Assemblymember An-thony Portantino (D-La Ca-ada Flintridge) was honored last night in Sacramento by the California Police Chiefs Association (CPCA) for his public safety measure ban-ning the open carry of un-loaded handguns in public places.

As someone with many relatives in law enforcement this means a lot to me. I

know and respect the dedi-cated men and women in uni-form and the work they do to keep our communities safe and it is a tremendous honor to receive this recognition, stated Assemblymember Por-tantino. I have been blessed to have worked closely with the Police Chiefs during my time in office most recently on

Arcadias nearly 29,000 registered voters received election ballots last week with a crucial blunder in its Chinese-language instruc-tions that could cause some votes to be invalidated at worse and add considerable amount of confusion at best. However, the city is trying to correct the error by mailing out 29,000 postcards detail-ing the glitch. Additionally,

Its really not hard to see why people get in-vloved in raising money

for childhood cancer re-search, especially when you meet young people like William Klopper, a 9-year old with a truly

contageous smile as wide a the Rio Grande. Klop-per has spent the last year of his young life at City of Hope hoping to find

some answers for his ex-ceptionally rare cancer.

The day got off to a good start. Inventory went well. That is, I checked around the body, the parts were all there. Each part seemed to function. Some were stiff and some ached but they all worked. Albeit some of them needed some help.

I remember when I was a child I used to hear my elders say they were ... "all stoved up". I couldn't figure out exactly what that meant. I still don't know what it means but I know how it feels.

It was going to be anoth-er hot day. I don't like hot days in winter. I get a little testy when the temperature becomes abnormally high. When I'm stiff, achy and hot I get real testy. Probably not a

good time to be around me.Life has taught me to be

thankful, not complaining. I am thankful that the earth is not shaking, that we are not having a windstorm, that we are not in the throes of a horrible flood. But, Lord, I would be happy to be thank-ful for a nice soft breeze and a thermometer that reads about seventy-five degrees.

The San Gabriel Moun-tains were clearly, beautifully, majestically visible. Have you noticed that every time the mountains are clearly vis-ible your nose runs? When it's all smoggy and yucky and the mountains disappear, your chest hurts but your nose doesn't run. Reminds me of a joke my kids used to tell: What do your nose and your feet have in common? They both run and they both smell. Gross. Kind of spoils the mood set by beautiful majestic mountains doesn't it?

To enjoy that majestic mountain setting, I did as I

used to do, I went to the Ar-boretum for an early morn-ing walk in peace and soli-tude. It is mating season for the Peafowl. I had on a really bright, multi-tinted blouse. A Peacock who saw me must have figured I was a big Pea-hen. He squawked, fanned his tail and began to strut his stuff.

He really was a gorgeous sight to behold but I think God definitely gave this guy beauty instead of brains. He rattled his tail and came tear-ing at me, passion glowing from every colorful feather.

I stomped my foot. He stopped. I said, "Sorry little fellow, case of mistaken iden-tity." He cocked is head and trotted into the bushes.

I was sorry I had ruined his day. But, you know, look-ing at the bright side, My day was still going well. It's been a while since a young, good-looking male anything has flirted with me that aggres-sively.

Dear Editor:I was shocked to hear

a message on my answering machine from Bob Harbicht asking me to vote for John Wou for the city council. In the many years that I have been associated with Ar-cadia politics I have never seen such a blatant effort by a member of the City Coun-cil to promote the election of any candidate. That smacks of the Good Old Boys

Club. It is a game of Mu-sical Chairs. That is exactly what the voters of Arcadia said that they did not want to create when we overwhelm-ingly approved a charter amendment limiting council members to two 4 year terms in office. That is a form of nepotism that can lead to problems such as in Bell and other communities. If elected John would be beholden to support any suggestion by

Bob. Councilmen should be independent and think for themselves. Fortunately Bob and John and Gary are all good men and have served our city well. The Charter looks to the periodic input of new faces and new ideas on our City Council. That promises new and indepen-dent thought. That is the re-sult I hope we will see in this election.

Dear Friends and Col-leagues of Pasadena City College:

This will be the week that State Community Col-lege Chancellor Jack Scott comes to visit for a major Town Hall meeting on Thursday, March 22, at noon in Sexson Auditorium. The Chancellor will be speaking about the state of the com-munity colleges and what we can do to move forward given our many challenges. Given that Chancellor Scott recently announced his re-tirement effective September 1st, it will also be a moment for us to thank Jack for his extraordinary service to PCC and the State of California. If you would like to reserve a seat for the event, please email Mary Thompson: mhthompson@pasadena.

Getting the Word Out: Super Sunday at Area Afri-can-American Churches

Yesterday I had the great joy of returning to First AME Church in Pasadena for Sunday worship. It was part of PCCs Super Sun-day visits to local churches to get the word out that PCC opens its arms to its in-district students. I spoke to the con-gregation and let them know that despite all the headlines about budget cuts that PCC was open and enrolling in-district students as its top pri-ority. In fact, if any 12th grad-er who lives in the PACCD applies by the April 1 dead-line, they will be guaranteed admission and enrollment in the classes they need to get their college careers started. So if you know of a 12th grader, please do anything and everything to help them to apply. Students can apply online or come to a special Open House on Friday, March 23, 8am-1pm, here at PCC, and our counselors will take it from there. And if you are a resident of the PACCD and are not a 12th grader but want to return to school, you receive priority too. Spread t he (good) word!

The Pasadena Games: Track and Field Meet at Robinson Stadium, Satur-day, March 24, 10am

I want to give this won-derful event a special men-tion. I especially want to thank Coach Larry Wade for reviving this great event at PCC. This is an all day meet of the top community col-leges in the State. I was at last years event and I will be out there again this year. If you have never been to a track and field meet live, this is the one to go to, especially with children and teenagers. You will see first-rate competition between amazing student-athletes. And it all happens in the stadium named in part for Olympic track star, Mack Robinson, who pushed Jesse Owens to victory in the 1936 Berlin Games.

The Santa Monica Ex-periment .You may have seen the many articles on Santa Monica Community Colleges decision to go to two-tier fees so that they can offer more high-demand classes to studentswho are willing and able to pay the fee of about $200 per unit as opposed to $46. I have to tell you honestly that Im not a fan of this, although I applaud SMCC for its inno-vative approach to the devas-tating budget crisis we face. I think PCCs new Gradu-ation Fund accomplishes much the same thing but pre-serves the access and fairness for all students. Our Gradu-ation Fund will enable us to offer additional high-demand classes through private dona-tions and other savings from increased cost effectiveness. But the faculty will be hired in the normal way through our contract with the Faculty Association and all students will pay the same fee. As bad as our budget crisis isand it is very badthis is not time to take the community out of community colleges.

I did support last years Assembly Bill that came out of Santa Monica also to en-

able community colleges to offer Extension recreational and life-long learning classes at a higher market-based fee. This would have enabled PCC to continue such classes for such folks as our seniors who wanted to pay for them. And this would have en-abled us to subsidize some high-priority programs in the Community Education Center, for example. The bill was defeated but my guess is it will likely return in some form.

All of these unusual measures are ominous har-bingers unless the State gets its act together and devel-ops an entirely new fund-ing model for public higher education (and K-12 too) that is not dependent on the boom-or-bust cycle of tax collections. The irony is that while the economy as a whole seems to be recover-ing, property tax collections on which public education depends will continue to decline along with property values. We have long since passed the point of discard-ing the California Master Plan for Higher Education, created by Edmund Brown in 1959. Today we are hur-tling toward the privatization of public education, all in the name of cost effective-ness. I am not whining for more funding at the expense of other State priorities like health care. But I am saying its time to consider return-ing to more local control of public education, so that we can plan our future rather than just dangle and wait until the next cut or the next deferral.

In these messages, Ill keep brainstorming ideas for the way forward. And I am optimistic about the way for-ward, for all of todays chal-lenges. Let me know how you see it.

In hope and heart,Dr. Mark RochaSuperintendantPresident

St. Rita Church will host a special ecumenical event on Palm Sunday evening at 7 p.m. on April 1. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Weeks traditional commemoration of the series of events that define Chris-tian faith: Jesus triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, when palm branches were placed in His path, the time before His arrest on Holy Thursday and His Crucifix-ion on Good Friday.

Choir members from churches in Pasadena, South Pasadena, Walnut and Glen-dale, plus vocalists from three colleges, USC, CSULA and PCC will join the St. Rita choir. The event will de-but poignant new music and script written as a collabora-tive effort by Sierra Madre-ans, Mimi Mycroft and Paul Puccinelli, interspersed with traditional reflective Lenten

prayer and music. Puccinelli, Director of

Liturgy and Music at St. Rita, said the evening will present a fresh perspective, as seen through the eyes of passersby on the Journey to the Cross with an overarching theme of forgiveness.

Said Mycroft, an expe-rienced playwright and pag-eant producer, We wanted to make the week of the Pas-sion a special spiritual experi-ence for the parish and com-munity. She has worked on connecting the dots with narrations, and viewing the same situation through differ-ent eyes.

The duos goal is to of-fer a full fledged experience from different perspectives. A young girl will reflect the joy of Jesus the King com-ing to Jerusalem. Another vignette will follow two apos-tles as they prepare for the

fest in the upper room. A miffed Judas will

speak in soliloquy after being dismissed by Jesus from the supper table. At the Crucifix-ion, Mary Magdalene will re-flect on Mother Mary at the foot of the cross. Later, the Centurion who won Jesus cloak in a roll of the dice, will share

Mycroft and Pucinelli hope to spark renewed re-flection and prayer, engen-dered by What if I were there? What would I have said? and What would I have done?

All are welcome at this ecumenically appropriate evening. Donations will be gratefully accepted.

St. Rita Catholic Church is located at 318 N. Baldwin Avenue, Sierra Madre. For more information, please call 626-355-1292 or visit the par-ish website, www.St-Rita.org.

Missing Person

the first time hes been re-ported missing to the Arca-dia Police Department. Mr. McCain does not have any family in the area, nor does he frequent any specific places or locations. Addi-tionally, Mr. McCain com-monly travels by either foot or bus, and is not known to drive a vehicle.

Mr. McCain is regis-tered as a sex offender in this State and can be found in the Megans Law Da-tabase. He has been in

compliance with registra-tion guidelines, has had no recent contact with law enforcement to suggest criminal behavior, and his conviction requiring regis-tration is over two decades old. At this time, there is no nexus between his reg-istration status and the miss-ing person report.

The Arcadia Police Department continues its search for Mr. McCain, and is seeking the publics help in locating him. With no lo-

cal known relatives, follow-up has been difficult. Local hospitals and area law en-forcement have been alert-ed as well. Anyone with information regarding Mr. McCains whereabouts is asked to contact the Arca-dia Police Department at (626) 574-5156.

We have included a small descripton of Mr. Mc-Cain: Male White, 600/175 lbs, 58 years old, Last seen wearing a lt. blue polo shirt and jeans.

Dancing for love of movement and beauty is inspiration enough, but An-geleno Ana Maria Alvarez is equally passionate about helping underserved children in our community. CON-TRA-TIEMPO, the nonprof-it, activist-driven professional dance company Alvarez cofounded with her brother Csar, not only tours and performs but also creates arts programs and specialized arts curriculums for students. The companys commitment to healthy eating is reflected in their newest production, Full Still Hungry, which touches on hunger, obesity and the role food plays in our lives.

Unique in its approach to dance and overall artistic ex-pression, CONTRA-TIEM-POs Urban Latin Dance Theater fuses salsa, Afro-Cuban, hip-hop and abstract dance theater in a complete rebuilding of dance music to create compelling and politi-cally astute performances.

My neighborhood is . . . the world. I have been mov-ing around my entire life, but right now its Miracle Mile.

I came to LA because . . . this definitely feels like home.

When I started dancing . . . I think I was five years old, but for as long as I can remember it was something

I loved to do, that made me happy.

What I like most about dancing is . . . I feel so free and connected to everything good when I am dancing. Physically it feels so good to move my body and connect to music, but also metaphysi-callymy mind, heart and soulit feeds me, it makes me feel complete and alive.

Other dancers I admire are . . . Jawole Willa Jo Zollar (Urban Bush Women), from whom I have gotten so much guidance and inspiration; Katherine Dunham for being such an innovator in the field; Bill T. Jones for his continuing creativity and engagement with the world. And there are many more.

I work with inner city kids because . . . when I began this work in Brooklyn I soon found that what I love about dancethe power of this art form to transform human beingswas so evident when working with youth who had no access to this kind of work/art/expression. I became pres-ent to the fact that dance has the capacity to teach people about themselves and could truly transform the world.

What is most rewarding to me in that work is . . . I get to see a shift in a human be-ing because of dance. I get to

see passion lit up. I witness a change in a way that the stu-dents look at themselves and the world around them.

My friends would say Im . . . passionate, energetic, loving, optimistic about the ability of the arts to change peoples lives and a Tas-manian devil

When I want to have fun, I like to . . . spend time with my son and family, go salsa dancing, listen to really good music, eat fresh, deli-cious food and talk to friends.

When Im looking for inspiration, I . . .go to the ocean, go out dancing, write in my journal, read, watch film or talk to inspiring peo-ple. The best thing someone can say about my work is . . . it changed the way they thought about something and left them feeling inspired.

Whats most surprising to me about my life now is . . . that I got everything I wanted as a little girl. Im a mother, a dancer and a teacher.

The way I think I can have the greatest impact on this crazy world is . . . con-tinuing to build powerful and inspiring work that addresses contemporary culture in a way that connects individuals and creates community.

Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. met with 102 year-old WWII veteran Bea Cohen today at the State Capitol, as part of celebra-tions honoring Womens Military History Week. Ms. Cohen is believed to be the oldest living female WWII veteran in California and one of the oldest in the country.

A native of Buhush, Romania, Ms. Cohen wit-

nessed the start of WWI before immigrating to the United States as a child. When the second World War started, Ms. Cohen produced munitions and war supplies at the Douglas Aircraft Company in Los Angeles before enlisting in the U.S. Army. As a Private First Class, she was assigned to Elveden, England, where she worked in top-secret communications. Today,

Ms. Cohen lives in Los An-geles and still attends meet-ings at the West Los Ange-les Veterans Home.

Earlier today, Ms. Co-hen was the guest of honor at a state reception honor-ing all women veterans and military personnel, where she was recognized by the California Department of Veterans Affairs, the Gov-ernors Office and the Cali-fornia State Assembly.

Residents of Mexico who were rocked March 20 by an earthquake mea-suring 7.4 on the Richter scale and several strong aftershocks might be quick to remind others in quake-prone areas of the world such as southern California that making an emergency kit and a family disaster-response plan is worth the minimal time and effort in-

volved.Being prepared for

quakes that geologists as-sure us will eventually come, most likely without warning, could make the difference between life and death. Thats why Pasa-dena Fire Department pro-vides a wealth of informa-tion on the citys website at www.cityofpasadena.net/disaster about how to plan

ahead and take reasonable precautions now to help you survive during and af-ter a serious earthquake or other disaster.

To arrange for a Pasa-dena Fire Department disaster preparedness pre-sentation for your business, organization or group, contact Emergency Man-agement Coordinator Lisa Derderian at (626) 744-7276.

Paint n Play Art Studio News Photography Event a Success Despite the Rains

Over 390 Arrested in Californias Largest Decoy Shoulder Tap Operation Ever

The event Saturday night At Paint n Play Art Studio and Art Gallery on Myrtle Ave. in Old Town Monrovia was a great suc-cess according to organizers. News photographers and on air talents and other news

people came to support and enjoy the photographic works of several news cam-era persons.

News cameramen Mar-tin Orozco, Dave Klein, Ste-phen Coleman from KABC TV and Gary Brainard and

Patti Ballaz from FOX 11 TV displayed their creative still photography talents to a very enthusiastic reception. Pulitzer Prize winner Nick Ut joined and displayed 9 of his current works. Artists Vince Takas and Rick Kess

both from Disney also show their paintings. The highlight of the evening was several people were showing their works for the very first time and the photographs will remain at Paint n Play for a brief period.

Investigators from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) and Officers from over 90 local law enforce-ment agencies joined forces on Friday, March 16, 2012, in the largest Decoy Shoul-der Tap Operation ever as-sembled in California.

The operation was con-ducted statewide for the first time ever. The task force

operation resulted in 4 local arrests. Statewide over 300 adults were cited for furnish-ing alcoholic beverages to mi-nors and dozens more were arrested for other crimes, such as public drunkenness, driving under the influence, drugs, parole violations and outstanding warrants.

ABC Investigators and local law enforcement con-ducted a program called a

Decoy Shoulder Tap Opera-tion which can lead to the ar-rest of adults who purchase alcohol for people less than 21 years of age. Under the program, a minor under the direct supervision of a peace officer will stand outside a liquor or convenience store and ask patrons to buy them alcohol. The minor indicates in some way he or she is un-derage and cannot purchase

the alcohol. The program is in-

tended to reduce the avail-ability of alcohol to minors. According to the American Medical Association, under-age drinking can increase chances of risky sexual be-havior and teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, com-promised health, and can result in unintentional injury and death.

Do you change your cars motor oil? Did you know that used motor oil and oil filters are recyclable? Used oil can be re-refined or processed into new motor oil. Currently only 46% of used motor oil is being recycled, which means 20 million gallons may be illegally entering Californias waterways via storm-water systems, posing a great risk to the environment. One gallon of used oil can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water; polluting our waterways and threaten fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

Teen's Personal Experience Inspires Free CPR Training

The Social Whirl

Methodist Hospital will sponsor free CPR (cardio-pulmonary resus-citation) training for teens Saturday, March 31, at Ar-cadia High Schools North Gym.

The course, part of a community-wide effort to teach Hands Only CPR to teens will be offered at 3 and 4 p.m. Each session is 45 minutes.

The idea for offering the training was inspired by Allie Hisey, 15, who almost lost her mother to sudden cardiac arrest at a Little League baseball game in 2010.

Three strangers per-formed CPR on my mom and kept her heart pump-ing until help arrived, Al-lie said. They saved her life and I will always be grateful.

Allies mother, Jill Hisey, was taken to Meth-odist Hospital and eventu-ally made a full recovery. Remarkably, Allies teen-age cousin also suffered

sudden cardiac arrest in 2011 but fully recovered as well under the care of Methodist Hospital staff.

This project is a small way to show my apprecia-tion and make a difference in our community, Allie said.

Many community or-ganizations are involved in making the event a success, providing refresh-ments and raffle items for participants, volunteer help and thank-you items for the volunteers. Some of the groups involved in-clude Trader Joes, Matt Dennys, Roundtable Pizza, Original Tommys, Fresh & Easy, Girl Scouts-Los Angeles, Typecraft, Wood & Jones, Dreyers and the Arcadia police and fire departments.

A highlight of the event will be items auto-graphed by Katy Perry and Adam Lambert that par-ticipating teens will have a chance to win.

The CPR training,

provided by volunteers from Methodist Hospital and the community, will precede the annual Battle of the Badges basketball game between the Arca-dia fire and police depart-ments at 6 p.m. in the gym. The training and basket-ball game were scheduled together to promote collab-oration in the community.

Any teen who would like to participate can reg-ister online at http://arcadi-acpr.eventbrite.com.

The American Heart Associations Hands-Only CPR course teaches skills using research-proven practice-while-watching technique that provides students with the most hands-on CPR practice time possible.

Our goal is to teach hundreds of teens this hands-only CPR method. I am proof that anyone, including teens, can save a life simply by being aware of the CPR basics, Jill said.


The Sunset Room at the Santa Anita Golf Course was the delightful setting for the San Gabriel Valley Alumnae Panhellenics 8th Annual Awards for Scholars Benefit Luncheon. Once again the room was jammed to overflowing, as it has been each year. And, again, an-other outstanding speaker addressed the group. This

years speaker was Julia Ro-driguez-Elliott, the co-founder and Artistic Director of the San Gabriel Valleys new theater, A Noise Within. Rodriguez-Elliott, who with her husband, Geoff, have just opened A Noise Within at the totally remodeled Stuart Phar-maceutical Building on Foot-hill Blvd. in East Pasadena. Rodriguez-Elliott recounted

tales of the early years, the the-aters start-up difficulties, and the excitement the company feels as it settles into their new 285-seat facility. The all-sorori-ty group, many with their hus-bands and guests, turned out in force and that was more than enough to encourage brisk ticket sales of specially prepared baskets available at the luncheon courtesy of the members that the Panhellen-ic organization encompasses. Through the luncheon and the basket sales, the group has consistently raised enough money to be able to award as many as five high school senior women who plan to attend a four year college or university scholarships. The benefit has allowed the pre-sentation of $1,000 to each scholarship winner over the years the benefit has been held. All winners throughout the years have attended lo-cal San Gabriel Valley high schools. Chairman of the event, Margie Totten, and her committee are to be congratu-lated for their efforts. Marty Wetzel serves as President of the group this year.

The Social Whirl

Meredith Willsons The Music Man, one of the worlds most beloved musical theatre produc-tions, comes to life on Sat-urday, March 24 (8 pm) and Sunday, March 25 (2 pm) at the San Gabriel Mis-sion Playhouse (formerly known as the San Gabriel Civic Auditorium).

This production re-unites San Marino High School alumni Rob Mc-Manus (as Harold Hill, the ultimate salesman), Peggy Schmid (as Marian Paroo, the piano teacher/ librar-ian) and Judy Norquist (as Eulalie McKecknie Shinn,

the mayors wife) as they reprise their roles from the 1995 production with the Shakespeare Club.

Rob, who has flown in from his new home in London for this production, says, What a lovely op-portunity to get to return to River City one more time.

Director Bill Shaw promises a fast-paced show, full of comedy, song, dance and a little romance - some-thing for the whole family. I am enjoying the theat-rical magic created by Peggy and Rob of concen-trated passion, love, and re-spect for the business called

show. Professional pro-duction staff also includes Rikki Lugo, as choreogra-pher, and Bob Marino, as Music Director.

Tickets are $25 to $45 (box seats) and may be purchased on line (www.ShakespeareClub.org) or by calling 800-595-4849. The San Gabriel Mission Playhouse is located at 320 South Mission Drive, San Gabriel. Net proceeds pro-vide scholarships for gradu-ating seniors in the Pasade-na Unified School District.

The cast and crew look forward to welcoming you to River City!

This coming Earth Day, architecture buffs are in for a Greene and Greene treat. On Sunday, April 22, 2012, The Gam-ble House will present Ar-royos Edge: Greene and Greene Interiors 2012, an opportunity to visit six privately-owned properties designed by Charles and Henry Greene between 1902 and 1915. Featuring acclaimed architectural features and design by the masters of the American Arts & Crafts movement, the five private homes and one private garden will be open for touring along Ar-royo Terrace and North Grand Avenue in Pasade-na, all within easy walking

distance of The Gamble House.

It has been twenty years since a Greene and Greene Interiors tour featured the interiors of houses in the historic Park Place neighborhood. On April 22 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. (last entry 4 p.m.), this remarkably intact enclave of the Greenes work once known as Little Swit-zerland for its woodsy, chalet-style structures will once again be the focus of a tour to benefit The Gam-ble House, a National His-toric Landmark designed by Greene and Greene in 1908 and operated by the University of Southern Cal-ifornia School of Architec-

ture as a public site since 1966.

Date: Sunday April 22, 2012

Hours: 12 noon to 5 p.m. (last entry at 4 p.m.)

General Admission: $85 per person; $50 for children under 12

Member Admission: $75 per person (to join Friends of The Gamble House visit www.gamble-house.org or call 626 783-3334 x 16)

We regret that these private homes and gardens are not wheelchair acces-sible.

Visitors should plan to wear sturdy walking shoes.

Continued from page 1Portantino Named Legislator of the Year'

the bill to ban the open carry of unloaded handguns. Cali-fornia is a safer place because the Governor signed our col-laborative effort into law.

Last year, Assembly-member Portantino success-fully authored AB 144 which outlaws the open carry of unloaded firearms in Cali-fornia. The bill was backed by the CPCA and rank and file police officers who main-tained that open carry of weapons in public places was a safety threat and a waste of law enforcement officers time.

Assemblymember Por-tantino authored the Open Carry bill and against all odds, got it through the Legis-lature and to the Governors desk, stated CPCA President Dave Maggard, Chief of the Irvine Police Department. Getting legislation like this in-troduced and passed is critical for the safety of our commu-nities and we appreciate As-semblymember Portantinos leadership.

The legislation makes it illegal to carry an unloaded handgun in any public place or street. Law enforcement

personnel are exempt as are hunters and others carrying unloaded weapons under specified licensed circum-stances.

This year, after open carry supporters began ap-pearing in public with rifles and shotguns, the Assembly-member authored AB 1527, a measure that will prohibit individuals from openly dis-playing unloaded rifles and shotguns in public. This bill also has the support of the Police Chiefs Association and is currently making its way through the Assembly.

has been treating Wil-liam Klopper for his rare abdominal cancer during the past year. Dr. An-derson, who is Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at City of Hope, has treated patients at City of Hope for the past 7 years and is devoted to children and their welfare.

Diagnosed in the sum-mer of 2010, Williams form of cancer, known as desmoplastic-round-cell tumor, according to Dr. Anderson, is a particu-larly aggressive form of cancer which required a bone marrow transplant for young Klopper in ad-dition to intense series of chemotherapy treaments.

Last Thursday eve-ning , the charismatic Klopper shaved his moms head at Matt Dennys as part of the 10th annual St. Baldricks childhood cancer fund-raiser. Lois, his brave mum, was shaving her head in solidarity with her son who was going home to Sacramento for treat-ment at home with an oral chemotherapy known as Temodar. Dr. Anderson said conventional treat-ments at the City of Hope had been exhauseted and that home treatment with Temodar was now indi-cated.

On hand for the fes-tivities Thursday, Dr. Anderson decided to let William Klopper shave a Won the side of his head, to which quickly quipped Ive marked you!

Dr. Anderson this year agreed, after 12 years

of requests, to shave his head this year as part of the St. Baldricks cel-ebrations and fundraiser. However, he already had agreed to let some of other patients shave his head in N. Hollywood on Saturday hence the rea-son for the W only at Matt Dennys.

Matt McSweeny truly outdid himself ac-cording to one Arcadia firefighter by hosting the biggest and most popular childhood cancer fund-raiser in the area as part of St. Baldricks Day for the 10th year in a row.

There were 147 shavees this year. And as of Monday monring the tally of cash raised for childhood Cancer research was $45,522 . That total will be closer to $50,000.00 accortding to McSweeny who has held the fundraiser at his popular Arcadia resyrant and ale house for the past decade.

Each year, 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer worldwide. Cancer is the number one disease killer of children in the U.S. and Canada.

On March 17, 2000, reinsurance executives John Bender, Tim Kenny and Enda McDonnell turned their industry's St. Patrick's Day party into a head-shaving event to benefit kids with cancer. Their 20 "shavee" recruits planned to raise "$17,000 on the 17th." Instead, they raised over $104,000!

The movement has grown into the worlds largest volunteer-driven

fundraising program for childhood cancer re-search, and today the St. Baldrick's Foundation funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. govern-ment. Since 2000, more than 189,660 volunteers -- including over 17,200 women -- have shaved in solidarity with children with cancer at events in dozens of countries and every U.S. state. Thanks to generous friends and family, these shavees have raised over $117 million for research.

The Third Annual Pasadena InterCollegiate Field Tournament:

A Night of Collegiate Fun, Teamwork, and School Spirit

The Pasadena Intercol-legiate Field Tournament was held on March 16th at Pasadena City College. Col-leges from around the Pasa-dena area met to compete in a variety of fun competitions including monster croquet, potato sack race, frisbee, and lego car building. Colleges participating included the Art Center College of De-sign, Fuller Theological Sem-inary, Caltech, Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, Pacific Oaks College and Pasadena City College. "The tournament brings to-gether future scientists, chefs, engineers, teachers, artists and the undeclared," says Michelle Bernal, Pasadena Special Events Coordinator.

The individual compe-

titions were chosen by the individual schools based on their theme. The various col-leges were broken up into teams to participate in the array of competitions. Each group was given a time limit in which to finish the task and thus, whichever team had the best time took first place in that competition. By far, the most popular compe-tition was the lego car build-ing because it tested students' creative ability to design a functional car that could be put to race against one an-other.

As for the results, PCC took first place in the cheer contest, while taking second place in the potato sack race. Le Cordon Bleu took first place in the Pandora's Box

Relay Race, the Art Center College of Design took first place in the Lego Design challenge, while Caltech took first place in the Mon-ster Croquet challenge, Touchdown Frisbee, Min-ute To Win-It challenge and the Amazing Russet Race. At the end of the night the results from all the competi-tions were tallied and the winners were announced. Caltech took first place in the overall field tournament. After the tournament ended, there was a tailgate party at PCC where there were cakes for each of the schools, cour-tesy of Caltech. Future plans for the collegiate field tourna-ment include moving it back to the Rose Bowl once the renovation is completed.
