The enduring strug-gle continues to get more complex in an effort to get accurate information regarding what led up to the destruction of over 200 trees, a woodland wildlife area in Arcadia last month.

Deeply concerned resi-dents and others have ex-pressed concern that there has been a cover-up of sorts with regard to dissemina-tion of public information on this particular matter.

Dept of Fish and Game’s Kelly Schmoker

State Controller John Chiang today unveiled an updated website showing the salary, pension benefits and other employee compensa-tion for several hundred local transit, waste disposal, and fire and police protection dis-tricts.

“Californians were of-fered instant access to salary information in their own com-munities when I launched the first public payroll site of city and county compensation last fall,” said Chiang. “Posting this information allows Cali-fornia residents to see where their public dollars are being spent and to better hold their local agencies accountable.”

Last October, the Con-troller collected and posted wage information for more than 600,000 city and county employees. He then ordered special districts across the state to report the same infor-mation.

Compensation informa-tion for employees of special districts is being collected and posted on the website in four phases. The first phase – launched today – includes more than $3 billion in pay-roll reported by 693 local agencies. The next phase will include land reclamation and levee maintenance, health, hospital and water agencies.

The Local Government Compensation Reporting website covers elected offi-cials as well as public employ-ees. It includes the following information for each position:

•Minimum and maxi-mum salary ranges;

•Actual wages paid; •The applicable retire-

ment formula; •Any contributions by

the employer to the employ-ee’s share of pension costs;

•Any contributions by the employer to the employ-ee’s deferred compensation plan; and

•Any employer pay-ments for the employee’s health, vision and dental pre-

Temple Grandin arrived in Pasa-dena last Thurs-

day evening to speak at an Autism Conference at the Pasadena Hilton last Friday. Gradin has gained fame as an Autis-tic adult who overcame tremendous obstacles – she was recently the subject of an award-win-ning HBO movie star-ring Claire Daines.

Temple Grandin, Ph.D. who has battled au-tism her entire life, the fa-cility for special-needs and autistic clients Thursday night. The executives at Villa Esperanza, parents and staff were delighted to have Dr. Grandin visit.

Dr. Grandin is a de-signer of livestock han-dling facilities and a Pro-fessor of Animal Science at Colorado State Univer-sity. Facilities she has de-signed are located in the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Austra-lia, New Zealand, and other countries. In North America, almost half of the cattle are handled in a center track restrainer sys-tem that she designed for

meat plants. Curved chute and race systems she has designed for cattle are used worldwide and her writings on the flight zone

and other principles of grazing animal behavior have helped many people to reduce stress on their animals during handling.

She has also devel-oped an objective scor-ing system for assessing handling of cattle and pigs at meat plants. This scor-ing system is being used by many large corpora-

tions to improve animal welfare. Other areas of research are: cattle tem-perament, environmental enrichment for pigs, re-

ducing dark cutters and bruises, bull fertility, train-ing procedures, and ef-fective stunning methods for cattle and pigs at meat plants.

She obtained her B.A. at Frankin Pierce College and her M.S. in Animal Science at Arizona State University. Dr. Grandin received her Ph.D in Ani-

mal Science from the Uni-versity of Illinois in 1989. Today she teaches courses on livestock behavior and facility design at Colorado State University and con-sults with the livestock in-dustry on facility design, livestock handling, and animal welfare.

In 1961 a group of mothers had a vision. They believed their spe-cial needs children de-served quality care and education and founded one of the first schools in Los Angeles County for children with Down syn-drome. This school (that would later become Villa Esperanza) was a response to community needs un-fulfilled because no public schools offered programs for children with devel-opmental disabilities. The school was then known as Pasadena Retarded Chil-dren’s Foundation.

Proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Autism and other dis-abilities can be fought with hard work, Grandin spoke eloquently of her

Controller Releases More Local Government Payroll Figures

The divisive decision by Mayor Amund-son to bring Focus

on Family’s H.B. London to Arcadia in March is having some significant repercus-sion in the community.

During Tuesday’s regu-lar City Council meeting, nine area residents spoke passionately and powerfully about Mayor Amundson’s decicision to have city funds pay for a speaker from the anti-gay organization such as Focus on Family at the com-munity breakfast in March. Their statements were both honest and moving, and two speakers got choked up to the point of tears during public comment. The Arca-dia GSA showed up in force with a number of students, two of whom gave passion-ate statements.

Beginners of all ages welcome!

The way my life has been going recently im-pels me to once again take up the subject of getting old. I guess I won’t call it “getting old”. I’ll refer to it as “the aging process.” Sounds better.

The aging process is something everyone any-where in the world can re-late to. It starts the day we are born and runs at fast speed for a time. Watch-ing little newborn bodies age into miniature adult bodies is delightful and fas-cinating.

Their acute hearing allows them to react to sound immediately. Then they begin to discern the direction from which it is coming. Soon they begin to recognize voices, and other sounds become fa-miliar. Their eyes first see light, then shape. Then they follow motion and be-gin to focus. Little fists be-gin to grab and hold tight. Limber fingers grasp tiny

objects. Legs grow strong and feet take on a purpose. Minds grow sharp and lan-guage develops.

That tiny newborn body becomes the minia-ture adult body that has now only to grow and ex-perience. All part of the aging process.

The process contin-ues at a relatively moder-ate pace with reasonably moderate change then, be-fore we can believe it, we begin to realize we are ap-proaching the other end of the timeline. Fascinating maybe, but not so delight-ful. The process begins to reverse, slowly at first.

Perhaps slowly is the key word in the reversal process. We begin to slow down, can’t move as fast and can’t accomplish as much. Familiar sounds be-gin to garble. Acute hear-ing begins to wane and disappear. Light dims and shapes become shadows. Focus becomes dependent

upon bifocals and trifocals.Once limber fingers

become stiff, and com-plaining knuckles some-times cause fists to become permanent. Grasping tiny objects becomes a mem-ory. Legs grow weaker instead of stronger and the main purpose of the feet seems to be to hurt. The body begins to bend, shrink and ache.

If we’re lucky, the mind continues to experi-ence, but it takes more ef-fort. Everything does. It’s part of the aging process.

I’m willing to call it “the aging process” but no matter what I call it, I’m beginning to get old. This is one beginning I’m not sure I’m going to enjoy. But since it is part of the process, I guess I’ll have to take it in stride, then ad-just the stride as needed. I’m sure, now and then, I’ll feel impelled to tell you how I’m coping as I proceed.

Two felony charges have been filed against the driver of a car that struck and killed a Pasadena woman Tania Hollins, who was in her wheelchair out-side a convalescent home last Thursday evening.

Deshawn Chapman, 28, of Pasadena in addition to manslaughter the sus-pect has been charged with felony child endangerment that killed the 52 year old Hollins.

Chapman is in cus-tody in Pasadena. Police say they believe the driver was driving at excessive speeds on Fair Oaks Ave-nue about 6:30 p.m. Thurs-day when another vehicle backed out of a driveway in front of Chapman’s car and as a result of Chap-man trying to avoid this car, he struck and pinned Hollins under the car. She died at the scene according to authorities.

Asuza voted in support of a new mining plan during a special election last Tues-day.

The margin was more than 2-to-1, with 1,972 vot-ing for Measure A and only 945 opposing it. Turnout was extremely low at about 17 percent.

The results of the elec-tion mark a major victory for Vulcan Materials Co.’s

Azusa Rock Quarry mining plan, its supporters and the four City Council members who had approved it last July.

A group of residents called Azusans Against Min-ing Expansion said it simply couldn’t battle the large Vul-can corporation.

A lawsuit filed has been filed by Duarte and a hearing is scheduled for March.

Vulan Scores Major Victory

At the request of City Council Member Tom Adams, the new city logo which Mayor Mary Ann Lutz had unveiled just last week at the State of the City Address was discussed at the Council Meeting on Tuesday. Earlier in the week, Adams said that he had requested the item be added to the agenda as neither he nor any of the other council members had been consulted about

the proposed change.

T h e council did not make a decision on Tuesday, but r e q u e s t e d that a full staff report be made on the logo and its potential costs. At a future date, the item will again ap-pear on the agenda for

a full discussion by the council with input from the citizens. A date has not yet been set for that item to reappear on the council agenda according to City Clerk Alice Atkins.

City Spokesman, Dan Bell said the plan was not to roll out the logo until the celebration of the 125 anni-versary of the founding of the city in 1886.

Willa Zhang made the fol-lowing statement Tuesday night…

“My concern tonight is regarding the proposed keynote speaker at this year’s Mayor’s Communi-ty Breakfast, Mr. H.B. Lon-don, Jr. As vice president of the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, Mr. London represents an organization with a marked intolerance towards lesbian,

gay, bisexual, and transgen-der individuals in both their homes and communities.

One of Focus on the Family’s most harmful and hateful campaigns is their continual fight against the prevention of bullying.1 Why is it that Focus on the Family would aggressively condemn school policies that try to protect children

struggles.Grandin, who didn’t

talk until she was 3 ½, spoke in articulate but tough terms about how parents and teachers have to relate to those with autism. In the 50’s there were not the distractions we have such as video games…however there was also more stigma at-tached to diseases of the mind and subsequently Autism was often labeled as retardation.

Grandin was diag-nosed with autism in 1950, and her parents were told to hospitalize her. At that time, she said, many chil-dren with the condition were labeled severely re-tarded.

Since then, she said, autism’s “full spectrum,” has been realized, includ-ing those with Asperger’s, the highly focused chil-dren like Grandin.

Asperger syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder that is character-ized by: limited interests or an unusual preoccu-pation with a particular subject to the exclusion of other activities repetitive routines or rituals pecu-liarities in speech and lan-

guage, such as speaking in an overly formal man-ner or in a monotone, or taking figures of speech literally socially and emo-tionally inappropriate be-havior and the inability to interact successfully with peers problems with non-verbal communication, in-cluding the restricted use of gestures, limited or in-appropriate facial expres-sions, or a peculiar, stiff gaze clumsy and uncoor-dinated motor movements as is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), one of a distinct group of neurolog-ical conditions character-ized by a greater or lesser degree of impairment in language and communi-cation skills, as well as repetitive or restrictive patterns of thought and behavior. Other ASDs in-clude: classic autism, Rett syndrome, childhood dis-integrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (usually referred to as PDD-NOS).

Parents usually sense there is something un-usual about a child with AS by the time of his or her third birthday, and some children may ex-

hibit symptoms as early as infancy. Unlike children with autism, children with AS retain their early lan-guage skills. Motor devel-opment delays – crawling or walking late, clumsi-ness – are sometimes the first indicator of the disor-der.

Grandin is a professor of animal sciences at Col-orado State University. She designed humane cat-tle-handling facilities and equipment used a great deal of cattle ranches in the United States.

The HB0 film, with Clare Danes as Temple Grandin, was a stunning success for all involved and help raise awareness on a complex subject.

It’s been really ex-citing - but increased her work, Grandin said of all the publicity after the film was aired.

A great deal of ad-vancements have taken place to benefit the de-velopmentally disabled community since Villa Es-peranza Services opened the first independent day school in Pasadena in 1961 for children with

On January 13, 2011, over 30 (nervous, yet excit-ed) fourth, fifth, and sixth graders walked through the doors of the Instruc-tional Resource Center ready to compete in Clo-verly Elementary School’s annual Geography Bee.

The nail-biting com-petition lasted about 90

minutes as students navi-gated through seven gruel-ing rounds of challenging questions. In the end, half a dozen students were left for the tie breaking rounds.

Two sixth graders, William Xu and Alan Phu-ong, took first and second place. Third place went to fifth grader, Melissa Lai.

All winners were recog-nized at Cloverly’s Janu-ary Spirit Rally.

Congratulations to all participants and a special thank you to teacher De-nise Galvan for arranging, emceeing, and coordinat-ing practice sessions for Cloverly students! The competition was fierce!

Queen Elizabeth, the Cunard luxury cruise liner, that joined the historic fleet in October 2010 made its maiden voyage to Los An-geles in San Pedro on Sat-urday. The Capt. Joked that it was a bit difficult to dock the rather imposing piece of maritime machin-ery in the early morning fog that shrouded San Pe-dro early Saturday morn-ing. In addition to this, he quipped, we “had to back in.”

Among those on hand to meet and greet the mag-nificant ship later in the day when the sun finally retirned were Dame Barbara Hay, HM Cosul General Los Angeles and Janice Hahn, Councilwoman District 15.

Prior to the champagne reception and speeches, there was a brief tour of the overwhelming and beautiful ship which included a peek at the new Veranda dining room with its spectacular attention to fine and exqui-site detail. Those who might have sailed on the legendary Queen Mary will get a cer-

tain goose bump effect when first seeing these stylish ap-pointments.

The Royal Court the-atre is truly one of the most incredible theatres I’ve ever seen, on land or at sea. One can only imagine how Her Majesty must have enjoyed a presentation here a mere few months ago at the of-ficial launching. We were, by the way shown exactly where Her Majesty sat dur-ing this Royal Performance at sea.

After the tour, invited guests were treated to a spe-cial reception and presenta-tion of plaque(S) to Queen Elizabeth’s Captain, J. Bur-gess. Speeches by Cunard VIPs and local government helped send Queen Eliza-beth on her round the world tour in a style one can only say is Cunard! Elegant, dig-nified and truly Majestic in every sense of the word.

The impressive Queen Elizabeth relives, in modern glamour, the high society and fashionable decor of the 1930s and 1940s. Grace ornate rooms whose rich

woods and art recalls the her-itage of the first Cunarder to bear her name. Images and features from her predeces-sors, Queen Elizabeth and QE2 as well as the Queen Mary, sit comfortably along-side her modern charm in the halls of history aboard this marvelous vessel.

As we disembarked, a few of us thought of stowing aboard for the duration of the world cruise. A wonder-ful thought, but none of us had packed a tooth brush or change of clothes. Oh well, next time!

Jack LaLanne’s legacy lives on with a couple that has been training people for the last 50 years. Sarah and Harry Sneider have followed Jack from the 1960’s when he had his own TV show for 37 years. Jack asked Harry and Sarah to appear on The Jack LaLanne Show in 1974 about individuals overcom-ing adversity. Harry Snei-der, being disabled with a fused hip, could only use the other leg to set a world re-cord of 490 lbs on his good leg. Jack asked the audience “What are your excuses for not trying to stay physically fit?”

In 1980, Jack invited the Sneiders to his Hollywood Hills home. There he en-dorsed their program called

“Resistive Rebounding”. The Sneiders put together a book called “The Olympic Trainer” using rebounders and soft hand-held weights that is an excellent fitness program for the entire fam-ily. Jack is pictured in their book doing exercises that he highly recommended.

In 1992 Harry and Sarah were invited to The White House for the Great American Workout that was promoted by President George H. Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schwar-zenegger was the Chairman for the President’s Coun-cil on Physical Fitness and Sports. Jack was there on The White House Lawn per-forming pushups and other exercises along with Harry

Sneider who was attempting to break the world record in the bench press with fellow Arcadian Bob Wieland.

The Sneiders last saw Jack at a Jack LaLanne Juic-er promotion. One of the last things that Jack told us, “It’s against my image to get sick or die.” Jack lived to be 96 years of age and helped millions of people to health, wellness, and happiness. He is a lifelong inspiration to the all of us!

The Sneiders are cur-rently professional trainers that follow Jack’s principles with their clients. They would enjoy helping anyone who needs their services. You can reach them at 626-355-8964 or email [email protected].

The original Fibber McGee and Molly, Jim and Marian Jordan. How about a night of nostalgia, the Golden Days of Radio, 1935-1959, at Sierra Madre Playhouse, February 6, 7 p.m.

Fibber McGee and Molly was one of the most popular comedies of the Golden Days of Radio, en-during from 1935-1959. The fun is being recreated by ac-tors of Bill Martyn’s Special Mark Productions in a mock radio broadcast on Sunday, February 2, at 7 p.m.

Fibber McGee was a likable fellow frequently get-ting himself into some sort of trouble, patiently endured and soothed by his loving wife, Molly. Their home at 79 Wistful Vista was fre-quently visited by a comical assortment of characters (in every sense of that word).

The actors will recreate the original broadcasts com-plete with commercials and sound effects. The show’s most famous running gag was the overstuffed hallway

closet, which would burst with a cacophonous down-pour of stuff when anyone opened it.

Radio episodes being recreated include Fibber the Magician (1948), Molly the Dressmaker (1949), Fib-ber and Molly Braid a Rug (1952), and Fibber and the I.R.S. (1952).

The actors of Special Mark Productions play roles originally made famous by Marian and Jim Jordan, Harlow Wilcox, Harold Peary, Gale Gordon, Bea Benedaret, Arthur Q. Brian, Bill Thompson, and Cliff Arquette. The series’ head writer and co-creator was Donald Quinn. Fibber Mc-Gee and Molly would have endured into the 60s, but bur Marian Jordan’s failing health. Now, for one more

night, you can see what all the fun was about.

Tickets are $20, seniors and students $17 call (626)

The City Zoo 2,” a Valen-tine’s Day event celebrat-

ing animal mating, dating and co-habitating, is pre-sented by the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA) on Sunday, Feb-ruary 13, 5-7 p.m. in the zoo’s Witherbee Audito-rium.

The lighthearted af-fair begins with a reception featuring tempting des-serts and alluring wines, followed by a provocative presentation by zoo vet-eran Jason Jacobs, with insights about the pros and cons of relationships vs. staying single in the animal kingdom. Proceeds from

the fund-raiser, the second annual, support the zoo’s mission of wildlife preser-vation and conservation.

The fabulous Big Band Show Saturday, January 29 at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse was almost a sell-out. “A cocktail for the Ears,” the singing group Ready, Willing and Mobil, seen here after the show, (l-r) Peter Neuschal, Caro-line McLean, Bobby Hundley (producer), Kate Walker, and Jim Campbell.

Cacti and succulents will be the subject of a slide program at Sierra Madre Garden Club’s dinner meeting on Mon-day, February 14, 6 p.m., at Memorial Park Hart Se-nior Center, 222 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. The public is invited.

The program will be presented by Tom Ver-milion, a member and past president of the San Gabriel Valley Cactus and Succulent Society. He has been growing these ver-satile plants for 40 years.

They are considered easy to grow, ideal for drought-resistant conditions and their variety of exotic shapes often with showy flowers make them ideal for the garden or hand-some accents when grown in containers.

Cost of the catered dinner is $9 with reserva-tions needed by calling “Snooky” Greger at (626) 355-0606. If you would like to skip dinner and come just for the program, come by 6:45, and there is no charge.

Arcadia Historical Museum Presents Travel to Egypt


The Sierra Madre His-torical Preservation Society invites you to attend its an-nual meeting on Thursday, February 17, 6:30 p.m., at Methodist Church Hartzell Hall, located at the corner of W. Sierra Madre blvd. and Michillinda Ave., with parking north of the church. Enter parking lot from Michillinda with Hartzell Hall a few steps away. There is no charge for the evening and re-freshments will be served.

Local resident, Dan Richter, will present a slide program about the historic Mt. Wilson Trail, the oldest trail this side of the San Ga-briel Mountains. Richter is truly a “mountain man” who has hiked the trail for 20 years, has climbed sev-eral mountain peaks and is an active member of Sierra Club. He has had a long career in the theatre as a mime, actor, director, cho-reographer, author, and for two decades, a Holly-wood producer.

Also to be introduced will be Maurice Orme, Historical Society mem-ber whose family owned Lizzie’s Trail Inn and Richardson House from 1938 until its closing in 1948. These are museums now operated by the Soci-ety and located at the start of the Trail. The Ormes were related to “Lizzie” McElwain, who ran the popular restaurant from 1925 to 1938 when she sold due to poor health.

This year, 2011, is a significant year for the Society as it will celebrate its 80th birthday. The an-nual meeting is the first event planned for the year. The Society’s recent pub-lication, a prize winning history of the city titled Southern California Story: Seeking the Better Life in Sierra Madre, will be avail-able for sale that evening.

For additional infor-mation, call Phyllis Chap-man at (626) 355-3928.

Women,” in which she portrays over 30 histori-cal women, including her popular portrayal of Betsy Ross for school children. At Forest Lawn Memorial Park, she is a lecturer on art and history. McIntosh’s portrayal of Martha Wash-ington will follow the young Martha from widowhood to her marriage to General George Washington, and then to her White House years as First Lady to our first president.

Guests are welcome to come enjoy the CalRTA luncheon and Debbie Mc-Intosh’s impersonation of Martha Washington. Cost of the luncheon for mem-bers and guests is $10. Res-ervation deadline is Friday, February 4. For luncheon information, call John Gera at (626) 286-0714. Member-ship in the California Re-tired Teachers’ Association is open to all retired educa-tors, as well as to any oth-ers interested in joining this active group, which now numbers 534 members in CalRTA #71 (SGV).

President of the SGVMT, Sally Baldwin, with long-time sup-porters and donors are Dr. Annie and Dr. Tim Siu, Bill Payne and producer Bobby Hundley, who reports the group is op-erating in the black. Congratulations. Such a great addition to this area.

Down syndrome. Today, developmen-

tally disabled individuals are no longer secluded but are visible members of the community where they work, attend school and live in homes in the neighborhood.

Villa Esperanza Ser-vices has been at the fore-front of creating programs to give the developmen-tally disabled the chance to learn, work and play

with others. Today, Villa serves 24 school districts and over 41 cities in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.

Through the years the school gained widespread community support and in 1966 the name was changed to Villa Esper-anza, meaning “House of Hope.” As the children grew, Villa expanded its vision to include adult res-idential, vocational, day programs and new loca-tions in Ventura County. In 2000, “Services” was added to Villa’s name to reflect a new vision of pro-viding a range of services to a diverse, disabled population across the age continuum. The Adult Day Programs and Care Management program were added to serve aging developmentally disabled adults, as well as vulner-able, at-risk adults and seniors.

talk until she was 3 ½, spoke in articulate but tough terms about how parents and teachers have to relate to those with autism. In the 50’s there were not the distractions we have such as video games…however there was also more stigma at-tached to diseases of the mind and subsequently Autism was often labeled as retardation.

Grandin was diag-nosed with autism in 1950, and her parents were told to hospitalize her. At that time, she said, many chil-dren with the condition were labeled severely re-tarded.

Since then, she said, autism’s “full spectrum,” has been realized, includ-ing those with Asperger’s, the highly focused chil-dren like Grandin.

Asperger syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder that is character-ized by: limited interests or an unusual preoccu-pation with a particular subject to the exclusion of other activities repetitive routines or rituals pecu-liarities in speech and lan-guage, such as speaking in an overly formal man-ner or in a monotone, or taking figures of speech literally socially and emo-tionally inappropriate be-havior and the inability to interact successfully with peers problems with non-verbal communication, in-

cluding the restricted use of gestures, limited or in-appropriate facial expres-sions, or a peculiar, stiff gaze clumsy and uncoor-dinated motor movements as is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), one of a distinct group of neurolog-ical conditions character-ized by a greater or lesser degree of impairment in language and communi-cation skills, as well as repetitive or restrictive patterns of thought and behavior. Other ASDs in-clude: classic autism, Rett syndrome, childhood dis-integrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (usually referred to as PDD-NOS).

Parents usually sense there is something un-usual about a child with AS by the time of his or her third birthday, and some children may ex-hibit symptoms as early as infancy. Unlike children with autism, children with AS retain their early lan-guage skills. Motor devel-opment delays – crawling or walking late, clumsi-ness – are sometimes the first indicator of the disor-der.

Grandin is a professor of animal sciences at Col-orado State University. She designed humane cat-tle-handling facilities and equipment used a great deal of cattle ranches in the United States.

The HB0 film, with Clare Danes as Temple Grandin, was a stunning success for all involved and help raise awareness on a complex subject.

It’s been really ex-citing - but increased her work, Grandin said of all the publicity after the film

was aired.A great deal of ad-

vancements have taken place to benefit the de-velopmentally disabled community since Villa Es-peranza Services opened the first independent day school in Pasadena in 1961 for children with Down syndrome.

Arcadia Senior Servic-es Division in partnership with Methodist Hospital is having Scott Herman, MD Cardiologist be the key-note speaker on Tuesday, February 22 at 1:30pm. The lecture will take place at the Arcadia Commu-nity Center, 365 Campus Drive. At this free health presentation Dr. Herman will talk about the risk fac-tors that can lead to heart attacks. Vascular disease includes any condition that affects the circulatory sys-tem. As the heart beats, it pumps blood through a system of blood vessels called the circulatory sys-tem. The vessels are elas-tic tubes that carry blood

away from the heart while the vein returns it.

Vascular disease in-cludes diseases of the ar-teries and veins and blood disorders that affect cir-culation. It is the leading cause of heart attack and strokes. Dr. Herman will talk about the risk factors, diagnosis and treatment options that are currently available.

If you would like to attend this free health presentation reservations are required. Please call Arcadia Senior Services 626.574.5130 before Feb-ruary 17 or for additional information. This is for in-dividuals 50 years of age and older.

Sierra Madre Public Library’s popular “arm-chair travelers” series will kick off on Friday, Feb-ruary 11, at 7:30 p.m., in Sierra Madre City Hall Chambers with, “Explor-ing West Africa: Mali, Burkina Faso and Benin,” presented by Gary and Kathy Symons. The Sy-mons explored exotic sites from Cotanou to Timbuk-tu, capturing on film the teeming markets, colorful tribal dances, and fascinat-ing social customs and re-ligious traditions of these three former slave nations.

Intrepid and seasoned travelers, the Symons

never present a superfi-cial, “tour-guide” view of the sites they visit. Their broad-minded respect of diverse cultures enables them to present a deeper behind-the-scenes glimpse into the day-to-day lives and customs of indigenous peoples.

Travelers & Collec-tors is held the second Friday of the month, Feb-ruary through May, at 7:30 p.m., in the Sierra Madre City Hall Council Chambers, 232 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. All pro-grams are free and open to the public. A schedule is available at the Library

Service Desk, and can also be found on the Library website, www.sierrama-dre.lib.ca.us. Travelers & Collectors is sponsored by the Friends of the Sierra Madre Library. For more information please call Catriona Shafer at (626) 355-7186.

Trainer tips

You know the recurring dream you have in the weeks leading up to an exam where you finally open the paper, read the first 20 questions and realize you have stud-ied the wrong subject? The same principle applies for the panic induced wake-up from the ‘wedding dress doesn’t fit on your wedding day’ night-mare. Every bride wants to look their best on their special day but with so many other things calling for her atten-tion, exercise is often put on the back burner. Here are some pointers to help brides stay on track through one of the most stressful months of a woman’s life.

Exercise is a great stress reliever

With all of the un-healthy choices for reliev-ing stress such as comfort food, excess alcohol and just pulling the covers over your head instead of facing your future mother in law, exercise improves your immune system, releases serotonin (the feel-good brain chemical) and burns fat. Treat the conclusion of each session as a small triumph: one more step to-wards your goals and one more step away from get-

ting sick from stress.Maximize your work-

outs by performing multi muscles exercises

It is no surprise that the ‘glamour muscles’ are the ones brides want to improve but you cannot spot train only certain areas. Shapely biceps and deltoids, a prominent collar bone and non-waving triceps are the order of the Day but to achieve these re-sults, we need to work the body as an entire fat burning, muscle building machine. Do not be afraid of building muscle as that is what creates tone and muscle burns fat when you sleep. Perform-

ing multi muscle exercises not only saves on time but pushes you into fat burning mode by blasting more calo-ries in less time. Do push-ups targeting the chest, triceps, shoulders and core instead of weighted triceps extensions and jump squats targeting the quads, glutes and hamstrings instead of the hamstring curl machine.

Set a realistic goals The size of your goal

should be proportionate to the time available and avoid disappointment by setting feasible goals. Realistic: you have a year before your big day and 50lbs to lose. Un-realistic: thinking you can just crash diet three weeks before the wedding to fine tune your figure. Realistic: you have 90 days and want to lose a couple of dress sizes and tone. Unrealistic: buying the non-returnable dress in a dress size you have never been before in your life.

Enlist help from profes-sionals and friends

You hire professionals for almost every aspect of your wedding: cake baker, photographer and florist so why not hire a professional for your body to maximize

results? You could include at least one month of personal training sessions in your wed-ding budget from the get-go and use them in the final month before the nuptials.

Enlist your bridal party in a boot camp or ask your maid of honor to split person-al training sessions with you. Most gyms offer discounts for partner training and group classes are inexpensive.

Try to think of exercise as a haven from matrimony madness rather than just an-other item to check off of your never ending to-do list.

Residents and Media Request Official Information from Fish and Game on Alteration Permit for Santa Anita Dam Riser Modification and Sediment Removal Project

has apparently asserted that DF&G never approved the destruction of the wood-land, had not granted the required Stream Alteration Permit for the project, and did not accept the 4.9 acre hillside parcel nor the seed-lings planted in Big Tujunga as sufficient mitigation for the loss of the woodland!

We are working on confirmation of this and the allegation that the Arcadia Highland Homeowner’s Assoc. recently wrote a let-ter thanking the DPW for doing its job to protect pub-lic safety by removing the woodland.

In addition to this news-paper group; Cam stone has also filed a request for public records addressed to California Dept of Fish and Game’s Kelly Schmoker:

“Please consider this email a formal Public Re-cords Request for all com-munications and docu-

ments in the possession of the California Department of Fish and Game relating to the LA County Depart-ment of Public Works’ Santa Anita Dam Riser Modification and Sediment Removal Project. Re-quested documents include emails, letters, reports and other documents specifi-cally relating to the above referenced project. Please include records of any communications with the LA County Department of Public Works and the LA County Board of Supervi-sors on this subject. -Cam Stone”

On Saturday morning, Monrovia Planning Com-missioner Glen Owens, Christle Balvin a concerned environmentalist and well as Cam Stone and many others were among the 100 plus people who gathered at Eaton Canyon’s Nature Center in an effort to get more information on how the destruction of 200 trees happened and how they

can possibly prevent any-thing like this from happen-ing again.

Also on hand was Julia Posin, a young anthropol-ogy student, who was one of four people arrested af-ter climbing in to the trees at Arcadia Oaks woodland last Jan 12. Posin said it was the first time she had not only sat in a tree to protest imminent destruction of said trees but also the very first time she was arrested. “It was horrible in there.” She said when she was re-leased from Temple Station along with two other tree “sitters” John Quigley and Andrea Bowers.

Posin described in viv-id detail the feat she felt not only for herself but for the animals that rely on trees for protection from preda-tors.

Posin received a stand-ing ovation from all in at-tendance for her bravery trying to save one of the last woodlands in Los Angeles County. Posin said she has

retained an attorney and those in attendance offered to help with her defense fund. There will be a web-site set up soon and we’ll publish that information as it becomes available.

Posin and the three other people arrested for sitting in the trees will be arraigned Thursday morn-ing at Alhambra Superior Court.

Different groups includ-ing Sierra Club, Audbon Society and several other grass root organizations got together as part of a strategy meeting Saturday, hoping to consolidate ideas and plan to help prevent any-thing like the destruction of the Arcadia Woodland ever happening again.

Glen Owens spoke powerfully about what hap-pened in January and how the Flood Control refused to address neighbors’ con-cerns regarding the project that garnered so much me-dia attention.

Let’s face it, the Su-per Bowl for many of us is about the commercials and the food. The game is ancillary.

So what are they go-ing to be eating in Green Bay and Pittsburgh? We investigated. With the as-sistance of several people

who have had the good sense to move from those frigid climates to sunny Southern California, but retained their allegiance to their home town teams and their food preferences, we offer the following:

In Green Bay, Packer fans will be packing in the cheese, and the brats. They are not neglecting the beer here. But they have found unique ways to combine them. The brat-wurst is often cooked in butter (another major Wis-consin commodity) and beer until they are served hot. Someone has come up with a Cheddar Cheese and Beer dip (sounds a lot like Welsh Rarebit to me) which is supposed to be served with pretzels. Salt-ed Peanuts in the Shell are

also big.Another Green Bay

favorite is cheese curds. If you have never had cheese curds, they are like little curdles of cheese in a squeaky form. They are of course served with beer. There is even a fa-mous line in a play lauding “Curds, Booya and Beer. And some people even deep fry the curds in (what else) a beer batter.

At Pittsburgh, Steel-ers’ fans will be steeling themselves for the big game with Iron City Beer, needless to say, a local mi-crobrew. Here too they are big brat fans, again cooked in beer. But based on the more diverse nature of the city, there are more choices.

Italian American fans

are strong proponents of Pizza and Spaghetti. And everyone loves giant Italian sandwiches cut into slices. One local restaurant even created a special sandwich in honor of a great Super Bowl Touchdown pass; they call it the Immaculate Reception.

There is another Pitts-burgh tradition: the tailgat-ing R.V. There are hun-dreds of them. They turn out for ev-ery home game and travel to a great many of the teams away games.

There is no need to state here the

team I will favor. I already have my cheese curds and am seriously consider-ing making my wonder-ful Welsh Rarebit. I even have a package of soft pretzel mix to make my own fresh, giant pretzels. But that doesn’t mean anything. But you have to love a team whose fans humiliate themselves by wearing giant foam blocks of cheese on their heads.

Superbowl Sunday Food for Thought....BY SUSAN MOTANDER

Here is one the famous Pittsburgh Steeler Tailgate R.V.s. This one was built by John Lucarelli who passed away, but the R.V. still goes to games, now riven by John’s brother Tony.


and promote tolerance? This group defines anti-bul-lying programs as “gay activ-ism in disguise” and accuses LGBTQ advocacy groups of wishing to promote political agendas.1 While 90% of LG-BTQ students experience either physical or verbal ha-rassment, Focus on the Fam-ily maintains the stance that intolerance for homosexual-ity will promote their “100% zero tolerance for bullying.”

Though Focus on the

Family may have been founded in Arcadia, I be-lieve that its views are not the best representation of the community’s views. Our schools teach and our community embraces diver-sity, but this group’s rheto-ric threatens people such as myself and others.

The Mayor’s breakfast always represents a “won-derful celebration of com-munity spirit, inspiration and friendship.” Wiping tears

away from her eyes Zhang cooncluded by saying... “In respect to the community, I ask that you reconsid-er your invitation to Mr. H.B. London to speak at the Mayor’s Breakfast.”

Another speak-er was a tear filled mother whose son is gay and has been bul-lyed and harrassed at Arcadia High school. Marsha Aizumi also sent an e-mail to Arca-dia Weekly and other media as well as to the mayor and council asking Amundson to reconsider.

Aizumi said her son faced “harassment and bullying” at Arcadia high as a re-sult of being

gay. She felt the matter very serious said she and her husband are deeply upset by Mayor Amundson’s choice and felt a more tolerant speaker would have made a better choice.

Rick Eisenlord, M. Div., Good Shepherd Church Pasadena – was an-other speaker who said he found it objectionable that the Mayor chose H.B. Lon-don to speak. Attempting to make a final point during his alloted time, the Mayor abruptly cut Eisenlord off at exactly 3 minutes.

When S Debra Evans concluded her remarks dur-ing public comment, Mayor Amundson asked Evans where she had heard of his support for an organiza-tion called NOM- National Organization for Marriage. Denying he knew anything of the organization, Evans pointed out that, in fact, Mayor Amundson has a link to that organization on his Facebook page. The

Mayor then uttered some-thing that was indecipher-able. A check on Face-book Wednesday morning confirmed that Amundson does, in fact, support the Na-tional Organization of Mar-riage or NOM which has strong conservative ideas of conventional marriage and does not support gay mar-riage.

No member of the pub-lic spoke in support for the Mayor’s choice during this council meeting

Mark Potok of the Southern Povery Law Cen-ter told Beacon Media that they have classified Focus on Family and NOM as “Hard Core Anti-Gay” groups.

The National Organiza-

tion for Marriage (NOM), which is dedicated to fight-ing same-sex marriage in state legislatures, was orga-nized in 2007 by conserva-tive syndicated columnist Maggie Gallagher and Princeton University politics professor Robert George. George is an influential Christian thinker who co-au-thored the 2009 “Manhattan Declaration,” a manifesto developed after a New York meeting of conservative church leaders that “prom-ises resistance to the point of civil disobedience against any legislation that might implicate their churches or charities in abortion, em-bryo-destructive research or same sex marriage.”

Speaking to media af-ter the meeting, S Debra Ev-ans said she beileves Mayor Amundson twice illegally in-terrupted two speakers (the agenda states quite clearly

that state law prohibits the

City Council from discuss-ing topics or issues unless

they appear on the posted Agenda). Ev-ans said the students and other speakers who were there to oppose Amund-son’s Focus on Family choice were extremely respect-ful and courteous and felt the Mayor

was not equally respectful. According to Evans, dur-ing the “Reports” portion of the meeting, the Mayor “lashed out against the brave speakers, insulting them and accusing them of “hate speech” and “intolerance”.” “Quite simply, Mayor Peter Amundson demonstrated last night that he is an em-barrasment -- both to himself

and to all of Arcadia.” Evans told Beacon Media.

Councilmen Robert Harbicht Gary Kovacic ad-vised the audience that the Mayor was free to choose whomever he wished to speak at the Community Breakfast, and that just be-cause Focus on the Family stands for a few things with which some people might disagree, that is not a reason to prevent Mr. London from speaking at a City-funded event.

In a recent statement sent to this newspaper, May-or Amundson said:

“The theme for my Mayor’s Breakfast is “Cel-ebrate Family.”

Arcadia is a Commu-nity of Homes, a community of families.

Focus on the Family was founded in Arcadia, by Dr.James Dobson.

I, like thousands of par-ents, found Dr. Dobson’s books like “Dare to Dis-ciple”, “The Strong Willed Child” and “Bringing up Boys” very helpful to raise my family.

Organizers opposed to Mayor Amundson’s choice are planning their own com-munity event on the after-noon of Sunday, February 27. They are also in the planning stages of protest on the morning of Friday, March 4 prior to the Com-munity Breakfast.

Arcadia PDFor the period of Sun-

day, January 23, through Saturday, January 29, the Police Department respond-ed to 909 calls for service of which 133 required formal investigations. The follow-ing is a summary report of the major incidents handled by the Department during this period.Sunday, January 23:

Units responded to the racetrack around 9:10 a.m. in reference to an attempted vehicle theft report. A la-borer saw a male Hispanic suspect in a coworker’s car and notified security. Race-track owned portable radios and a radio charger were found inside the vehicle, and investigation revealed that the suspect had broken into a utility shed and had taken the radios, money, car keys, and a GPS unit. An area search was con-ducted and racetrack secu-rity discovered the suspect hiding under a commercial trash bin. Stolen property was found on the suspect, along with a baggie of meth-amphetamine. The 23-year-old suspect was taken into custody for commercial burglary, attempted stolen vehicle, grand theft, vehicle theft, false identification to officers, and possession of a controlled substance. It was later determined that he was the same outstanding suspect who was involved in Saturday’s attempted theft of hay bales from the racetrack.

Around 9:52 p.m., of-ficers were dispatched to Huntington and Mayflower in Monrovia regarding a hit-and-run accident that oc-curred at Huntington and Santa Clara. The victim fol-lowed the suspect driver af-ter the accident, and he was finally stopped by Monro-via Police. An intoxicated 40-year-old male Hispanic was arrested for DUI, hit-and-run, unlicensed driver, and possession of cocaine.Monday, January 24:

Around 9:30 a.m., units were dispatched to Victo-ria’s Secret located at West-field Mall in reference to a theft that occurred on Janu-ary 23. Two female His-panics, in their 50’s, stole boxes of perfume totaling $719. One of the suspects returned later and attempt-ed to steal another $126 in perfume products. She was stopped by an employee, so she emptied her purse to re-

move the merchandise and then left the scene. The sus-pect was not detained for the theft.

Between 8:00 p.m. on January 23 and 9:00 a.m. on January 24, a commercial burglary occurred in the 1100 block of Michillinda. Unknown suspect(s) re-moved a lock to a construc-tion site and took a toolbox containing numerous tools and a bathtub heater.Tuesday, January 25:

Around 11:14 a.m., four juveniles were de-tained after they were seen behind a vacant house. Two male Hispanics, ages 14 and 15, and a female 14-year-old Caucasian were cited for daytime loitering and released a parent or school security. A 14-year-old male Asian was found in possession of baggies of marijuana labeled for sale. He was arrested for posses-sion of marijuana for sale, possession of tobacco, and daytime loitering.

Units were dispatched to Sanrio located at West-field Mall around 11:40 a.m. in reference to a fe-male suspect detained for using counterfeit bills. An 18-year-old female Vietnam-ese suspect presented two counterfeit $100 bills to pay for merchandise. When the employee noticed that the bills were fake, the suspect then tried to use a fraudu-lent credit card and fake driver’s license to make the purchase. The woman was arrested at the scene.Wednesday,January 26:

Shortly before 5:00 p.m., a victim came to the station to file a grand theft report that occurred in a parking structure located in the 600 block of Las Tunas. While the victim was on his cell phone, a male Hispanic suspect, 5’8”, heavy build, in his 30’s, grabbed the cell phone and fled on foot.

A traffic stop was con-ducted at Duarte and First around 11:57 p.m. when officers observed a driver swerving between lanes. A 28-year-old male Cauca-sian driver was taken into custody for DUI, and a 24-year-old female Hispanic passenger was arrested for disorderly conduct/drunk in public.Thursday, January 27:

Between 5:00 p.m. on January 26 and 6:30 a.m. on January 27, a commer-cial burglary occurred in

the 1300 block of Glen-coe. Unknown suspect(s) cut the lock to a fence that surrounded a residential construction site and stole various power tools.

Officers responded to the 1200 block of Oakglen around 12:58 p.m. regard-ing a grand theft that oc-curred between January 25 and January 27. The vic-tims received a call from a suspect claiming to be their grandson. The suspect stated that his friend was in a Mexico jail for pos-session of marijuana and wanted the victims to send bail money. The victims then received a call from a subject claiming to be a ser-geant from the San Diego Police Department, and he indicated that the victims needed to wire $17,765 to post bail. After sending the money via Western Union, they discovered that their grandson did not know about the incident.Friday, January 28:

Around 11:05 a.m., units were sent to the 200 block of Colorado re-garding a disturbance. A 22-year-old male A f r i c a n -A m e r -i c a n w a s c o n -t a c t e d and a r e c o r d check indicated that he had an $85,000 outstanding warrant for possession of a controlled substance.

struck the guard with the ve-hicle, causing the guard to fall to the ground. The sus-pects drove away from the scene and then abandoned the vehicle at the Oak Park-ing Structure. They were later apprehended and sto-len property from Vans and the Zumiez stores were re-covered. Private persons’ arrests were made, and a 20-year-old male African-American was taken into custody for assault with a deadly weapon, commer-cial burglary, and contrib-ute to the delinquency of a minor; a 16-year-old female Hispanic was arrested for commercial burglary and false identification to peace officer.

Around 1:43 p.m., loss prevention personnel from Macy’s detained a woman for theft.

property was recov-ered.
