The second reading of Ordinance No. 1312 adjusting water rates in the City of Sierra Madre is scheduled for the Regular Council meeting of Janu-ary 11, 2011. The meeting begins at 6:30 PM at Sierra Madre City Hall, 232 West Sierra Madre Boulevard. The public is invited to attend and provide com-ment at the meeting.

Ordinance No. 1132 will implement a four-year rate increase program in which water rates will increase approximately 7.54% each fiscal year be-ginning July 1, 2011. The ordinance will also intro-duce tiered water rates, which will result in slightly higher water rates for those customers using higher amounts of water. Ordi-nance 1312 eliminates cer-tain charges for multiple-unit residential customers, reduces the Utility Users Tax Rate on water, and provides for annual review of Sierra Madre Water Department maintenance, debt service, and other operational costs to ensure that rates are kept as low as possible.

For additional infor-mation regarding Sierra Madre water rates, please visit the City’s website at www.cityofsierramadre.com, or contact City Hall at (626) 355-7135.

Great Dane Carries Six-Month-Old Baby from Mother’s Arms

The Pasadena Uni-fied School District (PUSD) announced that it will receive a $250,000 federal Enhancing Educa-tion Technology (EETT)/American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant to support college and career readi-ness and raise gradua-tion rates. The grant will support an early warning system that uses student attendance, discipline and behavioral data to identify and provide early intervention for stu-dents who may be at risk of dropping out of high school.

“This grant recog-nizes the District’s strate-gic approach to improve graduation rates, and to

The funds will be used to make data part of the ongoing cycle of in-structional improvement, teach students to exam-ine their own data and set learning goals, estab-lish a clear vision for the use of school-wide data, and to provide training to support teachers’ use of online grading to in-crease student and parent

Santa Visits Friday Family Festival!

Monday afternoon an infant in Monrovia was snatched from her mother’s arms by a Great Dane. The woman had gone to the home of a friend and neighbor, the dog’s owner, when the animal grabbed the child from her mother’s arms. According to Lt. Mike Lee of the Monrovia Police Department, the attack ap-peared to be unprovoked.

The baby was rushed by helicopter to the Los Angeles County, USC Medical Center. While still

Rupa Dore, 75, teach-es Yoga at Santa Anita Church in Arcadia. She has always struck me as kind but moreover she teaches me something every time I see her.

Lighten Up for the Holidays

Sometimes I’m glad that I don’t throw much away. I saved this little bit of holiday humor from back in 2001. Nothing has changed.

Many of us approach the winter holidays with dread, exhaustion, anxiety and isolation. We’re vic-tims of the Christmas blahs, the Hanukkah ennui, and, for the pagans among us, the Solstice slump. But, while science has not yet found a cure for the holiday blues, there are definite cop-ing strategies.

Shop for the most inportant people first. We always want to get our loved ones somehing unique and special, so there we are at the quickie mart at 3 a.m. on Christmas Eve, trying to put together a gift basket of Twinkies, Crazy

Glue and car air fresheners.Don`t load up on

fats and sweets. There`s nothing worse than being bloated and wired at the same time. If you eat sen-sibly, you`ll be in a better frame of mind. But if you insist on overdoing it, get a pair of those pants with the elastic waistband--at the very least, you`ll avoid the midmeal unbuttoning, which is always a humiliat-ing experience.

Get up from the table and get some ex-ercise. It is a proven stress reducer. Take a hike. At minimum, wash the dishes by hand.

Before you start up a conversaton, make a mental list of topics to avoid. If you›re feeling at all blue, you›ll probably want to rule out discussion on: your career, personal life, health, religion, politics,

the past, the future and, most often, the present. Topics that are almost always safe: the weather, sports, and gar-dening. And, whatever you say, don`t lie. It`s too hard to remember what you said.

Relax. Take a deep breath. Take time out to re-joice at the little things: the smell of bread baking, the sound of fire crackling, the sight of a little piece of broc-coli wedged between your stuck-up cousin`s teeth.

Don’t make resolu-tions now. There’s too much pressure this time of year. Wait until you’re in a better frame of mind, like in February, which is the Chi-nese New Year. And if you happen to be Chinese, you should wait until the Jewish New Year, which is in Sep-tember.

Above all, folks, just lighten up and enjoy.

University of Phoenix Southern California Cam-pus and Pasadena residents handed out new toys to lo-cal underprivileged children who live in Pasadena and surrounding cities at the sec-ond annual Toys for Tots Winter Wonderland event. The event was held at Uni-versity of Phoenix Pasadena Learning Center.

In partnership with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Foundation and Pasadena-based Billion-aire Mind nonprofit organi-zation, University of Phoenix Southern California Campus wanted to promote commu-nity giving and help bring holiday joy to children dur-ing this holiday season.

Last year, the Southern California Campus received more than 200 toys donated from students, staff and fac-ulty. This year, the campus’ 14 learning centers collected more than 800 new, un-wrapped toys that were do-nated and distributed to local children in the community.

Arcadia High School’s new buildings got the once over on Saturday during a special afternoon tour . The visit was sponsored by the School District. Par-ents of students who may be attending the school next year got a chance to see the multi-million dollar expansion which is near completion. Also attend-ing the tour were council members Gary Kovacic

and Bob Harbicht who were visibly delighted with the new buildings and the potential they see for the continued growth of aca-demic excellence at Arca-dia High.

The tours were led by upper class men and wom-en who proudly showed off their new campus.

Voter-approved Measure R is funding new transportation projects and programs and accelerating those already in the pipeline.

Here are updates on a few of the projects:

Gold Line Foothill Extension> Ground was broken last summer for

the 24-mile-long extension from Sierra Madre Villa in Pasadena east through 11 cities.

> Project will be constructed in two segments; Phase 2A, from East Pasadena through Azusa; Phase 2B, from Glendora to Montclair.

Regional Connector Transit Corridor > A two-mile, fully underground light rail

line has been approved for the route of the Regional Connector Transit Corridor connecting the Metro Gold Line, Metro Blue Line and future Expo Line through Downtown LA.

> The route connects with the Metro Blue and Expo lines at 7th Street/Metro Center Station and with the Metro Gold Line at Alameda Street.

> Under the 30/10 Initiative, construction could begin in 2014 and be completed by 2019.

El Monte Station> Construction is underway on a new

$45 million El Monte Station at Santa Anita Avenue and Ramona Boulevard in El Monte.

> The project doubles the capacity of the original El Monte Station that opened in 1973 and features a two-story building with a public bus terminal, retail space, customer service center and parking. For more information, visit metro.net/3010.

To the Editor:Congresswoman Judy Chu believes that the so-

called DREAM Act “strengthens our economy and bolsters national security” (“Chu Pushes for DREAM Act Vote,” December 2, 2010).

“Every day that goes by without bringing the DREAM Act to the floor is not just a disappointment for millions of promising, law-abiding young Ameri-cans,” she said, “it’s a setback for the future of our nation.”

It would be a real setback for hard-pressed, law-abiding citizens and taxpayers to grant citizenship (read: amnesty) to 2.1 million undocumented stu-dents—a quarter of whom live in California.

Chu forgets to report that state taxpayers spend an estimated $10 billion a year (or $13 billion if you be-lieve the latest report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)) on education, housing and medical care for undocumented immigrants.

Chu ignores a recent report by California Com-munity Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott, who told the Los Angeles Times that an estimated 140,000 students did not enroll this year because they could not get into classes (“Just Call Them College Students in Waiting,” October 4, 2010).

It’s bad enough that the state’s taxpayers foot a $10-billion bill for illegal immigration. It’s insulting that Judy Chu expects their native-born, college-bound children to step aside for hordes of newly-minted “citi-zens.”

Worst of all, a back-door amnesty for two million students and their extended families will trigger an-other wave of illegal immigration, which we cannot afford or survive.

The Day The Monkey DiedThe quest for Monrovia High School’s first ever CIF

Championship Game was held at Arcadia High School because Monrovia High School’s new stadium failed to meet CIF regulations for seating for the visitors. What a loss of revenue dollars for the City of Monrovia. Arcadia High School’s stadium was filled with an overflowing ca-pacity crowd. The announcer made several pleas for the crowd to “move over” as more people filled the stadium.

The Monrovia Wildcats’ bid to capture a CIF Championship is well documented in their past history as 9-time Runner-Ups, but this night would be different unlike last year’s downpour of rain. This night was per-fect for a football game.

The calm autumn air left Old Glory without move-ment. The autumn colors of the liquid amber trees could be seen in the distance as the bright red team colors filled the visitors’ side.

The only chill that was felt was when Ms. Zamora (‘96 Monrovia Grad) sang the National Anthem. Several heads turned from the flag to catch the songstress of the night. This was our night. The crowd reflected the di-versity of the City of Monrovia. Yes, they all came out. Old, young and former players. Teachers and past and present elected officials. After a few questionable penal-ties the Wild Cats team released an assault on offense.

The after party was held at T. Phillips and Ale House & Grill(in Monrovia). Coaches, current and for-mer players all walked around in a daze understanding something special had happen.

Celebrating Christmas

Santa Anita Park, America’s premier winter racing venue, will open its gates for its traditional win-ter/spring meeting on Dec. 26, and its opening is ea-gerly awaited by not only racing fans nationwide, but by businesses of all kinds throughout Southern Cali-fornia and beyond.

“Over the course of the first week, we’ll em-ploy and average of 1,000 to 1,200 people per day,” said Santa Anita President George Haines. “Santa Anita first opened in 1934, and along with the fact we’re the longest running major sports enterprise in California, we employ more people on a seasonal basis than just about any-one else in this region.”

Santa Anita, which opened on Dec. 25, 1934, and has accommodated crowds in excess of 85,000, employs a wide variety of people.

“On opening day, we expect to have more than 400 mutuel tellers on-line and we’ll also have any-where from 250 to 300 servers, bartenders, ush-ers and customer service people working. Addition-ally, we’ll have about 15 Jockey Room valets, the same number of assistant starters on the starting gate and 10 to 12 people oper-ating heavy equipment like tractors and water trucks, which are required each

racing day.“We also have a full

staff of union tradesmen, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, janitorial, etc. When you factor in staff-ing that is required in our Broadcast Center, Rac-ing Office, Marketing and Graphics, Press Box and parking lots, you begin to realize that all of these people, collectively, have a very significant impact on the economy in this area.

“The overall econom-ic impact of our live racing is felt not just locally, but throughout California and around the country. When you consider some of the integral components of our sport, from the point of conception, to the feed, the training, transportation and all of the people and busi-nesses that work in and are effected by these various aspects of our industry, you begin to realize just how important a strong, viable Santa Anita is.”

Haines also noted that big crowds are expected during Santa Anita’s open-ing week and that bodes well for other businesses in the area as well.

“All of our advance ticket sales are up signifi-cantly over last year and we’re hoping to have more than 40,000 people here on opening day. Whenever we’re able to generate big on-track crowds, it has an immediate effect locally, on

places like hotels, bars, res-taurants, and other service-oriented businesses.”

Peter Amundson, may-or of the city of Arcadia, agreed.

“A prosperous Santa Anita Park is vital to the city of Arcadia, its busi-nesses and the community at-large,” said Amundson, who also grew up in Ar-cadia. “Everywhere I go, people are thirsting for San-ta Anita to reopen. Santa Anita has been idle as a live racing facility since April and that’s the longest dry-run here in Arcadia since 1968. It’s left a tangible void in the community, the likes of which I haven’t seen in my lifetime.

“A wide variety of busi-nesses have felt the effect of this. Hotels and restaurants are really hurting and we are all very excited that rac-ing is coming back the day after Christmas.

“When Santa Anita is up and running, the city of Arcadia benefits directly by increased room occupancy and sales tax revenues and beyond that, is the fact that fans and employees of Santa Anita are inclined to shop and spend money here and the benefits are immediate. We can’t wait for opening day!”

For more information on opening day and up-coming racing action, go to www.santaanita.com.

Santa Anita Ready Set For Opening Day, Dec. 26Overall Economic Impact To Region Significant

remember, as a child growing up, experienc-ing the thrills

and joy of celebrating an old fashioned Christmas. The snow covered fields, sleigh rides, trimming the tree with silver bells, stock-ings hung on the fireplace and beneath them a crack-ling fire. The fragrance of fir bows and the won-derful smell of a fresh cut evergreen Christmas tree. Christmas Carols playing in the background with chil-dren laughing and hoping for that very special gift that Santa Claus will bring. Set-ting out cookies and milk for dear Santa and hoping to hear the sleigh bells ring-ing upon the shoulders of his reindeer. What a won-derful time!

Political Correctness and some Educators have been trying for some time to silence the real reason for Christmas. Often re-ferring to it as the Holiday

Season. A Circuit Court Judge in New Jersey re-cently ruled that students attending school in the lo-cal school district could not sing the Christmas carol “Silent Night” in any school activities as it could be considered offensive to some students. This is truly Political Correctness in our society, gone berserk. The following e-mail poem that I received expresses those frightening new thoughts about celebrating Christ-mas.

“Twas just weeks before Christmas,

When throughout our Land;

Fewer parents are pray-ing,

Nor people taking a stand!

Political Correctness had taken Children’s joy away,

They could not sing nor have a Christmas Play;

Children were told by their schools not to sing,

About Shepherds, Wise Men, Angels and like things.

That it might hurt feel-ings ... teachers would say,

That December 25th...is just another Holiday!

Well, thank God, Christian Believers and many others too...are still dedicated to celebrate the Holy Christmas Event, re-membering the Angels’ proclamation of great joy. ”That unto you is born this day in the city of David, Christ the Lord, a Savior, a Redeemer, the Prince of Peace, Son of God. That Jesus was born in a manger for you and for me, so that believers could wear a roy-al robe of salvation.”

This is truly the reason to rejoice and proudly cel-ebrate this Holy Christmas Season. May God Bless You and Your Families ... now and throughout the New Year 2011.

The federal Ed-Tech grants seek to improve student achievement through the use of tech-nology in elementary and secondary schools. Additional goals include helping all students be-come technologically lit-erate by the end of the eighth grade, through the integration of technology with both teacher training and curriculum develop-ment, and establishing in-novative, research-based instructional methods that can be widely imple-mented.


While there was noth-ing to be ashamed of in los-ing the CIF Championship in a closely fought game, there is a great deal more to be said of winning it. And this year the Wildcats did exactly that.

After reaching the playoffs in the preceding year and losing in the final game, this victory was es-pecially sweet. Finally, a CIF Championship. Ten times in the preceding 75 years, the Wildcats had lost in the final game (includ-ing my own Senior year), but this time they won.

Coach Ryan Maddox was justifiable proud of his team. “We played well as a team,” he said, reluctant to point out any one player. Maddox did note that Jay Henderson had managed four touchdowns, three on passes from Quarterback Nick Bueno and the fourth on a punt return for a final

38-8 victory over Whittier Christian.

The score is not reflective of the strength of the opposition--Whit-tier Christian had been averaging 35 points per game--but Monrovia was able to hold them in a strong defen-sive game. “It’s an incredible feeling,” Maddox said, “The culmination of three years of work.”

The only sad part was that the victory did not take place on its own new field. Because of an error in the fabrication of the new visitors side stands at Wildcat Field, the game was played at Arcadia High School. But it was sweet none the

less.And the faithful fans

showed up in force. There were more than 4,000 in

First Avenue Middle School’s two rock bands (be-ginning and advanced) per-formed to a standing room only audience on Thursday evening, December 2, 2010, in the school’s recently reno-vated auditorium. While the music was loud the hearts of the musicians were overflow-ing! Through ticket sales the bands raised $1,150.50 for Arcadia Child Health Coun-cil.

Mike Danielson, known as Mr. D, has been teaching a variety of music classes at First Avenue Middle School for over 20 years. “The rock band classes are a part of the terrific electives program at First Avenue. Because we are so fortunate to provide these opportunities to our young people, we wanted to provide for some resources for those in our own commu-nity who are less fortunate. We are happy that our music can reach beyond our walls,� said Mr. Danielson about the

donation. Mr. Danielson was unanimously chosen as California’s nominee to the National Education Asso-ciation Foundation Award for Teaching Excellence in 2009.

The Arcadia Child Health Council was orga-nized in 1937, during the De-pression, to meet the health needs of Arcadia’s c h i l d r e n from lim-ited income families. It cont inues to offer this help today, a s s i s t i n g with access to needed health care, on a round-the-clock basis, to children who live within or attend school in the Arcadia Unified School District. The Council helps fulfill medical, dental, optical, pharmaceuti-cal, and counseling needs.

The Arcadia PTAs, community service clubs and private donations pro-vide financial -support for the all-volunteer Arcadia Child Health Council. Addition-ally, many local doctors, den-tists, and therapists donate or offer their services at substan-tially lower rates.

Young Rockers Raise Funds for Needy Children

The Pasadena Police Department will be con-ducting a “Zero Toler-ance” DUI Saturation Pa-trol on Friday, December 17, 2010. The program will begin at 8:00 P.M. and will end at 3:00 A.M. This enforcement opera-tion will be in an effort to reduce and remove the number of impaired drivers traveling on city streets. DUI programs are a useful and effective tool for achieving the Pasadena Police Department’s goal of detecting and removing

impaired drivers from our streets while improving traffic safety, saving lives and preventing injuries during the holiday season.

The Pasadena Police Department encourages people who are leaving home and planning on consuming alcoholic bev-erages to select a designat-ed driver prior to drinking or to simply telephone one of the many taxi cab services for a safe ride home.

In addition, it is a vio-lation of law for any driver

under the age of 21 years to operate a motor vehi-cle with any measurable amount of alcohol in their system. The public is en-couraged to help keep our roadways safe and to ‘Report Drunk Drivers by Calling 911’ whenever you see a suspected drunk driver.

Funding for this pro-gram was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Pasadena Police Department Prepares For A DUI Saturation Patrol

Red Light Program “Run a Red Light and You Will Be Cited”

The Pasadena Police Department will be con-ducting a Red Light En-forcement Program on Fri-day, December 17, 2010. This enforcement detail will be deployed through-out the City of Pasadena. The hours of operation will be from 1:00 P.M. to 8:00 pm.

The Pasadena Police Department is committed to reducing the number of traffic collisions resulting from drivers running red

lights or driving aggres-sively. The ultimate goal is to enforce and educate the driving public at the same time reducing serious inju-ries and fatal collisions.

A RED LIGHT means stop at the stop line, cross-walk or before the intersec-tion. Unless you are mak-ing a right turn, you must wait for the green light before you proceed. After making a complete stop, you may turn right on a red light if the intersection/

crosswalk is clear of pedes-trians and traffic. However, if the intersection is posted with a “No Right Turn on Red” sign, you must wait for a green light before any turning movement.

Funding for this pro-gram was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National High-way Traffic Safety Admin-istration.

Supporting our local businesses is very impor-tant to the ongoing eco-nomic vitality of the Pasa-dena area. The prosperity of everyone in Pasadena is dependent on the financial health of our business com-munity as a whole. One clear way everyone who lives, works or does busi-ness in Pasadena can aid in the recovery of our local economy is to spend mon-ey in the city where they live, work and do business. The shops, restaurants and services that create local jobs and provide the finan-cial bedrock for Pasadena are dependent on local patrons for their livelihood and ongoing vitality.

Every $100 spent in Pasadena stores generates $9.75 in sales tax. Of that sales tax, 1% of the base amount or about $.075 comes back to the City of Pasadena. The city uses that money to pay for park maintenance, police and fire services, tree trimming and a number of programs that keep Pasadena safe, clean and attractive – for residents, businesses, em-ployees and everyone who does business in Pasadena. In addition, Pasadena busi-

nesses pay property tax, business license fees and more. In addition, another $1.50 goes to fund transpor-tation projects and services in Los Angeles County-paying for street improve-ments, bus, light rail and subway service and more.

Sales tax dollars, busi-ness license fees, property taxes and other assess-ments paid by business return money to Pasadena to pay for essential services such as police and fire pro-tection and also support our local Pasadena public schools, parks and Pasa-dena City College. Spend-ing in Pasadena preserves local jobs, maintains local businesses and saves travel time and gas.

To encourage local residents, businesses and workers to shop in Pasa-dena, the City of Pasadena and the Pasadena Cham-ber of Commerce are spon-soring Grow Your Com-munity, Shop Pasadena promotional campaign to encourage local residents, workers, businesses and others to shop at Pasadena stores during the holidays.

The campaign consists of advertisements in local media, which are generous-

ly donated by local media outlets. The campaign also features bus shelter ads that will be on display through-out Pasadena from mid-November to mid-January. The ads were designed in partnership with The Agency, a student-run ad-vertising cooperative at Art Center College of Design.

The Pasadena Cham-ber and City of Pasadena encourage everyone who lives, works or does busi-ness in Pasadena to please think locally when shop-ping and buy in Pasadena.

Grow Your Commu-nity, Shop Pasadena cam-paign is not affiliated with other local or national ef-forts to encourage patron-age of local enterprises, though the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Pasadena support and encourage those efforts, as well. It is in everyone’s best interest to promote the vitality of our local busi-nesses and encourage those who appreciate and benefit from the excellent quality of life in Pasadena to sup-port it by shopping locally and patronizing those busi-nesses, large and small, that pay a dividend to our com-munity.

8 PM. The event will take place at Phoenix Decorating, 835 S. Ray-mond Avenue, Pasadena.

program,” says Chief of Police Phillip Sanchez. “This is one fundraiser that the entire family will enjoy.”

The PAL pro-gram is an after-school pro-gram facilitated by the Sal-vation Army. The police department provides trans-portation for youth to the PAL Center where mem-bers are tutored, mentored and provided a supportive environment staffed by Po-lice Officers, Community Youth Advisors and de-partment volunteers.

Divali is perhaps the most well-known of the Indian festivals: it is cel-ebrated throughout In-dia, as well as in Indian communities throughout the diaspora. It usually takes place eighteen days after Dusshera. It is col-loquially known as the “Festival of Lights”, for the common practice is to light small oil lamps (called diyas) and place them around the home, in courtyards, verandahs, and gardens, as well as on roof-tops and outer walls. In urban areas, especially, candles are substituted for diyas; and among the nouveau riche, neon lights are made to substitute for candles. The celebration of the festival is invariably accompanied by the ex-change of sweets and the explosion of fireworks. As with other Indian festivals, Diwali signifies many differ-ent things to people across the country.

In north India, Diwali celebrates Rama’s home-coming, that is, his return to Ayodhya after the defeat of Ravana and his corona-

tion as king; in Gujarat, the festival honors Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth; and in Bengal, it is associated

with the goddess Kali. Ev-erywhere, it signifies the renewal of life, and accord-ingly it is common to wear new clothes on the day of the festival; similarly, it her-alds the approach of winter and the beginning of the sowing season.

Last Saturday about 50 people attended the celebration. Many of the celebrants were Rupa’s students and other friends.

Not knowing the lan-guage I didn’t understand

the lyrics to many songs but I understood the gentle feel-ing of celebration and the importance of sharing good

food, dance and conversa-tion with those of many dif-ferent cultures–-united for peace.

A gesture of lighting of candles and a moment of silence was powerful last Saturday as were the many dancers.

Clothes were gifted by members of Rupa Yoga. Designer clothes were by Anjali Rathi. There was a terrific display of Rangoli–Indian Festive Draw-

i n g s - - H a r -shana the henna lady d e s i g n e d some wildly unique hand p a i n t i n g s . A d d i t i o n -ally there was a hard ha t hayoga demonstra-tion by Mark Tierno.

Divali is the most im-portant fes-tival for the

Hindus: it is the vic-tory of the Good over the evil; of the val-iant King Rama over

the demon Ravana.

President Obama gave a goodwill message re-garding the Divali last week--he had “done his home work well” accord-ing to Rupa!

D o c -tor Parveen Kaur, a great believer in health ben-efits of yoga, attended the

festival as she does ev-ery year.

The Pasadena Police Air Operations Section and the Foothill Air Sup-port Team (FAST) created quite a buzz Wednesday morning and a lot of wind while helping fly Santa in the new helicopter to visit pediatric patients at Hun-tington Memorial Hos-pital and to Hathaway-Sycamores home for boys in Altadena. Santa had a special helper this year –Chief of Police Phillip San-chez – who arrived with Santa on the helicopter on the roof of Huntington Memorial Hospital.. Pedi-atric Patients who are am-bulatory and well enough will be taken to the roof to witnessed Santa’s arrival

and escorted him to the Pediatric Unit where ap-proximately 17 patients ranging in age from 1 -15 years old received gifts.

Santa’s sled changed to black and white police truck where he then deliv-ered toys to Hathaway-Syc-amores (Roland Cottage/Hunter Cottage) at 2933 El Nido Ave. in Altadena. Santa and his elves greet-ed and give gifts to thirty boys and young men who are in the care of Hatha-ways-Sycamores. Almost $2,500 dollars was raised from contributions made by employees and em-ployee associations of the participating FAST agen-cies. “Children who have

to spend Christmas away from home and loved ones have a tough time,” says Chief of Police Phil-lip Sanchez. “We want to ease some of that anxiety by letting them know that their community cares for and about them. This may be one of the most emotionally compelling activities that I’ve been in-volved with since coming to the City of Pasadena and I welcome the oppor-tunity to share the joy of the season with the per-sonnel that coordinated this and most importantly, with the young ones who have been separated from their families during the holiday season.”

The Coalition to De-fend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights and Fight for Equality by Any Means Necessary (BAMN) rallied on the steps of Pasadena City College Tuesday lunchtime to demand that Congress pass the Federal DREAM Act before it adjourns for Christmas and to demand the pas-sage of the California DREAM Act.

Approximately one dozen individuals, many of whom were afraid to give their names; and some even shielding their faces with the signs of protest, insisted that the DREAM Act would change their lives for the better of all of Cali-fornia.

The Federal DREAM Act, which would offer hundreds of thousands of undocu-mented U.S. residents a pathway to citizen-ship, was passed in the U.S. House of Rep-resentatives on Decem-ber 8 but was postponed indefinitely in the U.S. Senate on December 9. The California DREAM Act, which would give undocumented California high school graduates ac-cess to state-funded col-lege and university finan-cial aid programs, can be re-raised in the state legislature as early as January 2011. Its passage would put California in

the lead of the nation for immigrant rights and open up the possibilities of other statewide DREAM Acts and the National DREAM Act’s passage. BAMN Organizer Adam Lerman said, “Winning both DREAM Acts would be a major step forward toward full and equal

rights for all immigrants--with and without papers. We could break through the racist “back-of-the-bus” treatment that too many people experience in this society; a society which uses immigration status to justify so much of that discrimination.”

Pasadena City Col-lege student and BAMN Organizer Jose (last name withheld due to undocu-mented status) said, “Win-ning the Federal and Cali-

fornia DREAM Acts will require more than making phone calls to overcome the racism and cynicism of both the Democratic and Repub-lican Party politicians. It will require building the new civil rights and immigrant rights move-ment taking mass, direct

action like those in 2006 when students across the nation ral-lied, marched, and walked-out to de-fend our rights and defeated the racist anti-immigrant law, HR4437.”

Maricruz Lopez, BAMN Organizer, said, “We will not al-low our rights and the rights of our families to be used as a politi-cal football. We can break through the politicians’ games if we build the tremen-dous power of our movement indepen-dently. Lobbying,

begging, or becoming the creatures of some politician’s calculated electoral ambitions will mean we fail. Building our movement on an independent basis and holding mass mobiliza-tions is the key to win-ning.”

The students assert that they want no part of a “Racist, Arizona-Style, Anti-Immigrant Initia-tive”.

The Greater Los An-geles Chapter of the So-ciety of Professional Jour-nalists will honor 89.3 KPCC-FM’s AirTalk host Larry Mantle as the Dis-tinguished Radio Journal-ist of 2010.

The annual award is based on a journalist’s body of work over time, and is one of the most coveted radio awards in the Southland. Mantle is being honored for his work on KPCC’s AirTalk, which he established in 1985 and has hosted ever since – the longest con-tinuous run of any talk radio host in Southern California.

Larry’s deep family roots in Los Angeles and his incredible range of interests have made him one of the region’s best known radio personali-ties and talk radio hosts. He interviews world leaders, movie stars and everyday people using a combination of intel-ligence, warmth, insight and respect. KPCC lis-teners value his gener-osity, toughness (when necessary) and fairness, as well as his uncanny ability to talk with mul-tiple guests on anything from Afghanistan to high-speed rail to the lat-est breakthroughs in bio-medical research.

Of the award, Larry

said, “It’s especially meaningful to be honored by my peers in Southern Cali-fornia radio. All of us work-ing on AirTalk are thrilled to have our work recognized by the Society.”

A i r T a l k has won many Golden Mike, A s s o c i a t e d Press and Los Angeles Press Club awards over the years, including “Best Talk Show.” The program is a frequently cited source of news and infor-mation by the Southern Cali-fornia, national and internation-al press.

In April 2005, Angel City Press pub-lished This is AirTalk: 20 Years of Conversations on 89.3 KPCC. The Los Ange-les Times’ best-seller includes conve r s a t i on s with luminaries and authors, in-cluding Jimmy Carter, Steve Martin, Milton

Berle, Walter Mosley, Jack Welch and Sting.

The Greater Los An-geles chapter of the Soci-

ety of Professional Jour-nalists will honor Mantle

at its annual banquet in March of 2011.

At about 4:00PM, a 22-year old man was hiking with his 21-year old friend in the Angeles National Forest when the 22-year old man fell from the hiking path down the mountain-side, and close to the edge of a cliff. The two men are Asian-Americans from Temple City.

The injured man used his cell phone to call the desk at Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Station and con-nected with Watch Deputy Steve Toly. Deputy Toly spoke to the man for about 15 minutes until the phone connection was lost. During their conversation, sheriff’s Air-5 rescue helicopter was called to the scene, along with Altadena Sheriff’s Sta-tion and Search and Rescue ground personnel.

Deputy Toly talked with the man to keep him calm, determine his location so he could direct rescuers to him, and estimate how

much danger he was in. The victim explained

he had fallen from the hiking trail an unknown distance, and was hanging onto a bush to keep from falling off a cliff. He said he could not see his friend, but he could hear him as they shouted to one another a distance away. He could also hear a helicopter far away.

The victim explained that the two men had just gone for a day hike. They did not have backpacks, food or water, or warm clothing. He said he was in-jured, but didn’t know the extent of his injuries. Dep-uty Toly said, “He said he was in pain and was worried he was going to go over the side of the cliff, but he did a great job of remaining calm. He is very lucky his cell phone worked in that area.”

Having determined the approximate location of the two men, Sheriff’s Air-5 Rescue helicopter deputies

responded to the 2200 block of Pine Crest Avenue, Al-tadena, approximately two miles up Eaton Canyon, in the Angeles National Forest.

Deputies hurried to find the two men, as the sun was going down and it was quickly getting dark.

By about 4:30PM, Air-5 rescue helicopter deputies found the two men, one of whom was clinging to a ledge approximately 500 feet above the base of a waterfall, unable to move. A Sheriff’s Emergency Services Detail (ESD) para-medic was lowered from the helicopter and hoisted both men into the aircraft. They were treated by ESD para-medics and subsequently transported to an area hos-pital for additional medical treatment. They are being treated for non-life threaten-ing injuries.

The Air-5 Rescue he-licopters, eight Search and Rescue teams, and Emer-

gency Services Detail para-medics of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Depart-ment conduct over 350 res-cue missions annually, mak-ing it one of the most active counties for search and res-cue missions in the nation.

lived with and worked for the Henry Rignery family.

fishing, gardening and woodcarving. One of his many tal-ents was creating tiny monarch butterfly pins from tiny cuts of wood he hand-carved and painted. The completed but-terfly pins were given as gifts.orrected
