At the Monrovia City Council meeting last week, Robert Silverstein, an attor-ney who represents the own-ers of a property involved in the proposed development of the Gold Line Construc-tion Authority’s Mainte-nance and Operations Yard in Monrovia, accused the

Council of violating the Brown Act and the Mayor of conflicts of interest in various actions.

The allegation of a viola-tion of the Brown Act, which promotes open actions by government bodies, involved the statement made by May-or Mary Ann Lutz at the

meeting. Lutz was respond-ing to a letter from a citizen requesting that the council place on the agenda the matter of holding Clarence Shaw’s seat open while he is on active duty in the United States Military.

Lutz explained that Shaw’s seat was being held

open for him in support of his service to the country. Shaw, a major in the Army Reserve, was called back to active duty earlier this summer. The Council is holding that seat open in accordance with Sec-tion 395.8 of the Military and

For a decade now, the world has watched as ‘ground zero’ has transformed from massive piles of debris caused by two highjacked jets flown into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. As

each year passed a rather slow progression of rebuild-ing, redesigning and reflec-tion has taken place at the site where so many people lost their lives. Each year New York has grown, spiritually,

emotionally and the World Trade Center site forever evolved to the point on Sun-day where the reflecting pool was opened for the first time for families of the victims who lost their lives in the terrorist

attacks.I was in New York Sept

28, 2001 as my father was undergoing some serious brain cancer treatment (s).

As I sit facing the com-puter to type Dorothy’s Place before my Saturday deadline, 9/11/11 has not arrived just yet. It is but a day away with all the memories and events it will bring with it. I cannot be glib at this moment. Thus, I think I shall share with you some sage thoughts I have accumulated from books, the net and from life.

*Be kinder than neces-sary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

*A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.

*If you want your dreams to come true, you mustn’t oversleep.

*Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.

*The best vitamins for making friends......B1.

*The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

*The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge.

*One thing you can give and still keep is your word.

*You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself.

*If you lack the cour-age to start, you have al-ready finished.

*One thing you can’t recycle is wasted time.

*Ideas won’t work un-less You do.

*Your mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

*The 10 command-ments are not a multiple choice.

*The pursuit of happi-ness is the chase of a life-time.

*It is never too late to

become what you might have been.

*Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget the ones who don’t. Believe every-thing happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

*Friends are like bal-loons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we’ve let them fly away.

*Sometimes we are so caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong that we forget what’s right and wrong. Sometimes we just don’t realize what real friendship means until it is too late.

*Hang on tight...don’t let your balloons fly away.

Don’t Get in the Way of Corporate Frenemies…Especially French Ones (Love Crime)MOVIE REVIEW BY MICHAEL J. GONZALEZ

In director Alain Cor-neau’s new thriller Crime d’amour (Love Crime), two fiercely ambitious French women near the height of their corporate advertising careers play a deadly game of sabotage in a race to the top of the business world. Kristin Scott Thomas and sultry French movie star Ludvine Sagnier play the lead parts in this taut thriller where we know early-on who dunnit but are far more

scintillated by how it was done. Thomas is eerily convincing as the cold and ruthless Christine, the top executive at an advertising firm who is out to destroy the equally menacing, al-though seemingly more demure, Isabelle (Sagnier). The film is so cleverly con-structed that every twist and turn will force you to reconsider all of your as-sumptions about the op-posing themes expressed in the film, that of boss/

subordinate, love/betray-al, and admiration/envy. French actor Patrick Mille also does an excellent job at playing Philippe, a proverbial corporate sy-cophant who will do any-thing to further his career, including sleeping with both his counterparts, only to quickly realize that he’s merely prey in this world of female predators.

Methodist Hospital will sponsor a free commu-nity open house 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Septem-ber 17, to celebrate the up-coming opening of its new patient tower. The hospital is located at 300 West Hun-tington Drive in Arcadia.

The Foothill Unity Center will honor former Monrovia Mayor Bob Bartlett and Pasadena res-tauranteur Robin Salazar will be honored for the dedication to the center and to their communities as a whole. This will be the 13th annual Gold Plate Award Celebration and is the major fund raiser of the year for the center.

Bartlett and Salazar are being feted with the center’s highest honor, the Heart in Hand Hu-manitarian Award. The celebration will be held at Santa Anita Race Track in Arcadia on September 22. The evening will include silent and live auctions, an al fresco trackside din-ner, live entertainment and more. For further informa-tion or to purchase tickets go to wwwwww.foothill-unitycenter.org or contact Gerald at the Center, (626) 358-3486.

Bob Bartlett was born and raised in Monrovia and attending Monrovia Schools. He ran for and

was elected to the Monro-via City Council in 1974 because, as he explains it, he saw hi hometown floundering. He along with other members of the Council turned the dying city around especially with the use of the Monrovia Redevelopment Agency. He eventually became the first African American mayor of the city when he was appointed to the of-fice by his fellow council members. He became its first elected mayor in 1988 when the city shifted to a direct election of the may-or. He served another 13 years a mayor.

During his years in of-fice Bartlett served as the President of the California League of Cities and the Southern California As-sociation of Governments as well as chairman of the Transportation and Infra-structure Committee for the National League of Cities. Among his many accomplishments he had a major role in creating the Foothill Transportation

Zone and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Govern-ments.

Earlier this year when honored with the 2011 Life Changers Achievement Award, Bartlett made a comment upon his work in Monrovia and the San Gabriel Valley as a whole. He said: “It’s not only re-developing the buildings and edifices that’s impor-tant. You have to change the hearts and minds of people.”

In contrast, Robin Salazar, owner of Robin’s in Pasadena, grew up in Milwaukee and got his start in the restaurant busi-ness at sixteen, washing dishes at the local IHOP there. It took him only 7 years to more up to buying the place. Being a bright human being, after a win-ter visit to Southern Cali-fornia (have you any idea what Wisconsin winters are like?) he moved here and bought what is now Robin’s Woodfire BBQ and Grill.

In addition to his work

in rebuilding his business, Salazar has become active in working for local low to moderate income people in Northwest Pasadena. In 2007, in partnership with Neighbors Acting Togeth-er Helping All (NATHA), he founded The Lemon-ade Brigade, a youth en-trepreneurship program that helps youths in the Pasadena Unified School District learn about starting and running a business. Proceeds of their sales at local events go toward scholarships and college field trips.

In 2010, with his team and partner Walt Jackson, Salazar started the United Pasadena Food Bank at the Jackie Robinson Center. This is a privately funded, volunteer-staffed program which works with Pasa-dena restaurant to donate extra food to the needy. Its Wednesday hot meal pro-gram is now serving some 175 people a week and growing.

Unity Center To Honor Bob Bartlett and Robin SalazarBY SUSAN MOTANDER

Senior Citizens are not keeping their vaccinations up to date. Far too many adults become ill, disabled or die each year from dis-eases that could easily have been prevented by keep-ing their vaccinations cur-rent. Arcadia Senior Ser-vices in partnership with

Methodist Hospital have a special guest speaker, Dr. Joel Streng, a specialist in infectious disease. He will present a free health lec-ture on Tuesday, Septem-ber 27, 1:30pm at the Ar-cadia Community Center, 365 Campus Drive.

Unfortunately some

adults were never vaccinat-ed as children or the newer vaccines were not avail-able when some adults were young. Immunity can fade over time and we become more susceptible to serious diseases caused by common infections such as flu, pneumonia,

etc. Dr. Streng will speak about what immunizations senior citizens should have and why and how often we should repeat them.

Pre-registration is re-quired and can be made by calling Arcadia Senior Services 626.574.5130 be-fore September 21.

Sierra Madre’s iconic landmark Pinney House, was built by Samuel and Joseph Cather Newsom in 1887. The Queen Anne-style structure was com-missioned as a thirty-room hotel by former Civil War surgeon Dr. Elbert Pin-ney to accommodate East Coasters arriving in droves to buy up property dur-ing the Los Angeles land

boom of 1885-1888. Over the years it has served as a sanatorium, boarding house, ballroom dance stu-dio, apartment complex, and film location. The 10,000 square foot build-ing has been restored into a single-family residence with ten bedrooms.. It’s listed just under $3 Mil-lion• 225 N. Lima Street

Jake Glaser, Pediatric AIDS Foundation

Jones earned his BS in Zoology from Brigham Young University and his Administrative Credential from Cal Poly Pomona. He has taught in Arcadia schools for 27 years with the first six at Foothills Middle School and the last 21 at Arcadia High teaching Bi-ology, Biophysical Science, Anatomy and Physiology, Leadership Dynamics and Specifically Designed Aca-demic Instruction Science.

An exceptional teacher by all accounts, Jones’ edu-cational journey to a teach-ing career took a little longer than some.

Married at an early age, Jones and his wife Debbie raised five children while he attended school and worked at different jobs. Through time, Jones delivered news-papers, operated a back hoe as a grave digger, was an orderly in a surgical hospital ward, and owned and op-erated two Baskin Robbins ice cream stores. When he earned his degree in 1984, Debbie and all five children were there for his gradua-tion.

Of his classroom Jones says, “Step inside my class-room and expect the unex-pected. This is not to say that careful thought and

preparation have not been dedicated to each lesson, rather it makes reference to the exciting, unanticipated learning experiences that await my students on a daily basis. Step inside and soak up the stimulating sights, scents, and sounds of sci-ence that fill the room and the minds of my students.”

Veterans Code of the State of California. The code says the council “may” appoint an interim seat holder, but does not require it to do so.

City Attorney Craig Steele then spoke to the re-quirements of the law and the actions required of the council. Lutz asked a few questions of the city attorney to clarify the issue. No vote was taken by the council, nor were the other members of the council involved in any sort of discussion of the issue.

Major Shaw is currently on active duty and because his duties require him to be in Everett, Washington, he is not able to attend Coun-cil meetings, however, in a phone interview Shaw said that he reads his weekly council reports and is aware of what is happening in Mon-rovia. He also said that he reads this newspaper in its on line edition even before his weekly copy is sent to him by the city staff. According to Scott Ochoa, Monrovia City Manager, he is in regu-lar contact with Shaw and if the need arises and Shaw’s service requirements allow, he can be connected elec-tronically with the rest of the council within the hearing of the public.

The same citizen who had sent a letter to the coun-cil, sent another to the District Attorney’s Public Integrity Unit requesting an investiga-tion of the alleged violation of the Brown Act. According to the city manager, that unit is diligently investigating the al-legation. “I know that they have reviewed the written record and I understand they may have viewed the video tape of the proceeding,” Ochoa said. He said that he expected a decision from the D.A.’s office shortly.

In a totally separate mat-ter, Silverstein accused May-or Mary Ann Lutz of a con-flict of interest in voting on matters pertaining to Monro-via Redevelopment Agency (MRA) property saying that the mayor owned property within 1000 feet of the MRA property south of Huntington Drive. It is true that Lutz and her husband own one condo-minium unit which is approx-imately 700’ from the MRA property, however, the law says there is only a conflict if the property is within 500’ of the MRA area. There is no conflict of interest here under the law.

“When my husband and I purchased the condo in 2009. I was not yet the mayor of Monrovia and I had not be appointed as a representative to the GLCA’s Joint Powers Agreement Board. I was not the alternate on the GLCA Board,” Lutz said. She fur-ther explained, “I knew the law required that I recuse myself from any votes on MRA property if my prop-erty were within 500’ of the MRA area. I knew that the single unit we owned was at least 640’ from that area, and probably more.”

A check with the Monro-via Planning Division showed the condo is indeed further away. “The property in ques-tion is close to 700’ feet away from the MRA area,” said Steve Sizemore, Community Development Director. He called the Mayor’s owner-ship of the condo with her husband, a “non-issue.”

A third issue raised by Silverstein which has nothing to do with the other two, was a possible conflict of interest in the mayor serving as an al-ternate to the GLCA Board. On August 8, Lutz resigned her position as a result of a petition filed with the State Attorney General requesting the right to sue eight mem-

bers and alternates to the GLCA Board. The request was filed by Chris Sutton, co-council with Silverstein in representing a property own-er involved with the GLCA’s authority’s development of its M & O yard.

According to Lutz, she resigned because the petition questioned the ability of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments’ ability to appoint anyone to an alter-nate position. “It was not because of other allegations in the petition. I resigned because I was not sure the COG had the ability to ap-point me as an alternate,” Lutz said.

According to Ochoa, the petition filed by Sutton is on hold until action by the governor regarding Assem-bly Bill 706 which is currently before him for signature hav-ing been passed by both the assembly and state senate. AB706 would allow Council members to serve on boards such as the GLCA.

The important point is that these are three separate issues according the Lutz. “Mr. Silverstein is a zealous advocate for his client, but he is confusing several issues, “ Lutz said.

In addition to present-ing four Grade I stakes races, Santa Anita Park will host its fourth Gourmet Food Truck Festival on Breeders’ Cup Challenge Day, Saturday, Oct. 1.

Santa Anita has host-ed three highly successful Food Truck Festivals in its infield area this year, most recently on May 14.

“Santa Anita was the first to bring the idea of Food Truck Festivals to Southern California race-tracks and we look forward

to this event continuing that tradition,” said Santa Anita President George Haines. “We will be of-fering some of the best racing we’ve seen all year and there’s no doubt this could be the biggest day of our Autumn Meet.

“We’ve found that the Food Truck Festi-vals deliver a terrific de-mographic for us. The crowds are family-oriented and we feel this is a great opportunity for us to intro-duce our sport to an en-

tirely new group of people. The vendors consider this an ideal venue and they realize Santa Anita is a perfect place for them to maintain and expand their own fan base,” he added.

Approximately 70 vendors are expected on Oct. 1, including promi-nent food trucks such as The Grilled Cheese Truck, the Lobsta Truck, Ra-gin Cajun, Shrimp Pimp, White Rabbit, Nom Nom and many more.

The Food Truck Festi-

val is free, with paid Gen-eral Admission of $5 to Santa Anita. All parking lots will open at 10:30 a.m. Admission gates will open at 11 a.m.

Festival operating hours will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. First race post time at Santa Anita is 1 p.m.

For more information on the Oct. 1 Food Truck Festival, fans are encour-aged to visit www.santa-anita.com, or to call (626) 574-RACE.

Ever been afraid to go to a children’s participa-tion play? Don’t be. June Chandler’s Fairy Tale The-ater production “The Sor-cerer’s Apprentice” gives even its non-target audience a very good show. And the special effects--in a word, im-pressive. Every member of the family can enjoy this fol-low up to The Sierra Madre Playhouse’s hit participation musical, “Cinderella”; from little Susie up through Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, and back down to little Tommy. Swordfights, damsels in distress, rapid-fire dialogue that recalls “The Princess Bride” and Danny Kaye’s classic “The Court Jester”--there’s something for everyone waiting in the vel-vet seats of the Sierra Madre Playhouse. Intrigued? Here’s how to go about it.

After stepping into the

Sierra Madre Playhouse’s air-conditioned corridor, ev-ery patron receives a glow-stick--er, magic wand--and a shiny gold coin, light as a feather. A few steps further and they reach the red velvet seats waiting patiently to be filled. The Playhouse houses 104 standard seats, with some extra foldables in the back. The lights in the theatre are dim, but faint gold sparkles are seen on the stage--mad-deningly indiscernible in the darkness. A silver cauldron sits proudly at stage left.

Fifteen minutes after eleven o’clock the show starts, although it’s official start time is eleven o’clock flat. A young man bursts into the theatre from the back doors, visibly sweating and asking the audience “Am I late? Did I miss the audition for the almighty sorcerer?” This is our hero, the hope-

ful Sorcerer’s Apprentice (Derek Coleman, effortlessly magical) named Merlin the Magician. After some small banter with the audience, he reaches the stage, and starts to practice his magic for the audition. An unfortunate spell misfire gives him rab-bit ears, which remain for a goodly part of the show. Our Apprentice isn’t completely inept--one particular trick with a coloring book will defi-nitely cause even adults to scratch their heads in confu-sion--but he’s nowhere near ready to assume the mantle of the all-mighty Sorcerer of the Universe (Michael Evans, whose beard drops majesti-cally from atop a ten-foot lad-der all the way to the floor) and as such, Merlin is given five tasks to prove his worth.

The tale is a familiar one, but it succeeds in tak-ing the characters and giving

them a twist. Our damsel-in-distress (Lindsay Hopper, whose guiding voice makes a lovely sound) reaches out to Merlin through a crystal ball, and she is clever and helpful, guiding him from start to fin-ish in the tasks. Merlin is also helped by two animal famil-iars: scene-stealers Harriett Hare (Helen Frederick, with fish-net stockings that steal the scene from everyone) and Sly Fox (Barry Schwam, whose impeccable mannerisms and costume turn him into a real Renard). This unlikely trio, crystal ball in bag, travels all around the world within the theatre doors; up and down aisles, across the back, and back up to the stage, avoiding screaming eagles and receiv-ing help from all the young “magicians” in the audience with those glowing wands.

Our Apprentice grows in strength and confidence, in time to reach the test of clev-erness, put to him by twin witches--one good, one evil, neither discernable. Itchy Witch (Lynda Rohrbacher, the good witch) and Twitchy Witch (Joyce Sindel, the evil witch) pose the age-old “poi-son in the glass” riddle. Mer-lin, Sly Fox, and Dee Dee Damsel, from her crystal ball, wrestle with the answer to the riddle in Court Jester-esque fashion while Harriett Hare watches worriedly from un-der the table, and not even her ubiquitous carrot can dis-tract her from the wordplay. The audience audibly chuck-les as our heroes banter at rapid-fire pace.

Once the riddle is solved and poison avoided, Merlin must face his toughest test of all: a seven-foot dragon (Ron Johnston) glowing in the dark and rumbling for a

fight. Merlin and the dragon perform a stunning fight se-quence, with the sparks from the “swords” the only thing visible in the blackened the-atre during the dramatic bat-tle. The pitch-perfect sound accompaniment of rolling thunder further heightens the dramatic tension. Lest the sto-ry become too intense for the little ones, the lights pop back on and Merlin discovers the dragon’s secret weakness: barbeque. With the dragon happily off to a barbeque, Merlin is finally able to find his lady-love Dee Dee Dam-sel and win the coveted job of “Sorcerer of the Universe”. The previous sorcerer, you see, just wanted to retire to Bermuda, and happily trots down the aisle in a Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops.

The Quest is accom-

plished, the maiden is freed, the day is won, and the play finishes with a flourish in the tight running time of one hour. After the show, the cast is available in the front of the theatre for autographs and pictures. Their genuine love and enthusiasm for both the play and their audience is refreshing. “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” is good fun for everyone, and a very refresh-ing twist on the old story.

“The Sorcerer’s Ap-prentice” runs at 11:00 on Sat-urday, September 17 and 24. Tickets are $18 for adult and $12 for child. They can be purchased online at www.si-erramadreplayhouse.org, by phone at (626) 355-4318, or at the box office at 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd, Sierra Madre, CA 91024.

Huntington Medical Foundation (HMF) an-nounced today that Jen-nifer Chang, M.D., an endocrinologist and gradu-ate of the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, will be joining its medical staff Sept. 1. She will be located at the HMF office in Pasa-dena.

A resident of Mon-terey Park, Dr. Chang re-cently completed her fel-lowship in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center fol-lowing an internship and residency in internal medi-cine at Kaiser Perman-ente, Los Angeles Medical Center. She is licensed by the American Board of Internal Medicine and is a member of the Ameri-can Diabetes Association, American Thyroid Asso-ciation, the American As-

sociation of Clinical Endo-crinologists, the American College of Physicians and the American Medical As-sociation.

Endocrinology is the study of the glands and hormones of the body and their related disorders. Although every organ sys-tem secretes and responds to hormones (including the brain, lungs, heart, in-testine, skin and kidney), endocrinology focuses primarily on those organs whose primary function is hormone secretion. These organs include the pitu-itary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, testes and pan-creas. As an endocrinolo-gist, Dr. Chang specializes in treating disorders of the endocrine system, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, osteoporosis and many others.

“One of the real ben-efits that Huntington Medi-

cal Foundation provides its patients is easy and af-fordable access to physi-cians across a wide spec-trum of specialties,” says Dr. Chang. “I’m excited about the opportunity to work with my colleagues in making sure that all of our patients get the care they need with the courtesy and respect they deserve. I believe my training and research will be a great complement to the health of our community.”

Dr. Chang earned both her Bachelor of Sci-ence degree and her medical degree from USC. While there she was awarded the American Thyroid Association Trav-el Grant to attend the 2010 International Thyroid Con-gress in Paris, France. She also earned the Endocrine Society Medical Student Achievement Award and was named both a USC

Renaissance Scholar and a USC Trustee Scholar.

Dr. Chang’s office is located at 55 East Cali-fornia Blvd., Suite 204, in Pasadena. Appointments may be made by calling 626-397-8323.

Founded in 1994, Hun-tington Medical Founda-tion’s 70 physicians serve area adults and children at eight offices throughout the San Gabriel Valley. In addition to primary care doctors, the medical foun-dation includes specialists in a variety of areas, all of whom are either board certified or board eligible. The medical foundation also provides the clinical staff for Pasadena Com-munity Urgent Care, filling an important gap between a patient’s primary care doctor and a hospital’s emergency department.

There are few words to describe the hectic weekend experienced by the La Salle cheer team. They started the week-end gearing-up for one of the Lancers most spirited games versus rival Mara-natha High School. They participated with nearly 1,000 cheerleaders during the UCLA halftime show at the Rose Bowl. And fi-nally, served dinner to Pas-adena firefighters in honor of 9/11.

Friday evening the girls cheered their hearts out in support of the Lanc-er football team. Saturday began with five hours of practice before the big

UCLA halftime show at the Rose Bowl. The girls rep-resented over 20,000 cheer-leaders of the United Spirit Association during the halftime show at UCLAs home opener. Over 25 schools were represented and more than 40,000 fans, including La Salle alumni and parents, saw the girls perform. The squad, in their La Salle red and blue uniforms, were even fea-tured on the Rose Bowl’s big screen.

The Lancer Cheer squad ended the weekend serving dinner to the Pasa-dena firefighters of Sta-tion 37. For the third year in a row, La Salle Cheer

and Domenico’s Pasa-dena teamed up to feed the firehouse. This year’s dinner was certainly more emotional than in the past. Commemorating the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the firefighters shared stories of their experiences on that day and of the trepidation of not knowing what might come next. The govern-ment had issued a warning of an attack on the west coast and these men and women were feverishly pre-paring to aid all of Los An-geles if any terrorist attack occurred. They recounted memories of seeing the sec-ond tower hit and later, the towers collapsing knowing

their “bothers and sisters” were inside. “Although the cheerleaders can read about it in history books, and watch it on TV, there is nothing like hearing the stories direct from the true heroes,” said Meagan Loo-mis, cheer coach. “What an honor and humbling experience it was to do something so small, but so meaningful that Sunday night,” commented Kelly Ikeda, cheer captain.

The La Salle Lanc-ers Cheer Squad will next support Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D) by joining them on their 5k walk on September 24th in Long Beach.

On the ten year anniver-sary of Sept. 11, thousands of ceremonies to remember, pay homage and commemorate the day that the United States was attacked were convened across the nation. In addition to official local tributes, 40 plus cyclists, based primarily out of Monrovia, honored the day by visiting firefighters in the area simply to say thank you for the incredible sacri-

fices these men and women make on a daily basis.

The group visited sta-tions in Duarte, Arcadia, San Gabriel, San Marino, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, and Monrovia. Sporting Ameri-can flags, and a sign which read “We will never forget”. 343 firefighters lost their lives trying to save others on Sep-tember 11, 2001.

The group is made up

of cyclists who ride primarily out of Stan’s bike shop. “We normally do a Sunday ride but I thought that it would be appropriate and fitting to do a ride to honor the 343 fireman of FDNY.” Said one of the organizers.

Other cyclists who don’t normally participate in the usual Sunday run joined in to pay tribute to 9/11 respond-ers.

Area Cyclists Remember Firefighters Lost by Visiting Area Firehouses

Highlights of the week-end will include live Greek entertainment from the Olympians, and featured special guests Miltos Kranias from Greece and Kostas Skrepetos from NYC, seven different visual artists from the International Greek Artists Foundation from Fair Oaks, CA, authentic Greek cuisine and pastries, live cooking demonstrations, a live wine

chat with Yiannis Skakiana-kis of Pavlidis Winery from Drama Greece, the Olympic Taverna Sports Bar & Cigar Lounge, Greek folk dancing, lectures about Greek history and religion and a Kid’s Fun Zone with carnival games, rides and prizes.

Clockwise: Hickville, Long Island NY firefighters pay tribute to former Chief Terrence Farrell at a ceremony on the morning of the tenth anniversary of the attacks that took nearly 3000 lives. Mayor Bllomburg speaks on a massive flat screen at Ground Zero with one of the new towers well under construction in the background. Mean-while, twoof New York’s finest pause for a momemt of reflection in front of an airbrushed mural of the NYC land-marks that were brought down by the attacks ten years ago. Hicksville firefighters stand in a moment of silence. -Photos by Terry Miller

He was in hospital when the planes hit the towers. While overwhelmed by my Dad’s condition and prognosis I was also compelled to go to the scene of destruction while in NY. What I witnessed a block away that day was un-like anything I had seen in my 30 years photographing disasters.

Coincidentally this week’s 10th anniversary of those terrible attacks on Sep-tember 11, 2001 falls on my mother’s 80th birthday (actu-ally on Sept. 9), which is why I was in New York. My sister had arranged some rather magnificent events commem-orating a woman who has de-voted her life to people - first as a nurse in Hammersmith Hospital in London; the a devoted wife and mother; then as a very conscientious nursery school teacher; and

of course the inevitable “job” as proud grandmother to 7 grandchildren who of course can do no wrong.

Feeling constrained once again to witness New York’s commemoration of this 10th anniversary, I ven-tured to Manhattan via the Long Island Railroad and then the E train (subway) to the World Trade Center.

Before I boarded the train to NYC I attended a service at Hicksville Fire Dept. where two firefighters: Terrence Farrell and George Howard were lost that day re-sponding to the World Trade Center. It was a deeply mov-ing tribute for two men I never met. Later in the day, I discovered my Mom knew not only one of the firefight-ers but the family happened to live on the same road and were close with my nieces

and nephew. As with firehouses across

the United States, Hicks-ville’s Fire Dept. honored their fallen heroes with dig-nity and a deep sense of duty to their community. We can never thank our firefighters enough for what they face each day.

The police presence was extraordinarily high as there had apparently been “cred-ible” threats to New York or Washington DC. I think that every NYC cop was on duty Sunday, at least it looked like it.

Firefighters from all over the United States were in their dress blues were tearful but also celebrating their proud and courageous profession. I witnessed so many people just saying “thank you” to the Firefighters and Police. Proud firefighters paused to take

photos with their fans. It was another year of healing some very deep wounds.

Protests on Chambers Street reminded passersby that not all Islamic peoples are terrorists and that hate and bigotry is not the answer.

It was all peaceful - I wit-nessed no violence but a few strong reactions to those pro-testing Military action in the Middle East.

In all, the commemora-tion of September 11 was a powerful testament that New Yorkers are resilient and deeply moved by the world’s attention last Sunday.

As each name of those lost 10 years ago was read, a giant screen provided visual testament of the pain that will never go away for the fami-lies of those who lost their lives ten years ago.

New York Commemorates September 11 with the World on 10th Anniversary of Attacks

Master Chorale Launches 48th Season, Dazzling Gala Caps Opening Night Concert

Music Director Grant Gershon conducts the Los Angeles Master Chorale. -Photo credit Lee Salem.

Mayor Gary Kovacic was installing official, shown here with (l-r) David Lee, Dr. Edward Wong and Alice Wang. The three were presented with congratulatory certificates by Steve Johnson, field rep for Assemblyman Tim Don-nelly, Julianne Sumiko Hines, District Director for Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Kovacic, for their outstanding service to the community. Mayor Kovacic used the theme from “The Wizard of Oz” (the lion, tin man and scarecrow), very clever. First Lady Barbara Kovacic passed out city pens as a symbol of leadership. All council members attended. Congratulations to the A.C.A. on another outstanding year.

The Los Angeles Mas-ter Chorale, one of the world’s preeminent pro-fessional choirs acclaimed for its profound versatility, opens its 48th season with an ethereal, mostly a cap-pella, musical exploration on Sunday, October 16, 2011, 7 p.m., at Walt Dis-ney Concert Hall. Music Director Grant Gershon conducts five diverse piec-es, among them the U.S. premiere of Swedish com-poser Thomas Jennefelt’s Music for a big church: for

tranquility, a mesmerizing rhythmic wall of sound, and the hauntingly beauti-ful Lux Aeterna by former LA Master Chorale Com-poser-in-Residence Morten Lauridsen, which quickly became one of the world’s most popular choral works after its premiere by the Chorale in 1997. Also fea-tured are British composer Tarik O’Regan’s Tal vex tenemos tiempo and the bluegrass triptych Heaven-ly Home by the Chorale’s own Shawn Kirchner.

The program features 115 singers as well as organist Paul Meier playing Disney Hall’s iconic pipe organ.

The concert is part of Daniel Pearl World Music Days, using music to pro-mote tolerance and hu-manity.

A post concert Gala in BP Hall, honoring LAMC Chairman Mark Foster and sponsored by BNY Mellon for the 19th consec-utive year, caps the season opener.

in the law and I am hope-ful that Governor Brown agrees,” stated Assembly-member Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge). “Open Carry puts law enforce-ment and families at risk on Main Street, Califor-nia. It wastes law enforce-ment time and attention dealing with unnecessary 911 calls about gun-toting men and women in cof-fee shops, restaurants and malls. Pedestrians, families, and those who open carry should not have to be put into these tense situations.”

AB 144 makes it a crime to openly carry an unloaded handgun in any public place or street. Vio-lations are a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a fine of up to $1000. There are a number of exemptions for law enforcement person-nel and hunters as well as others carrying unloaded weapons under specified licensed circumstances.

California is one of many states that allow so-called “open carry” which gives gun owners the right to display weapons, though in California those guns must be unloaded. Carry-ing loaded firearms in pub-lic is already against the law in California.

The dispute came to a head last year when gun enthusiasts began show-ing up in coffee shops and public beaches with unloaded guns strapped to their hips. Similar leg-islation was introduced in 2010 but did not make it to the Governor’s desk because of a miscue at the end of the session. Portan-tino took up the cause this year and worked with law enforcement to re-intro-duce the “open carry” ban.

AB 144 is supported by several law enforce-ment groups including PO-RAC – the Police Officers Research Association of California, the Los Ange-

les Sheriff’s Department, and the California Police Chiefs Association.

“Average Californians understand police officers displaying loaded weap-ons, they understand hunt-ers, and they even under-stand those folks who are legally licensed to a carry a weapon. What they don’t want is a proliferation of public displays of weap-ons for no purpose. It’s imperative that the public safety of our families and our neighbors’ families is protected. It only takes a few seconds to load and fire. This bill is a sensible public safety protection that will make such an oc-currence less likely in our neighborhoods,” conclud-ed Portantino.

AB 144 now goes back to the Assembly for what’s known as “concurrence” – a technicality that allows for approval of changes in language.

The Parkers are an in-spirational story of overcom-ing adversity as well as the aging process. They came to us after Jeannette Parker had major back surgery. She had been in the hospital for almost two months. She had not exercised in a long time. She performed musicals at the Shakespeare Club as a dancer and singer in her younger years. She is 73 years old, a wonderful lady that has a gift of writing, helping her family and giving of herself as a phi-lanthropist.

Her husband Dick Park-er had not exercised in quite a while as he said, meaning a number of years. He is a very successful business man who owns a dental products company called DENOVO. He told me he needed a little bit of conditioning work that would help him with his body as well as his brain. We found the Parkers who live in Arca-dia a very delightful couple who had some important fit-ness issues they were willing to work on.

We started slowly with basic weight training like

dumbbell curls, dumbbell bench presses, dumbbell up-right rows, dumbbell flys and other dumbbell exercises us-ing very light weight and high repetitions. We followed that with a tubing program do-ing many different types of stretching exercises as well as balancing exercises. Then we went to the TRX and did ab-dominal strengthening exer-cises and squats to strengthen their legs. We found them to be quite strong in their upper bodies for 70 plus years. One of the more unique exercises we did with these wonder-ful Parkers was boxing with Incredible Hulk gloves into a large stability ball.

As the months passed they became physically fit. They improved their balance, became stronger in the upper body, their confidence level began to show by taking a major trip to Italy which they had not done in over 10 years. Then they became California State Senior Games Powerlift-ing Champions in the Bench Press! It was a long journey from a hospital bed for Jean-nette and inactivity for Dick.

Exercise for seniors is the fountain of youth that you are looking for. A change of habits starts gradually with a little workout, with a change in what you eat, getting good rest, keeping a positive mental attitude, setting goals, looking to a bright future. God loves you. Take care of yourself. The Best Is Yet To Be! Fol-low the Parkers example and get fit today!

A young Alverno cross-country team de-buted at the 11h Annual Don Bosco Tech Cross Country Invitational held at Santa Fe Dam on Satur-day September 10, 2011. No seniors are on the team, having graduated six in 2011. This season’s Jag-uar team has four juniors, three returning; a sopho-more new to the team plus four sophomores return-ing from the 2010 Horizon League JV Championship squad; and three freshmen with some running experi-ence. Alverno competed in the Small Schools Divi-sion fielding four junior runners in the Junior-Se-nior race and the remain-ing seven runners in the Soph-Frosh race.

The Invitational marks the start of the fall cross-country season and gives teams the opportunity to test themselves and com-pare themselves against their Horizon League op-ponents. The overcast day, with much cooler tem-peratures than last year’s

scorcher and participating in the Summer Institute’s running and fitness camp, motivated the returning Alverno runners to sig-nificantly improve their times over their 20010 per-formances on the 3-mile course that has a variety of terrain which includes sand, bike trails, asphalt, dirt and grass.

This season’s team consists of Juniors Eryn Blakely, Ashley Haylett, Katherine Haysbert and Adrianna Martinez; Soph-omores Bella Daniels-Cam-pos, Reagan Dowd, Jessica Lopez, Victoria Pintado and Brett Richey; and Fro-sh runners are Rachel Ach-terman, Rose Buobion and Sophia Villalovos. Head Coach Ken Berry and As-sistant Coach Alex Fanara train the cross-country team.

Alverno’s top finish-ers at this year’s Don Bos-co Tech XC Invitational were juniors Eryn Blakely and Katherine Haysbert. The Small Schools Junior-Senior race fielded 163

runners. Blakely came in 7th place with a time of 19:06, besting her 2010 Invitational time of 21:24. Haysbert, making her team debut, finished in 11th place with a time of 19:28. “This marks the first time that Alverno has had two runners finish under 20 minutes,” said Coach Ken Berry. For their high placed finishes, Blakely and Haysbert earned med-als.

The next test for the Alverno runners will be at the Bellarmine/Griffith Park (Bell-Jeff) Cross Country Invitational on Saturday, September 24th.

Horizon League com-petition gets under way on Wednesday, September 28th at 4:00 PM at Griffith Park, hosted by Bishop Conaty. Member schools of the Horizon League are Alverno High School, Bishop Conaty-Our Lady of Loretto, Holy Family, Sacred Heart of Jesus and San Gabriel Mission.
