CRAWFORD CAMP FALLS IN FAVOR OF NEW “CIVILITY”

Arcadia High School senior Michael Kallin vot-ed for the first time in his life Tuesday evening at the polling place located within the Arcadia Retire-ment Gardens. The AHS Constitution Team mem-ber, whose 18th birthday was just this March said he was eager to vote for the first time and said he casted his votes wisely and with care.

Arcadia Voters Send Segal, Harbicht and Amundson to Back to CouncilRecord Campaign Budgets No Match for Long-Standing Reputations and

Experience

But Mr. Kall in was not alone in voting. The turnout, though not nec-essar i ly remarkable in terms of the number of voters who either turned out or returned their vote-

by-mail ballots, proved triumphant in the end for Micky Segal and incum-bents Bob Harbicht and Peter Amundson.

This city council elec-

who, according to many residents, ran a somewhat vicious smear campaign particularly against coun-cilmember Joe Mosca.

At a victory party at firefighter and longtime Mosca supporter Bob and Rosemary Burnett’s home Tuesday evening, over-joyed voters watched as

the votes kept coming in for the underdogs. Once it was obvious that they had won the election, it was time for Mr. Mosca to make a brief statement. The task of introducing Mr. Mosca fell to fellow Councilman John Buchanan who introduced

The Doozies By Tom Gammill

Well the Arcadia coun-cil election is finally over. I don’t know about you, but I’m glad. This was one of our most costly and most nasty. I don’t know wheth-er or not the results were what you hoped for, but I think it is time for us to lighten up and maybe learn a lesson. I offer the follow-ing toward that end.

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anywy; it just wasn’t

worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and be-gan to shovel dirt into the well.

At first, the donkey re-alized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farm-er finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw.

With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing some-thing amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer’s

neighbors cont inued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take another step up. Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well, and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up. Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember these rules to be happy:

Free your heart from

hatred - Forgive.Free your mind from

worries - Most never hap-pen.

Live simply and appre-ciate what you have.

Give more. Expect less.

Now, enough of that crap...The donkey later came back and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and the fa rmer eventua l ly died in agony from septic shock.

MORAL FROM TO-DAY’S LESSON: When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.

Election Over: Lesson To Be Learned?

Oh, what an exciting time for College students and school kids alike. A time to get away for a little R & R and ... So it is at Our House!

However, Spring Break and Spring Cleaning are synonymous w i t h my “Clean Queen”. This is her “UP-TIME” of the year that she looks forward to with a giant passion. It is her time to ... Clean-up, tear-up, fix-up, spruce-up, paint-up, break-up, and the worst of all of her “Up-Times is her “Scent-up” time!

marital t ranquility and that her Perfume-Arama was Senseless! Well, short-ly thereafter, she regained her senses ... and happily we now have a Spring Brake on Scents ... “ A Good Sense -Scent less, Spendless Home”!

Letters

cupboards are rearranged and closets reorganized.

The next Phase of her Spring Break Cleaning is “Out Time”. This is when I really get concerned as she generally begins in my closet ... throwing out all my old rippy but comfort-able clothes, running shoes, run over slippers and in the course she threw out my old worn jackets and college-logo tee shirts ... and with-out concern, my comfee TV and Snooze chair.

Now, for me ... this time of the year...it is my “Throw-up” , “Break-up” and best of all my “Get Out” time, just in the “Nick” of time for a bit of seren-ity and relaxing golf for my needed Spring Break Away!

But as they say “It’s Not Over Till It’s Over, as then comes her “Scents-Time”. Yes she is a work in progress for promoting all of those “Smelly” scent products sold by the two leading home perfumers”, Glade and Airwick. When I arrived back home after my marvelous Spring Break Away, those air freshener products were displayed, installed, or placed in every room of the house.

Yes, there were smell detectors, and motion scent directors throughout the house. Mist room freshen-ers, scent flameless candles, scent dishes, and plug in odor eliminators. She had stick-ups and paste-ups ev-erywhere! I asked her if she had a skunk visitation while

I was gone. I was trying to figure why she was making such a stink about the air in-side of our previously Cozy Abode? Her Goofy expla-nation was just as confus-ing! She claimed that these products were designed to provide Aroma-therapy. That they would create mood improvement and calming tranquility with their Tropical Bliss, Island Escape, Fruity Mango and Seashore fragrances.

I asked her if one of those air-freshener compa-nies have a Aroma-therapy fragrance for an “Irritat-ing Wife Syndrome”. I explained to her that her “Puffs of Fragrance” were g iving me a headache, lung congestion and that they are interrupting my

If you believe the PUSD must right-size infrastruc-ture and staff and clean up corruption on the Board of Education and the inside deals over poverty funds be-fore taxing local homeowners a second time within an 18-month period, YOU MUST VOTE “NO” BY MAY 4th in the special “all-mail ballot” election!

Throwing away your ballot after you receive it in the mail is as good as a “yes” vote for PUSD’s Measure CC parcel tax. The odd couple who brought you PUSD’s $350m Measure TT just 18 months ago,

Pasadena Educational Foundation’s George Brum-der and ACORN’s Peter Dreier, once again are at work campaigning for PUSD’s proposed Measure CC parcel tax.

In defending the district’s appeal for more tax rev-enue on such quick turn-around, Messrs. Brumder and Dreier claim the PUSD is a “model district . . . committed to full transparency and accountability.”

Really? Consider this:The same evening (1/26/10) the PUSD Board ap-

Voted one of the best salons in the San Gabriel Valley for more than 10 years

car-winner Dustin Hoff-man as a man in his late 60s just released f rom four years in prison who’s autodidactic, intelligent, and deeply involved in the racing world’s un-derbelly.

T he m a t c h i n g o f HBO and Santa Anita should come as no sur-pr ise to those famil iar w it h Ca l i forn ia’s old -est track; in fact, Santa Anit a , wh ich recent ly celebrated its 75th birth-day, is no stranger to Hol-lywood. Most famously, the Marx Brothers chose Santa Anita to shoot the racetrack sequences for their classic “A Day at the Races.” Over the years, many other stars, includ-ing Bing Crosby, Spencer Tracy, Errol Flynn, Alex Trebek, and MGM mo-gul Louis B. Mayer have owned horses that have raced at the track. More recent ly, the Academy Award-nominated “Sea-biscuit” f i lmed here to glorious results.

What made “Luck” and Santa Anita even more of a s l am dunk was show creator David M i lch’s i nvolvement . Milch, also creator of the much mourned, dearly departed “Deadwood,” is no stranger to the track, both as a Breeders’ Cup-w inn i ng hor se ow ner and a good customer at the wagering windows. “Luck” is the culmina-tion of years of work for Milch, who’s said that a show centering on San-ta Anita is a topic he’s wanted to tackle since he became a writer.

This came as music to the ears of Pete Siber-

Dustin Hoffman Heads Cast of HBO Pilot Underway At Santa AnitaContinued from the

First Pageell, Santa Anita’s Direc-tor of Community and Special Events. He calls the script “…a bril l iant piece of writing that real-ly delves into the intrica-cies of the business from wagering to horse train-ing.” The product ion, currently on day 11 of a 24 -day shoot, has gone smoot h ly despi t e Mr. Siberell’s initial trepida-tion of staging a produc-t ion of this magnitude during live racing. So far, so good: there have been no complaints from the track’s faithful deni-zens. If anything, they’ve

Milch in action, but also Nick Nolte, the Oscar -nominated actor famous for his film roles in “Trop-ic Thunder,” “Cape Fear” and “48 Hours.” Adding even more prestige is Mi-chael Mann, the deco-rated director of “Ali,” “The Insider” and “Heat, “ who will executive pro-duce the project and di-rect the pilot. Mann has said that Milch’s script is one of the two best ever handed to him (the other was Eric Roth’s script for “The Good Shepherd).

HBO is very high on the pi lot and a pickup

and “Sex and the City,” has begun to rebound thanks to the breakout hit “True Blood.” A string of hotly-anticipated new shows seem ready to lift the network to the critical and commercial heights enjoyed during the hey-day of Tony Soprano and Car r ie Bradshaw. This week, “The Wire” mastermind Dav id Si -mon’s post-Katrina dra-ma “Treme” was picked up for a 2nd season after its pilot episode scored in the ratings and with critics. It’s becoming an embarrassment of riches

“Luck” is the culmination of years of work for Milch, who said that a show centering on

Santa Anita is a topic he’s wanted to tackle since

becoming a writer. enjoyed the chance to rub elbows with Holly-wood royalty. “We had to displace and/or incon-ven ience some people when we did some box seat scenes the first week of shooting, “ says Mr. Si-berell, “but most people understand the work that we have to do and it gives them something else to watch in between races!

Those turning out to the track not only get to see Mr. Hoffman and Mr.

to series appears to be a mere formality, espe-c ia l ly consider ing t he enor mous t a len t , no t to ment ion money, in -volved. Santa Anita will l ikely cont inue to be a primary location and the track has already agreed to let HBO shoot here for at least the first few sea-sons. The network, after suffering through some lean years following the exodus of cultural touch-stones “The Sopranos”

for the network as a new Martin Scorsese drama is on the horizon as well as project s f rom Todd Haynes, David Fincher and Jonathan Demme.

Even if “Luck” proves unfortunate and fails to get the greenlight to se-ries, expect Santa Anita to keep ticking along. Its 75th anniversary season comes to a close on Sun-day, with the San Juan Capistrano being run for the 71st time. The recent

season has seen at ten-dance drop ten percent, which is consistent with t racks nat ionwide. Mr. Siberell, for one, doesn’t wor r y about t he drop foreseeing a potent ia l resurgence in horserac-ing with “Luck” on their side, “I think “Luck” can create some new racing fans coming to Sant a A n i t a , much l i ke t he show “Jockeys” on Ani-mal Planet did. If noth-

ing else, it will educate the non-racing fans about our fascinating business and sport… We hope the overall story and themes ref lect David’s profound respect and love of the sport of Thoroughbred horse racing so that we all will be proud of our association with the pilot and series.”

ROSEMEAD’S MOST GRACIOUS FULL-SERVICE ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY

tion had been touted as one of the most impor-tant elect ions in recent memory and the amount of relatively outrageous amount of money spent on campaigns was testa-ment to that fact. But ap-parently, at least in the Arcadia political arena, money isn’t everything. To wit , the campaign’s biggest spender, attorney Paul Cheng, garnered only enough votes to place 5th out of the six candidates, besting only Jason lee in the final tally. To the three victors, candidate Sho Tay lost by several thousand votes as did Paul Cheng and Jason Lee, respective-ly. The thirty-two year old Cheng is estimated to have exhausted nearly $100,000 on this, his first attempt at elected office.

It was a big loss for the Asian-American candi-dates and their supporters. The “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” campaign rhetoric from Bob Harbicht appar-ent ly struck home with many voters in the con-servative, and generally “well-run” Arcadia, as was said by Arcadia’s Citizen of the Year Vince Foley as he watched the election results roll in Tuesday eve-ning before heading off to Matt Denny’s for the Segal victory party.

Hundreds of people in all walks of life partici-pated in this election in-cluding the Arcadia High School Constitution team which led a debate hosted by the Santa Anita Inn and sponsored by Arcadia Weekly and KGEM-TV, a non-profit community production studio located in Monrovia, in an effort to better educate the pub-lic on the issues facing Arcadia and create more interest among the poten-tial electorate.

The ef f icient work-ings of the city were also a campaign highlight for Sega l and Amundson. All candidates touted a fiscally responsible city under their watch. Voters l istened and effect ively chose to continue Arcadia on the straight and narrow

course it has been follow-ing for quite some time.

Some of the more vo-cal opponents to the sta-tus-quo included local real estate developer Henry Nunez, went on a hunger strike to point out his dis-approval of Harbicht and Segal’s candidacy and platforms.

Ha rbicht t o ld t he Los Angeles Times that Nunez’ actions were like a “gnat” f lying in his ear. Referr ing to Nunez as “annoying” and sticking to his idiom of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, Har-bicht maintained a consis-tent tone throughout the course of the campaign, through nearly countless debates, forums and other public appearances.

A visibly del ighted Mr. Harbicht was in the council chambers as the final numbers were posted on the big board, and congratulations rolled in from nearly all those in attendance.

Arcadia Weekly called Henry Nunez Wednesday afternoon. He said he was feeling great after his hun-ger strike and that “the election has not changed where I live or the love I have for the city and the things I believe Arcadia still needs. “

Nunez went on to say that he looks forward to work ing w ith the new council in the future and was happy he had to oppor-tunity to support the cam-paigns of the candidates he preferred. Although obviously somewhat tired, Nunez reiterated that he’s proud of Arcadia and all of the citizens who stood up and made their voice heard in the election. “I always want to work for the best interests of Ar-cadia and its residents,” he said.

On Wednesday after-noon, Paul Cheng shared some of his post-election thoughts.

“In terms of the out-come, we’re obviously disappointed, but we do have to rally around the new council and support them. I did feel, however, that we of fered a new perspect ive during this campaign and election. I

look at city council like a basketball team. Each member is v ita l to the other for success.”

Asked what he’d do now, Cheng said that he plans on staying very in-volved in the community and cont inuing his law practice, which is located in Pasadena.

As is typical with these elections, there are still some provisional ballots that remain to be counted, so what follows should still be considered an unoffi-cial final tally:

Bob Harbicht: 4563 Paul P. Cheng: 2232Mickey Segal: 4557Peter Amundson: 3851Jason J. Lee: 1536Sho Tay: 2529

him with what many in at-tendance would call long-overdue credit , saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the next Mayor of Sierra Madre.” Cheers could surely be heard all the way up Mt. Wilson as Mosca thanked his cam-paign staff and supporters for “keeping up the good fight” and “not letting nega-tive campaign tactics deter them” from the honor they won Tuesday evening.

“It’s a terrific victory for Sierra Madre, we’re ecstatic,” said former plan-ning Commissioner and local business woman Sue Levoe. That sent iment was echoed tenfold by the scores of well-wishers and campaign staff at Josh Mo-ran’s family home as well. It was hugs all around as people from all walks of life popped in to thank the victors for changing the di-rection of the city council.

Buchannan Introduces Mosca as City’s Next Mayor

Long-time resident Karma Bell said she agreed with Sue’s comments and added that she’s “thrilled” with what apparently turned out to be a positive effect of the other side’s relent-less attacks on Joe Mosca and the Sierra Madre Fire Department.

At the root of the prob-lem, as is often the case in politics local, national or international, is power.

The previous Sierra Madre council was notori-ously divided and left little wiggle room for policy-making of a non-political nature. The divisive and conf lict-ridden approach some say the preceding council injected was det-rimental to any communi-cation and made progress slow.

Councilman Buchan-nan perhaps said it best when he of fered t ha t “there’s no Republican or Democratic way to pave the streets.”

Sierra Madre Weekly

contacted Nancy Walsh Wednesday just prior to deadline and she expressed her delight at being elected. “I’m very excited,” she said in a telephone interview. “I’m also surprised and ac-tually astonished at the re-sults. It was a landslide!”

She went on to say that she was looking forward to a “new creative period for the City of Sierra Ma-dre” and that she has “a great deal of hope for new ways of looking at the city business.” Walsh added that the current sit t ing Mayor, MacGillivray “may never know how much she helped her opponents cam-paigns.”

The s i t t i ng Mayor MacGil l ivray has been accused of being fanatical and disrespectful of those whom she opposes. Case in point was the most recent City Council meeting when she effectively politicized the chambers by allow-

“NO” ON PUSD PARCEL TAX

the district deficient in anti-fraud controls and oversight processes and recommend-ing ethics and fraud training programs throughout the district.

Recent district meetings have re-vealed 70% in contingency reserves built into the $350m TT bond, with a percent-age of bond sales “reserved for wealthy local investors;” the Board now is in the process of determining policy for “reallo-cating” the excess revenue intentionally designed into Measure TT before it went to voters in November 2008.

While the Board continues to build new middle schools, as many as sixteen (16) district sites have been identified for consideration as potential “surplus” sta-tus following the 7-11 Committee’s 2006 report showing classroom space for 27,077 students; yet PUSD’s average daily atten-dance (ADA) is presently calculated at 18,728 students.

The district received $22m in federal stimulus money this past year, used just to maintain the status quo, an error in judgment recently conceded by PUSD’s top administrative staff but still defended by a majority of Board members.

Three weeks ago Board member Honowitz capitalized on a poorly attended subcommittee meeting (3/10/10) to sneak-in a Pacoima/Sylmar-styled “community schools” poverty program at Washington School, a program through which Mr. Honowitz’ wife is employed; with Mrs. Honowitz’ name in printed material,

Board President Selinske nonetheless directed Mr. Honowitz “to take the lead” in implementing his own wife’s, no-bid poverty program in the PUSD.

Since favors go in many directions on the Board of Education, expect more hi-jinx involving programmatic experi-ments, increased costs and low academic performance among the district’s most vulnerable students.

And if all of the above weren’t bad enough, consider the conduct of PEF’s Mr. Brumder and ACORN’s Mr. Dreier in betraying senior homeowners with their promotion of Measure CC’s non-existent “senior exemption.”

The text of Measure CC states clearly that the so-called “senior exemption” is available only to seniors with W-2’s qualifying under “very low income” calculations used for Section 8 housing “rental” assistance (p.A-3), by definition precluding qualification by taxpaying se-nior homeowners.

In phone conversation with Mr. Brum-der a few weeks ago I attempted to draw his attention to some of the above before he went to the public with misinformation. He asked: “What’s that got to do with the parcel tax?”

EVERYTHING, MR. BRUMDER!

G o o o o o o a a a l ! I t wasn’t soccer but the out-come was as exciting when only five weeks into the annual support campaign for the Santa Anita Family YMCA’s Financial Assis-tance Program, co-chairs Todd Adamson and Tzeitel Paras-Caracci announced to campaign volunteers that they had reached their goal and then some.

The 90-member, a l l -volunteer led ef for t raised $128,797, more than $3,000 over the original goal to help provide pro-grams and services for youths, teens, families and seniors regardless of their ability to pay full fee.

“Exciting? Absolutely,” said Paras-Caracci. “It was a great team effort and the community was so gener-ous in its support. When it comes right down to it people dig down deep into their pockets when they believe in something,” she said.

Before the power point tote board f lashed its final tally for the team celebration party at the

SAFYMCA’s Mary Wilcox Center, Thursday night, March 4, team members passed the hat among themselves one more time and raised another $125 for the cause.

“We are blessed by a supportive commu-nity,” said Chief Executive Officer, Damon Colaluca. “Everybody worked very hard. Some said it wasn’t possible in this economic environment. But I think this fund raising success demonstrates that people recognize that the YMCA is an important part of our community. Their support helps makes it possible for us to make the YMCA ex-perience available to those who otherwise might not have the opportunity.”

Cola luca sa id that while the formal campaign is over, “there is still some mopping up to do,” some contacts that have not yet been made, some pledges still to collect.

“We’re not stopping here. We’ll continue to ac-cept donations so that we can offer as much finan-

cial assistance to the com-munity as is needed,” said Colaluca.

Last year the Finan-cial Assistance Program enabled 2,698 kids to par-ticipate in Day Camp and After School programs. A total of 1,822 youth par-ticipated in YMCA youth sports and mentoring pro-grams. Some 1,110 families were awarded scholarships to support their participa-tion in YMCA values-based programs and health and fitness memberships. And 1,697 seniors improved their health through fitness classes.

Children Invited to Interactive “Sleeping Beauty” at Sierra Madre Playhouse

“Sleeping Beauty” will come alive for youngsters who attend the Sierra Ma-dre Playhouse on Satur-days at 2 o’clock on April 17, May 1 and May 8. But they can do more than watch—they (and their par-ents) can be interactive with the performers, who come down the aisles to mix with the audience.

The kids pretend they are flowers in the meadow and the Evil Fairy picks roses off their heads for the Princess’s wedding bouquet. Some are even chosen to play the Queen’s Doctor and Nurse, or the Ring Bearer and Flower Girl at the royal wedding. Some decorate the wed-ding arbor. And everyone can cheer the heroes and hiss the bad guys in this happy musical production of the classic kids’ story. After the show, they can greet the actors in front of the playhouse.

All-Singing, All-Dancing Show to Benefit Eight Performance Groups

David Miller, co-chair of “Harry Who?” rehearses the 17-piece orchestra. Miller is a long-time Instrumental Music Director at Pasadena High.

CHICAGO • PANTAGES • 5.040” X 6.250”BEACON MEDIA • PUB DATE: 4.15.10

“What an era!” pro-claimed Lani Ridley Pedrini, the enthusiastic co-chair of the all-singing all-dancing musical “Harry Who?” to be presented at Ambassador Auditorium in two shows, a matinee and an evening per-formance, on April 24. Ms. Pedrini is referring to not just songs of the 1930s and the 1940’s, but specifically to mu-sic written by Harry Warren who worked with a number of lyricists to turn out hit after hit for 90 different movies from 1928 through 1981, 42 of the songs in the top-ten of the popular radio program, “Your Hit Parade”.

Pedrini’s group, The-aters of Vision Productions and the Ambassador Foun-dation have linked together to bring Warren’s toe-tap-ping music to the stage with a cast of 161 singers and dancers and a 17-piece or-chestra under the direction of co-chair, David Miller.

“This will be a com-munity outreach production benefiting high school and college music departments in the San Gabriel Valley area and the Ambassador Foundation,” Pedrini, who has an extensive music and Continued on Page 12

theater background, said. In fact, the cast members and performers are from the eight groups who will receive por-tions of the net proceeds from ticket sales. Groups partici-pating in the production are The Theaters of Vision All-Star Community Orchestra (David Miller, Director), The Tap Chicks, (Pamela Kay), Towne Singers, (Beth Richey,

conductor; Lance Merrill, accompanist), Brighter Side Singers, (Matthew Byers, Director; Jon Howie, pianist), Centre Stage Productions, Inc, (Tiffini Lopez, Artistic and Music Director), Theater of Vision Dancers, Rose City Ballroom, (Christian Perry, Choreographer), and Samba-La Samba Dance Academy, (Bill Brunold, Director). Oth-

ers include Sisters of Swing and several soloists.

Rehearsals began March 3 with the orchestra under the direction of David Miller working over tunes that any-one over sixty knows well, but are probably new to the high-school and college students in the orchestra. Miller, who is Instrumental Music Director at Pasadena High School,

has led the Pasadena Unified School District’s All-District Band since 1986. At rehearsal he dug into the music: he conducted, he lead, talked, instructed and even played with the band. Overseeing it all was Lani Pedrini, a mem-ber of the highly respected Pedrini family that operated music stores in the area for many years.

Each of the groups are separately rehearsing, but will come together coached and directed by the pro-duction team that includes Miller, Pamela Kay, overall choreographer, and Charles Offenhauser, Technical Di-rector.

Harry Warren’s early ca-reer was spent writing popu-lar songs and some for a few Broadway shows and revues. His “I found a Million Dol-lar Baby” was written for a Billy Rose revue with lyrics, in part by Rose himself. But, a call from Hollywood in 1932 began his stint as a studio composer that lasted until he died in 1981.

In his thorough biogra-phy about Warren, David Jen-kins’ website harrywarren-music.com, says “1932 was a major turning point in Harry Warren’s music career. This was the year he was called on

to write a score with Al Dubin for a Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler picture entitled ‘Forty Second Street’…set around their snappy tunes.” From that auspicious beginning

Harry Warren (above) wrote hit songs for Busby Berkeley musicals, Betty Grable and Alice Faye movies and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The little known composer’s songs will be reprised in a show, “Harry Who?” to be presented by 8 performing groups on April 24 at Ambassador Auditorium in two shows, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. The entertainers, all high-school and college-age, will receive portions of the benefit show.

Watch Dining with Dills every Sunday Night at 9 PM on KJLA TV, re-views are also available on Facebook.

By peTer DillSIf you have watched

my show Dining with Dills on KJLA TV you know I love good food and values. Many times I have men-tioned that King Crab Legs are one of my favorite dish-es. A close second has to be Main Lobster. And if you have followed my reviews I have said time again, that lobster is lobster, as long as it is fresh. So why overpay? The Fu Shing Restaurant in East Pasadena, like many Chinese restaurants offers a nice selection of seafood items. One being a live Maine Lobster. The Fu Shing serves it three dif-ferent ways: Steamed (my choice) garlic and sesame. Chef Felix cooks the later two in a wok and is served

cut-up or whole. If you are a lobster lover like I am, the price is right. Usually about $1 or $2 above mar-ket price depending on the season. Owner Cindy Chang doesn’t mind if you order two. There are no restrictions. At this week’s writing the price is $14.99 a pound. I have had the lobster at the Palm Restau-rant in West Hollywood and these are every bit as good. Another good bet is the Ex-plorer Dinner, it is a multi

course dinner for four that show cases some of Fu Shin-gs best dishes, at this writ-ing it was $23 per person. What you get. For starters, a cold appetizer salad, a hot appetizer wonton with real crab meat in a tangy chili paste. Next is the South Seas Seafood Fire Pot with five different seafood items. The main course(s) include: Jumbo Scallops, Fire Crack-er lamb, Mayo Shrimp with longan, Macadamia Nut Chicken, fresh catfish and a

Buddhist Feast in a Noodle basket with fresh vegeta-bles. For dessert an assort-ment of fresh vegetables. Bonus: Of course Fu Shing offers many Chinese entrees, if you like sizzling rice soup, order it here it is very good. The restaurant features a patio and an upstairs for private parties. Price per entree $13.95 to $20. Ca-sual dress. Reservations are suggested, especially for the Explorer Dinner feast. Plenty of free park-

T. Phillip’s Poised to OpenBy SuSan MoTanDer

The long awa i t ed opening of T. Phil l ip’s Alehouse is just around the corner. With private openings by invitation only this evening, April 15 and tomorrow, the alehouse at the corner of Myrtle and Colorado is staging a soft opening. The full opening will follow in a few days.

Originally the social security off ice in town, Tony Spencer, who owns the Alehouse with his wife Naomi, jokes that “it will become my social security. At one point the building was seriously under consid-eration by Vroman’s for ex-pansion of their chain, but those plans fell through. So from books, it has moved to brews, and what a selec-tion of brews there will be. There are a total of 72 beers, ales, lagers and porters on tap. Of these 11 taps will be dedicated to Belgian brews including that champagne of ales, Chimay Blue. Made by trappist monks in Scour-mont Abbey in the Belgian municipality of Chimay,

it is a copper-brown beer which has a creamy head and a slightly bitter taste. It is a classic and one rarely seen on tap; for this alone the Alehouse is worth a visit.

There are the usual, expected brews including Bud and Corona along with Red Tail Ale and lo-cal favorites from Crafts-man Brewery. But it is the little known beers which are most intriguing. Has anyone every heard of Haywire, or Magic Hat,

or (my favorite name) Old Foghorn which is described as a Barley Wine Style Ale? With 72 choices, there is bound to be something for everyone.

But the Alehouse will have a great deal more according to its owners. There will be a complete menu of steaks, seafood, salads and chops. The bar will seat 20 and there is a private room which can be reserved and seats 20 to 30 people. The Spencers hope this might be used

for corporate gatherings. There are a lso 5 large booths and lots of smaller tables which are designed to be able to be put togeth-er for larger groups. The restaurant will be able to sit somewhere between one and two hundred people (depending on occupancy determinations by the fire department).

In describing their con-cept the Spencers say they were striving for the feeling

ing – or in the opinion of many, encouraging – a line of naysayers to lash out at councilman Mosca from the public comment po-dium. When Mosca moved to defend himself and his record, the matriarchal mayor admonished and publicly humiliated him by threatening to have the police remove him from the council chambers. (A video clip of the exchange can be seen on our web-site.)

According to Michael Bamberger, a priest and long-t ime Sierra Madre Firefighter the events of that evening as well as those witnessed during the 1991 Earthquake in Sierra Madre caused him and many others to have “lost all respect for MacGil-livray”. According to Bam-berger, MacGillivary and other council members at the time were on some sort of out of town retreat when the earthquake hit town. Upon learning of her home-town’s serious quake which caused extensive damage, the then city councilmem-ber MacGillivray returned to check on the status of only her own home before promptly returning to the retreat without attending to the emergency. She and the council did not de-clare a state of emergency to qualify for emergency government money and the fire department’s hands were tied with the limited resources on hand. “It took weeks for us to even have a Declaration of Emergen-cy,” said Bamberger.

And then, there was

Buchannan Introduces Mosca as City’s Next Mayor


the blog. And apparent-ly that blog, like a once-busy campaign office fol-lowing a loss, has been promptly closed for busi-ness. So much for the self-proclaimed “finest news source in Sierra Madre.”

During the course of the campaign, the highly contentious and often in-cendiary Sierra Madre Tattler posted or allowed the posting of accusations, half- or un-truths and in-f lammatory comments, most of which were written by those who had not the courage to attribute their names to their defamatory screeds. Not more than a few hours after the results were posted, the Tattler ceased operations, claim-ing it would be on a “spring cleaning” break for some time to come. The owner of said blog was candi-date John Crawford who seemed to relish in con-troversy anywhere or way he could find it or, barring that, make it up.

His sma l l band of “anonymous” supporters spent most of the campaign extolling the demise of the town if its citizens voted anything other than the Crawford/Alcorn/ Watts ticket.

The endless ramblings of Crawford and his broad-band of digital disciples did not, it now seems apparent, impress enough members of the community, and the election results themselves will stand as testament to that fact. That, combined with MacGillivray’s re-cent outburst in which the ceremonial gavel was used

repeatedly to nail shut her own crowded coffin.

The general consensus Tuesday evening in speak-ing with a number of vot-ers was that the return of civility and graciousness to local government was essential, something “had to happen,” as one voter said.

The Eminent Domain measure also passed with 86% of the voters saying yes to the measure that pre-vents the city of Sierra Ma-dre from obtaining one’s property for the “better good” of Sierra Madre.

One jubilant Joe Mosca supporter quipped that Crawford only managed to beat perennial candidate “Eagle” Bill Tice, suggest-ing that a new outlet might run a satirical headline such as “In Shocker, Craw-ford Bests Tice,” though no new organization, as of yet, has attained the level of Tattler-esque shameless-ness to do so.

One voter stood on the corner of Sierra Madre Blvd and Baldwin Tues-day evening as the polling places begged their last vot-ers. Bearing not only the pre-printed Mosca-Moran-Walsh campaign signs but also a hand written sign which read: “Return civil-ity to City Council – Vote.” Paul Hapersarian helped the protestor make that mo-mentous decision Tuesday evening.

The next city coun-cil meet ing is April 27 where the new elected officials will be sworn in and the new mayor will be selected.

came all the well-known tunes from Busby Berkeley’s Warner Bros. backstage stories that included “We’re in the Money”, “I Only Have Eyes for You”, and “Shuffle off to Buffalo” and “Lullaby of Broadway” among them. Moving to 20th Century Fox, Warren wrote, first for Glenn Miller movies, then Betty Grable and the wonderful Carmen Miranda, and many more. Tunes from these films included “Chat-tanooga Choo Choo”, “At Last”, You’ll Never Know”, and for Miranda, “The Lady in the Tutti-Frutti Hat”. At MGM, he often collabo-rated with Johnny Mercer where they wrote “Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe” for the Judy Garland film “The Harvey Girls”. Be-

cause he wrote some 400 songs and so many were hits, the list goes on and on. But, just one more. From the 1950’s, most remember “An Affair to Remember”, the title tune which was nominated for an Academy Award, but did not win, and Dean Martin’s hit “That’s Amore”. With music like this, the show “Harry Who?” is bound to be terrific.

“Harry Who?” at the Ambassa-dor Auditorium will be presented two times on Saturday, April 24—at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Ticket prices range from $15 to $40 and can be ordered by calling (800) 595-4849 or visiting www.harrywho.org.

All-Singing, All-Dancing Show to Benefit Performance Groups

Rehearsals for “Harry Who?” began in early March for the April 24 show at Ambassador Auditorium that reprises composer Harry Warren’s long string of song hits in the 1930’s and 1940’s.

of a turn of the century tavern (presumedly the turn from 18th to 19th century). They wanted it to have a small town, old town, Midwestern feel to the Alehouse. The goal was to create “a comfortable place to hang out.”

There are discretely placed televisions, but the em-phasis is not on watching the screens. The Spencer said that theirs is not a sports bar, but a place to gather, meet with friends and enjoy good food and good conversation. “If you want to watch TV, go home.” Tony advised.

T. Phillip’s Poised to OpenContinued from Page 10

The Palmdale desert is a perfect spot for wildflow-ers and spaceships. And as I recently learned, it is also a great location for a luxury hotel. I guess that is why the new $43 million Embassy Suites Palmdale opened here in February.

I discovered the retreat while planning a getaway to NASA’s Aerospace Explo-ration Gallery. I figured the hotel would make a good home base while visiting the Antelope Valley; but I didn’t figure it would become the highlight of the weekend.

Located off the 14 Free-way, the Embassy Suites is a desert oasis. It blends into its rugged, mountain-backed environment with palm trees, classy architecture and a sandy-textured exterior.

The upscale, all-suite hotel features 150 spacious two-room suites with dedi-cated work and living spaces; free high-speed Internet, two large flat-screen TV’s, com-fortable sofas, plush beds and modern bathroom furnish-ings. The rooms also come with microwave, coffee mak-er, and mini-refrigerator.

My 6th-floor suite over-looked the San Gabriel Mountains and a field of wildflowers and Joshua trees.

Embassy Suites Palmdale: An Oasis in the Desert

It was so comfortable I didn’t want to leave – that is un-til I heard about the free daily Manager’s Reception held in the lounge. Offering complimentary wine, beer, well drinks and snacks, this unique perk is a favorite among Embassy insiders.

After a few Bloody Mary’s at the reception I toured the hotel. My first stop was the state-of-the-art Precor fitness center, which fea-tures cardio machines with mounted televisions, and a variety of free weight equip-ment. Next to the room is an indoor pool and Jacuzzi. The hotel also boasts a snack shop with coffee, beer, wine, quick food items, and toiletries, as well as 3,032 sq.-ft. of meeting and banquet space.

After exploring the property I experience dinner at the hotel’s signature Four-teen Restaurant and Lounge.

Named after the 14 Freeway that runs through Palmdale, the restaurant features a modern contemporary de-sign with dark woods, warm stone, sleek metal surfaces and a whimsical color pal-ette. The restaurant serves “value-priced contemporary American cuisine.”

A friend and I began dinner with French onion soup, fried mozzarella sticks with spicy marinara and ranch sauce; chicken pot stickers with ponzu sauce; and a big Embassy house salad with mixed greens, veggies and shaved green apple.

For the main course I devoured a 12-oz Four pep-percorn crusted rib eye with baked potato and grilled asparagus, and my friend en-joyed grilled Atlantic salmon with wild rice pilaf and sau-téed vegetables. We shared

white chocolate brownie cheesecake for dessert. Af-ter dinner we relaxed in the lounge area, next to the large stone fireplace.

In the morning we took advantage of another Embas-sy perk: free cooked-to-order breakfast, with an incredible omelet bar, pancakes and waffles, cereals, fruit, juices and coffee. After break-fast we drove to the nearby Aerospace Exploration Gal-lery (www.aeroi.org), where we looked viewed jets and rockets and got a glimpse into NASA’s exciting past, present and future in the Antelope Valley and outer space.

Embassy Suites Palm-dale is located at 39375 5th St. West, Palmdale, 93551. For more info and current spe-cials, call (661) 266-3756 or visit: www.palmdale.embas-sysuites.com.

There will be live music soon including jazz, classic rock, and blues.

When it opens to the public, T. Phillip’s will be open from 11 to 11 Sunday through Thursday and from 11 to 12 on Friday and Saturday.

This is not a totally new venture for the Spencers, they are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the original T. Phillip’s in La Verne. One can hope that the food here will be a good as that in La Verne which was de-scribed by one patron of that establishment as “pretty good grub.”

The critically applaud-ed Calder Quartet and 17 members of the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus (LACC) Chamber Singers joined forces to perform at a special eve-ning salon for music lovers on March 13 at the Maxwell House, located at the Western Justice Center Foundation in Pasadena.

The innovative and eclec-tic concert, which benefited LACC, included works by Mo-zart, Ravel and Frith. Guests also enjoyed wine, cheese and dessert. Rachel Fine, LACC executive director, who noted that the two ensembles had previously collaborated, said, “It was a truly amazing memo-rable evening.”

The 2010 Pasadena Showcase House of Design.

Lillias Ann (Doony) Wilson Coombs passed away on March 19, 2010. She was born in Monrovia on July 18, 1928, the youngest of Henry and Lillias Macdonald Wil-son’s seven children. In Jr. High she met the love of her life, Richard (Dick) Coombs, and they married on June 13, 1948. They enjoyed over 60 years of marriage, until Dick’s death in December, 2008.

Thiers was a true ro-mance. At the services for her father their daughter Dana recalled that her father always said that he fell in love

for the first time in Jr. High and he fell in love for the last time in Jr. High. She said that her father had proposed to her mother in a letter while in the Navy. Her mother, think-ing he was only lonely and homesick, decided to teach him a lesson. “She has been teaching him that lesson for sixty years,” Dana said.

Together they had two children. In support of those children, she was involved in PTA, boy scouts, Job’s Daughters, and DeMolay. She worked as a church sec-retary and office manager.

She was active in the

Monrovia Loses Lillias Coombscommittee which put to-gether Monrovia’s Centen-nial celebration in 1986. Two major developments came out of that celebration: The Monrovia Volunteer Center and the Historical Museum. After Centennial, Lillias became the founding direc-tor of the Volunteer Center, a position she held for twelve years. She did not ignore the museum either serving for many years as a volunteer docent.

Among her many ac-colades was being named Outstanding Citizen by the Monrovia Coordinat-

ing Council, Woman of the Year for this State Senatorial District in 1996, Monrovia’s Older American of the Year in 2000, and a Presidential Recognition for Volunteer Service. Lillias was an active member of the First Presby-terian Church of Monrovia, the Monrovia High School Alumni Association, the Monrovia Guild of Chil-dren’s Hospital, and PEO Chapter EC.

Ut there was great deal more to this truly kind wom-an. She was a gentle, yet firm person, who managed to ac-complish a great deal with her sweet smile and calm nature. She will be missed

by this community. Most of all she will be missed by her family.

Lillias is survived by her daughter, Dana Young, and her son, Richard Coombs, Jr. and his wife Kim Hub-bard. She is also survived by seven grandchildren—Christine Young, Kevin Young and his wife Amy, Corinne Burton and her hus-band Brian, Michael Young, Deanne Mendoza and her husband Ramon, Richard Coombs III, and Mere-dith Coombs—and thirteen great-grandchildren. She was beloved “Aunt Doony” to her numerous nieces and nephews.

A memorial service was held on Saturday, March 27 at the First Presbyterian Church in Monrovia. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Mon-rovia Historical Museum (P.O. Box 734, Monrovia, CA 91017) or Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (www.chla.org).
