Rules Committee Chair-man David Dreier (R-CA) delivered the following state-ment today on the floor of the U.S. House of Represen-tatives:

“Mr. Speaker, I have chosen to leave Congress at the end of this term. I take the unusual step of an-nouncing this from the floor of Congress for two reasons. First, this is where my fellow

Robert Matheson has been released from Cana-dian Custody and is now at his Sierra Madre home.

On February 22, 2012, Sierra Madre resident Rob-ert Matheson was released from a Canadian custodial facility after serving time for child pornography-related charges.

Matheson returned home on February 23, 2012

and met with local police of-ficials on Friday morning.

Matheson voluntarily came to the police station and met with Interim Police Chief Larry Giannone. Gi-annone said “Mr. Matheson voluntarily came to the po-lice station to advise us that he was back at his residence and simply stated; “There

While Assemblyman Tim Donnelly has been charged with two misde-meanors for bringing a brief-case containing a loaded .45-caliber gun into Ontario International Airport last

month it seems unlikely that he’ll do any jail time.

The 45-year-old Twin Peaks Republican was charged Friday with ille-gal possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a prohibited item. The two counts against Donnelly car-ry maximum jail sentences of one year and six months, respectively, however judges are free to impose lighter sentences . Each also carries a potential $1,000 fine.

According to experts it seems that Donnoly will get a slap on the wrist and a small fine dur to his posi-tion in the state assembly. The San Bernardino County District Attorney's office an-nounced the filing of charges

eight weeks after Donnelly's Colt Mark IV was located by TSA as he tried board a flight to Sacramento. Don-nelly said he “regrets any in-convenience he caused.”

Donnelly had told vari-ous media conflicting reports about being forgetful but also said that he tended to arm himself because of death threats received after he launched a campaign to repeal the Dream Act.

No such death threats were verified. Donelly's gun had four rounds in its maga-zine, and a spare magazine contained five founds,

Donnelly is scheduled to appear March 15 in Ran-cho Cucamonga Superior Court.

It might just be his big-gest and best swindle to date, but convicted felon Manuel Sosa somehow pulled it off.

Records show that Manny Sosa has been ar-rested numerous times and is apparently on probation for several years and at one time

had $570,000 bond attached to his record. On Monday, Sosa got married at someone elses’ expense to the tune of $20,000

A local daily newspaper made a big splash over a cou-ple getting married due to Sosa’s failing liver condition and was granted ther wed-ding by Orange County/Los Angeles area chapter of Wish Upon a Wedding . Sosa who said he has end-stage liver disease, wanted to marry fi-ance, Adriana Tafoya. The wedding, held at The Max-well House in Pasadena on Monday night, was estimated to have cost up to $20,000. Local vendors footed the bill for time and materials..

A simple check revealed

18 charges against the felon Sosa who was listed as living in Pomona but now makes Temple City his home. Here are some of the charges Bea-con Media discovered:

We are all living on borrowed time. We mere-ly hold our lives in trust. When we come to the end of our lives on earth, we will take no material thing with us wherever we go. Wheth-er you believe in Heaven and Hell or just figure you will wind up in a hole in the ground or as ashes in an urn, make the best use you can of your borrowed time.

Emotional and spiri-tual impoverishment can-not be compensated by the comforts of material posses-sions. Being products of our society, we tell ourselves if only we had this or that, we would feel beter. So we get this or that and sure enough we feel better, but not for long. There is always an-other this or that to tempt us.

I do need private space, but I also love people. When I'm busy meeting people and cultivating friendshiips, my thoughts are not on the car I drive or the house I live in. I'm not moping or want-ing or wishing.

If we are granted the opportunity to grow old, to do it happily we must expect better things right up to the end of life and even beyond that. A good life is a grow-ing, expanding life, with ever-widening horizons, an ever-greater circle of friends and acquaintances and an ever-greater opportunity for usefulness.

I just recently lost a loved one, except to mem-ory, and what memories I have. More than once, between us, we didn't have two pennies to rub together but oh how we could laugh. We would walk in the woods and talk or just be quiet and listen to Nature. There were times we would cry but mostly we laughed. When we had enough pen-

nies we would buy peanut butter sundaes and indulge and bulge. For us, laving anything with peanut butter was like having a religious experience. We weren't al-ways consciously aware of what we were doing but we each had a knack for turn-ing an ordinary experience into a most extraordinary experience.

Her loan of life has ma-tured, her borrowed time depleted, but she truly used every moment she was giv-en. She takes nothing mate-rial with her, she leaves little material behind. She left me an inheritance of joy I hope to share with all I meet.

My tears have been shed. Now, in her memory, I'm going to take the hun-kenest big spoonful of pea-nut butter I can, slice it with my teeth into the tiniest of bites, slide them slowly over my taste buds and savor ev-ery single calorie. I will im-merse myself in the moment and I will emerge happier.

As basketball coaches for the Pasadena Ambas-sador College Royals in the ‘70’s, Jim Petty, Gil Norman and I had a mission to set a high standard of character with our basketball program just as Jeremy Lin as done in his own personal life. We used Biblical standards to display character to the world just as Jeremy is do-ing with his life. One of the reasons Jeremy has been successful is that he believes in the power of prayer. Re-cently he felt he may not be kept on the New York Knicks basketball club and he asked his friends and fel-low players to pray for his future.

His future exploded with sensational results! Winning seven games in a row, averaging over 25

points per game with as many as 10 assists, he be-came an international sen-sation! Jeremy is great for basketball as well as a won-derful example for all of us to emulate.

As a professional sports fitness trainer, I’ve worked with a number of athletes that have appeared on the Sports Illustrated cover. They include world chess champion Bobby Fischer, world high jump record holder Dwight Stones, and Indy 500 winner Danny Sul-livan. Being on the Sports Illustrated cover is a true milestone for any athlete and Jeremy reached this in just under three weeks!

Do you want to be a great leader? Do what Jer-emy does: 1) He believes in a higher power. 2) He

prays and asks for guidance. 3) He works diligently on his skill, basketball. 4) He is a team player. 5) He encour-ages fans to look to a high standard. 6) He gives a lot of credit to his family, coach-es, and teachers. 7) He has a positive mental attitude.

Let Jeremy’s story in-spire you. You have the po-tential to be better that you are. Dream, believe, work, stay positive – you may be on that Sports Illustrated some day, too! GO FOR IT!

Harry and Sarah Snei-der are coaches and train-ers who worked with some of the greatest athletes in the world. They are avail-able to work with you. Give them a call 626-355-8964 or email [email protected].

Dear Editor: The latest attack really

hits home for me. That's because it's happening in my home state: Texas.

On Thursday, Tex-as Governor Rick Perry moved to effectively sabo-tage the state's entire Med-icaid Women's Health Program, which provides 130,000 low-income wom-en with basic reproductive health care services. This comes on the heels of dev-astating cuts to women's health funding across the board — cuts already ex-pected to leave 160,000 women without care this year.

Within days and weeks, even more women — who very often have no other options — will be cut off from health care.

Governor Perry and his conservative allies have once again chosen politics over the lives of Texas women. He will never know the reality of the women that rely on these programs. He will never

know what it's like for a woman who feels a lump in her breast, but has to worry about the cost of a doctor's visit.

Political games with women's health and wom-en's lives are shameful and wrong, and they must be stopped. Please join me in letting Governor Rick Per-ry know that you are stand-ing with women in Texas to fight this egregious ac-tion. Add your name to my letter to him:

Dear Governor Perry,Shame on you.Shame on you for

putting politics before the needs of 130,000 women who rely on the Texas Medicaid Women’s Health Program.

Shame on you for telling women who need access to affordable birth control that your narrow ideology matters more than their futures.

Shame on you for denying women cancer screenings that could save their lives. You will never

know the reality of the women who rely on these programs. You will never know what it’s like for a woman who feels a lump in her breast, but has to worry about the cost of a doctor’s visit. It is uncon-scionable to cut them off from lifesaving care all because you’re part of an outdated, outrageous, and incredibly out-of-step idea of what’s good for women.

Know this: You didn’t just pick a fight with the 130,000 women who rely on the Texas Medicaid Women’s Health Pro-gram. You picked a fight with the millions of women and men who stand with them. You picked a fight with me. I will do whatever it takes to stop this ban in Texas. I will do whatever it takes to ensure that wom-en in your state continue to get the health care they need.

Sincerely,Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood

There’s barely a story in there somewhere, but you quickly stop caring once you sit back and let the filmmakers who have brought us “Knocked Up, “40 Year Old Virgin,” and “Role Models” do what they do best: raunchy, R-rated comedy, but with pretty people this time. Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd star in “Wanderlust” as a husband and wife who flee their financial woes in New York City and head toward Atlanta, Georgia, where Rudd’s egotistical brother has offered him a job at his Porta-Potty busi-

ness. They quickly, how-ever, decide to escape to the hippie commune they encountered on their drive to Atlanta, which is led by charming stoner Seth (Justin Theroux). But the couple gains more “insight” than they bargain for at this com-mune, as nudity, free love, pot, and spiritual mumbo jumbo are the order of the day. Whacky supporting characters are played by a first-rate cast, including Alan Alda as the com-mune’s acid-shocked elder statesman, Malin Akerman as the sexy, yogi girlfriend of Seth, Joe Lo Truglio as a

nudist winemaker/novelist, and Lauren Ambrose (“Six Feet Under”) and Kathryn Hahn (“Our Idiot Brother”). While the film aspires to be a story about a floundering, straight-laced couple whose commitment to each other is challenged by the pros-pect of sex with other peo-ple, it becomes clear early on that the gags and raun-chy humor take precedence over the script. The film is indeed humorous and con-tains some interesting mo-ments, but, as the trailers promise, it’s mostly dirty, situational comedy with a little soul-searching.

are two sides to every story”. The Police Department has confirmed at this time Mr. Matheson is under no obli-gation to register as a sex of-fender based on California law.

Immigration and Cus-toms Enforcement (ICE) of-ficials were notified that he would be released at the end of February, but were un-sure of the exact date. The ICE investigation regarding Matheson is still on-going.

Giannone said “ICE is

still actively working on the Matheson case, however it is a lengthy process and I am not at the liberty to discuss details of the investigation. Mr. Matheson is aware of the continuing investiga-tion”.

We contacted Virginia Kice of Homeland Securty ICE on Friday morning and we just received this re-sponse from her office:

“In response to your inquiry regarding the status of ICE Homeland Security Investigations’ (HSI) probe involving Sierra Madre resident Robert Matheson, there is no new informa-tion I can provide about the case. HSI agents executed a warrant at Mr. Matheson’s Sierra Madre residence late last year seeking evidence related to this investigation . The case remains pending at this time. The ultimate deter-mination about whether fed-eral charges will be brought in a case is made by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Also, I understand the Sierra Madre Police De-

partment has issued a news release regarding whether Mr. Matheson will be re-quired to register as a sex offender in the United States following his conviction in Canada. To be clear, HSI is not involved in that process. Here is a link to a docu-ment on the Department of Justice website outlining the registration guidelines for sex offenders – http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/smart/pdfs/final_sornaguidelines.pdf On page 16, there is specific information regarding the implications of foreign con-victions.

Here’s that Guideline as per DoJ:B. Foreign Convictions

Section 111(5)(B) of SOR-NA instructs that registration need not be required on the basis of a foreign conviction if the conviction “was not obtained with sufficient safe-guards for fundamental fair-ness and due process for the accused under guidelines or regulations established [by the Attorney General].” The following standards are adopted pursuant to section 111(5)(B):

Sex offense convictions under the laws of Canada, United Kingdom, Austra-lia, and New Zealand are deemed to have been ob-tained with sufficient safe-guards for fundamental fairness and due process, and registration must be re-quired for such convictions on the 17 same footing as domestic convictions.

Sex offense convictions under the laws of any for-eign country are deemed to have been obtained with sufficient safeguards for fundamental fairness and due process if the U.S. State Department, in its Country

Reports on Human Rights Practices, has concluded that an independent judicia-ry generally (or vigorously) enforced the right to a fair trial in that country during the year in which the convic-tion occurred. Registration must be required on the basis of such convictions on the same footing as domestic convictions.

With respect to sex of-fense convictions in foreign countries that do not satisfy the criteria stated above, a jurisdiction is not required to register the convicted person if the jurisdiction de-termines—through whatever process or procedure it may choose to adopt—that the conviction does not consti-tute a reliable indication of factual guilt because of the lack of an impartial tribunal, because of denial of the right to respond to the evidence against the person or to pres-ent exculpatory evidence, or because of denial of the right to the assistance of counsel.

The foregoing stan-dards do not mean that ju-risdictions must incorporate these particular criteria or procedures into their regis-tration systems. Jurisdictions may wish to register all for-eign sex offense convicts, or to register such convicts with fewer qualifications or limi-tations than those allowed under the standards set forth above. The stated criteria only define the minimum categories of foreign convicts for whom registration is re-quired for compliance with SORNA, and as is generally the case under SORNA, ju-risdictions are free to require registration more broadly than the SORNA minimum.

Assemblymember PortantinoAsks Legislators to Pay for Vanity

Most California driv-ers who want personalized license plates, commonly re-ferred to as vanity plates, have to pay an extra fee. Even re-tired firefighters pay the state an annual fee to be properly respected for their life time of work. Not California leg-islators. Current and retired legislators get personalized license plates almost for free.

Assemblymember An-thony Portantino (D-La Ca-ñada Flintridge) today intro-duced AB 2068 to require

legislators that have distinctive legislative license plates on their personal cars to pay the same fees that almost every-one else does for personalized license plates.

“I was shocked, but not surprised to see that legislators would carve out a special situ-ation for themselves and I’m determined to put an end to the practice,” commented Portantino.

Under existing law, cur-rent and retired legislators can ask DMV for a license plate

that designates them as a state legislator or retired state legis-lator. The cost of these plates is $12 on issuance, and no additional or annual fees are paid with subsequent yearly registration. The Department of Motor Vehicles has stated that there are 750 of these leg-islative license plates that have been issued in California. In contrast, average Californians, retired police and fire includ-ed, pay $50 upon issuance and $35 per year thereafter.

“Why should current

and former legislators get spe-cial treatment for the issuance of license plates? It makes no sense for former and sit-ting legislators to be treated any differently than everyone else,” Portantino said.

Portantino did not drive a state purchased district car, does not use an Assembly plate and has no plans to re-ceive one upon retirement.

AB 2068 will be heard in the Assembly Transporta-tion Committee in about six weeks.

To Gain Control or Not to Gain Control:The Ontario Airport Ongoing Controversy

Community Meeting on Heritage Square Affordable Senior Housing Development

Monrovia Fire Promotes Four

The recent controversy between the Ontario Airport and Los Angeles World Air-ports has stirred up quite a bit of discussion. For a while, Los Angeles World Airports, which owns Ontario Airport, has been charging very high passenger fees, which turns off potential Ontario Airport passengers. Those passen-gers end up going to LAX because passenger fees are dramatically lower at LAX than at Ontario Airport. Ontario Airport officials are concerned that their airport may be forced to shut down if this trend continues. Los Angeles World Airport of-ficials instead blame the cur-rent recession and changing business models for the lack of passengers at Ontario Air-port. However, LAX refuses to give up control because it wants to use those funds from Ontario to modernize LAX.

Passengers who live in South El Monte will have to commute to LAX, which is much farther for them than Ontario Airport. Currently, residents in the San Gabriel Valley, particularly South El Monte and Monrovia, use Ontario Airport as their choice for travel. The San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership met on Feb. 1st

to execute a strategy of sup-port for the city of Ontario to gain control of the airport, but nothing has been decided. Ontario officials argue that an estimated 8,000 airport-re-lated jobs and $400 million in yearly business activity have been lost. For travelers, On-tario was a popular discount airport before the economic crash. Now, there are 47% fewer flights and about 60% fewer destinations.

If Ontario Airport be-comes busier as a result of Ontario gaining control over their airport, Los Angeles World Airport officials fear that that LAX may lose busi-ness. Four years ago, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said that the sav-ings from closing Palmdale Airport — an estimated $7 annually — would go towards Ontario International Airport , yet nothing has come of that plan. In addition, the idea of Ontario taking control of its own airport has the support of twenty agencies including the Southern California As-sociation of Governments, a powerful regional planning agency.

After three decades of stable growth and earning a Forbes rating as one of the nation's top "alternative air-

ports," Ontario International is now among the fastest de-clining midsize airports in the country. Recently, a business passenger was traveling out of Ontario International, and was shocked to see an empty terminal and turned to the skycap who said that the air-port was indeed open. All of the food outlets and shops were closed, and there were very few passengers in the middle of the day. The air-port is expected to lose an ad-ditional 200,000 passengers, setting it back to the 1987 lev-els when Ronald Reagan was president. To put it into per-spective, nationally, Cincin-nati is the only airport losing passengers at this rate.

Inland Empire officials argue that while Los Angeles has had 12.4% to 13% unem-ployment, LAX has still man-aged to grow. Their efforts to reclaim the ownership of On-tario Airport has been galva-nized by their disillusionment with Los Angeles World Air-ports that acquired Ontario Airport virtually free in 1985 (after operating it for nearly two decades). Ultimately, a compromise must be reached between the two entities in or-der for them to best meet the needs of their passengers.

The Monrovia Fire Department is pleased to announce the promotions of four members of its cur-rent personnel. The recent promotions were awarded to Ryan Phillips, Jeremy Sanchez, Dave Phillips and Harvey Hewitt, who com-bined have over 40 years of fire fighting experience.

Division Chief Ryan Phillips – With over 18 years of service, Ryan Phil-lips, a Monrovian resident, assumed the duties as the “A shift” commander on the morning of February 16. “Chief Phillips’ abil-ity to effectively manage emergency operations is exceptional,” said Fire Chief Chris Donovan, who went on to highlight Phillips’ long tradition of professionalism and dedi-cation to Monrovia. The Chief’s faith in Phillips was quickly confirmed; by 2 p.m. of his first shift as Di-vision Chief, Phillips’ crew had already responded to four emergency incidents, and established incident command at both a veg-etation and a structure fire. Under his new title, Chief Phillips will oversee the de-partment’s Administration

and Disaster Preparedness operations.

Fire Captain Jeremy Sanchez – Chief Phillips promotion created a va-cancy at the Fire Captain position. Monrovia Fire Department filled this by promoting Jeremy San-chez. Captain Sanchez has over eight years experi-ence in fire service. He has served as a Paramedic with the last three years as a Fire Engineer at Monrovia Fire. “Captain Sanchez has natural leadership abilities in addition to exceptional emergency operations and administrative skills,” said Fire Chief Chris Dono-van. “This is a critically important position within our department, and Jer-emy is certainly capable of performing his responsi-bilities.” Captain Sanchez has recently been placed in charge of the depart-ment’s apparatus. This includes being responsible for studying future needs for repair and replacement of the department’s fleet and maintaining the de-partment’s overall opera-tional readiness.

Fire Engineer Harvey Hewitt – Jeremy Sanchez’

promotion to Fire Captain created a vacancy in the Fire Engineer rank, which is being filled with the pro-motion of Harvey Hewitt. Fire Engineer Hewitt has four years of experience with Monrovia as a Fire-fighter/Paramedic in addi-tion to five years experi-ence with the Monterey Park Fire Department. In addition to his new duties as an engineer, Fire Engi-neer Hewitt will continue to evaluate requirements and training mandates for the department’s cadet program.

Fire Engineer Dave Phillips – Dave Phillips was promoted to Fire Engineer in September 2011 to fill the vacancy left by Fire En-gineer Rob Vita’s retire-ment. Prior to this position Dave had served as a Fire-fighter/Paramedic for five years. During his service with Monrovia Fire, he has been instrumental in the brush abatement program, as well as many other pro-grams involving training and development, includ-ing the successful Commu-nity Emergency Response Training (CERT) program.


Mitsuo Kunihiro, 93.Born on Luck Bald-

win’s daughter’s ranch (on the corner of Foothill and Double Drive – known today as Santa Anita) Sho-so Nomura has led a truly wonderful and colorful life. Particularly in

The Nomura family had a farm at that south-west corner and Shoso started working there in 1915.

Masaichi ( Charlie) Nomura, Shoso’s dad, was originally from Hiroshima and moved the States in 1901 for a better life. The elder Nomura started a grocery store in Kerst-ing Court ( now home of Lucky Baldwin’s Dele-rium).

Nomura’s grocery store lasted until 1923 where he continued to be

a “vegetable peddler” in Sierra Madre exclusively. At that time in history, Si-erra Madre was a city of only about 2,000 people. It was aliving for the Nomura family and then Pearl Har-bor was bombed. “ Those damn fools…” Nomuma’s mother exclaimed citing the overwhelming power of the US Military ma-chine.

It was then that ev-erything changed for Jap-anese-Americans. A presi-dential internment order unsettled the lives of all Japanese Americans living in the United States.

When President Frank-lin D. Roosevelt signed Ex-ecutive Order 9066 which created military exclusion zones on the Pacific coast, it effectively authorized the internment of 110,000

Japanese Americans living to camps inland for the du-ration of the war. Around 18,000 Japanese in Hawaii were interned, more than 60 percent of them Ameri-can citizens.

It wasn’t easy at first for Nomora’s mother who was told by some internees just after internment be-gan … “ you raised a dog. He’s a spy” – referring to her son’s choice of profes-sion…volunteering for the MIS. The Nomura’s sold their market as soon as the evacuation orders came out.

As part of the United States Army Observation Group, commonly known as the Dixie Mission, No-mura was one of the first U.S. Intelligence Officers effort to establish official relations with the Com-munist Party of China and the People's Liberation Army, then headquartered in the mountainous city of Yan'an. This mission was launched on 22 July 1944 during World War II, and lasted until 11 March 1947.

In January of 1944 Sho-so Nomura was shipped to China/Burma/India theatre and then assigned to Gen-eral HQ, CBI in New Del-hi, India. From there he served with SINTIC ( Sino Translation and Interroga-tion Center in Chungking, China. From there he went on with the Dixie Mission in Communist China.

First denied enlist-ment, Nisei men were re-cruited and tested in the internment camps as Japa-nese translators to serve in the Pacific Theater. The in-ternment order would not allow Nisei to be schooled at The Presidio in San Francisco, and so the Mili-tary Intelligence Service Language School (MISLS) was moved to Minnesota,

first at Camp Savage and then to Fort Snelling.

MIS linguists served in Chungking, China under Chiang Kai-Shek in July 1944. Five MIS Nisei par-ticipated in an American mission to Yenan, which operated as Mao Tse Tung’s headquarters. The servicemen nicknamed this mission the “Dixie Mission” because it was in “rebel” territory.

The MIS interrogated Japanese POWs to extract intelligence information on the Japanese units as well as wrote propaganda leaf-lets distributed among the prisoners and intercepted communications. The MIS worked diligently day and night to gather vital infor-mation.

MIS soldiers who served in China included:

Koji Ariyoshi, Shoso Nomura, Jack Ishii, Toshio Uesato, George I. Naka-mura

On November 2, 2011, the Congressional Gold Medal was present-ed collectively to the U.S. Army's 100th Infantry Bat-talion, the 442nd Regimen-tal Combat Team, and the Military Intelligence Ser-vice, also known as the Ni-sei Soldiers of World War II. The medal was in rec-ognition of their dedicated service during World War II.

They were, and are, nisei, second-generation Japanese-Americans who in World War II fought tenaciously for the very country that had interned them and their family members.

In addition to estab-lishing foreign relations, the goal was to investi-gate the Communist Party politically and militarily, and determine if the U.S. would benefit from es-

tablishing such a liaison. John S. Service, of the United States Department of State, at that time was responsible for political analysis, and Colonel Da-vid D. Barrett of the United States Army performed the military analysis for the US observer group (Dixie Mis-sion) Initially, they report-ed that the Chinese Com-munists might be useful wartime and post-war ally, and that the atmosphere in Yan'an was more energetic and less corrupt than in Nationalist areas. After the war, the Dixie Mission's reports, and Service and Barrett, were condemned by pro-Chinese Nationalist factions in the American government and fell victim to McCarthyism. Service was fired from his position at the State Department, and Barrett was denied a promotion .

The brief existence of the Dixie Mission served as a positive memory be-tween the People's Repub-lic of China and the United States during the adminis-tration of President Rich-ard M. Nixon when official relations between the two countries were re-estab-lished. Veterans of the Dixie Mission, like John Service and Koji Ariyoshi and Shoso Nomura were among the first Americans invited to visit the People's Republic of China.

The 100th/442nd was a blend of Hawaiian and mainland Japanese Ameri-cans that became the most decorated unit in United States military history for its size and length of ser-vice.

Combined, the 100th

and the 442nd received 7 Presidential Unit Cita-tions, 21 Medals of Honor, 29 Distinguished Service Crosses, 560 Silver Stars, 4,000 Bronze Stars, 22 Le-gion of Merit Medals, 15 Soldier’s Medal, and over 4,000 Purple Hearts.

MIS honors have been slow to come, in part for the secrecy of their service. As intelligence officers he said they were under or-ders to keep quiet about their service for decades after the war.

Past Congressional Gold Medal recipients in-clude George Washington, Mother Teresa and Win-ston Churchill. Less valor-ously, lawmakers also have bestowed the medal on the likes of singer Frank Sina-tra.

Those present at the November ceremony said the veterans of the 100th Infantry Battalion, the 442nd Regimental Com-bat Team and the Military Intelligence Service truly earned their honors the hard way.

"You fought World War II on two fronts," Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California told the veterans, quoting for-mer President Harry Tru-man. "You fought not only your enemy; you fought prejudice, and you won."

At 93 Shoso Nomu-ra’s sense of humor is still razor sharp to which his wife Florence can attest.

At the end of our in-terview Shoso Nomura quipped “ When you stop and think about it, I’m a pretty versatile guy.”

San Gabriel Police Association Voices Disapproval Over Financing of

New Police Facility

Although the San Ga-briel City Council decided to move forward with plans for a long-awaited new po-lice facility, the Police Of-ficers’ Association at Tues-day’s meeting voiced their disapproval over financing concerns they feel will bur-den its community.

At a study session be-fore the meeting, the council authorized the release of en-vironmental impact report documents for a construc-tion plan that would provide the city with a new police facility and new city public works yard, while tasking staff to examine funding al-ternatives.

According to City Man-ager Steven Preston, the city has been studying how to build the new police facility for the last 10 years. Current proposals for financing the project include increasing transient occupancy taxes, parking fines and business li-cense taxes. However, these funding measures would all go to the voters to decide, Preston said.

Representatives and fel-low supporters of the San Gabriel Police Officers’ Association filled the City Hall chambers to capacity to express their disapproval over the fiscal impacts of the project.

Police Chief David Lawton said that the labor group is opposed to spend-ing money to finance the project during these hard economic times. “I think they (the SGPOA) recog-nize the need for projects to benefit the community but are somewhat opposed to the city spending money at a time like this.”

Detective Fabian Valdez, president of the SGPOA, told the City Council Tuesday night that the timeliness was inappro-priate, the method of fund-ing inadequate, and that the decision would neglect oth-

er city interests. “If San Ga-briel moves forward with ap-proving these two projects, it will show how much the council is out of touch with the city’s business needs,” Valdez said. “The police as-sociation supports a new sta-tion when the city is able to financially support it. Please don’t gamble with risky tax increases -- it will potentially drive businesses away.”

According to Preston, the combined project of the new city police facility and new city public works yard will cost a total of $36.5 mil-lion. The city has been put-ting aside $875,000 a year since 2004 for the project. The money is not taken out of the general fund, rather it is earmarked to finance the future construction of the facilities. This leaves the city to finance the balance of the cost, which is $27.3 million.

So to cover the remain-ing amount for the project, estimated to be about $2.1 million a year, Finance Di-rector Tom Marston said revenue mechanisms, such as increasing transient oc-cupancy taxes, parking fines and business license taxes, were proposed to cover the funding gap. “With these proposed revenue increase mechanisms, we are trying to give strong respect to the community,” Marston said, “providing valuable new fa-cilities to residents, but not having them pay for it.”

Citing the staff’s pro-posed timeline, Preston estimates the public works facility will be completed by December 2013, while the police facility, to be built at the current public works site, will be completed by November 2015.

Lt. Darren Perrine, proj-ect manager for the new po-lice facility, said the current station was built in 1962 to support about 40 personnel. “We currently have about 95 working here,” he said.

“We’re desperately in need of improvements to our building, which according to today’s standards should be three times that size for our current needs.”

Perrine said the current facility was besieged by the recent windstorms that ren-dered the station’s dispatch and radio systems inoper-able. “The building was never designed to support the current technology, and it needs to be addressed,” he said, adding that the new 33,500 square-foot facility would be outfitted with a modern communication center, community room, and an outdoor firing range.

Although Valdez rec-ognizes the benefits of a new police facility for the force, he said he does not understand how the city is willing to take extraordinary measures to build two new buildings by raising taxes and fines.

With the San Gabriel Police Department currently in labor negotiations with the city, Valdez said there is a bigger community is-sue than compensation for police officers. “It is the lack of a business-friendly envi-ronment in San Gabriel,” he said in a phone interview. “We believe the public val-ues public safety as an im-portant issue, but we’re not asking for a raise at this time, just no further cuts. We get it, do they (the council)?”

Preston said he respect-fully disagrees with the po-lice association’s analysis of San Gabriel’s economic condition, noting that the city is debt free and capable of floating a bond without taxing the citizens. “Well, if their argument is that they don’t want to tax anybody, then the council will look at it closely,” Preston said. “And if we can find a satis-fying way to fund construc-tion, then we will.”

GLCA and Monrovia Sign Agreement for Remaining Land –

Lawsuits Settled

6th Annual Celebration of Nowruz Slated for March 15 in Pasadena

The Gold Line Con-struction Authority, City of Monrovia, and the Succes-sor Agency to the Monro-via Redevelopment Agen-cy signed an agreement Thursday that will result in the Authority acquiring the remaining land needed for the project’s maintenance and operations facility. The agreement includes settle-ment of all lawsuits and claims related to the land acquisition and follows the City Council and Successor Agency’s approval of the terms earlier this week, and the Construction Authority Board’s approval last night.

The agreement is actu-ally a “Stipulation for Entry of Judgment in Condem-nation” and will now be sent to the Superior Court judge overseeing the emi-nent domain case for final approval and judgment. Once approved, the Au-thority will have the owner-ship rights it needs for 100% of the land required for the maintenance facility – an important milestone for the project, per our funding agreement with Metro and our contractual agreement with the Kiewit Parsons Joint Venture (the Align-ment design-build contrac-

tor). The terms agreed to

today include four separate elements. The Authority agreed to pay $40.6 million to obtain the land held by the City and the Succes-sor Agency and to settle the eminent domain case and all current and future claims and objections by the City related to this land acquisition. The Successor Agency and City agreed to reimburse the Author-ity up to $200,000 for legal expenses related to the Ex-calibur Property Holdings, LLC case and $650,000 environmental remedia-tion costs associated with mitigating contamination on the land. The City and the Authority agreed to ar-rangements related to the planned parking facility for the future Monrovia Gold Line station. The Author-ity agreed to pay the actual amount (up to $15.75 mil-lion) needed to make pub-lic improvements around the 24-acre maintenance facility, as required under the City’s Transit Village Planned Development Area.

Methodist Hospital’s Mardi Gras Raises $79,000 for its Stroke Program

About 500 guests hon-ored neurologist Dr. Ken-neth Wogensen as Mardi Gras King 2012 last week at the 17th annual Mardi Gras at Sirona’s, Santa Anita Park.

Over $79,000 was raised in support of Meth-odist Hospital’s stroke program. Guests were treated to delicious food provided by 24 top area restaurants. The tradition-al Mardi Gras parade, led by Arcadia High School band members, included Dr. Wogensen dressed in royal garb and members of the Mardi Gras com-mittee.

Ernest and Gunde Posey were top “Mardi Gras” sponsors. Other top sponsors were HealthCare Partners Medical Group – Region 1 and Kindred

Healthcare/RehabCare. As Dr. Wogensen

“reigned” over the festivi-ties, committee co-chairs Lindburgh McPherson and Sherri Taylor greeted folks and ensured that guests had a fun time. They and their commit-tee of 28 volunteers spent many hours planning the event.

Julie Maldonado won the iPad2 drawing, and awards were given to res-taurants in the Best Pre-sentation Contest. Dave and Buster’s won first place, and The Derby and Opera took second place.

The support provid-ed from the Mardi Gras proceeds will help with the expansion of the hos-pital’s stroke program, which greatly impacts the lives of those afflicted by

a stroke as well as their loved ones. Stroke is the leading cause of death and primary cause of adult dis-ability within the United States.

It is imperative to immediately call 911 if someone appears to have stroke symptoms. When the brain can be pre-served, the subsequent quality of life for a person afflicted by a stroke can change vastly. Emergency response teams will take a patient to an approved stroke-receiving center like Methodist Hospital. The certified, interdisciplinary team will give immediate, interventional care, striv-ing to have stroke patients back home, resuming quality of daily life with their loved ones.

Californians sent me to rep-resent them. Second, I am a proud institutionalist, and I believe that this institution is as great as it has ever been.

“My decision has been a deliberative one. Three years ago I contemplated leaving at the end of the previous Congress, but I ultimately chose to seek reelection for the sake of pursuing four key objectives: (1) to reverse the very dangerous 82% increase in non-defense discretionary spending that we had in the previous two Congresses; (2) to finally pass the job-creat-ing free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea; (3) to enhance our national security by work-ing to strengthen the legisla-tures of new and reemerging democracies across the globe through the bipartisan House Democracy Partnership; and (4) to ensure, through the Rules Committee, that both Democrats and Republicans have the opportunity to offer their solutions by proposing amendments on the House

floor.“Mr. Speaker, I have

been honored to play a part in the effort to accomplish these four goals. Acting in a bipartisan way, we have fun-damentally altered the fed-eral spending process, focus-ing on fiscal discipline rather than profligacy. We not only passed all three pending free trade agreements. We did so with the largest bipartisan support of any trade mea-sure in years. The 17 part-ner countries of the House Democracy Partnership are making important strides, and the advent of the Arab Spring has brought about the greatest opportunity in more than a generation for democracy throughout the Arab world. Finally, both Democrats and Republicans can offer their ideas on the House floor.”

Dreier joins a handful of other Republicans from California who are retiring as a result of redistricting. Drei-er’s district went away as a result of redistricting.

While a handful of members, who are in simi-lar situations, are running in neighboring districts, Dreier had few other options.

In his floor speech, he said he made the decision, because Americans are ask-ing for change in Congress.

“We all know that this institution has an abysmally low approval rating,” Dreier said, “and the American people are asking for change in Congress. And so, I’m announcing today that I will leave the congress at the end of this year.”

Dreier was first elected to Congress in 1980. Now in his 16th term, he was con-sidered a top choice in 2005 to take the Majority Leader position, which was instead given to Roy Blunt reported-ly because of Dreier’s more moderate views. Dreier has been chairman of the House Rules Committee -- which regulates House floor pro-ceedings, debates and votes -- since 1999.

Monrovia Continues Search for aNew City Manager

On February 15, the time period expired for ap-plicants to file for the position of Monrovia’s City Manager. Danielle Tellez, Human Re-sources Division Manager outlined the process of select-ing the new City Manager.

The city has contracted with Bob Murray and Asso-ciates, a Northern California search firm which specializes in municipal government em-ployees according to Tellez. The firm will now assess the qualifications of the applicants to determine those best suite for the position. The com-pany has already met with the City Council and members

of the city staff to discuss their respective ideas of the type of person needed for the posi-tion.

Tellez said that on March 6, the firm will meet with the City Council, in closes ses-sion, and will present them with the names and resumes of the top eight to ten candi-dates. The City Council will interview these applicants on March 16. This first interview should narrow the applicant pool down to three or so for further interviews.

Two panels will inter-view these finalists during the morning on March 23, Tellez said. One panel will consist

of community members se-lected by the City Council. The other will be made of the Directors of each City Department. After interview-ing the applicants, the panel members will meet with the City Council to discuss their impressions of the candidates.

According to Tellez, the City Council will meet with the finalists for a second inter-view in the afternoon of the same day. This should lead to a selection of a preference for one or more candidates. Negotiations regarding sal-ary and compensation will be held and ultimately a new City Manager selected.

By SuSan MoTanderMonrovia Neighborhood Receives Fitting Recognition

Last summer, the area around the corner of Los Angeles and Sherman Av-enues in Monrovia was des-ignated as a Neighborhood of the Year 2011 by Neigh-borhood USA. This is a distinct honor as only four such neighborhoods were so recognized by NUSA. Ten signs designating that distinc-tion were finally erected this week and were unveiled at

a brief ceremony last Tues-day.

Monrovia Mayor Mary Ann Lutz (with the assis-tance of the Council’s Tall-est Member, Tom Adams) unveiled one of ten signs which acknowledge the neighborhood’s distinction. She praised the efforts of the community to turn itself around.

The designation as a

Neighborhood of the Year coming to Monrovia is especially exciting as the other such distinctions went to much larger cities, Long Beach, California and Fort Worth, Texas. “This is a little like the mouse who roared,” said Monrovia’s Dan McConnell.

McConnell, who over-sees the Monrovia Area Part-nership Program for the city

also spoke at the unveiling. He called out the names of the individuals who had worked to change the neigh-borhood praising the clean up programs and communi-ty events they had planned. He also noted that many of them had gone through the city’s leadership academy and that one such academy graduate, Larry Spicer, now sat on the City Council.

It is important to re-member what this neighbor-hood had been only a few years ago. Gangs terror-ized the residents. Drive-by shoots were not uncommon and a murder had been committed there.

“Last summer this com-munity held a neighborhood potluck and movie night at the corner of Los Angeles and Sherman,” McConnell said. “I stood out there at ten o’clock at night with the residents that evening and was struck by the fact that just a few years before they would have been afraid to be outside their homes at that time of night.

“The residents turned that neighborhood around,” he said.

Program Grants to Provide El Monte Homeowners with Repairs Funding

American Legion Post 44 Annual Breakfast Slated March 4

As a way to assist home-owners improve their prop-erty with necessary repairs and to attract more families to the City, the El Monte City Council approved the imple-mentation of the Calhome Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Act and First Time Homebuyer Program.

The City’s application for a $1-million grant was ap-proved by the State of Califor-nia Housing and Community Development Department.

Under the City’s Gen-eral Plan and 5-Year Con-solidated Plan, the City is dedicated to preserving and improving the existing hous-ing stock and increase the supply of affordable rental and home ownership oppor-tunities.

Under the Owner Occu-pied Housing Rehabilitation Program, assistance will be provided through deferred

payment loans to income-eli-gible El Monte homeowners to finance the cost of repairs that will ensure that their homes are well designed, healthy, safe, sanitary, and comply with the City’s Mu-nicipal Code.

“The Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Pro-gram is an important step for our communities,” El Monte Mayor Andre Quintero said. “Eligible homeowners will be able to receive the financial assistance they need to im-prove their properties, rather than having to go through the insensitive approach of code enforcement. The improve-ment of properties makes things better for the entire community, and each neigh-borhood.”

The goal of the First Time Homebuyer Program is to provide down payment assistance that will allow quali-

fied families to purchase a home located within the City limits. Assistance will be provided in the form of a deferred payment “silent” sec-ond loan. This funding pro-vides “gap’ financing toward the purchase price and clos-ing cost of affordable housing units that will be occupied by the homebuyers as their pri-mary residence.

The City Council is hop-ing to create opportunities for more families to move into El Monte.

“This is a very personal issue with me,” Quintero said. “We had affordable housing in the early 1980s when my family first moved to El Monte. My parents re-ceived a balloon payment to help them get a house. As a result, we were able to live the American Dream. We want that dream to come true for other families.”

More than a dozen col-leges and universities, in-cluding UCLA and Cal Poly Pomona, are slated to attend Pasadena City College’s University Day March 7.

Students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university can ex-plore transfer opportunities,

learn about academic pro-grams and majors, attend application workshops, and learn about financial aid.

“University Day is an opportunity for PCC stu-dents to explore their trans-fer options and meet uni-versity representatives who can serve as contacts in the

transfer process,” said Dina Chase, director of PCC Outreach, Degree, and Transfer Services. Informa-tional booths will be set up between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. in the PCC Quad.

For more information on University Day, call (626) 585-7287.

A proposed Discov-ery mission concept led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Ca-lif., to investigate the forma-tion and evolution of terres-trial planets by studying the deep interior of Mars now has a new name, InSight.

InSight stands for In-terior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Ge-odesy and Heat Transport and is a partnership involv-ing JPL, Lockheed Martin Space Systems, the French Space Agency (CNES), the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and other NASA

centers. The previous name for the proposal was GEMS (GEophysical Monitoring

Station). NASA re-quested that name be re-served for an astrophysics mission known as the Grav-ity and Extreme Magnetism Small Explorer, which was already in development.

“We chose the name InSight because we would literally peer into the inte-rior of Mars to map out its structure,” said JPL’s Bruce Banerdt, the principal inves-tigator. “With our geophysi-cal instruments we will be able to see right through

to the center of Mars, and will be able to map out how deeply the crust extends as well as the size of the core.”

InSight is one of three missions vying to be select-ed for flight in the Discovery Program, a series of NASA missions to understand the solar system by exploring planets, moons, and small bodies such as comets and asteroids. All three mission teams are required to sub-mit concept study reports to NASA on March 19.

Britta Lisa Margarita Anderson 1919-2012: Former Santa Fe School Teacher

Lives Remembered

Britta Lisa Margarita Anderson was born on January 27, 1919 to two Swedish immigrants Elin and Nestor Anderson. Brit-ta also had one sister, Ellen Marie Anderson.

After her education at Redlands University, Britta landed her first teaching job at the seaside town of Dana Point, California.

As Britta Albert she gave birth to a son Michael and daughter Kathy. To her children she passed on her love for the ocean, animals, and her Swedish heritage. Britta was fluent in Swedish as a second language. She also passed on important lessons. I can still hear her say, “If you’re going to do something, do it right!”

For many years she taught first grade at Santa Fe School in Monrovia, California; where she also played piano for the school music programs.

When she retired, she married a gem of a man and her true forever love,

Len Martin, a longtime resident of Livermore, Cali-fornia. Len worked many years for Livermore Labo-ratory - and even sold them a good bit of their land!

Britta and Len spent 42 years making their home together, traveling, and taking care of each other. Britta was an avid stamp collector. She also regularly chopped up cheese, nuts

etc. making a suet for the birds that flocked to their backyard.

A number of cats also found their way to the Mar-tin backyard - as if they passed the word on that this was the best place to be to get ‘adopted’ by a couple who would love and take care of them.

Britta is survived by her husband Len Martin, her son Michael Albert (and wife Jeanette), daughter Kathy Reid (and husband Dave), and her grandchild Dawn Noel Reid. Britta’s love of music, piano play-ing and language skills seem to have been passed down to her granddaughter who majored in Linguistics and now teaches over 50 children piano and love of music. (She also passed on her baby grand piano to Dawn, along with countless pieces of sheet music!)

Another thing about “Mom” - no one could give a better HUG. We miss her.

Earl William LaLoneSierra Madre Native Passes at 86

Earl William LaLone, 86, of Sierra Madre, Cali-fornia, passed away at County Villa Health Ser-vices in Duarte, California, at 7:30 pm on Sunday, Feb-ruary 12, 2012, after a year long battle with cancer.

Earl was born to Fred LaLone and Marguerite Vega LaLone on May 5, 1925 in Sierra Madre; he was the youngest of 11 chil-dren. Earl is survived by his wife Margaret, daugh-ter Marsha, son Christo-pher, grandson Philip, granddaughter Melissa, grandson Travis (and his family) and granddaugh-ter Heather (and her fam-ily). He is also survived by his sisters Alice McCarron and Francis Finley.

He graduated from Monrovia High School in 1943 and immediately joined the United States Army Air Corps and served to the end of World War II as an airplane me-chanic. After the war, Earl joined the California Na-tional Guard and again served his country, after being called up during the Korean War.

Earl married Marga-ret Stevens LaLone on November 10, 1950…they were married for over 61 years. While raising their children, their home on Ramona in Sierra Madre served as an im-portant gathering place for

the greater LaLone fam-ily, helping to keep a very large family together for decades.

Earl was a manager at Florence Ceramics, where

he worked for 25 years. He worked for many more years at an electronics company and then at an oil Company. He was a founding member of the Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team where he participated in hundreds of rescues over 22 years.

Earl also dedicated over 15 years to help with the youth baseball pro-gram in town, serving as Little League President and manager of several Minor, Major, and Pony/colt League teams. He was active in renovating Heas-ley Field and the construc-tion of Dapper Field.

He was recognized for his “Outstanding service” to the city in 1973 when he was named Sierra Madre “Citizen of the Year”.

Earl was an avid hunter and fisherman who hunted and fished in near-ly every state in the west. If he had a favorite place to hunt and fish, it was in Modoc County in North-ern California. He also loved to travel with Mar-garet in their Ford Pickup and Lance camper. Of the 48 states in the continental U.S., they traveled through 46 of them, including a 2 month stay in Alaska.

Earl loved his family and he placed a great deal of importance in his friend-ships. If there were two positive traits that stood out over all others, it was Earl’s ability to connect with people and his desire to give.

Earl’s life made a sig-nificant impact on the lives of the entire LaLone fam-ily and he will be dearly missed.

On Saturday, March 24, from 1:00 to 5:00p.m. , a gathering of friends will be held at the home of Lin-da Canzoneri, 121 S. Lima, Sierra Madre.

In lieu of flowers, Do-nations may be made to the Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team in hon-or of Earl LaLone.

The Community Col-lege Futures Assembly (CCFA) recently presented Pasadena City College with the prestigious Bellwether Award. Established in 1995, the Bellwether Awards are given annually in three cat-egories to community col-leges with outstanding and innovative programs or practices.

PCC won in the In-structional Programs and Services category for its “Math Jam: Setting First-Year Students on the Right Pathway” program. The two-week, no-cost summer program provides a cre-ative, engaging, no-stress

environment in which first-year community college students can experience math success before begin-ning college. The transition-to-college program offers innovative mathinstruction, structured supplemental support, and orientation-to-college activities.

“We’re just honored and excited to get this award,” said Brock Klein, the program’s director. “I think it really represents the hard work of lots of dif-ferent groups on campus. The administration has been very supportive, math faculty has been actively involved, and the awesome

student tutors are the key to making this program a suc-cess.”

The CCFA, now in its 18th year, convenes annu-ally as an independent na-tional policy forum for key opinion leaders to work as a “think tank” in identifying critical issues facing the fu-ture of community colleges, and to recognize Bellweth-er Finalist colleges as trend-setting institutions.
