2nd Story Art Gallery
Watercolor and oil paintings
by artist Kathy Pate and stained
glass panels by craftsman Robert
Miller will be the featured art in
the 2nd Story Art Gallery on the
evenings of August 10, 11th &
17,18th. The San Dimas Festival of Arts invites the public to
come and enjoy these works of art
from 5:30-8:30 p.m. in the Walker
House, 121 N. San Dimas Ave.,
San Dimas. There is no charge for
coming and viewing the art. Hors
d’oeuvres and wine are available
on the Friday evenings.
Robert Miller started doing
stained glass art in the year 2000
when his wife got him interested
as a hobby - and he has been
enthusiastic ever since. After
retirement he has been able to
devote more time to doing commissioned work which entails
drawing a number of sketches
and the cutting of numerous glass
pieces. Miller considers doing
stained glass art a lot of fun.
One of the characteristics of
artist Kathy Pate’s style of painting are the bright, vivid colors portrayed in her watercolors and oils.
Working from her photographs of
horses, rodeo scenes and wildlife,
Kathy’s paintings provide the attention to detail gained from her
experience as a dedicated horse
owner and rider. She received her
Master of Fine Arts degree from
Cal State U., Fullerton and has
taught drawing, painting, color
theory and two dimensional design at Mt. San Antonio College
and Cal State U. A few of her
noted clients include Santa Anita
Race Tract, Hollywood Park Turf,
Club, NTRA, Del Mar Thorough
bred Club, Lone Star Park, TX
plus commissioned work. Her art
has been featured on Channel 7
News, Equine Images magazine
and numerous other Horse and
Horse Racing magazines. Kathys
goals are to improve upon capturing the beauty of animals through
H.E.R.O.E.S. Water Fountain Nears Completion
Recently Eddie Martinez of
EM3 Group visited Water Studio of Culver City to see how the
Scuptured Water Feature, for the
Veterans Monument, was coming along. Martinez designed the
water feature which is being constructed by Water Studio.
Water Studio designs and creates contemporary water features
and fountains for indoor and outdoor spaces. Their custom water
features are architecturally integrated and site-specific, considering both the spatial function and
viewer experience. Their work
ranges from small to large-scale
water walls and sculptures to architectural fountains and pools
with fire.
Funds are still needed to complete the installation of the water
feature. It is hoped that the additioinal monies can be raised in
time to have the water feature
From the initial concept to
final installation, Water Studio
provides clients with unsurpassed
service and the highest level of detail. Their collaborative approach
combined with our extensive experience and knowledge, result
in expertly executed projects that
embody the highest standards of
design, engineering, and craftsmanship.

The next phase will include two
more smaller walls, on each side

Meals on Wheels Thanks It’s Volunteers:
Vilija Schlueter Honored as “Volunteer of the Year”
added to her responsibilities by
becoming the “Birthday Florist.”
She makes sure that on a client’s birthday, one of her beautiful
flower arrangements will be delivered along with their meal.
Our “Volunteer of the Year” could
also be named “Mother and Wife
of the Year” if you talk to her family! Vilija has been married to Mark
Schlueter for 30 years. They have a
great story to tell about their accidental meeting: Vilija, who had been
living in Boulder, Colorado was moving to California, and Mark, who was
moving from Iowa to California, met
when each of them stopped along the
way at Lake Tahoe. They learned that
both of them were headed to be near
family members in Glendora. Four
months after they met, they became
engaged, and then married the following year. Mark says that “Vilija is
thesweetest and kindest person in the
whole world.”
They have three children;
“Vilija Schlueter, Meals on Wheels Volunteer of the Year (front) is
surrounded by her family; daughters Lindsey, Lisa, and husband
Mark Schlueter.”
La Verne/San Dimas Meals on
Wheels recently held their annual
“Luau Party” to celebrate the 9th
Anniversary of offering meal delivery service to our community, and
to honor our many Volunteers.
The success of this non-profit
group is due to it’s wonderful Volunteers who deliver hot-lunches 5
days a week; on holidays, 100 degree days, or rainy, cold days. The
highlight of this annual event is to
honor the “Volunteer of the Year.”
Vilija Schlueter, a 26-year resident of San Dimas, received this
honor for 2012.
She began volunteering for
Meals on Wheels (MOW) about 5
years ago, after she had seen an
information booth about the program at the San Dimas Family
Festival. She was drawn to this
group because her grandmother
had received Meals on Wheels,
and her Aunt currently is a Meals
on Wheels Volunteer in Lomita,
CA. She knew what an important
role the organization and the Volunteers had meant to her grandmother.
Vilija started out as a once-aweek Volunteer with MOW. But
as the need for more Volunteers
increased, Vilija’s time commitment to the organization also increased.
She took on the job of Day Captain, which requires a great deal
of paperwork to order the proper
amount of meals each day, always with an eye on the dietary
challenges of each recipient. She
daughters Lindsey, and Lisa, and
son Jason, who lives with his wife
in Arizona. When asked about her
mother, Lisa said, “She is my rolemodel. I hope to be just like her
one day.” And in fact both girls just
might be, because both are also
frequent and enthusiastic helpers
at Meals on Wheels. If a delivery
route has no driver or navigator,
they will fill in to get the meals delivered. Meals on Wheels is happy
to honor Vilija this year, as well as
her lovely family!
La Verne/San Dimas Meals on
Wheels provides hot lunchtime
meals Monday through Friday to
residents of San Dimas and La
Verne who are housebound or
unable to prepare themselves a
meal. For information about having meals delivered for yourself,
a friend or relative, or for information on becoming a Volunteer,
call the Meals on Wheels message
line at (909) 596-1828. Leave your
phone number and someone will
call you back. Visit our website at

July 1St California State Law Requires Health
Insurance Providers To Cover Autism Treatment
California Gov. Jerry Brown
signed SB 946 into effect on October 11, 2011. The new law is effective as of July 1, 2012 through
July 1, 2014. The bill mandates
health insurance providers to
cover behavioral health treatments for children diagnosed with
autism.
CARD treats individuals of all
ages with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) around the globe,
with 23 treatment centers and a
staff of nearly 1,000. CARD was
founded in 1990 by leading autism expert and clinical psychologist Doreen Granpeesheh, PhD,
BCBA-D. CARD treats autism
using the principles and procedures of applied behavior analysis
(ABA), which has been empirically proven to be the most effective method for treating individuals with autism. The American
Academy of Pediatrics and the US
Surgeon General also recommend
ABA.

San Dimas Chamber of Commerce Corner
Chairman’s
Message
Chamber Hosting Coffee Hour –
August 14
We’ve all seen it before. A
cute little dress boutique opens
downtown, struggles for a couple
of years and then closes. Shoppers
flock to the going-out-of-business
store expressing condolences
while rifling through the racks.
“Oh, I loved your store.” “Oh, I’m
so sorry you’re closing.” Of course,
the owner is thinking, “Where
were you when I needed you?”
Small businesses are the economic lifeblood of a community
and a nation. Small businesses
provide jobs for more than half
the nation’s private workforce and
they have provided three-quarters
of the net employment growth
since the end of the economic
downturn, according to the US
Small Business Administration.
With that in mind, the San
Dimas Chamber of Commerce
will launch a “Shop Local” campaign later this year to encourage
members to support local businesses. Watch the chamber website www.sandimaschamber.com,
Facebook page and The Pioneer
for details coming soon.
Meanwhile, keep in mind that
one of the beauties of small businesses is their flexibility. If the
corner drugstore or hair salon
doesn’t carry the products you use,
ask if they would consider stocking those items. If you’ve been
avoiding your favorite sandwich
shop because its menu is a little on
the heavy side, ask the owner to
add a plate that’s tasty but lower
in calories.
Find reasons to shop local not
excuses why you don’t.
The San Dimas Chamber of
Commerce is excited to bring
people and opportunities together
with this new event. You can call
it a social hour, a networking hour
or a great way to start the morning hour. No reservations needed,
as there is no set agenda. Just
come on down and visit with other
San Dimas Chamber members,
exchange business cards, talk
shop or just relax and enjoy the
coffee. You never know who you
might meet or what doors may
be opened unless you join us for a
morning coffee.
Our Chamber Coffee Hour will
be held on Tuesday, August 14 at
the San Dimas Chamber of Commerce office, which is located at
Elaine Regus, ERPR
Here’s to good business.

The SGV Economic Partnership
Congratulates the City of
Pomona:
Pomona Approves Construction
of a New State of the Art Transfer
Station
Irwindale — The San Gabriel
Valley Economic Partnership
(Partnership) realizing the necessity to build a waster transfer station in the San Gabriel Valley supported the creation of the Pomona
Valley Transfer Station.
The pending closure of the
Puente Hills landfill has communities throughout Southern California looking for ways to better
manage their waste handling. A
soft economy has those same communities looking for ways to create jobs.
In Pomona, a newly approved
waste transfer station by Industry-based Valley Vista Services
will do both, while also pumping
$1 million a year into city coffers.
Nearly a decade in the making,
the $15.5 million facility could be
operational in about a year, producing 50 jobs and processing up
to 1,000 tons of solid waste per
day.
The City Council approved the
proposal and work could begin
within a few months.
The Pomona Valley Transfer
Station will be fully enclosed and
use the latest in trash processing,
emissions and odor-removal technology. Valley Vista’s plans went
through an exhaustive environmental impact study process, and
was determined to pose no significant health or environmental
risks.
The Pomona facility also
comes amid high unemployment
throughout Southern California
as the recession lingers. The plant
will create approximately 50 jobs
directly, while indirectly supporting another 98 jobs locally and
118 jobs regionally, according to
a study by Andrew Chang & Co.
The same study projected a local
economic impact of $33 million
per year, and another $39.9 million regionally.
Transfer fees from the facilities
operations, meanwhile, will provide the city with about $1 million
a year – mitigating some of the
loss from the elimination of redevelopment agencies.
About the San Gabriel Valley
Economic Partnership
The San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership is a regional,
not-for-profit corporation committed to the continued successful
economic development of the San
Gabriel Valley. A collaboration of
business, local government, colleges, and universities, the Partnership pursues this commitment
through three key areas of focus:
providing professional business
assistance, advocating public policy and marketing the San Gabriel
Valley. For more information, contact the San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership at (626) 8563400 or visit its web site at www.

San Dimas Chamber of Commerce Corner
Notes from the City Manager
The financial relationship between local government (counties and cities) and the state has
experienced strain and challenge
for decades. Because of the hierarchy of government, the state of
California has exercised its authority and strategy when fiscal
challenges have faced the state.
Local Government, schools and
other critical services provided
locally have played the waiting
game - to see either how much
the state was going to financially
take away or allow an agency
to have as the state unilaterally acted to gather up resources
from any source to survive yet
another budget crisis. It started
in the 80’s by commandeering
certain tax revenues and became more aggressive in the mid
90’s with millions coming from
local government property tax
revenues and redevelopment
agencies – in 1993-94 $2.6 billion
was transferred. In subsequent
years permanent transfers of local government revenue to the
state were set in place.
The pattern continued as often as a fiscal crisis was identified. In 2008 and 2010, Local
Government successfully asked
voters to confirm that city revenues belong to cities and that
they should not be commandeered by the state. Working
around those provisions, the
state acted to eliminate Redevelopment Agencies in 2011 in an
effort to capture any available
money to offset other state financial obligations. In that action,
the state decided that the process to end redevelopment would
not allow for a city to continue
receiving payment from loans
the city made to its own redevelopment agency. There was hope
that the state would change
these provisions and provide
that cities would be repaid their
own money. However, the provisions adopted by the state on
June 27, 2012 effectively closed
the door on cities being repaid
their own money. San Dimas
has loaned $14.6 million to its
agency and was receiving annual loan payments totaling $1.257
million. The state has denied
the payment of these funds. Directly, and solely because of this
action, the city recently reduced
its workforce 15%. In the meantime, we will pursue all available
legal options to have the city’s
money repaid. Please feel free to
contact us at city hall with any
questions (909) 394-6200.

School, have done a great job. Attendance remained high, with
over 1,500 students attending
the summer school programs.
Students had a variety of opportunities to take get-ahead and
make-up classes. San Dimas
High School offered an American
Sign Language I class, which was
attended by students from Bonita
High School and San Dimas High
School. At Bonita High School, an
SAT test preparation class was offered through DeVry Institute for
all students in the District. Students needing to make-up credit
had choices that included classroom instruction, independent
study, and on-line classes. High
school students will return to their
campuses in August ready for a
successful school year.

Hours
Extended School Year
The extended school year for
special education students K-8
was held at Roynon Elementary
School. Over 100 students participated and received all of the instructional services mandated on
their IEPs such as speech therapy
and occupational therapy. Students were busy in classrooms
focused on both English language
arts and math. A variety of programs were offered including
those for the communicatively
handicapped (CH), Preschool Autism, and Special Day Classes.
School Age Care
The summer School Age Care
Program completed their first
five-week session, averaging
200 students in attendance each
week. The second session began
July 16 with a new team of site
supervisors, giving more opportunity for summer employment for
school age care staff. The program
is providing our students with a
rich variety of activities including:
swimming, bowling, roller skating, a trip to Scandia, a trip to the
Long Beach Aquarium, as well as
entertaining assemblies brought
to the children participating in the
program such as Mad Science, a
magic show, and a carnival.
School Facilities
Schools throughout the District
are undergoing a variety of maintenance projects this summer to
keep them looking good and running efficiently. Carpet cleaning
activities are happening districtwide. Specific school site projects
include painting, roofing and asphalt repairs. The wind-damaged
classroom at Shull School is being
repaired. Custodians at the school
sites are cleaning the classrooms
and multipurpose rooms to have
them ready when students return
for the start of school.
Technology
The technology staff has been
working diligently on several projects this summer to prepare for
the 2012-13 school year. Several
schools will be piloting an environmentally-friendly, paperless online registration process. Internet
access has been enhanced for all
school sites in order to increase educational performance by utilizing
the Internet. Core servers have
been upgraded to increase performance for all students and staff
and will allow a variety of devices
to function within our network
with minimal restrictions, thus
enhancing the learning/teaching
process in the classrooms. The
implementation of a new finance/
accounting software program is
in process. This new software will
standardize the administrative
staff with today’s most current
technology. In addition, preparation is taking place for the use of
iPads for instructional purposes
in many classrooms across the
District.
Bonita Unified hires Patrick
McKee as new principal La Verne
Heights Elementary School.
La Verne Heights Elementary School welcomes Patrick
McKee as the new principal for
the 2012/2013 school year. McKee
has eight years of administrative
experience in the Colton Joint
Unified School District, serving
as principal at Alice Birney Elementary School since 2006. His
teaching experience includes eight
years in 3rd through 5th grades.
McKee joins the Bonita Unified
team just after La Verne Heights
Elementary School was named a
California Distinguished School.
“My plan is to join the momentum
of Education (CDE) June 14, all Bonita Unified Schools ranked
“7” out of “10” or better when compared to schools statewide.
Three of our schools earned “10’s” and four schools earned “9’s”
“For the district as a whole, we are pleased that we continue
year after year to have schools with the 10 ranking and that all
of our schools have a statewide ranking of 7 or better,” Senior
Director for Secondary Education Mark Rodgers said.
The CDE establishes rankings of all schools statewide in
the same grade span (elementary, middle, high school) based
on API scores. Schools are listed in rank order and assigned a
number that indicates their place in the sequence. A “10” is the
highest ranking, and indicates the school is in the top 10% of
API scores. Specific scores for each Bonita Unified school are
shown below.

to joining the team at Bonita Unified, which he says is known for
its “family atmosphere, positive

between schools, families and the
community.”
CDE Rates Bonita Schools
Among
Top Statewide
According to records released by the California Department
at Bonita High School and San
Dimas High School funded by
Measure AB continue to progress. Ground breaking for the
Performing Arts Center will
begin early this fall. Meanwhile, the Facilities Department of Bonita Unified is using
the summer months to repair
and maintain District facilities. From painting walls to
cleaning carpets, the staff will
be working hard to prepare
each campus for a fresh start
in August.
The new gym and landscaping at Bonita High School
will be completed in September. Athletes and coaches will
have access to the building in
mid-August. San Dimas High
School’s gym expansion has
been delayed due to the default of the electrical contractor. District officials are currently working with the Surety

to get a new contractor for the
project. The stadium project
will be completed in time for
the Saint’s first home football
game.
The Performing Arts Center
(PAC), which will be housed
on San Dimas High School’s
campus, but used by all schools
as well as the community, will
be built throughout the school
year. District officials hope to
open the facility for use in the
2013/2014 school year. A parking lot was installed on the
north side of the school last
year in order to provide the
campus with uninterrupted
parking during the PAC’s construction.
The Facilities Department
will complete several of the
same projects at all district
schools. These projects include
stripping and waxing the vinyl
floors, cleaning carpets, and
trimming, planting and removing trees. Staff will oversee
the roof repairs at Gladstone
and Allen Avenue Elementary
Schools, the Ed Jones Educational Center and Bonita High
School.
Other projects at the high
school campuses include painting BHS, repairing concrete
at SDHS and BHS, assisting
with upgrades to field house at
SDHS, installing wrought iron
gates at BHS, pouring concrete
at the Ed Jones Educational
Center and the District Office.
Projects at the middle and
elementary school campuses
include repairing the roof and
a classroom at Shull Elementary School, landscaping at Lone
Hill Middle School, installing a
new planter at Oak Mesa Elementary, sealing and striping
playgrounds at Oak Mesa and
Ekstrand Elementary Schools,
and sealing and striping parking lots at Grace Miller and
Allen Avenue Elementary
Schools.

NEWS FROM THE BONITA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Summer school serves student needs
High Schools provide options for earning credits
Bonita Unified high school
students are showing their commitment to graduating on time
and pursuing advanced classes.
Bonita High School and San Dimas High School offered courses
funded through the District and
also courses funded through a
partnership with Mt. San Antonio
tives, and Regional Occupation
Program (ROP) courses.
Summer classes at the high
schools provide for both academic
acceleration and remediation.
“Get ahead” classes give students
opportunities to complete required
credits early so that they can take
AP classes and specialized elec-
Over 1600 summer school students in grades 9-12 are keeping their
academic skills active through courses funded by Bonita Unified.
Others are learning unique skills like sign language through courses
offered by Mt. Sac.
College. BUSD offered 22 courses
with 809 students enrolled. Mt.
Sac offered an additional 17 courses with 655 students enrolled.
Nearly 150 students at the Ed
Jones Center are working on credit recovery through a combination
of classroom, online and independent study curriculum. At all
three campuses, courses included
accelerated and make-up curriculum in math, English, science, foreign language, social studies, elec-
tive classes that are only offered
during the school year. “Make-up”
classes allow students who did
not pass a class during the school
year, to have an opportunity to
earn the credits and stay on track
for graduation.
“We appreciate how hard students work to stay on track for
graduation and want to provide
as many motivating opportunities as possible,” Senior Director of

Elementary Schools provide
enrichment
Summer library program is
an easy read: For the third year
in a row, all eight of the Bonita
Unified elementary schools have
opened their libraries for use during the summer. Students may
check out books and complete Accelerated Reader (AR) tests at any
school library in the district. All
students, grades 1-5, were given
summer AR goals before the close
of the 2011/2012 school year to
guide their book choices.
Local restaurant owners have
added incentives to young readers
who participate in the program.
Judy Moore, co-owner of Café
Cabo in La Verne offers a free
Kid’s Meal to any student who
reads five books and completes
five Accelerated Reader tests with
a grade of 85% or better.
“I believe so strongly in education and reading,” Moore said.
“When my kids were little, I took
them to the public library. At that
time they offered a free ice cream
cone from 31 Flavors and that
meant so much to my kids. My
husband and I and all of our wait
staff make such a big deal when
the kids come in, asking them
about what they’ll be reading next
and praising them for their accomplishment. Every one needs a
little push.”
Moore offered the same reward
last summer, seeing over 60 kids
accomplish the goal. She has organized a Let’s Eat Out Night
on August 13 after the summer
program ends. For all diners who
present a special flyer available
at each library, Moore will donate
20% of the cost of their meal to
Bonita Unified School District.
McDonalds, Golden Spoon, Applebee’s, Baskin Robins, Carl’s Jr.
and In-n-Out restaurants in the
area are also supporting the program with awards.
At least one library is open
every day of the week. “Benefits
of the program include keeping
students engaged with reading
throughout the summer which

makes a difference in the ongoing
momentum of learning,” Senior
Director of Elementary Education Nan Hall said. “Parents must
attend with their children—between this and the chance to earn
free meals out, we’re creating
some great opportunities for family time.”

Summer Camp still open:
School Age Care provides a safe,
fun, engaging place for students
to spend their summers while
moms and dads are busy at work.
The program will end August 16,
but it’s not too late to participate.
Students can attend one week at a
time and can sign up at the School
Age Care Office at the District Of-
fice.
Educational experiences include three Mad Science assemblies: “Crazy ChemWorks,” “Fire
and Ice,” and “Electricity.” Entertainment includes a magic show
and weekly field trips to the city
pool and the local theatre for a
summer movie series.
Off-campus field trips include
special visits to Café Cabo Restaurant for breakfast and education about restaurant careers and
nutrition, Scandia Amusement
Park, Pump-It-Up Inflatable
Bouncers, Skate Express, Adventure City Amusement Park,
Chaparral Lanes, and the Long
Beach Aquarium.
The program has a total enrollment of 325 Kindergarten to 8th
grade students. For more information, contact School Age Care
Coordinator Christine Black at

San
Dimas High School increases grad rate by 4.4%
According to records released by the California Department of Education (CDE) last week, both Bonita
High School and San Dimas High School have higher graduation rates and lower dropout rates than in the
previous year. San Dimas High School saw the greatest growth with a 4.4% increase in graduation rates and
3% decrease in dropout rates.

Senior Director for Secondary Education Mark Rodgers attributes the success to “a combination of solid
first-time instruction combined with targeted intervention.” One point of intervention focuses on the California High School Exit Exam (CASHEE) for juniors and seniors who fail on their first or second attempt and
sophomores who appear to be at risk. Additionally, freshmen are given a practice test to give them experience
with the test.
“At San Dimas High School, we have renewed our efforts to contact parents when students are not being
successful,” Principal Michael Kelly said. “Teachers, counselors, staff and administrators know that working
hand in hand with the parent can make a difference in the learning of a child. We use email, an online grade
book, phone calls and face-to-face conferences to ask parents what works with their child, and to help the
student understand the importance of schoolwork.”
The CDE has monitored graduation and dropout rates for the classes of 2010 and 2011, but not for earlier
classes. This is the first year of comparative data.

For many delicious reasons,
the “Reader’s Choice, Best Casual Dining Restaurant in 2011’s
Award from Inland Empire
Magazine, went to La Paloma, in
La Verne, home of “fine Mexican
Dining since 1966.” The original owners, Joe and Hortencia
Parker, have passed the recipes of
Grandmother Maria Fajardo and
the ‘restaurant gene’ to daughter,
our host, Cindy Jajicek and her
siblings. Generous portions, amiable service and consistently delightful meals are the trademark
of La Paloma, a tradition which
will continue to endear clientele,
new and returning, into La Paloma’s Golden Anniversary in a few
years and beyond.
We sampled several menu
items and feel that Grandma
Maria would give her stamp of
approval (as she gave the original
restaurant it’s name and culinary
treasures in Miami, Arizona so
many years ago.) Rice and beans
are the staple of a Mexican restaurant; abuelita Maria understood-you have to get them right. La
Paloma does exactly that: cookbooks refer to rice cooked as it is
at La Paloma, by chefs Hector Paz
and Juan Hernandez, as a “dry
soup” meaning that the dish can
be served by itself (after the “wet
soup”) and that the broth is absorbed and the grains stand apart.
Don’t worry, kitchen veterans of
almost 30 years each, Hector and
Juan have shown that “fluffy and
August 2012
tasty” is what you will remember.
The beans, lightly and rightly
topped with cheese, are another
flavor to savor; once it is sampled,
it enters our culinary memory
in the category of ‘satisfying and
nurturing’. Folks, long living out
of the area, make a detour part
of their travel plans to relive that
culinary pleasure. The rice and
beans travel well and are delicious
with fried eggs the next day.
One of La Paloma’s recent
menu additions was Camarones
al Cilantro ($15.99); an instant
and aromatic favorite of perfectly
grilled shrimp sautéed with onion,
garlic, lemon juice and cilantro-- a
great summer dish. The Tilapia
de Acapulco ($11.50) was equal
in delight; the tequila lime sauce
complemented the delicate taste
of the tilapia without overpowering it. Hot tortillas are served
with the entrees: be creative and
roll your own combination of the
tender fish, rice, beans and salsa
for a treat.
I always order “mole” (MOHleh), usually chicken, as a test of
the Mexican restaurants I visit,
knowing that like all traditional
festive dishes, the fare presented
varies from region to region, much
as it does in our own 50 states.
Most holiday meals in Mexico feature mole with turkey. The uninitiated may balk at the concept
of chocolate being part of a sauce
for poultry—one small cube is my
answer. The famous teacher of
Mexican cuisine, Jane Kennedy,
mentions in her 1973 cookbook,
“...in Mexico we used to grind
toasted cacao beans for the mole...
as in other Mexican sauces it goes
into a large casserole...the seasonings and spices are not used with
such a heavy hand that they vie
with each other for recognition,
but rather build up to a harmonious whole.” La Paloma passed the
“mole” (trans.concoction) test with
flying colors.
On lighter notes, we could
recommend the Mango Chicken
Quesadilla ($8.50); the sweet accents of fresh mango were reviving on a hot summer day. Potato
tacos at $2.35 would be a homey
breakfast or lunch treat, added
to a side of beans and rice, or any
other a la carte item. The kids will
be happy. One Dad sitting near us
said to the three ‘under twelves’ he
brought with him, “Are you hungry, or are you really hungry,” as
he passed them the menu. Kid’s
Plate is $3.99, and operates on
a ‘build your own platter’ choosing personal favorites, it includes
beans and rice or fries. Everybody
is happy.
Flan, or Mexican custard,
($4.55) is a wonderful finish to a
satisfying meal. Once again La
Paloma gets it right; just the right
amount of sweet caramel to complement the satiny texture of the
custard. The other dessert we will
have to return for is Kahlua pie—
frozen Kahlua mousse ($4.99),
does that sound like a special occasion or what. Server, Marsha
Felix, working at La Paloma since
a teenager (42 years ago) has seen
many customers who return for
family anniversaries, celebrations, and just because it’s La Paloma and tasty.
We were also curious about
Manager, Steve Love’s recommendation of La Paloma’s “WorldFamous Cadillac Margarita. Not
able to imbibe while doing research for this column, we had to
respect the opinions of someone
who has been at this classic Foothill restaurant for 38 years. For a
return visit, this favorite (at $10 a
large glass) is made with Gold Tequila and orange liqueur. “More
flavors available,” he said. So,
‘Hasta la vista, baby’.
La Paloma has some booths for
dining in the full bar area which is
popular for lunch dining but ample seating is available at booths
or tables in the dining room. Call
ahead to arrange for large groups.
There is catering and take-out
from the full menu. Excellent
parking, located at 2975 Foothill
Boulevard in La Verne, 91750.

La Verne-based David & Margaret Youth and Family Services
is pleased to welcome four new
members to its Board of Directors.
“With me, you get a jack-of-alltrades because my background
varies,” says Darcy Coulter,
Human Resources Manager at
Southern California Edison. The
Montclair resident spent 18 years
with the Federal Reserve Bank,
entrusted with the second largest cash vault in the country. She
also served as the interim executive director for a local nonprofit
that serves special-needs children.
“It’s important to know what your
passion is and align it with the
nonprofit,” she says of her interest
in needy populations in the community. At David & Margaret,
she adds, “we’re going to serve
the folks who are underserved.
We don’t look at the color of their
skin; we ask, do you have a need
that we can satisfy?” Coulter holds
master’s degrees in both education and business administration.
Régan Pope represents the
United Methodist Women Riverside Conference on the Board.
(David & Margaret was established by the Women’s Home
Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, on land
provided by a generous donor, to
create an orphanage for needy
children. UMW, which evolved
from that group, retains a permanent seat on the agency’s Board.)
Pope holds a bachelor’s degree in
biology from Paul Quinn College
in Texas and a master’s in counseling psychology from California
Baptist University. She currently
is a marriage and family therapy
intern at Chrysalis Family Counseling Center in Riverside. Pope
also serves on the UMW Conference Executive Board and the
NAACP’s ACT-SO Program, also
in Riverside.
Jerry Watkins’ long history
with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family
Services drives his interest in the
clients at David & Margaret. He
started as a child welfare worker
working a variety of assignments,
and was later the director of a
county-operated treatment facility for short-term stays, and for
many years in child welfare adCont. page 14

1850
Census of Los Angeles County
By Paul McClure
In 1915, while shooting a picture about three miles from the
San Fernando Mission, movie
director Cecil B. DeMille noticed
the caretaker of a nearby adobe
ranch house burning rubbish. He
walked over to observe. A document in the fire caught his eye. He
pulled it out of the fire and took it
back to his studio.
That rescued document was
the original 1850 census of Los Angeles County. The report showed
518 dwellings and a population of
3,530. Indians were not counted.
In 1929, 14 years after discovery of this census report—“so
pregnant with rare sentimental
and historic information concerning early life here”—it was published by the Los Angeles Times
Press.
In 1850, Los Angeles County
extended south to San Diego
County. San Bernardino County
was chartered in 1853, Orange
County in 1889, and Riverside
County in 1893.
Following are the actual census data for local residents, from
left on the forms below: household
number, name, age, gender, occupation, value of assets, country
of birth, and “1” if over age 20 and
illiterate.
Cassiano Carrion, Laborer,
Rancho San Jose
In 1837, Don Ygnacio Palomares and Don Ricardo Vejar received the original San Jose Mexican land grant. Six years later, in
1843, Don Ygnacio and Doña Concepcion Lopez de Palomares gave
380 acres of the vast San Jose
Rancho to their 11 year old nephew, Saturnino Carrion, the son of
Cassiano and Josefa Carrion.
In 1865, Saturnino Carrion
hired an Italian architect to erect
the first professionally designed
house in the Pomona Valley, the
Carrion Adobe. The house was
laid out in an L-shape with 1½
stories surrounded by 92 feet of
cobblestone corridor.
Carrion later mortgaged the
property to raise funds to fight the
Puddingstone Reservoir Project.
In 1909, he lost both the battle to
stop construction of the dam and
his property. Saturnino Carrion
then moved to Pomona to live out
his life.
Ignacio Palamarez [Ygnacio
Palomares], Grazier, Rancho
San Jose
I n
1837,
Ygnacio Palomares
and his
partner Ricardo
Vejar
a c Ygnacio Palomares
quired
Rancho San Jose
Rancho San Jose that includes today’s communities of Pomona, La
Verne, San Dimas, Azusa, Covina,
Walnut, Glendora, and Claremont.
They added the 15,586-acre
San Jose Addition in 1840, and
by then their land covered much
of eastern Los Angeles County.
Initially the title was held jointly,
but eventually the two rancheros
divided Rancho San Jose with
Palomares taking the northern
portion and Vejar the southern
portion.
Palomares first built Casa
Primera, the Adobe de Palomares
along today’s Arrow Highway in
Pomona, which by 1854 had 15
rooms to accommodate his large
family. The structure used Mexican-era adobe construction along
with American-style milled roofing and flooring.

I n

R i cardo

and Ignacio
Palomares
were

d
Ricardo Vejar,
nearly
Rancho San Jose
31,550
acres, which they named Rancho
San Jose. In 1840, they added the
San Jose Addition. In 1847, Vejar alone purchased a portion of
Rancho Los Nogales (Spanish for
walnut).
Vejar became one of the
wealthiest men in Southern California. In 1858, he was the fourth
richest man in the county. He
enjoyed success and respect, personified the Spanish gentry, and
enjoyed the life of a don.
Then in 1863, creditors seized
his mortgaged property. Louis
Phillips acquired Vejar’s portion of
Rancho San Jose, which became
known as Phillips Ranch.
Vejar and his family were
forced to move to a small parcel
of land he owned in present-day
Walnut, and in 1882, he died in
modest circumstances.
Missing Demographic Data
Because the census report
gathered data from established
households, some segments of the
population were overlooked.
Indians: Newmark claimed
that the “Indian population…has
entirely disappeared from this
county, but for a very few scattered
individuals and half-breeds”—the
1850 census showed 334 Indians. However, an 1852 California
State Census counted 4,193 Indians in Los Angeles County.
The only Indians counted appeared to be those who lived within the households listed in the
census. Of the 334 Indians listed,
none was a head of household.
Slaves: Also omitted from the
census report were “slave inhabitants, the names of slave owners,
the number of slaves, a detailed
statement as to each slave, color,
sex, age, whether deaf and dumb,
blind, insane or idiotic; the number of fugitives from the State, and
the number manumitted [freed].
Since California was admitted as
a free State, she had no slaves or
slave owners [so those data] were
therefore eliminated from the official report.”
Transients: The census surveyed 518 households; those not
living in one of those enumerated
households were not counted. “It
may not be irrelevant to note, in
spite of the known prevalence, in
1850, of saloons, gambling houses,
and kindred resorts, that there is,
in the census, not the least mention of their existence.”
The census was gathered during the peak of the Gold Rush
when mobile miners poured into
California, making them difficult
to enumerate.
Indians, slaves, and transients
were not fully counted.
Miscellanea
Economy: “[C]attle, horses and
sheep were the most important
livestock products...barley, wheat,
and potatoes constituted an indifferent agricultural asset...wine
was pressed by the hundreds of
gallons in every hacienda of California.”
find no satisfaction in the blanks
of Schedule 6, which records no library and no newspaper.”
Religion: Los Angeles County
boasted three churches: Mission
San Gabriel Arcangel, Mission
San Fernando, and Nuestra Senora Reina de los Angeles at the
downtown plaza.
Crime: Editor Newmark wistfully wrote, “In the truly Arcadian
days of Los Angeles, ‘before the
gringo came,’ there was no pauperism, no crime, and no scale of
wages worth recording in an official federal census.”
A Window into the Past
Southwest Museum director
Hector Aliott observed that “some,
in the twilight of their activities,
witnesses of that remarkable social and economic phenomenon
[the Rancho Era], hark back lovingly to the romantic days of the
simpler, closer life of hospitality,
friendship, and trust which was
universal in El Pueblo de Nuestra
Senora Las Reina de Los Angeles,
in the year A.D. 1850.”

Health: “[W]hile there was
a large number of births and
frequent recurrence of twins in
certain families, the schedule of
‘cause of deaths’ generally dismissed such cases with the brief
statement ‘unknown.’”
Education: The census report
showed one teacher, one schoolmaster, and nine students, but no
schools. Of the 1,734 County residents over age 20, 1,118 (approximately two-thirds) were illiterate.
The data showed “an appalling illiteracy and no schools; the

Are
You a “Hands-on” Investor?
Submitted by Cindy Bollinger
Marketing Tips
The investment world can be
complex — so you may not want
to navigate it alone. But when it
comes to getting professional advice, you certainly have an abundance of choices. How can you
know which approach is right for
you?
The answer depends, to a large
extent, on how you choose to work
with a qualified financial advisor
— someone with the training and
experience to help you work toward your financial goals. When
you work with a financial advisor, he or she will analyze your financial situation — your income,
current assets, family status and
short- and long-term investment
goals, such as helping pay for your
children’s (or grandchildren’s) college education and attaining a
comfortable retirement.
You can choose different ways
of working with a financial advisor — and a deciding factor may
be how “hands on” you want to be
with your investment strategy. To
illustrate this concept, let’s look at
two common ways investors interact with financial advisors:
A & M Mailing Servicex, Inc.
Edward Jones Financial Advisor
• Taking recommendations and
making choices — After evaluating your financial situation, goals,
risk tolerance and time horizon,
your financial advisor can recommend appropriate investments.
Over time, your financial advisor will communicate with you
regularly to keep track of changes
in your life and to suggest any
changes you may need to make
in your portfolio. Of course, you
have the final say in accepting or
rejecting these recommendations,
which is why this method is considered a hands-on way to invest.
• Investing through a managed
account — In this situation, your
financial advisor will help you create, implement and refine your
long-term financial strategy, but
the money managers will make
the daily investment decisions,
relying on a variety of criteria
pertaining to your situation. For
example, if your portfolio has
become overweighted in a specific asset class, such as stocks or
bonds, and is no longer aligned
with your goals, it may automatically be brought back into balance.
So which method of investing
is better for you? There’s really no
one right answer for everyone. If
you’re the sort of person who likes
to make all your own decisions,
then you might be better off following the hands-on approach
with your financial advisor. On
the other hand, if you are particularly busy and just don’t feel
you have the time to be actively
involved with day-to-day investment decisions, you might want to
consider a managed account.
In any case, you’ll want to be
comfortable with the method of
investing that you’ve chosen. So
do your homework beforehand.
Whether you’re interested in a
hands-on relationship or a handsoff approach, you still need to interview several financial advisors
to find one who has worked with
people in your situation and who
seems genuinely interested in
helping you. During these interviews, make sure you understand
everything related to working
with a financial advisor — the fees
involved, the way decisions will be
communicated to you if you choose
a managed account, and so on.
Deciding how you want to invest is your first step in working
toward your financial goals — so
make the choice that’s right for
you.

Consumers
are people, too!
By Shorty Feldbush
This newspaper is really pretty
unique. It is being sent to EVERYONE in the community. It goes
to businesses
and to the
homes. And
while I have
been treating
subjects that
seem mainly
Shorty Feldbush
aimed at those
who are concerned with moving
products or generating income to
non-profits, I hope that the consumers who live in many of these
same households are benefiting as
well.
Let me explain my thinking on
this matter so you know why I say
what I have just said. If you have
read any of these “Marketing
Tips” over the years you should
have noted some things that are
treated generally as “in house”
business technical terms and
some of those may tend to open
your eyes as a consumer (the end
of the marketing chain) to actions
you had not considered before. In
the past you have simply been
content to allow “advertising” to
program your responses with
catchy creative text and graphics.
Now undoubtedly you must
know that you can jump on your
computer and do a Google Search
so that in a few minutes you will

Let
them eat (birthday) cake
By Tina Kerrigan
August is the birthday month
in our house. Both my husband
and I are August Leos.
Conversations about birthdays led to birthday cakes and
to the question:
Why birthday cakes?
For that matter, why celebrate birthTina Kerrigan
days at all?
Chances are, birthdays were
not celebrated in the early days
of civilization. Why not? No calendars. If you can’t keep track
of the days, months and years,
you don’t exactly know when
your birthday falls. The ancient
Egyptians were first to calculate
and use a solar based calendar.
It was later adopted by the Roman Empire. The Julian calendar, which, with some modifications, is still in use today, was
created by Julius Caesar (10044 B.C.). It was the first to have
a 365 day year (plus an extra
every four years).
With the advent of reliable
calendars, humanity could begin keeping accurate records of
significant happenings in the
world and our lives.
Ancient civilizations believed
that both good and evil spirits
appeared at birth and continued to have influence throughout life. Changes in life were
considered to be especially susceptible periods for these spirits
and birth anniversaries were
considered points of change.
Birthdays evolved to be celebratory gatherings of family and friends bringing good
thoughts, wishes, and gifts to
drive off the evil spirits.
Cakes were often brought
as gifts. Before the advent of
specialized pans, dough was
shaped by hand and the usual
shape was round. In ancient
Greece, Artemis, the moon goddess, was honored with cakes
covered in candles to simulate
the light of the moon.
As the candles were blown
out and the smoke rose to
the heavens, the worshippers
prayed for a gift from the goddess.
Much later, in Germany, it
was a tradition to place a single
large candle in the middle of the
cake as a symbol for the light of
life.
Page 15
Early birthday cakes were
similar to bread, sweetened
with honey and enriched with
dried fruits and nuts. Refined
sugar, rare and expensive, was
reserved for the rich and royal.
As sugar became more readily available, oven technology
developed, and cake “hoops” or
molds were used to shape the
finished product, cake making
became an art.
Victorian England was the
pinnacle of elaborate shaped,
filled and layered creations
to crown upper class dessert
tables.
Our birthday cakes of today,
whether simple or fancy, represent a long tradition going back
to, shall we say, the birth of civilization.
My husband’s favorite birthday cake, however, is pineapple

Sure, you can still go to the
“store” or maybe set an appointment for the salesman to come
by and give you a quote. Some
things can only be done in that
fashion. But in our age of data
abundance you are generally motivated to “get ‘er done”, so you do
your computer search, place your
order, send an electronic payment
and then email a follow-up if you
have not received your widget in
two days!! If you want to do business locally, then you will read
the ads in this newspaper and go
to their location or go to their web
site, which is usually in the fine
print at the bottom of the ad. You
will probably do some business
each way if you are the typical
consumer.
As more social networks are
established you’ll probably do
less searching. You can now see
and hear immediately from your
“friends” about the latest thing
that tickled their fancy and you
sure don’t want to be left behind.
It’s a great new world for marketing, as long as you use the old
proven concepts and apply them
to our new environment. As a
“buyer” just try to be a wise consumer and don’t be misled, no
matter which road you travel.

Increasing
Awareness Of
Kidney
Disease
Baldwin Park — More than
26 million American adults have
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
and most don’t even know it. Millions of others are at an increased
risk for developing CKD and its
complications. Early detection
and treatment can keep kidney
disease from getting worse and
prevent complications like kidney
failure, heart disease, and premature death. Thanks to the efforts
of several nonprofit organizations,
members of the local community
recently had an opportunity to receive a kidney disease prescreening.
Jason David’s Corner’s Foundation in partnership with Buddhist Tzu Chi Free Clinic, Our
Saviour Center/Cleaver Family
Wellness Clinic, and Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical
Center hosted a Kidney Disease
Prescreening Day, June 30. The
prescreening day was open to underserved, high-risk members of
the community. An impressive 60
individuals received a prescreening. Kaiser Permanente Baldwin
Park nurses and general volunteers conducted the screenings.
Kaiser Permanente Baldwin
Park physician volunteers will review the questionnaires to determine if a full screening is required.
Individuals identified in need of a
full screening will be referred to
a free kidney disease screening
day this fall. Additionally, those
who stopped by received various
educational materials about the
disease as well as information regarding the services offered by the
participating agencies.
“Chronic kidney disease is a
very common but silent disease,”
explains Mark Rutkowski, MD,
a nephrologist at Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park. “Early findings will help individuals slow the
disease down, so screenings are
very important. We are delighted
that we were able to provide 60
prescreenings to help improve the
health of individuals from our local communities.”
Increased risk factors for CKD
include diabetes, high blood pressure, heart or blood vessel problems, a family history of CKD, and
65 years of age or older. It is also
more common in African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian
or Pacific Islanders, and American Indians.
Finding a cure for kidney
disease is dear to Jason David,
founder of Jason David’s Corner
Foundation and former Cornerback with the New Orleans
Saints and Superbowl XLI Champion with the Indianapolis Colts,
because of his beloved cousin Segun “Shay” Ukome Moruka, who
passed away from kidney disease
in 2007.
“I am so excited to bring a
screening day to the community
that my cousin and I grew up in!
I believe it can save lives and I am
fortunate to have the opportunity
to partner with Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park, Buddhist Tzu
Chi Free Clinic, and Our Saviour
Center/Cleaver Family Wellness
Clinic. Together, we can make a
difference,” says Jason David.

Our Food Industry and the
Obesity Epidemic
Jordan Nichols, CSCS
The food industry will blame
our current obesity epidemic on
personal responsibility and making good choices. They will say
you need to exercise more and eat
less, but in reality gym memberships and weight loss programs
such as Jenny Craig are raking
in profits at historic levels, in fact,
health club industry revenues
have exploded
from two hundred million in
1972 to an estimated nineteen billion in
2010. Today
the
largest
Jordan Nichols
percentage
ever of any given population is
currently involved in some type of
physical activity. So, if sedentary
behavior makes us fat and physical activity prevents it, shouldn’t
this so called “exercise explosion”
have launched an epidemic of
leanness rather than an epidemic
of obesity? It is not the consumer’s
fault that we are now engineering
our foods to be highly addictive,
last longer and stay fresher. The
fact is the food industry is responsible for making the worst foods
the cheapest, and this is no accident the worst foods just so happen to be heavily subsidized.
As humans we are hardwired
to go for three tastes which are
salt, fat and sugar which used to
be very rare in nature. Now sugar
and salt is available twenty four
seven and in tremendous quantities where the average person is
now eating hundreds of pounds
of this stuff a year. These diets of
refined carbohydrates and high
fructose corn syrup will lead to
spikes of insulin which will gradually wear down the way our body
metabolizes sugar. The problem
with foods high in fructose is that
this type of carbohydrate goes directly to the liver to be processed;
unfortunately the liver does not
have nearly as high a storage capacity as the muscles do for glucose. This means that when you
consume high fructose foods you
are more likely to see an increase
in body fat accumulation once the
storage needs are met, the liver
will start converting the remaining fructose into triglycerides.
Our whole farming industry has turned to bigger, faster,
cheaper which is making us fatter.
It seems that no one cares about
type II diabetes and whether the
ecological health of the whole system will sustain itself over time.
In most poor societies you now
see, simultaneously, obesity and
malnutrition. You see malnutrition in children and obesity in
adults and that directly relates
to what is cheapest to eat which
just happens to be the worst food
for you. Type II diabetes usually
only affected adults but now it is
affecting children at epidemic levels. According to the World Health
Organization one in three Americans born after the year 2000 will
contract early onset diabetes and
in minorities the rate will be one
in two.
It is really up to us to change
the system. We need to start to
buy from companies that treat
workers, animals and the environment with respect. We need to buy
organic foods and spport our local
farmers markets and learn what
is in your food. Our children are
not lab rats and should not be eating genetically engineered foods.
Do not leave your health to some
big profit-hungry corporation
thousands of miles away where
they do not have to live with the
consequences of the decisions that
they make. It is up to us to change
the system and we could make a
huge difference by voting with our
wallet three times a day!
At Heart Fit, our results driven approach covers every aspect
necessary to achieve your goals,
whether they involve weight loss,
sports performance or a healthier
lifestyle. If you are looking to lose
weight or need a jump-start to
get back into shape, our highly
qualified trainers will provide the
knowledge and the means to help
you become fit and stay that way.

MEDICARE
Medicare Is A Health Insurance Program For;
1. People age 65 or older.
2. People under age 65 with
certain disabilities.
3.
People of all
ages
with
certain
types of diseases such
as
EndStage Renal
Waites Williams Disease.
Medicare Has Two (2) Parts.
1.Part A (Hospital Insurance)
Most people do not have to pay for
Part A.
2. Part B (Medical Insurance)
Most people pay monthly for Part
B.
MEDICARE – PART A
Medicare – Part A (Hospital Insurance). Most people receive Part A automatically when
they turn age 65 because they or a
spouse paid Medicare taxes while
they were working. If you do not
automatically receive premium
free Part A you may be able to
purchase it if you or your spouse
are 65 or older and are not entitled to Social Security or if you
are disabled but no longer receive
premium free Part A because you
returned to work.
Part A (Hospital Insurance) Coverage
1. Care in a hospital as an inpatient.
2. Small facilities that give
limited outpatient and inpatient services to people in rural areas.
3. Skilled nursing facilities
that are not custodial or longterm care.
4. Hospice care.
MEDICARE – PART B
Medicare – Part B (Medical
Insurance). Enrolling in Part B is
your choice. You can/may enroll for
Part B anytime during a 7 month
period that begins 3 months before you turn 65. If you have Part
B, you pay a Part B premium
each month. Most people will pay
the monthly standard premium
of roughly $99.90. If your income
is above $85,000.00 (single) or
$170,000.00 (married), then your
Medicare Part B premium may
be higher than the monthly standard premium of $99.90. Social
Security will contact some people
who have to pay more depending
on their income.
In some cases, the monthly
standard premium may be higher
if you did not choose Part B when
you first became eligible at age 65.
The cost of Part B may go up 10%
for each 12 month period that you
could have had Part B but did not
sign up for it except in special cases. You will have to pay the extra
10% as long as you have Medicare
Part B.

San
Dimas
Community
Hospital celebrated the grand
opening of its newly renovated,
11,500-square-foot west wing
with a reception and ribbon cutting on July 26.
“This project is the culmination of three years of planning and
reflects San Dimas Community
Hospital’s commitment to meeting the growing demands of the
community,” CEO Gregory Brentano said.
The 37-bed unit includes 16,
semi-private, patient rooms, an
isolation room and a new physical therapy facility. Rooms are
equipped with advanced bedside
monitoring and European style
toilet and shower rooms.
“Since we have no more than
two patients and frequently only
one patient to a room, our nurses
will be able to speak more openly
to our patients without issues of
privacy and will be able to elicit
better responses from our patients
about the care they require,”
Brentano said.
An open nursing station design allows for improved visual
patient monitoring, computerized
charting and better accessibility
to meet patient and guest needs.
Since doctors and nurses will both
be located in the same station,
communication will be enhanced
resulting in more responsive and
efficient patient care.
The wing is designed to promote patient comfort with a stateof-the-art climate control system,
soft lighting, contemporary décor
in warm colors and the latest in
noise reduction technology.
The renovated wing expands
San Dimas Community Hospital’s
current licensed bed count from
93 to 101 increasing the community’s access to advanced health
care services. The availability of
additional beds will further reduce emergency room wait times,
which are already among the lowest in the nation.
San Dimas Community Hospital promotes healthy living
through 24-hour emergency care,
a family birth center, and a full
range of orthopedic, cardiopulmonary and gastrointestinal services.
More than 400 registered
nurses, technicians and support
personnel provide care in a convenient, compassionate and costeffective manner.
About San Dimas Hospital:
San Dimas Community Hospital,
a subsidiary of Prime Healthcare
Services, is a 101-bed facility located in the heart of San Dimas.
Since opening in 1971, the hospital had focused on providing high
quality health care services to San
Dimas and surrounding communities.

7 Common Myths About ADHD
La Verne — You would have
to have been living on top of a
mountain peak in the Himalayas
for the past 30 years to not know
about ADHD (Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder). It is in
the newspapers, on the news,
featured in television shows, and
often is the punch line in comedy
acts. If you have school-age children, chances are they have 1-3
students in their classroom with
the disorder. In fact, few psychological conditions have generated
the attention that ADHD has received in the past few years. But
for all of the discussion ADHD has
generated, many myths still exist
regarding the disorder, causing a
great deal of grief and even harm
to those who must deal with it everyday.
Myth #1: ADHD isn’t a real
medical disorder. ADHD is recognized by the National Institutes
of Health, the U.S. Department
of Education, and the American
Psychiatric Society. ADHD is a
biological based disorder which is
the result of an imbalance of neurotransmitters within the brain,
causing inattention, impulsivity,
and sometimes hyperactivity. Recent research has linked ADHD to
a lack of dopamine and/or norepinephrine, which is important to
brain function. People who have it
may have difficulty with memory,
organization, social interaction,
time management, and recall.
Myth #2: ADHD is the result of
bad parenting/ bad kids. When
a child with ADHD acts out, cannot sit still, speaks out of turn, or
any other of the many behaviors
seen in such cases, it is not because the child wasn’t taught that
these behaviors were wrong. He
does these things because he cannot control his impulses. ADHD
kids function on a “ready, shoot,
aim’ process as a result of a delay
in executive functioning. Other
executive functioning delays are
often mistaken for laziness, lack of
motivation, or lying. The problem
is chemical, not behavioral, and
overly strict parenting, which may
involve punishing a child for doing things he cannot control, can
actually make ADHD symptoms
worse, and may lead to anger,
depression, demoralization, and
even suicide.
Myth #3: ADHD affects only
boys. Girls are just as likely to
have ADHD as boys. But because
boys tend to react differently to
the symptoms (boys would rather
ignore the problem while girls will
find ways to compensate) they are
San
Dimas Senior Adventures
By Jay Pace
First of all I want to apologize
for not writing an article in June.
My sister, Bobbie, was in the hospital for 12 days and I needed to be
with her. I’m happy to say that she
is home now and even though she
is not up to her usual perky selfshe is doing much better. Prayers
go out to Jessie whose husband
and my friend Luis passed.
We have also lost two very special people who were members of
the senior club. Some of you might
remember Helen Hayes who was
our president for a few years. She
loved to sing but wasn’t able to
attend over the past few years.
She was in her ninety’s when
she passed. A very special friend
of mine, Barbara George passed
away, also. She attended up until
a few months ago. I told her that
I would continue to fight to have
lights up in San Dimas. When
Curtis Morris, our mayor, was
there to share one Tuesday Barbara brought that subject up. Well
December is coming up real soon
and we hope we will have lights
up downtown. The merchants
do a FANTASTIC job of making San Dimas GLOW !! We are
sandwiched between La Verne
and Glendora who have lights up
all year long. We have solar speed
reminders.. _why can’t we have
solar lights all year????
The club is in the process of
buying a paver at the H.E.R.O.S.
monument We want to buy
their largest paver and put SAN
DIMAS SENIOR CLUB on it to
show our support for our servicemen. That’s why we’re having another Silent Auction. If you have
someone who you would like to
recognize that lives or has lived in
San Dimas, please contact Janellen Graef at (909) 677-9557. She
will be more than happy to contact
you and send you all the details. It
only cost $50.00 to be placed on
the monument. They would appreciate any contribution. To buy
a paver or make a contribution go
to www.sandimasheroes.org Every time I go by I always look over
at the monument and say “Hi,” to
my husband.
Don’t forget to get your tickets
for the Indoor Dinner & Entertainment Summer BBQ August
24th from 4:30 — 7:00 p.m. $7.00
per person. [Fresh grilled hamburger, watermelon, potato salad,
baked beans and desert]. There
are vegetarian meals available by
request at time of registration.
I’m not a happy camper because they have cancelled the
Tuesday and Thursday dinners
indefinitely. BUT Melissa continues to have HAPPY HOUR drinks
at the Mess Hall from 3:00 to 4:00
the second Tuesday sponsored by
Emeritus. She is also busy having BUNKO every other month.
That is sponsored by Homewatch
Care Givers. They give out really
nice prizes. OH, and don’t forget
the really nice spread. Last month
it was pizza, fruit, cupcakes and
drinks. The best part.. _you meet
a lot of very special friends. The
cost is $3.00 and starts at 2:00
and usually ends at 4:?? Melissa
makes it lots of fun... There is NO

is struggling because of his disability.
Myth #4: Children with
ADHD eventually outgrow it.
More than 70% of the children
with ADHD continue to have it in
adolescence. Up to 50% will have
it in adulthood. Although it’s been
estimated that 6% of the adult
population has ADHD, the majority of them remain undiagnosed.
Yet, without help they are highly
vulnerable to depression, anxiety,
and substance abuse. They often
experience problems with their
career, finances, and personal relationships.
Myth #6: People who have
ADHD are stupid or lazy and
they are using it as an excuse.
They never amount to anything. ADHD is not a disorder
of ‘knowing’; it is a disorder of ‘doing’. In fact, recent studies show
that people with ADHD are of
above-average intelligence. They
certainly aren’t lazy. Many wellknown high-achieving individuals from the past are thought
to have had ADHD, including
Mozart, Benjamin Franklin,
Abraham Lincoln, George Bernard Shaw, and Salvador Dali.
The list of high-achieving ADDers in business today includes
David Neeleman, founder of Jetblue Airways, and Paul Orfalea,
founder of Kinko’s.
Myth #5: Children who are
given special accommodations because of their ADHD
are getting an unfair advantage. The Federal Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA) requires that public
schools address the special needs
of all children with disabilities,
including ADHD. These accommodations ‘level the playing field’
so that kids with ADHD have
the same opportunity as their
classmates to learn successfully.
Accommodations are assigned by
the parent and teacher team and
are based on the child’s individual
needs in the areas where the child

We all stood up and joined in with
great pride. We will have them
back again, that’s for sure. Month
before we had the “Chime Ringers” who were really great, too!
Now on to club news... The
month of August is full of fun
things too! We will have the Fire
Department come and give us information via the paramedics on
the 7th. If you have any questions,
please ask. Remember...there are
no dumb questions. Someone else
might want to ask that question
but is afraid to. The 14th we will
have our business meeting. On
the 21st Geno and the Standards
[three man band] will be there to
entertain us. They were great the
last time, so asked them back.
At the business meeting Claudia made her goal of 100. Well it
was 104. Our newest member,
Barbara, won the raffle at the
July meeting. She was jazzed. She
already comes to the luncheons.
You only have to be 55 and older
to become a club member. They
always welcome volunteers here
at the center. Delia brought up
about our bus trip for the second
part of the year. If you have any
suggestions please let her know.
We will have our annual Holiday Club luncheon on December
13th. Will let you know how much
for members who have attended
20 or more meetings. The price
will be more if you haven’t met the
attendance quota or are a Nonmember guest. Sue is in charge of
the event.

Myth #7: Children who take
ADHD medication will get
‘addicted’ and are more likely
to abuse drugs as teenagers
and adults. Actually, it is just the
opposite. Individuals with ADHD
who do not receive medication are
more likely to ‘self-medicate’ with
drugs and alcohol. Taking stimulants (be it drugs, caffeine, etc.)
without the close supervision of
a doctor increases the chance of
for the family. BIG special thanks

I know it’s the San Dimas fellowship. OOOOHHH!!! Talking
about B.I.N.G.O [I have to mark
it on my calendar because JULY
19th, 2012 the table on the far
back right facing the front won
sooooo many B_I.N.G.O. games
that I started walking over to
the other side of the room to give
Karma to the other side. I think,
no I know, that EVERYONE at
that table went home with a bag
of goodies. Well I must admit
Stu from our table did win one.
We all had fun ribbing them.
Jim [B.I.N.G.O. caller] who usually sits at that table even won
because his wife played his card.
They will never live that one down
in a million years. See what you’re
missing. The fun and fellowship is
so special at the San Dimas Senior
Building.
Well, next month we will have
Ron Johnson sing “Music For All
Occasions” Have a fun surprise
set up for the 18th of August. Suggested by Lorraine who makes the
favors for the Senior Club
Do you have any suggestions
on what you’d like to learn about?
Come in and let either Connie or
abuse. The medications used to
treat ADHD have been proven
safe and effective when taken at
the proper (low) dosage under
doctor supervision. These medications do not cure ADHD, but are
highly effective in relieving some
of the symptoms of the disorder.
If taken at the proper dosage, the
medications should not turn your
child into a ‘zombie’ or alter his
personality. If it does, you should
consult your child’s doctor to have
the prescription changed.
If you know, or suspect, that
someone you know has, or has
a child with ADHD, remember
that to him or her it is not a joke.
It is a very real and difficult problem that they have very little
control over. So before you jump
to any conclusions, or take them
off of your Facebook friends
list, take the time to educate
yourself and make the effort to
understand.

ADHD, visit www.chadd.org. If
you are a parent of a child with
ADHD, and you are looking for
help, come to the free parent support group every third Tuesday at

that information.
It is an air conditioned building so visit our wagon filled with
mucho info as I’ve mentioned before by Liz’s desk. They always
have coffee and plenty of comfortable seats to relax. Don’t forget to
check out the library [next to the
Plummer Building] to make life
more fun than sitting at home
by yourself. I could go on and on
but I’m on my way to... the- San
Dimas Center. [It’s sooo much
cheaper than going to DISNEYLAND]
Gotta’ tell you... two weeks ago
Judy came up to me and said, “I

CEDAR CITY
Surround by
Beautiful Scenery
Is Call Festival
City U.S.A.
Story & Photos
By Stan Wawer
Cedar City. Ever heard of it?
Probably not, unless you have
driven Interstate 15 heading for
Colorado or Southern Utah’s redrock country.
Cedar City is a town of about
30,000 that still rolls up its streets
on Sunday. It is also a town with
a major university, a Tony Awardwinning Shakespeare Theater
Festival and surrounded by some
of the most gorgeous scenery in
America — Bryce Canyon, Zion,
Kolob Canyons and Cedar Breaks
National Monument.
Color comes to life in one of
Kanarra Creek Falls’ many slot
canyons.
“Cedar City is a pass through
for tourists going to Bryce or Zion,”
said Harry Brown, my guide on a
Bryce Canyon and scenic byways
tour. “If Cedar Breaks National
Monument was a national park,
we [Cedar City] would be on the
radar.”
During my weeklong stay, I
also learned that Cedar City residents are friendly and helpful and
that its Shakespeare Festival is
as good as it gets. Add to that the
Neil Simon Festival, Groovefest
American Music Festival and the
Cedar Livestock & Heritage Festival and you get a good idea why
the place is called Festival City
USA.
The Neil Simon Festival is the
only theater festival completely
dedicated to Simon’s works. The
Groovefest is one of the nation’s
largest free music festivals. Livestock may not be your thing but
you and your family would probably get a kick out of 2,000 sheep
parading down Main Street during the Cedar Livestock & Heritage Festival.
If you came for the red rocks,
you will not be disappointed.
Less than a half-hour south of
Cedar City is Kolob Canyons
and Kanarra Creek Falls with its
slot canyons — a photographer’s
dream. My four-hour-plus hike in
Kanarra Creek falls left me with a
jaw-dropping experience in more
ways than one.
The hidden gem that is Kanarra Creek Falls gives hikers a slot
canyon experience without an allday commitment and hassle of a
in waiting.
As our tour headed toward
Bryce, we explored Southern
Utah’s scenic byways — Patchwork Parkway Highway 143,
Scenic Highway 14 and AllAmerican Byway 12 — as well as
Cedar Breaks and Dixie National
Forests’ Red Canyon. When we
reached Cedar Breaks, I said,
“This should be a national park.”
When we stopped for lunch in Red
Canyon, I said, “This should be a
national park.” When we arrived
in Bryce Canyon, I said, “THIS is
a national park.”

permit required to hike Zion “narrows” and “subway.”
As I sloshed through water
mostly ankle deep, but often
reaching mid calf, I slipped on an
unseen black rock. My weighted
backpack pulled me down quickly
but also cushioned my fall. My
first reaction was to lift my camera over my head to keep it dry.
No luck. It got wet enough to stop
functioning. I was able to save all
pictures but the camera, alas, has
gone to that great camera heaven
in the sky. The camera aside, I
would not trade that hike for anything.
When I drive though this area,
I often wonder why it’s not all a
national park. A good example
is Cedar Breaks National Monument. Breathtaking, an overused
word in Southern Utah, is the first
word that comes to mind when
you stop at 10,420 feet and look
down into the amphitheater.

Where to stay
Cedar City is right off Interstate 15 about six-and-a-half
hours from Los Angeles. There
are a number of reasonably priced
hotels and motels in the area. I
stayed at the Crystal Inn Hotel
& Suites (www.crystalinncedar.
com). Crystal Inn is clean, with
large rooms, a pool, spa, small fitness room, restaurant and bar.
Remember, this is Utah. Most
beers are 3.2 and you generally
have to order food with your alcohol. The best thing I liked about
the Crystal Inn was the overall
hospitality of its employees.

Mt. SAC Health Career Students Win Bronze at Nationals
By Mike Taylor
Walnut — Mt. San Antonio
College health career students recently won three bronze medals at
the Health Occupation Students of

7,000 secondary and post-second-
Senator
Hernandez
Statement on
AB 1446 and
Metro’s Draft
Ordinance/
Expenditure Plan
for the Measure
R Sales Tax
Extension
“In 2008, despite a weakened
economy, Los Angeles County
voters approved a thirty year
sales tax increase to fund transportation projects because they
knew their tax dollars would go
to specific projects throughout the
county. In the San Gabriel Valley,
Measure R had strong support in
no small part because it included
explicit commitments for important transit like the Foothill Gold
Line, as well as important traffic
relief/ goods movement improvements through the Alameda Corridor-East (ACE) Project.”
“Now Metro staff wants authorization from the State Legislature, through AB 1446, to ask
voters to extend the Measure R
beyond its original thirty years.
Only this time there is no explicit
commitment by Metro, either in
the authorizing legislation or the
draft expenditure plan, to keep
their promise to San Gabriel
Valley residents and fund their
projects to completion. Without
amendments either to the draft
ordinance and/or AB 1446 that
ensure orginal Measure R projects
receive sufficient revenue for completion, including the ACE Phase
II grade separations and the Foothill Gold Line to Claremont, I will
be unable to support AB 1446 and
the extension of Measure R..”
ary students competed at the national leadership event.
Perla Borrayo (Ontario), Tiffanie Dunn (El Monte), and Bryan
Everage (Pomona) all won bronze
medals in the creative problem
solving competition.
Teammates Maria Bouz (San
Dimas), Carlos Magana (Tustin),
and Zachary Peterson (Corona)
also ranked in the top ten as finalists.
“Six of our competitors this year
ranked nationally as finalists, and
that is quite an achievement,” said
Mt. SAC psychiatric technician
professor and HOSA advisor Mary
Ellen Reyes. “Being involved in
and competing in HOSA is a lifechanging experience for students.”
HOSA, established in 1976 by
the U.S. Department of Education,
is the national organization for secondary and post-secondary health
career students. The organization
provides students in 40 states with
skills, leadership development,
and career development.
