Anyone Know Jose Gonzalez: Caregiver of the This Man? Last Thursday, a stalker/ peeping-tom/paparazzi was seen taking pictures of a woman and her child at an intersection near Foothill Blvd. and Commerce in Tujunga at about 6:30 p.m. Lurking in the bushes so that no one could see him, he’d venture out, take a picture with his cell phone and duck back into the bushes. He was spotted by Doc of the Foothills Paper who took Perp checks pix pictures of his activities. When on his cell phone. the woman and child entered When the Paper’s staff were the Paper’s rig and went unable to revive him, they around the corner on Hironcalled 911 and requested a delle, everyone was surprised paramedic to their location. to see the perp speeding down While the staff were talking the same road on his bicycle. with both the LAPD and LAFD Then the real surprise came when the speeding cyclist tried dispatchers, the perp got up, shook his head and took off to pass the Rover on its left down the alley way leaving beside, hit a loose boulder in the hind copious amounts of blood street and flew over the rig, and his broken eyeglasses. breaking the side-view mirror and landing on his head knock- His eyeglasses are a type sold see Stalker, page 2 ing him unconscious.

L.A. Minimum Wage Above $15 an Hour? And the “Mis-Speakers” continue with their not quite right concept of raising the California minimum wage to $13.75. L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti introduced a motion Tuesday to raise the minimum wage in 2017 and another $2.00 by 2019. In a non-public event in the Media Room of city hall, four councilmembers, Mike Bonin, Gilberto Cedillo, Nury Martinez and Curren Price presented a motion to the Council and City Atty. Mike Feuer to create an ordinance which would raise the minimum wage to $13.25 by July 1, 2017. It would be indexed annually to the rate of inflation. Garcetti had already proposed the wage increase last Labor Day and drew the ire of local business groups and the L.A. Area Chamber of Commerce. A little later at an “by invitation only” gathering at the
L.A. Baking Company in Lincoln Heights V.P. Joe Biden met with more city councilmen for a round-table discussion. “No one in America should be working 40 hours a week and living below the poverty level–no one,” said Biden in his opening state-
ments. An impressive array of dignitaries were there for the round-table discussion which included L.A. Councilmen Herb Wesson and Gil Cedillo, Congressman Xavier Becerra, Congresswoman Judy Chu, Congresswoman Janice Hahn, see Wages, page 5

Raiche of Tujunga, California recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Raiche completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment.

Where have all the honest people gone? This was an interesting weekend as I worked at the ranch, repairing water lines and sorting through the accumulation of old equipment and just plain junk. I got to thinking about the “Gateway” project and those backers that really don’t care what anyone thinks, they want us to be a “Gateway” to something. Paolina Milano joined forces with Chamber pot of commerce president Cindy Cleghorn, to pretend that it was already happening. No one has accepted it, yet it is on all the C of C materials, and son-of-a-gun, it is now appearing on the Neighborhood council materials. And nobody knows how that happened. Maybe nobody cares? For
years, advocates of the National forest becoming a federally protected forest were pushing their congressman’s buttons to get our mountains declared a National Monument. Well it happened. And of course, just like everything else here in our little community, the advocates got sandbagged. Our part of the Angeles National Forest was excluded from the monument area. I guess we have to pick up our own bright blue disposable diapers in the wash. Anyway, nothing has really changed. The attempted suicides are categorized as “drug overdoses” the drivers continue to try to kill everything moving or parked, and our own internet version of the KKK/Hate sites continue to be promoted by Michael Higby and the people at the
“I hate the foothills paper.” But so what? Nothing ever changes here, we just get more building, more trash and of course, more Hookah bars. But the good thing is that the competition drives out the shoddy business establishments and makes more room for the quality ones. Can you believe it? We have three publications and one real newspaper here. Are there really that many people with birdcages? This is an incredible community with some really incredible people in it. Wouldn’t it be nice if they would stop lying about what they’re doing and join hands to have one big community awareness/action group? But for now, the greed and avarice just continues to permeate the local organizations.

Dear Editor, In our day-to-day hustle, it’s easy to forget how beautiful L.A. County really is. Our County’s parks and beaches are essential factors in the quality of life we all enjoy and on Nov. 4, voters have a chance to protect and maintain these natural resources. In 1992, County voters approved the Safe Neighborhood Parks Proposition A, which authorized a property tax on businesses and residents to maintain the beauty of our parks, neighborhoods and beaches. This November, Proposition P–or the Safe Neighborhood Parks Measure–is on the ballot to continue that funding. Prop P would maintain the flow of $54 million annually—just like Prop A. The new measure would address natural resource preservation and water quality improvement in our lakes, beaches and the L.A. River. It would fund gang prevention programs for at-risk youth, and recreational opportunities in underserved communities. It would also upgrade playground equipment for safety compliance and improve lighting and alarm systems in parks to increase security and usability. Prop P proposes a flat property tax of $23 per parcel for all businesses and homeowners. The proposition outlines the percentage
of funds that would be allocated into various categories, including 20 percent to cities for neighborhood park improvements, and 30 percent for the development and upkeep of regional open space. Prop P requires annual, independent and publicly available audits of expenditures to ensure that all funds are being appropriated the way we, the taxpayers,
expect. Each project will require additional workers and job training programs for youths, which will help address another one of L.A. County’s top priorities. Since 1992, nearly 1,500 projects have been completed with the annual $54 million generated from Prop A. These projects included new children’s play areas, recreation and senior centers,
hiking trails and enhanced drinking water quality. If Prop P passes to replace Prop A, these kinds of projects will continue to be funded. I encourage all of our members and their employees to Vote YES for Prop P on November 4. Gary Toben LAA COC

E ntertainment S ection
Dreamsville Project: A Return to Tin Pan Alley, Vaudeville and Movies in Black & White All across the United States, from October 15th to December 15th of 2014, lovers of good old-fashioned American entertainment will be funneling money into the new entertainment vehicle that is tagged the ultimate in entertainment preservation. It’s called The Dreamsville Project, and it’s aimed at reviving and preserving America’s golden age of entertainment. While the entertainment of yesteryear remains popular with untold numbers of people, the type of knowledge and skill that created those wonderful pastimes have all but disappeared from today’s entertainment scene; it is the goal of The Dreamsville Project to bring them back “It’s what the public wants,” says Sharon Evans, creator of the project. “It’s why millions of people are still watching the old movies, TV shows and listening to the music. It’s why there are still fan clubs for entertainers who died more than 50 years ago. People want entertainment that’s high quality, that’s memorable, that’s clean; entertainment that you can enjoy again and again. It’s extremely difficult to find such
product produced in today’s entertainment industry.” The crowd-funding campaign for this highly ambitious endeavor is on www.IndieGoGo. com (under the ‘Theater’ category), and it’s entirely the brainchild of Miss Sharon Evans, “straight man” of the musical comedy team of Evans and Rogers. Evans has been working for years on The Dreamsville Project, laying out the business plan and waiting for the right time to make it happen. With the advent of crowd funding and its increased popularity, as well as a rise in interest in vintage entertainment among young people, she believes that now is the time. Donations for The Dreamsville Project start at the $1 level (that’s right) and each and every donor will receive a reward of some kind. Rewards include music CDs, original artwork, free tickets to shows, and more. Everyone who has an appreciation of America’s golden age of entertainment is invited to donate. Aside from the rewards, donors will have the knowledge that their dollars will create jobs
It’s (Not) a Date! “It’s (Not) a Date!” was more than this reviewer could understand, until the end when it all came together making me say “Oh Wow!” “It’s (Not) a Date!” is a really feel good movie that goes bad in the first 10 minutes and then the comedy begins. If you like dark comedy with a twist you’re going to love this one. This is the story of Carly and Milo, a couple in their twenties who hook up on their first date. Although “it’s not a date” but more of a casual meet at a local club; it begins as a classic girl meets boy saga with the usual casual conversation that escalates to a night of passion. Carly is a twenty-something in the dating scene who, like a lot of women her age, is struggling to find the right guy. After a series of “bad dates,” she meets Milo, a young man who seems perfect until she realizes he is not what he
seems. What should have been a story that evolves into a romantic partnership or ends with bad chemistry, instead takes a kink in the road with Carly taking over as a vengeful bitch that is frustrated from her life full of bad dates. What was a beautiful one night stand ends up with Carly believing that Milo is the worst of all her past experiences and she decides to take Milo on a detour into insanity so extreme he wishes he never met her. Carly kidnaps Milo, puts him through a series of bizarre humiliations, and finally, gathering her dysfunctional family and friends into her calamity, plots how to undo her mistakes and rid herself of this “bad date” with predictably bizarre results. The end scene pulls it all together and makes you laugh at the horror you have just seen bestowed on Milo as
the police and emergency services descend on their love nest. The film written and directed by Barry Pollack, (an emergency room M.D. in real life) is so far off the wall as to make it seem like something you could get trapped in. It gives “un-safe sex” a whole different meaning.

L.A. Children’s Chorus Presents Southern California Debut of Acclaimed German Boys and Men Choir Windsbacher Knabenchor Los Angeles Children’s Chorus (LACC), building upon its long history of presenting other children’s choirs from the U.S. and abroad, hosts the highly anticipated Southern California debut of the illustrious German boys and mens choir Windsbacher Knabenchor on Sunday, October 26, 2014, at Pasadena Presbyterian Church. The exchange is part of Windsbacher’s 13-day U.S. tour, its first in 23 years, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of fall of the Berlin Wall and Germany’s subsequent reunification. Noted for its distinctive soaring sound and invigorating performances, the choir, which hails from the town of Windsbacher, Germany, is under the direction of Martin Lehman. The concert also features LACC’s acclaimed Con-
edge. Strindberg’s mordant yet bracingly funny play about spouses revolting against each another was revolutionary in its brutally honest depiction of marital discord and psychological warfare, and influenced an array of 20th century playwrights, not the least of whom are Edward Albee and John Guare.

Dad’s Chow Chow
If you have a productive vegetable garden, there is nothing better than picking fresh cucumbers, red onions, bell peppers and tomatoes for this recipe. My dad would bring these into the house and as he was chopping them you could literally taste the vegetables by taking a deep breath through your nose. In addition to the vegetables, my dad added salad oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. For me, this is the taste of summer and takes me back to my childhood on a lazy summer day in the San Francisco Bay Area. Why my dad called this chow-chow I don’t remember. Now that I think about it, it does not call for pickling as does southern style chow chow found just about anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the Texas border. This tastes best when chilled

How often do we, as artists, stop and check on our development? Do we notice any improvement when we work? At what point do we notice any changes in the quality of our work? Or, for that matter what we’ve learned? It’s good to take stock every once in a while. Check to see if we are improving or if we are we stuck in the same place; doing the same thing in the same way. After reviewing our recent work, and notice it all looks relatively the same, with repeated themes; or the use of tried and true techniques and methods, and all the work has a similarity. But how do we look into ourselves? What is it we look for when noticing any improvement? To what degree do we stop and check our progress? For some, you wake one day, and there is an ease with working. The process of painting is achieved with less effort. Not so much with the ideas but in execution and application. The whole process seems a bit easier. That could be a sign of improvement. To be honest, I don’t spend too much time delving into my psyche. I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep examining yourself. It’s not a good practice to keep digging at a scab to see if the wound is healing. There are intuitive things that happen when things are going well and we find ourselves improving. Certain principles become automatic, like walking for example. I don’t thing about putting one foot in front of the

The study is supposed to examine the economic consequences of raising the wage to this level.

other to get somewhere. The process is involuntary, a knee jerk reaction if you pardon the pun. Most things I do are instinctive. To be creative there needs to be introspection. Artists need look into themselves in order to get to the root of who they are; what they feel and think about things. Wonder and examine the mysteries of life and people. Once you get a handle on who you are, the easier it is to translate your thoughts and idea onto canvas. As a byproduct of this personal understanding, I believe, the work becomes more truthful, honest. There is a spontaneity in the way you handle things, less thought about how to and more about what needs to be done to achieve the goal. This “thinking” of improvement becomes more apparent when I am teaching my students. When looking at them I see myself and the difficulties I want through to get where I am. The struggle and pain of learning what a difficult craft, is worth the effort. We don’t attain great skill without hard work no matter what we do. Painting is no exception. Creating art at a high level requires diligence, dedication and years of study. Creating something that moves people and can also change the world, takes understanding, knowledge, and empathy. It also takes a great deal of self-knowledge. If you are true to the process, you intuitively know when improvement is eminent.

I’ve been hearing complaints from constituents that DMV charged them a higher city tax rate when they don’t actually live within city boundaries. These constituents were forced to jump through hoops to prove they didn’t owe the higher tax. As their elected representative, I was happy to assist them in obtaining refunds, but DMV should have never overcharged them in the first place. What’s worse is that these overcharges are not isolated incidents, but rather a systemic problem resulting from DMV’s bizarre reliance on zip codes to determine tax rates. Sales and use tax rates vary widely across California and change over time. In addition to the statewide sales and use tax rate of 7.5 percent, many cities and counties add voter-approved local taxes. The result is some cities have sales tax rates as high as 10 percent. Unlike typical retail transactions, the tax rate for a vehicle sale is based on the address provided to the DMV by the registered owner, not where the sale took place. If you buy your car at a dealership, the burden is on the car dealer to collect the tax. But in the case
of a private party sale, DMV collects the tax when the buyer registers the vehicle. We’re not talking pocket change here. Getting the tax rate wrong on a vehicle purchase could easily force a buyer to pay hundreds in unfair taxes. One might think DMV would take great care to calculate the correct rate. Not so. DMV relies entirely on zip codes to determine tax. If even a small portion of a zip code’s territory has a higher tax rate, DMV typically charges everyone in that zip code the higher tax. DMV admits zip codes are not a reliable way to determine tax. Even so, savvy buyers must fill out a “city use tax waiver” to avoid paying the higher tax. According to DMV procedures, to avoid being overcharged a resident or business in an unincorporated area must submit a statement of facts, a letter on city letterhead or a certificate of use tax clearance. This is outrageous! To make matters worse, DMV routinely broadcasts tax rates by zip code in its “Vehicle Industry News” publication, potentially leading others to charge too much tax as well. There’s really no excuse for this sort of incompetence in the 21st century, especially in a land of technology like California.

Foothills Pet Page It’s a Dog’s Life!
Last Saturday was the 2nd annual celebration and hundreds enjoyed it! By David DeMullé The Second Annual Crescenta Valley Dog Park Celebration & Festival was held last Saturday at the Crescenta Valley Park,. People celebrated all things dogs with dog-related vendors on hand with everything imaginable including such booths as dog and veterinary care boutiques, toys, adoptions and give-aways.. “We had raffle prizes and fun and best of all, it’s a free community event for the family,” said Abel Garnica, Crescenta Valley Community Regional Recreation Services supervisor. Also present were the Los Angeles Responsible Pit Bull Owners Association, which will train dogs in obedience. Doggie Wonderland had a presentation on how to find the
perfect dog sitter, and there was also be an emergency pet preparedness presentation. Just for fun, they also had a dog contest called “CV’s Finest Dog” witch includes a variety of categories from best trick to best costume. Pasadena and San Gabriel humane societies both had booths as did Petco and the Crescenta-Cañada Pet Hospital. This was an event for everyone AND their dogs.

Should She Stay or Should She Go?
Your dog is your family member, so it’s only natural to want to enjoy her company all the time, and take her along everywhere possible. However, the decision to travel with a pet particularly on an extended road trip - is one that requires a good deal of consideration. There are several questions you should ask yourself before loading Fido or Fifi up in the car, and all of them involve ensuring your pet’s ultimate comfort and well-being. What is your pet’s temperament? If your pet is easygoing and adaptable, taking her along is an easy decision. However, if your pet is nervous, anxious, grumpy, uneasy on car rides, or skittish when it comes to new places or new people, she may not be a great candidate for a trip. You also have to consider others as you plan your trip. If you will be dealing with crowds, using public transportation or
visiting beaches, parks or pet friendly hot spots, your pet needs to be well-behaved, properly socialized and friendly. Is the trip one your pet will enjoy? Make sure that your travel plans include staying somewhere your pet will be comfortable, and doing things she’ll be happy doing. For example, if your pet loves an outdoor adventure, a destination with hiking or river romping will be right up her alley. However, if you will be stuck in work meetings and have to find a doggie day care (as many pet friendly hotels do not allow pets to stay alone in rooms), or you’re staying with Aunt Bessie and she doesn’t have a yard, you may want to rethink the idea of bringing her along. Is your pet in good health? If your pet is sick, pregnant, or injured, it’s best if she stays home until she is feeling well.
After all, she may need more care than you can give her while you’re traveling, and since she can’t speak, there’s no real way of knowing her actual level of discomfort. Pain or discomfort may even cause a change in her temperament, and you may find that your happygo-lucky furry friend suddenly isn’t such a pleasant travel companion. If your pet is elderly, but in good health, you will need to make a judgment call - if she is used to traveling with you and still seems enthusiastic at the idea, you can probably take her along with no problem, provided she can still comfortably participate. A quick consult with your veterinarian can help you determine whether car travel is right for an elderly pet. Are you crossing state lines? Different states have different restrictions on pets. Some states require quarantines for carnivosee Trips, pg. 11

Trips, from pg. 8 rous animals, and some require an up-to-date certificate stating that your pet is in good health. It’s a good idea to get such a certificate if you plan to travel through different states. If your pet is healthy and has the right temperament, hitting the road together is a fantastic way to break up the routine with some new adventures, and a great opportunity to bond. However, even if your pet isn’t ideally suited to travel, all is not lost. There are many ways to alleviate temperament issues. The right training and coaching can help desensitize your pet to the things that upset her and help her become comfortable with traveling. Be aware that most of these techniques take time, and if you want your pet to be a
happy traveler, you must be patient and go at her pace. If your pet is a nervous traveler, planning shorter trips, or planning trips that would be fun and interesting for her can help her adapt and learn that travel can be pleasant. If she suffers from motion sickness, there are plenty of proven remedies that can help her stay well on car rides, including reconditioning, holistic remedies, or medication. In the end, with a little bit of patience and work on both your parts, even a reluctant rider can learn to enjoy car trips with you, making traveling with your pet a win for everyone.

LCFOG Holds Book and Author Luncheon in Sunland By Arlene Massimino
The La Cañada–Flintridge Orthopaedic Guild (LCFOG) is happy to welcome three amazing authors who will speak at the annual Book and Author Luncheon October 28, 2014. The luncheon, a major fundraising event for the Guild, founded in 1957 and an auxiliary of Charitable Children’s Guild will be held at Angeles National Golf Club 9401 Foothill Boulevard in Sunland. Guild members support Orthopaedic Institute for Children, formerly Orthopaedic Hospital, with funds and volunteer hours. LCFOG has pledged $100,000 towards the building of OIC Ambulatory Surgery Center on the downtown Los Angeles campus. As an auxiliary, one hundred percent of all contributions to the Guild and profits from the book sales and luncheon go directly to Charitable Children’s Guild for donation to Orthopaedic Institute for Children Ambulatory Surgery Center fund. Frans Vischer, author and il-
lustrator of Avery Fuddles’ Christmas has used his drawing skills to communicate since he was an 11-year old immigrant to America from Holland. By age 13, he was making his own animated films using a super-eight camera and a light box. Later, Frans, still enthralled with animation, attended California Institute of the Arts, Valencia. After graduation he worked at Walt Disney Studios on The Princess and The Frog and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? He did Cats Don’t Dance at Warner Brothers and The Road to El Dorado at Dreamworks. He is currently working on a new book where Fuddles, the fat, pampered cat needs to share his domain with an uncultured, sloppy new puppy, who wets the floor frequently, not at all acceptable to Fuddles. Look for Fuddles and Puddles on bookshelves soon. Natalie Baszile will present her debut novel, Queen Sugar, told in captivating and colorful detail about a single mother who inherits 800 acres of prime sugar cane
fields in Louisiana. The inheritance comes with one requisite, she must work the land or lose it! The author’s philanthropic service goes back to Natalie’s high school days when, as a member of Las Ninas Auxiliary she volunteered her time to Orthopaedic Institute for Children. Queen Sugar won Natalie the Hurston Wright College Writer’s Award. She earned a M.A. in Afro-American Studies from UCLA and graduated Warren Wilson College’s MFA Program for writers and is a Holden Minority Scholar. Currently, she is a member of the San Francisco Writer’s Grotto. Her book, outlining a woman’s struggle in a man’s world, is a must read! Now let’s talk cooking. Cherie Twohy, passionate about travel and culinary traditions, has traveled the world. She leads field trips to gourmet purveyors and conducts private cooking classes with a relaxed and humorous attitude. She received her Professional Culinary Arts diploma from California School of Culinary Arts. Her
many accomplishments and interest in LCFOG has led her to return to the Book and Author Luncheon to present three Trader Joe’s cookbooks. Cherie is one of only 300 culinarians worldwide, along with Julia Childs and Jacques Pepin, to be named a Certified Culinary Professional. The mission of Orthopaedic Institute for Children is to provide orthopaedic care for children with musculoskeletal disorders regardless of ability to pay and to advance care worldwide for all orthopaedic disorders through medical education and scientific research. Money raised by auxiliaries such as LCFOG and from the sale of these authors’ books will help to further the cause of OIC. Space is limited at the Luncheon and is by invitation. If you are interested in attending please contact Joan Cleven 818 249-4603 and request an invitation be mailed to you. Donations may be sent to La Canada Flintridge Orthopaedic Guild P.O. Box 777, La Canada Flintridge, CA 91012-0777.
