On Tuesday, April 12 Dan Hsu, Den Leader of Arcadia Tiger Scouts Pack 111 led a field trip for some Tiger Scouts last week to see the inner workings of their hometown newspa-per, Arcadia Weekly.

Arcadia Rota r ians heard a powerful message of inspiration and hope when Father Gregory Boyle of Homeboy Industries visited the club last week. With its mission statement of “Jobs not Jails,” Homeboy Indus-tries “assists at-risk and for-merly gang-involved youth to become positive and con-tributing members of soci-ety through job placement, training and education.”

Founded by Boyle as “Jobs for a Future” in 1988 while he was pastor of Dolo-res Mission in Boyle Heights, Homeboy Industries began as a jobs placement program for at-risk youth as an alter-native to gang involvement and violence.

small bakery in a run-down warehouse located across the street from the mission, we had our own business where we could hire the most challenging and difficult to place young people in a safe environment,” said Boyle. “The hope was while there they would learn job skills that would make them bet-ter candidates for permanent employment.”

As time went on, Boyle founded several other busi-nesses to help employ at-risk youth including Home-boy Silkscreen, Homeboy Maintenance, Homeboy Merchandise and Homegirl Cafe, collectively known today as Homeboy Indus-tries.

DeFlocked By Jeff Corriveau

The Doozies By Tom Gammill

A resident of one of Arcadia’s ret irement homes d ied recent ly. She was 105. Upon her death, it was discovered that absolutely no plans had been made - nada, zilch. When questioned about this, her 84 year old daughter responded. “Well, Mom has never been sick a day in her life. We just f igured she would never die.” Now that’s optimism.

Not many of us make it to 105, but some of us last longer than we t hought we wou ld . I

Today it is becoming more difficult to compre-hend the various Utility Services bills that most of us receive monthly. Nu-merous nickel, dime, and dollar charges are con-stantly being added. Most people are just too busy to spend the time to audit them. Many such bills are still being mailed to homes but as we become more “recycling conscious”, elec-tronically transmitted pa-perless billing is quickly becoming the way of the future and reviewing them becomes even more time consuming.

The monthly bills re-ceived from telephone, electric and water compa-nies are the most confus-ing. The variety of charges based upon hypothetical usage quotas are stagger-ing. Usage fees, surcharg-es, recycling charges, local, city and federal taxes and perhaps cable and Internet connections are all con-tributors to the mystique

Now That’s Optimism

Eighty today, dear Lord, and there’s so much I haven’t done....I hope dear Lord you’ll let me live until I’m 81.

But, if I haven’t finished all I want to do,Would you please let me stay awhile, until I’m 82?

So many places I want to go, so much I want to see,Do you think you could make it 83?

Many things I may have done, but there’s so much left in store,I’d like very much to live to 84.And if by then, I’m still alive--

Then I’d like to stay to 85.The world is changing very fast, so I’d really like to stick

And see what happens to the world when I am 86.I know, dear Lord, it’s a lot to ask, and it will be nice in heaven,

But I’d really like to stay around until I’m 87.I know by then I won’t be fast and sometimes I’ll be late,

But it would be oh so pleasant to be around at 88.I will have seen so many things and had a wonderful time,So I’m sure that I’ll be willing to leave at 89 (well maybe).

don’t know who said it f irst , but a lot have re-peated it since, “If I had known I was going to l ive this long, I would have taken bet ter care of myself.”

I have a friend who

just turned 80. She never took par t icularly good care of herself, but she ha s su re enjoyed her life. Now, she has some things that could be bet-ter, but also some that could be worse. So she, too, is optimistic and is looking forward to a few more years.

She a sked me i f I could repeat the follow-ing, which I used in a much earlier column, be-cause she lost her copy. ( I su spec t she rea l l y threw it away because at that t ime she thought 80 was a long way off ).

Now she has made it, so in honor of her 80th, here it is:

Phony Chargesin monthly bills. Adding to this dizzying dilemma are the many mysterious charges that frequent ly appear on our Bank and Credit Card Company statements as well.

I once overheard a business manager in one of the largest credit card companies expressing his concerns about the in-crease in fraudulent billing charges that are appearing on customer bills. Many of the fraudulent charges are relatively small and therefore most often go unrecognized.

I have been person-ally involved in receiving fraudulent charges placed on my telephone bill by unethical companies. As a retired AT&T communi-cations company manager, I receive as part of my retirement package free telephone services with the exception of city, state, and federal taxes. Since my phone service charges are relatively minor any significant monthly billing increase is easily recog-nized.

Despite the hundreds of letters, phone calls and comments singing the praises for the posture this pa-per took in the weeks preceding the recent city coun-cil election, there still is an element willing to take a sneering thrust at our reportage.

We were a bit taken aback by the indecorous remarks made on Bill Coburn’s website, sierrama-drenews.net. But we shall take no offense as we re-spect your right to say the things you feel, just as John Crawford also has said rights. Instead, we’ll shrug our shoulders and say, “Good, they’re reading the paper”.

For the small number of Sierra Madre citizens who may have missed it, here’s what Mr. Coburn had to say about our election coverage:

“I’m also a little disappointed in the Weekly. In my opinion, the Sierra Madre Weekly has, in its election coverage, taken some unneces-sary potshots. I think some of their election news coverage read like opinion pieces. News coverage should be fact based coverage; opin-ion should be clearly marked as editorial. It’s one thing if opinion is offered in a columnist’s column, an editorial (marked editorial), or an Op-ed commentary (marked Op-ed). But when it is written into what should be “Just the Facts” news coverage, you’re crossing a line. And much of what I read in the paper this week wasn’t categorized as Opinion or Editorial, and could easily have been perceived as being news reporting, yet it was full of opinion. And frank-ly, some of the opinions in this week’s paper, to my mind, lacked the civility and respect that the candidates (and the paper itself) have been calling for as we approached the election.”

For clarification: We ran several editorial pieces and did label them as such when appropriate.

With last week’s collaboration of Miller and Ste-phens’ post election coverage, we felt it fitting under the circumstances to take a little poetic license, if you will, with our coverage of what had become a free-for-all detestation festival which was spawned by a small tattle tale blogger and his dictatorial regime of double agent writers regarding the election.

We felt strongly in our convictions that the greater good was served by doing so, and we stand by our decision. In fact, Mr. Coburn’s assertion that we went too far smacks of little more than a shameless attempt to establish his coverage as the unbiased perspective in town. Here, we will agree with Mr. Crawford that this is far from the case.

Now that Crawford has clearly lost any chance at a seat on Sierra Madre’s council, he has spread his cyber- wings.

Here’s his latest mystic wisdom – while taking yet

another clairvoyant gash at the not-yet-seated, newly-elected council:

“We changed the title of this blog a little bit. Since Sierra Madre has now elected a city council that will work to diminish the role of our city hall in favor of a more consultant driv-en regional government approach”. But again, with our city soon to be folded deeply into the “collaborative” regional government system that coverage will need to be expanded.

Ouch, Mr. Crawford, that smarts! Sierra Madre’s newly-elected council deserves better than that, me-thinks. Oh well, you know what they say, consider the source.

And don’t hold your breath, faceless commenta-tors; I won’t address the personal invective. That was the week it was! And of course, it is nothing more than what it is!

The Sierra Madre Weekly, The Mountain Views News, Pasadena Star News and, yes, even Mr. Co-burn went after the furious tales of said local blogger turned council candidate in recent weeks, as did scores of concerned Sierra Madre residents.

Bringing to light news and information that may otherwise not have been discussed is what newspapers are all about. It is an open forum, of sorts, with let-ters to the editor, commentary and comments on out websites. One big difference between journalism and blogs is accountability. We are not anonymous. We have the courage of our convictions and the protection of the First Amendment.

In the post election world, we discovered that Mr. Crawford had not the good sportsmanship to thank his courageous opponents in what was such an indignant mêlée. In fact, he and his interminable pen pals contin-ue their wordy warfare. Some strike personally, while others molest more imprecisely. While we adamantly respect anyone’s right to speak his mind, we feel a few critical thinkers might deem it more appropriate to do so with a little more graciousness.

All we are saying is give peace a chance!Perhaps you could congratulate your opponents

and wish them well, offer your counsel in a construc-tive, less critical tone. Perhaps, just perhaps we’ll get some insight into each other’s thoughts instead of nasty and absolutely non-constructive name-calling that has torn the fabric of this small foothill community.

I, for one, will do my part by offering an olive branch to those who feel I was too austere.

Anyone who wants to run for public office becomes a target and the crossfire can be extremely painful.

This coming Tuesday a new council will be sworn in and changes will occur. Let us brush off our differ-ences and work together. I think we’ll all be happier, and certainly healthier!

On Tuesday April 20th, six students returned from Sacramento escorted by Pasadena Police Officers, but they’re not under escort for having caused trouble. They are returning from a four day trip dubbed the “Sacramento Expe-rience” sponsored by the California and Pasadena Police Activities Leagues (Cal PAL and Pasadena PAL) The students were chosen from a group of 15 who attend the Pasadena PAL after school program.

“We’ve really emphasized grades this year,” says Corporal Glenn Thomp-son, Pasadena PAL Program Direc-tor. “In order to qualify for this, we required at least a 3.0 GPA and the

students had to complete an essay that was judged by the PAL Staff.

The PAL program is conducted in partnership with The Salvation Army Pasadena Tabernacle. Grades and personal development are a priority and homework is the first item on the agenda every school day. “We’ve seen a marked improvement in grades be-tween the first and second semester,” says Corporal Glenn Thompson. If anyone of them is struggling we provide tutoring and homework assistance as needed. Once the “work” is done then they have myriad of activies to choose from to stimulate them physically, men-tally and emotionally.”

For sixty-three years, Camp Shi’ini has provided active and entertaining camp activities for boys and girls without a prolonged absence from home. According to camp organizers, the goal is to provide an enjoyable and safe environment for children, while also educating them about Native American folklore through interac-tive and action-packed surroundings.

Camp Shi’ini is a Native American Indian themed day camp that lasts five weeks each summer. Shi’ini, pronounced “Shee-nee,” is a Navajo word meaning “Summer People.” This theme is por-trayed in several daily events, includ-ing horseback riding, fishing, canoeing, archery, bear hunting, athletics, hiking, games, crafts, swimming, and an extraor-dinary month-long treasure hunt adven-ture. While at camp, children are broken into various groups according to their ages. Each of these groups functions as a separate unit throughout the day. There are a dozen groups, each composed of 12 campers and two counselors.

Due to our limited number of camp-ers, Camp Shi’ini is able to offer a great variety of activities with more individual supervision. Some examples of these in-clude Indian lore, cookouts, nature hikes, and unique games and sports. Both a senior and junior counselor is assigned to each group. At Camp Shi’ini, senior counselors are hired on the basis of ideals,

college records, maturity, experience, oc-cupation, driving records, and the ability to understand children. Junior counsel-ors are hired on the basis of leadership, character, attentiveness, dependability, and overall experience working with kids. Both sets of counselors are well-trained and take great pride in their jobs and love working with the campers.

Counselors pick up campers from their homes in new, seat-belt equipped vans between 8:30-9:20 a.m. Campers are returned home between 3:50-4:40 p.m. With safety being a top-concern, each van driver must go through an extensive training course and earn a California Commercial Class B Drivers License from the California DMV.

The shaded areas and turf fields of the lower Arroyo Seco have been the primary location of the camp for many years as it is one of the few remaining primitive areas in the vicinity. Arroyo Park (located on Stoney Drive in South Pasadena) affords the perfect atmosphere for most camp activities.

Since 1947, Camp Shi’ini has de-veloped an outstanding legacy, creat-ing childhood memories bound to last a lifetime. It is truly an experience that captivates the hearts and imaginations of every camper. More information can be obtained by calling (626) 922-0945 or visiting www.campshi-ini.com.

Summer is coming and the great white north is calling. In fact, if you lis-ten closely you can almost hear roaring grizzly bears, splashing killer whales, rus-tling moose, and squawk-ing bald eagles – all doing their best to attract tourists to share in the splendor of Alaska.

I answered the call of the wild last summer when I took a land tour of “last frontier” via a mixture of trains and coaches running through beautifully rugged interior.

The journey began in July, when a friend and I flew to Fairbanks and met up with representat ives from Gray Line of Alaska, a tour company associated with Hol land Amer ica Cruise Line. We then took a comfortable charted bus to the Westmark Hotel in Fairbanks.

After checking-in, we explored the small town

charm of Fairbanks, where gold mining history coex-ists with art deco buildings, native peoples and rugged individuals. Located 358 miles north of Anchorage at the end of the Alaska Highway, Fairbanks sees remark-able temperature fluctuations, ranging from 65 degrees below zero in the winter to more than 90 degrees in the summer.

In the morning we drove to historic Gold Dredge No.8, where between 1928 and 1959, hundreds of thou-sands of ounces of gold passed through the five-deck dredge, which functioned as a gigantic mechanical gold pan. Our tour featured a wooden train ride through an actual mine used in the early 1900’s, real gold-panning and a hearty miner’s lunch of stew and biscuits.

The next day we visited the world-famous Alaskan

Pipeline. A marvel of engineering, the 800-mile-long pipeline was built to move oil from the North Slope of Alaska in Prudhoe Bay to Valdez. Along the way, the pipeline crosses three mountain ranges and 800 rivers and streams.

Our next excursion was a paddlewheel cruise down the Chena River and encountered a dog sled training operation, an Alaskan boat plane pilot, and an authentic Native Alaskan village.

We then boarded the McKinley Express. Operated by Holland America, the two-story dining-lounge cars are highlighted by glass domed roofs which blend into the train’s large side windows, providing riders incredible 360-degree views of the Alaskan landscape.

On our four-hour trip to Denali National Park, we

past lush forests, r ivers and streams lined rocks and beaver houses, lonely bridges, grazing moose, bald eagles, Alaskan peaks covered with snow, and opaque lakes shimmer-ing in the middle of lost meadows.

At Denali Nat ional Park we checked into the McKinley Chalet Resort, overlooking the gorgeous Nenana River, in the shad-ow of Mt. McKinley. From here we explored the park and the tiny town of Tal-keetna.

The next day we met Iditarod champion Mar-tin Buser and his dog sled team. We then visited Ke-nai Fjords National Park, near Seward, where we took a cruise deep into the fjords. During the voyage we drifted past towering glacier ice and encoun-tered bald eagles, sea ot-ters, sea lions, hump back whales, and an pod of killer whales.

Recipe Box ReflectionsBy DeBorAH Ann neely

Salads are a great ad-dition to any meal; some-times of course a salad is the meal. Any salad greens you prefer can be mixed with a variety of chopped meats and vegetables. I love to serve a salad to begin a meal and it is even better to take the time to make it special with small addi-tions like roasted pecans or almonds. My favorite sal-ads are also special to look at with a real surprising ingredient. When I serve mixed greens, I always try to have the ingredients to do a crisp salad with apple and warm brie. It feels like such a treat so I serve it to my family just to add a spark to a regular “school-night” dinner.

Mixed Greens and Apple Brie Salad

You’ll Need:1 Red or Golden Delicious apple, thinly slicedApple juice4 thick-cut slices of bacon1/4 cup apple juice1/4 cup balsamic vinegar1 T brown sugar8 oz. round Brie cheese2 T brown sugar1/4 to 1/2 cup pecans, chopped6 cups mixed greens

Directions:Dip the apple slices

into a bowl of apple juice to prevent them from brown-ing. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp. Remove and drain the bacon on pa-per towels. Drain the skillet except for 2 T bacon drip-pings. Add 1/4 cup apple juice, balsamic vinegar, and 1 T brown sugar to the drippings in the skillet and heat until the sugar dis-solves. You will need to stir constantly. Place the Brie cheese on a baking sheet and cut it into 6 wedges. Sprinkle with 2 T brown sugar and the chopped

Now you are ready to serve! Divide the mixed g reens among 6 sa lad plate. Arrange the apple slice and a wedge of Brie cheese on each. Drizzle the salad dressing from the skillet and sprinkle with your bacon crumbles.

This salad is a hit and makes your family feel like any night is like an evening to celebrate something even if you are just glad to have everyone at the dinner table at the same time.

Even a re s t au ra nt cr i t ic must somet imes use their radar to navi-gate as they f ly, and that is what I did this week. For, I blindly landed in the Cham Korean Bis -tro off Lake ave. When I hear Korean Food and Bistro, a few circuits and a couple transistors fry. Th i s i s not t he t rad i -tional marriage that the Koreans have repeatedly announced. A f ter t he fog f inally cleared, my eyes feasted upon a Bis-tro/Korean restaurant. It was only then that I dis-covered a tranquil and t idy restaurant set t ing. The dinning area was Southerners dream, as the upscale wood tables and wood chairs hinted at the beauty of a back-yard picnic. Though the seating was modest and understated, I was soon to be greeted with some of the restaurants more tangible attributes. The f i rst i s the Menu, you don’t need your reading glasses for this, in fact, it very easy to read, just lookup, and there a giant menu challenges your ap-petite. The casual char-acter of this restaurant is further enhanced as you order and then find a seat and the food is brought directly to your table.

Let me start by say-ing, I had a lot of ques-tions about Korean food. The only exper ience I had with Korean food was a t t he same loca -t ion when it was Seoul Brothers. It is fitting that one Korean restaurant fell and another one was there to carry the f lag. Make no mistakes, the former and the latter are the dif ference between black and white and color pictures. I was fortunate; for I had the opportunity to have a sit down with one of managers, Jerry, and he helped me navi-gate through the menu. Lucky for you that he was there. It was intriguing to learn about the food and Jerry is definitely a passionate teacher. It is obvious that they care about their customers. The Koreans must be renowned for their kind-ness because this restau-rant serves a large plate

of that. I opened my mea l

with an incredible and del icious Tofu pocket , topped with succulent B lue Crab ($1. 50). A g reat beg inn ing! Th is may have been the best buck f i f t y t hat I have spent since the Car ter Presidency. Another win-ner was the Bulgogi with glass noodles in a pot. Yes, a real pot for ($12), th is i s coupled with a small salad. It was soon after this dish that I dis-covered my favorite; on my f i r s t v i s i t too, t he Garden Platter. You have a choice of meat , f ish, or tofu. I selected the Spice Ahi Tuna at ($11). This reminds me of the refreshing lettuce wraps that you would find at a Chinese restaurant. Here they deposit before you a bounty of fresh butter lettuce, ahi tuna, cabbage pick les , sesame leaves

and sweet potato noo -dles. The Korean taco!

Koreans have a real love for the potato and it shows. Let’s not confront the Irish with this real-ity. For dessert I had the Sweet Potato Cheesecake for ($3), a g reat pr ice and a fantast ic dessert. Cham of fers a revolv-ing list of delicious des-serts. During the Joseon Period, the structure of thinking about the way people interact with oth-ers evolved. Through a series of invasions and the movement of agr i -cultural innovat ions, a distinct shift in thinking occurred that allowed the potato to be introduced. Trade expanded to other countries during this pe-riod for the inhabitants of what is now Korea, found to thei r del ight that the potato is a robust vegetable and can grow on most terrains. It was

little history on comfort

foods. I know that in Ja-pan, Curry is considered a comfort food; much like

meat loa f and mashed potatoes is for Amer i -cans. So what is Korean Comfort Food? Jerry tells me, that it is Korean Rice Cakes “Topokki” ($7), but not all Korean restau-rants serve this item.

The prices are rea-sonably here and this a dining experience unlike any you have encoun-tered. You will not leave here with cologne of Ko-rean Barbeque. Here they focus on healthy dining, and organic items with a unique Korean f la ir. Cham Korean Restau-rant may be the perfect cure for the rut of boring lunches. I know I’ll be back for the Korean Stew ( J JHIM) ($12), Short Rib Stew.

Possessing a navy hue and a powerful punch, the blueberry is one of the most potent and popular disease fighters available. Now, City of Hope researchers have found another weapon to add to the blueberry’s arse-nal of disease-fighting prop-erties: the ability to control tumor growth, decrease metastasis and induce cell death in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. The study will be published in the May 1 edition of Cancer Research, but is currently available on the journal’s Web site.

TNBC is a specific sub-type of cancer that is lack-ing in estrogen, progester-one and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) receptors. Since most stan-dard, successful breast cancer therapies target one or more of these receptors, TNBCs are dif f icult to treat. TNBCs account for approximately 15 percent of all breast cancers and generally carry a poorer prognosis compared to other subtypes with recep-tors present.

“We observed that blueberries help fight tri-

Blueberries Hold Cancer-Fighting Properties

ple-negative breast cancers by suppressing pathways crit ical to tumor devel-opment and migration,” said Shiuan Chen, Ph.D., director of City of Hope’s Division of Tumor Cell Biology.

Chen, research fellow Lynn S. Adams, Ph.D., and their colleagues ap-plied blueberry extracts to TNBC cel l cultures and found that blueberry extract not only inhibits proliferation and mobility in TNBC cells, it also led to cell death (apoptosis) at over twice the rate of un-treated cells.

Chen, Adams and oth-

ers then tested blueberry extract’s effectiveness in laboratory animal mod-els. The researchers found that the blueberry group’s TNBC tumor weight was 70 percent lighter than the control group and it also exhibited significantly low-er proliferation and higher apoptosis activity.

“These resu lt s a re promising because they demonstrated that the an-ticarcinogenic compounds are effectively absorbed when consumed ora l ly and still have an impact on the cancer cells, and the amount given is equivalent to a 130-pound adult con-

suming about four ounces daily” said Chen. “Our team is hopeful that future research will identify the specific compounds in the fruit responsible for this action, as well as further investigating blueberries’ potential to slow down the progression and spread of this difficult form of breast cancer.”

Chen and h i s col -leagues are currently plan-ning a human cl in ica l trial to test blueberries’ effect on breast cancer, in addition to research on the anticancer properties of other fruits and veg-etables.

Southland homeown-ers who lost their homes to foreclosure may soon get a break on their taxes under leg islat ion co-authored by Assemblymember An-thony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge) and passed by the Assembly. SB 401 (Wolk) will exempt California homeowners from having to pay taxes if they short-sold their homes or received a “benefit” from having their home foreclosed.

“We hope the Gover-nor will sign this bill as soon as possible to provide some relief for homeown-ers in our district who are struggling with large tax bills as a result of losing their homes,” stated As-

semblymember Portantino. “We don’t want to penalize these former homeowners a second time; we want to help them get back on their feet. Federal law already excludes “forgiven debt” from taxable income and we want to do the same for Californians.”

Assemblymember Por-tant ino a lso expressed hope that the Governor would sign the bill before the April 15 deadline for filing taxes.

This bill brings Cali-fornia into conformity on a host of other technical issues including tax incen-tives to create ‘green’ jobs through renewable energy projects waiting to break ground.

Portantino Co-Authors Tax Relief Measure for Homeowners

The City of Duarte will install energy efficiency im-provements at various City facilities with no up-front costs. The savings in energy and maintenance costs will pay for the improvements and produce an average annual savings of $34,700. An energy audit conducted by PacificWest Energy Solu-tions, Inc. identified the proj-ects that would generate the most savings using stimulus grant funds, utility rebates and a low interest loan that will be repaid solely using cost savings.

“The improvements pro-posed will produce energy savings for the City while implementing an environ-mentally responsible solu-tion to upgrading our aged facilities,” said Duarte City Manager, Darrell George.

Of the project’s total $499,214 cost, $122,117 will be paid from Energy Ef-ficiency and Conservation Block Grant funds that have been approved for the City as part of the American Recov-ery and Reinvestment Act. Approximately $20,915 will be paid from utility rebates. The remaining $356,182

L.A. Garden Show Salutes the Home Gardener

A succulent seascape by landscape designer Jeff Moore of Solana Beach - Photo by Bob Wigand

This weekend, from Friday, April 30 to Sun-day, May 2, 2010 the L.A. County Arboretum & Bo-tanic Garden in Arcadia will play host to “Living Green: Essentials for the Home Gardener”. The event is meant to show participants how to take a more eco-friendly ap-proach t o ga rden ing. According to event orga-nizers, green is no longer just the color of plants found in the garden; it’s about saving water and energy, changing the way we garden, growing more of ou r own food and creating beautiful land-scapes with less thirsty plants and grasses.

This year’s highlights will include a new garden by renowned landscape designer Nancy Goslee Power, a succulent sea-scape by Jeff Moore of Solana Beach, d isplay gardens by other land-scape designers includ-ing Nick Williams, Law-rence Z iese , Ju l i a nna Roosevelt, Kevin Mack, Sarah Peterson and Sam-my Castro.

The weekend event

will also include lectures, demonstrations a market-place for all things gar-dening-related as well as California native plants and other drought toler-ant f lowers, shrubs, and trees and everything you ever know about growing your very own edible -filled victory garden.

T h i s y e a r’s L . A . Ga rden Show w i l l be held at the Los Angeles Count y A rboret um & Botanic Garden, 301 N. Baldwin Ave. Arcadia, CA on Apr i l 30, May 1 and May 2 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Early 8:00 a.m. ad-mission is available for

a l l current Arboretum members. Those inter -ested in becoming mem-bers can call (626) 821-3233 or visit arboretum.org.

Admission is $8.00 to $3.00, Free for Ar -boretum members. Pre-ferred parking $10. Free with shutt le service.

Duarte to Install Energy Saving Improvements

will be financed through a California Energy Com-mission Loan program that provides 15 year financing at a 1% interest rate. Repay-ment of the $385,335 loan will be derived solely from the energy savings generated by the project.

Proposed facility im-provements will include: Lighting and Heating, Ven-tilating, and Air Condition-ing Systems replacements and upgrades for City Hall, Community Center, Fitness Center, South Maintenance Yard, Senior Center and Fit-ness Center; Building Con-trol optimization for the City Towne Center, North and South Maintenance Yards, Senior and Teen Center, and two Recreation Center build-ings; retro-commissioning of older mechanical equipment and pool pump and filtration optimization.

“The energy we will be saving by making these changes would be the equiv-alent to planting 3,872 trees, removing 28 cars from the roadways, reducing CO2 emissions by 151 metric tons, and supplying power to 14 homes,” said George.

which would follow elec-tion results in both Arcadia and Sierra Mare.

As staff photographer, Terry Miller captured the scouts’ enthusiasm with his digital Single Lens Reflex camera. He then showed the boys and girls how the images just made will end up in the final layout of the paper.

John Stephens, man-aging editor of Beacon Media’s five weekly news-papers, then placed the images Miller shot on a digital page on a computer screen in preparation of layout. As editor, Stephens chose an image of Leander Lu, Efrain Berrios, Jacob Hsu reading a recent print edition.

The Scouts seemed t o enjoy meet i ng t he staff of Arcadia Weekly and getting their pictures in the local paper was an unexpected, added bonus.

important impact on the Los Angeles gang problem and has become the largest gang employer in the world, currently employing 437 gang members represent-ing some of the area’s 1,180 different gangs.” This, how-ever, provides just a fraction of the jobs needed for the nearly 12,000 people who walk through Boyle’s doors each year.

“Thousands of young people have come to Home-boy Industries looking for a second chance, and finding community,” he said. “Gang affiliations are left outside as these young people work together, side by side, learn-ing the mutual respect that comes from shared tasks and challenges.”

Boyle told the Rotar-ians a common experience at Homeboy Industries is “Homies” working together who consider themselves enemies.

“One would say, ‘I’ll work with him, but I’m not going to talk to him,’” said Boyle. “Later, they find it impossible to work together without talking to each other.”

Father Gregory Boyle Visits Arcadia Rotary

Boyle told club mem-bers from his experience the problem in Los Angeles is not gangs per se, but rath-er an absence of hope.

“No hopeful kid ever joins a gang. When a kid joins a gang, they are always fleeing from some-thing,” he said. “Thus the purpose of Homeboy In-dustries is not so much for kids that need help as it is for those who want it. And

of those that work it, there’s 100% success.”

He then went on to share the many success sto-ries he has witnessed over the years.

“And I have even learned from them as well,” said Boyle, citing the art of text messaging.

“Father Greg is one of the most remarkable men of our time! He crosses so many boundaries and

achieves so much good in areas that others would never go,” said Rotarian Eric Barter. “Getting thou-sands out of gangs and into real lives where they don’t die! He lives this every-day! Los Angeles is so very lucky!”

Boyle received an ex-tended standing ovation from members at the con-clusion of his remarks and was presented a Rotary-

themed ceramic bank on behalf of the club by presi-dent Imy Dulake.

“Our club is very hon-ored to have you here to-day,” she said. “The work you do and the many lives you change is truly inspi-rational.”

Proceeds from Boyle’s book, “Tat toos of t he Heart,” are used to help keep Homeboy Industries operational.

PASTOR ROGER SONNENBERGHANDICAP ACCESSIBLE - CHILD CARE AVAILABLE

OUR SAVIOR LUTHERAN CHURCH512 W. Duarte Road, Arcadia

(626) 447-7690

In December, of 2009 my telephone bill jumped up over $25.00. The item on the memo billing was shown as OAN services. My inquiry to the company was pleasantly received and they explained that I had made an Internet services purchase and that since AT&T is my serving telephone company they handle the billing for the OAN services company. My explanation that I al-most never shop the In-ternet and since I receive free telephone services, that this billing item was certainly an error on their part. Hearing my valid explanation the OAN rep-resentative agreed to credit back the charges in ap-proximately 60 days, which to this date has never oc-curred.

I was stunned when I contacted AT&T with this information to confirm

what had erroneously been applied to my bill? This type of FRAUD was not new to AT&T as there are several companies that are being investigated for similar “Phony Charges”. I was complimented for informing the AT&T rep-resentative as it was ex-plained that generally any

TheGoodLife

Phony Chargescomplaint calls to OAM and the other questionable companies involving bill-ing irregularities are most often ignored. In all cases AT&T must file a request for refund from those com-panies in order for billing to be adjusted! I was told that these unethical com-panies are regularly ex-changing confidential ser-vice records information. The commonly known myth that lightening will not strike in the same lo-cat ion twice was again proven false as a third fraud charge appeared on this months phone bill. It was applied by a company identified on my current AT&T monthly bill as ILD teleservices in the amount of Twenty-Seven Dollars and Twenty Cents.

The AT&T representa-tive told me that thousands of dollars in fraudulent charges occur each month. Companies earn enor -mous amounts of money by submitting very small charge amounts that regu-larly go unrecognized or forgotten because of the inconvenience to pursue the offense. This is reason for everyone to beware of these insidious crimes and to diligently review their monthly paper statements and those vulnerable elec-tronic bills for accuracy!




only the race track but Arcadia itself and how the two are forever intertwined thanks, in no small part, to Elias Baldwin who was Arcadia’s very first mayor in 1903.

As the morning pro-g ressed, Hal l of Fame Jockey Mike Smith spoke candidly and with humor about his incredible career and in particular that day he rode Zenyatta to victory in last year’s Breeders’ Cup classic. A video pre-sentation of that incredible race let to a standing ova-tion for Smith.

Another guest speaker who Mayor Wuo intro-duced was David Milch

Mayor’s Community Breakfast Raises Much-Needed Funds

whose television writing is legendary. Milch is cur-rently working on a pilot for HBO at the race track w ith Dust in Hof fman. Describing his business, Milch said that he hoped that this was the beginning of a long relationship with

Santa Anita and Arcadia and hopes to do many more productions in town. Milch also announced that he’ll donate $10,000 to the Arcadia Campership Program which provides financial assistance to eli-gible youth to attend camp

and other activities in the summer months that they would otherwise not be able to afford.

The morning finished with two songs by Carrie Qiu who is the winner of 2009 Arcadia’s Got Talent competition.

as Arcadia’s First were perphas on of the most vo-cal opponents siding with Westfield in an attempt to prevent Caruso from building his dream here.

The project faced mordant antagonism from Westfield Group, which sued over the project and funded ballot measures to slow it down.

However Arcadia City Council voted for its ap-proval unanimously and yet the project has since been on hold for several years.

Magna Entertainment recently worked its way through bankruptcy. Several lawsuit s have a lso stalled the project’s groundbreaking.

Track Owner Magna Entertainment Corp. Backs Out of Shops at Santa Anita Project

Arcadia approved the project leaders have been eager for Caruso to build the mall, which would oc-cupy an empty parking lot in the middle of town, generate millions in sales tax revenues, and perhaps even revitalize the racetrack.

Two City Councils and four Mayors later and still the Shops project is in limbo.

Councilman Bob Harbicht said that he and the Council would be looking into Magna’s departure from the Shops at Santa Anita and promised the community to try to get the sides talking again and get the project started. The city stands to garner a considerable amount of tax revenue from such a project.

POLICE BLOTTERS

Arcadia PD

For the period of Sun-day, April 11, through Sat-urday, April 17, the Police Department responded to 839 calls for service of which 125 required formal inves-tigations. The following is a summary report of the major incidents handled by the Department during this period.

Sunday, April 11:

1. Shortly before 3:30 p.m., units responded to the 600 block of Arbolada in reference to a theft that occurred during an open house. The victim hid a diamond watch and neck-lace in a drawer prior to the open house. Several hours later, she discovered that the watch and necklace were stolen, along with 15-18 pre-scription pills. The realtor advised that while she was pre-occupied showing the house to a family, a male Caucasian, 50’s, entered the home and was allowed to browse around the house unsupervised for a brief pe-riod. The total reported loss was about $4,500.

2. Officers were dis-patched to the 800 block of West Huntington around 10:17 p.m. to investigate a battery and grand theft incident. The victim ad-vised that during a verbal argument, her ex-boyfriend, a 27-year-old Caucasian, grabbed her arm, causing visible bruising. He then fled the location with her laptop computer, Fendi handbag, $300 cash, cell phone, and car/house keys.

Monday, April 12:

3. Between 7:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., a residential burglary occurred in the 600 block of West Wistaria. Un-known suspect(s) forced open a rear window to enter the home. The suspect(s) rum-maged through drawers and closets and stole jewelry and a safe containing firearms and cash.

4. Around 11:32 p.m., officers observed a car swerv-ing in the roadway and initi-ated a traffic stop at Live Oak and Santa Anita. A 48-year-old male Hispanic driver was contacted and the odor of an alcoholic beverage was detected on his breath and person. A field sobriety test determined that the driver

was operating the vehicle while under the influence, and a DMV check revealed that his license was suspend-ed for DUI. The man was taken into custody without incident.

Tuesday, April 13:

5. Units were called to Chase Bank, 60 East Hun-tington, around 9:24 a.m. in reference to a fraud inves-tigation. The victims were unable to check their bank account information online until they reset their pass-word. They then discovered that unknown suspect(s) had created joint accounts using their personal information and made $6,200 in phone transfers from the victims’ accounts to the fraudulent accounts.

6. Around 12:40 p.m., a victim came to the station to file a fraud report. An 89-year-old victim discov-ered that a suspect, possibly a previous housekeeper, made over $16,000 in unauthorized purchases by using her credit card information.

Wednesday, April 14:

7. A residential burglary and vehicle theft occurred between 10:00 p.m. on April 13 and 5:40 a.m. on April 14. Unknown suspect(s) entered the house through a sliding glass door and stole a laptop computer and gaming equip-ment. The suspect(s) found a car key and stole a 2006 Mercedes from the garage. The car was recovered on April 15 in the 200 block of West Norman with major front end damage.

8. At approximately 10:17 a.m., units responded to a business located in the 11700 block of Goldring in reference to a commercial burglary that occurred be-tween 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on April 11. The sus-pect pried open the locking mechanism to a metal rollup door and stole several nitro/electric powered helicopters, airplanes, and racing cars for a total reported loss of about $8,860. The burglary was captured on surveillance video.

Thursday, April 15:

9. Between 5:30 p.m. on April 14 and 7:00 a.m. on April 15, a residential bur-glary occurred in the 400 block of Sharon. Unknown suspect(s) pried open a rear

door of a house that is cur-rently under construction and stole about $1,000 in miscellaneous tools.

10. Officers responded to Arcadia High School, 180 Campus, around 3:00 p.m. in reference to a student in pos-session of a controlled sub-stance. A school administra-tor received an anonymous tip about a 14-year-old male Hispanic in possession of Ecstasy tablets. The student was detained and the pills were found in his possession. The juvenile was booked at City jail and later cited and released to his mother.

Friday, April 16:

11. Around 1:27 p.m., units were sent to Arcadia High School regarding a student who was under the influence of a controlled sub-stance. A 15-year-old male Asian student admitted to taking Ecstasy, a hallucino-gen. He was examined by a nurse and was later cited and released to his parent.

12. Around 7:22 p.m., a solo traffic collision occurred between the racetrack and Westfield Mall. An intoxi-cated 25-year-old male Cau-casian driver struck a fence, and he failed to perform the field sobriety test. He was taken into custody for DUI without incident.

Saturday, April 17:

13. Units were dis -patched to the 300 block of Cambridge around 12:46 a.m. regarding a possible suicide. A 33-year-old male Caucasian had apparently shot himself in the back-yard.

14. At 4:40 p.m., race-track security personnel ad-vised that they had detained a man for vandalism. The suspect was seen writing on restroom walls with a perma-nent marker, and a search of his person revealed hydro-codone pills that were not prescribed to him. A private person’s arrest was made, and a 28-year-old Hispanic was taken into custody for possession of a controlled substance and felony van-dalism.

Monrovia PD

During the last seven day period, the Police De-partment handled 556 ser-vice events, resulting in 122 investigations. Following are

18 April 22 - April 28, 2010

LegaL Noticesthe last week’s highlighted issues and events:

RobberyOn April 8 at 5:34 p.m.,

a male subject entered a gas station in the 700 block of East Huntington. He then entered the cashier area and ordered the clerk to open the register. The suspect had his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker. The clerk opened the cash register and the suspect reached in and took the money. The suspect then ordered the clerk to open a second register, but the clerk told him he could not open it. The suspect then ordered the clerk to get on the ground and asked him where the cigarettes are kept. The clerk told him they were locked in a storage room. The suspect left walking west toward Shamrock. Investiga-tion continuing.

Mental EvaluationOn April 9 at 7:20 a.m.,

officers responded to the 700 block of East Foothill regard-ing a family disturbance. A 16-year-old female was refus-ing to go with the rest of her family to visit a grandpar-ent. The subject grabbed a straight razor, locked herself in the bathroom and threat-ened to commit suicide. Officers arrived and kept the girl from using the razor on herself. The minor was taken to a hospital and was held for a 72 hour mental evaluation.

Grand Theft Auto - Sus-pects Arrested

April 9 at 6:20 p.m., po-lice received a call from an alert resident who reported seeing two suspicious sub-jects leaving a vehicle in the area and walking away. The citizen provided a license plate, a description of the suspects, the direction they were heading and hung up the phone. A computer check on the vehicle indicated it was reported stolen out of Cypress. Officers conducted an area check and located the suspects. The victim of the stolen vehicle only knew the first names of the sus-pects. He had met them a few days prior and they took his vehicle while he was asleep. The suspects were arrested and the investigation is con-tinuing.

Driving Under the In-fluence

April 9 at 8:30 p.m., a driver was heading north-bound on Mayflower and collided into the back of another vehicle that was turn-ing into a parking lot. Offi-cers arrived and determined

the driver was driving while under the influence. He was arrested.


April 10 at 2:02 a.m., an officer was driving south on Myrtle when he noticed a vehicle in front of him was swerving in the lane. The driver suddenly veered to-ward the right and struck the curb, causing the front tire to pop. The driver continued south and struck the curb again, causing the rear tire to pop. The officer stopped the driver and determined the driver was under the influ-ence and he was arrested.


April 10 at 2:06 a.m., an officer was traveling north on Primrose and observed a vehicle in front of him swerve into the southbound lane. The officer stopped the driver and during the investi-gation, determined the driver was under the influence. The driver was arrested.

Petty Theft with PriorsApril 10 at 1:20 p.m., po-

lice responded to a business in the 500 block of West Hun-tington. A male subject was observed stealing merchan-dise. He was confronted by loss prevention officers and he ran. They followed him and attempted to detain him. He started to struggle with the loss prevention officers, but immediately stopped and surrendered upon hear-ing police sirens. The suspect was found to have a prior felony theft conviction with time served, as well as a long list of narcotics offenses. The subject was booked for felony petty theft with priors.

BurglaryApril 10 at 3:32 p.m., two

transient, twin brothers who frequent a church in the 700 block of South Shamrock were observed in the rooms adjoining the sanctuary. The priest confronted one of them and told him he had to go outside. The church organist discovered her wallet missing from her purse. They con-fronted the transients about the wallet and the pair ran. One of the transients turned back and attempted to give the stolen wallet back, less the cash.
