SACRAMENTO — Two
months after signing legislation
to complete his Million Solar
Roofs plan, Gov. Schwarzenegger launched the Go Solar California Web site (www.GoSolarCalifornia.ca.gov), a one stop
shop for information on the
state's solar programs for California residential and commercial

Oct. 26 - Nov. 1, 2006
by Lynda Siminske
The city of Glendora came all
out for the annual Glendora High
School Homecoming Parade on
Friday afternoon, October 20th.
The theme of this year's homecoming was "Pirates of the Caribbean." Each class at Glendora
High School worked all week on
a float at different student's
homes. Earlier, on Friday a pep
assembly was held and a King
of Homecoming was crowned.
The Homecoming parade included Glendora dignitaries (City
Council and School Board), a
grand marshal, the seven homecoming princesses in cute tartan
plaid skirts and red sweaters and
riding in lovely convertibles, the
Sandburg Middle School Band,
and floats from the Sandburg and
Goddard Middle School Bands
and the outstanding Glendora
High School Band and all of its
Pageantry units (bag pipes, drill
team, tall flags, etc.).
In the evening, the Homecoming football game took place
against Chino Hills High School,
a wonderful fireworks show was
put on and the crowning of the
lovely Homecoming Queen and
her court took place. The half
time show also followed the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, and
Pirate Captain Jack Sparrow did
the honors of crowning the
queen. The queen and her court
rode on to the football field in
golf carts, escorted by their fathers dressed in tuxedos. Each
girl was dressed in a pretty formal and was presented a bouquet
of lovely long stemmed white
roses.
Pretty Homecoming court and their fathers.

women who came to the City
Council had about 40 packaged
stuffed toys with them. The toys
are to be used as needed.
Often, the officers have them
in the patrol units and they come
in handy for the little ones. They
can be given to the children when
they are involve in a traumatic
event or a home problem.
At a recent traffic accident, a
stuffed bear was given to a
young accident victim and that
bump on his head was no longer
an issue as he had a new friend,
the person who gave him the
bear, and more importantly, the
bear itself. This is also a handy

and also helps the officers bring
a little calm to the young children.
Some of the toys may be kept
at the station, so if a lost child is
brought to the station, they can
be given a stuffed animal or toy
until their “lost parents” can be
found and reunited with the little
ones. Often, the officers may
come across families who are
having difficult times. Again, the
toys can be given to make the
children’s day just a little bit better.
Although Chief Frank Wills
was out of town, when he returned he was grateful for the
help and commented, “We can
always use stuffed animals for
all the cases we get involving
traumatized young people.”
Commander Darrell Myrick,

Immunizations For Baby Boomer Generation
F
or all of us increasing in years, we are
realizing that around
this same time each
year, we should be
thinking about getting our influenza and pneumonia vaccines.
If you have matured to 50
years or more, or have a chronic
illness, such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disorder,
prone to lung infections or have
a lung disorder, you should get
your yearly injections. With new
diseases and infections, and those
already spreading throughout the
world, for us to stay healthy, we
must take those precautions and
preventive measures that are
available. Each year, the flu vaccine that is administered for prevention is usually based on last
year's infections and in hopes
that a new strain isn't invading
our population. As the body matures, and help is needed in building antibodies to ward-off infections, everyone should consult
their family doctor as the
weather changes and cold temperatures usually bring on symptoms of colds and sneezing. We
here in California are fortunate
to have a Department of Health
Services that each year conducts
a Flu Outreach Clinic that is made
available throughout the differ-
Bill Singleton
ent senior centers.
Following is a list of available
flu and pneumonia clinics scheduled by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health,
where those 50 and older can go
for free immunizations:
November 1st, Washington
Park Senior Center, 865 Grand
Ave., Pomona, from 9:30 to
11:30 am, and Bassett Senior
Center, 510 N. Vineland Ave., La
Puente, from 10:00 to 11:30 am.
November 2nd, Walnut Senior
Center, 21215 La Puente Rd.,
Walnut, from 9:00 to 12 noon,
and the La Verne Senior Center, 3680 "D" Street, La Verne,
from 9:00 to 12 noon.

Community Building, 245 E.
Bonita Ave., San Dimas, from
9:00 to 11:30 am.

Park, 499 E. Arrow Hwy,
Pomona, from 9:00 to 11:30 am.

Senior Center, 1600 So. Grand
Ave., Diamond Bar, from 9:00
to 11:30 am and the La Puente
Senior Center, 16001 Main St.,
La Puente, from 9:00 to 11:30

Center, 660 N. Mountain Ave.,

9:00 to 11:30 am and the West
Covina Senior Center, 2501 East
Cortez , West Covina, from 8:30
to 12 noon.
November 15th, Emerson Senior Housing, 755 N. Palomares,
Pomona, from 10:00 to 12 noon.
November 16th, Covina
Joslyn Senior Center, 815 N.
Barranca Ave., Covina, from
9:00 to 11:30 am.
These immunizations are only
for flu shots and if you have an
allergy to eggs or a serious illness, you should see your doctor before getting any treatment.
There are many other places
to get your influenza or pneumonia shots, or if you are planning
to leave the country for business
or pleasure, the required immunizations for entering that particular area. There is an Infectious Disease Center at 130 W.
Route 66, suite #302, Glendora,
where you can get travel consultations and immunization services. Many travel areas require
you get immunization for Hepatitis A, B and Pediatrics, HIB,
HPV, Immune Globulin, Japanese
Encephalitis, Measles, Mumps
and Rubella, Meningococcal Infections, Pneumococcal Infections and Poliomyelitis. Certain
vaccinations and other preventive medications are required at
least one to two months before
entering certain areas of the
world. Some areas requiring specific vaccinations if you plan to
travel are: Africa, South America
and Southeast Asia. Many of
these vaccinations are dictated by
the Center for Disease Control
and the World Health Organization. Clinic visit fees are $15.00
plus the cost of vaccines. You
can also get your seasonal flu and
pneumonia vaccines from this
same clinic. The clinic provides
an infectious disease specialist
who is a doctor with advanced
training in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses caused by microorganisms or germs.
As distances around the world
are shrinking from air travel, and
more tourist and immigrants are
entering the United States, legally
or illegally, diseases that were
eradicated over the years in this
country are now re-appearing.
Yellow fever, polio, rubella and
tuberculosis are some of the diseases that have now appeared
again in this country after being
almost non-existent for many
years. As the baby-boomers and
many others are living longer,
and with age, our immune systems are weakened and susceptible, getting injections, exercising, eating healthier and taking
vitamins has become a necessity
to our daily lives. Getting our flu
shots around this time every year
has become routine for those 50
and older. The availability and
places where we can go has
made it easier for just about everyone to get their flu and pneumonia shots either at a reasonable charge or for "free". Even
those that can't afford to pay or
lack health insurance shouldn't be
denied being able to immunize
themselves every year and most
senior centers through L. A.
County assistance makes this
available. Get your shots, even
if it involves waiting your turn in
line; not only to protect yourself,
but to protect others around you.
Dreier Honored For Successful Effort to
Change U.S.-Mexico Extradition Policy
WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman David Dreier (RGlendora) was honored for his
successful efforts to change the
extradition policy of Mexico in
order to secure the extradition of
the alleged killer of Los Angeles
County Deputy Sheriff David
March.
He received the Pursuit of Justice Award from the Association
of Deputy District Attorneys,
along with Deputy March's parents, John and Barbara March,
and his widow, Teri March.
"No matter the obstacles, cop
killers must be brought to justice for their crimes," Dreier said.
"Over the last four years,
many people have worked together to find a resolution to the
tragic case of Deputy March's
murder.
In particular, the steadfast resolve and commitment of the
March family and Los Angeles
County District Attorney Steve
Cooley have been instrumental in
delivering not only for Deputy
March, but for other families in
similar situations.
Mexico's extradition policy
needed to be changed, and
thanks to these efforts, it has
been."
Deputy March was brutally
murdered execution-style on
April 29, 2002, during a routine
traffic stop. Armando Garcia, the
suspect in the crime, fled to
Mexico within hours of the
Deputy March's death to elude
capture and prosecution by U.S.
authorities.
A 2001 Mexico Supreme
Court decision barring extradition of suspects facing life imprisonment complicated efforts to bring Garcia back to the
U.S.
In response, Congressman
Dreier, along with the March
family, Congressional colleagues, and local public officials,
reached out to President Bush
and other Administration officials
and urged them to take aggressive action on the issue.
Congressman Dreier also appealed directly to several members of Mexico's Supreme Court
asking them to reconsider the
2001 decision.
On November 29, 2005, the
Mexican Supreme Court overturned the 2001 ban on cases
involving life imprisonment, paving the way for more extraditions
to the U.S. from Mexico.
Armando Garcia was arrested in
Tonala, Jalisco, Mexico on February 23, 2006, and is now
awaiting extradition to the U.S.
In addition to his direct communication with Administration
and Mexican officials, Dreier has
also led the effort in Congress to
ensure cop-killers who flee the

Teri March, and Steve Remige, President, Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs, who accepted
the award on behalf of John and Barbara March.
U.S. can be brought to justice.
He authored, with the support
of Los Angeles County Sheriff
Lee Baca, H.R. 3900, the Justice for Peace Officers Act,
which makes it a federal crime
to kill a peace officer and flee the
country.
A provision based on this bill
The San Gabriel Valley
was included in H.R. 1751, the
Secure Access to Justice and
Court Protection Act, which
passed the House in November
2005, and is pending in the Senate.
In accepting his award, Dreier
thanked Los Angeles County
Deputy District Attorney Steve
Examiner
Ipsen, President of the Association of Deputy District Attorneys,
for his continued focus on the
March case as well as other cases
crucial to the safety of the communities in and around Los Angeles.

Statue Stolen
On October 17th, Jay Rutnam, who lived near Goddard Middle
School on Sierra Madre Avenue in Glendora, noticed that the beautiful Fountain with three Dolphins was missing from the front of his
house. The fountain is an original bronze by the famed Spanish
sculptor Marinetto and was bought by the Rutnams from a very
special estate auction in Beverly Hills. According to Jay’s wife Gina,
this beautiful fountain not only enhanced the beauty of the house,
but also Sierra Madre Avenue, and in turn, Glendora.
The empty spot where the statue stood, is a stark reminder of
how one should be careful with their precious belongings even in a
city that is known to be relatively free of crime. One predator, who
according to an eyewitness, arranged to have three people, pluck
the statue from it’s foundation and hurriedly load it onto their pickup
and speed away. This was done in broad daylight at about 11 a.m.
on Monday the 16th. If anybody recognizes this statue, please contact the Glendora Police Department at 626-914-8250 and speak to
Stephanie Stenmo, case no. 06-6198. The person who lets us know
where the statue is will be handsomely rewarded.

The Girls With The
Grandmother Faces
I attended a lecture by a lady
named Frances Weaver in which
she told the following story: It
seems that she was having a
Bridge party for some of her
women friends and her five year
old granddaughter, Sarah, was
tagging along watching her get
things prepared. The little girl
asked her what she was doing
and Frances replied, "I'm getting
ready for the girls to come over
and play cards." "What girls?"
asked Sarah. "You know," was
the reply. "The girls I play Bridge
with every week." "Oh", said
Sarah, "You mean the girls with
the grandmother faces!"
This caused me to think about
the girls that I have been playing
Bridge with for more years than
we care to remember. We certainly are "The girls with the
grandmother faces." We started
our group when we were all
young women with small children and were forced to play in
the evening when our husbands
were home to baby sit. I have
watched all of these friends go
through trials and triumphs and
I have a great love and admiration for all of them.
I realize that no matter how
old we may get in years, that
there is still a little girl living inside of each one of us and sometimes she puts in an appearance
which we may glimpse for only
a brief but refreshing moment.
In tribute to these dear friends, I
wrote the following poem:

With ideals, fresh goals and

magine you stand before
the greatest vault of
video games ever assembled. Above you hovers a great circle with
multiple layers, in one ring you
see tabs with names of all your
favorite systems, PC, DOS,
Nintendo, Genesis, 32X, Game
Gear, Arcade and more.
Within each tab are multiple
games, inside the vault over 700
titles.
Where is this magical place?
Where would you go to play so
many titles and how much would
you spend?
Well, the bad news is this isn't
really a place you can go to, the
good news however is that you
can go online and play these
games from home anytime you
want.
The service is called,
GameTap (www.gametap.com)
and the prices range from a
monthly fee of 9.95 to a prepaid
yearly fee that is less then what
most new games cost.
You get full, unlimited access
to new games, old games and
classic titles.
What kind of games? Let's go
over a few.
For the Arcade fans you have
classic titles like Pac-man,
Frogger, Dig Dug, Elevator Action, Street Fighter, Space InvadIf you look close, you still can
see traces,

ers and more.
You even have newer titles like
Super Puzzle Fighter, GigaWing,
Street Fighter Alpha 3 and other
titles you will still see in local
bowling alleys and arcades.
But say you like older console
games, like the Sega Genesis,
32X or even older, GameTap has
you covered on those as well.
Another amazing thing about
GameTap is you can play new
or classic PC titles on here as well
ranging from Command and
Conquer to Dark Reign, Caesar
3, FarCry, Baulder's Gate and
new ones being added all the time.
This is amazing for people that
have tried to play these older
games on their system with no
luck, they run perfectly on
GameTap.
I found Die by the Sword on
here, an old DOS game that I
thought nobody knew about and
loaded it up and had a blast.
GameTap gives you the option
of strolling through a rich history of games you just can't play
on a normal Windows PC.
GameTap is also taking a
crack at producing games exclusively for the new all you can
game service. After being in limbo
by the heartless LucasArts company, Sam and Max return to
delight gamers in a brand new
series of games exclusively for
GameTap.
I'd pay the monthly fee alone
just for Sam and Max. They also
offer GameTap TV which serves
up some of my favorite shows
from original episodes of Space
Ghost to classic episodes of
SeaLab and others.
So not only do you get a full
gaming archive, you also get a
constantly updated entertainment
channel with some amazing
shows and news features.
GameTap is nearly overwhelming in the choices you
have when you load it up. It
would take you weeks just to
view everything they have, let
alone countless hours of
gameplay.
I can't think of a better value
for your money with so many
choices and features.
I'd give anything to have a service like this on a console, because services like Xbox Live
Arcade don't come anywhere
close to this.

bowlers per team, each with
three bowls to roll down the rink
and try to get as close to the target ball, or jack. The most successful team at this task wins the
game. Easy, right? Well, when
you have two teams rolling a total of 18 bowls, getting close to
the jack gets kind of involved.
The Skips, or team captains roll
the last 6 bowls, so they have
quite a few scattered bowls to
get through to score. You¹ll have
to see it done to appreciate the
skill of the bowlers.
Last Thursday¹s Triples ended
up with three teams finishing in
the money. The first place team
was Ed Whitney (Temple City)
as Lead bowler, Bill MacFarland
(Temple City) was the Vice, or
assistant Captain, and Marinko
Tudor (Arcadia) was the Skip.
Marinko¹s team won two games
and the tournament. The Second place team won only one
game but had a higher score than
the third place team was Don
King (Arcadia) was the Skip,
Jean Reid (Temple City), and
Jena Ball (Arcadia) played the
Lead.
The third place team were Bob
hauerwaas ( Arcadia) Lead, Rose
Blennov (La Puente) the Vice,
and Dick Ashmore (San Gabriel)
played Skip. The fourth place
team finished out of the money
but played well. They were:
Gene Plunkett (Pasadena) the
Skip, Ray Obazawa (Sierra
Madre) the Vice and Hazel
Stevens (Pasadena) the Lead.
Hazel played only one game, and
Paul Verburg(Arcadia) played the
second game. A good time was
had by all.
Lawn bowling is a light aerobic exercise. More mental than
physical, and just about any age
can play the game. The bowls
weigh about three pounds, and
you have to roll them between
eighty-five and one hundred feet.
It¹s an easy sport to learn, and it
can last you a life time. We have
bowlers in their high eighties still
playing. It¹s a good sport for the
hearing impaired since all of the
communications are done with
hand signals. If you think you
would like to try this great sport,
give Gene Plunkett a call at (626)
351-5327 and get the details.
You¹ll wonder why you didn¹t
play the game sooner. Fun is
guaranteed. Lawn bowling is
happy times with good friends.
Try it, you¹ll love it. See you on
the greens.
