On February 12, 2012, at 10:00 p.m., Pasadena Police responded to a resi-dence in the 100 block of W. Del Mar Blvd., after receiving a call of a sus-pected domestic violence battery.

The investigation re-vealed sufficient probable cause to warrant the ar-rest of Marston Hefner for domestic violence bat-tery on his 22 year live-in girlfriend. The victim sus-tained minor injuries. The victim was issued an Emer-gency Restraining Order.

Despite the fact that the Gold Line Construc-tion Authority (GLCA) has reached an agreement with George Brokate and his wife Diana over the sale of their property to the Au-thority, the way is still not completely clear for the building of the Gold Line Maintenance Yard in Mon-rovia.

The City of Monrovia in its own right holds title to part of the land needed. In addition, the now defunct Monrovia Redevelopment Agency (MRA) also owned part of the land needed. The City has appointed it-self the Successor Agency to the MRA and as such should be able to negoti-ate for the sale of that land. However, there are obsta-cles to closing the deal.

According to Monro-via Mayor Mary Ann Lutz, prior to the State Legisla-ture forcing the turn over of

At a mere 95 years Lucille Petrizzi organized a party for her husband Frank who just turned one hundred years young two weeks ago. The party ,

held at The American Le-gion Hall Post 287 in Arca-dia was a marvelous suc-cess.

About 40 family mem-bers and friends came to-gether for a very special afternoon honoring the man

of Italian descent who was born in 1912 and fell in love when Lucille when she was only 15 in Chicago. They knew they were meant for each other. It still shows.

Lucille keeps herself young and agile and plays

Irwindale Speedway a Victim of Recession – Racetrack Shuts Down

for 2012 SeasonVarious media sources

are reporting the closure of Toyota Speedway, the mo-torsports complex known as Irwindale Speedway in 1999. When we contacted spokes-man Doug Stokes, he said this is a “ bump in the road”.

Irwindale Speedway sent the following announce-ment to our offices at 1:30 PM Monday. “Irwindale, Calif. (February 13, 2012, 1:30PM ) - - The management of Ir-

windale Speedway today an-nounced that the 2012 racing season has been cancelled.” Some grandstands and other structures were apparently being dismantled over the weekend, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. AutoWeek magazine on Sunday reported the closure, citing an unnamed speed-way official.

For the past several years, the track has been host

to several junior-level NAS-CAR events such as the Toy-ota NASCAR Showdown and other races such as the Turkey Night Grand Prix, an open-wheel event that traced its origins to the pre-World War II era and the early days of Midget racing, which orig-inated in the L.A. area.

Irwindale also features a one-eighth-mile drag strip and is considered the birth-place of drifting in America.

They say growing old is not for sissies and I'm learning that is true. How-ever it can be humorous, especially as you observe it in someone else.

I was sitting in the foyer of Coco's Restaurant on Baldwin waiting for my friend. An old man and an older man came through. The old man slapped the older man on the shoul-der and hollered, "I guess she was right. Hell, I can't handle things any more that involve fine print. I can't see to read the damn stuff." They both laughed

and parted. I chuckled to myself.

The older man, who could barely walk, crawled and stumbled into his new but fender-dented Chrys-ler. The engine roared and he had his youth back. He looked nowhere. He just threw it in reverse, hit the gas mightily and ripped straight back. I chuckled to myself.

A young one, who was coming along in his four-wheeler, slammed on the brakes and laid on the horn. The older man obvi-ously didn't hear too well or the shock would have sent him all the way to kingdom Come.

I don't think he saw too well either 'cause he just smiled and waved in response to the young man's obscene gesture. He nodded a thank you to the young man and then shot

out onto Baldwin. The young guy sat there, threw both hands in the air and shook his head. I chuckled to myself.

Now the old man from the previous conversation came around the corner in his vintage pickup, honked his horn and motioned to the young man to get out of the way. The young one stuck his arm out the window and repeated his earlier obscene ges-ture. The old man maybe couldn't read fine print but he could see the gesture. He returned it. The kid moved on and the old man smiled a satisfied smile. I chuckled to myself.

My friend walked up, handed me some change and said, "Next time you better pay the bill. I can't read that fine print." I laughed out loud.

Recently at the Los Angeles Fit Expo thou-sands of people were en-tertained by the World’s Strongest Men Competi-tion. The World’s Stron-gest Men appear on ESPN regularly lifting cars, re-frigerators, Atlas Stones, as well as pulling planes, trucks, and even trains.

I grew up with two brothers, karl and John, who were outstanding foot-ball players as well as great weightlifters. They both could lift over 600 lbs in the deadlift, this is pulling the bar from the floor to their waist. My specialty was the press behind the neck, seated, 275 lbs. Lat-er I went on to break the world record in the bench press at 432.5 lbs at age 61. This lift was done in the Senior Olympics Competi-tion in Arcadia, California in our fitness center.

karl Gillingham from Northfield, Minnesota, comes from a family of the greatest brothers’ deadlift-ers in weightlifting history. Each of the brothers has lifted over 700 lbs in the deadlift. Brother Brad is a world record holder, he has lifted over 880 lbs, and brother Wade has lifted 700 lbs and as well as karl. Their father, Gale Gilling-ham was an all-pro lineman of the Green Bay Packers winning Super Bowl team. We went to the Univesity of Minnesota together in

the 60’s. These Minne-sotans are truly legends of power and strength. I’ve known karl and Dave for a number of years from the Strongman Competitions where I try to encourage them to break records.

Dave Ostlund is not yet 30 years of age. He is currently recovering from a knee injury. He has been in the top three competi-tors in the world in Strong-man. His power is incred-ible. He has carried over 400 lbs in each hand in the Farmers Walk as well as pulling an airplane by a rope over 100 feet. His fu-ture looks very bright. In a recent comment he said, “I will be back in competition hopefully by this summer.”

Lessons these Strong-men can teach us: 1. Have a goal. They started very young and trained to be

the best that they could be…world champions. 2. Start where you are and work with what you have. You may become a cham-pion, too, in your field of endeavor. 3. Train intel-ligently. Find the best training methods available within your given profes-sion. 4. Eat healthy. You are what you eat. 5. Ask God to guide you in your life. He listens to your prayers. 6. Thank God for your health, your fam-ily, and friends. 7. Believe.

Harry and Sarah Snei-der are professional train-ers who have competed in weightlifting competitions as well as other sports in the last 43 years. They have the expertise to help you to be the best that you can be. Give them a call at 626-355-8964 or email [email protected].

Woody Harrelson Gives Excellent Performance in New Cop Movie

FilM review By MicHael JaMeS Gonzalez

Not unlike the char-acter he played in 2009’s critically acclaimed film “The Messenger,” Woody Harrelson submits another hard-edged performance in “Rampart,” playing a shell-shocked, Vietnam vet with twenty-four years in the L.A.P.D. Dave Brown (Harrelson) is a cop who doesn’t shy away from whipping his gun out or kicking your teeth in if it means upholding the law. Neither does he shy away from forcing his dysfunc-tional family to stay togeth-er, despite its bizarre set up. Titled after the police

division that was marred by scandal and corruption in the 90s, “Rampart” fol-lows Brown in the days that follow. After an illegal gambling bust goes awry, Brown’s questionable rep-utation in the force starts to catch up to him when an Internal Affairs officer (Ice Cube) begins to investigate the bust and Brown him-self. The film is an interest-ing study of the corrupting nature of power and how justice by any means isn’t justified at all, thanks in large part to its stellar cast, including Robin Wright, Anne Heche, Cynthia Nix-

on, and an exceptional per-formance by Brie Larson, who plays one of Brown’s daughters. Director Oren Moverman co-wrote the script with master novelist James Elroy, whose gritty, hard-boiled atmospherics are captured nicely in the film, although the direction itself is sometimes too erat-ic—a technique most likely used to show Brown’s state of mind—for its own good. But its Harrelson’s talent as an actor that im-bues enough humanity into this character to make you almost root for him.

At times attempting to pay attention to what is going on in your local government is not unlike having a swarm of bees living in your head. So began the recent buzzing in my brain.

It started a couple of weeks ago when the current mayor in the rotation here in Temple City, Tom Chavez, got the bad news that his city sponsored vacation, I mean business trip, to China had been cancelled.

He was planning on go-ing on a currency quest to see if some foreign investors there would like to swap some cash for permanent residency with some EB-5 visas. EB-5 has become a very popular little program nowadays where foreign investors with enough cash, $500,000.00 is the mini-mum buy in, and the desire to live in the U.S., can work out a deal.

Tom and his councilites wanted to use the dough to kick start what is currently called “The Gateway” for-merly called “The Piazza” but will always be known to residents in the San Ga-briel Valley as “The Fiasco at Rosemead and Las Tunas”.

His council buddies said that due to the recent Wong, Wilson & Wang scandal they weren’t going to underwrite his little jaunt, for fear of pos-sibly perceived impropriety. City manager, Jose Pulido,

voiced his disappointment saying he hoped that the cash would help them start the Fiasco, I mean the Gate-way construction at the same time they would be starting the demolition and alleged beautification of Rosemead Boulevard.

Say what? Okay I’ll get back to that in a minute. Let me get you caught up on the China excursion first.

In what I personally view as kind of an odd turn of events, Randy “I Couldn’t Build A House Of Cards If My Life Depended On It” Wang who was at the heart of the scandal that sent Cathe Wilson and Judy Wong to prison and is the one that has been holding the corner of Las Tunas and Rosemead hostage, is paying for a couple of members of the Temple City chamber of commerce to go with him to China.

Talk about your per-ceived impropriety. They may not be city employees, but I have a funny feeling that the potential investors they are going after may get the impression that they are. Just call me suspicious, but I can hear the excuse “lost in translation” being used some-where down the line when future litigation is being dis-cussed.

Now back to the con-struction double dipping on Rosemead Boulevard that city manager Pulido was re-ferring to.

Back in October I made a call to city hall to ask a couple of questions on the “proposed” modifications to Rosemead Boulevard, the street on which I live. I had received a flyer about a meet-ing that invited residents to share their concerns about the “proposed” renovations. The artist rendering shown on the flyer included solid medians full of trees, shrub-beries, and faceless people

walking and riding bicycles. What I wanted to know

was, if there was a median in front of my driveway that would prevent me, or anyone else, from making left turns in or out of their driveways and businesses.

The answer was, of course, yes.

The people on the com-mittee that I spoke to, kristi and Steve, sent me straight to the top. Via e-mail, they hooked me up with council member and head of the committee, Carl Blum, with the requisite cc’s to council member Vince Yu and city manager Jose Pulido.

Carl was quick on the e-mail draw. In part he stated the following: “I understand the concern you brought up and will add it to the com-ments we will receive at Thursday’s meeting. We will evaluate the input we get and will determine what adjustments we feel need to be made to the proposed de-sign. We will probably not finish that process until late October. We will get back to you at that time.”

His email made me feel special and that my concerns mattered. The council would see what a burden their plans would be for me and my neighbors. They would find a way to modify their plans to please their citizens.

I can be such an ideal-istic fool sometimes, and this was one of them.

When the time frame ol’ Carl had specified had come and gone I started to smell something foul. I shot him off an e-mail to see if he and his buddies had found their erasers yet.

Carl’s response?: “While it would cause some minor inconvenience to those living on the east side of the 5100 block of Rose-

Dear Editor:Thank you for the

thoughtful column. There are signs all over the neigh-borhood boosting Measure A. Nobody seems to know what this measure will do, but they are supporting it.

There is no chance for oppo-sition, because there is noth-ing to oppose. There are no debates, there is no time for discussion, the ballots are coming to our homes.

My personal take is that we in Arcadia, having an

apparent abundance of re-sources, should share our ex-cess money with other school districts who have far greater needs. Arcadia Unified is doing well and will continue to do well.

California Housing Affordability Improves, Matching Previous Record High, A.A.R. Reports

According to the Arca-dia Association of REAL-TORS®, California’s hous-ing affordability rose to its highest level in fourth-quarter 2011, matching a record high set in 2009, thanks to lower home prices and record-low interest rates. This informa-tion was obtained from re-ports furnished by the CALI-FORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.).

The percentage of home buyers who could af-ford to purchase a median-priced, existing single-family home in California rose to 55 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011, up from 52 percent in third-quarter 2011 and

from 50 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010, accord-ing to C.A.R.’s Traditional Housing Affordability Index (HAI). The index was the highest since C.A.R. began tracking this statistic in 1988, and equaled a high set in first-quarter 2009.

C.A.R.’s HAI mea-sures the percentage of all households that can afford to purchase a median-priced, single-family home in Califor-nia. C.A.R. also reports af-fordability indices for regions and select counties within the state. The Index is consid-ered the most fundamental measure of housing well-being for home buyers in the

state.Home buyers needed

to earn a minimum an-nual income of $57,750 to qualify for the purchase of a $282,350 statewide median-priced, existing single-family home in the fourth quarter of 2011. The monthly pay-ment, including taxes and insurance on a 30-year fixed-rate loan, would be $1,440, assuming a 20 percent down payment and an effective composite interest rate of 4.31 percent. The effective composite interest rate in third-quarter 2011 was 4.63 percent and 4.62 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010.

beautiful rendition of “It had to be you”

The popular song writ-ten by Isham Jones, with lyrics by Gus kahn was first published in 1924.

The song was per-formed by Priscilla Lane in the 1939 film The Roaring Twenties and by Danny Thomas in the 1951 film I'll See You in My Dreams. The latter film was based loosely upon the lives of Gus kahn and his wife Grace LeBoy kahn. It was also performed by Dooley Wilson in the 1942 film Casablanca, Betty Hutton in the 1945 film In-cendiary Blonde, and by Diane keaton in the 1977 film Annie Hall. It was also performed in the film A League of Their Own by Megan Cavanagh.

The lyrics explain why the singer puts up with a domineering partner. The reason offered is depth of attachment: "somebody who could make me be true, could make me be blue." However, domina-tion itself may be the attrac-tion: "some others I've seen might never be mean, never be cross, try to be boss, but they wouldn't do." The sing-er concludes: "nobody else gave me a thrill ... wonder-ful you, it had to be you."

The song could have been written expressly for Lucille and Frank. Lu-cille said that a big part of their success as a couple is that one has to be passive.

With Frank as the fiery Ital-ian, one can only reflect on who was the passive partner here.

In June of 1956, the young couple ventured to California. Frank’s profes-sion as an electronic techni-cian saw a huge opportu-nity with Bell and Howell in Pasadena. From there on Frank progressed steadily in the industry and they bought their home in Al-tadena within the first two years living in Pasadena.

When you combine this love of life with the ex-traordinary fact of nearly 75 years of shared joy, this in itself deserves some kind of recognition, therefore we decided to wish Frank not only Happy Birthday from Beacon Media but also con-gratulations on 75 years of marriage which they’ll be celebrating in a mere few months. The couple has two boys, two grandsons and four great grandchil-dren.

$24 Million Land Deal Finally Approved for Metro Goldline

Maintenance FacilityThe Construction Au-

thority and Excalibur Prop-erty Holdings, LLC agreed to terms for purchase of the re-maining privately-held prop-erty needed for the Goldline maintenance facility. The Metro funding agreement requires control of half of the required real estate before the remaining $527 million can be committed. Last week’s agreement brings the Author-ity’s total to approximately half of the land needed.

Excalibur – which owns 20% of the total land needed

for the facility - has initiated several lawsuits against the Construction Authority over the last year. At the same time, the Authority has ini-tiated eminent domain to acquire its land. All of these actions have been progress-ing on separate schedules and each has been affecting the other, together creating significant legal and financial risk to the project.

Over the last two weeks, the Authority, Metro and Ex-calibur representatives have agreed to terms through the

guidance of Superior Court Settlement Judge Helen Ben-dix. As the result of this effort, all lawsuits are settled for $24 million, protecting taxpayer funds by avoiding continua-tion of costly litigation and as-sociated significant project de-lays (which we estimate could increase the project cost by well over $100 million). The agreement amount is within the approved budget for the maintenance facility, keeping the project on budget and on schedule.

During the month of January, Los Angeles County D.I.S.A.R.M. of-ficers arrested 205 proba-tioners and confiscated 51 firearms and over $2.2 million in illegal drugs and drug money, announced Supervisor Michael D. An-tonovich.

In conjunction with lo-cal law enforcement, 1681 searches were conducted of probationers who, as a

condition of probation, are subject to unannounced searches targeting guns, drugs and other contra-band.

D.I.S.A.R.M was initi-ated by Supervisor Anto-novich following the tragic August 1999 shootings at the North Valley Jewish Community Center and the murder of a postal worker by Buford Furrow, an armed felon on probation

from Washington State. Since its implementa-

tion in February of 2000, the D.I.S.A.R.M. program has seized over 8,100 weap-ons and more than $363 million in illegal drugs and drug money and resulted in 16,500 arrests. Nearly 10 percent of probationers searched in this program have been found to be out of compliance with the terms of their probation.

It’s time to purchase your tickets to the 48th Annual Pasadena Show-case for the Arts (PSHA) 2012 Showcase House of Design. Tickets will go on sale on February 13th for this annual event.

For the last 47 years PSHA has raised funds, generated by proceeds from the Pasadena Show-case House of Design, to promote youth music edu-cation and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. To date, PSHA has donated over $18 million to these pro-grams. Funds have also provided opportunities for over 350,000 children to discover, enjoy and study classical music. Proceeds from the 2010 Pasadena Showcase House of Design

generated $750,000 which was distributed during the Gifts and Grants Recep-tion at the 2011 Pasadena Showcase House of Design last spring.

In the wake of fierce winds and power outages that caused significant dam-age to parts of Southern California late last year, As-semblymember Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge) has introduced a bill to improve emergency and disaster preparedness in California.

AB 1650 requires gas and electric companies to hold comprehensive disas-ter preparedness meetings every two years with the counties and cities they ser-vice in order to improve readiness and better pre-pare for future disasters. It also calls on the California Public Utilities Commission to use its regulatory author-ity to set preparedness stan-dards for public utilities.

“We learned some things from this recent disas-ter that change how we look

at these events,” explained Assemblymember Portan-tino. “Having utilities re-view their plans every two years will force better coor-dination, better service and better public safety. Many ratepayers may not know that a portion of their utility bills is intended to pay for emergency preparedness; let’s make sure it does.”

The San Gabriel Val-ley was hit hard in early December by devastating winds that knocked out power to nearly a quarter of a million customers, some of them for more than a week. In a preliminary re-port, the California Public Utilities Commission stated that in some cases, South-ern California Edison’s equipment did not meet safety standards and that the utility was slow to re-store power to homes and

businesses. Local utilities also had trouble with com-munications plans.

“The purpose of these meetings is to inform the counties of emergency plan-ning and to offer County Public Works Departments and the public, the opportu-nity to review and improve those plans,” explained Por-tantino. “We saw in this last disaster that communica-tions were often incomplete or confusing and the public really had no idea what was going on. We all know the ‘Big One’ is coming- it’s just a matter of when – and we need to be prepared.”

Under AB 1650, gas and electric companies will be required to begin their disaster preparedness meet-ings within three months of the legislation becoming law.

Wind Disaster Highlights Need forBetter Planning (AB 1650)

Free Monrovia Mulch AvailableThe old agade that it

is an ill wind that blows nobody good means that the winds of the night of November 30/December1 were not competely bad. The downed trees resulted in a great deal of green waste, much of which has been chipped, ground, and composted into gar-

den mulch. The city of Monrovia amd Athens Services are making that mulch available.

On Saturday, February 18 and again on the 25th the mulch will be available free at Recreation Park, 600 S. Shamrock, next to the Boy’s and Girls Club. Individuals must bring

their own shovels and con-tainers for transportation. Gloves and safety glasses or goggles are also recom-mended. The mulch will be available free as long as supplies last from 8 am to 5 p.m. each day.

For further informa-tion, contact the city at (626) 932-5525.

Rattlesnake Aversion Training Session for Your Dog

Dog owners can pro-tect their pets and them-selves from dangerous rattlesnake bites with a special one-day training event at Huntington Vet-erinary Hospital, 535 West Huntington Drive, Monro-via, CA 91016 on Sunday March 4, 2012.

California has a variety of snakes, most of which are benign. The excep-tion is California’s only native venomous snake -

the rattlesnake. There are currently ten recognized species and sub-species of rattlesnake in California. Dogs are especially at risk; in fact dogs are about 20 times more likely to be bit-ten by venomous snakes than people and are about 25 times more likely to die if bitten. Snake bites are life threatening, extremely painful, expensive to treat, and can cause permanent damage even when the dog

survives.The California Poison

Control Center notes that rattlesnakes account for more than 800 human bites each year with one to two deaths. Most bites occur be-tween the months of April and October when snakes and humans are most ac-tive outdoors. Rattlesnakes are typically non-aggressive and shy away when possi-ble, but when startled, cor-nered or pursued (as by a curious and un-trained ca-nine) they strike and often inject their venom.

The training costs $80 for existing clients of Hun-tington Veterinary Hospi-tal, or $95 for non-clients. Payment is due at time of reservation. Owners can reserve a space by calling HVH at (626) 357-2335, or via email at [email protected]. Learn more about Huntington Veterinary Hospital at www.huntvh.com.

Portantino Introduces Legislation to Hold Rapists Accountable

by Deleting the Statute of Limitations for the

Crime of RapeAs s emb l ymembe r

Anthony Portantino (D – La Cañada Flintridge), has introduced AB 1682, his latest effort to ensure that rapists are ultimately caught and convicted in California. “Under cur-rent law, there is a ten year statute of limitation for the crime of rape. AB 1682 deletes this arbitrary time limit and will provide that those who sexually prey on our citizens can be brought to justice.”

“I have in the past in-troduced legislation to en-sure that all rape kits that are collected in California are tested for evidence of crime. Unfortunately, many rape kits are never

tested. It is frustrating to know a rapist could con-tinue to walk the streets because a vital piece of evidence went untested because of the costs of pro-cessing these kits.”

Under current law, evidence from rape kits is held in law enforcement evidence lockers where many languish, oftentimes past the statute of limita-tions for prosecuting the crime. While the number of unopened or untested kits throughout the State has been subject to debate, it is clear that local resourc-es are not adequate to pro-cess rape kits for evidence unless there is a deter-mined commitment to do

so. “Not testing rape kits after a woman has submit-ted herself to the invasive process of collecting a rape kit, betrays the victim’s faith in the criminal justice system, Portantino said.”

AB 1682 will provide a different solution to the problem by deleting the statute of limitations for the crime of rape. “While justice delayed, is justice denied; a statute of limita-tions that terminates pros-ecution because we do not want to spend money test-ing rape kits is unconscio-nable.” This measure will hold accountable those who commit this terrible crime whenever it was committed.

Community Workshop Feb. 16 toFocus on Gang Awareness

YWCA Honors Inger Miller

Fat Tuesday is Nearly Here, There isStill Time to Get Mardi Gras Tickets

Olympic Gold Medalist and Local Businesswoman Inger Miller will kick off the YWCA’s 2012 Honors Se-ries! Mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 29th, from 5:30pm to 7:00pm in the Ross Chapel at the Pasa-dena Neighborhood Unitar-ian Church, 301 N. Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91103. Come and share the evening with the YWCA and listen to the highlights and accomplishments of this em-powering female athlete.

Inger Miller graduated from Pasadena’s own John Muir High School with a full athletic scholarship to attend the University of Southern California. During the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Miller

won her first gold medal and later won four World Cham-pionship gold medals.

Miller now owns and operates Miller-Hawkins Pro-ductions, a full service event planning company located in Altadena. MHPevents has been honored by Assembly-member Anthony Portantino as California’s Small Business of the Year and Top 40 under 40 by Pasadena Magazine. Miller is also the President of the Altadena Chamber of Commerce.

Join us in kicking off yet another exciting year of the YWCA Honors Series. It is at the heart of the YWCA to rec-ognize the female leaders of our community and to high-light the accomplishments of

these women of excellence. Following 2012 YWCA Hon-ors events will be held in May and August of this year; ad-ditional speakers for the 2012 series to be confirmed.

Tickets for the event are $45 and include refreshments, $55 at the door. To honor In-ger, special friend tickets are available at $100. Purchase tickets online at www.ywca.org/IngerMiller or call Crys-tal at 626-296-8433. If you or someone you know is inter-ested in serving as a Sponsor for the 2012 YWCA Honors Series, please contact Crystal to obtain more information. Proceeds from the event will support YWCA Pasadena-Foothill Valley’s programs for girls and women.

Only days are left before Fat Tuesday, but you can still get tickets to Methodist Hos-pital’s 17th annual Mardi Gras celebration February 21 at Sirona’s, Santa Anita Park.

Over 500 local business and community leaders, physicians and community members are expected to attend the festive fundraiser, which will begin at 6 p.m. Guests will enjoy a variety of fun-filled activities, including a parade and silent auction, drinks and dancing, and deli-cious food prepared by some of San Gabriel Valley’s fin-est restaurants. More than 20 area eateries are expected to participate, including The Derby, Casa del Rey, Green Street Restaurant, Cabrera’s Mexican Cuisine, Matt Den-ny’s and Cafe Massilia.

And it’s all for a very im-portant cause. Proceeds go to the hospital’s elite stroke pro-gram, which greatly impacts

the lives of those afflicted by a stroke as well as their loved ones. Stroke is the leading cause of death and primary cause of adult disability with-in the United States.

It is imperative to imme-diately call 911 if someone appears to have stroke symp-toms. When the brain can be preserved, the subsequent quality of life for a person af-flicted by a stroke can change vastly. Emergency response teams will take a patient to an approved stroke-receiving center like Methodist Hos-pital. The certified, interdis-ciplinary team will give im-mediate, interventional care, striving to have stroke pa-tients back home, resuming quality of daily life with their loved ones.

The support provided from the Mardi Gras pro-ceeds will help with the expansion of the stroke program at Methodist Hos-pital. This year’s co-chairs Lindburgh McPherson and

Sherri Taylor also chaired the highly successful Mardi Gras 2010.

“We have wonderful entertainment with lots of fun activities – and it’s all for a great cause,” McPherson said.

Taylor agreed. “This is such a fun event, and it is im-portant to raise awareness of these vital hospital services,” she said. “It is imperative for members of a community to support any hospital that would assist them in a health emergency, and Mardi Gras is a wonderful way to support Methodist Hospital.”

Last year’s Mardi Gras raised an estimated $70,000, and this year’s should be an extraordinary event, McPher-son added.

Mardi Gras is almost here, so order your tickets today, and laissez les bon temps rouler! Contact Gloria Rico at 626-821-2340 or [email protected].

Love Notes from Around the World Come to Huntington Hospital Cancer PatientsPresentation Honors Cancer Patients on Valentine's Day

Love Notes From Around the World is a joint effort between Huntington Hospital and the American Cancer Society (ACS) South-ern California Chinese Re-lay for Life.

Found-ed by cancer survivor Vivian Chan in 2011, Love Notes encourages local school chil-dren and community mem-bers to write heartfelt notes of encouragement to hospital-ized cancer patients. School representatives delivered the notes to Huntington Hospi-tal on Valentine’s Day. This year, guests from China, Tai-wan and Hong kong also brought notes notes and well-wishes from Chinese students as well. Representatives from Huntington Hospital Cancer Center, the American Cancer Society Southern California Chinese Relay for Life (Viv-ian Chan), local high school students (including San Ma-rino, Temple City, Arcadia and Arroyo high schools) and distinguished guests from Chi-na gathered for for the Love Notes presentation in the hos-pital’s north courtyard.

all the assets of the redevel-opment agencies statewide, the MRA and the city had reached an agreement with the GLCA for the sale of the city and MRA owned properties needed for the Maintenance Yard. Lutz said “The negotiated deal is The Deal as far as we and the Gold Line are concerned.” She pointed out, however, that the city could not yet act upon that negotiated agreement.

The actions of the state legislature which dis-banded the redevelopment agencies called for succes-sor agencies to oversee the payment of debts owed the agencies and the disposal of their assets. However, in disposing of the assets (such as selling land to the GLCA) the actions of the Successor Agencies had to

be approved by an Over-sight Board. Each Rede-velopment Agency would have a Successor Agency and each Successor Agen-cy would have its own Oversight Board.

While the City of Mon-rovia has declared itself the Successor Agency to its own redevelopment agen-cy, an Oversight Board has not yet been created. As provided by the state, the city has two appointments to that Board. The county has two appointments as well. The county Board of Education, the head of the county Sanitation District, and the Chancellor of the State Community College System, each have one ap-pointment. Only the city has named its two mem-bers of the seven member Oversight Board. Mayor

Lutz and Darlene Sanchez, Senior Project Manager of what was the MRA are the two appointed to the Board.

Until the rest of the members are appointed to the board and until the leg-islature has outlines exactly how they are to act, any ac-tion of the Successor Agen-cy cannot be approved.

Even such an approval is not enough to give the city the ability to sell the property. The approval of the State Department of Fi-nance is also required.

American Heart Association, City Officials Report on Pasadena’s

State of Heart Health

Eric Walsh, MD, MPH, City of Pasadena Public Health Department Director/Health Officer along with Vyshali Rao, MD, American Heart Asso-ciation (AHA) Greater Los Angeles Division Board Member and Cardiolo-gist at Huntington Hospi-tal were among the many speakers at a press confer-ence on Valentine’s Day held outside Macy’s on South Lake in Pasadena.

In honor of Heart Month, the American Heart Association joined in with Pasadena City offi-cials in sharing a profile of heart health in Pasadena, the steps the city has tak-en, in collaboration with the AHA, to foster heart health among its residents, and plans for the future. Huntington Hospital also offered free BP screenings.

Heart disease and stroke are the nation’s No.

1 and No. 4 killers, claim-ing more than 831,000 lives every year. In Pasadena, 217 residents die each year from coronary heart dis-ease and 44 die of stroke. Mortality rates from heart disease and stroke has de-clined sharply in Los Ange-les County. Between 1997 and 2007, heart disease and stroke deaths dropped by 41 percent and 39 percent, respectively, translating to about 11,000 lives saved an-nually from these diseases. Despite these encourag-ing numbers, heart disease mortality in LA County remains 12 percent higher than for the country as a whole. In addition, some of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease – such as high blood pres-sure, physical inactivity and obesity – have not seen the same decline and are in fact rising. For example, the rate of overweight adults in Pasadena is close to 38 per-cent, while the rate of Pasa-dena smokers is 10 percent. If this does not stop, we are likely to begin seeing an in-crease in cardiovascular dis-eases, and at an earlier age.

It is very exciting to have so many of Pasadena’s favorites on board for Pasadena Restau-rant Week and some of our best new restaurants,” said Paul Little, president and chief executive officer of the Pasadena Chamber of Com-merce. “We are seeing a lot of enthusiasm from our res-taurateurs who are excited to be able to showcase their extraordinary menus for reg-ular and new visitors during Pasadena Restaurant Week at the end of March.”

mead Blvd who might wish to travel south on Rosemead Blvd, they would be able to travel north for a short dis-tance to Sereno and then loop around to Sultana and then to Pentland and enter Rosemead Blvd to go south at the traffic signal at Pent-land or they could go a little further north and make a u-turn at the traffic signal at Broadway. It would be no different than for those who live along the many miles of wider more heavily traveled roadways that already have medians (including much of Rosemead Blvd, Huntington Drive, Santa Anita Dr., and Baldwin Ave as examples).”

I learned two things

from his response. First, it confirms my long held belief that they put hallucinogens in the water at city hall. Second, I now know what classifies as a “minor inconvenience” in the eyes of the current city council.

I wonder what they would call it if someone put a barrier in front of their house preventing them from making a left turn in or out of their driveway? Somehow I don’t think the word “mi-nor” would be involved.

A few questions popped into my spinning head as I read his email. Who de-cided that the 17 million dol-lars available for this project should be spent on this?

Why, just because mistakes were made on Rosemead, Huntington and Baldwin, should we repeat them?

And the biggest why of all? Why would anybody think it would be a good idea to begin two major construc-tion projects on the same street at the same time? Isn’t this something that the resi-dents in the city, if not all the surrounding cities, should be deciding on? Or don’t you care what kind of traffic night-mare you would be causing for all of our neighbors?

Oh that’s right, I forgot, it would only be a minor in-convenience. kind of like having bees living in your head.

The California Ani-mal Control Directors Association and the State Humane Association of California have jointly an-nounced that they oppose Governor Brown’s pro-posed repeal of the animal adoption mandate created by the 1998 enactment of the “Hayden Law.”

This mandate re-quires that animal shelters perform certain duties, including holding stray or abandoned animals for a minimum of four to six days rather than the 72 hours required by prior law and providing them with necessary and prompt veterinary care. In return, the state is required to provide reimbursement for the increased costs in-curred by shelters in the performance of those du-ties.

“Our organization supports the enhanced care afforded to animals through the passage of the Hayden Law,” stated Marcia Mayeda, President of the California Animal Control Directors Associa-tion. “There has been so much progress for animals in California’s shelters since this law became ef-fective. A repeal would be a huge step backwards.”

“While we understand that the Governor is faced with the necessity of mak-ing deep and painful bud-get cuts, we believe that the welfare of California’s vulnerable companion animals should be given priority,” explained Erica Gaudet Hughes, Execu-tive Director of the State Humane Association of California. “Reducing the required holding period

for stray and abandoned animals to 72 hours and carving away at the re-quirement that sick and in-jured animals receive life-saving veterinary care will result in more euthanasia and increased suffering of stray and abandoned ani-mals. Our sick and vul-nerable animals deserve more.”

Mayeda notes that many shelters will con-tinue to hold stray animals for more than 72 hours and provide appropriate veterinary care. However, local governing bodies will now have the option of requiring that their ani-mal shelters operate at the minimum level required by law.

While funding the mandate is CACDA and SHAC’s first choice, they urge the Governor

to suspend -- rather than repeal -- the animal adop-tion mandate if the state is simply unable to fund the mandate in the upcoming year. “We are working closely with our legislative advocate in Sacramento to preserve the Hayden Law so that California can continue to offer a mini-mum of care for its stray and abandoned animals,” stated Hughes. “We have a moral imperative to pro-tect those animals that are unable to protect them-selves.”

Both organizations advocate for a working group of California’s shel-tering leaders to convene to explore viable alterna-tives. The working group would also be tasked with evaluating outcomes in the twelve years since en-actment of the legislation.

Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich announced that Los Angeles County has proclaimed February 19, 2012 as a Day of Re-membrance for Japanese-Americans interned during World War II.

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin Roo-sevelt issued Executive Order 9066 incarcerating all 120,000 Japanese-Amer-icans and legal residents

following Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. While the order also au-thorized the selective incar-ceration of some citizens of German and Italian de-scent, it forcibly relocated all citizens and legal resi-dents of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast of the United States.

In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation apologizing for

President Roosevelt’s in-ternment on behalf of the U.S. government, stating that the order was based on “race prejudice, war hyste-ria, and a failure of politi-cal leadership.” More than $1.6 billion in reparations was dispersed to those who had been interned.

“Los Angeles County, home to one of the largest populations of Japanese-Americans in the nation,

has benefited economically and culturally in the fields of business, agriculture, ac-ademia, medicine, govern-ment and the arts from the many contributions of the Japanese-American com-munity,” said Antonovich.

Supervisor Mark Rid-ley-Thomas’ “Day of Re-membrance” motion was unanimously approved by the Board of Supervisors today.

Around 5:58 p.m., an of-ficer responded to the Drinker’s Hall of Fame parking lot, 151 East Hun-tington Drive, in regards to a hit and run report. The

ed for the listed charges and transported to the Ar-cadia City Jail for booking. Thursday, February 9:Shortly after 2:22 p.m., of-ficers responded to the 000 block of Christina Avenue in reference to a residen-tial burglary report.

No signs of forced entry were located and no one saw or heard anything sus-picious. Between 2:00 p.m. and 6:15 p.m., unknown sus-pects stole 96 bras from the merchandise draw-ers at Victoria’s Secret at the Santa Anita Mall, 400 South Baldwin Avenue. The manager on site ex-plained the store was crowded with customers. Review of video surveil-lance footage for possible suspect(s) information was underway at the time of the report. Friday, February 10:Around 1:57 a.m., an of-ficer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for lane swerving in the area of Huntington Drive and Santa Anita Avenue. A record check revealed the driver, a 30-year-old Hispanic male, had an ex-pired license. The passen-ger, a 21-year-old Hispanic female, was in possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, and had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant. A vehicle search revealed the driver was in posses-sion of stolen mail, sixteen checks belonging to other people, and burglary tools. Through investigation, the officer determined some of the checks were altered to show the passenger as the payee. Both suspects were arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking. At about 6:22 p.m., an of-ficer responded to Sephora at the Santa Anita Mall, 400 South Baldwin Av-enue, in regards to a theft report. A female adult suspect stole merchandise from the store and exited without making payment. A loss prevention officer attempted to detain the suspect; however, she ran away leaving behind her

purse containing the stolen merchandise. The suspect and two unknown female subjects fled the parking lot in a black vehicle, pos-sibly a Honda Accord. Saturday, February 11:At roughly 7:38 a.m., an officer was dispatched to Albertsons, 298 East Live Oak Avenue, regarding a request for a subject check.

An investigation revealed the subject was in possession of a controlled substance and had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant. He was arrested and transport-ed to the Arcadia Meth-odist Hospital for medical clearance prior to booking. Shortly after 9:52 p.m., an officer conducted a traffic stop on a grey Honda on Live Oak Avenue at Long-den Avenue after he ob-served the vehicle change lanes without the use of its signal, and noticed its rear license plate was hanging from one screw. The driv-er revealed he was only sixteen and did not have a license. Through investiga-tion, the officer discovered the vehicle belonged to the passenger, a 23-year-old Hispanic male, who had expired registration, an outstanding misdemeanor warrant, and was in posses-sion of marijuana. The sub-jects explained they placed a false license plate on the vehicle to avoid registra-tion requirements. They were arrested and trans-ported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking.

Old Town Valentine’s Day Drawing WinnersWhen Nic Conway

listened to her voice mail last Friday night her hus-band, David, says she was literally dancing for joy. “You’ve just won the Old Town Valentine’s Day drawing”, the message said. “Come on in and pick up your 40” teddy bear and your gift certifi-cate to Monrovia Floral for one dozen red roses – plus your $100 gift certificate to an Old Town restaurant”.

That message is enough to make anyone dance, but anyone who knows the Conways can appreciate their special dance. Long-time resi-dents of Monrovia and avid supporters of Mon-rovia’s historic Old Town district, Nic and Dave can be seen several times a week dining and/or shop-ping locally, often leav-ing the car behind and walking briskly from their nearby residence. They

share what they like, and they like what they share, and those of us who are fortunate enough to know them continue to appreci-ate their enthusiasm.

One of the really ex-citing things about this drawing is the winner can use their $100 gift cer-tificate for a one-time use attheir favorite restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Last year’s win-ner was a then 12 year old young girl who treated her mom and two brothers to a very large breakfast at the Peach Café. This year the Conways have chosen Myrtle Avenue’s famous Café Opera for their spe-cial meal.

Monrovia Old Town merchants host a variety of special events through-out the year. For Old Town updates check out www.OldTownMonrovia-CA.com, or friend us on Facebook.

Police Officers Named in Barnes’ Shooting

More than three years after the fatal shooting of Leroy Barnes Jr., the Pasa-dena Police Department has released the names of the two officers involved.

Officers Michael Al-varado and Charles Reep were the two Pasadena po-lice officers who fired the 11 shots that killed Leroy Barnes.

The two police offi-cers who shot and killed 38-year-old Pasadena resi-dent Leroy Barnes in Feb-ruary 2009 will not face any county criminal charges.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office concluded in its investigation in 2010 and stated that the shooting was “lawful self-defense.”

Leroy Barnes was shot 11 times, including seven times in the back, after Pasadena Police officers pulled over a car driven by Emeka Edwards on Men-tone Avenue on Feb. 19 2009

The California Su-preme Court decision said Wednesday that the names of officers in on-duty shoot-

ings should be provided to the public.

Barnes, a 38-year-old Pasadena resident, parolee and gang member, was shot to death by the offi-cers during a traffic stop on Feb. 19, 2009. The officers, who were not prosecuted, were however, named in a wrongful death lawsuit filed in 2009.


Eugene Ray Fields was born September 6, 1925 in Berkeley, California. His childhood was spent trav-eling through the fruit or-chards of the area, working with his family during the great depression. In 1945, while play-ing baseball in the streets of San Gabriel, CA he met his soon-to-be-wife, Geral-dine. Love at first sight, and a few serenades later, they mar-ried after a mere 5 months. In September of 2011 they cele-brated their 66h wedding anni-versary. Those years were over-flowing with love, laughter, and a few more serenades.

Gene was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Arcadia, CA, from 1983 to present, serv-ing as Master in 1989. This service to the Lodge, and youth groups within, gave him great joy. The tal-ented work of his hands encompassed a number of industries, from the steel booths founds in parking garages across the country, to small works of arts and crafts, to RV repair and the beautification and expan-sion of his own homes.

Gene and Geri spent much of their lives togeth-er camping in their RV's mostly up and down the Pacific coast line and gold country and occasionally in their own yard. They were able to enjoy a trip of life-

time covering most of the US in 1996 that they still talk about. In 2002 they “retired” to Nampa, Idaho where they purchased a historic home. True to

his gift of craftsmanship, he quickly upgraded their new home, including a dream workshop. They had many more plans for the house, yard and trav-els when the excruciating pain in his back caused those plans to come to a halt. When a surgery in 2009 left him a paraplegic it slowed him down only a little as he picked up an old hobby of wood carv-ing and still helped his be-loved wife finish up a few projects around their home and even started a few new ones.

Despite Gene's zeal for life, warrior spirit and multiple miraculous heal-

ings, the paralysis began a series of health compli-cations over the next 2 ½ years that has finally called him to his true Home. Gene went to be with his

Savior on Thurs-day, February 9, 2012.

He is sur-vived by his cherished wife Geri, son David and wife kathi of California, daughter Cindy and husband Jim of Washington, grandchildren: Tammy and her husband Gor-don of Nampa, Michelle and her husband Charles of Cali-fornia, Tyler and his wife Linda of California, and Erik also of California, and great grandchil-dren: CJ, Sierra, Cyrus, Harrison and Brooklyn, as well as a sister,

a sister-in-law, and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ray Thomas Fields, Goldie Fields, his sister Betty Fields, his brother Wayne Fields and great grand-daughter Georgia Adams.

A public memorial service will be held on Thursday, February 16 at 11:00am at Eagle Naza-rene Church, 1001 W State Street in Eagle, Idaho. In lieu of flowers please do-nate to National kidney Foundation of Utah and Idaho, 3707 North Canyon Road, Suite 1D, Provo, UT 84604.

Lives Remembered

Eugene Ray Fields

By rutH lonGoria KinGSland

Quite probably the oldest man in Duarte, the patriarch of one of the larg-est families in this city was honored Jan 24 by the City Council.

known to many as “Papa Reyes,” longtime Duartian Jose Reyes Diaz turned 100 years old Jan. 6. He has nine children, about 60 grandchildren, 140 great-grandchildren, and 18 great-great-grandchildren. More than three-dozen of those family members still live in the Duarte area. About 300 family members attended an early birthday party for the elder Diaz in October, with relatives flying in from as far away as Chicago, Georgia and Mexico.

“We have a great fam-ily — I’m really blessed,” said Diaz’s grandson, Frank Figueroa, 16-year member of the Duarte Board of Edu-cation. Figueroa, 47, was on hand for the Jan. 24 City Council meeting to speak on behalf of his grandfather, who has had difficulty speak-ing since a stroke about five years ago.

Despite verbal difficul-ties, Diaz lives a full life in the home of Figueroa’s par-ents, Vicente and Herlinda Figueroa. He is able to take

a daily walk in the patio area of the home and is alert and able to communicate with family, Frank Figueroa said.

Diaz was born in 1912 in Cartegenas, Jalisco, Mex-ico. On Feb. 15, 1933, he married Maximina Huizar. Maximina, known to fam-ily as “Mama Mina” died in May 1993. The couple im-migrated to southern Texas in the 1950s. There, Diaz worked as a bracero, a mi-grant farm worker, picking onions in the Brownsville area for 50-cents-per-day. In 1976, the Diaz family moved to Duarte. In Du-arte, Diaz continued in the field of agriculture, picking fruit in the fields of the city’s north hard stone area. At that time, much of the area above Royal Oaks Avenue was nurseries and strawber-ry fields. He later retired as a dishwasher at Royal Oaks Manor.

“My grandfather has always worked hard at hard labor. Maybe that’s why he has lived so long, he has worked so hard,” Figueroa said. After living and work-ing in this country for most of his life, Diaz expressed to his family his desire to become a United States citi-zen, so, on Feb. 6, 1998 Diaz

officially became a U.S. citi-zen.

Although he left most of his family in Mexico when he moved to the United States, Diaz was from a large family that was separated during the War of the Christeros, an uprising in the 1920s when the Mexican Government persecuted Catholic activi-ties and outlawed religious education.

In addition to growing his own dynasty of descen-dents in southern California, Diaz found after moving to Duarte that other family members also had settled in the Los Angeles area. About 60 years after last seeing his brother in Mexico, Diaz met his brother’s son, who then lived in Whittier. Although the nephew since died, Diaz also has great nieces and nephews in that area.

While presenting Diaz with a certificate of recogni-tion for his many years in Duarte and in life, Mayor John Fasana expressed his appreciation for Diaz’s life well lived.

“This isn’t just an 80th birthday, or a 90th birthday. This is 100 years. That’s a lot of years,” he said.

Duartian Turns 100

Rose Leaf Ragtime Club Meets Feb 26. at AztecThe Rose Leaf Ragtime

Club, now in its 17th year of operation, which meets on the last Sunday of every month, will next gather on Sunday February 26, 2012 at the Aztec Hotel’s Ma-yan Restaurant from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. Special guest per-former will be ragtime and stride pianist Bob Pinsker. Bob was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He studied the violin with

several members of the Pitts-burgh Symphony Orches-tra as a child and has been playing the violin in various orchestras for more than 40 years. He taught himself to play the piano in his early teens and soon developed a lifetime interest in the popu-lar piano styles of the first half of the 20th century. He has studied old sheet music and piano rolls since the ear-ly 70s. In "real life", Bob is a

plasma physicist working at a laboratory in San Diego, California, but whenever he can he carries out musi-cological research, performs with the Heliotrope Ragtime Orchesta, of which he is the co-founder and co-leader, rehearses with orchestras and bands (Red Pepper Jazz Band and the San Diego Six, among others), and ap-pears as a solo pianist at such venues as Old Town Music

Hall (where he appeared in two concerts in 2002 and one each in 2003-2009), El Segundo, CA, the Orange County RagFest (2001-2010), West Coast Ragtime Festival, Sutter Creek Rag-time Festival, San Diego Thanksgiving Dixieland Festival, and The Roseleaf Club in Pasadena and Mon-rovia. He especially would like to thank the Roseleaf Club for giving him his start

as a solo act, back in 1999!The Aztec Hotel, is a

local historic building, built in 1925 located at 311 W. Foothill Boulevard in Mon-rovia, 3½ blocks west of Myrtle. Plenty of free park-ing at the west side of the hotel. Suggested donation -- $2.00 (performers are not asked to donate). Ragtime and related types of music, classic and contemporary, played on one or two up-

right pianos, as well as on other instruments. Attend-ees are encouraged to sup-port the hotel (which does not charge the club) by partaking of the reasonable all-you-can-eat buffet ($12.25 –beverage not included) or ordering a drink from the bar. Performers, listeners and dancers (there’s a small dance floor) are always wel-come.
