In anticipation of the arrival of students yester-day August 31, administra-tors, teachers, facilities and clerical employees of the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) were readying campuses, atten-dance and data systems, and instructional materials for the first day of the new school year. An estimated 18,690 students headed to PUSD schools for the start of the 2011-2012 academic year this week.

“I am pleased to wel-come students, families and employees back to school, and look forward to working with them to

prepare our students for the 21st century,” said Su-perintendent Jon R. Gun-dry, who joined PUSD this summer. “In the year ahead, our focus will be on working together to raise student achievement con-sistently across the district.”

PUSD’s overall stu-dent achievement rose at the secondary level and held steady at the elemen-tary level, according to re-sults of the 2011 STAR test released by the California Department of Education earlier this month. Howev-er, growth was inconsistent

Pasadena officials have expressed great in-terest in allowing an NFL team to use the Rose Bowl as a temporary home until residents living around the famous Rose Bowl said “NO Way” in a big way.

The Linda Vista/An-nandale Association board last week unanimously vot-ed to oppose even a tem-porary home for an NFL team at the Rose Bowl.

According to the Homeowners’ association there are already too many events, too much traffic and overuse of the Rose Bowl .

On May 20, 2011 shortly after 8:00 p.m., Pas-adena Police Officers and Fire Fighters responded to a call of a one year old female child not breathing in the

100 block of west Del Mar Blvd. The Pasadena Fire Department attempt-ed to resuscitate the child without success. Police De-tectives and the Los Ange-les County

Coroner responded and classified the death as suspicious.

Pasadena Police De-tectives pursued leads and as a result identified the child’s father,

Marquise Jackson, 21 of Pasadena as the suspect responsible for the death of his one year old daughter.

Monrovia Mayor Lutz to Respond to Citizens’ Concerns Regarding Clarence Shaw’s ‘Vacant’ Seat on Council

In recent weeks, The Monrovia Weekly has re-ceived several phone calls and emails regarding the current status of only four members at-tending council meetings as a result of Councilman Shaw’s active duty deployment.

The Monrovia Weekly requested a copy of a letter from Dr. Jules Bagneris, III which is addressed to Mayor Lutz and council after a con-cerned individual raised some

District officials razed the former Maranatha High School and Sierra Madre middle school in the sum-mer of 2010, anticipating constructing a multi-build-ing campus to accommo-date the ever growing stu-dent population in Sierra Madre. However State cut-backs and politics have not exactly helped move things along depending upon who you talk to.

The main delay has al-legedly been the California State Board of Architec-tural Review which PUSD expects final approval this week. This in turn will allow PUSD to put the project out for bid and hopefully start construction realistically in Mid year 2012 according to

Stanford University stu-dents do the math that Rules Committee can’t seem to get right. Independent research proves State Assembly ma-nipulated budget numbers to show Assemblymember An-thony Portantino in bad light. According to the Stanford research, Portantino spends 37th on the list of spend-ers, not first as erroneously reported by the Assembly Rules Committee on Friday.

At a Monday morning press conference, Dakin Sloss from California Common Sense, a Stanford University non-profit, joined Assembly Member Anthony Portan-tino to expose the misleading budget figures released by the Assembly Rules Commit-tee late Friday evening.

“Friday’s action makes it clear that Assembly lead-ers continue to mislead the public on how the Assembly

spends taxpayer money. The figures released by Assembly leaders make it impossible to determine what lawmaker’s real budgets are and what lawmakers are spending. It’s a very sad day in the Capi-tol when the public is treated with this kind of disrespect,” commented Assembly Mem-ber Portantino.

In a startling revelation, the Stanford Research team presented a very compelling case that the reworked num-bers falsely portray who’s spending what in the State Assembly. The research-ers worked from Assembly payroll data which proves that staff members and con-sequently budgets received wholesale changes in order to artificially manipulate spending patterns. Some Assembly member budgets were manipulated to be low-er than actual payroll data

shows.The Stanford students

completed their analysis with the following statement:

“One thing is clear: the Rules Committee has pre-sented expenditure data in a way, which is inconsistent with the payroll data already available,” said CA Com-mon Sense member Dakin Sloss. “The various discrep-ancies mentioned before, in

conjunction with the fact that Assembly Member Portan-tino’s personal staff salaries are now presented as larger than those of other members, raises suspicions that the ex-penditure data may have been released less for trans-parency’s sake and more as a vendetta against the seeker of transparency.”

as some schools registered gains, others held steady, and some lost ground. Dis-trict and school officials are now examining closely the factors that led to a de-cline in test scores as well as those that contributed to an increase in achieve-ment.

The effects of sus-tained budget cuts to pub-lic schools will be more ev-

ident this year, as another $6.69 million reduction is implemented. Some ex-amples:

For the second consec-utive year, PUSD’s school year is shortened by two days

An emotion filled meet-ing was held Thursday at Pasadena Fire Station 33 in re-sponse to the slaying of Marvin Laguan, 18 who was killed on Mar Vista Avenue Monday led to a standing room only crowd in a tiny sweltering com-munity room of the firehouse.

The meeting which was filled to capacity and spilled out into the hall was hosted by Pasadena District 5 City Coun-cilman Victor Gordo. Police Chief Philip Sanchez, firefight-ers and other officers were on hand to aswer the many ques-tions audience members had.

“The gentleman( Lan-guan) had gang associations, but we are not saying this was gang related,” Lt. Tracy Ibarra told the audience. .

Laguan was allegedly shot in the neck and died at Hun-tington Hospital.

Gordo said “This is sim-ply not acceptable that this happens in our community to anybody.”

Despite the recent shoot-ing Pasadena police Lt. Rod-ney Wallace called the neigh-borhood a relatively “quiet area.”

Pasadena police Chief Phillip Sanchez asked the 75 people to help the dept. appre-hend the individuals respon-sible for this crime.

“There may have been some people who have seen some activity, they have not come forward,” he said. As of press time no one has been booked for the murder.

One Spirit Many Paths

As I sat today sweating and trying to think of some-thing to write for Dorothy’s Place, I thought of my old friend Pansy and how she used to say, “Lawdie, ain’t it hot today?” That set me to reminiscing about the Dog Days of my childhood on the farm.

Dog Days were those extremely hot, sultry days that occurred during July and August. Days that sapped your energy and required special effort just to be.

I remember one such day. I was in my favorite

summer play spot, under a huge spreading tree at the edge of the yard. The tree provided hours of lovely cool shade on hot days as I played with my dolls, old tin cups and treasured pieces of broken dishes. It was too hot to serve tea this day--much better relaxing in the swing, kicking little clouds of dust as I pushed at the ground with my bare feet.

The summer air was hot and heavy. The still-ness was broken only by the buzzing of insects, the occasional bawling of a cow and the rrut-a-tut, rrut-a-tut of the rope swing pass-ing back and forth, back and forth across the tree branch. I kept the swing moving slowly--just enough to stir the air around my body.

Because of the scorch-ing Dog Day heat, Daddy had come in early from the

fields and was by the barn cooling down the horses. Suddenly he dropped his bucket and started toward me, moving in a quick but quiet kind of way. He mo-tioned for me to stay put. I knew from the look on his face and the way he was moving that I must do as he said. I froze.

Carefully, but quickly, he grabbed me and pulled me from the swing. Then, just as carefully and quick-ly, he grabbed a black snake that was winding its way from the branch down around the rope. He caught it just behind the head, yanked it from the rope and snapped it in the air. When he held it up afterwards, it was lon-ger than he was tall!

I did not play house or swing again for several days

Free Event! Brasil Brazil on September in South Pasadena

A free “Back to School Labor Day Concert Cel-ebration,” featuring the dy-namic Latin jazz rhythms of Brasil Brazil, will be presented by the South Pasadena Arts Council (SPARC) in partnership with the South Pasadena Public Library on Thurs-day, September 1, 6:30-8:30 p.m., on the El Centro Street side of the library grounds near Diamond Avenue, adjacent to Farm-ers’ Market.

Brasil Brazil, the criti-cally acclaimed Brazilian vocal duo of Ana Gazzola and Sonia Santos, will per-form popular Brazilian mu-sic in a variety of styles with an uplifting Carnaval beat. “Gazzola and Santos have developed a musical for-

mula based on a slick, well crafted display of move-ment and music,” wrote jazz expert Don Hackman in the Los Angeles Times, with a “vocal togetherness’ that is ‘as brightly colored as their outfits.”

So bring a chair or a blanket, grab some food at the Farmer’s Market and come enjoy the Latin sounds of Brasil Brazil.

The concert is sup-ported in part by the South Pasadena Public Library, The South Pasadena Arts Council, the South Pasade-na Chamber of Commerce and Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. An-tonovich. (The non-profit Pasadena Arts Council serves as SPARC’s fiscal sponsor.)

Last Thursday, August 25, members from the lo-cal Arcadia Red Cross Chapter helped to prepare emergency kits for each classroom on Arcadia High

School’s campus. Total-ing about 80 bags to fill, diligent members wasted no time to check supplies at their assigned stations. With about 4-7 items to put in at each station, the members were truly hard at work. Each bag was filled with numerous items, including bandages, cold packs, band aids, flash-

lights, playing cards, water, and more. Making sure to check each bag thorough-ly, the 5 hours spent at Arcadia High helping As-sistant Principal Mr. John Finn was all worth it, as we not only gained safety for our classrooms, but also a deeper appreciation for emergency preparedness.

Foothill Extension Bridge Over 210 Work Continues

Equipment is being mobilized this week for the upcoming foundation work on the I-210 Bridge. A large drill rig and crane have been trucked in and are being assembled on the south side of the east-bound I-210 Freeway. This is the location of the first of three 110 foot deep, 11

foot in diameter founda-tions to be drilled over the next four weeks. The other two are located in the center median of the freeway. Each foundation will take approximately six days to drill and cast. We anticipate drilling the first foundation next week, fol-lowed by the installation of

the reinforcing steel cage, concrete placement and testing the following week. This schedule is dependent on receiving final approval from Caltrans this week. During these activities, par-tial and full eastbound lane closures are planned (full closures occur late at night to minimize traffic delays).

Either way, the Assem-bly Rules Committee has failed to fulfill its obligation to reliably disclose information about how the Assembly spends our taxpayer money and should do so promptly and accurately.”

“The conclusions of the Stanford students are particularly alarming for me personally and for the State of California,” added Portan-tino. “The Stanford research-es have spent the weekend cross-referencing the mis-

leading numbers released by the Rules Committee and the data available on the As-sembly’s own web page and their conclusions are startling. They have completely ex-posed the clumsy attempt to falsely portray me in a bad light and exposed petty poli-tics at its worst. The actions of the Assembly leaders not only undermine the public’s trust, they raise serious consti-tutional questions.”

“I am asking the legisla-ture to join me in requesting a

complete and thorough audit of the State Assembly’s bud-get and expenditures. I am calling on both houses of the Legislature to immediately adopt AB 1129 to make the State Legislature compliant with the same public records disclosure that every other state agency does in our great state. The games must end and the public must have ac-cess to accurate and compre-hensive information.”

Suspect Jackson was booked on murder and remains in custody on $1,000.000 bail.

Detectives Arrest Father For Child's Death

The San Gabriel Val-ley Music Theatre and their Award Winning Creative Team which brought last year’s smash hit Miss Saigon to the San Gabriel Valley are mounting one of the most beloved musicals of all time, Rodgers and Hammersteins’ Flower Drum Song, over the weekend of October 1 and 2, 2011. Taking place at the His-toric 1,400 seat San Gabriel Mission Playhouse, this opu-lent production is directed by Ray A. Rochelle, and will fea-ture a stellar cast of perform-ers accompanied by a live twenty-piece lavish orchestra conducted by Maestro Rich-ard Allen.

Producer Bobby Hund-ley says, “Flower Drum Song remains one of the most popular musicals of all time not only because of the fantastic score and terrific characters but it was such a progressive work for its day. In a fitting tribute, SGVMT will be honoring Hollywood Screen Legend Nancy Kwan at a dinner and performance in her honor for paving the way for Asian artists into the mainstream Hollywood and Broadway limelight. We’re honored to be associated

with Ms. Kwan and have the chance to bring this beautiful and funny masterpiece to our community.”

Nancy Kwan was the original Linda Low in the film version of Flower Drum Song and recently released a powerful, feature documen-tary about her life entitled: Ka Shen’s Journey. SGVMT will be hosting a VIP dinner

and performance package; hosted by restaurant Mis-sion 261 in conjunction with the October 1 and 2 Flower Drum Song performances.

Flower Drum Song fea-tures such hits as “I Enjoy Being A Girl” “A Hundred Million Miracles” “Grant Avenue” and “Love Look Away” while telling the tale of Mei-Li, who flees Mao’s

communist China after the murder of her father and finds herself in San Francis-co’s Chinatown. This naïve young refugee is befriended by Wang, who is struggling to keep the Chinese opera tradi-tion alive despite his son’s determination to turn the old opera house into a swingin’ Western-style nightclub. A unique blending of American razz-ma-tazz and stylized Chi-nese opera traditions creates a beautifully theatrical tap-estry. The wonderful score, by turns lushly romantic and showbiz-brassy, retains all of its luster in this lovely new version of an American classic. Mei-Li’s gradual as-similation is informed by her realization that the old and new can coexist when there is respect for both.

For more information re-garding tickets to this fantas-tic Broadway musical or our special Gala Dinner, please call 626-282-1440 or visit us online at: www.sgvmusicthe-atre.org. Tickets start as low as $20. This production is generously sponsored by the Hilton San Gabriel and Wells Fargo.

The annual showcase and expo is an inexpensive way for businesses to promote their products and services to the Pasadena community. The showcase is also a great business-to-business network-ing event. The Foothill Work-force Investment Board is a major sponsor of the event.

The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce Business Show-case, and Mini-Taste of Pasa-

Shooting Investigation

Had A Bear Scare Recently? Learn the Facts.

A paddock guard at Santa Anita for a half-cen-tury, John Shear gained na-tional accolades for his self-less bravery early this year when, at age 90, he saved a young girl from serious injury while doing his job.

Shear will be the fea-tured subject on the next installment of HRTV’s award-winning “Inside In-formation” documentary series, set for Sunday, Sept. 4 at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT.

The show will pro-vide a retrospective look at his unforgettable act in shielding the young girl from a loose horse in the Santa Anita paddock in March, as well as a deeper look at the determined, hard-working English-born gentleman who grew up to love horses, and how they have brought him face-to-face with some of the most

famous, and infamous, people in history.

The show will include never-before-seen footage of the fateful March after-noon when Shear risked his own life, and suffered critical injuries that kept him in the hospital for more than a month. In addition, it will include a candid conversation with the affable, understated Shear, about his life, diffi-cult in his younger years, and the many people he’s met along the way.

Shear is an institution at the renowned Southern California track, and in-terviews with John’s son, Mike, his wife Diane, and Santa Anita officials pro-vide a testament to his love for Santa Anita, and his resolute determination to man his usual paddock post for the track’s Winter/Spring meeting on Dec. 26

additional questions in the hopes of getting some clarififi-cation from officials about the ‘vacant’ council seat caused by Clarene Shaw’s military deployment. Mayor Lutz will address the letter Tuesday evening at City Council.

“TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

415 South Ivy Avenue, Monrovia, California 91016

FR: Dr. Jules S. Bagneris, III.

Re: The City Council Seat Vacancy

I hereby request that an item be placed on the agenda for the September 6, 2011 Monrovia City Council meet-ing to determine whether the City Council seat held vacant since July 6, 2011 is to be filled by an appointment or special election as referenced by state law.

I believe a decision of this magni-tude requires those with d e c i s i o n -m a k i n g authority to allow the electorate as well as all stakeholders in the com-munity to be invited to share their views at a public meet-ing. The City Council has not taken official action regarding this matter at a public meet-ing.

Thank you in advance for your speedy reply to this request.

FR: Dr. Jules S. Bagneris, III.

cc: City Manager, City Clerk, City Treasurer

Responsible journalism requires that we double check facts alleged in any letters we receive. The above letter has some omissions and possible errors in facts as stated accord-ing to our research.

First, the writer has con-tacted at least one member of the City Council seeking to be “appointed” to Clar-ence Shaw’s “vacant” seat. Clarence Shaw’s seat is not ‘vacant.’ At his request it is being held for him until he completes his active duty ser-vice with the United States Army.

Clarence Shaw’s seat is not vacant according to City Manager Scott Ochoa; it is being ‘held’ for him. Ochoa said, “This is Clarence Shaw’s request. It is his seat.”

The Reverent Bagneris

wrote that the City Council was in “violation of state law” by not appointed someone or holding a special election to fill the ‘Vacant’ seat. In fact, the city would be in violation of Section 395.8 of the Military and Veterans Code of the State of California, if it made such an appointment.

395.8. states “Any officer, elective or otherwise, who leaves or shall have left the service of any city in order to enter upon active service with the armed forces of the Unit-ed States shall be reinstated and restored to his office upon his discharge or release from such active service with the armed forces; provided, such discharge or release is prior to the expiration of the term for

which he has been elected or appointed.

The rights created by this section shall have no applica-tion to any officer who shall have been dishonorably dis-charged or released from such armed forces, or shall have been so mentally or physically disabled as to be incapable of performing the duties of his office or shall fail to present himself to the legislative body or other appointing authority of such city ready and willing to assume the duties of his of-fice, within six months from the time of his discharge or re-lease from active service with the armed forces.

The office from which such officer absents himself to enter upon active service with the armed forces shall not be considered to be vacant but the legislative body or other appointing authority, as the case may be, may appoint an officer to temporarily replace any such officer so absenting himself to enter upon active service with the armed forces. Such temporary officers shall have all of the powers and duties of the office to which he may be temporarily ap-pointed and shall hold said of-fice until the expiration of the term thereof or until the offi-cer returns from service with

the armed forces, whichever event first occurs.”

The important and ap-plicable words are that the office “shall not be considered vacant” and “may appoint.” According to Ochoa, it was Shaw’s request that his office not be considered vacant and in respect of that request and his service to this community and the country, the seat is be-ing held open for him.

When considered va-cant, the office of an elected official must be filled by an appointment or the holding of a special election to fill the vacancy. According the City Attorney Craig Steele, “This office is not vacant.” He went on to explain that to be consid-ered ‘vacant’ the office holder

must have resigned, or be considered incapacitated (that incapac-ity can be up to and includ-ing death). “ I gave and entire brief to the council be-fore the coun-cil meeting at which Shaw announced his activation,”

Steele said. Shaw was in at-tendance when the Mayor publicly accepted his an-nouncement and said that his seat would be held for him.

Ochoa also pointed out that with current technology and considering that Shaw is still within the boundaries of the United States, he can reach other members of the City Council and his constitu-ents can reach him. Ochoa said that should the need arise, the city planned to investigate technological means of hold-ing a meeting with Shaw in his current location. “I don’t anticipate the need for such a meeting, but we can work it out if necessary.”

All e-mails received by the City Council and weekly reports of the City Manager are sent to Shaw. He also has the ability to retrieve those messages immediately and, when his commitments to his military duty allow, to check with City Hall for phone mes-sages left for him. “It is not as if we cannot reach him,” said Ochoa.

The number for Monro-via City Hall is (626) 932-5550. Callers who wish to reach Shaw need to ask for his voice mail. The simplier method it

Carell Movie More Sweet Than Cynical (Crazy, Stupid, Love)MOVIE REVIEW BY MICHAEL J. GONZALEZ

Steve Carell cer-tainly didn’t need my $11.50 this past weekend. His latest film, Crazy, Stupid, Love has grossed almost seventy-million dollars in five weeks at the box office, a respect-able figure, considering its modest production budget.

I had been avoiding this film because romantic comedies in general don’t usually ap-peal to me. Movies like The Break-up, Sideways, or Gar-den State that are considered dramatic comedies don’t come around too often. But, while Love still treads the

more fluffier path in dealing with its subject matter, its central characters and plot are interesting enough to keep you entertained. The movie revolves around Carl (Steve Carell), a middle-aged, suburban husband whose wife (Julianne Moore) asks

for a divorce after cheating on him with an office co-worker (Kevin Bacon). After Carl moves out of the family home, he begins to soak his sorrows at a local bar, telling anyone who will listen about his woes, until he meets Ja-cob (Ryan Gosling). Jacob is

everything Carl is not: rich, good-looking, well-dressed, and confident. Upon learn-ing about Carl’s troubles one night, Jacob decides to take Carl under his wing, teaching him how to walk, talk, and dress like a ladies man. What the two men don’t realize,

however, is how much alike they actually are, as Jacob be-gins to question his woman-izing lifestyle when he meets Hannah (Emma Stone), and Carl realizes that he must fight for the ones he loves after rediscovering his man-hood.

All the facts and figures are available on the state website: www.appps.dgs.ca.gov/tracker.

It seems clear to even the novice reader of such complex documents that the $3,100,000.00 applica-tion # 113588 was approved on 6/21/2011 and yet the state says it is now up to the architect and PUSD to go forward with the bidding process for the construction phase.

The whole process of state cutbacks and state au-thorizations has been “ Frus-trating” according to Hon-owitz who spoke with Sierra Madre Weekly on Monday. Honowitz is Vice president of the PUSD School Board who oversees Sierra Madre

Schools. While PUSD School of-

ficials have publicly blamed the state’s Division of the State Architect, which ap-proves all public school con-struction the problem also appears to be with paper-work to and from the state from the Architects hired by PUSD.

According to PUSD “The demolition of the exist-ing campus is moving swiftly and cleanly. Almost 100% of the wood coming from the roofs and supports of the ex-isting building is being sent to be recycled. We have only done a small amount of asphalt and concrete de-molition to this point how-ever the plan is to recycle as much of that as we can (to CMB) also.

We have received back-check comments and notes

from the Division of the State Architect for the

Upper campus drawing set. Working with the Archi-tect, it is our goal to submit plans to DSA for the Lower campus this Friday, August 20th. Turnaround time for DSA right now is approxi-mately four months. We are what is considered a “shovel ready” project, which means we are ready to go to bid as soon as approved and stamped plans are in place. This should afford us some level of priority in review.”

Sierra Madre Weekly repeatedly tried to contact the Architect for the Up-per Campus Project but our calls were not returned from Pasadena Unified’s ar-chitect for the project, Fred Wesley of Pasadena-based PBWS Architects.

Born in New York to a famed family of Yiddish-language actors, the late Pesach Burstein and Lillian Lux, Burstyn first walked on stage at the age of three. He has enjoyed a unique inter-national career entertaining audiences on stage, screen and television, in night-clubs and on concert stages throughout the world. The documentary, The Kome-diant, about Burstyn and his family, won the Israeli “Oscar.”

In February and March 2011, Burstyn, who co-wrote and created his new musical, JOLSON AT THE WINTER GARDEN, debuted it at the Maltz Jupi-ter Theatre in Jupiter, FL to critical acclaim. He recent-ly appeared Off-Broadway and in Los Angeles as May-er Lansky in Lansky, which garnered him his second New York Outer Critics Circle Award nomination. He received his second New York Drama Desk Award nomination and rave reviews for his Off- Broadway performance in On Second Avenue.

He recently completed a sold-out concert tour of

Israel celebrating his 50th Anniversary in Show Busi-ness, and he co-starred with Valerie Harper in the Na-tional Tour of The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife. He won his New York Drama Desk Award nomination for his portrayal of Mayer Rothschild in the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway Revival of The Rothschilds.

Burstyn starred on Broadway as P.T. Barnum in the Tony Award winning musical, Barnum (a role he recreated in the Dutch language production in The Netherlands). Other Broadway credits include: The Megilla, Ain’t Broad-way Grand and Inquest, in which he was hissed and booed eight times a week as Roy Cohn.

Off-Broadway he has appeared as host-narrator for the 92nd Street Y’s “Lyrics & Lyricists” series, he inaugurated New York City Center’s popular En-cores series in Fiorello, and he starred in The Fishkin Touch, in Murray Schis-gal’s Circus Life and in the revival of Neil Simon’s The Prisoner of Second Av-enue.

He has appeared as Tevye in Fiddler On The Roof at Salt Lake City’s Pioneer Theatre and at

Jolson at the Winter Garden


to send messages via e-mail sent to the City of Monrovia, Attn: Clarence Shaw.

Bagneris also made the statement to members of City Staff and at least one member of the City Council that by leaving Shaw’s seat “vacant” his “constituents” were not be-ing represented. “There are no specific district seats for which a candidate runs and is elected. Our Council is elect-ed by the entire population of the city. No member of the council represents a specific portion or section of the city,” Ochoa said. “Every Council

Member is elected by and represents the entire commu-nity,” he concluded.

We asked Dr. Bagneris, who is a doctor of philoso-phy in pastoral ministry, if he would run for Mr. Shaw’s seat should it come available/ He told us “I do not expect that an election will be neces-sary. I do expect the council to make an interim appoint-ment with the advice and con-sent of Councilman Clarence Shaw.”

Bagneris cited Govern-ment Code 36512 regarding city council seats, although

the Brown Act also prohibits discussion or decisions if not posted on the agenda.

For your perusal, we submit government code: 36512 for you:

“ (a) If a vacancy occurs in an appointive office pro-vided for

in this chapter, the coun-cil shall fill the vacancy by ap-pointment.

A person appointed to fill a vacancy holds office for the unexpired

term of the former in-cumbent.

(b) If a vacancy occurs in

an elective office provided for in this

chapter, the council shall, within 60 days from the com-mencement of

the vacancy, either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special

election to fill the vacan-cy. The special election shall be held on

the next regularly estab-lished election date not less than 114 days

from the call of the spe-cial election. A person ap-pointed or elected

to fill a vacancy holds of-fice for the unexpired term of the former

incumbent.(c) Notwithstanding

subdivision (b) and Section 34902, a city may

enact an ordinance that does any of the following:

(1) Requires that a spe-cial election be called imme-diately to fill

every city council va-cancy and the office of mayor designated

pursuant to Section 34902. The ordinance shall provide that the

special election shall be held on the next regularly es-tablished

election date not less than

114 days from the call of the special

election.(2) Requires that a special

election be held to fill a citycouncil vacancy and the

office of mayor designated pursuant to

Section 34902 when peti-tions bearing a specified num-ber of verified

signatures are filed. The ordinance shall provide that the special

election shall be held on the next regularly established election

date not less than 114 days from the filing of the peti-tion. A

governing body that has enacted such an ordinance may also call a

special election pursu-ant to subdivision (b) without waiting for the

filing of a petition.(3) Provides that a person

appointed to fill a vacancy on the city

council holds office only until the date of a special elec-tion which

shall immediately be called to fill the remainder of the term. The

special election may be held on the date of the next regularly

established election or regularly scheduled munici-pal election to be

held throughout the city not less than 114 days from the call of the

special election.(d) (1) Notwithstanding

subdivision (b) and Section 34902, an

appointment shall not be made to fill a vacancy on a city council if

the appointment would result in a majority of the members serving on

the council having been appointed. The vacancy shall be filled in the

manner provided by this subdivision.

(2) The city council may call an election to fill the va-cancy, to

be held on the next regu-larly established election date not less than

114 days after the call.(3) If the city council does

not call an election pursuant toparagraph (2), the vacan-

cy shall be filled at the next regularly

established election date.”

Mayor Lutz will address the issue Tuesday September 6 at the regularly scheduled council meeting.

the Westchester Broadway Theatre; as Nathan Detroit in Guys & Dolls with Vic Damone; in 1040, a new musical by Jerry Bock (Fid-dler On The Roof) and Jer-ry Sterner (Other People’s Money) at the University of Houston; as Kurt Weill in Berlin To Broadway at the Coconut Grove Playhouse (Carbonell Award nomina-tion); in Hatikva, his tribute to Israel’s 50th Anniversa-ry and in the National Tour of the Broadway musical, Those Were The Days.

In his heyday, Ameri-can singer, comedian and actor Al Jolson, was dubbed as “The World’s Greatest Entertainer.” Dur-ing his lifetime from May 26, 1886 – October 23, 1950, he had lived in vari-ous areas throughout the Southland, and had homes in Toluca Lake, Encino, Beverly Hills and spent a short stint in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. He also served as Mayor of Encino at one time.

Jolson was born in the Russian Empire, now part of Lithuania. He emi-grated to America with his Jewish parents at the age of five. He popularized a good many songs and was known for his brash and extroverted performing style. During the 1930s

he was America’s highest paid and most famous en-tertainer.

Between the years of 1911 – 1928, Jolson per-formed in nine sold-out Winter Garden shows in New York in a row on Broadway. During the course of his career, he made more than 80 hit re-cords and embarked on 16 national and international tours. He is perhaps best remembered as the star of the first full-length talking movie, The Jazz Singer, which was made in 1927.

In the 1930s he ap-peared in a number of suc-cessful musical films. In 1946, actor Larry Parks por-trayed Al Jolson with songs dubbed in with Jolson’s real voice in the Academy Awardâ winning film, The Jolson Story. A sequel to that film, Jolson Sings Again, made its debut in 1949, garnering three Acad-emy Awardâ nominations.

Al Jolson became the first star to entertain troops oversees during World War II, as well as in 1950 when he became the first star to perform for service-men in Korea, logging in 42 shows in 16 days. He died only weeks after re-turning to the United States while playing cards in his suite at the St. Francis Ho-

tel in San Francisco, where he collapsed and died of a massive heart attack at the age of 64. His last words were: “Boys, I’m going.” He is interred at Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery in Culver City, CA, where his widow commissioned architect Paul Williams to create a six-pillar marble structure mausoleum, next to a bronze statue of Jolson, resting on one knee, with arms outstretched, as if he were ready to break into another verse of his signa-ture song, My Mammy.

The following is a summary report of the major incidents handled by the Department during this period.Sunday, August 21:At about 1:30 p.m., officers re-sponded to the area of El Monte Avenue and Woodruff Avenue regarding a vandalism report. Suspect(s) spray painted multiple locations, including a utility box and several walls in the area with black spray paint.Shortly before 10:30 p.m., officers observed a suspicious Chevrolet Suburban with an attached trailer leaving the parking lot of Home-town Rentals, 102 West Las Tunas Drive. A check of the business revealed an open and unsecured gate. The vehicle and its three occupants, including a 33-year-old Hispanic female, a 37-year-old Hispanic male, and a 16-year-old Hispanic male were detained, and a record check of the suspects re-vealed an outstanding warrant for one of the passengers. The trailer also contained a large, gas-driven trenching machine, which had been stolen from the premises. Ar-rests were made for commercial burglary, grand theft, and the out-standing warrant.Monday, August 22:At approximately 3:00 p.m., a grand theft occurred at the West-field Santa Anita Mall, 400 South Baldwin Avenue. While the vic-tims were shopping, their grey, black and red Quasar Mountain bicycle and blue Cannondale F-4 Mountain bicycle were stolen from the parking lot. Shortly before 6:00 p.m., loss pre-vention personnel from Macy’s at the Westfield Santa Anita Mall, 400 South Baldwin Avenue, detained two females for theft. The suspects removed shoes from their boxes to make fraudulent returns and concealed additional merchandise underneath their clothing. Both females of unknown race, ages 54 and 38, were arrested for commer-cial burglary. Officers determined the suspects entered the store with the intent to steal. Tuesday, August 23:At about 11:11 p.m., officers re-sponded to the area of Santa Anita Avenue and Morlan Place regard-ing an attempted robbery. The suspect was described as a Black male, with grey dread locks, wear-ing a painter’s outfit, and armed with a knife and hammer. A sub-ject that matched the description was located and detained. An in-vestigation revealed the reporting party and suspect, who were both transients, had a disagreement over a place to sleep. The report-ing party, a 38-year-old Black male, was arrested for falsely reporting an emergency.

At approximately 6:25 p.m., loss prevention personnel from Sepho-ra at the Westfield Santa Anita Mall, 400 South Baldwin Avenue, detained a female for theft. The suspect took merchandise, con-cealed it in a red bag, and walked out of the store without paying. Merchandise from four additional stores was also located in the bag. The 39-year-old Hispanic female was arrested for commercial bur-glary.Wednesday, August 24:At about 6:23 p.m., units were dispatched to the Arcadia Retire-ment Hotel, 753 W. Duarte Road, regarding a suicidal adult male. It was determined the 66-year-old male of unknown race was suf-fering from depression and was a danger to himself. He was trans-ported to a local area hospital for psychiatric evaluation and treat-ment.Between 9:15 p.m. and 11:28 p.m., an auto theft occurred in the 100 block of North First Avenue. Suspect(s) stole a green, 2000 Dodge Durango SUV from the parking lot of the location. Thursday, August 25:Shortly before 6:00 a.m., officers responded to the 1100 block of Volante Drive regarding a suspi-cious circumstance. The reporting party had heard a loud “bang” and thought someone had entered his home. An area check revealed several unlocked vehicles had been entered into and ransacked, however no loss was reported. At about 3:19 p.m., units were dis-patched to the Tierra Verde Park located at Camino Real Avenue and Second Avenue, regarding a suspicious Black male subject who was seen climbing trees. Officers located and detained the suspect. The 26-year-old Black male was placed under arrest for being un-der the influence of a controlled substance and possession of para-phernalia.Friday, August 26:Shortly after 2:00 p.m. in the 1200 block of Short Street, a resident ob-served a heavy-set adult male in a brown, possibly a Dodge Caravan, stop in front of the mail boxes near her home. A female subject ex-ited the vehicle and opened each mail box. A short time later, the resident observed the same vehicle stop in front of her residence, at which time the female subject ex-ited the vehicle and removed the mail from her mail box, and the neighbor’s mail box. Around 1:10 p.m., officers re-sponded to the Westfield Santa Anita Mall, 400 South Baldwin Avenue, regarding a commercial burglary at Victoria’s Secret. The loss prevention manager noticed a significant quantity of bras miss-ing from the display table. After verifying the merchandise had not been sold, he viewed the store’s surveillance video which revealed two suspects quickly concealing

bras inside a plastic bag. Both sus-pects exited the store with a total of 61 bras. Saturday, August 27:Officers responded to the area of westbound Huntington Drive and Sunset Boulevard around 6:16 a.m. regarding a solo vehicle hit and run traffic collision. Officers observed a male subject running in and out of traffic lanes in the area of Huntington Drive and Old Ranch Road. Officers followed the subject on foot and detained him after he slipped and fell in the center median. The 27 year-old Asian male was arrested for driv-ing under the influence of alcohol and hit and run. He was cited and released for both violations.At about 9:30 p.m., units were dis-patched to the Westfield Santa Anita Mall, 400 South Bald-win, re-garding a sexu-al bat-tery re-

port t h a t had just occurred in the Macy’s parking lot. While the victim was entering her vehicle, an adult Hispanic male grabbed her buttocks and proceeded to run south through the parking lot to-wards Huntington Drive. Officers quickly located and detained the suspect, whom the victim positive-ly identified. Meanwhile, officers responded to the mall regarding a second battery report, possibly committed by the detained sus-pect. The second victim advised that at approximately 9:30 p.m., she was placing items into her car trunk in the Macy’s parking lot, when she felt an unknown subject approach her from behind and grab her around the waist. The subject grabbed and squeezed her buttocks while making a deroga-tory statement, and fled on foot through the parking lot. This vic-tim was unable to make a positive identification. A private person’s arrest was made, and the 45-year-old Hispanic male was taken into custody for sexual battery.
