In Sierra Madre there is a unique volunteer spirit, perhaps quite

unlike any other city.As we honor our Vet-

erans Thursday, a small group of students is learn-ing about not only the ef-fects war can have on those on the battlefield and at home but also the intoler-ance man can have for his fellow man under extreme

conditions.By volunteering for

this project these students are learning not only the history of the garden but what happened to Japa-nese Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor - and what became of many of those who were sent to internment camps as a di-rect result of the military action.

Japanese-American internment was the move

and internment by the United States government in 1942 of about 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese who lived along the Pacific coast of the Unit-ed States to camps called “War Relocation Camps,” in the wake of Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. The internment of Japanese Americans was applied unequally through-out the United States. Japa-nese Americans who lived

on the West Coast of the United States were all in-terned, while in Hawaii, where more than 150,000 Japanese Americans com-posed over one-third of the territory’s population, 1,200 to 1,800 Japanese Americans were interned. Of those interned, 62% were American citizens.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt(FDR)

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger attended a job and resource fair at the Proud Bird Restaurant in Los Angeles Wednesday bring-ing together veterans seek-ing jobs, employers with job openings and resource agen-cies offering a wide range of employment services. The

job fair is part of the Gover-nor’s “Honor a Hero, Hire a Vet” initiative aimed at matching veterans with em-ployers and jobs.

“California is home to more veterans than any other state in the nation, and ensur-ing they can pursue a success-ful career path after service is

a top priority for our state,” said Governor Schwarzeneg-ger. “The brave men and women who risk their lives to protect our freedoms deserve our gratitude and help. I urge all California employers to reach out to veterans and be-come a part of the ‘Honor a Hero, Hire a Vet’ program.”

The focus of the fairs is to offer recently separated veterans one-stop access to career, training and educa-tion opportunities. Today’s fair is expected to bring out approximately 100 employ-ers, including Kaiser Perman-

At about 6:50 pm on Friday evening, 11/05/10, Arcadia Police Officers were called to a strip mall located in the 1000 block of South Baldwin Avenue, Arcadia, regarding a fight. The reporting party said that there were about 5 males involved in a physi-cal altercation. A second caller advised Police Dis-patchers that one subject had possibly been stabbed and that the suspects had fled in a vehicle. The sus-pects were described as 4-5 male Asians, late teens to early 20’s.

In recent months Coy-otes have been a source of heated debate at city coun-cil and at watering holes within Arcadia and many other foothill cities. The city of Arcadia recently adopted a controversial trapping and euthanasia program after a series of resident complaints of their pets being killed by coyotes.

Indeed it has been a growing concern for resi-dents and politicians alike. Many, however, feel that the trapping program is not

A Tribute To Veterans

Grub-stake

The Doozies

Over my lifetime I have known and loved many veterans from many wars, ranging from my father-in-law who served in World War I up to my grandson who served two tours in Iraq. In tribute to all those soldiers who have fought, and are still fighting, for our country’s freedoms I’d like to share a poem from an old Ann Landers column that I have saved for years:

Freedom is Not Freeby Major Kelly Strong

I watched the flag pass by one day,It fluttered in the breeze;A young Marine saluted it,And then he stood at ease.

I looked at him in uniform,So young, so tall, so proud;With hair cut square and eyes alert,He’d stand out in any crowd.

I thought... how many men like himHad fallen through the years?How many died on foreign soil?How many mothers’ tears?

How many pilots’ planes shot downHow many died at seaHow many foxholes were soldiers’ gravesNo, Freedom is not Free.

I heard the sound of Taps one night,When everything was still;I listened to the bugler play,And felt a sudden chill;

I wondered just how many timesThat Taps had meant “Amen”When a flag had draped a coffinOf a brother or a friend;

I thought of all the children,Of the mothers and the wives,Of fathers, sons and husbands.With interrupted lives.

I thought about a graveyardAt the bottom of the sea,Of unmarked graves in Arlington.No. Freedom is not Free!

The need for a Grub-stake during the California Gold Rush Days was com-mon for those thousands upon thousands of fortune seekers who found their way to California in search of gold.

Most of the prospec-tors were poor and needed a grub-stake of food and supplies to sustain them during their search for gold treasure. Many would make a deal to share their anticipated success with a general store owner or a wealthy acquaintance in exchange for credit to pur-chase the vital necessities required for their prospect-ing adventure.

The desire for a Grub-stake at my house is a total-ly different story! Not long ago I had the arduous task of transforming my back-yard from a bland look-ing expanse of grass into a serenely manicured lawn and rose gardens. My ele-gantly designed hybrid tea rose garden was stunning with its large rock mounds neatly planted. It was truly a “House Beautiful show-place. The ecstasy of my accomplishment however was short lived as it was hardly a week after com-pletion that I had an un-expected family visit. But unlike some of our poor family relatives that come

for a short visit and instead stay all summer these folks would periodically visit for an overnighter and then they would return again four or five nights later.

The overnight visitors were a family of Marsupi-als. They were ugly grey Opossums who appar-ently thought my yard was a Residential Buffet as they would come for a “Midnight Special” of Grub-Steaks without an in-vitation! These long pink nose varmints would bur-row giant holes in my rose garden plantings in search of grub-steak delicacies while belching down my leafy plants and gorging themselves on my French Cuisine of yard snails and worms.

While the Prospec-tors Grub-stake during the Gold Rush Era averaged about fifty dollars, the Grub-Steaks that I served-up to those Ugly Midnight visitors averaged about one hundred dollars per visit. Those critters turned my sculpted mounds into what appeared to be “Gi-ant Mole Holes” and the decorative rocks were rolled out of place as they enjoyed High Tea while they chewed the roots off my Hybrid Tea Roses.

My Oppossum diners also had a love for Mexi-can food as they feasted on the Chile powder that I peppered the flowerbeds with in hopes of discourag-ing their late night dining visits. At this point I was surely not playing pos-sum with my eradication programs. I tried every possible retardent includ-ing mothballs, ammo-nia soaked rags, cat and dog resisters, but nothing would dissuade those ugly long taled critters from vis-iting my scruptious yard. But as soon as the neigh-borhood fruit trees were picked of their fruit and became barren.... those midnight scavengers left my yard belching, smack-ing, and sniffing, in search of another convient Grub-steak dinner location.

Ellen, Bella, Sofia and I appreci-ate the opportunity to be part of this community and I am extremely appreciative of the opportunity you have entrusted to me.

Warmly,Anthony J. Portantino

Assembly Member, 44th AD

Information and infor-mation sharing is critically important to an elected official. Finding out what works well in some cities – and what doesn’t, and why – helps communities like Monrovia identify new solutions and opportunities. To that end, earlier this year I had an idea to pull together a group of Mayors from our region.

The vision was to have a Mayor’s workshop with our Congressmen David Dreier. A working meet-ing whereby each Mayor from the 26th Congressio-nal District could sit across from the Congressman and

conduct an honest discus-sion of the challenges facing our communities and how they relate to the Federal Government.

Our City staff and I spent the better part of the summer planning, schedul-ing and rescheduling this workshop; coordinating with Mayors, the Congress-man’s office, and review-ing potential topics for the meeting.

The vision became a reality at the Monrovia Public Library Community Room, on November 1, 2010. Even though this was the day before the mid-term elections, the Congressman

and thirteen Mayors of the seventeen cities in the Dis-trict embarked on this chal-lenging discussion.

During the two hour session, we divided the discussion into four main topics: Transportation and Transit, Job Creation, Pub-lic Safety, and Water and Open Space. Ultimately, we covered a wide range of important topics that af-fect our individual cities, in addition to the region, the state, and in some cases, the nation.

The main themes of the wide-ranging discussion were:

•The inability to re-

turn to the former process of using appropriations earmarks to secure federal funding for local projects. That said, the Congress-man indicated that the mas-sive transit/transportation appropriation “SAFETEA-LU” must and will move forward;

•The priority that the Gold Line Foothill Exten-sion and Alameda Cor-ridor East (ACE) have been among Congressman Dreier’s key projects. The Congressman will use every effort to close funding gaps for these hugely important projects;

•The harsh reality that

some programs – even pop-ular endeavors like the En-ergy Efficiency Conserva-tion Block Grants, – may be sacrificed in order to help rein in federal spending. However, the Congress-man was very interested in hearing from the Mayors about the effectiveness of the COPS program; and

•The need to preserve and protect wildland ar-eas and water resources in our region. Congressman Dreier discussed at length his Wilderness Preservation Initiative, as well as the re-authorization of the Water Resources Development Act.

In summary, this work-shop provided an excellent forum to have an open and direct dialogue with our Congressman, David Dreier.

The Mayors are grate-ful for the time the Con-gressman took away from his busy schedule – on the day before Election Day, no less. I am just as ap-preciative to the Mayors for their time and invaluable perspective.

The continued vision: that these beneficial work-shops continue as we all strive to move our com-munities, and the nation forward.

“Sueños de California” has the potential to be one of Sierra Madre’s most beautiful floats ever. Be-cause this year’s entry is so large, we are hoping to complete at least 35% of the decora-tion before Christ-mas. To reach this target The Sierra Madre Rose Float Association needs your help!

During the month of Decem-ber The SMRFA welcomes anyone who’d like to help decorate, but De-cember 18 and 19 are days when they especially need all hands on deck, so th speak.

Join the SMRFA for a Deco Blitz! Help deco-rate the spires of the mis-sion in oatmeal, cinnamon and sesame seed. Create

bark for palm trees and bougainvillea vines. Expe-rienced decorators might detail monarch butterfly wings with intricate pat-terns of orange lentil, rice and strawflower.

Work is avail-able for all experi-ence levels, how-ever they mainly need volunteers ages 14 plus. All minors must have a release form signed by a par-ent prior to work-ing. Release forms are available at the Float Barn. There’s no need to call ahead of time unless you are bringing a large group (more than 6 people).

Float decorat-ing is a lot of fun and creative, but it can be messy so wear your grubby clothes. Free lunch will be provided.

See you at the Sierra Madre Rose Float Association Blitz.

Go For Broke – Local Japanese American Chefs Team Up With Monrovia Business for Education

Chefs Roy Yama-guchi and Akira Hirose as well

as Stephen Kagawa, the President / CEO of Pacific Bridge Companies in Mon-rovia get involved in Go For Broke Education’s An-nual Evening of Aloha.

Guests who attend Go For Broke National Educa-tion Center’s (GFBNEC) Evening of Aloha gala din-ner can look forward to a meal created by Chefs Roy Yamaguchi of Roy’s inter-nationally acclaimed res-taurants and Akira Hirose of Pasadena’s critically lauded Maison Akira, fol-lowed by a special dessert from King’s Hawaiian Bak-ery and Restaurant. Eve-ning of Aloha is scheduled for Saturday, November 13, 2010 at the Hilton Ana-heim Hotel .

Leading the kitchen takeover, Chef Yamagu-chi’s culinary creations have been a highlight of the Evening of Aloha event for eight years. Yamaguchi is recognized worldwide for his Hawaiian Fusion© Cui-sine made from fresh local ingredients and European-style sauces with bold Asian spices. Chef Hirose has per-fected casual fine French dining with Japanese overtures. He consistently makes dining a delicious experience and has been rewarded with a coveted “excellent” rating from the tough Zagat 2010 critics. King’s has been treating Evening of Aloha guests to tastes of the Aloha Spirit every year since the event began in 2002. Its popular Hawaiian Sweet Bread is a

mealtime staple throughout the 48 mainland states and Hawaii while in Southern California, King’s walk-in bakeries and restaurants are local favorites.

Yamaguchi was born and raised in Tokyo, schooled at the prestigious Culinary Institute of Amer-ica in New York and men-tored by master chef Jean Bertranou and his right-hand Michel Blanchet at the incomparable L’Ermitage in West Hollywood, and he polished his cooking style of fusing French techniques with Japanese ingredients in some of Southern Cali-fornia’s most outstanding restaurants. He’s the son of a career military man from Maui and a mother from Okinawa. In addition to his restaurant empire, Yamaguchi is a cookbook author, television personal-ity and host of his own PBS television series, Hawaii Cooks with Roy Yamagu-chi. Yamaguchi is a former member of the GFBNEC Board of Directors and now serves on the organiza-tion’s Board of Governors.

Born in Kyoto, Japan, Chef Hirose honed his cu-linary talents in France as a student of world-renowned Chef Joel Rubochon, in the kitchen at Maxime’s of Paris, studying the art of pastry at Ecole de Lenotre and in Los Angeles at the unforgettable L’Orangerie. When he went back to Ja-pan and opened his own restaurant, it became one of the Top 50 French Res-taurants in the country. Returning to Los Angeles, Hirose gained a following

among patrons of some of the city’s best restau-rants. And in 1994, he had the privilege of creating a menu for the Emperor and Empress of Japan. Hirose’s hands-on cooking style at Akira has consistently earned awards and recog-nition from peers, diners and food critics, including the Southern California French Chefs’ Association Chef of the Year 1998 .

Union Bank and Toy-ota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., are presenting spon-sors for GFBNEC’s 9th an-nual Evening of Aloha. In addition to a delicious din-ner, the crowd-pleasing fun-draising event will feature Hawaii-style entertainment and a special program with the theme, Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Fu-ture.

Yamauchi, who served Alhambra as Mayor in 2007, is president and owner of Tri-Star Vend-ing in Alhambra. Tri-Star was singled out as Asian Pacific Islander Business of the Year for the 49th As-sembly District in 2004 and by Homeboy Industries as 2006 Employer of the Year. Yamauchi is actively involved with numerous community groups and is on the boards of several nonprofit and service or-ganizations. Among these many commitments, he has been a Japanese American National Museum honoree and honorary advisor for the organization’s annual dinner.

only not effective but actu-ally unnecessary. Some of the more vocal opponents to the Arcadia trapping program have been in touch with experts in the field and subsequently a free lecture is being of-fered at the Arboretum on Nov 30th at 6pm which at-tempt to educate Arcadian residents of the importance of coyotes

The presentation will in-clude a power-point presen-tation; a 30 min. screening

of the award winning docu-mentary American Coyote ~ Still Wild at Heart and ~ and 15-30 min. for questions and answers. The power-point presentation covers: Coyote ecology & biology, including the role coyotes play in dif-ferent ecosystems; Common causes of negative human-coyote encounters; Strate-gies for reducing negative human-coyote encounters & human-coyote coexistence strategies (and efficacy and history of different control

techniques and programs); The value of community-based conservation and ap-proaches to living with coy-otes and other urban wildlife issues.

American Coyote ~ Still Wild at Heart (30 min.)

In 2009, Project Coy-ote- in partnership with Liv-ing World Films- launched a new documentary, Ameri-can Coyote — Still Wild at Heart. This compelling thirty minute film produced by San-Francisco based film-

maker, Melissa Peabody, is a virtual case study of the coyote’s natural range expansion continent wide. While the film unfolds with the return of coyotes to the San Francisco Bay area, it pursues the coyote’s story across the North American landscape —from Northern California to New York City’s Central Park to Chicago, and points in be-tween.

Through interviews with coyote experts, ecolo-gists, and researchers, learned about the remark-able adaptability and re-siliency of this successful native carnivore and the challenges and opportuni-ties coyotes provide to both urban and rural communi-ties. Entertaining and infor-mative, American Coyote — Still Wild at Heart reveals the fascinating and complex world of Canis latrans— their keen intelligence, amazing resourcefulness, and impor-tance as keystone carnivores in many ecosystems.

Camilla H. Fox is the Founding Director of Project Coyote, a national non-profit organization that promotes educated coexistence be-

tween people and coyotes and advocates on behalf of all native carnivores. She is also a wildlife consultant for the Animal Welfare Institute and holds a Masters degree in Wildlife Ecology, Policy, and Conservation from

Prescott College. With over 15 years of experience work-ing on behalf of wildlife and wildlands, Fox is a nation-ally recognized leader in the field with expertise in native carnivore conservation and human-wildlife conflict miti-gation.

A frequent speaker on these issues, Camilla has authored more than 60 pub-lications and is co-author of Coyotes in Our Midst: Co-

existing with an Adaptable and Resilient Carnivore, and a contributor to the new book, New Era for Wolves and People ~ Wolf Recov-ery, Human Attitudes, and Policy. Her work on behalf of wildlife has been fea-

tured in several national and international media outlets including the Ger-man documentary, Coy-ote: The Hunted Hunter, three North American documentaries: Ameri-can Coyote- Still Wild at Heart, San Francisco- Still Wild at Heart, and On Nature’s Terms, as well as the New York Times, the BBC, NPR, Orion, USA Today magazine,

and Bay Nature magazine.Project Coyote pro-

motes educated coexistence between people and coyotes by championing progressive management policies that reduce human-coyote con-flict, supporting innovative scientific research, and by fostering respect for and un-derstanding of America’s native wild “song dog.” For more information: www.ProjectCoyote.org

This week, U.S. bor-der officials found a 1,800-foot tunnel

— roughly equivalent to six football fields in length — linking drug warehouses in San Diego, CA, and Tijuana, MX, and lead-ing to the seizure of more than 25 tons of marijuana. The tunnel, equipped with lighting, ventilation and a rail system, is neither the longest nor the most so-phisticated ever built (in the past four years, about 75 tunnels in various states of construction along the U.S.-Mexico border have been unearthed), howev-er it is one of the few in-stances in which authorities were able to seize drugs on both sides of the border. As a former federal pros-ecutor who prosecuted drug trafficking and illegal immigrant smuggling, Rep. Schiff recognizes the need to give prosecutors new tools to fight this traffick-ing. Today he released the following statement:

“In 2006, I joined my colleagues in introducing legislation to criminalize the construction or financ-ing of border tunnels, and language very similar to the House-passed bill was in-cluded in the FY'07 Home-land Security Appropria-

tions bill that was signed into law,” said Rep. Schiff. “The discovery of another tunnel this week should serve as a wake-up call for every Mem-ber of Congress. This is just not a problem for California and states contiguous to the Mexican border – it is na-tional one. Although these tunnels have been predomi-nantly used to smuggle drugs and illegal immigrants across the border, there is nothing

preventing their use for the smuggling of chemical, bio-logical or radiological mate-rial, posing an added threat to our national security. The 9/11 Commission, created and tasked with preparing a full and complete account of the circumstances sur-rounding the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, as well as recommendations designed to guard against fu-ture attacks, warned against

a failure of imagination. It takes little to imagine terror-ists making use of these tun-nels to cause us harm. Now is the time to take action to secure our borders, and I look forward to working with my colleagues on this national security impera-tive.”

Adam Schiff Renews Call to Secure Our Borders after 1800 ft Tunnel was Discovered

College Tips Scholarship Contest – Deadline Dec 7

The national contest sponsored by Entitle Di-rect Group runs through December 7, 2010.

Entitle Direct Group will award one winner its “signature” reduction of 35% off toward a semes-ter’s tuition (excluding room, board, & ancil-lary expenses and up to a maximum of $7,000). The Company is encouraging college students and high-school seniors (must be at least 17 years old) to sub-mit their best tip – up to 100 words – for navigating the college admissions pro-cess. The winner will be se-lected by a panel of judges evaluating the submissions based on selected criteria including originality and effectiveness.

Sample tips include:1. Before you apply,

take the time to be sure the school is right for you. Don't get bogged down agonizing over what the school wants from you. Take a step back, research the school and ask yourself how attending that school will help you meet your ac-ademic and personal goals.

2 Prove to the school that you will be a good

ambassador through your involvement.

3. Show how you were committed to your activi-ties in high school and how your responsibilities in-creased each year.

4. It's a huge mistake to try to be funny when applying to college. Trying to write funny admissions essays or cracking funny jokes in an interview does not usually work because, most of you (as you prob-ably know) aren't funny... but I'm funny, so my tip is... be yourself.

Timothy Dwyer, CEO of Entitle Direct Group and Founder of ENTITLE-DIRECT.com, states, “At ENTITLE DIRECT we have a passion for educat-ing people how to save money on their closing costs. In keeping with our mission, we are excited to initiate a scholarship con-test that will provide an op-portunity for one student to save money toward his or her education.”

To view the full contest rules and/or for students to enter, visit www.entitledi-rect.com/CollegeTips by December 7, 2010.

Entitle Direct Group offers prizes valued up to $7000

One Community, One BookThe evening pro-

gram, held October 22 at Arcadia Masonic Center, was a large undertaking and brought forth several worthy and informative endeavors. Joint sponsors

were Arcadia Historical Society, Arcadia’s Best, Arcadia Chinese Asso-ciation, Arcadia Masonic Center and Chyten Educa-tional Services.

Assistance League of Arcadia Wine Tasting Fall Party

Assistance League of Arcadia recently held its annual Fall Membership Party at Red Carpet Wine in Glendale. The event in-cluded delicious food pro-vided by Danielson Cre-ations, a variety of wines for tasting and live jazz music. It was a relaxing atmosphere for members and their spouses to social-ize and take time off from the chapter’s many philan-thropic programs. Chair-men for this event were Jeri Beck, Blennie Daniel-son and Lisa Hedlund.

Assistance League of Arcadia (www.alarcadia.org), a chapter of National Assistance League (www.assisteanceleague.org), serves the needs of over 14,500 members of the community annually. The Arcadia Chapter provides programs that make it pos-sible for school children to concentrate on academics

rather than lack of proper clothing and supplies; for seniors and visually im-paired, the opportunity to gather and socialize, and for new mothers to receive much needed supplies and clothing for their new-

borns. Assistance League of Arcadia has been serv-ing the communities of Al-hambra, Arcadia, Duarte, Monrovia, Rosemead, and Temple City since 1954.

with Executive Order 9066, issued February 19, 1942, which allowed lo-cal military commanders to designate “military areas” as “exclusion zones,” from which “any or all persons may be excluded.” This power was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the entire Pacific coast, including all of California and most of Oregon and Washington, except for those in internment camps. In 1988, Congress passed and President Ronald Rea-gan signed legislation which apologized for the intern-ment on behalf of the U.S. government. The legislation said that government ac-tions were based on “race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leader-ship”. The U.S. government eventually disbursed more than $1.6 billion in repara-tions to Japanese Americans who had been interned and their heirs.

The lesson learned is that of tolerance and how things like prejudice can overwhelm a nation. The similarity of the anti-Muslim racism today is not lost on these young minds.

Teachers such as Helen Pontarelli are helping the stu-dents realize that tolerance of our differences is critical and compromise is the only solution to such matters.

The Upper Campus Ser-vice Club was started about five years ago by a parent who wanted the new middle school ( currently under con-struction) to have some of the same opportunities as es-tablished middle schools in the Pasadena Unified School district – the current project of the service club is the care and maintenance one of the Sierra Madre’s true historic monuments.

The original Japanese garden was built in 1931 by the parents of Japanese American students. The carefully constructed and peaceful garden vandalized and completely destroyed by adults who reacted to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

The sixth grade class of 1995 read about Sierra Madre history and discov-ered an article in the Los Angeles Times document-ing a garden at their school. Upon this discovery, they decided to restore it, under-took a massive fundraising

and labor effort to do just that. The students held car washes, bake sales, wrote let-ters, and sold origami cranes among other things to fund the reconstruction. They also performed the physical labor digging the bridge out of the mud and excavated the garden.

Enter Japanese-Amer-ican community member, Mr. Lew Watanabe. Lew became a central figure for the ambitious project. As a landscape gardener and unique Watanabe designed the new garden and led the reconstruction.

Through sales and do-nations, students were able

to raise enough money to rebuild the garden. On Sunday, February 4, 1995, the Japanese Garden was officially dedicated. The ceremony included 17 mem-bers of the class of 1931 and their teacher. The dedication ceremony included Taiko drumming, dancing, and a karate demonstrations.

The garden was named - Garden of Goodwill.

This year, Soozee has a small team of dedicated volunteer parents help-ing with Service Club, which has allowed them to start a new Garden Club--work includes maintain-ing the Japanese Garden properly, and caring for our Native landscaping. Amy

Whist, a parent at Sierra Madre School and a land-scape architect will also be working with the children and volunteers as well. The volunteer parents and teachers are currently work-ing to develop a program to train some of these stu-dents into garden docents. With the lower campus’s new Native Garden go-ing in, this landscape may become a showcase for water-wise gardening and use of California Natives. The group is working with Sue Hoskins on this project idea in collaboration with Dave Depinto of the SGV

Municipal Water District and Lisa Novick with Theo-dore Payne Outreach.

With the help of teacher Helen Pontarelli, a group of approximately 20 students are learning about the his-tory of the Japanese Zen Garden and Koi pond at the lower campus Elementary school.

Perhaps one of the most important lessons these chil-dren (and adults) learn is that of tolerance.

The destruction of the Japanese Garden after Pearl Harbor was hate-filled anger toward Japan and Japanese Americans who bore no ill will on the United States. The damage to a peaceful place had a significant im-

The City of Arcadia Recreation & Community Services Department in part-nership with the Arcadia Po-lice Department is offering a workshop for seniors on ways to protect themselves from becoming a victim of fraud. An old scam that preys primarily on the el-derly, sometimes called the “Grandparent Scam”, has found it way back to the area. In recent weeks, the Arcadia Police Department has taken a couple of reports on this type of scam, one of which involved an actual loss of money. Don’t become the next victim! Sergeant Davis from the Arcadia Po-lice Department will be talk-ing to seniors on ways to pro-tect themselves.

Consumers lose bil-lions of dollars each year to fraud. People over age 50 are especially vulnerable and account for over half of all victims, according to a study conducted by American As-sociation of Retired Persons (AARP). People who com-

mit these types of crimes, “con criminals,” often target older people knowing they have spent a lifetime earning their savings. Con criminals go wherever they can to find money to steal. They use ev-eryday tools—the mailbox, the telephone, the Internet—to reach into your pocket-book. You can help educate your friends, parents, and others by becoming familiar with some of the more com-mon scams and how they operate. Then share that in-formation with others.

The workshop will in-form you on what to do if you have questions on how to handle a situation and also give you tips on what to do if an unfamiliar person ap-proaches you at home. The workshop will be held at the Arcadia Community Center, 365 Campus Drive, Arcadia, CA 91007 on Tuesday, De-cember 7th at 10am.

For more information or to register, please call Arcadia Senior Services at 626.574.5130.

One Spirit Many Paths

National Education Cen-ter” (goforbroke.org). orga-nization was started many years ago as a way to honor the WWII veterans of Japa-nese descent. Since its in-ception, one of the primary goals of the organization is to teach the story of honor, patriotism and valor, using the story of these veterans. Many of the Japanese Americans on the west coast were sent to intern-ment camps, with Santa Anita racetrack being one of the relocation centers. Although the families of these veterans were placed in internment camps, many felt the best way to prove

their patriotism was to be a volunteer in the armed services. The 100th/442nd ultimately became the most decorated unit of their size in all of WWII, with 21 Medal of Honor recipients.

The 100th battalion came out of Hawaii, the 442nd from the camps. Other related units includ-ed the Military Intelligence Service (MIS), 522nd Field Artillery Battalion, 232nd Combat Engineer Com-pany, and 1399th Engineer-ing Construction Battalion. The phrase “Go For Broke” is a gambling term, and is similar to the phrase used today – “all in”. In other

words, if you are going to do something, give it your all – go for broke! This term was the motto for the 100th/442nd and all of the related units.

The Go For Broke National Education Center is holding its 9th Annual “Evening of Aloha” dinner being held on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at the Anaheim Hilton. The Din-ner Chair is Stephen Kaga-wa, the President and CEO of the Pacific Bridge Com-panies, with both Roy and Akira as the chefs.

Pasadena Man Dead after Collision on ScooterA 38 year old Pasa-

dena man riding a scooter was killed Tuesday night .

The scooter was travel-ing eastbound on Colora-do Boulevard at 7:15 p.m.

when a vehicle turned onto Colorado Boulevard from Melrose Avenue and hit the scooter.

Paramedics transport-ed the man to Huntington

Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. As of press time no other information or name of the victim had been released.On November

10th, Marines and Monrovia

High School students gathered to honor one of their own, Raul Mer-cado. Mercado was a graduate of the high school who died in Iraq in January 2006. It was a fitting day to paid trib-ute to Mercado as it was the 235th Birthday of the Marine Corps.

A week before Cpt. Robert Parry of the Cali-

fornia National Guard pre-sented the Monrovia School District with a flag for each school in the district. He had carried the flags with him when on active duty he was deployed to Afghanistan on a agricultural mission. The flags he carried saw the best and worst of war: the dedi-cation of an experimental farm and four days later, an ambush. The flay raised in honor of Mercado was of those which Parry had car-ried with him.

Marines in dress blues lowed the regular flag which flies over the school.

Taps were played by two Monrovia High School band members while the honor guard from the Ma-rine Corps saluted one of their own. The 1st Adjutant of the local VFW, David Brandley, along with the president of the MHS stu-dent body, David Worden then raised the flag Parry had brought to them.

Catch more Zzzzz….Improve Our Statistics

These are hectic times. On average, we eat more, work longer hours, and sleep less than most European countries. We “thrive” on stress, fast food, stimulants and little sleep. It is no co-incidence, then, that we also have the highest death rate from heart disease and obe-sity.

In fact, more sleep would lessen the need for stimulants (caffeine, prescription medi-cation), would increase the levels of the leptin hormone, and give the body more time to relax from stress.

So, how much sleep do we need? I asked ten of my clients how many hours of sleep they needed to feel good throughout the day. The average answer was 7 hours. Then, I asked them, in reality, how much sleep did they get?

The average answer was 5.5 hours. A study in Que-bec, Canada, showed that of the 740 men and women who were interviewed, those who reported getting

7 to 8 hours of sleep a night were leaner than those who reported 5 or 6 hours of sleep. This is due, in part, to the production of leptin.

Leptin is a hormone that is made predominately in the fat cells. The amount of leptin in the blood is directly proportional to the amount of body fat and is thought to decrease appetite. However, most obesity is characterized by resistance to leptin and its appetite-suppressing effect.

The participants who were getting less than 6 hours of sleep were thought to not be using leptin efficiently, therefore, their body fat per-centage was higher.

In another study docu-mented on www.shuteye.com, it reported that middle-aged women who slept an average of five hours or less nightly were more likely to have heart disease than wom-en who slept eight hours. This was stated to be because “sleep loss may increase hun-ger and affect the body’s me-tabolism, which may make it more difficult to maintain or lose weight.”

So, in answer to all of those who say “How am I supposed to fit in 7-8 hours of sleep a night?” I give you the standard answer to the same question about exercise: “Schedule it”.

“The ‘Honor a Hero, Hire a Vet’ fairs are now, more than ever, uniquely im-portant to our brave men and women who are returning from serving overseas,” said Victoria Bradshaw, Secre-tary of the Labor and Work-force Development Agency (LWDA). “Even though we are starting to see the signs of economic recovery, we cannot forget the courageous men and women who have placed their lives on the line to protect our freedoms. We are committed to allocating state resources to match these talented veterans with jobs that will open the way to a bright future.”

California is home to approximately 2 million vet-erans, the largest number in the nation. Veterans bring

with them unique work skills and character traits valued by employers. Young veterans are particularly in need of as-sistance. The 2009 California unemployment rate for vet-erans 18 to 24 years old was 25.9 percent, far above the 19.8 percent rate for nonvet-erans in the same age range, according to data from the federal Bureau of Labor Sta-tistics.

In its first three years, the multi-agency initiative in-cluding LWDA, CDVA, the Employment Development Department (EDD), the De-partment of Industrial Rela-tions’ Division of Apprentice-ship Standards and California Community Colleges, has linked approximately 12,000 veterans with hundreds of employers and employment resource agencies.

“One of the very best

ways to honor our veterans for their selfless service and sacrifice is to help them find meaningful career-oriented employment,” said Roger L. Brautigan, Secretary of the CDVA.

Arriving Officers found a 17-year old male Hispanic victim still at the scene, suffering from a stab wound to the torso. The victim was alert and was immediately treated by Arcadia Fire Department Paramedics who transport-ed the victim to a local hos-pital. The victim’s injuries did not appear to be life threatening.

Initial investigation in-dicates that the victim was seated in a business at the strip mall and was confront-ed inside that location by a lone male suspect. The two became involved in a physical fight which spilled into the parking lot. The initial suspect was joined by several additional male suspects who all attacked the victim. At some point during the attack, the victim was stabbed in the torso by an unknown object. The suspects then fled the scene in a late model, white Scion vehicle.

Although the victim is not known to have a gang affiliation, witnesses alleg-edly overheard the name of a gang being exchanged between the suspects as they fled. This did not appear to be a random act of violence as indications are that the initial suspect targeted his attack on the victim. The investigation is continuing.

Anyone with informa-tion on this crime is encour-aged to contact Arcadia Police Detectives at 626-574-5160. If you prefer to pro-vide information ANONY-MOUSLY, you may call “Crime Stoppers” by dialing 800-222-TIPS (8477), texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or using the tip page at Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers.

Stabbing

Oliver Goodall, a World War II pi-lot who flew with

the 47th medium bomber group and was best known locally as a member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen, has died, his grandson said Wednesday.

He was 88.Goodall entered the

service at Tuskegee in February 1943 but did not begin his training un-til 1944. He graduated in October 1944 as a multi-engine pilot and was as-signed to the 47th Bomber Group at Godman Field, Kentucky, in January 1945, according to an on-line biography posted by on the Tusgekee Airmen Foundation Scholarship Fund, where served as fund-raising chairman.

Despite a high turn-over of instructors and a lot of hard work, Goodall was able to attain his First Pilots rating in six months, his bio said. In 1945, Goodall was among 160 officers who were arrested when they violated orders and entered the Officer’s Club, which at the time was reserves for white of-ficers. The incident came to be known as the Field Mutiny.

The incident was trig-gered by a white com-manding officer’s orders prohibiting African Amer-ican officers from even talking to white officers. That and other instances of racism prompted Good-all and his fellow black air-men to stage what could be called a predecessor to the lunch counter sit-ins that helped spur the Civil

Rights Movement of the segregated South in the 1960s.

Funeral arrangements for Goodall were being made Wednesday, his grandson, Antoine Good-

all of Altadena said. Goodall will be

missed my many.

Oliver Goodall, 88Former Tuskegee Airman Eugene W. “Bud” Cow-

an, professor of physics, emer-itus, at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), passed away November 4 in Menlo Park, California. He was 90.

Cowan's research inter-ests included investigations of high-energy interactions of cosmic rays, air-pollution stud-ies, and studies of the earth's magnetism. He was noted for perfecting a cloud cham-ber capable of operating on a continuous basis. All cloud chambers depend on the condensation of a vapor on the charged ions left by the passage of a speeding particle. Previous cloud chambers had required a sudden, large drop in chamber pressure for condensation to occur, and this had to be followed by a rest period during which no observations could be made. Cowan's innovation eliminat-ed the need for the pressure decrease and thus eliminated the rest period.

Cowan was particularly proud of his work in the early 1950s on the Xi “cascade” par-ticle, the first doubly strange baryon. His cloud-chamber image clearly confirmed the existence of the particle and provided important input that led to the subsequent develop-ment of the quark model. His later work focused on the dy-namics of the mechanism that generates the earth's magnetic field.

Long recognized for the quality of his teaching, Cowan received the 1986 Associated Students of the California In-stitute of Technology (AS-CIT) Award for Teaching Excellence for his course on classical electromagnetism.

Cowan was born in 1920 in Ree Heights, South Dakota. After receiving his BS at the University of Missouri and his

SM at MIT, where he was an instructor in the radar school and at the Radiation Labora-tory, he came to Caltech in 1945. Cowan studied under cosmic-ray researcher and Nobel Laureate Carl Ander-son. Awarded his PhD in 1948, Cowan became a re-search fellow in 1948, an assis-tant professor in 1950, and an associate professor in 1954. In 1961 he was promoted to pro-fessor of physics and became an emeritus professor in 1986.

Cowan was awarded four patents, including one for his innovative cloud chamber. He was a fellow of the Ameri-can Physical Society.

In the Caltech commu-nity, Cowan was well known for his regular visits to the Caltech pool. “My father also walked the 2 1/2 miles to and from work for probably more than 50 years, and for much of that time also went daily to the Caltech pool and gym,” says his son, Glen, a particle physicist at Royal Holloway, University of London. “His fa-vorite hobby was hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains, and he was often one of the small group of hikers that walked to the physics picnic from the trail head in Sierra Madre. My father truly enjoyed being part of the Caltech community. I believe he was there almost every day from 1945 to 2008. Maybe that's some kind of re-cord.”

In 2008, Cowan and his wife, Thelma, moved from Pasadena to Menlo Park, California, to be near their daughter, Tina, a geneticist at Stanford University.

Cowan is survived by his wife of 54 years, Thelma Rasmussen Cowan; daughter Tina Cowan Hiltbrand and son Glen Cowan; and grand-children David and Karin Hiltbrand.

The victim had visible injuries and a check of the vehicle was conducted. Of-ficers found blood stains and clumps of hair on the car seat and floorboard. It was determined that the 40-year-old male Caucasian was the primary aggressor and was arrested for inflicting corpo-ral injury to cohabitant.

Around 11:40 p.m., units were called to In-N-Out, 420 North Santa Anita, regarding a male driver who had fallen asleep behind the wheel of a running vehicle in the drive-thru area. A 33-year-old Caucasian ad-mitted to taking Valium, and a field sobriety test in-dicated that he was operat-ing the vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance.

Shortly after midnight,

units responded to the 200 block of West Woodruff in regards to a residential bur-glary in progress. Four male suspects were seen fleeing the scene, and a perimeter was established. With the help of outside agencies, a yard-to-yard search was con-ducted and all four Hispanic suspects were apprehended. The suspects, between 16 and 19 years of age, were charged with residential bur-glary, obstructing/resisting, conspiracy to commit crime, and petty theft.

A victim came to the station around 8:05 p.m. to report a domestic violence incident that occurred in the 100 block of California. During an altercation, the suspect struck his wife in the face, choked her, and pushed her to the ground. A 36-year-old male Hispanic was subsequently arrested for inflicting corporal injury to spouse.Thursday, November 4:

At approximately 11:43 a.m., officers received a Lo-jack alert of a possible stolen vehicle in the vicinity. An area check was conducted, and the stolen car was found at Westfield Mall and two subjects were seen exiting the car. A 20-year-old male Hispanic driver was taken into custody for vehicle theft; a 20-year-old female Caucasian was charged with possession of marijuana and she was later cited and re-leased. Further investigation revealed that the driver had taken the car while his vic-tim/mother was asleep, and she reported her car stolen to the Baldwin Park Police De-partment. The mother later refused to press charges, so the driver was released.

A traffic collision oc-curred at Second and Win-nie around 4:40 p.m. A 48-year-old Caucasian male driver collided with several mailboxes, a telephone pole, and a vehicle. A record check of the subject indicat-ed that he was a convicted

felon, and a search of his vehicle revealed ammuni-tion, swords, spring-loaded knives, butterfly knife, dag-gers, multi-bladed knives, and throwing stars. The man was arrested for felon in possession of ammuni-tion, possession of prohibit-ed/dangerous weapons, and possession of switchblade/spring loaded knives.Friday, November 5:

Around 6:45 p.m., offi-cers responded to the 1000 block of South Baldwin re-garding an assault that just occurred. A victim was at-tacked by several male Asian suspects at the location. He was also stabbed in the torso and was transported to a hospital for treatment.

Shortly before 2:30 p.m., loss prevention person-nel from JC Penney advised that they had detained a man for theft.
