Senator Margett Honors Women's Advocate 

Camille Levee as "Woman of the Year" 

GLENDORA — Senator Bob 

Margett (R-Glendora) is pleased 

to announce Camille Levee of 

Monrovia as his 2007 "Woman 

of the Year". 

"Camille is the natural choice 

for this award," said Senator 

Margett. 

"She is a community leader 

whose dedication and spirit of 

volunteerism has improved the 

lives of hundreds of women and 

children throughout the 29th Sen- 

St. Patrick's Day Weekend Impaired 

Driver Crackdown by Los Angeles 

County Law Enforcement 

LOS ANGELES — Celebrating 

Saint Patrick's Day is a grand 

old tradition, but driving while 

drunk is a "tradition" that kills and 

injures thousands of people each 

year. This is the message from 

law enforcement throughout Los 

Angeles County today as they 

increase their manpower over the 

holiday weekend to combat 

drunken driving. 

Impaired driving is one of 

America's most-often-committed 

and deadliest crimes. Overall 

in 2005, 16,885 people died 

in alcohol-related highway 

crashes. Of those, nearly 13,000 

were killed in crashes involving 

a driver with an illegal blood alcohol 

concentration (BAC) of 

.08 or higher. 

The "Avoid the 40, Los Angeles 

County DUI Task Force" and 

its partnering agencies, including 

the California Highway Patrol, 

L.A. County Sheriff's Department 

and L.A.P.D., will be 

conducting several checkpoints 

ate District." 

Camille is a busy lady with a 

successful career. 

She is currently Executive 

Director of the non-profit Glendale 

Healthy Kids, which provides 

medical services to lowincome 

uninsured children. 

Prior to that, she was director 

of development at Pasadena's 

Haven House, which shelters victims 

of domestic violence. 

Camille has been a member of 

and DUI patrols in a number of 

cities. In addition to the regular 

on-duty shift of officers and 

deputies, more than 100 additional 

law enforcement personnel 

will be out in force ensuring 

drunk drivers are removed before 

they kill or injure themselves 

or others. Motorists passing 

through the checkpoints will receive 

educational information 

regarding the dangers of drunk 

driving while violators of DUI 

laws will be arrested. 

"Don't press your luck," said 

Glendora Police Chief Chuck 

Montoya, "If you are going to 

drink alcohol, play it safe and 

plan to have a non-drinking designated 

driver to get home safely. 

Help us reduce injuries and possibly 

save a life by utilizing sound 

judgment when you go out drinking.

water issues, including water 

recycling projects that are critical 

to water supplies in Southern 

California. The Energy and 

Mineral Resources Subcommittee 

has oversight over oil and 

natural gas production, mining 

and energy-related activities at 

the Department of Interior.

F. Kennedy Profile in Courage 

Award in 2000 for her 

groundbreaking work on environmental 

justice, previously 

served on the House Natural Resources 

Committee during her 

first term in Congress. Last week 

Solis was appointed as Vice 

Chair of the Energy and Commerce 

Committee's Environment 

and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee 

by Congressman 

John Dingell, Chair of the Committee. 

Solis is a member of the Health

said. 

The "Avoid the 40 Los Angeles 

County DUI Task Force" is 

comprised of 40 law enforcement 

agencies, who are dedicated 

to working together to provide 

education and enforcement 

to reduce deaths and injuries as 

a result of DUI drivers. The 

Glendora Police Department is 

the host and coordinating agency 

for the "Avoid the 40" which is 

funded by a three-year, $1 million-plus 

grant awarded by the 

California Office of Traffic 

Safety through the National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration.

have done and my goal is to make 

sure that they receive the recognition 

they deserve." 

Applications are available 

online or can be picked up at 

Congressman Dreier's district

Where Do These 

Idiots Come From? 

I can’t 

help but wonder 

from where these idiots 

come. How is it that 

they can find me all the 

time? 

I am talking about those drivers 

who act like jackasses and 

can’t get it right. 

I wonder how and who gave 

them their driver’s license, or if 

they have one at all. 

The other day I was pulling 

into the Lillian Keil Post Office 

on Rimsdale in Covina. I was 

behind this lady who was in a 

midsize family van. 

She made the turn into the 

parking lot and then just stopped 

there. Seeing that were plenty 

of parking spots, I assumed that 

she was going to park in one of 

them. 

The third parking spot from 

the door was open. 

So, the coast was clear and I 

followed. 

She just sat there and didn’t 

move. I was blocking the sidewalk 

and part of the street. 

The guy behind me attempted 

to pull in behind me. 

We ended up making a roadblock. 

I blew the horn at the lady, and 

she ignored me. 

I soon saw, what I assume 

was her daughter, get out with a 

hand full of mail. 

She left the van and headed 

for the building. She was about 

16 years old. I assume the driver 

was her mother. 

Well, “mom” finally moved 

her van, but only a few feet. I 

thought she was going to pull 

into the parking spot but no... she 

just wanted to drive slowly. I 

blew the horn for a little longer 

period and still, nothing. 

So I laid on the horn as two 

cars were trying to back out, one 

on each side of me. 

She finally drove into one of 

the parking stalls. 

I went in and saw that her 

daughter was in line. 

She got some stamps and then 

she started to apply them to her 

50 or so envelopes while standing 

at the window. 

The clerk asked her to move 

away so she could help me, but 

she held her ground and acted 

like she didn’t understand English. 

I simply went up to the win-

COMMENTARY/LETTERS 

dow and set my packages down. 

The girl left a few seconds before 

me. 

I pulled out only to find myself 

stuck behind this van. She 

drove up to the traffic light, 

which was red. 

I wanted to make a right turn, 

but she made sure she covered 

enough area so I could not pass 

on the right. 

No cars were coming and I 

could have made the right turn, 

but had to wait. 

When the light changed, I expected 

this idiot to drive off 

straight or to make a left, but 

noooo. 

She made a right turn. I was 

stuck behind her. I followed and 

we made a left turn on the same 

street, Lark Ellen and headed 

south. 

I couldn’t believe it when she 

stopped at the very next street 

at a GREEN LIGHT. That’s 

right, a green light. 

I blew the horn for her to 

move her butt, but all she did was 

look in the mirror. 

Then she did the unforgivable. 

She turned on her turn signal. 

She did not bother to pull into 

the intersection and when the 

light changed, she didn’t bother 

to turn. 

I had to sit through the red 

light. 

When the light changed, she 

still didn’t move, so I let her 

know to move up into the intersection 

by rolling down the window 

and yelling, “MOVE UP!!!” 

Heck, I think I was louder 

than my car horn, because it 

worked. 

I am sure I will run into her 

again and many members of her 

family. 

“That’s just the way it is!”

Letters to the Editor 

Soldiers Are Dems’ Pawns 

Isn't it great that our Democrat 

leaders have used our soldiers 

in Iraq as political pawns 

in the war? 

They have vetoed sending 

more troops and more financial 

assistance to help the existing 

troops that are already there. 

This has all the makings of another 

Vietnam. A war of the politicians 

at the expense of our 

troops. 

Our troops need this troop 

backup, regardless of how the 

war was started and what or 

who is the blame. What happened 

to 100% backing of our 

troops? These troops are tired 

and are in dire need of replacements. 

How do these troops 

feel, thinking that politicians have 

failed to support them? 

Can you imagine our police 


departments in a riot situation 

calling for backup while the politicians 

decline them any assistance 

as the politicians bicker at 

the top? This is the same situation 

with a different arena. 

They are there in Iraq fighting 

and we need a strong government 

support for our troops 

including sending troops as 

backup. We also must set a 

deadline to get out of Iraq. 

We are weakening our nation 

by all this bickering and other 

countries have observed the diversity 

that is eating away at the 

foundation of our once strong 

nation. 

God Bless America and pray 

for our troops and the decisions 

our politicians make.

To Professor Shaffer: 

I share your views indubitably, 

but I didn't see the word 

"slackers" in what we referred 

to as "draft dodgers" when they 

drafted me in 1952, and was sent 

to Korea by the menacing look 

of "Uncle Sam" on the posters, 

pointing his finger at me and saying, 

"I want you!" I have the indignant 

feeling that if more of 

these senators and congressmen 

had experienced what Murtha, 

Kerry, Webb, McCain and others 

had gone through, given the 

right kind of intelligence report 

and truth, they wouldn't have 

voted for this debacle, especially 

if they had known that "W" 

would take them down that 

"primrose path" to "Armageddon." 

I have to say that I don't agree 

with "surge" or escalation and 

need to deploy our troops A. S. 

A. P. into Afghanistan and see if 

Bush's democratic government 

and Iraqi forces can maintain 

some kind of initiative and satisfy 

his idealism, no matter what 

course of ideology he pursues. 

Our forces are stretched too thin 

to be able to complete multiple 

tours of duty, without reinstating 

the draft. Look at it this way! 

They can't get enough volun- 

teers, even with enticing them 

right out of high schools with not 

only a bonus for signing up, but 

a new play station game besides. 

Hot dog! They had banned recruiters 

from going on school 

and college campuses, but "big 

brother" said it was illegal, and 

would cut off government funds 

to private schools. If they would 

take the new graduates right out 

of school before they had made 

up their minds to get married or 

go to college or get a job, they 

wouldn't have a problem of filling 

their quota. They could defer 

them just like before, when 

they enrolled in college, but they 

would have to fulfill that obligation 

when they dropped out or 

graduated. Think what that 

would do for education, enrollment, 

and the teacher shortage! 

Enlightening, huh? I know what 

some of these bleeding hearts are 

going to say, but they were 

dratfing seniors right out of my 

high school, but gave them the 

right of the G. I. bill. "Don't 

knock it until you've tried it" is 

one saying, and the other one is 

my right, "Been there, done 

that!"

Winning Candidates 

I would like to congratulate 

the winning candidates for the 

Azusa election on March 6, 

2007. Our great new mayor is 

Joe Rocha. 

He is a great person, whose 

only special interest is the people 

of Azusa. I feel he will be our 

mayor, as long as he wants the 

job. He was a great councilman, 

and will be even a better mayor. 

Good luck, for a long success- 

ful mayoral run. 

Also, good luck to Mr. Uriel 

Macias, a newly elected Azusa 

councilman. I feel he will work 

well with our great mayor, Joe 

Rocha. 

Here's to a successful campaign 

of great people. Good luck 

and thanks.

COMMENTARY 


Your Government Can See Right Through You! 

Time was when air travelers 

could hustle down to the airport 

several minutes before departure, 

flash their tickets at the airline 

attendants, rush onto the aircraft, 

plant themselves in their 

seats, and light up a cigarette, 

pipe or cigar in the smoking section. 

If you didn't have too much 

baggage, you could carry all of 

it aboard, stash it in the overhead 

compartment or underseat, and 

hang your delicate duds in a special 

area near the front exit. 

As a single-multi-engine, instrument-rated, 

commercial pilot, 

I would flick my lapel wings 

and inform the attractive, young 

stewardesses (now flight attendants 

of all sexual persuasions, 

ages and physiques) that I WAS 

ABOARD! They would treat me 

with utmost respect and attention, 

thinking that, if some evil 

fate would befall the pilots, I 

would be there to save the plane 

and everyone on it. Little did they 

realize that I knew ABSO- 

LUTELY NOTHING about the 

aircraft we were flying. And, if 

something SERIOUS happened, 

I'd be the first guy out the door! 

My, my . . . How times have 

changed! Today, if I brought at- 

California Assemblywoman 

Patty Berg is again sponsoring a 

controversial bill to legalize death 

with dignity. Her "Compassionate 

Choices Act" would permit 

patients with untreatable terminal 

illnesses to end their lives by 

self-administering drugs prescribed 

by a physician. Such legislation 

is long overdue. 

The bill has outraged some 

religious fundamentalists who 

denounce it as physician-assisted 

suicide. Fringe elements on the 

religious right, joined by politicians 

who make a phony appeal 

to "family values," will flood letters 

columns, talk shows and 

Internet blogs, demonizing the 

bill and its supporters. 

The great majority of Californians, 

however, sympathize with 

the proposal. They're also ambivalent, 

and look for persuasive 

arguments one way or the other. 

This column will attempt to answer 

some of their concerns. 

This isn't the first time such a 

bill has received serious attention 

in Sacramento. 

Last year it came within a 

single vote of reaching the floor 

where its passage was virtually 

assured. The deciding negative 

vote was cast by a Democrat 

engaged in a close race for a 

state senate seat (which he lost 

anyway) who apparently feared 

that support for the measure 

would jeopardize his election. 

What the governor would 

have done with the bill is uncertain. 

He tends to speak out of 

both sides of his mouth on so- 

J.J. McDonough 

tention to my flying prowess, I'd 

be scowled at as a potential hijacking 

terrorist, and scrutinized 

by air marshals throughout the 

flight. Furthermore, you have to 

arrive at the terminal HOURS 

before take-off time. If you have 

a computer-bought ticket like 

most of us, you have to stand in 

lines longer than those at a 

Disneyland special attraction just 

to get to the reception counter 

to confirm your ticket and check 

your baggage. And, don't try to 

take any carry-on with you 

larger than a box-lunch, lest you 

be besieged at the boarding gate 

and your excess baggage relegated 

to cargo. 

Next comes passage through

cial reform issues, offering faint 

praise of a proposal just before 

he finds some technical reason 

to shoot it down. 

Based on his previous statements, 

he would have said it was 

an issue for the voters to decide 

or that the courts ought to rule 

on. Then he's back to raising 

funds for his upcoming race for 

the U.S. Senate. [Yes, the Senate. 

What else would he run for 

since he's ineligible for the presidency?] 

Shrewd critics of death with 

dignity, the ones who manipulate 

rather than shriek, will latch on 

to some minor provision in the 

current bill in an effort to scuttle 

it. 

But their real reason, kept under 

wraps, will be based on religious 

beliefs that they would like 

to impose on the rest of us, as 

though they have a monopoly on 

ethics. 

A terminally ill person of 

sound mind ought to have the 

right, in consultation with one or 

more doctors, to do more than 

security. The Security Agents 

(some of whom are non-citizens 

and ILLEGAL ALIENS!) will 

make you empty your pockets, 

and run the contents, your shoes, 

your jacket, briefcase and other 

stuff through metal and X-ray 

detectors. Woe to you, if they 

find such lethal weapons as fingernail 

clippers, knitting needles, 

liquid baby formula, , mouthwash, 

and the like. Because, such 

items make you a potential threat, 

and subject to ADDITIONAL 

SEARCH -- especially if you're 

an 80-year-old granny! 

Here's where Big Brother 

Government is becoming IN- 

CREASINGLY CREATIVE. 

Time was when they'd embarrass 

you in front of your fellow 

travelers by taking you aside to 

do a COMPREHENSIVE patdown. 

That is, unless you were 

a member of a group that could 

scream "Profiling!!", while one 

of the mavens from MALDEF, 

the ACLU or CAIR (Council of 

American-Islamic Relations) 

waited in the wings to file a civilrights 

lawsuit for you. 

Now there's an added treat for 

inveterate government security 

voyeurs and dedicated passenger 

stop medical treatment. The law 

should recognize the right to end 

one's suffering when it becomes 

medically evident and apparent to 

the patient that there will be no 

quality of life left. 

Or, put it another way: the 

right to die should be recognized 

when the struggle to live far outweighs 

the benefits of the continuation 

of life. 

California's proposed legislation 

is patterned after Oregon's. 

Oregon voters adopted the law 

as an initiative in 1994, then defeated 

overwhelmingly an effort 

to overturn it in 1997. It was first 

used in 1998. 

Enter the Bush Administration. 

Attorney General John Ashcroft 

found the law in violation of federal 

drug laws and attempted to 

ban it. The U.S. Supreme Court 

ruled six to three that he didn't 

have such authority. 

Oregon law specifically prohibits 

euthanasia, defined as administration 

of a lethal injection 

by a physician or anyone else. 

Furthermore, the law declares 

that death with dignity is distinct 

from suicide, and that the physician 

who writes the prescription 

is not engaged in assisted suicide 

or homicide. 

To utilize the Oregon law a 

patient must be at least 18 years 

old, a state resident, suffering 

from a terminal illness with death 

anticipated within six months, 

and able to make and communicate 

health care decisions. 

Two oral requests for the prescription 

to a physician, at least 


exhibitionists. On Feb. 23, at 

Phoenix's Sky Harbor International 

Airport, those often corpulent, 

non-citizen, illegal alien 

agents of the Transportation Security 

Administration began using 

a "backscatter" X-ray device 

that will do the same as a stripsearch, 

without actually stripping 

you! If they suspect you of "harboring" 

weapons, explosives, 

drugs or other "contraband" (and 

what SHAPELY DAMSEL 

doesn't!), they'll use the "backscatter" 

device on you -- WITH 

YOUR PERMISSION, OF 

COURSE! The government ensures 

us that a "privacy algorithm" 

is used to "clean up" the 

image, and make it appear "somewhat 

chalky". 

Except for telling our terrorist-enemies 

when our troops will 

leave Iraq, CAN YOU BELIEVE 

ANYTHING the government 

says? They still grant "exemptions" 

to "profile-sensitive" 

groups, and won't tell all they 

know about UFOs and whether 

there's water on Pluto! 

The government claims it 

needs to use the "backscatter" 

device because ceramic knives, 

plastic guns and liquid explosives 

two weeks apart, are required 

from the patient, followed by a 

written request. Two physicians 

must agree that the patient is capable 

of making the decision. If 

either doctor believes the 

patient's judgment is impaired, a 

psychological exam is required. 

The patient has to self administer 

the lethal medication. Neither 

the physician nor anyone else can 

do it. 

To those who fear an epidemic 

of death under this legislation, 

the statistics from Oregon 

don't support that scenario. By 

the end of 2005, only 246 persons 

had taken their own lives

next date! It sure beats, "Where 

have we met before?") The rest 

of the country should not feel 

left-out of all this. New York and

receive the "backscatter". Later, 

it will be expanded to other air

COMMENTARY 

The Gulf's Middle Class: A Closer Look 

In my last column, I presented 

a snapshot of the middle class in 

the Gulf countries of Saudi 

Arabia, UAE and Bahrain. The 

picture produced by our polling 

at Zogby International, allowed 

us to describe some characteristics 

of this class, and measure, 

in a general way, their attitudes 

towards a variety of social and 

economic concerns. 

Those in this Gulf Arab middle 

class, as we reported, were 

largely wage-earners, working in 

what would be called in the West 

"white collar" jobs. 

They had expectations of upward 

mobility for themselves and 

their children. While varying 

from country to country, this 

initial reading of the data showed 

that the overall outlook of the 

middle class was, for the most 

part, positive. 

That was the good news. Like 

any snapshot, the picture was 

one-dimensional and taken from 

a particular angle.Utilizing the 

same data and altering the angle 

of vision yields a somewhat different 

picture, even revealing areas 

of concern. 

While it is true that when 

looked at as a group, the measurements 

of the Saudi middle 

class appear to be positive, when 

that same group is viewed 

through the lens of age or 

whether they are employed in the 

public or private sectors, a very 

different picture emerges. 

Saudis under 30 years of age, 

for example, are less secure with 

Regarding elections and why 

Republicans lost the last one, and 

why they lose elections that they 

could otherwise have won - they 

do an unbelievably lousy job of 

public relations. This has always 

been a source of both curiosity 

and frustration to me. In my opinion, 

the Republicans are on the 

right side of almost every single 

principal which forms the backbone 

of the American way of life, 

but rarely do you ever hear a 

forceful, vigorous, and enlightened 

presentation of their views 

from any of their leading politicians. 

I remember but 2 - 

Goldwater and, of course, the 

great communicator himself, 

Reagan. I once wrote Bush asking 

him how come Democrats 

do a much better job of marketing 

lies than Republicans do of 

telling the truth. After all, Republicans 

stand for personal responsibility 

(seeking to foster a feeling 

of independence among the 

electorate), a strong system of 

public education, a strong military, 

etc., etc. and yet they always 

seem timid in advancing 

their cause. 

The Dems, on the other hand, 

advance the cause of dependency 

by constantly creating new 

entitlements - i.e., you don't have

their jobs, and less satisfied with 

the amount of income they earn 

and the quality of their lives, than 

are older Saudis. 

An even closer look at the 

data reveals why these younger 

Saudis feel less better-off than 

their older compatriots. 

Younger Saudis are more employed 

in the private sector (almost 

two-thirds), while those 

over 30 are more employed in the 

public sector (more than onehalf), 

and younger Saudis are 

employed in significantly lower 

paying jobs. 

In Saudi Arabia, while public 

sector positions are, overall, 

more secure, better paying and 

subject to more regular wage increases, 

the same is not the case 

in the private sector. Those employed 

in the private sector, in 

fact, fall at both ends of the continuum. 

This group contains both the 

wealthiest Saudis, at one end of 

the scale, and the majority of the 

poor at the other. And herein lies 

the potential for an even greater 

Ken Eliasberg 

to do it for yourself, just let the 

government do it for you - in 

order to buy votes. And they have 

been doing that for over 60 

years, ever since Harry Hopkins 

posed the tax-and-spend approach 

to FDR. I suspect that 

during the New Deal era, they 

may have been inspired by good 

intentions (at least that was the 

assumption that I entertained 

during my years in the liberal 

wilderness) - an effort to get a 

nation off its back and on its feet. 

Since then, however, it has become 

a necessity - otherwise, 

without handouts, their base 

would desert them. I love it when 

Jesse Jackson asserts that he's 

not looking for handouts, he just 

wants a hand up. No one - and I 

mean no one - has more vigorously 

sought and secured hand- 

problem down the road. 

From my friends at McKinsey 

and Company, the group that 

commissioned our study, I 

learned that the current Saudi labor 

force of over three million 

will almost double in the next 

decade, adding over 300,000 

new job-seekers each year. This 

rapid expansion in employment 

cannot by met by the public sector 

without greatly expanding and 

severely straining government 

resources. But with the private 

sector currently creating only 

about 80,000 new jobs each year 

(and too many of these at the low 

end of the wage scale), a difficult 

situation looms just over the 

horizon. 

What I learned from my recent 

visit to the Kingdom is that 

some government officials and 

business leaders are attentive to 

these problems. That is why 

there are, at present, ambitious 

plans to construct five rather 

massive new industrial cities. 

When completed, and if successful, 

these new communities 



The 2006 Election And The War In Iraq: Some Loose Ends 

outs than Jesse Jackson. Indeed, 

he has used handouts for him to 

prosper on the backs of his 

people. I'm not saying this 

merely to point out that Jesse 

Jackson is no more than your 

garden variety charlatan - which, 

indeed, he is. Rather, I'm saying 

it to point out both the bankruptcy 

and hypocrisy of the cries 

of the left. 

This constant garbage about 

helping the "little guy" is just that 

- garbage! No one has done more 

to keep the little guy little than 

the Dems. Why? Because when 

he outgrows that label, he won't 

vote for them. Jackson and the 

blacks are again a perfect illustration 

of this approach. What 

have the Dems done for the 

blacks - or as George Bush said 

on his visit to the Urban League, 

is your arrangement with the 

Democratic Party working out 

for you? What they - the Dems - 

have done for the Blacks are 2 

things - welfare and quotas. Both 

convey the message that without 

our help, you can't do it for 

yourself. And both have been incredibly 

harmful to the black 

community. 

Welfare - When Daniel Patrick 

Moynihan, the super liberal, rendered 

his report on problems in 

are designed to generate millions 

of new jobs, mostly in the private 

sector. 

To get there, of course, will 

require more than capital, bricks 

and mortar. Changes will be required 

in the Saudi educational 

system and the young must be 

imbued with a greater sense that 

with ambition, hard work and 

skill, social and economic advancement 

can occur. At the 

same time, more must be done 

to foster small start-up businesses 

that can create not only 

new jobs, but become generators 

of new wealth and upward mobility. 

It is a good sign that some 

Saudis are aware of these challenges 

and engaged in planning 

to meet the demands created by 

this phenomenal growth. In 

Bahrain and the UAE there are 

different problems, to be sure, 

but here too I found leadership 

engaged. 

My visit occurred while multiple 

conflicts (and the danger of 

more) roiled in the region and 

consumed public discourse. 

What was impressive was that 

despite the uncertainty created by 

these many crises, some political 

and business leaders were 

moving apace to address the current 

and future challenges facing 

their rapidly changing societies. 

But the difficulties inherent in 

maintaining this focus in the 

midst of regional upheaval cannot 

be overestimated.If US 

the black community in 1965, he 

noted that the single biggest 

problem was illegitimacy. At the 

time, the Black community had 

a 25% illegitimacy rate, i.e., 1 out 

of every 4 babies was born out 

of wedlock. Thanks to welfare, 

the black community had a 70% 

illegitimacy rate. Do handouts 

work? Yes, 

counterproductively!! When affirmative 

action was being considered, 

I distinctly remember (I 

was both a liberal and in D.C. at 

the time) Hubert Humphrey, on 

the floor of the Senate, saying 

that affirmative action does not 

mean quotas. Today, that's exactly 

what it means. As I wrote 

to a black friend some time 

back, don't you realize that everything 

the Dems do for you is 

telling you that you are incapable 

of doing it for yourself? 

Now why do I mention this/ 

Because the black community is 

the only reason that the Dems 

have not become the Whigs of 

the 20th and 21st centuries. 

Why? Because 90% of blacks 

vote Democrat, which means 

that every Democrat nominee for 

president starts out with an 8 to 

9 million voter edge. If the blacks 

voted only 75% Democrat, the 

Dems are finished. That is why 

policy-makers wanted to play a 

constructive role in promoting 

social and economic advancement 

in this region, they would 

work to resolve and tamp down 

existing conflicts and most certainly 

refrain from creating new 

ones. 

For Gulf Arab society to move 

forward, the full attention of 

leaders and citizens alike will be 

required. As long as Iraq is in 

danger of imploding, the existential 

crisis in Palestine remains 

unresolved and the danger of war 

with Iran looms large, it will be 

difficult to focus the full energy 

and resources required to meet 

pressing needs. 

The snapshot we took reveals 

so much more when we look at 

it differently and when our understanding 

of its subject matter 

is informed by additional information. 

It is not unlike an old 

photo of a smiling family. A 

stranger to that family wouldn't 

understand the history or context 

of the photo - the underlying 

tensions masked by a smile 

or the unfortunate (or blessed) 

events that took place a few 

months after it was taken. 

And so it is that at first glance, 

our poll of the middle class 

merely revealed the characteristics 

of this socio-economic 

grouping. But on a closer inspection, 

we are able to add detail 

revealing potential fault lines and 

also better define what needs to 

be done to address the problems 

that lurk ahead. 

they pander to and patronize the 

black community. And that is 

why they suppress them with 

handouts. By the way, welfare 

reform - an agenda forced on Bill 

Clinton by the Republican Congress 

has been extremely successful, 

even though the Dems 

fought it all the way. Indeed the 

only angry resignation of a high 

ranking Clinton official (over a 

prolonged period of scandal, during 

which Clinton lied to everyone, 

including his entire cabinet) 

- Marian Wright Edelman's husband 

- was over welfare reform. 

Do you think the Dems might 

admit that they were wrong - 

never happen. You see, being liberal 

means never having to say 

you're sorry because you will 

never admit that you were 

wrong. 

What does this have to do 

with the recent election. A great 

deal. It goes to the point of which 

party does a better job of getting 

their message out - no matter 

how decent, honest, or appropriate 

that message may be. And 

it is clearly the Dems who do a 

better job of it. Granted, they 

control the mainstream media, 

but that still does not explain the 

ineptitude of the Republican party

The Glass Is One-Third Empty! 

Why does anyone still care 

what Alan Greenspan says about 

the economy? Ben Bernanke has 

been Chairman of the Fed for 

more than a year, while 

Greenspan has been unplugged 

from the data-collecting and forecast-crunching 

network of the 

Fed's research staff. And yet, an 

off the cuff remark from 

Greenspan two weeks ago about 

the possibility pf recession was 

- and still is - credited with playing 

a key role in a $2 trillion global 

equity market sell-off. 

WHEN GREENSPAN 

SPEAKS, INVESTORS LIS- 

TEN - When Greenspan said the 

economy would possibly fall into 

recession by the end of the year, 

the story was picked up by every 

financial news outlet and discussed 

for days. Last week, 

Greenspan clarified his prediction, 

saying there is a one-third 

probability of recession this year. 

An optimist might say that 

means a two-thirds chance of no 

recession, but Greenspan's con-

KEN HERMAN 

Glendora 

Mayor Pro-Tem 

Financial - Ask Julia 

There's a lot in the news 

about some lenders going out 

of business, as well as an increase 

in foreclosures. Can you 

explain what's happening, and 

will this affect house sales? 

Some lenders were offering 

ways for folks to "qualify" for 

and obtain a loan that they really 

shouldn't have been approved for 

and/or couldn't afford. This is 

resulting in a lose/lose situation: 

the new homeowners find themselves 

in foreclosure, and the 

lenders find themselves losing 

money. In my opinion, it's about 

time some sanity was introduced 

into the mortgage industry. This 

happens every so many years 

and works out for the better. 

Because there is a huge shortage 

in California housing, I don't 

see this adversely affecting house 

sales. It will be more difficult 

for buyers who do not have 

good credit, good income, or at 

least a 5% down payment. It is 

usually possible to resolve a 

foreclosure situation, and it is 

still possible to buy a home with 

zero down. 

As I get older, I understand 

that there are certain birth dates 

that could have an impact on 

me financially. What are they? 

According to the 2006 Social 

Security Manual, The National 

Underwriter Company, there are 

several key birthdays that can 

affect your tax situation, healthcare 

eligibility, and retirement 

benefits. At age 59 ½, you can 

start taking penalty-free withdrawals 

from IRAs and qualified 

retirement plans, provided certain 

conditions are met. Ordinary 

income taxes generally apply 

to these distributions. At age 

62, you are eligible to start collecting 

Social Security benefits, 

struction was deliberate, because 

he also said the odds of recession 

begin at one-third and grow 

from there, approaching 100% 

in the next couple of years. 

But, surely Greenspan is out 

of the loop. 

He spends most of his days 

flying between speaking tours 

and writing his book. How good 

can his forecast be? 

Alan Greenspan always ran his 

own forecasting model in his 

head, digesting reams of data on 

commodity prices and raw ma- 

Julia Yoder 

although your benefit will be reduced 

by up to 30%. To receive 

full benefits, you must wait until 

"full retirement age," which 

ranges from 75 to 67, depending 

on the year you were born. 

At age 65, you are eligible to enroll 

in Medicare. Medicare Part 

A Hospital Insurance benefits are 

automatic for those eligible for 

Social Security. Part B Medical 

Insurance benefits are voluntary 

and have a monthly premium. To 

obtain coverage at the earliest 

possible date, you should generally 

enroll about 2-3 months before 

turning 65. At age 70 ½, 

you must start taking minimum 

distributions from most tax-deferred 

retirement plans or face a 

50% penalty on the amount that 

should have been withdrawn. 

Annual required minimum distributions 

are calculated according 

to life expectancies determined 

by the federal government. 

What are "Zero-Coupon 

Bonds"? 

Also known as "STRIPS," 

zero-coupon bonds are a type of 

bond that does not pay interest 

during the life of the bond. They 

are purchased at a major discount 

off the "mature value". When the 

bond matures, the purchaser will 

receive a payment including the 

terial shipments and inventories, 

not to mention hundreds of anecdotal 

tidbits collected in his 

frequent conversations with 

bankers and business leaders. He 

would put that forecast up 

against the model generated Federal 

Reserve staff forecast at 

FOMC meetings and as often as 

not, he would be right and they 

would be wrong. There is no 

reason to think he is not running 

the same mental model now. He 

is still talking to all those bankers 

and business leaders. 

Investors care what 

Greenspan thinks because investors 

know Greenspan is at least 

as good as, and maybe better 

than, the Fed at forecasting the 

course of the economy. 

LIKE MINDS - And, as it 

turns out, Greenspan and 

Bernanke might not be as far apart 

on the odds of a recession as you 

might think. During his monetary 

policy testimony last summer, 

Bernanke told Congress the odds 

of recession in 2007 were small, 

initial investment plus the accrued 

interest. If this bond is 

redeemed prior to maturity, it 

may be worth more or less than 

its original cost. Interest income 

is subject to ordinary income tax 

each year, even though the purchaser 

does not receive any interest 

until the bond matures. 

Just what is a "Stretch IRA"? 

A stretch IRA is not a special 

type of IRA, but rather a term 

frequently used to describe this 

IRA strategy, also known as a 

"multi-generational" IRA. It can 

be used to extend the tax-deferred 

savings on inherited IRA 

assets for one or more generations 

to benefit future beneficiaries. 

There is a limit to how long 

you can "stretch" an IRA; the 

IRS doesn't want to postpone 

taxes indefinitely. If you have a 

desire to extend your financial 

legacy over future generations 

and don't need the IRA assets for 

income during your lifetime, then 

this strategy may be appropriate 

for you. Because many tax and 

distribution rules must be followed, 

make sure to seek legal 

or tax counsel before making any 

final decisions. 

I'd like to annuitize my annuity 

over a number of years, 

but what happens if I die before 

that period of years is complete? 

When you annuitize, you 

should be able to set up the payout 

for a number of years, or 

"period certain." If you die before 

the period is complete, your 

designated beneficiaries could 

continue to receive payments for 

the remaining years of the contract. 

If you suspect your beneficiaries 

might quickly spend 

their inheritance, this is one way

about 30%, and that was before 

the housing slump turned into a 

housing rout. So, Greenspan 

thinks the odds are one in three, 

and Bernanke thinks the odds are 

30%. That is not exactly miles 

apart. 

Rather than questioning the 

appropriateness of Greenspan's 

comment, what we should be 

asking is why the Fed is hanging 

onto a bias to tighten (raise interest 

rates) when inflation is falling 

and Chairman Bernanke 

thinks the odds of recession are 

30%. 

GDP rose 2.6%, 2.0% and 

2.2% in the last three quarters 

of 2006, and is likely to chalk up 

another 2%-ish rise in the first 

quarter of 2007. Job growth 

slowed by 12% in 2006, and will 

slow more this year as construction 

projects begun during bet- 

Reverse Mortgage 

ter times come to an end. The 

collapse of more than 30 sub 

prime lenders and significantly 

tighter credit standards at others 

- as in, so tight that close to zero 

sub prime loans will be written 

in the next few months - could 

reduce housing demand by 20%. 

Knowing all this, it is hard to 

imagine the Fed thinks the risk 

of recession in the next twelve 

months is less than it was last 

summer. 

Yet it has maintained a tightening 

bias. There is really only 

one way to read this. The Fed is 

determined to crush inflation, and 

is willing to risk some chance of 

recession to do it.

Heart Attack May Have Caused Accident 

By George Ogden 

IRWINDALE — The Los

single vehicle accident. When 

they arrived, they found an older

which caused him to crash into

It appeared that the driver was

that the man, around 50 years old, 

may have suffered a heart attack

He may have slumped at the

Covina Resident Citrus College Foundation Scholarship 

by Stacy Quillen Armstrong 

Alicia Henry has battled drug 

addiction, survived domestic violence, 

and is now raising two 

children on her own. But while 

her story may have a tragic beginning, 

the Covina resident is 

determined to see that she and 

her children live happily ever after. 

The 36-year-old recently received 

a $500 Mary La Fetra 

scholarship, which is awarded 

each semester to four single parents 

who are continuing Citrus 

College students with grade point 

averages of 2.0 or higher. She 

says that this scholarship from 

the Citrus College Foundation 

brings her one step closer to 

reaching her ultimate goal. 

"It has done a lot to boost my 

confidence," Henry said. "Not 

only does the money help me 

pursue my dreams, but it has also 

made me aware of the fact that 

there are other students on campus 

who are like me." 

The administration of justice 

major says that receiving this 

honor has provided validation for 

her diligence. 

"I have worked extremely 

hard since I first became a Citrus 

College student two years 

ago," she said. "In fact, I have 

never received any grade point 

average below a 3.0." 

Achieving academic success 

has been difficult, Henry says. 

"Attending school is definitely 

not easy," she said. "I go to 

school full-time and work parttime. 

I have had to overcome 

financial difficulties and child 

care issues, but I have stuck to 

it." 

Henry has also had other obstacles 

to overcome. 

"At the age of 16, I started 

experimenting with drugs. I continued 

on the same path until I 

became pregnant with my second 

child," she said. "After the 

birth of my daughter Shyann, I 

went to rehab. My mom, Lucy, 

took me to a six month outpatient 

program. Finally, after 16 

years of drug use, I was clean." 

Spousal abuse was also a 

problem for Henry. 

"When I was 22-years-old, I 

had my first child, Kristian, and 

got married. Everything seemed 

wonderful until domestic violence 

entered my marriage," she 

said. "I tried to make it work, 

but it got too dangerous to stay." 

After kicking her drug habit, 

Henry decided to make a change 

in her life. 

"Getting clean made me realize 

that I wanted more out of life, 

not just for me but for my kids," 

she said. "A neighbor of mine 

told me about Citrus College's 

EOP&S (Extended Opportunities 

Programs and Services), 

CalWORKs, and CARE (Cooperative 

Agencies Resources for 

Education) programs and how 

they could help single parents 

receive a college education." 

"I enrolled at Citrus College 

two years ago and have not 

looked back," she said. 

Although the past two years 

have been difficult for Henry, she 

has accomplished quite a bit. 

"Initially, I enrolled in college 

because I wanted to earn an administration 

of justice certificate. 

Once I did that, I decided to earn 

my associate of science degree," 

she said. "I have gone above and 

beyond what I originally wanted 

to do." 

Henry's high grade point average 

made her eligible to join the 

Alpha Gamma Sigma and Pi 

Theta Kappa honors societies. 

She also received a job working 

in the Citrus College bookstore. 

While she plans on graduating at 

the end of the spring 2007 semester, 

her education won't end 

there. 

"Before I decide to transfer to 

a four-year school or enroll into 

the California Department of 

Corrections academy, I would 

like take part in the Citrus College 

Study Abroad Program," 

she said. "I am hoping to find 

the financial means to make it 

possible for me to study in Austria 

and Greece during the summer." 

While Henry's strength and 

determination have helped her 

come a long way, she says that 

she couldn't have done it alone. 

"My educational advisor, Susan 

Hensley, has really made a 

difference in my life," she said. 

"She has helped me with everything 

and I am so grateful for 

her." 

Henry says that support from 

her family has also been significant 

in helping her achieve success. 

"If it weren't for my Mom always 

being there, I don't know 

how I could have done this. My 

Mom is my rock and my best 

friend. I love her," she said. "My 

sister Ixchel asked her church to 

pray for me. My sister Darla and 

her family have been great too. 

They encouraged and loved me 

when I couldn't love myself." 

Now, Henry hopes that she 

can someday help those who find 

themselves in situations similar 

to hers. 

"I would like to use my story 

to help other people change their 

lives," she said. "I want to show 

them that it is never too late to 

change."

Canyon City Book Club will

at 6:30 p.m. at the Azusa City Library 

729 N Dalton Ave. The 

book for discussion is Hotel Paradise 

by Martha Grimes. A neglected 

lake, covered with water 

lilies. A once fashionable, now 

faded resort. A derelict housefull 

of secrets, uninhabitable for almost 

half a century. The death 

of a twelve-year-old girl forty 

years in the past. And another girl 

who becomes obsessed with this 

death. With her knack for encouraging 

adults to reminisce, 

she begins to piece together 

puzzles from the past and 

present. Hotel Paradise is a delicate, 

yet disturbing view of the 

decisions a young girl must 

make on her way to becoming 

an adult...and the choices she 

must make between right and 

wrong, love and truth, life and 

death. This book is available to 

check out or to purchase. For 

more information, please call

Covina Resident, Mother of 

Three, Receives Citrus College 

Foundation Scholarship 

by Stacy Quillen Armstrong 

Deborah Chavira has found 

her voice. 

The 39-year-old mother of 

three says that enrolling in 

courses at Citrus College has 

helped her regain the sense of 

self-worth she once lost. 

"In a previous relationship, I 

was the victim of physical and 

emotional abuse. After being repeatedly 

told that you are nothing 

and that your voice doesn't 

matter, it becomes reality for 

you," she said. "Going to school 

and finally doing something for 

myself has helped me break this 

thought process. It is a slow 

change, but being patient is the 

key." 

Chavira was recently awarded 

the $500 Watson Family Scholarship 

from the Citrus College 

Foundation. The Covina resident 

says that this has also helped facilitate 

her healing process. 

"People should consider donating 

to scholarship funds because 

it helps others who really 

need that extra push to get them 

motivated," she said. "It also 

provides the recipient with a 

sense of accomplishment, which 

may be lacking in their lives." 

"Receiving this scholarship

is simply this - we don't just want 

to help you, we want to help you 

help yourself. We want you to 

be independent (after all, isn't 

that the backbone of the American 

dream?)! 

Now to Iraq. One of the most 

idiotic suggestions I have seen 

was made by our good friend, 

Noam Chomsky - one shared by 

many in the academic airhead 

community. What might that be? 

Get out of Iraq, and turn the 

whole thing over to the United 

Nations. Now why, given the 

U.N.'s track record, would anyone 

in his right mind turn to the 

U.N for a matter of this magnitude? 

Could it be for their track 

record of competence and effi- 

Financial

to help them avoid such behavior. 

What types of health coverage 

are there? 

There's basic, major medical, 

comprehensive medical, and 

Medicare. Each one differs in 

what it covers. Some should be 

covered by supplemental policies; 

critical illness, or accident 

insurance, for example. There's 

has meant a lot to me," Chavira 

added. "My sons and my family 

in Alabama and Maryland were 

all so proud of me. It helped me 

to see that my effort is not going 

unnoticed." 

Chavira feels that she is deserving 

of the scholarship. 

"I feel that I have worked 

hard to receive exemplary 

grades, especially in light of the 

fact that I am a single mom of 

three boys ages 7, 4, and 3," she 

said. "The money from the 

scholarship will help me reach 

my goals by enabling me to purchase 

the tools necessary for the 

semester." 

Chavira first began attending 

Citrus College in 2006. 

"I was a homemaker for eight 

and a half years and, until my 

divorce, I only played with the 

idea of going to school," she said. 

"I enrolled during the summer of 

last year and I loved it. That's 

why I am still here. I have found 

my voice in society." 

Although she originally enrolled 

at Citrus because of its location 

and good reputation, 

Chavira says she stayed because 

of the people. 

"The staff members are great, 

the students are nice, and the 

ciency? Like say in the case of 

Rwanda (where 800,000 Tutsis 

were slaughtered by their neighbors, 

the Hutus while Kofi Annan 

and the U.N. did absolutely nothing)? 

Or how about Bosnia and 

Kosovo, where genocide was 

under way and the U.N. did 

nothing? Or how about Darfur, 

where genocide is still under 

way, and the U.N. does nothing? 

Or perhaps Iraq itself, where the 

U.N. issued 17 resolutions warning 

Sadam that he would get a 

"time out" if he did not behave 

himself? Maybe that's it; all that 

was needed was another 16 or 

17 resolutions. 

Well, if not about their competency, 

how about their integrity? 

After all, that little thing 

about food-for-oil was just a 

small thing (and the reason perhaps 

why nothing happened after 

17 resolutions and would not 

have happened with 1700 more). 

Maybe it's the U.N.s moral stan- 

insurance, and there's medical 

plans (not necessarily insurance). 

Although many people 

take the necessary steps to ensure 

good health, it's easy to take 

your health for granted. However, 

there's always the possibility 

of having to endure a lifelong 

illness or the loss of normal body 

functions. Health problems can 

often mean high medical costs. 

Long-term care insurance and 

Critical Illness insurance are 

growing in popularity as more 

and more people survive their illness, 

but are not capable of maintaining 

employment or are not 

faculty will give you the support 

you need to reach your goals," 

she said. 

An administration of justice 

major, Chavira is planning on 

graduating at the end of the 

spring 2008 semester and hopes 

to become a parole or probation 

officer in the future. 

"I want to share with others 

that hard work, determination, 

and a lot of patience can eventually 

pay off," she said. "Even 

though we may hit a bump in the 

road, it doesn't mean that its time 

to quit. Sometimes the bump in 

the road is just there to wake us 

up!" 

During her time at Citrus College, 

Chavira says that the greatest 

lesson she has learned is that 

it is important to have a support 

system in place. 

"I have found that we all wear 

different hats such as being a 

mother, a full-time student, or a 

part-time student and we all have 

things in our lives that could easily 

make us give up on our 

dreams," she said. "Support 

from others and the faith of those 

who love us makes all the difference. 

Without it, success 

wouldn't be as sweet." 

dards that commend them in the 

case of an Iraqi solution. How 

about the sexual exploits of their 

emissaries in at least 3 or 4 countries? 

No, my friends, the U.N.

types of people can be counted 

on to expect that it would: A

a humanities professor (and, as 

I'm sure you have already observed, 

these categories are not 

mutually exclusive). 

As far as the "serge" is concerned, 

we may need more 

troops; we certainly need a different 

approach - the rules of 

engagement must be changed to 

allow our troops to fight a war, 

not a policing action. Otherwise,

WEST COVINA — Graffiti 

is a growing problem in most 

communities. Many longtime 

residents blame other cultures 

that are moving in to their neighborhoods 

for the growing problems. 

People point fingers at 

these people for this costly vandalism 

that has become an epidemic 

in many places. 

Police agencies throughout the 

San Gabriel Valley have been aggressively 

pursuing these vandals 

and have been making a 

number of arrests. There have 

been a number of these “taggers” 

who have been gunned down and 

killed in which the police agencies 

feel that other gang members 

are responsible for these 

senseless murders. However, 

there are some who feel that large 

groups of vigilantes may be going 

around looking for these vandals 

and may be responsible for 

a few of the shootings. It is a 

known fact that taggers have 

been killed by property owners 

who are trying to protect their 

property from these vandals 

People are tired of the damage 

that is done to their private 

property and can’t afford to pay 

to have it repainted all the time. 

There is speculation that this 

could be possible that these 

people may be taking the law into 

their own hands. Law enforcement 

would advise against this 

type of tactics as could result in 

confrontations and/or arrests 

with jail time for these citizens. 

Graffiti runs down communities 

and property values. The 

enormous expense to clean up 

and remove this stuff is in the 

hundreds of thousands per year 

for many small cities. 

There are a couple of compa-

nies that provide cleanup services 

in the area. Urban Graffiti 

Enterprise and the Boys and Girls 

Club have been operating in the 

area for some time. Their services 

can be costly. 

One year, Baldwin Park, 

which is a smaller city then West 

Covina, budgeted their expenditure 

to cleanup and removal of 

graffiti to the tune of 

$348,528.00! 

This does not include extra 

police patrols, police reports and 

arrests costs. 

Many people feel that there is 

room for heavier fines and jail 

time for these taggers. They feel 

that these vandals should pay for 

their crimes with fines and jail 

time. As for the juveniles who 

are caught, their parents should 

be held responsible. As one person 

commented at a city meeting, 

“they raise them to be criminal 

and let them loose on society; 

then they should pay for 

what they did by letting the kids 

paint on the walls and mess up 

the areas”. 

Citizens want the cities to incorporate 

ordinances with bigger 

fines to help pay these huge 

losses. 

Cleanup companies are not 

contracted to do private property 

and it is up to the owners of the 

property clean it up themselves. 

Some of these owner can’t afford 

this. The taggers paint on 

everything from walls and buildings 

to sidewalks and vehicles. 

The cost of graffiti and the removal 

is staggering. Here is

available last year. PLEASE

Dismissed Lawsuit Is Perfect 

Example Of Why Our Legal System 

Needs An Extreme Makeover 

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles 

Citizens Against Lawsuit 

Abuse has announced its "Loony 

Lawsuit" for March. This 

month's frivolity proves the old 

saying that no good deed goes 

unpunished. 

A Los Angeles judge recently 

dismissed claims filed against the 

popular ABC television series 

"Extreme Makeover: Home Addition," 

which claimed the show 

"went back on its promises." 

It began in Santa Fe Springs, 

a small city southeast of Los Angeles. 

News of the five Higgins 

siblings, who had been orphaned, 

and the Leomitis family who took 

them in and helped them, reached 

the producers of the hit show. 

The show, working with 

Pardee Homes, demolished the 

Leomitis' existing home and replaced 

it with a nine-bedroom 

mansion. 

Producers of the show also 

arranged for the siblings to receive 

cars, groceries, computers, 

stereos and other gifts. 

Pardee Homes paid off the mortgage 

on the new home. 

In return, both of the companies, 

along with the Leomitis 

family, were sued by the Higgins 

siblings. 

It appears that around the time 

the show was first aired in 

March, 2005, the Higgins siblings 

began to move out. They 

claim this was an orchestrated 

plot by the Leomitis that was 

enacted by treating the siblings 

poorly and insulting them. They 

also claim that the couple also 

took donations meant for them. 

As for the fault of ABC and 

Pardee Homes? The Higgins siblings 

claim that they were falsely 

promised a home. Their attorney, 

Patrick Mesisca, acknowledged 

that nowhere in the contract did 

ABC or Pardee Homes actually 

promise a home, but countered 

that the show's actions could legally 

constitute a promise. 

The judge ruled that ABC's 

contract was with the couple, 

not the siblings. 

"It is refreshing to see one of 

these ridiculous lawsuits thrown 

out," said Peter Bylsma, executive 

director of Los Angeles 

CALA. "Even scarier than how 

many of these types of lawsuits 

are filed is how many of them 

actually win. Every time one of 

these lawsuits is given credibility 

in the courtroom, all Californians 

lose." 

Citizens Against Lawsuit 

Abuse is a nonprofit, grassroots 

public education organization 

dedicated to serving as a watchdog 

over the legal system and 

those who would seek to abuse it 

for undeserved gain. For more

Los Angeles Co. $2,000,000 

City of LA $7,000,000 

These are only a few cities. 

This is the “people’s money” and 

it is being spent to remedy this 

problem per year. 

Some feel this is nothing more 

then terrorist acts against the 

community. 

The people want more arrests. 

This is to include the parents of 

the juveniles who are responsible 

for tagging as well. They want 

cars impounded that were used 

by those who do the tagging and 

to file for restitution from those 

responsible. 

On top of that, there is a call 

to place a lien on the property 

of the parents of the juveniles 

who are responsible for these 

acts of vandalism. Have the 

courts force the sale of these 

properties and have the proceeds 

turned over to the cities to help 

pay for the cleanup.

Radio 

Route 66 Radio 

Theatre 


As with every Ellery Queen 

show (my favorite), the Route 

66 Radio Theatre's version offered 

the audience a chance to 

solve the mystery. "The Adventure 

of the Murdered Ship" was 

a story of espionage during the 

early days of World War II. Ed 

Thomas, so skillful and versatile 

a performer, "became" Ellery 

Queen. 

His professionalism brought 

the character to life. Queen's 

regular cast of side kicks include 

Nikki Porter, his father Inspector 

Queen and the ever steady 

Sergeant Vilie, portrayed by the 

enchanting Cheri Themer, the 

skillful Russ Bundy and the intrepid 

Robert Portella. Talented 

and accomplished, Patricia 

Rambo would definitely have 

been mistaken for two different 

characters if this truly had been 

radio. Jonathan Kelley played live 

music, adding to the over-all effectiveness 

and delightfulness of 

the show. 

It was a complicated mystery, 

but solvable and had the audience 

groaning with comprehen- 

sion once the mystery was 

solved by Ellery Queen. They 

even had the "Educated Bromo 

Seltzer Train" effect from the 

original show. A great deal of attention 

was paid to detail by everyone 

involved with the Route 

66 Radio Theatre group, showing 

respect for these wonderful 

old shows. 

Kudos go to Deborah Gould 

and Larry Harris for bringing 

Route 66 Radio Theatre into 

Glendora and especially to the 

Village Book Shop to offer 

evening entertainment. Gould 

and fellow downtown shop 

owner Carol Gill held a drawing, 

reminiscent of the old days at the 

movie house when management 

raffled off various items to the 

audience. I understand that a few 

people had to be turned away due 

to limited seating on Friday night 

and Village Book Shop was 

packed on Saturday night. It was 

a wonderful evening of nostalgia. 

"We have more to offer," 

Gould said. "The next show 

Route 66 Radio Theater is going 

to do here is the delightful and

NEWS 

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Inter 

Valley Health Plan is one of 22 

Medicare Advantage plans nationally 

to be recognized for the design 

of its Part D drug benefits. 

The Service to Seniors plan available 

in Riverside and San Bernardino 

counties was recognized in 

the 2007 COSTSHARE REPORT 

findings released by HealthMetrix 

Research Inc., a national independent 

managed care research 

firm, and the MedicareNews- 

Watch.com website. The findings 

were based on estimated 

2007 cost-sharing from over 

200 Medicare Advantage plans 

offering $0 premium and $0 deductible 

drug coverage benefits 

in over 80 markets. 

According to HealthMetrix 

Research and MedicareNews- 

Watch.com president Alan 



Inter Valley Health Plan Named Among 

Best Medicare Part D Benefit Values 

What began as a fundraising 

event for the Glendora Public Library 

fifteen years ago is now a 

community-loved tradition that 

promotes friendly competition to 

support the library. The Great 

Trivia Challenge 15 will take 

place Friday evening, March 23 

at 6:30 pm at Azusa Pacific University. 

The Great Trivia Challenge 

is an exciting event in 

which teams sponsored by local 

businesses and service organizations 

compete against each other 

by answering a series of increasingly 

difficult trivia questions. 

Mittermaier: 

"Inter Valley Health Plan has 

demonstrated a commitment to 

delivering maximum value in the 

design of their Part D drug benefits. 

The $0 premium along 

with $0 annual deductible minimizes 

out-of-pocket drug costs 

for members enrolled in this plan 

regardless of their health status. 

What separates this drug benefit 

from other plans is the extended 

coverage available throughout the 

'gap' or 'donut hole' when seniors 

would otherwise have no drug 

coverage until reaching $3,850 

in out-of-pocket costs. By doing 

so, this plan eliminates much 

of the confusion factor associated 

with other Part D drug 

plans." 

The COSTSHARE REPORT 

estimates annual out-of-pocket 

costs for Medicare Advantage 

plan members based on health 

status (healthy/episodic/chronic) 

and corresponding utilization of 

the most common plan benefits 

(physician office visits, emergency 

or urgent care, hospital 

care, prevention care, prescriptions). 

Each Medicare plan's 

approved 2007 member 

copayments, deductibles and premiums 

appear in the Medicare 

Options Compare database 

(www.medicare.gov).

Antonovich Seeks Mandatory 

Hepatitis A Vaccinations 

For Food 

Service Workers 

LOS ANGELES COUNTY — In response 

to recent Hepatitis A health scares, 

Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael 

D. Antonovich is asking the County Public 

Health Department to investigate the 

feasibility of mandatory Hepatitis A vaccinations 

for food service workers. 

"Without proper health safety measures, 

consumers can be exposed to this potentially 

deadly food-borne virus at restaurants, 

parties and other events serviced 

by catering companies," said Antonovich, 

who initiated the county grading system 

for restaurants. "By the time this disease 

is diagnosed, thousands may become infected 

with the Hepatitis A virus." 

The Supervisor's motion on Tuesday 

March 6th, 2007 will direct the Director 

of Public Health to report back to the 

Board in 30 days with an analysis, including 

cost-benefit calculations concerning 

whether Hepatitis A vaccinations can be 

required for food service workers in restaurants, 

catering companies, and in 

wholesale markets.

I'm sorry the citizens of Glendora have 

failed to see or let it be known (by not 

voting) that council members Tessitor, 

Clifford, and Herman special interests will 

almost always come before whats best 

for all of Glendora. I'm sorry the accusations 

and lies told by the Tessitor group 

during the recall of 2001 are still blinding 

most Glendoran's. 

I'm not a business owner, or a property 

owner, I'm just a resident, a renter. I 

follow politics but usually don't get too 

involved until I feel or see an injustice being 

done that effects me and my vote! as well 

as the votes of others. In this case it goes 

back to the recall.

Letters to the Editor 

Glendorans Fooled Again! 

vote for Sonny Marshall back in 2001. I 

believed as did most Glendoran's it was 

time for a change. Mr. Marshall's win gave 

the Harrold council a slim 3/2 majority. All 

the Harrold council was trying to do, is 

what they had promised, AN OPEN AND 

HONEST CITY GOVERNMENT, with no 

hidden agendas. Then comes the recall 

with all its lies, slander, and deception 

against John Harrold, Sonny Marshall, and 

Dr. Jacobs. 

I believe the Harrold council should 

have been allowed to sink or swim on their 

plans for the city. In politics the easiest 

way to defeat someone is to let them to 

fail. If the Harrold council's plans for the 

city were so bad, they would have sunk 

like the Titanic and lost in the next general 

election. The problem was the Harrold 

council laid their agenda on the table, like 

they had promised, which allowed their 

opponents, The Tessitor Group, which 

included Bob Kuhn and Rick Davis, to 

see their plans. 

The recall wasn't about how Harrold's 

council might hurt the city beyond repair, 

as the Tessitor group lied and deceived 

the citizens of Glendora into believing! The 

true reason for the recall was the FEAR 

the Tessitor group had of all the good 

and positive things the Harrold council 

planned on doing! Many of which 

the previous council had failed to do for 

the city. The Tessitor group knew if the 

Harrold council accomplished just part of 

these positive goals for the city, that they, 

Just a year ago, on the Channel 4 news 

with Brian Williams reporting, we were 

told "The standard of care at VA medical 

facilities has changed dramatically. 

The best care in the nation today is given 

at these facilities. Health care in America 

is not the best, but the bright spot is the 

government VA which serves 800,000 

veterans and employs 200,000. Patients 

are treated with respect and the electronic 

system provides records whenever the 

patient's information is available. GOOD 

NEWS for our veterans." 

Now we are hearing of the deplorable 

conditions at Walter Reed Hospital in 

Washington, D.C., a medical facility one 

would expect to be a "top" hospital treating 

not only our wounded veterans, but 

also the President and Vice President of 

the United States and other representatives 

of our government. 

Although under the direction of the 

Department of Defense, it is also suggested 

that the problems are spreading to

defeat the Harrold council in the next general 

election! And possibly many elections

I don't know John Harrold personally, 

I've seen him at Grand Burger and around

NEWS 


Solving the Daily Dinner Dilemma 

Huntington Oaks Dream Dinners Serves Up Fun, Convenience 

MONROVIA — “What’s for 

dinner?” A rumbling stomach 

sounds the same alarm every afternoon. 

Jen and Gary Walker 

have discovered a creative way 

to satiate those rumblings. It’s 

called Dream Dinners, the originator 

of the innovative concept 

in meal preparation that eliminates 

the drudgery of daily menu 

planning, shopping, prep-work 

and clean-up by moving the dinner 

assembly process out of 

home kitchens and into specially 

equipped retail outlets. 

Compelled to share this solution 

and looking for a lifestyle 

change, Jen and Gary decided to 

open their own Dream Dinners 

store in the Huntington Oaks 

shopping center in the foothill 

community of Monrovia. The 

grand opening was on March 

8th and included meal assembly 

demonstrations, food samples, a 

raffle for a freezer, and live music. 

The Monrovia Chamber of 

Commerce is also performing a 

ribbon-cutting ceremony. 

After learning about Dream 

Dinners from another store 

owner, Jen and Gary traveled to 

Pasadena to give meal assembly 

a try. “It was easy to do and the 

environment was really fun,” 

says Jen. 

“We liked it so much we decided 

to purchase a franchise.” 

Gary adds that “Dream Dinners 

really complements our lifestyle 

and the ministry we do with 

families in our community. Helping 

to bring families around the 

dinner table and helping to support 

causes in the community are 

two things that Jen and I are really 

excited about.” 

Here is how Dream Dinners 

works. Customers preview a 

monthly menu online at 

dreamdinners.com and select 

items from a menu featuring 14 

dinners such as Herb-Crusted 

Flank Steak, Four-Cheese and 

Meatball Calzones and Citrus 

Ginger Salmon. Then they register 

to attend a meal assembly 

session at a Dream Dinners retail 

location. At the store, customers 

rotate among refrigerated 

recipe stations, scooping freshly 

cut and prepped uncooked ingredients 

into the provided baking 

pans or zip-top freezer bags. 

They take the uncooked dinners 

home and place them in the 

freezer. 

The whole process takes two 

hours and averages $235 for 12, 

6-serving dinners (nationwide, 

depending on location), or 

around $3.25 per serving. The 

result: healthy, homemade dinners 

that anyone can quickly remove 

from the freezer, thaw, and 

pop into the oven. All you need 

to do is prepare a side dish such 

as a salad, veggies or fruit. 

“Everyone has good intentions 

when it comes to thinking about 

cooking healthy and interesting 

dinners at home,” says Jen. “I 

used to make the same things, 

hardly ever trying new recipes, 

which got old after a while. 

Dream Dinners takes the guesswork 

out of fixing great meals 

for your family and company 

too!” 

Dream Dinners works for 

singles, couples and small families 

too. Guests can customize 

their order depending on the size 

and appetite of their household. 

The food isn’t casserole-heavy 

or T.V. dinner flat either. Each 

month’s menu offers at least one 

meatless dish, a variety of lowcarb 

options, and the occasional 

brunch item or dessert. Dream 

Dinners is what you might call 

“everyday gourmet” – high-quality 

food that’s ideal for weeknight 

meals, camping trips, or entertaining. 

“Dream Dinners frees up 

time that women and men can 

use to enjoy other interests and 

spend more time with family and 

friends,” says Gary. “The concept 

actually saves money and 

is healthier than the fast food that 

often appears when dinner is 

rushed.” 

Over two-thirds of Dream 

Dinners’ menus regularly fall 

within its “Light and Lean” category, 

which means the items 

average 286 calories, 10 grams 

of fat and 65 mg of cholesterol, 

significantly lower in calories, fat 

and cholesterol than items publicized 

by its major competitors, 

or what you can pick up at fastfood 

restaurants or other establishments 

with food-to-go. 

Within a couple of hours, busy 

Monrovians can prepare an entire 

month of meals all at once. 

“Plus you’ll have a lot of fun 

meeting new people or catching 

up with friends while you create 

high-quality dinners in our inviting, 

low-stress atmosphere,” 

says Jen. 

Dream Dinners is not just 

about getting dinner on the table 

quickly; it’s also about building 

family and community bonds. 

Jen and Gary are confident that 

their Dream Dinners store will 

develop into an integral part of 

the community. “In addition to 

wowing our guests with excellent 

customer service and value, 

we look forward to supporting 

family-oriented organizations 

through fundraising and providing 

food for charitable causes,” 

says Jen. 

Sheriff Lee Baca, City Attorney 

Announce Program To Extend Jail 

Time Of Gang Members Convicted 

Of Gang Injunction Violations 

Gang Convicts Will Not Be Eligible For Early Release & WIll Serve Full Jail Sentence 

MONTEREY PARK — Los 

Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca 

and City Attorney Rocky 

Delgadillo have announced that 

the two agencies will cooperate 

in a partnership program to ensure 

that gang members jailed for 

gang injunction violations serve 

their full sentences. 

Previously, due to jail overcrowding, 

many inmates were 

released under an early release 

program. 

This program is part of a renewed 

effort by local law enforcement 

officials to implement 

new and aggressive anti-gang 

strategies. 

Gang member prosecuted by 

the City Attorney for gang injunc- 

tion violations will be flagged by 

the Los Angeles Superior Court 

upon conviction and the Sheriff's 

Department will be informed that 

they are not eligible for the early 

release program. 

Said Baca, "While crime overall 

in the County is down, gang 

violence over the last year has 

increased. 

I am committed to working 

with City Attorney Rocky 

Delgadillo and my other colleagues 

in law enforcement, to 

keep these gang thugs off our 

streets to the fullest extent possible." 

"Our partnership with the Los 

Angeles County Sheriff's Department 

and the Los Angeles 

Police Department, under the direction 

of the Mayor, has yielded 

an important tool to ensure that 

those who threaten our communities 

will be in jail cells and not 

the streets," said Delgadillo. 

"Working together, we can and 

will bring our neighborhoods 

close to that ideal of safety and 

security." 

The "100 Percent" program is 

a key component of a Comprehensive 

Anti-Gang Plan 

Delgadillo released in January. 

It works in concert with other 

suppression and prevention components 

of the plan by helping 

create opportunities for alternatives 

to the gang life to thrive in 

affected areas. 


A New Twist On Teacher/ 

Parent Conferences 

Students Lead The Conversation At Rincon Intermediate 

WEST COVINA — It's that 

time of year again, when 

schools' invite parents to attend 

teacher conferences. But at 

Rincon Intermediate School in 

Rowland Unified, they have 

taken a new twist to a classic 

event: STUDENTS present their 

grades and lead the discussion 

about the homework they did - 

and did not - accomplish to parents, 

while teachers look on. 

The Student Led Parent Conferences 

that take place next 

week on February 15 have been 

a huge hit with parents and teachers. 

"I love that this opens up the 

forum for parents to truly discuss 

school work with their kids 

- this often never happens on a 

day-to-day basis," says Rincon 

Principal Debi Klotz. 

Students prepare portfolios 

which feature their assignments, 

test grades and projects to date. 

They also write a formal letter 

WALNUT — The Board of 

Education of the Rowland Unified 

School District approved the 

decision to reconfigure Ybarra 

Elementary to become the 

District's first K-8 school, focused 

on the Visual and Performing 

Arts. Starting this August, the 

school will begin with the addition 

of two 7th grade classes. 

The school will expand 8th grade 

classes in 2008-09. Applications 

were distributed today to all 

Rowland Unified 6th grade students 

and the application deadline 

is March 5. First priority will 

be given to Ybarra students. 

"We are excited to offer this 

unique new choice to parents in 

Rowland Unified," said Deputy 

Superintendent of Elementary 

Schools Sue Brewer. "We are 

committed to offering rigorous 

curriculum in a smaller learning 

community. Students will have 

a more personal experience with 

their teachers in a family-oriented 

environment." 

The recommendation came 

from strong parent and community 

support and an intensive 

year-long study and evaluation 

made by the District's "Task 

Force on Declining Enrollment." 

Task Force members conducted 

tours of K-8 schools in surround- 

of invitation to their parents asking 

them to attend the event and 

to schedule an appointment. The 

day of the event, students introduce 

their teachers to their parents 

and then walk through their 

portfolios. "It really is a fantastic 

event to watch, some conferences 

take two minutes, while 

others can last two hours," said 

Klotz. 

This is not the only unique 

program at Rincon Intermediate, 

also known for their innovative 

"Academy of International Studies," 

which provides 7th and 8th 

graders an international, thematic 

approach to learning across eight 

disciplines. Students also gain 

community awareness experiences 

and rigorous curriculum 

which guarantees them placement 

in the pre-International Baccalaureate 

programs at both 

Rowland Unified High Schools: 

Nogales and Rowland High. 

Rowland Unified Board 

Approves First K-8 School 

Ybarra Elementary in Walnut Begins Phase-In This 

August 

The City Attorney and the 

Sheriff have already started 

implementation of the plan with 

several gang members convicted 

on injunction violations now 

serving their full jail sentences. 

Among those being held under 

the program is a Canoga Park 

Alabama gang member, three 

ing districts. In addition, seven 

parent meetings were held and 

all 5th and 6th grade parents were 

surveyed district-wide. 

In addition to a focus on reading, 

writing, mathematics (including 

Algebra 1 and Geometry) 

and science, Ybarra 7th grade 

students will be offered advanced 

classes in technology and visual 

and performing arts, along with 

a host of extra-curricular activities 

and after-school programs. 

Honors classes will also be offered 

in the core areas. Students 

will be housed in a separate part 

of the campus and they will have 

their own lockers, bathrooms, 

lunch period and playing fields. 

"We want to offer students as 

many electives as possible," said 

Ybarra Principal Annette Lopez. 

"However, we will be different 

than a traditional middle school 

and have our own strengths." 

Due to parent interest, the 

Board of Education also asked the 

District to proceed with a feasibility 

study of reconfiguring 

Oswalt Elementary into a K-8 

school for possibly 2008-09. 

For further information on 

Ybarra, located at 1300 Brea
