DUSD to lay off71 instructionalassistants

Rancho miracle putsRita Assoian back on track

DOWNEY – At the request ofmore than a dozen DowneyUnified School District campuses,the Board of Education voted onTuesday to eliminate more than 70part-time instructional aide posi-tions throughout the school system,attributing the layoffs to a shortagein funding.The Board decision, which

takes effect this summer, calls forbroad cuts to teacher's aide posi-tions at almost every school in thedistrict, including all 13 elementaryschools.According to Kenneth Kato,

director of Classified HumanResources, 17 school site councils,made up of parents, teachers andadministrators, asked that the posi-tions be eliminated as a cost-savingmeasure, resulting in the abolish-ment of 71 instructional assistantpositions and one computer appli-cations assistant position.After years of district budget

cuts, Superintendent Wendy Dotymaintained these new layoffs wereinitiated by the schools themselves,not the district. However, Dotyconveyed remorse over the reluc-tant decision."We are very sad we had to do

this. We've made every cut we canover the last four years − there'sjust not a lot left to cut," Doty said."These are our regular instructionalassistants who help aide our teach-ers in the classroom. There were100 of them in our system, nowonly 29 remain."Doty said the staff cuts came as

a result of reductions to state andfederal education funding utilizedby school site councils who devel-op, review and evaluate schoolimprovement programs and schoolbudgets."The councils invested money

in different ways based on theneeds of the students," said Doty."Many schools, especially the ele-mentary schools, hired instruction-al assistants, but that money got cutback."Subsequently, teacher's aide

positions will be eliminated atevery elementary school site:Alameda (6 aides), Carpenter (2 ),Gallatin (3), Gauldin (10), Imperial(5), Lewis (6), Old River (3), Price(4), Rio Hondo (9), Rio SanGabriel (2), Unsworth (3), Ward(8) and Williams (6).In addition, East Middle School

(1), Griffiths Middle School (1),West Middle School (2) andDowney High School (1) will alsolose instructional assistant posi-tions.Following this academic year,

the layoffs will begin with thoseaides who hold the least seniorityin the merit system. Those newestto the district will be bumped outfirst, but Doty hopes that most ofthe laid off workers will find otherpositions within the school system."We had a meeting on Monday

explaining to everyone why we hadto do this," said Doty. "A lot ofthem will find jobs in our system.We have a 39-month rehire list.We're going to try to fill other sen-ior instructional assistant positions.Once a position opens, we'll callthe next person on the list."The cuts officially take effect

on July 1, allowing time to processincumbents while providing themandatory 45-day notice period.

DOWNEY – Father Greg Boyle,founder of the largest gang rehabilitationand reintegration organization in thenation, offered words of hope and inspira-tion when he served as keynote speaker atWednesday’s Gangs Out of Downeyfundraiser luncheon at the Rio HondoEvent Center.An ordained priest, Boyle is the cre-

ator of Los Angeles-based HomeboyIndustries, which has been providing jobsto former gang members since 1992.Boyle spoke briefly about Homeboy

Industries’s history on Wednesday, butmostly he preached a message of cohe-siveness between communities and theyoung people “pushed” into gangs.“No hopeful kid joins a gang,” Boyle said. “No one is lured - they are

pushed. Misery loves company.”Boyle said most gang members are “stuck in a lethal absence of hope,

and the only antidote are the people in this room.”“We’re all in this together,” Boyle said. “It’s not us and them. Just us.”Boyle, who quoted from Mother Theresa and used the personal stories

of reformed gang members throughout his speech, received a standingovation at the conclusion of his 30-minute talk.The annual luncheon is the chief fundraising event of Gangs Out of

Downey, which works to prevent gang activity among youths.Thad Phillips, community services director for Downey, is the organi-

zation’s current president.–Eric Pierce, city editor

See WATER, page 13

DOWNEY – The City Councilhas passed a resolution adoptingthe city’s water system master plan,a product of the thinking of outsideconsultants and city staff. Theaction was at Tuesday’s councilmeeting.Its chief recommendation is a

re-structuring of water rates if thecity is, in the words of its chiefarchitect, public works directorJohn Oskoui, to “continue provid-ing reliable, high quality, cost-effective water service to its cur-rent and future customers.”Two-and-a-half years in the

making, the master plan takes acomprehensive and close hard lookat the city’s water system, its futurepotential demand and associatedanticipated costs, and otherwise re-establish the water fund’s originalstatus as a self-sustaining fund.The proposed rate increase will

be spread out over five years,Oskoui said, to ease the impact onpocketbooks, and will feature newtiered rates. As the system is fund-ed through these water rates andfees, not taxes, the typical single-family residential customer underthe new rates would, for instance,see a water bill increase of about$4.50 a month in 2011-12.The effects on an individual

customer’s bill will depend on theamount of water used by the cus-tomer. Thus the less water a cus-tomer uses, the lower the rate thatwill be charged.A public hearing on the pro-

posed water rate is scheduled for7:30 p.m. on June 28 in the coun-cil chambers at Downey City Hall.Each property owner and ratepayer has the right to submit a writ-ten protest against the proposedrate by mail or in person to the cityclerk no later than the conclusionof the public hearing on the abovedate.Protests against the proposed

rates will be considered by the cityat the public hearing.In any case, the master plan

makes clear that for 2011-12, incomparison with the water ratesother neighboring cities such asCerritos, Lakewood, Paramount,Long Beach, South Gate,Montebello, Signal Hill, etc.,charge its consumers, Downey’srates register the lowest; even withthe proposed rate adjustment, theworst future projections place thecity in the middle range of the ratespectrum. This is because the othercities are forced to import most oftheir water even as their other oper-ational and maintenance costs con-tinue to escalate, he explained.This is the city’s first water rate

adjustment proposal in 16 years,Oskoui said. Over the same period,the cost of maintaining and operat-ing the water system has increasedsignificantly. The charges fromoutside agencies (power, insurance,

DOWNEY – As Rita Assoiandrove home after closing therestaurant where she worked on themorning of September 12, 2009, allshe could think about was gettingsome sleep. It was well past mid-night, and she was almost home,just a few minutes away from thecomfort of her bed.Everything was right with her

life. She was a first-year collegestudent and track star at GlendaleCommunity College with an appar-ently limitless future. Then in aninstant, everything changed.“As I exited the freeway, my

car was rear-ended,” Rita says. “Iremember getting out to call forhelp. And then there was a tremen-dous crash.” A car speeding atmore than 90 miles an hour plowedinto her car, which then hit Rita andtossed her high into the air. Sheflew through the night like a ragdoll. When she landed more than15 feet away, her body was devas-tated.The accident left Rita with 14

separate broken bones, a laceratedlung and liver, internal bleeding,the threat of paralysis from thebreaks in her neck and spine, andpossible brain damage from bruis-ing and blood on the brain. As shelay lifeless, the odds that Rita couldsurvive were not in her favor.Paramedics arrived at the acci-

dent scene within five minutes andimmediately summoned a helicop-ter to airlift her to Los AngelesCounty USC Medical Center, oneof the nation’s premier trauma cen-ters. She was in a deep coma, andher brain was swelling. Rita wasfighting for her lifeThe accident left her in a coma

for 22 days. Doctors can’t say forsure what saved her, although theyagree that she got the best possiblemedical care. “Perhaps it was alsothe extraordinary fitness that camewith being a track star,” says Dr.Luis Montes, Chief of Pediatrics atRancho Los Amigos NationalRehabilitation Center. "Perhaps itwas her fierce determination.Perhaps it was her family andfriends, who were by her side 24hours a day. Or maybe it was justher incredible heart.” But although

she should have died, Rita sur-vived.“The three breaks in my neck

and upper spine needed to fuse, toeliminate the danger of paralysis,”Rita says. “My family decided thatI would wear a Halo device toimmobilize my head, neck andspine for two months, instead ofhaving a risky surgery.” Innovatedat Rancho in the 1950’s, the Halo isnow used throughout the world andhas a better success rate than sur-gery.“The doctors told my parents I

would possibly never walk again,and I certainly was done competingin track,” Rita says. “I was luckythat I was unconscious so that Inever knew about that prognosis.”After she was fitted with the

Halo, Rita was sent to Rancho,where the fight to rebuild her lifewould begin. Healing from thephysical wounds was the easy part.“When she was transferred toRancho, Rita couldn’t walk or talk,and had a tracheotomy to help herbreathing,” says Dr. Montes. “Shewas fed through her stomach and

she was also wearing the 20 lb.Halo.”“I was out of the coma, and my

body was healing, but I was still ina fog,” Rita says. “My family andfriends could tell I was getting bet-ter, but I still wasn’t the same girlthey knew.” She didn’t have thesame spunk or spirited independentstreak that characterized her per-sonality prior to the accident.Often, she just stared with a glazedlook at the world, seemingly seeingand feeling nothing.Her therapy began in earnest.

“She worked with physical thera-pists to help with balance becauseshe was very wobbly on her feet,”Dr. Montes says. “An occupationaltherapist helped with self-careskills and her speech therapisthelped her to talk again and identi-fy her cognitive damage.”“Her first few weeks at Rancho

she was easily confused and herthought process was very slow,”Dr. Montes added.

DOWNEY – Women havealways played a pivotal role inDowney’s development.

While pioneering men werehard at work building roads, manag-ing mercantile businesses, estab-lishing busy schoolhouses, and min-istering in growing churches,Downey wives, mothers, anddaughters used their time, talentsand influence to help cultivatesomething just as important to anysociety: culture.

Clad in lacy blouses with cameobrooches, long, stiff petticoats, anddaintily buttoned high-heeled boots,the early female citizens of Downeywho migrated to the Los NietosValley during the late 19th centurydidn’t cower when faced with thenew frontier.

Conversely, a quorum of womenbanded together, pledging to enrichthe new developing community ofDowney by promoting “the social,moral and intellectual interests ofthe community.”

This small group of sevenwomen initially known as theFriday Afternoon Club would even-tually transform into one of themost influential non-profit organi-zations in Downey’s nearly 140-year history: the Woman’s Club ofDowney.

Founded in December of 1898,the Friday Afternoon Club was thefirst Downey organization estab-lished that was not affiliated with achurch or men’s group.

State federated in 1900, andincorporated by 1909, the clubhighly valued education, startingout in 1898 for the discussion andstudy of the literature, philosophyand history of ancient Egypt, Romeand Greece.

According to an original agen-da, the first meeting, held inside theFirestone Boulevard home of Mrs.J.W. McKellar, included a lesson onthe geography of Egypt.

During that initial meeting,McKellar hosted her daughter MissJudith McKellar, H.A. Scott, JosieMcKellar-Magee, Jessie McCoy,Elma Smith and D.D. DeNure, whowas elected as the club’s first presi-dent.

In addition to the study of theancient sages, typical meetings alsoincluded the exchange of familyrecipes, commentary on prevailingeducation theories, renditions ofmusic by classical composers suchas Brahms and Handel, fundraisersfor a future clubhouse and publiclibrary, and long before womencould vote, the club hosted sessionson politics and legislative reform.

By 1901 the club’s first goalstarted to become a reality when a“good-sized” library was openedand small rental fees/donationswere used to purchase additional

books. The early library was estab-lished in a room of the J.W.McKellar home. People were askedto come on Saturdays so the lady ofthe house, schoolteacher JosieMcKellar, could be home to greetevery reader.

Soon the Los Angeles CountyBoard of Supervisors agreed to con-tribute $10 a month to help establisha Los Angeles County Free Libraryat the club. Downey businessmengave $15 per month toward thecause.

With the influence and scope ofthe Friday Afternoon Club quicklyexpanding, a request eventuallycame from town teachers, and theclub became the SaturdayAfternoon Club. However, by 1912,meetings were held Wednesdays,twice a month. There was a limit of25 members.

In 1908, fees and donations hadaccumulated to cover the $1,752needed for the construction of theSaturday Afternoon Club’s firsthome. In 1910, the club purchased alot on the corner of New Street andFirestone Boulevard where a newclubhouse was built. The structurebecame a popular meeting andsocial place for other communityorganizations as well. The DowneyRotary Club held meetings there inearly years.

Hoping to further influence andshape Downey culture, the womensoon tackled their next project: aDowney entry in the Tournament ofRoses Parade.

With the help of the DowneyBoard of Trade, now the Chamberof Commerce, the SaturdayAfternoon Club entered “ButterflyFloat,” Downey’s first Rose Paradeentry, and won Banner and SilverCup in 1920.

It wasn’t until 1924 that the clubchanged its name to the Woman’sClub of Downey, almost 25 yearsafter it became affiliated with theCalifornia Federation of Women’sClubs.

Just two years later, the libraryoutgrew the Woman's Club and wasmoved to the Masonic building onDowney Avenue.

The library moved several timesas it got larger, until the collectionbecame an official county libraryand moved into its own building.Although this Downey branch wasultimately replaced in 1959 by thepresent Downey City Library onBrookshire Avenue, the womencontinued their yearly support forthe library they helped establish.

In 1928, the county healthdepartment decided to help improvechild welfare. They turned to theWoman’s Club who added on to itsFirestone building to provide one ofthe earliest day care centers staffedby county doctors and nurses.

Additional funds for the projectcame from the Woman’s Club,Kiwanis and Rotary.

During World War II, as inWorld War I, the women did theirpart, serving in the Red Cross, pro-viding first aid equipment and homenursing services for the returninginjured, as well as selling and buy-ing war bonds, serving as air raidwardens and staffing canteens andUSO centers.

After WWII, many Downeywomen, some coming out of the wartime workforce and others, havingacquiring the volunteer habit duringthe war, joined the Woman’s Club,hoping to continue their service.

By 1947, the Firestone club-house became insufficient, toosmall to house the growing mem-bership. The building was sold for$28,000 and two years later a cornerlot at the intersection of ParamountBoulevard and Lubec Street waspurchased for $11,000.

Construction of the new club-house was completed in the fall of1950. The resulting 7,000-sqaure-foot facility featured an auditorium,dining room, lounge, kitchen andcaretaker’s cottage.

Today, the clubhouse, located at9813 Paramount Blvd., still servesthe membership and helps sustainthe 113-year-old organization,which leases out the property everyweek for weddings, anniversaries,

luncheons, meetings and specialoccasions.

The Woman's Club of Downeyhit its height with close to 500members and a long waiting list inthe late 50s and early 60s. However,as more women began entering theworkforce and two-earner familiesbecame a reality, the number of newmembers started to decline sharplyas many working women had lesstime to devote to club activities.

Today, though the membershiphas dropped significantly, theWoman’s Club of Downey stilldonates money to the city’s localcharities and non-profit organiza-tions just as the club did decadesago.

The club not only contributed to

the city library, but since the early1900s, the Woman’s Club has alsosupported Rancho Los Amigos,Downey Community Hospital, nowDowney Regional Medical Center,Downey Theatre, and the DowneyFamily YMCA.

Moreover, much credit is oftengiven to the early male pioneerswho excelled in agriculture, thedairy industry and aerospace, butDowney also had its fair share ofstrong women who used their giftsand influence to help nurture thiscommunity. Due to the vision ofleadership of these women,Downey can be proud of its com-mon culture, which continues topromote education, service andgoodwill.

Letters to the Editor:

Changing street namesDear Editor:

I am completely in agreement with Bonnie West's letter dated March31. ("No to Feinstein," Letters to the Editor) I cannot see the benefit ofnaming a street after a politician who's only achievement is funnelingmoney – not her own – to various areas in order to gain votes.

I know there will probably be some city politicians telling us againhow all the affected people who live on the street who's name is to bechanged are in favor and looking forward to the time and trouble it takesto change their addresses on all the credit cards, checks, driver's licensesand all other correspondence, such as we were all told with a straight facewhen Clark Avenue was recently changed.

So if we are going to change street names, let us name streets afterthose who have actually had an impact on Downey through their own deedor those who have elevated mankind other than for publicity or the distri-bution of money.-- Ed Romero,Downey

By Leigh Ann PuseyCar accidents are the number one killer of teenagers in the United

States.Government data show that each day, more than 10 teens are killed

nationwide in a motor vehicle crash. Due to inexperience and bad habits,young drivers are more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than any otherage group, and the risk is highest during their first years of driving.

Now, a new teen driving act introduced in the U.S. Congress seeks toslow this dangerous trend and spare thousands of families the heartbreak-ing loss of a teenage child.

The Safe Teen and Novice Driver Uniform Protection (STAND UP)Act would set national standards for graduated driver licensing (GDL)programs, which have been proven to reduce deaths and injuries amongthe least experienced drivers.

GDL programs work by gradually easing restrictions on teen drivers asthey gain more experience behind the wheel. Drivers must complete athree-step licensing process in which they spend a minimum of sixmonths at the learner's permit stage, followed by another six months withan intermediate license. Once drivers turn 18, they are awarded full driv-ing privileges.

Research shows that states with strong GDL laws have seen as muchas a 40 percent decrease in teen crashes, and the longer licensure isdelayed, the better. If every state had strong GDL laws, 175 deaths andabout 350,000 injuries could be prevented each year, according to theCenter for Disease Control and Prevention.

GDL programs save lives because they target the key behaviors thatraise crash risk among teenage drivers -- speeding, nighttime driving, anddistractions from peer passengers and cell phones.

While teens are still mastering the complexities of driving, GDL lawslimit unsupervised driving hours and ban teens from using electronicdevices such as cell phones or iPods when driving. And since young teensare the most vulnerable, GDL laws would raise the age at which driverscan get a learner's permit from 14 or 15 in most states to 16.

Rethink strategyDear Editor:

This letter is in response to the letter that Richard Spencer sent to TheDowney Patriot on April 7, 2011, regarding bike lanes throughout the cityof Downey. (“Bikers Ignored,” Letters to the Editor).

I am not a bicyclist on a regular basis but I do respect the rights andwishes of casual bicyclists or those who do choose bicycles as their pri-mary mode of transportation. What I don't agree with is Mr. Spencer'sridiculous assertion that bicyclists have somehow suffered the same unjustand unfair discrimination and rights violations that other groups of oursociety have had to endure in our history. To compare the plight of a bicy-clist who may have to go without their own designated bike lane to that ofa particular group of people who have suffered significant injustices basedon their race, gender or sexual orientation is nothing short of ignorant andarrogant.

While I agree that the traffic volume in Downey, as in many othercities in the southeast area, is such that many bicyclists are at risk whenthey travel the major arteries, I have not seen the increased amount ofbicycle traffic in the city that would justify the additional expense or spaceneeded to construct bike lanes on every major road as Mr. Spencer wish-es.

It is the opinion of Mr. Spencer that bicyclists are currently ignored,considered a nuisance by the public and picked on by ill-informed officers.I don't agree with this assessment, however, if part of his plan to combatthese so-called atrocities is holding protests and bike rides that will clogroadways and highways in the city rather than inform and educate the pub-lic and the policy makers, he will do more harm than good to the legiti-mate concerns of bicycle enthusiasts.-- Randy Davis,Downey

By Laura McKnightFor decades, many corporate leaders have subscribed to Milton Friedman's

dictum that the one social responsibility of a business is to increase its profits.But for today's businesses, it appears that the reverse is true -- increasing prof-its is impossible without adopting a strong dose of social responsibility.

A recent Edelman survey of nearly 5,000 members of the "informed pub-lic" -- which the research firm defined as college-educated folks with incomesin the top quartile for their age -- found as much. No longer are corporate socialresponsibility and corporate profits mutually exclusive. Instead, doing goodcan help companies do well.

When asked what was most important for a company's reputation, nearlytwo-thirds of those Edelman interviewed cited "transparent and honest businesspractices." Half said that a highly regarded company needed to be a "good cor-porate citizen." Meanwhile, only 39 percent mentioned financial returns toinvestors as important to a firm's reputation.

Improving society is not just the lot of the dedicated humanitarian -- it'salso the charge of the wise CEO. "Business must align profit and purpose forsocial benefit," the Edelman report concluded.

But corporate social responsibility doesn't just generate public goodwill.CSR can also shore up the bottom line. A 2010 study published in Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's SAM Advanced Management Journal found a "statisticallysignificant positive relationship" between companies that do good and thosethat do well.

By Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-34)Californians, like all Americans, love breathing

clean, healthy air. We relish that picture perfectmoment: a clear view of the mountains or ocean, kidsplaying soccer or baseball, enjoying a picnic in thepark on a warm day, or just a brisk walk with the dog.

There are also the moments we’d like to forget --missed school or missed work due to bad air days,asthma and bronchial attacks and the associated coststo families, business and the economy.

The EPA and Clean Air Act have delivered muchgood for us over the past 40 years – everything from reducing lead levelsin the air by 92 percent to preventing hundreds of thousands of prematuredeaths, millions of asthma attacks and more. A recent EPA report revealedthat in 2010 alone, the Clean Air Act reductions in fine particle and ozonepollution have prevented more than 160,000 cases of premature mortality,130,000 heart attacks, 1.7 million asthma attacks and 13 million lost workdays.

But though our air is cleaner, it’s not nearly clean enough. Bad air isstill the reality for many Americans—just ask the millions of Latinos wholive where air quality violates federal safety levels—many right here inSouthern California. In 2006, it was estimated that almost half of Latinoslived with unsafe ozone levels and more than a quarter with unsafe fineparticulate levels. Air pollution is still a public health problem that hitsLatinos particularly hard since so many of us live in communities nearsources of harmful emissions and over 30% of us have no health insur-ance.

Californians understand the critical importance of clean air laws andthe need for regulating polluting industries. That was made clear lastNovember when we overwhelmingly voted down Prop 23, which would

Latino voices criticalin budget talks

The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the largestand oldest membership-based Hispanic organization in the country, held apress conference Thursday in Chicago regarding the proposed federalbudget cuts.

LULAC urges the Latino community to alert Congress that budget cutsare necessary but sacrifices cannot be made on the backs of hardworkingmiddle-class families. As the largest and fastest growing segment of theU.S. population, now is the time for all Latinos to speak up for the needsof our families, our neighborhoods, and our future.

"We stand with President Obama in ensuring that key investments ineducation, innovation, infrastructure development and government reformare protected," sid Margaret Moran, LULAC national president, "butCongress needs to compromise in order to eliminate wasteful spending,close corporate loopholes, and save essential federal programs. We are thelargest group among the uninsured, with 38.9% going without coverage in2010, and we comprise 14% of all Pell Grant recipients. Now is not thetime to roll back funding that is crucial to the advancement of our students,our families or our most vulnerable community members."

"If budget negotiations aren't reached by midnight on April 8th, thegovernment will shut down and many critical services would likelycease," explained Brent Wilkes, LULAC national executive director."Congress can and must come to a compromise for the sake of the Latinocommunity and other minority populations. The effects of the proposedbudgets cuts are far-reaching and endanger crucial programs, such as HeadStart, WIC, resources for students striving towards attaining higher educa-tion, and Hispanic health services."

"We cannot afford to sacrifice the needs of women and children at atime when they need us to speak up for them the most," added ReglaGonzalez, LULAC national vice president for women. "The Hispaniccommunity must realize that their voices are crucial in this fight to saveprograms and services that empower our community. This is the onlybeginning and we must start pushing back now."

Protecting our air and public healthhave rolled back California’s law to reduce air pollution. But that battlewas just the beginning of an effort now brewing at the federal level torestrict the tools at government’s disposal to protect the public’s health.

Many in the new Congress are trying to block the EnvironmentalProtection Agency from implementing the Clean Air Act. The Republicanspending plan that would fund the federal government for the rest of theyear drastically cuts funding to enforce the law and protect public health.The proposal cuts the EPA’s budget by 30 percent, the largest cut of anyagency. Under the guise of deficit reduction, opponents of clean air regu-lations are seeking to gut EPA’s power to enforce the law.

The proposed reductions in EPA funding mirror an effort in both theHouse and Senate to block the agency from regulating toxic greenhousegas emissions from power plants and other sources. This attempt to disarmthe EPA is taking place despite the fact that the Supreme Court held thatthe EPA has the authority to control these sources of pollution.

The EPA must be allowed to continue cleaning up air pollution andensuring that safeguards keep up with modern-day scientific findings—findings that show we should add carbon dioxide to the list of pollutantsregulated and monitored by the federal government. The EPA relied on thebest science available to begin setting carbon dioxide standards, just as ithas in updating standards on mercury and arsenic, other power plant emis-sions that pose serious health risks.

Californians and all Americans should call on Congress to follow thescience and renew our national commitment to clean air. This is a publichealth issue of profound importance, not only for heavily impacted Latinofamilies and children in my Los Angeles communities, but for kids allacross the country who deserve to grow up breathing clean, healthy air.Let the EPA do its job.

Time for more restrictions on teen drivingThe idea behind GDL laws is simple: Minimize risk while maximizing

experience. With GDL programs, teens gain driving privileges commensu-rate with their developing skills and good judgment.

Although 49 states have some form of GDL, only a handful have com-prehensive licensing systems - including appropriate nighttime and pas-senger restrictions - in place. The STAND UP Act would strengthen andimprove existing laws - the same way earlier federal mandates increasedseat-belt use and reduced drunken driving.

GDL proponents recognize that parents want to keep to their childrensafe on the road, but they also need flexibility to manage family schedules.That's why the STAND UPAct makes exceptions for teens driving with animmediate family member under age 21 and for traveling to workplaces orschool-sanctioned events - instances where teens are already less likely toengage in risky driving. The bill would also exempt most teens who workon family farms.

Thanks to the flexibility and protection GDL laws provide, numeroussurveys show that parents strongly endorse the system. What's surprisingis that nearly 75 percent of teenagers support a comprehensive GDL law,according to a recent survey by the AllState Foundation. Even widermajorities of teens favor bans on texting (93 percent) and cell phone use(85 percent). Much like their elders, teens recognize the importance ofsharing the road with responsible and experienced drivers.

We all know that teen crashes - and the tragic losses that result - arepreventable. GDL laws are a proven, effective strategy for reducing risk toteens, their passengers, and others who share the road with them. Parents,teens, and lawmakers should "stand up" for national graduated driverlicensing standards and ensure that the next generation of drivers is well-prepared for the serious responsibility of driving.Leigh Ann Pusey is President and CEO of the American InsuranceAssociation. This piece was originally published in PropertyCasualty360.com.

A charitable way to shore up the bottom lineThree economists examined 120 U.S. corporations which were members of

the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) between 1999 and 2007. To consti-tute the Index Dow Jones assesses the opportunities and risks companies facein the economic, environmental, and social realms.

The authors compared the firms' financial performances with those of 120companies that were not members of the DJSI. They found that firms that hadembraced corporate social responsibility had higher gross profit margins andhigher return on assets than those that didn't.

To explain the socially conscious businesses' economic success, the econ-omists cited elevated levels of loyalty and trust among their customer bases,especially those deemed "morally conscious."

Companies are increasingly reaching out to these influential consumers,who reward responsible companies with their business. Consider the case ofStarbucks, for instance.

Its coffeehouses are adorned with pictures of Central and South Americanfarmers with their hands in bags of coffee beans. The captions next to the printstout the chain's ethical practices -- like fair-trade-certified ingredients, commu-nity-based development projects, and charitable contributions.

Starbucks also trumpets the many benefits it gives its employees -- likehealth care, tuition reimbursement, access to stock options, and retirement sav-ings accounts.

As a result, consumers feel like they're making a positive impact on theworld with their daily coffee purchases. That sort of personal connection topurchases defines Starbucks' business. As the company's CEO Howard Schulzhas written, consumers "will embrace only the companies and brands they trustand with which they identify. . . The approach Starbucks is committed to is theonly one that will enable us to deliver long term value to shareholders, partnersand customers."

He's proven right, as Starbucks took in more than $2.5 billion in revenuelast year, thanks in no small part to those positive consumer vibes.

Of course, realizing the benefits of corporate social responsibility requiresmore than simply giving money away haphazardly. As the authors of the TexasA&M study wrote, "corporate responsibility must pass more than the 'feel-good' evaluation: it must pass prudent financial value and produce positive eco-nomic impact," if it is to have maximum impact.

A simple inventory of a company's existing charitable activities can helpensure that businesses are reaping returns on their CSR investments. And forexecutives facing pressure to trim costs, such a tally can also identify potentialopportunities for savings without straining a company's reputation.

Profits are as important to American business as they were 40 years ago,when Friedman offered his famous maxim. But in today's marketplace, busi-ness leaders will not be able to increase profits, as Friedman exhorted, unlessthey embrace a program of corporate social responsibility.Laura McKnight is president and CEO of Greater Horizons(www.givingbetter.org).

Do you get an overwhelmingurge to move your legs - especiallyat night – accompanied by anuncomfortable sensation? Doesmoving your legs release that dis-comfort? Does the feeling only getworse when you try to relax or liestill? Does this (understandably!)keep you awake? You may be suf-fering from a condition known asRestless Leg Syndrome (RLS).

Restless Leg Syndrome affectsup to 10% of the population,including about a million children.Women are twice as likely to get it,and while symptoms can begin atany age, the more severe form ofthe disease occurs in middle-agedor older people.

More than 80% of people withRLS also experience a conditionknown as periodic limb movementof sleep (PLMS). PLMS is charac-terized by involuntary leg twitch-ing or jerking movements, occur-ring every 15 to 40 seconds, andleading to repeated awakenings.

Symptoms vary from day today in severity and frequency, andonly by keeping in constant motionmight the sensations be prevented.The arms, trunk and head are muchless often involved. Classically, it’sworse at night, and symptoms usu-ally subside first thing in the morn-ing. Common triggers includetimes of inactivity like a long cartrip, sitting in a movie theater, aplane flight, immobilization in acast, or relaxation exercises. In thelong term, there may be periods ofremission for days or monthsbefore a new relapse occurs.Symptoms tend to become moresevere over time for most, and yetmay disappear for some.

The causes of Restless LegSyndrome are puzzling. The med-ical literature first mentioned it in1683. More than 60% of cases arefelt to have a genetic component,as it is found clustered in familieswhen the disease begins before age40. RLS can also be related to iron-deficiency, which seems to accountfor 20% of all cases, but 75% per-cent of cases show elevated levelsof iron in the blood! Other condi-tions that often occur in those suf-fering from RLS include varicoseveins, folate deficiency, magne-sium deficiency, fibromyalgia,sleep apnea, kidney failure, dia-betes, thyroid disease, Parkinson’sdisease, certain autoimmune disor-ders, celiac disease, rheumatoidarthritis, and peripheral neuropa-thy. Finally, in a study just releasedby the Mayo Clinic, it appears thatRLS could be a sign of hiddenheart problems. The study showedthat people with very frequent legmovements were more likely tohave thick hearts, a condition thatmakes them more prone to cardiacproblems, stroke and death. Acause-and-effect relationship hasnot been proven to date, but theassociation of the two has definite-ly been observed.

Some medications aggravateRLS symptoms, including anti-nausea meds, anti-psychotic drugs,certain over-the-counter antihista-mines, and some anti-depressants.Other factors that can make itworse are being in the last trimesterof pregnancy, detoxing from opi-oids, alcohol use, sleep depriva-tion, and undergoing any surgery.

Diagnosis of RLS is made clin-ically, not through a lab test. Yourdoctor will focus on your descrip-tion of symptoms, triggers, whatgives relief, and the pattern it fol-lows throughout the day and night.While laboratory tests can be run torule out other conditions such asvitamin deficiencies or othermovement disorders, and sleepstudies can rule out sleep apnea,there is as of yet no diagnostic testto establish a diagnosis of RLS.

The goal of treatment is toreduce symptoms, includingdecreasing the number of nightswith symptoms, the severity ofsymptoms, and the frequency ofnighttime awakenings.

•When RLS is a result of anunderlying medical condition, itmay be cured when the underlyingcondition is taken care of.

•For the 20% of cases associat-ed with iron deficiency, ironreplacement may eliminate orreduce RLS symptoms.

•Stretching exercises of the legmuscles can bring relief lastingfrom seconds to days. Walkingmay give some relief.

•For some, dopamine agonistmedications, such as Requip(Ropinirole) and Mirapex(Pramipexole), have helped.

•Lifestyle changes may make areal difference, including reducingcaffeine, alcohol and tobacco; tak-ing iron, folate, and magnesiumsupplements; maintaining regularsleep patterns; and getting exercise,massages, and baths.

Unfortunately, RLS is a chroniccondition with no cure. There maybe hope in the many research proj-ects that are currently underway,which promise to give new insightsinto the causes and cures for thisdebilitating condition.

LOS ANGELES – Mortalityrates from heart disease and strokedecreased sharply in Los AngelesCounty over the past decade,according to a report released thisweek by the Department of PublicHealth.

Between 1997 and 2007, theheart disease mortality ratedecreased by 41 percent and strokemortality rate decreased by 39 per-cent, translating to approximately9,000 lives saved annually fromheart disease and approximately2,000 lives saved from stroke.

“These declines in heart diseaseand stroke mortality represent greatimprovements in the public’shealth, and they will become moreimportant still as the populationages,” said Jonathan E.

Investigate, ask your server howitems are prepared and look at therestaurant menu's nutrition informa-tion online in advance, if available.With a bit of planning, your dietdoesn't have to be derailed.

Salad – A plate packed withdark, leafy greens, vegetables andeven fruit can be very nutritious.Avoid salads featuring heavy dress-ing and cheese, which easily addson extra calories and fat.

Fish – Baked or grilled fish withlemon is an ideal choice but a friedfish platter can quickly top 2,000calories. Also steer clear of fishwith butter or cream sauces.

Smoothies – A blend of low-fatyogurt and fresh or frozen fruit thatyou prepare yourself in a blendercan be a healthy way to start yourday. Smoothies found in the mallfood court are a quick way to tackon calories due to the added sugar –aside from the sugars that occur nat-urally in fruit – the use of full-fatmilk and commonly-found supersizes.

Wraps – Depending on the typeof sauce and amount of cheese used,these wraps can top upwards of1,000 calories. For a healthy wrap,stick with one containing leanmeats, plenty of veggies, smallamounts of cheese and no mayo orcreamy sauces.

Autism walk atRose Bowl

PASADENA – The ninth annu-al Los Angeles Walk Now forAutism Speaks takes place April 23at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

More than 20,000 peopleattended last year's walk, helpingraise $1.3 million for autismresearch, awareness and familyservices.

Autism is the fastest-growingserious developmental disorder,with 1% of the population affected,organizers said.

Celebrities expected to partici-pate include Holly Robinson Peete,Michael B. Jordan and MaxBurkholder.

The walk begins with an open-ing ceremony at 9:30 a.m.

Deaths due to stroke, heart disease dropfactors for heart disease and stroke,including obesity, lack of physicalactivity, Type II diabetes, highblood pressure, high cholesterol andtobacco use, remain very high.”

Information on heart attack andstroke mortality was compiled fromLos Angeles County death certifi-cate data and compared to data pub-lished in the American HeartAssociation journal Circulation(“Heart Disease and StrokeStatistics 2011 Update: A Reportfrom the American HeartAssociation,” published December15, 2010). The report comparestrends in heart disease and strokemortality in Los Angeles Countywith those of the rest of the nation.

“The American HeartAssociation is pleased with theprogress Los Angeles County hasmade against heart disease andstroke,” said Kathy Magliato, MD,board president, American HeartAssociation Greater Los AngelesDivision. “As encouraging as thisnews is, it is important to recognizethat there is so much more to do.Heart disease and strokeremain the No. 1 and No. 3 killers inthe country and several major riskfactors for these diseases have notseen the same decline as death rates- in fact, several are on the rise andare appearing at earlier ages than

ever before. If this trend continues,death rates could begin to rise againin the years ahead and we will seeour children developing heart dis-ease at a young age, dying early orrequiring medical care sooner. Thefinancial and emotional toll will bedetrimental to Los Angeles.”

Heart Disease:● In 1996, Los Angeles County

experienced approximately 239deaths per 100,000 people due toheart disease. (Nationwide, therewere 170 deaths per 100,000 peo-ple.)

● In 2007, Los Angeles Countyexperienced approximately 141deaths per 100,000 people due toheart disease (a 41 percent decreasefrom 1996).

● Despite these encouragingnumbers, heart disease mortalityremains 12 percent higher in LACounty than for the U.S. as a whole.Nationwide, there were approxi-mately 126 deaths per 100,000 peo-ple.

Stroke:● In 1996, Los Angeles County

experienced approximately 59deaths per 100,000 people due tostroke. (Nationwide, there wereapproximately 64 deaths per100,000 people.)

● By 2007 in Los AngelesCounty, there were approximately36 deaths per 100,000 people due tostroke (a 39 percent decrease from1996).

● The stroke mortality rate inLos Angeles County in 2007 was 14percent lower than the rate nation-wide (42 deaths per 100,000 for thenation).

Reasons for the decrease:There are a number of factors

that are likely contributing to thedecrease in heart disease and stroke

mortality in the county. Theseinclude more effective medicaltreatment of high blood pressureand elevated cholesterol, publiceducation on heart attack and strokewarning signs so that individualsseek care more quickly, andimprovements in medical and surgi-cal treatment of heart attack, stroke,and their complications.

In addition, the county has seena continued decline in smokingamong adults (from 18.2 percent in1997 to 14.3 percent in 2007) as aresult of very effective public healthcampaigns.

Next steps:To sustain the impressive

progress in reducing heart diseaseand stroke mortality, efforts areneeded to ensure access to healthcare for all county residents so theycan benefit from recommended pre-ventive services (including treat-ment of elevated blood pressure andcholesterol) and emergency and fol-low-up care for heart disease andstroke and their complications.

Continued efforts are also need-ed to educate the public on thewarning signs of heart disease andstroke. Increasing focus must beplaced on prevention by addressingthe underlying risk factors for heartdisease and stroke, including tobac-co use, lack of physical activity,poor nutrition, and obesity.

These efforts must include notonly intensive public education butalso a focus on policies that createhealthier environments, where thehealthy choice becomes the easychoice - for example, communitieswhere there is ready access toaffordable, healthy foods and abun-dant opportunities for physicalactivity, and where smoking is dis-couraged.

� County health officials sayheart disease mortality ratedropped 41% between ‘97-07.

locating his pitches,” Alvarez said.“I was calling pitches and he was-n’t hitting his spots. Like anypitcher, he’s going to have troublehitting his spots on any givenday.”But this goes back to the lack

sloppy on our part,” he said.“Actually, sloppy all around. 14-3ballgames are usually not a clean

game. There were mistakes madeon both sides and definitely thingson our side that need to be workedon.”When asked what he and his

our baseball IQ,” he said. “I thinkthe fundamental issues we haveare because of lack of baseball IQ,not because of our lack of ability.It’s because we make the wrongdecisions on the field.”But he continues to preach to

of the regulations if I were to wearsuch a device while taking abalone,assuming I did not use the deviceand had sufficient evidence toprove such a claim?A: The law prohibits the "use

device in the water containingSCUBA or surface-supplied air.Since you are not allowed to haveSCUBA gear in your possession ona boat while taking abalone (evenif the SCUBA gear is not beingused), to be consistent with the law,this spare air product would alsonot be allowed as the same princi-ples apply.Q: Spring turkey season is one

of my favorite times of the year andI'm heading out for a gobbler nextweekend. I do a lot of my huntingin prime hog country and like tocombine my options when I'mthere. I usually hunt with a bow butam considering carrying my .44revolver for hogs, and a shotgunfor turkeys. Could this cause aconflict if I'm stopped because the.44 is not legal for turkey hunting?If all lead-restrictions are observed,would it be legal to carry the hand-gun while turkey hunting with ashotgun? What about carrying thehandgun and the bow at the sametime?A: There are no restrictions

against carrying a shotgun forturkeys and a handgun for pigs atthe same time. And since you're not

hunting during the deer archeryonly season, should you decide tobow hunt for turkeys, there are alsono restrictions against carryingboth a bow and a firearm on thesame trip.Q: Do I need a hunting license

to shoot gophers on private land?A: Yes. Gophers are non-game

mammals and may be taken bylicensed hunters. In addition,gophers that are damaging growingcrops or other property may betaken without a hunting license bythe owner or the owners agent.Q: We live near a reservoir

where people do a lot of duck hunt-ing on. Our houses sit right abovethe reservoir and they sometimesget hit with buck shot. Does the150 yard distance apply on reser-voirs the same as it does on land?And can we post signs along thereservoir to warn people about noshooting?A: Yes, the same prohibition

against shooting within 150 yardsfrom an occupied dwelling existsfor people shooting from the waterthe same as when on land (Fish andGame Code, section 3004). Andyes, you can post your property to

warn unaware hunters/shooters.Q: I am a lifetime hunting

license holder with the additionalbig game package. Last time Ihiked in the Cleveland NationalForest, I saw a wild ox (my sonsaid it was a buffalo, but it hadsmooth skin without fur and longthin pointed horns). Could you tellme if I can take it? It is not listedanywhere on your website for a tagrequirement.A: It is not uncommon for

domestic livestock to be found onForest Service lands. In fact, manyranchers have long-term contractswith the Forest Service allowingthat use. In addition, NationalForest property is commonly adja-cent to private ranches and the live-stock frequently stray onto the pub-lic land.According to retired DFG Capt.

Phil Nelms, a truly feral cow orsimilar domestic stock (except aburro) is considered to be a non-game mammal in the Fish andGame regulations and can be taken.A hunting license is required butthere are no prescribed seasons orbag limits.Beware though … if you kill

one of these animals and it is notferal, you could be prosecuted for afelony. Stick to deer!!Carrie Wilson is a marine biologistwith the California Department ofFish and Game.

DOWNEY – Had you beenthere, you certainly would remembera morning spent indoors, in onespace, in the company of 1,702 fifthgraders.

Recently all those students weredelivered by school buses in threeseparate batches, each an hour apart,to the Downey Theatre, where thekids were about to get an earful.

A first-time observer wouldexpect chaos, lots of noise, every-thing running late. But this is anannual event, a project of theDowney Symphony's Music in theSchools program when the studentsget to hear a live orchestra in con-cert. It's been going on for 11 years,in collaboration with the DowneyUnified School District, and every-one's got their act down.

Leslie Jones directs the district'sInstructional Support Programs. Sheconferred with her staff for weeks toensure another faultless, ultra-smooth operation. Bus drivers knewwhich city streets were under repair.Teachers and volunteers stood inplace, holding posters high to directschools to their sections in the the-ater. Kellie Bernd from the districtshepherded enormous lines of stu-dents to their seats, row after row,with all the economy and confidenceof a really good border collie.

On stage, members of theDowney Symphony wore kid-friend-ly colors. Symphony BoardPresident Larry Lewis welcomedeveryone and thanked the KiwanisFoundation for funding these threeperformances – to the tune of$17,000.

Then, once everyone was settledin, Conductor Sharon Lavery intro-duced the instruments in each sec-tion of the orchestra. These young-sters already know a lot about musicfrom yearly visits to their schools bythe symphony's Quintet. They hadseen and heard, up close, the violin,string bass, clarinet, trombone andpercussion instruments. But todaythe kids grasp at the length of a bas-soon, the enormous convoluted mass

DOWNEY – The DowneySymphony Guild will sponsor abus trip for 30 people to tour themagnificent Cerritos Library onWednesday, May 11.

The bus departs promptly at9:30 a.m. from the Barbara J.Riley Community and SeniorCenter.

the famous 4-note theme from aBeethoven symphony. "What's thenumber of that symphony?" sheasks. Beating out everyone else,Matthew and Xavier from MaudePrice yell out, "FIVE!" "Yesssss!"

Moussorgsky's great work,"Pictures at an Exhibition," describesin music a series of paintings onview in an art gallery. The audiencegiggles at the ballet of gawky chick-ens, shudders deliciously as menac-ing music from that bassoon depictsan evil witch prowling the town,deep in the night, searching outnaughty children.

Erika, seated with her CarpenterElementary classmates, grins andconducts expressively with a pencil,then hands her "baton" to Suzannanext to her. "We're best friends,"Erika confides.

Then it's time for our distin-guished music director to do a quickmorph job, right on the podium.Now in striped pirate hose, eye patchand swooshy hat, Lavery turns to heraudience.

"Raise your hands if you'd like tosee me conduct with my sword." Athousand hands shoot up. "I wasafraid of that..." and the kids eat upmusic from "Pirates of theCaribbean." Next hour the baton ofchoice will be a giant hook. Hook orsword, either one makes for a prettycommanding downbeat.

For a terrific finale, wind andbrass players from Warren andDowney high schools join theorchestra in Tchaikovsky's "1812Overture" to exuberant applause, anda happy audience files out to waitingbuses, even as the next long lines offifth graders file in to hear their spe-cial performance.

Quite a morning. Quite an expe-rience. It would not have been possi-ble without the far-sighted generosi-ty of Downey's Kiwanis Foundation,which underwrote this educationaloutreach program. We all hope manyof these young students will beinspired to explore instrumentalmusic next year when they go tomiddle school. There's bound to be abudding bassoonist or two in thebunch!

Downey girl wins statepageant

DOWNEY – Downey resident Jessica Aguirre was named DreamGirls USA California Hi-Point Champion at a pageant April 3 at theCrown Plaza Resort in Ventura.

Aguirre, who represented Downey as she competed against youngwomen from across the state, captured awards for best runway model, bestdressed, most photogenic, prettiest hair and cover girl.

Aguirre will compete in the national pageant July 14-17 in St. Louis,where 50 girls will try to win scholarships, including the grand prize of$10,000.

In the meantime, she will attend charity events, parades and fundrais-ers in her role as Dream Girls USA California.

Aguirre previously received the community service award from theDowney Rose Float Association. She is also involved with Cal StateFullerton's National Philanthropy program, where she is a third-year stu-dent majoring in communications with an emphasis in public relations anda minor in history.

She is the daughter of Thomas and Teresa Aguirre, of Downey.

Jessica Aguirre, of Downey, won the Dream Girls USA California Hi-Pointpageant earlier this month in Ventura. She will next compete at a nationalcompetition in St. Louis.

When her fog began to lift shehad lots of questions about whereshe was and what had happened.“When I woke up… I was scaredabout everything,” says Rita. “Iwas like a scared child, and littleby little, I slowly began to heal.”When speech therapist B.J.

Sena first began working withRita, she could communicate‘yes’ or ‘no’ only with hand move-ments. Her responses were flatand devoid of any emotion. A fewweeks later B.J. and Rita’s familywere cheered when she smiledand began to laugh. “They felt thattheir girl was coming back tothem,” B.J. says. “Over time shebecame more alert and then herdetermination and sweet personal-ity came out. Soon everyone fellin love with her.”One day she had a break-

through in speech therapy andbegan to talk. “I don’t remembermy first words, but I do remembermy mom and aunt arriving fortheir daily visit,” Rita says. Whenher mother walked through thedoor, Rita looked up and said “HiMommy!” as if she had been talk-ing all along. Her mother startedto cry – it had been weeks sinceshe had heard her daughter talk.Throughout Rita’s stay, she

participated in many events andoutings funded by the Rancho LosAmigos Foundation and Rancho’scommunity partners. “I remembergoing bowling with my Halo on,”Rita says. “My therapists helpedme so I could participate with theother kids…it was just amazing.”“I also went to the mall sever-

al times, and I even went toDisneyland,” Rita says. “Ofcourse, I was the only one atDisneyland wearing a Halo thatday!”Events such as these are

designed by Rancho recreationtherapist Julie Helgren to breakthe monotony of a lengthy hospi-tal stay. “These outings boost self-esteem and provide hope forpatients,” Julie said. “But Rita’sgoal was a big one…she wantedto get back on the track. After see-ing the miracles that have hap-pened at Rancho over the nearly30 years I have been workingthere, I have learned that almostanything is possible. So we helpedRita fight harder and harder eachday to reach her goal.”“My Rancho team encouraged

me to go back to school, to run-ning and everything else I hadbeen involved in, and amazingly Iwas back at home just two monthsafter my accident,” Rita says. “Icontinued with outpatient therapyand regular check-ups at Ranchoand I was getting stronger day byday.”Soon Rita was back at college.

She was also back on the track,but not as a competitor during the2010 season. “My coaches andteammates at GlendaleCommunity College wanted me tostay close to the team, so I sat outa year of competition and becamean assistant coach for the trackand field team.”Last summer, Rita signed up to

volunteer at Rancho. “I loved mystay there,” Rita says. “I wanted toreturn the favor and be there tohelp.”Like with most patients who

come to Rancho, rosy outcomesare not quick or easy. Outstanding

outcomes require hard work andtremendous expertise by a dedi-cated treatment team like the oneat Rancho. This is a major reasonwhy Rancho is the only hospitalaccredited in PediatricRehabilitation by the Commissionon Accreditation of RehabilitationFacilities.“In an era where the healthcare

industry is being asked to do morewith less funding, Rancho contin-ues to innovate so that we canhelp patients like Rita,” saysRancho Chief Executive OfficerJorge Orozco. “Rancho makes itpossible for our patients withmajor strokes, spinal cord injuries,brain injuries, birth defects andother disabling conditions to buildbridges to independence so theymay return to their family, work orschool,”Against all odds, Rita has

returned to the world of competi-tive track and field. “It was along, hard road back, but I finallystarted running again,” she says.“And this year, I am not only backon the team, I am a team captain."In fact, she plays a pivotal role onthe team, because she competes inthe 200 meters, 400 meters, 4x100meter relay, 4x400 meter relayand the long jump.“Rita is an inspiration to every

member of our team, and everystudent, teacher and administratorat our school, says GlendaleCommunity College Track CoachEddie Lopez. “Nobody is morededicated or trains harder thanRita. She is like an angel whoeveryone loves and respects.What she has overcome is unbe-lievable. It just shows you howpowerful the human spirit canbe.”“I have approached or sur-

passed my personal bests in everyevent I’m competing in,” Ritasays. “This season I have alreadycut my 400 meter time by almostfive seconds and long jumpedover 17 feet. I know that none ofthis would have been possiblewithout the incredible care I got atRancho. My doctors, therapistsand nurses hung in there with meeach day until I started to believeI could get back on the track. NowI am running faster than ever.”Rita’s story will be featured in

a special video tribute at theRancho Los Amigos Foundation’supcoming Amistad Gala, whichwill be held Saturday, May 7 atthe Westin Long Beach Hotel.

Despite all she has accom-plished, Rita believes she’s onlyjust begun. “Now my dream is tocome back to Rancho not as apatient, but as doctor, “Rita says.“I want to help others like me findhope and a pathway to a betterlife, just as Rancho has done forme.”Dr. Montes believes she will

succeed. “I know that when shereaches her goal, she will havespecial healing powers because ofwhat she’s learned from her ownjourney,” Dr. Montes says. “Thesky’s the limit for Rita!”For more information, please callthe Rancho Los AmigosFoundation at (562) 401-7053 orvisit www.rancho.org.

DOWNEY – Local philanthro-pist Dr. Mary Stauffer was admit-ted to Downey Regional MedicalCenter on March 24 to removewhat she described as an intestinalobstruction. She says it had beenbothering her for quite some time.After almost three weeks of rest

at DRMC, she is now rehabbing atVilla Elena Healthcare Center inNorwalk. She was originallyscheduled to be transferred toDowney Rehab on ParamountBoulevard, but the facility was full.She was in mid-lunch munch-

ing on a burger when I paid her avisit on Monday. Her tray also hadcatsup, mayonnaise, orange sec-tions, non-dairy cream, and coffee.It was her first “solid” meal, shesaid.She also said she mostly felt

less weak than tired. Her visitors sofar were old familiar faces — Dr.Wendy Doty and Roger Brossmer,Martha Sodetani, Jackie Dudley,John Lacey, Ed Sussman, MarioGuerra, family — and, as I stood

At 104, Zelma Crowderreflects on life

DOWNEY – Speaking with Zelma Crowder means taking a tripthrough time that many of us could never comprehend.On March 28, Crowder turned 104; she is currently living at Lakewood

Park Manor, an assisted living facility in Downey. She spends her daysrelaxing in her recliner, reminiscing about a time most can only imagine.She was born in Oklahoma on March 28, 1904, the very year

Oklahoma was admitted as the 46th U.S. state. She was a daughter toHarry and Ida Myers, the second oldest of five children.An alumni of Red Rock High School, Crowder says her fondest mem-

ories are the times she spent playing guard for the school's basketballteam.Soon after graduating high school, she opened the Zelma V. Crowder's

Cafe in Oklahoma City, which she describes as a simple cafe with eightstools and a table for two. Despite the fact that the cafe has since been torndown, she fondly remembers her time as owner, server, cashier and jani-tor.Married once to "the most wonderful man," she had no children but is

visited regularly by her nephew, Jay, and his wife, Anne Bartels.With enough life experience to fill an encyclopedia, she modestly says

she has had a "great life" and would do it all the same if she could.

Crime ReportThursday, April 7At 5:30 p.m., officers arrested a 53-year-old woman from Bellflower after wit-nesses reported seeing her assault a 30-year-old dependent woman in a wheel-chair inside the Ross Department Store at the Downey Landing. The suspectwas identified as the victim’s caretaker and was booked for abusing a depend-ent adult.

Friday, April 8At around 12 a.m., anAnaheim resident was standing outside a bar in the 9300block of Telegraph Road when he was approached by three males who phys-ically assaulted him and stole his wallet and cell phone.

Central Basin water district, etc. – accounting for nearly half of the wateroperations budget) have in the meantime seen dramatic increases.The current water rates, he said, do not meet the operating expenses of

the system. The city has been operating at a deficit three years in a row,and ”the increasing costs have become a burden on the city’s generalfund.”Also, he pointed out, “much of the Downey water system was con-

structed during the post-WWII building boom, more than 60 years ago.Some water wells are even older. Downey continues to rehabilitate theseold pipes and wells. But the recent water system master plan identifiedprojects that are essential for the safety, security, and reliability of thewater system. One of these is the addition of 750 acre-ft./year to the sys-tem. These pressing improvement projects have been delayed becausethere are not enough funds available to pay for the projects.”“Without the rate adjustment,” he went on, “the integrity of the city’s

water system will be seriously compromised.”Residents who have questions about the proposed water rate adjust-

ment may call the city’s public works department at (562) 904-7102.

Museum of Natural History, theMead Film and Video Festival isthe longest-running showcase forinternational documentaries in theUnited States. It screens documen-taries aimed at raising nationalunderstanding of the complexityand diversity of the Earth’s peoplesand cultures.Encompassing a broad spec-

trum of non-narrative work, theMead Festival presents the best indocumentary, experimental films,animation, hybrid works, and more.The festival debuts at the AmericanMuseum of Natural History eachfall and travels with a portion of thefestival to universities and muse-ums across the country and aroundthe world.“This has been a pretty success-

ful series,” said Steven Rousso-Schindler, CSULB’s assistant pro-fessor of anthropology and organiz-er of this year’s Mead event. “TheMead specializes in visual anthro-pology, a subfield of culturalanthropology that is concerned withthe study and production of ethno-graphic photography, film and newmedia. Each film will be accompa-nied by a faculty member’s presen-tation about a topic related to thefilm.”This year’s festival opens with

2008’s “A Mountain Musical,” a52-minute film directed byAustrianfilmmaker Eva Eckert. A man tearsout his wife's hair.A young poacher is shot down byhis father. A pig is butchered. Forthe people of the rural and industri-al communities that surround theAlpine community of Erzberg,these lyrics comprise the stories oftheir lives. With a fine art photogra-pher's eye for composition and thepatience of a paid-by-the-hour psy-chiatrist, Eckert coaxes old-timersinto performing these songs.The curtain rises next on the 57-

minute “Shooting with Mursi,” a2009 Ethiopian drama directed byOlisarali Olibui and Ben Young.Deep in Ethiopia’s Omo Valley, theMursi are a nomadic people ruledby consensus and elders.Uprooting seasonally in order tograze their cattle, they find them-selves encircled by three nationalparks, none of which they areallowed to enter.

“There Once Was an Island: TeHenua e Nnoho,” directed in 2010by Briar March.

eling showcase for ethnographicfilms, and it demonstrates thedepartment’s commitment to visualanthropology,” Rousso-Schindler

said. “I hope this series will help toattract students to CSULB from allover the state. Plus, seeing how ourstudents have taken a growing rolein the festival’s organizationdemonstrates that there is a realinterest in programs like these.”He also noted how the festival
