The Temple City Pub-lic Arts Advisory Group is looking for residents who are interested in contribut-ing ideas to the citys new focus on public art.

The upcoming Rose-mead Blvd. Enhancement Project includes many op-portunities for public art, starting first with corridor light pole banners and in-spirational quotes that will be incorporated in various areas like sidewalks, plant-ers and seating nodes.

Tasked by the City Council to shape the future of Temple Citys public art program, the advisory group is looking for input on what the banners could look like and what the quotes would say.

You do not need to be an artist, just be inter-ested and excited about enhancing the look of the city through public art, said group member Kathy Keelin. We hope to bring a unified image of Temple

City by having as wide participation as possible throughout the process.

Input meetings will be held February 8 and 15, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., in the City Hall Community Room, 9701 Las Tunas Dr.

Those unable to attend the meetings can submit their comments and ideas via email, templecitypubli-cart@gmail.com.

For more information, call City Hall at (626) 285-2171.

The California Pub-lic Utilities Commissions (CPUC) Consumer Pro-

efforts, and communica-tion with the general public and governmental agencies during a recent windstorm in Southern California Edi-

has determined that SCE and Communication Infra-structure Providers, who

jointly own poles in SCEs service territory, violated General Order (GO) 95

The spring musical Oklahoma is probably the last performance to take place in the little theatre. The construction of the new theatre is on schedule and baring unforeseen cir-cumstances should be open in time for the Fall Theatre Production.

In order to expand from 250 seats a night to 1200 seats a night it takes planning well in advance as well as forming partner-ships. For example, Rose Hills formed a partnership with the Theatre Depart-ment and enabled the very first banner across Duarte Street last November.

In addition they are printing posters for the com-munity as well as providing water for the cast and audi-ence and also purchasing group tickets for their em-ployees to enjoy the show.

Rose Hills is the The-atres first partner and the relationship is growing. Discussions of a street fes-tival are now starting and that would probably take place in the Fall.

Dennys is the the-atres second partner. They are selling tickets for OKLAHOMA 24 hours a day every day until the tick-ets are sold out. A unique feature of the tickets is that each ticket stub is worth $5 on any order of $15 or more at Dennys. That means that a student or se-nior citizen could purchase a $10 ticket for the show and then save half the cost of the ticket by using the stub for a meal at Dennys. Dennys is also putting up posters and handing out postcards to promote the play to their customers!

Dalvina Cookies has made it possible for fly-ers to be passed out at all the senior centers and all senior living facilities in Ar-cadia, Pasadena, Monrovia, Duarte and Bradbury. In addition Dalvina has made it possible for posters to be posted at many local busi-ness establishments as was done for the last produc-tion however this spring the list of participating busi-nesses is more than double the number we had in the Fall. Some of the business participating are Ralphs, Albertsons, Fresh and Easy, Faschings Car Wash and as well as others.

from several options in a list presented by City Staff to the council members.

The project would trans-late into 70 to 90 temporary jobs during its construction, and eventually into 85 to 120 permanent jobs (up to 75 at In-N-Out and up to 45 at the adjacent restaurant).

The City Council was to approve the start of many processes that must be done before this project can become a reality. This includes entering into agree-

ments of various types with Scott Gunderson and GSL Development LLC (which are currently involved with the property), and with In-N-Out. It also includes the gath-ering of an oversight commit-tee which will be in place by May 1 of this year.

Bring it on, said May-or Andre Quintero, approv-ing, along with the rest of the council members present, the start of the necessary pro-cedures.

Sister Helen Prejean Visits SGMHS

San Gabriel High Class of 71 Donates Gift to Mission HS

Catholic Schools Week at San Gabriel Mission High School began with a Catho-lic Identity Assembly and the dynamic guest speaker,

Sister Helen Prejean. She is the author of Dead Man Walking, her most talked about book that was made into a play, an opera, and a

major motion picture star-ring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn.

As part of a service project at SGMHS, the en-tire student body including Religion and English teach-ers had read Sister Prejeans book. Students were able to discuss the death penalty and write essays about the book.

The faculty and staff were able to speak with Sis-ter Helen before her speech. Once she heard that the Journalism Club was meet-ing during lunchtime, she so kindly asked to attend their meeting and speak to them as well. The students were grateful and listened intently as Sister Helen offered them some great writing tips for the schools newspaper.

During the assembly not a sound was heard but

Sister Helens voice. The entire student body and guests listened attentively as she spoke of her experiences with death-row inmates, their families and the victims families. The most astound-ing fact to learn was that the majority of convicted death-row inmates are innocent. As she spoke, Sister Helens faith and compassion for mankind was not only inspi-rational but very moving.

When sister finished her presentation, she answered questions from the audi-ence. After the assembly she signed books and auto-graphs.

Sister Helen Prejean definitely made a lasting im-pression on the students, fac-ulty and staff of San Gabriel Mission High School. What a memorable day!

Forty years after the Class of 1971 graduated from San Gabriel Mission HS it was time a class reunion (Oc-tober 15th), which was held at the school. The school for the past 40 years since the school has been an all-girls Catholic high school. Prior to their se-nior class year the school had been co-ed with boys & girls wings This was the final class

of boys to attend and gradu-ate from the longtime institu-tion.

This final co-ed class only consisted of 132 students graduating on the stage of nearby San Gabriel Civic Auditorium. The last gath-ering of members from this class was 20 years ago. So, no one was to sure about how to reach classmates that hadn't

been in touch (in most cases) for about 20 years or more!! In stepped up the "informa-tion super highway", which didn't exist 40 years ago. With a Facebook page under the title SGMHS Class of 1971, there were quickly over 40 class members in touch with one another! Those led to many others from the group with finally contacts added up

to over 100 class members. From those 100+ class of

1971 members, almost 70 at-tended the weekend events. The school was presented with a banner that has the school crest on it stating "Wel-come Alumni" and a check for the school's general fund for $1,000. All in celebration of the memories from over 40 years ago!

El Monte Halfway House

The City of Duarte is in the process of preparing an Energy Efficiency Plan to determine the Citys ex-isting and future energy use and to set the Citys future energy reduction goals.

The Energy Efficiency Plan for the City of Duarte is part of a unified regional framework for meeting

long-term energy efficiency goals. Funding for the proj-ect was awarded through the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SVGCOG) with a grant from Southern California Edison to implement ac-tivities to achieve statewide energy efficiency goals. Twenty-seven of the thirty-

one San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments member agencies are cur-rently participating in the project. This framework will allow the Energy Ef-ficiency Plan developed for each city to function as a stand-alone document tailored to individual com-munities. The anticipated

completion of the project is October 2012.

To date the projects consultant has held five stakeholder interviews, pre-pared a work plan for the project, and has prepared the online survey for the community to provide in-put into each Citys proj-ect planning process. The

survey questionnaire is available in English and in Spanish. To access the sur-vey in English go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SGVCOG_EnergySur -vey_1. The Spanish lan-guage version is available at http://www.surveymon-key.com/s/Spa-Ext.

For more information

about Duartes Energy Ef-ficiency Project contact the Community Development Department at (626) 357-7931, ext. 238. A fact sheet in English and in Spanish is available at City Hall and can also be viewed under the Latest News link on the Citys website, www.ac-cessduarte.com.

members approved GEO/Cornells request to increase the resident capacity of its re-habilitation center located at 11750 Ramona Blvd. Coun-cilwoman Macias was absent.

Adding on to the con-ditions of approval that had been agreed upon the week before, council requested that GEO/Cornell make the increases in phases, adding up to nine residents during the first six months, and the last six residents (of fifteen approved) during the sub-sequent months. Another condition was that the citys Planning Commission be al-lowed to review compliance after six months and after twelve months to insure that no negative impacts result

from the resident increases. GEO/Cornell also agreed that additional conditions may be imposed upon it if a major criminal incident is caused by a facility resident or by its staff.

We have tried to in-corporate and express the concerns of the residents into these conditions, said Mayor Andre Quintero. He encouraged the residents to send any future complaints to Congresswoman Judy Chu, because this is a federal facil-ity, he said. I dont believe we have an argument against this matter and for that reason I am supporting the approval of this resolution, he added, opening the door for the rest of the council members to vote.

It is disappointing to hear the community beg-ging, asserted Councilman Bart Patel, for a case that was weak to begin with. We have already spent about $45,000 already in this case. It is hard to continue in a path without seeing at the end the desired results.

The 51 conditions add-ed show the due diligence of this council in trying to protect the citys residents, said Councilwoman Victoria Martinez. The City Council heard you loud and clear. We have exercised our abil-ity researching what could be done. This council listened to every word you said, added Councilman J. Gomez, in front of about 25 residents who were mostly disappoint-

ed by the ruling. The GEO/Cornell repre-

sentatives present did not say a word as the council voted unanimously to approve the request and stood up and left City quarters just as the meet-ing moved to the next point in the agenda.

The approval allows GEO/Cornell to increase the number of residents who live in its premises to 76. These are individuals serving the last six months or less of their sentences as they begin to reincorporate into society. The El Monte residents and City Council discussed and denied the request for close to two years, until they were faced with a writ of mandate filed at the Los Angeles Supe-rior Court by GEO/Cornell.

safety factor requirements. At least 20 poles and 17 guy wires did not meet the safety factor requirements codified in GO 95, Rule 44.1. CPSD also found that SCE violated GO 95, Rules 17 and 19, for failing to ad-equately investigate the out-ages and pole failures and for failing to preserve the evidence.

CPSD found that SCEs restoration time was not adequate. In addition, information in SCEs emer-gency procedures were not updated and SCE person-nel did not follow the train-ing schedule outlined in its Local Public Affairs Plan. SCE also did not ask for mutual assistance from oth-er utilities. Such assistance would have reduced resto-ration time.

CPSD continues to receive additional informa-

tion from SCE, so this re-port should be considered preliminary because infor-mation is still being gath-ered and analyzed.

The windstorm out-ages report by CPSD may lead to a penalty consid-eration case. The report, by the safety staff, is still preliminary. Once the re-port is final the CPUC will determine the next step, which typically would be a penalty consideration case where fines can be calcu-lated up to $50,000 per day per violation.

PUC President Michael R. Peevey used the word botched to describe how SCEdison handled the situ-ation. Preliminary investi-gations by the regulatory agency PUC found that at least 20 power poles that fell as a result of the wind-storm did NOT meet basic

safety standards.The windstorm affect-

ed nearly 440,000 Edison customers, including about 205,000 customers in the San Gabriel Valley. Some were without power for a week.

"There is no question that this, to some degree, was a botched operation," said Peevey, a former presi-dent of Edison Internation-al and Southern California Edison, at Wednesday's commission meeting in San Francisco.

PUC investigators re-ported that both Edison and communications pro-viders including telephone and internet, who jointly own the poles, violated safety standards .

The report is available at www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/enforcement in the Recent News box.

An environmental document for the pro-posed Rosemead Blvd. En-hancement Project is now available for public review.

Technically known as a negative declaration, the draft document finds no significant environmental impacts associated with the Citys plans to trans-form its two-mile segment of Rosemead Blvd. into an accessible, pedestrian-friendly corridor.

Planned improve-ments call for new side-walks, street amenities,

landscaped medians, pub-lic art displays, protected bike lanes, traffic calming measures, and critical road and drainage enhance-ments.

The draft document can be downloaded from the Citys website at www.templecity.us. It can also be viewed at City Hall, 9701 Las Tunas Dr. and Temple City Library, 5939 Golden West Ave.

The public may pro-vide written comments on the documents findings until February 29. The

City will also hold public hearings to solicit verbal and written statements on February 28 and March 6, 7:30 p.m., in the Temple City Council Chambers, 5938 Kauffman Ave.

If approved by the City Council on March 6, the document will allow the $17 million project to break ground this summer.

For more information, call the Citys Community Development Department at (626) 285-2171.

One year anniversary lunch on Valentines Day, February 14.

The City of Temple City and YWCA San Ga-briel Valley invite seniors to celebrate the one year anniversary of its senior lunch program.

An anniversary lun-cheon is set for February 14, 11:30 to 1:00 p.m., at Live Oak Park Commu-nity Center, 10144 Bogue St., Temple City.

Since its launch last year, the lunch program has served over 14,000

meals to local seniors. The success of the pro-

gram lies in its unique as-pect to serve a dual menu a standard daily and an Asian option. The City recognized the needs of the growing Asian com-munity and delivered, said Temple City Coun-cilmember Cynthia Stern-quist. Besides providing community lunches, the program also offers seniors with opportunities for so-cialization, making new friends and learning about different cultures.

The anniversary lunch features a special menu of roasted Cornish game hen, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans and corn, and a spinach salad.

Luncheon reservations are required two days in advance by calling (626) 579-0461. Participants must be 60 years of age or older. There is a suggested donation of $2 per meal.

They dont call Duarte the City of Health for noth-ing. In addition to its regular mental, spiritual and physical workouts at the beginning of its bi-monthly City Council meetings, the city recently initiated the Duarte Family Walking Club, an opportu-nity for residents of all ages to keep up with New Years resolutions to get fit and healthy in 2012.

About 80 people have signed up and begun par-ticipating in the free weekly walking program, which is co-sponsored by the city of Duarte and the Duarte Com-munity Education Founda-tion.

The walking club began Jan. 7 and continues through March 10. Folks can still join by showing up 15 minutes ahead of the 9:30 a.m., Satur-days start to sign up and pick up their free pedometer, map and other startup materials, while supplies last. There also will be free T-shirts for the first participating 50 Duarte residents to log in 25 miles of walking. Walkers keep track of their daily walks, using their pedometers, and turn in the totals each Saturday morning.

Each week, participants also are given raffle tickets to help motivate attendance. Winning tickets will be drawn on March 10 for myriad gift certificates and other prizes.

I made it, exclaimed

Evalia Sabori, 58, as she ar-rived at Third Street Park on a recent Saturday morning for the weekly walk.

We havent even start-ed yet, joked Teesha Tarr, recreation supervisor for the city of Duarte, as Sabori ar-rived, slightly out of breath from walking from her North Duarte home to the park.

I know, Sabori said, with a smile as she caught her breath and prepared to par-ticipate in the morning warm up.

Each week, before the walkers start out, Tarrs co-club leader and fellow Parks & Recreation department worker, Mayra Ramos De Beltran leads the participants in a five-minute or so series of stretching exercises.

Then, the group sets off, in whichever direction Tarr has assigned for that particu-lar week. She plans to start at different parks each week, and vary the routes to enable participants to walk through most of the city throughout the 10-week program.

There are a few options of walk length, so its attain-able for those just starting on an exercise regime, as well as those already used to walking a few miles at a time.

On this particular Sat-urday, some of the walkers logged more than three miles, trekking down Third Street to Highland Avenue, down to Duarte Road and back

up Buena Vista Avenue. A handful of the days about 50 walkers cut off halfway down Highland Avenue making it a just about a two-mile walk.

Theres no push to keep up with fast walkers, and no shame in shortening the days trek.

Barbara Tjaden, 65, said the club enables her to get exercise she might not oth-erwise find during the week, as she normally keeps pace with her 79-year-old husband. And he doesnt walk very fast, she said.

However, Tjaden also recently started walking with a race walking club at the senior center, so shes get-ting a double dose of Duarte healthy living.

Thats OK, I need the extra exercise. I want to live to be an old age, she said.

Betty Luke, 76, has lived in Duarte since 1962, and also engages in both the se-nior race walking and the city walking club.

I like both groups be-cause the race walk is more formal and the instructor is teaching us a heel-toe way to walk; whereas, this club is less rigid, and we just walk, she said.

The club makes a great activity for James and Megan Finlay, who walked briskly along with Megan pushing their children, Brielle, 4, and Ethan, 2, in a double stroller.

Its a little bit of an

extra workout pushing the kids, she said.

However, the Finlays are up to the challenge as they both are active in other sporting activities throughout the week.

I bike and Megan is a runner, James Finlay said, adding the couple usually goes on a run or ride of some length every day.

Finlays grandparents, Ed and Helen Ferguson also joined the walking club, so its really a family affair, he said.

Asha Gandhi, 58, has logged one of the higher numbers of miles in the group so far. Up to Jan. 28, she logged 35 miles.

I take my walking seri-ously, she said, adding she and her husband walk daily on the Royal Oaks walking trail.

A Walk Through Hollywood History

I like old Hollywood. I like the glamour, the mystic and the history of the gold-en era of movie-making. So when I heard about a walk-ing tour called Hollywood Behind the Scenes that covers a lot of historic Hol-lywood, I knew I had to in-vestigate.

My getaway began in Pasadena, where I boarded the Gold Line train to Union Station in Los Angeles. Here I transferred to the Redline subway train and rode a few stops to the Hollywood and Highland Metro Station. From here I walked a couple blocks to Red Line Tours, lo-cated at the famed Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.

Offering a multitude of behind-the-scenes tours of Hollywood venues, celebrity homes, movie studios and more, the company explores Hollywood's secrets and discovers what many other tours miss. The tours are ei-

ther by bus or van, or walk-ing. Mine was the latter.

Dubbed Hollywood Behind the Scenes, the 75-minute tour reveals the story of Hollywood from its Golden age to the present. The tour is led by a knowl-edgeable guide and uses a live state-of-the-art headset audio system that allows guests to clearly hear the guide up to 300 ft away.

Once acquainted with the headset, we began our walk. There were about 10 of us, including an expert guide named Michael Her-nandez, who made even the smallest Hollywood tidbit ex-citing. Also joining us were celebrities Erin Murphy, who played little Tabitha on the classic TV show Bewitched; Kate Linder from the soap opera Young and Restless; and Romi Dames from Han-na Montana. The ladies were on hand to help celebrate the launch of Red Lines new collectable souvenir tickets that were designed by world-renown artist Andre Miripol-sky.

The tickets depict the Capitol Records Building, Graumans Chinese The-

atre, and the Hollywood Bowl on their face. They are anticipated to become high-quality collector items.

The first stop on our tour was inside the legendary Egyptian Theatre, the site of Hollywoods first premiere, "Robin Hood" starring Douglas Fairbanks, which lit up the movie palace with a multitude of stars, flashing lights and a red carpet. This event set the stage for every movie premiere held there-after.

Continuing our walk, we past the Roosevelt Ho-tel, where the first Academy Awards were held - an event that lasted a meager 20 min-utes, which is nothing com-pared to todays five-hour marathon! Along the way, we passed numerous stars on Hollywoods Walk of Fame, while Michael told us about Elizabeth Taylor, who once half-jokingly demanded an unheard of $1 million to star in Cleopatra. And when she actually got the money, she became Hol-lywoods first million-dollar diva.

Our next stop was the Kodak Theatre, the modern

home of the Oscars. Here we got an up-close look at where celebrities walk the red car-pet and partake in the grand awards show. Next to the Ko-dak, we studied the famous hand and feet prints immor-talized in concrete in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Of note here are the prints of John Waynes small feet, Trigger the horses hoof,

Jimmy Durants nose, and a legend about what body part the full-figured Marilyn Mon-roe wanted to push into the cement instead of her hands.

As we continued our walk, I learned so many other interesting tidbits about classic Hollywood stars and structures, I felt like an ex-pert. This is a great tour for anyone interested in historic

Hollywood movie culture. Red Line Tours Hol-

lywood Behind-the-Scenes box office is located in front of the Egyptian Theatre, at 6708 Hollywood Blvd Hol-lywood, CA 90028. Tours run daily. Admission: Adult (16+) $24.95 and Child (9-15) $15. For more information, visit: www.redlinetours.com.

Taking about 25 stu-dents through some paces with humor but also a firm

knowledge of the body, Clare Moruay clearly held everyones attention as she went through the various stretching and other exercis-es. Happy Birthday Clare.

5 Indicted in Department of Homeland Security Probe TargetingUnusual Human Smuggling Scheme

LA-based ring recruited non-Spanish speaking African-Americans as driversFive Los Angeles-area

residents have been indict-ed for operating a human smuggling scheme that re-lied largely on non-Spanish speaking African-Ameri-cans to transport loads of illegal aliens from the U.S.-Mexico border to the Los Angeles area.

Four of the defendants, including the suspected ringleader of the scheme, Maria Reyna Lopez-Di-az, 60, of Compton, were taken into custody Thurs-day morning by agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Border Patrol.

The indictment, hand-ed down Jan. 18 and un-sealed Thursday, accuses Lopez-Diaz of running a human smuggling transpor-tation cell. She allegedly coordinated with interna-tional smugglers to arrange for the pick-up of illegal aliens near the border. Lopez-Diaz also allegedly purchased the smuggling vehicles and recruited the drivers, providing them with cars, cell phones and travel expenses. The inves-tigation revealed Lopez-Diaz specifically sought out financially disadvantaged U.S. citizens from south Los Angeles who did not speak Spanish, offering them $300 to $800 for ev-ery illegal alien they suc-cessfully transported.

According to inves-tigators, the ring charged aliens anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000 to be smuggled from the border to Los Angeles. The aliens were locked inside vehicle trunks or concealed in spe-cially built compartments under the hood or else-where. During a one-year period from January 2010 through January 2011, it is estimated the organization was smuggling several doz-en aliens a month into the Los Angeles area.

The actions uncov-ered in this case are calcu-lated and troubling, said Claude Arnold, special agent in charge for ICE HSI in Los Angeles. If the allegations are true, the de-fendants not only targeted the financially vulnerable to perpetrate this criminal scheme, but in their eager-ness to reap a profit, they put their alien clients at

considerable risk.The three-count indict-

ment is the culmination of a two-year probe by Los An-geles and San Diego-based ICE HSI agents and the U.S. Border Patrols San Diego Sector. The inves-tigation began in January 2010 after Border Patrol agents began encountering an increasing number of African-American drivers with as many as six aliens concealed in the trunks of their vehicles.

Operation Green ICE exemplifies the successful collaboration of the United States Border Patrol, Immi-gration and Customs En-forcement Homeland Se-curity Investigations, and the United States Attor-neys Office to target and dismantle the Transnation-al Criminal Organizations that attempt to operate in the California Corridor, said Boulevard Border Pa-trol Station Patrol Agent in Charge Michael Doolittle. Our enhanced integration with our law enforcement partners promotes inter-agency information sharing and the ability to rapidly respond to transnational threats such as this criminal smuggling organization.

According to inves-tigators, the rings de-cision to primarily use non-Spanish speaking Afri-can-American drivers was a calculated attempt to try to reduce the risk of detec-tion and prosecution. First, the defendants believed the drivers were less likely to arouse suspicion. In the event they were stopped by the Border Patrol, the drivers inability to speak Spanish and communicate with the aliens they were transporting meant the drivers had limited infor-mation about the broader smuggling scheme. Finally, by keeping the number of aliens in each smuggling at-tempt to six or fewer, the defendants believed there was less chance authorities would seek criminal charg-es against the individual drivers.

Besides Lopez-Diaz, the others charged in the case are:

Juan Eduardo Baltazar, 35, of Rialto, Lopez-Diazs son-in-law, who allegedly prepared the smuggling vehicles and outfitted them with hidden compartments

to conceal the aliens; Karen Esteban-Mo-

rales, 23, of Los Angeles, Lopez-Diazs daughter-in-law, who allegedly transported drivers to the smuggling vehicles and coordinated the pick-up of the illegal aliens;

Bobby Johnson, 67, of Los Angeles, who alleg-edly transported multiple groups of aliens and also recruited other drivers; and

Yvette Hazel Bin-ford, 32, of Inglewood, an alleged driver who is still being sought at this time.

All five defendants are accused of one count of conspiracy. In addi-tion, Lopez-Diaz, Baltazar and Johnson are charged with transporting illegal

aliens; and Lopez-Diaz and Baltazar are also charged with alien harboring. Each count carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in pris-on and a $250,000 fine. In addition to the criminal charges, defendants Lopez-Diaz, Baltazar and Esteban-Morales are all in the Unit-ed States illegally and face possible deportation at the conclusion of the criminal proceedings.

The case is being pros-ecuted by the U.S. Attor-neys Office for the Cen-tral District of California with substantial assistance provided by the U.S. Attor-neys Office for the South-ern District of California.
