State Controller John Chiang today announced his auditors were begin-ning reviews of 18 redevel-opment agencies (RDA) across the state in an ef-fort to obtain facts on how RDA funds are used and the extent to which they comply with laws govern-ing their activities. “The

heated debate over wheth-er RDAs are the engines of local economic and job growth or are simply scams providing windfalls to political cronies at the expense of public services has largely been based on anecdotal evidence,” Chi-ang said. “As lawmakers deliberate the Governor’s

proposal to close RDAs and divert those funds to local schools and public safety agencies, I believe it is important to provide factual, empirical informa-tion about how these agen-cies perform and what they bring to the communities they serve.” The 18 RDAs selected for the reviews

represent urban, suburban and rural communities. They are geographically diverse and represent a mix of varying populations. The reviews will look at, among other things, how the RDAs define a “blight-ed” area, whether they are

State Controller Launches Review of Pasadena’s Community Development Commission-17 Other Cities to be Probed

Los Angeles County Coroner Lt. Fred Corral identified the victim of Monday’s house fire in Monrovia as Shamie Am-ber Reay, 39.

Reay died Monday, when the home in the rear of the 100 block of North Magnolia Avenue caught fire as a result of an elec-trical fault. Monrovia’s Fire Chief Chris Donno-van told the Weekly that it appeared the vicitim of the fire was a hoarder and the dept had difficulty access-ing the body after the fire was extinguished.

Autospy and complete investigation is scheduled for Thursday. When fire fighters found the woman, she was provided medical aid and immediately trans-ported to Methodist Hospi-tal of Southern California in Arcadia, where she was later pronounced dead.Also dead at the scene was the woman’s cat. Damag-es are estimated at $35,000.

Four Chefs Raise Funds for Pasadena Girl with Rare Cancer

BY TERRY MILLER

Last Tuesday night, the Metro Gold Line Foot-hill Extension Construction Authority (Construction Authority) Board of Direc-tors certified the Supple-mental Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Foothill Extension Pasa-

dena to Azusa. The Supple-mental EIR augments the Final EIR approved in 2007 for the project, and evalu-ates a number of project modifications that have aris-en since the original docu-ment was certified. Ap-proval of the Supplemental

EIR environmentally clears those project updates, and prepares the project for fi-nal design and construction to begin later this year.

Project modifications evaluated in the Supple-mental EIR include a 25-acre Maintenance and

Operations (M&O) Facility site in the city of Monrovia, new parking locations at the Irwindale and Monro-via stations, reconfiguration of the intersection of Moun-tain Avenue and Duarte

While this is not the site for the Light Rail Maintenance area, the Monrovia depot, seen here after recent rains, will be the focal point of the new gold line in Monrovia slated for 2014. – Photo by Terry Miller

Instruction Booklets

The downside of Christmas! That is when the panic sets in, once all the presents have been opened and the maze of instruction booklets are set aside for your inter-pretation. Most everyone is familiar with the diffi-culty and frustration that occurs when you are re-quired to read an instruc-tion manual. Now days even the most common kitchen gadget comes with a fat “How To” instruction book, most of which seem to have been written in the language of the country of the product’s origin. Per-sonally, I believe in that old saying ... “If all else fails, then and only then do you read the instruc-tions. It was unfortunately that I accepted my gadget happy spouse’s Christmas Wish List with glee. It was quite easy for me to shop on-line for all of the latest ingenious kitchen contrap-tions that she had on her

“Must Have” Christmas wish list. This seemed like a brilliant idea to keep her in the kitchen cheerfully trying to emulate one of the Food Channel’s cook-ing experts. Then I would be able to enjoy uninter-rupted viewing of the en-tire Christmas and New Year football bowl games, which frankly, is very de-manding. Disturbingly to me however, my “Kitchen Queen” also became very demanding during that time!

Her, “Oh Honey How To” questions came in bunches most of which occurred whenever my favored football team was about to score a touch-down. My neophyte “want-to-be chef” was al-ways in the middle of pre-paring one of her desert delights and therefore she must have immediate in-struction on “how to” op-erate one of her new thin-gamabob gadgets.

Well, after three of these, crisis interruptions, and hours of trying to fig-ure out what the instruc-tion books, written seem-ingly in “Greek”, were talking about, I angrily resigned my role as “Chief Information Book Inter-preter”. Later in that day, when she finally got over her “HUFF”, she phoned her sister to tell her of my inconsiderate conduct that completely ruined her New Year’s Day menu plans.

Wow, I thought to myself, I’m so lucky that I didn’t buy her the new Apple cell phone that she wanted for Christmas. There are thousands of software APS, available for downloading to that cell phone and each one usual-ly requires some “How To” technical assistance! I shut-ter to think what demands that she would have put on my Super Bowl viewing!

I wish I had invented tis-sues and had a life-time pat-ent on them. I’d be making myself rich even if no one else bought any. Does al-lergy season ever end?

I moaned and com-plained about the summer-like heat and looked forward to cold weather again. Now I’m not sweating but my eyes are watering and my nose is running.

That reminds me of a kids-type joke: Q: What do your nose and feet have in common? A: They both run and they both smell.

Also brings to mind something my friend told me

the other day. She received a birthday card that said on the front, “Remember when we were kids and used to laugh at old people?” Inside it said, “What was so funny?”

I’m not sure what we were laughing at then but I can tell you, my dears, as we get older we darn well better keep laughing or we are in deep trouble.

I saw a segment on TV recently about laugh support groups that have formed. I understand they started in Tokyo. People get together for an hour and, led by an in-structor, just laugh. They say it relieves stress and they will live longer.

Well okay, I can buy into laughter being the ulti-mate stress breaker. I pre-fer to laugh at myself and things that happen around me. Getting together with hundreds of other people to stand for an hour just laugh-ing - and under instruction yet? Maybe, I guess those for whom it works should

go for it. Personally, I think I would find standing for an hour doing anything to be stressful in itself. My feet, like my nose, don’t work as well as they used to. I think my feet run less and smell more while my nose smells less and runs more.

Maybe that’s not all bad. Having a nose that’s a good smeller is not always an asset. Are we talking good smells or bad smells? Shall we get into semantics? Like, roses have a fragrance, peo-ple have an odor. Some do.

I’m always disappoint-ed when roses lack a fra-grance. I’m delighted when people lack an odor.

What’s really bad is when people with an odor try to cover it with an aroma. Perfume makes me sneeze. Then my nose runs and there I go again, back to regretting that I didn’t invent tissues or at least buy some good stock from the guy who did.

Aah well. Aachoo.

In the wake of last week’s devastating oblitera-tion of over 200 trees and one of Arcadia’s last natural ecosystems, there are opin-ions and fingers pointing in every direction as to who is to blame for such a wretch-ed and sadly unnecessary end result. Why it happened in the first place is perhaps best known only to County Flood Control who refused to listen to the will of the people who live in Arcadia.

One of the founding members of a group of deeply concerned citizens who valiantly attempted to save the trees and educate the county, Cam Stone, at-tended countless community meetings, supervisors’ meet-ings, and endured relentless doubletalk from the county. Cam stone is eloquent and kept noting that there were alternatives to county plans. He along with Glen Owens, a planning commissioner in Monrovia , (who spent his own money to prove alterna-

tives were there), pleaded with officials at Flood Con-trol…their words and letters fell on deaf ears despite put-ting considerable pressure on Antonovich’s office as well as county public works.

As Owens pointed out to Beacon Media earlier in the week, Flood Control is autocratic. This, needless to say, makes it exceedingly difficult to accomplish nego-tiations.

Cam stone, Glen Ow-ens and Christle Belvin plus several other highly consci-entious citizens have been essentially on the war path with the County Flood Con-trol over an issue that could have and should been re-solved without destroying trees it seems to me and numerous more enlightened than myself.

The passion and the persistence of these marvel-ous people needs to be ap-plauded and recognized.

I don’t mean with plaques or specific recogni-

tions like “citizen of the year “or “man of the year” but with more support - lots of it. There should have been hundreds of protestors at the gate that morning. Where were we all? The police out-numbered protestors 20 – 1.

During my years in High School and college, protest and civil disobedi-ence is what helped stopped the Vietnam War and opened minds to alterna-tives. Protest brought about the Civil Rights laws and major changes that still are in their infancy. Protesting in-justice gave women the right to vote. Hundreds of us took to the streets and no matter where or when, we could not be moved by police or National Guard.

Perhaps we have be-come too complacent on public protest. Perhaps we’re too busy reading our emails and downloading stuff when we should get out from behind the computer/smart phone and take mat-

ters into the streets. Remem-ber the filn NETWORK….. We should all be mad as hell, and not take it any-more!

Whe I arrived at the gates at 7am there was a handful of people (perhaps 5) peacefully protesting. Others wanted to join later but the police placed crime scene tape around the pe-rimeter and would allow anyone else in. Someone tried to give the protestors on the inside of the yellow tape some more signs but officers refused to allow this.

The Los Angeles Sher-iffi’s dept refused to let the media in to witness the de-struction that had started around 7 AM, Wednesday Jan 12, 2011. In fact there were several verbal alterca-tions between some mem-bers of the media and depu-ties as to the legality of said restriction. In fact, they ex-tended the area in which we (media) were not allowed and closed off the roads sur-

rounding the entrance to the site.

A colleague of mine, Nick Ut, a photographer who is celebrating 45 years with AP won a Pulitzer Prize for his image of a naked young girl running scream-ing after a napalm attack in Vietnam, was also witness to this censorship that Wednes-day morning.

The end of the war and atrocities in Vietnam was due in no small part to Nick Ut and his stunning, power-ful and sensitive black and white image of Phan Thị Kim Phúc, who was photo-graphed running terrified toward the camera attempt-ing to flee a napalm attack on the Trịng Bàng village. That image and many oth-ers Ut made along with those of his colleague, Eddie Adams, shaped the turning point of public opinion and why the war ended. Adams died recently but was quot-ed a while back in the LA Times saying…” You and me Nicky, we helped stop the War.”

The powerful world of images is incontestable. Per-haps this is why the police kept the media out of the 11 acres that morning. Perhaps they knew that Nicky was there.

There was an initial claim that it was a “crime scene” by one or two depu-ties, which of course was NOT the case, unless you consider what the Flood Control did to those trees a crime – which, of course, many do including anyone who witnessed the scene’s aftermath. It looked like a war zone on Thursday when Public Works finally allowed

some media to photograph the site.

On Tuesday Evening Jan 12, 4 people decided that the only way they were going to prevent an ecologi-cal disaster was by climbing into those very majestic and old trees whose life was in imminent jeopardy. Veter-an “tree sitter” John Quigley; a newcomer to the art, Julia Posin, plus Andrea Bowers and Travis Jochimsen did exactly that under the cover of darkness and with the help of a few strong friends.

Since the trees have now been executed and re-duced to pulp, several in the media and some bloggers have come up with diverse and varied opinions about this and the other seriously controversial issues (i.e. the Coyote trappings that have finally stopped, or will in a few days) Arcadia faced in recent weeks.

Glen Owens , Cam Stone and Christle Balvin as well as actress Darlyl Han-nah who offered to bail out the “tree sitters” after their arrest were instrumental in the initial battle.

It has come to our at-tention that Glen Owens has officially stepped away from the many environmental groups like the Sierra Club who stepped into the Arca-dia Oaks debate for a more grassroots approach in at-tempting to fight the County.

Owens has been the voice of reason in the disaster that occured on Jan 13 and feels a different approach is in order. He plans on sitting down with Supervisor Anto-novich and Christle Balvin in coming weeks to discuss his plans.

Arcadia Chamber of Commerce Plans Business Expo 2011

recently and we decided to print the thoughts of this 13 year-old Sierra Madre stu-dent.

Amadea Tanner won first place in the Middle School Division for her Mar-tin Luther King Jr. Essay. The MLK Essay Contest was sponsored by the MLK Community Coalition. This year’s essay topic was: “Looking back at Dr. King’s dreams, what ad-vice would he give Amer-ica’s leaders to move the country forward?”

Amadea spoke on January 11th (Tues) in front of the MLK Com-munity Coalition Essay Panel at Eliot Middle School to determine her ranking. The principal of Eliot Middle School, Pe-ter Panel, was touched by her essay and invited her to speak on January 15 at their Beautification Day. Amadea is in 7th grade and is 13 yrs old. She at-tends Sierra Madre Middle School. Here is her essay:

“Martin Luther King Jr.”Martin Luther King Jr.

was a dreamer. But unlike many other people from his time, he was determined to make his dreams a reality. Through thick and thin, he fought for what he believed in, and to this day, we have come far in achieving his dreams.

Martin Luther King wanted a world where every-one was equal, not judged based on the color of their skin. A few of his many wishes were having integrat-ed schools, equal rights for everyone, and no segrega-tion. In his time, not every-one was treated fairly. Black people were discriminated and cut off from sharing the privileges that white people had. They had to drink from separate water fountains, eat at separate counters, sit in separate sections on the bus, and went to different and in-ferior schools. On top of all this, they were looked down upon, but thanks to Dr. King, our world isn’t like this to-day.

Today, America doesn’t face segregation. We have integrated schools, and consider everyone equal by law. African Americans have the rights they deserved to have during and before the time of Dr. King. But our country still isn’t perfect.

In fact, even though we’ve taken monumental strides to overcome our flaws, we still haven’t achieved all of the inevitable.

If Martin Luther King Jr. was here today, I believe that he would want to improve upon our flaws first before adding to our successes. He would want to start off with

education in particular. Edu-cation provides us with the knowledge we need to es-tablish right from wrong. If we, as a country could fix the excessive amounts of school dropouts, then I believe we could also fix other capa-cious problems that we face. For example, going to school could reduce the amount of gangs or gang violence that has been happening. Since Dr. King was a well-educated man, he would know that lack of education is a domi-nant factor in a lot of these occurrences. To quote him, “Everything we see is a shad-ow cast by that which we do not see”.

To stop these school dropouts (and eventually the gang violence that could potentially follow), Dr. King would seek America’s lead-ers first. He would provide them with advice (such as proposing to pay our teachers more than they are currently receiving in order to prevent any of their students from dropping out and getting into trouble later down the road). In fact, I believe that if we paid our teachers nearly, if not the same amount as we pay our celebrities and sports figures, there would be no education problems. Plenty of money could go to helping those who couldn’t afford to go to school, and those who were in school wouldn’t want to drop out because of

the good quality education they would be receiving. If our leaders couldn’t stop this drop out problem, then Dr. King would take it on him-self. He would make speech-es, and lead non-violent pro-tests (just as he did before) in order to grab America’s at-tention. When the country fi-nally understood what would

need to be done, our government would see that we really do need to pay more attention to our educators, rather than our entertainers.

Martin Luther King’s dreams have very nearly been achieved. If he were here today, I think that he would want to focus on improving education and the num-ber of school dropouts in order to make America better. If his supervision and power were here to-day, I believe that there wouldn’t be very many school dropouts or

much gang violence at all. If we follow in Dr. King’s foot-steps, we are likely to achieve completion on the road to success. If one man could do so much to make our country a better place, then just imagine the endless pos-sibilities and effects the entire country could have.”

Amadea Tanner was awarded a trophy with her named engraved and re-ceived $250 from the Tour-nament of Roses. She also received three proclama-tion certificates from local representatives. She will be receiving a Freedom Fight-ers certificate from the MLK Community Coalition in the near future.

Continued from page 1Road and replacement of two existing bridges along the 11.5-mile alignment. The site for the M&O Facil-ity is in the city of Monro-via, and bounded by Ever-green Avenue on the north, Shamrock Avenue on the east, California Avenue on the west and Duarte Road on the south.

“Approval of the SEIR is an important step in our process to ready the Foot-hill Extension Pasadena to Azusa for final design and

construction” said Habib F. Balian, CEO of the Con-struction Authority. “It is especially important that we identified and environ-mentally cleared a site for the M&O Facility, a criti-cal path item in the fund-ing agreement between the Construction Authority and Metro.”

These project updates will now be made part of the final project and inte-grated into an addendum to the Request for Propos-

als being sent to the three short-listed teams compet-ing for the $450 million Design-Build contract. Pro-posals are due January 27, and a contract award is an-ticipated in April 2011. Fi-nal design will take approx-imately 8-9 months, and construction of the project will begin. Completion of the Foothill Extension Pasa-dena to Azusa is anticipated in late 2014, adding six new stations to the Metro Gold Line light rail line.

Light Rail Maintenance

When it comes to win-ter flooding, there are two things that many home-owners should know about their risk. First, the dangers of severe weather and re-lated flooding do not end when colder weather begins. Floods are a year-round haz-ard, and they can be espe-cially dangerous in western states – including Arizona, California, and Nevada – due to recent wildfires and the upcoming rainy season.

Second, most home-owners insurance policies do not cover flood damage, which resulted in an average claim of nearly $27,000 in 2009. In most cases, flood insurance made available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is the only protection against the financial costs of flood-ing.

“Virtually every home and business owner faces some risk of flooding, which can stem from events as commonplace as broken sewer lines, slow moving rainstorms, or even a new real estate development that alters drainage patterns around a property,” said Nancy Ward, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Region IX Administrator. “Every-one should have a flood pre-paredness checklist, and for many people, having flood insurance can be as impor-tant as having an emergency supply kit and knowing where to go if they need to evacuate.”

Specific dangers facing western states during the 2010-2011 winter season in-clude:

RISKS FROM HEAVY RAINFALL: Floods are a particularly common and costly hazard in Arizona, and can be caused by heavy rain, monsoons, and the remnants of tropical storms. Even mountainous areas are at risk, as higher grounds tend to funnel water down into canyons. In California, heavy rains through the winter and early spring are responsible for most of the state’s yearly rainfall, caus-ing cresting rivers, backed-up storm drains and saturat-ed ground, all of which can lead to devastating floods. Nevada also has a significant winter rainy season due to intense storms that originate over the Pacific Ocean.

INCREASED RISKS FROM WILDFIRES: Large scale wildfires during the summer and fall months have dramatically altered ground conditions in com-munities in Arizona, Cali-fornia, and Nevada. The charred ground that these fires produce lacks vegeta-tion that typically helps ab-sorb and slow excess water, increasing the likelihood of flooding and mudflows and causing significant damage to nearby properties.

In 2010 alone, more than 142,000 acres in Ari-zona were severely dam-aged by wildfires, includ-ing the Schultz Wildfire in June, which burned more than 15,000 acres. Just one month later heavy rains brought severe flooding to the Flagstaff area. In 2009 the “Station” fire in Los An-geles County, CA burned more than 160,000 acres. Residents in Nevada should

also be aware of the flooding dangers associated with wild-fires, which damaged more than 28,000 acres in 2010.

Residents in every state and nationwide should know that flood insurance policies typically take 30 days to be-come effective, so the time to get protected is now.

FEMA’s FloodSmart Campaign offers interactive tools to help homeowners understand their risk, includ-ing:

A Wildfire Infographic illustrating the impact of wildfires on flooding

A Cost of Flooding tool showing costs associated with varying levels of flood-ing

Video of home and business owners who have experienced the benefits of flood coverage

Individuals should visit FloodSmart.gov or call 1-800-427-2419 to learn how to prepare for floods, what to do if their area has been flooded, how to purchase a National Flood Insurance policy, and the benefits of protecting their home and property against flooding.

For additional informa-tion, or to speak to FEMA representative, call the FEMA News desk at 202-646-3272. For media inqui-ries specific to California, Arizona or Nevada, contact John Hamill at 510-627-7054.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Iris Award Given to Ulises Gutierrez

Ulises Gutierrez, Youth Alliance coordi-nator for the Santa Anita Fam-ily YMCA, was hon-ored with The Iris Award, the equivalent of Citizen of the Year by the Monrovia Chamber of Com-m e r c e . The award was pre-sented at the Cham-ber’s an-nual mem-bership dinner and awards presentations Jan. 21 at the Doubletree Hotel attended by more than 200 of Mon-rovia’s business and civic

Save Friday, Jan. 28 for the next concert by the Pasadena Community Or-chestra. Their concert be-gins at 8:00 p.m. at the First Church of the Nazarene,

Pasadena when the orches-tra under the direction of Alan Reinecke will per-form works by Antonine Dvorak, Johannes Brahms and Sergei Rachmaninoff. Admission to the concert is free.

Guest soloist on the program is Charles Par-sons who will perform

Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2 for Piano and Or-chestra. Parsons, a native of Big Pines, a small com-munity near Wrightwood, is now studying piano at

California Polytechnic State University, Pomona. The Cal Poly Pomona Ju-nior has been charting the course from student to pro-fessional and continues to win piano competitions, the usual route. As a high school student he was a co-first prize scholarship audi-tion winner in the Music

Teacher’s Association of California competitions, and many others. Parsons distinguished himself at Cal Poly and holds schol-arships and endowments from their music depart-ment. He recently was honored to participate in the Colburn School of Per-forming Arts’ masterclass series and play for master teachers Robert Ward and Norman Krieger.

Parsons says, “Al-though I did not win the Pasadena Community Orchestra’s Young Art-ist’s Competition, Mr. Reinecke invited me to be a guest soloist. I chose the Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 2…for its rapturous melodies.”

Other works on the program will be Dvorak’s “Othello” overture, and Brahms’ Variations on a Theme of Haydn.

The First Church of the Nazarene is located at 3700 E. Sierra Madre Blvd., Pasadena, just west of Michillinda Ave. Infor-mation: (626) 445-6708.

Sierra Madre School Annual Fund will present the fourth annual family concert and family/student talent show featuring……..Dread Zeppelin and some fabulous opening acts.

“They did ‘Your Time Is Gonna Come’ better than we did.” - Robert Plant is reported to have said about the popular, ableit bizarre tribute band.

Besides this inargu-able endorsement, Dread Zeppelin garnered high accolades from the British and American music press upon their debut and has continue to entertain and amuse audiences for over twenty years. They sound like the Hammer of the Gods, but act so cool that even our tone-deaf friends like them. Oh yeah - Led Zeppelin inna reggae style

sung by an Elvis imperson-ator. You gotta order the extra-large portion!

It is a well known fact that Elvis Presley’s birth-day falls on January 8th. Well, eight years to the day after their first gig on Janu-ary 8th 1989, (or 1956 if you

believe lead vocalist Tortel-vis), a replica Ford Pinto, containing 5 reggae musi-cians, smokes its way onto another stage. This time it’s the The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, Cali-fornia, one thousand and ninety nine performances later. “It’s a hot time in Orange County” Tort ex-claims just before Charlie Haj, the man who hands him his water and towels on stage, gives him his final stage instructions. “Tortel-vis, despite your age of 35, you’re obviously in poor health and way over weight. I know you’ve come to accept your appearance and so have your fans. So please, watch your step on the way to the stage”. And with that, the group that plays “Led Zeppelin music inna reggae style with an Elvis impersonator, is at it again! Since that day in 1989, Dread Zeppelin have released 12 cds, produced several videos (one in which Butt-head still says “whoa, that’s cool” and Beavis just

agrees ), starred in a motion picture, and have toured in over thirty countries in-cluding Japan, Brazil, Aus-tralia and all of Europe. Their tight and sometimes shredfestual brand of reg-gae music combined with a stage show that re-defines

the word, have prompted even Robert Plant himself to speak out in support of Dread Zeppelin’s version of “Your Time Is Gonna Come” over his own Led Zeppelin version! As you know, Dread Zeppelin is fronted by lead singer TOR-TELVIS, described as a cross between Vegas era El-vis, Dracula, and Liberace! Tortelvis is always accom-panied by his faithful man-servant, CHARLIE HAJ. Charlie quietly wipes the brow of the “Pompadoured Butterball” and keeps him in fresh towels. Lead gui-tarist BUTT-BOY is a tall scary man with an obvious secret agenda. Bassist BOB KNARLEY, a geeky reg-gaemon and a darn good player, along with drum-mer ZIGGY KNARLEY, are often mistaken for killer reggae rhythm section, Sly and Robbie. Anchoring the whole thing together is keyboard player and now producer, Spice.

Since the release in 1990 of their debut cd “Un-

Led-Ed” for IRS Records, Dread Zeppelin have con-tinued to play to diehard fans and confused faces in crowds around the world for almost 20 years. While the make-up of the band has gone through a few member changes, the main forces of the band have re-mained to reveal new and old sounds, and look for a new generation of Led Zeppelin fans and anti-Led Zeppelin fans. Dread may always be considered to most, purely a novelty act. However, some may argue that unlike a number of those acts, the bands lon-gevity is due to their ability to actually play. On their latest release, Bar Coda “, they managed to step back in time with their camp ap-proach they are known for. Tortelvis, has made a ca-reer of imitating the vocal style and mannerisms of the late Elvis Presley. However, “the times they are a kinda changin.” While Tortelvis still carries some of the El-vis inflections into his own style, the music seems to be more timeless when not reverting to the use of fat, food or drug references, although their use of weav-ing many songs and riffs together make for laughs of their own.

Produced and record-ed by Spice (Dread Zeppe-lin’s longtime drummer), Bar Coda reveals possibly a more mature sound, laced with rhythmic oriented beats but still somehow sticking with the classic DZ formula. Butt-boy’s guitar adventurism is also evident when challenged to create more unique versions of fa-miliar songs like That’s Al-right Mama and The Lem-on Song. At times the guitar echoes a sonic tone not un-like that of current bands, Korn and Limp Bizkit. Drummer Ziggy Knarley’s beats reflect an almost jazz / rock hybrid, mostly evident in tracks like No Woman No Cry and Out On The Tiles. Spice has taken over the reigns as Bob Knarley relinquishes his producer to role and as brings it on home with Bar Coda. A re-cording that takes its roots from “the old” Dread Zep-pelin, (Led Zeppelin, Elvis

Dread Zeppelin to Perform at Sierra Madre School Friday NightOpening Acts to Include Some of the Best Local School Talent for Annual Fundraiser


Please see page 12

To kick off the cel-ebration of Black History Month in

Southern California, a FREE Film Screening and Question and Answer Ses-sion with Stuart A. Gold-man, Executive Producer of “Becoming Barack: Evo-lution of a Leader,” a new documentary film about the

formative years of President Barack H. Obama, will be presented by the Compton High School Alumni Asso-ciation in conjunction with Compton High School and Corky Hale Productions, on Thursday, February 3, 2011 from 10:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. in the Compton High School Auditorium;

601 South Acacia Avenue (between Compton Bou-levard and Alondra Bou-levard); Compton, CA 90220 near the courthouse.

Admission to the event is FREE of charge and open to the general public. Seating is on a first come, first served basis. Event attendees are encouraged

to arrive at least 15 – 30 minutes in advance of the program start time. FREE Parking will be available on campus and on nearby streets. Opening Com-ments will be made by the Principal of Compton High School, Jesse Jones. A Question and Answer Session will be moderated by Deborah Spottsville, President of the Compton High School Alumni As-sociation. Copies of the DVD of the documentary film will also be available for sale at the event. For further information, please visit the website, www.comptonhighalumni.org or call Compton High School at 310-635-3881.

Deborah Spottsville, President of the Compton High School Alumni As-sociation, said: “We are honored to be celebrat-ing the kick off of Black History Month here in Southern California with a special screening of the documentary film, ‘Becom-ing Barack: Evolution of a Leader,’ which docu-

ments the path of our na-tion’s current President which ultimately led to The White House. This film is an important part of not only black history, but American history as well. The film also serves as an inspiration for people of all ages, especially young students who are in the process of planning their futures. As a special treat, we will have the opportuni-ty to speak with the Execu-tive Producer of the film, Stuart A. Goldman, about the making of his film.”

“Becoming Barack: Evolution of a Leader” traces the early path of a man destined to make his-tory and to be a catalyst for global change, a man who would become known throughout the world as Barack H. Obama, the 44th President of the United States. The documentary film, produced by The Stu-art Goldman Co.; distrib-uted by Little Dizzy Home Video; executive produced and written by Stuart A. Goldman; co-produced,

written and directed by the late Robert Yuhas, and narrated by actor Phil La-Marr, features footage from three of the earliest known recorded interviews with Barack Obama: a 12-min-ute never-before-seen “lost” interview from 1993, which never aired, and was filmed in Chicago by an aspiring inner-city documentary producer, Zeke Gonzalez; a 1990 clip from a news interview of Obama after he was elected President of the Harvard Law Re-view; and a 1986 WMAQ-Chicago news story about Obama’s earliest success as a community activist, which hasn’t been aired publicly since its original local broadcast 23 years ago. The film also includes excerpts from Obama’s audio book reading of Dreams of My Father.

In the “lost” inter-view footage presented in the film, Obama is just 32-years-old, two years out of law school and champi-

Black History Month Kicks off with “Becoming Barack: Evolution of a Leader” - Documentary Screening and Q and A


Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA), an all-volunteer non-profit organization, supporting outstanding music and arts programs throughout the greater Pasadena-area community, held its Empty House Party this past Fri-day drawing more than 600 guests. The event un-veiled the 47th Pasadena Showcase House of Design prior to renovation and kicked-off the organiza-tion’s annual fundraising efforts. Over the next three months, 24 acclaimed in-terior and exterior design-ers from all over Southern California will transform this English Period Reviv-al-style estate designed by celebrated architect Paul R. Williams into an inspir-ing, must-see destination for design enthusiasts and industry professionals.

“We are most fortu-

nate to be in partnership with some superb design-ers this year,” said PSHA Benefit Chairman Kathryn Hofgaarden. “Their plans for the renovation are re-markably innovative and will undoubtedly offer ev-ery visitor inspiration and enjoyment as well as prac-tical information.”

Walking past expan-sive pastoral grounds, guests gathered inside this elegantly designed, archi-tecturally detailed house while viewing illustrations and descriptions of the designers’ concepts. An extraordinary selection of culinary delights were of-fered to guests at gourmet stations located through-out the house. The menu, created by Peggy Dark of The Kitchen for Explor-ing Foods, included savory seafood, farm fresh grilled vegetables, delectable hors d’oeuvres and sumptuous desserts.

Showcase 2011 high-lights one of Williams’ ear-lier designs that boast Old World charm and master-ful detail. Built in 1927, Williams borrowed ideas from the past without using excessive ornamentation and married traditional architectural styles with smart, stylized looks. Rest-ing in the heart of La Can-ada Flintridge, California, the estate features a 7,200+ square foot home, 1,800

square foot guesthouse, eight gardens, champion-ship concrete tennis court, oversized swimming pool and accompanying pool house on 4.5 acres.

In addition, the Show-case will feature for the first time in 47 years, a three-car garage as a design space. Outfitted with hearty de-sign elements, such as custom-light fixtures made

from welding tanks, this man cave will also house a wine refrigerator, beer tap and flat screen TV for the ultimate hangout.

One of the oldest house and garden tours, the 2011 Pasadena Show-case House of Design will be open from April 17 – May 15, 2011. The

proceeds from the Show-case support music and arts enrichment programs throughout the commu-nity. Since its inception, the Showcase has helped raised over 17 million dol-lars and brought music programs to hundreds of thousands of school kids throughout Southern Cali-fornia.

Every year, volunteers come together to make the Showcase possible and this year is no exception. “I am inspired and amazed by the tireless efforts of our devoted volunteers working to transform this property into the 2011 Pas-adena Showcase House of Design. I am really proud to be part of the organiza-tion,” said PSHA President Marti Farley.

Approximately 35,000 guests will visit the Show-case House this spring to view the results of the time and dedication in-vested by the designers and the PSHA volunteers. For more information visit PasadenaShowcase.org. Tickets cost between $30-$40 and can be ordered by mail, online or by calling 714-442-3872. For updates on construction and to fol-low the story of Showcase 2011, please visit PSHA on Facebook http://www.face-book.com/pages/The-Pasa-dena-Showcase-House-For-The-Arts/182693644177

friendship with owner, Alex Weiser and some of the employees at the farms. Weiser told Bel-tran about a young fam-ily facing a particularly daunting struggle with illness.

Approxi-mately three months ago, two -year -o ld Emily Rico from Pasadena was diagnosed with neuroblas-toma, a painful nerve cancer located in her stomach. The young child has already spent more than a month in Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles where she is presently undergoing in-tensive chemo-therapy. Emily is scheduled for surgery to remove a massive tumor on Monday.

Beltran has planned a fundraising dining experi-ence (thanks to the friend-ship Beltran and Weiser have developed) to help raise necessary funds.

Emily’s father, Gerar-do , who works for Weiser Farms, and his wife, Vale-ria Juarez, do not have sufficient funds for the bal-ance of the operation or for the time they need to take off from work during this critical time period. Part of the healing process is emo-tional as well as physical

and Emily’s parents obvi-ously want to be there for their child.

The distinctive dinner will be an exciting night of culinary creations present-ed in courses prepared by

some of Pasadena’s finest chefs on February 2, at 7pm.

Along with food do-nations from Weiser Fam-ily Farms, the talents of chefs from Noir Food and Wine, Claud & Company Catering, Quadrupel Bras-serie, Japon Bistro and Europanne Bakery will help make this a night to remember while helping a very special young child at the same time.

Claud Beltran, Adam Levoe, Clarence Wong and Sumi Chang are dedi-cated professional chefs who have poured their

hearts into this project which will take place at the Maxwell House in Pasa-dena.

Each chef will pre-pare and present a unique course for the dinner along

with wine to go with each course. Ticket prices are $75.00 per person for this extraordinary wine dinner in honor of this very spe-cial child.

Facing an 8 hour surgery Monday, Emily wasn’t able to breathe due to the size of the tumor.

If you’d like to attend the dinner or help the fam-ily will their growing costs, please call Claud Beltran at (626) 234-6081.

Huntington Memorial Hospital has added a new member and one return-ing member to its board of directors, Louise Henry Bryson, Chair Emeriti of the board of trustees for the J. Paul Getty Trust and Armando Gonzalez, FAIA, founder and prin-cipal of Gonzalez Goodale Architects respectively.

“We are excited to have Louise join us at such an important juncture in the healthcare industry. Her extensive media ex-perience and business acu-men will help to guide us as we navigate the challenges of healthcare reform,” said Stephen A. Ralph, Hun-tington Hospital’s presi-dent and CEO. “And we warmly welcome Arman-do back to the board. His knowledge of the building industry will once again prove instrumental as we work to complete our emergency department ex-pansion project and move forward with our facility master plan.”

Ms. Bryson’s media career has spanned over 30 years. She most recently served as president of dis-tribution for Lifetime En-tertainment Services and executive vice president and general manager of Lifetime Movie Network. Prior to working with Life-time Entertainment, Ms. Bryson was a senior vice president at Fx Networks where she was responsible for distribution of cable

television channels and sta-tion negotiation through-out the United States.

Ms. Bryson is a trustee for six capital manage-ment funds and serves on advisory boards for the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, Stanford’s K-12 Initiative and, from 2005-2010, the Stanford Graduate School of Busi-ness. She chaired the board for KCET, the local PBS station in Los Angeles and is a former member of the PBS National Board, which honored her with the 1998 Award for Excel-lence in Public Television Leadership.

Beginning her multi-faceted career as a public television writer/producer, Ms. Bryson is the recipient of many awards including the 1998 Award for Excel-lence in Public Television Leadership. She holds an MBA and an MAT from Stanford University and is a graduate of the Stanford Broadcast Institute. She received her BA from the University of Washington.

Ms. Bryson resides in San Marino with her hus-band John, and their four daughters.

Armando Gonzalez, FAIA, returns to Hunting-ton Hospital’s board after a one year absence. He initially joined the board in 2004 and served two terms in which he was instrumen-tal in guiding the hospital through the West Tower

construction and emergen-cy department expansion.

Mr. Gonzalez is a for-mer member and chairper-son of the City of Pasadena Community Development Commission where he was a driving force behind the economic, social and cul-tural renovation of Old Pasadena. His expertise in the field of architecture was called upon by the Mayor of Pasadena, who tapped Mr. Gonzalez to guide many capital improvement and urban planning proj-ects.

In addition to his civic services, Mr. Gonzalez has actively worked with local nonprofit organizations. He currently is chair of the board of directors of the Flintridge Center and serves as a board mem-ber for Caltech Associates and the Centro Latino for Literacy. He was also a principal organizer of the Pasadena Community Job Center for day laborers.

Mr. Gonzalez has had extensive experience in healthcare governance, previously serving on the boards of Queen of the Valley and Foothill Pres-byterian hospitals. He was chairman of the board of Citrus Valley Health Part-ners, for which he was awarded Trustee of the Year by the Healthcare As-sociation of Southern Cali-fornia.

Mr. Gonzalez resides in Glendale with his wife, Brenda Berg.

include: Auma Obama, the President’s African American half-sister who introduced him to his Af-rican roots; Jerry Kellman, Founder of Chicago’s Developing Communities Project, who gave Obama his first community orga-nizing job; Loretta Augus-tine-Herron, who worked with Obama on the De-veloping Communities Project at Altgeld Gardens when he was still in his 20s; Judd Miner, whose law firm employed Obama for 10 years; Douglas Baird, former Dean of the Univer-sity of Chicago Law School where Obama once taught as a law professor; Mike Kruglik, an organizer who helped nurture Obama’s skills on Chicago’s South Side in the 1980s; Rever-end/Dr. Alvin Love, pastor of Lilydale Baptist church and one of many ministers that Obama worked with in the community; and many others.

In the film Obama discusses the challenges confronting Chicago’s black community while he was living there by saying: “The burden is on all the

political leadership in the black community to oper-ate with clarity and integ-rity.” Stuart A. Goldman, Executive Producer of the film, said: “It isn’t as if Obama transformed the South Side of Chicago, the story is how the South Side of Chicago transformed Obama.”

The 1993 never-be-seen “lost” interview video in the film was shot by filmmaker, Zeke Gonza-lez, who was 21-years-old at the time. In the video clip, Obama talks about his future in politics by saying: “My general view about politics and running for office is that if you end up being fortunate enough to have the opportunity to

serve, it is because you got a track record of service in the community and I think right now, I am still build-ing up that track record and if it, a point comes where I think that I might do more good in a political office” than someone else, “I might think about it, but that time is certainly in the future.”

Also included in the film is part of President Obama’s election night speech on November 5, 2008, when he said: “If there is anyone out there who still doubts that Amer-ica is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the Dream of our Founders is still alive in our time…tonight is your answer.”

Stuart A. Goldman, Principal of the Stu-art Goldman Company (SGC), has received more that 40 industry awards. SGC projects have includ-ed: the PBS Black History Month Documentary, “Al-berta Hunter: My Castle’s Rockin’;” the CBS-TV movie, “Leona Helmsley: The Queen of Mean;” the acclaimed documentary,

“Elvis in Hollywood;” the 10-part PBS series, “Jo-seph Campbell: Mythos;” and “Elvis & June: A Love Story,” now running on The Biography Chan-nel. In 2010, “Becoming Barack: The Evolution of a Leader,” premiered on President’s Day on BET Networks.

Temple City Voice and TCHS to Co-Sponsor City Council Candidates’ Forum

Congressman David Dreier (R-CA), Chairman of the House Rules Com-mittee, issued the following statement on Wednesday evening in response to President Obama’s State of the Union address:

“Job creation and economic growth are our most urgent national pri-orities. I hope the Presi-dent’s speech tonight is the start a genuine effort to focus on them. The pend-

ing free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea repre-sent a key opportunity for us to work together in a bipartisan way to give our economy a shot in the arm and enhance important bilateral relationships. I applaud the President’s attention to these impor-tant economic agreements. Now, I urge him to follow through by sending all three to the Congress for

their immediate approval. I completely concur with Senate Finance Commit-tee Chairman Max Baucus that these agreements have languished long enough. Combined with a return to pre-bailout, pre-binge spending levels and real tax reform, passage of these FTAs can help put our economy back on sol-id footing and get people back to work.”

several very good things had occurred during the year. She noted that the Police Department had won an internation-al award, the Monrovia Area Partnership had

won a national award and the Monrovia High School football team had won a CIF Champi-onship.

Lutz noted that there were several economic challenges, but that the city council, the city staff and the community were committed to facing those challenges. She pointed out to those assembled that Monrovia was founded

125 years ago in another time of tough economic conditions, but that the city had thrived. She said that Monrovia could do that again.

She did not gloss over

some of the difficulties. Lutz said the unemploy-ment rate in Monrovia was nearly 11%, and that 36% of city’s moneys for the year come from property and sales taxes and that for sev-eral years these have been in decline. She also noted that costs have been in-creasing for several years.

Lutz reiterated what she called the Five Pillars of City Governance that have

guided the city council and staff: “Maintaining Monro-via’s financial footing and stability and doing our jobs efficiently and effectively; keeping Monrovia safe and keeping our infrastructure

strong; and respect-ing and preserving Monrovia’s histori-cal character and quality of life.”

Lutz said that the city has made many cuts over the past few years. Depart-ments had had to cut back across the board and city staffing has been cut by 122%, largely through attri-tion, early retirement and

some layoffs. Other posi-tions were cut to part time. She noted that “Yet, it is the Council’s policy that vital services will remain largely untouched by these cuts. Public Safety remains our top operational prior-ity, second only to financial responsibility.”

There were some pieces of good news: sales tax revenues were up 6% in 2009/2010 and the num-bers from the last part of 2010 look promising and that sales and leases in lo-cal auto dealerships had been increasing, another source of local revenue.

Lutz was highly critical of Governor Jerry Brown’s plans to eliminate funding for redevelopment and re-

direct that money to fund other things. She called in “shortsighted” and pointed to all the projects that had been created in Monrovia with redevelopment funds

including the Krikorian Theatre itself. She said doing away with redevel-opment “is a leap in the wrong direction” in a time when new jobs need to be created and the economy needs stimulation.

She did point out that the Gold Line extension would be starting soon and the Environmental Im-pact Report for a potential Maintenance and Opera-tions Yard here in Monro-via had just been approved by the Gold Line Con-struction Authority moving that project one step closer to realization. The M&O Yard would mean the po-tential for many new jobs in the city and workers us-ing city businesses.

Lutz said that with the potential of losing re-development money, the city had “already begun shifting our emphasis to Economic Development,

throwing our decades of redevelopment know-how and resources in slightly different directions, but with the same intent and the same result – produc-tive and profitable busi-nesses operating in a vi-brant public sector.”

Lutz said there were things that citizens could do to assist in these eco-nomic times. “Shop Mon-rovia” was one of her ma-jor themes pointing out that this aided the sales tax revenue and kept jobs in town.

She praised the city staff, volunteers and citi-zens saying “This is Team Monrovia, and it’s a team that you can be proud of.

“The public officials and public employ-ees of the City of Monrovia are good people doing diffi-cult jobs, and doing them exceptionally well. Monrovia is not Bell. Monrovia is not Vernon, nor is it the State of California.

“We have an open, pro-active and responsive govern-ment. Our citizens are engaged. Com-munication here flows freely, both ways.”

As much as Lutz praised the city for working together, she was critical of the state and its actions.

There was one interesting surprise at the conclusion of

her remarks. She unveiled, what she called a new logo for the city in its 125 year.

A great bass player who is not only a funny guy who just

happens to live in Temple City but Mike Davis leads a double life, serving as sous chef for the FrontRun-ner at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia and playing bass for rockers Dramarama and metal band Halford..

The current Drama-ram lineup consists of frontman John Easdale and several players from Dramarama’s former in-carnation, including lead and rhythm guitar player Peter Wood (the only band member who moved back to New Jersey and still maintains a residence there). Rounding out the band are Los Angeles-based musicians Tony Snow on drums, and (for-mer Lizzy Borden mem-ber) Mike Davis on bass. In addition, Tony Snow leads his own band, Tony Snow & the Change, and Mike Davis is the official

bass player for Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford’s eponymous solo band Hal-ford.

The Dramarama song Anything Anything serves as the title and theme song of New York City radio station WRXP-FM’s free form program “Any-thing Anything with Rich Russo”.. The version from “Live at the China Club” begins each show.

A special live version of “Last Cigarette” was re-corded for the limited edi-tion 500 pressing vinyl al-bum “Anything Anything with Rich Russo on 101.9 RXP presents Exclusive Live Performances” in this version the band replaces “Johnny Carson” with “Rich Russo” as an hom-age to the free form DJ. The Album was released April 2010

Mike took some time out from his busy sched-ule to talk with Michelle Mills, one of the world’s

greatest and most talented Pasadena Doo Dah Queens in history who also just happened to be at the NAMM show two weeks ago. She caught the roving eye of Beacon Me-dia’s roving re-porter, who also just happened to be at Anaheim C o n v e n t i o n Center for the NAMM show. Mills pulled our illustrious pho-tographer away from the incredi-ble drum section of the NAMM show just long enough to meet Mike and a few other classic mu-sicians like Jerry Miller from Moby Grape.

The Annual NAAM (National Association of

Music Merchants) show in Anaheim draws music and instrument manufacturers from around the world

to present their latest and greatest to distributors. It is like a candy store for any musician and attracts

top names in the music business like Yoko Ono, Quincey Jones and Mike Davis to name but a few.

On January 13 at 12:28 p.m., a resident in the 900 block of West Olive report-ed her neighbors were fight-ing and that the male subject had a knife. Officers arrived and summoned paramedics, as both the male and female had injuries. They were tak-en to separate hospitals; their injuries were not life threat-ening. An Emergency Pro-tection Order was obtained on the female’s behalf. Due to their injuries, neither party was arrested. The investiga-tion will be completed and forwarded to the District At-torney’s office.Ex-Felon in Possession of a Loaded Firearm / Ex-Felon in Possession of Ammuni-tion - Suspect Arrested

January 13 at 9:41 p.m., an officer was patrolling the area of Magnolia and Cen-tral when she observed a Lexus with tinted windows that rolled through a stop sign. She attempted a traf-fic stop. The driver did not yield immediately, but eventually stopped at Alta Vista and Montana. Upon approaching, the officer ob-served a rifle in the vehicle and ordered the driver to put his hands on the steering wheel. She requested addi-tional officers. Assisting offi-cers arrived and were able to safely remove the driver and detain him. The weapon had one round of unexpended ammunition in the chamber and a magazine with three additional rounds was found next to the driver seat. The

POLICE BLOTTERSLife RememberedJosé Espinosa

José Espinosa, a multi-talented Jazz and Latin inspired musician and a founding member of the mu-sical group Ozomatli, passed away Wednesday January 5, 2011 after a long fight against

cancer. Espinosa is survived by a loving family including his wife and young children.

Espinosa often shared his talent with fans in Pasa-dena performing regularly at Wine Bar and Restau-rant redwhite+bluezz and events including Pasadena Jazz Fest, Pasadena Wine Festival, The Bridge Party and Make Music Pasadena among many others.

Though a local favorite, Espinosa has fans worldwide who appreciate his high energy and moving perfor-mances.. An acclaimed sax-ophonist, Espinosa has also worked with such esteemed artists as Salvador Santana and the Black Eyed Peas as well as on numerous fea-ture films including Havana Nights and On Any Given Sunday.

“We are deeply sad-dened by the loss of José Espinosa...a great musician and person,” said André C. Vener, one of the own-ers of redwhite+bluezz and founder of event marketing

and production company Pasadena Entertainment. “I have had the honor of work-ing with José both at the res-taurant and at many events throughout the years. He was a rare talent, embraced

by fans and peers who re-spected his excellent percus-sion work and ability to keep the beat flowing smoothly through salsa, Latin jazz and other styles. José will be greatly missed though he will live on forever through his music and his contribu-tions to the industry.”

Among his many ac-complishments, Espinosa created a unique sound root-ed deep in Latin folk and lyrics in both Spanish and English. Espinosa and his former band Ozomatli were also highly regarded for us-ing its popularity to lend a voice to people of struggle. During the 2000 Demo-cratic Convention, Ozom-atli staged a large protest concert outside of the event. Ozomatli released their self-titled debut in 1998 followed by numerous others, world tours and performances at the biggest music festivals across the United States.

Espinosa was born in Havana, Cuba.

Sierra Madre Dread Zeppelin Fundraiser

Gourmet food might not be the first thing that people think about when champion-ship-caliber NASCAR stock car racing comes to mind. And come to mind as it might, the biggest NASCAR race of the year is on tap for this weekend (Friday and Sat-urday, Jan 28-29) at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale.

Of course, when you’re celebrating an event as excit-ing and important as the 8th annual Toyota All-Star Show-down, pre-race celebrations seem to be the order of the day (and the evening) And a parking lot full of Gour-met Food Trucks parked right under the track’s ex-clusive NOS Energy Drink VIP Viewing (and Partying) Deck (located high atop the track s executive offices) just seems to be a natural here in “Cali”.

So fans of good food AND fast stock cars are invit-ed out to Toyota Speedway on Thursday evening, Janu-ary 27 to hang out on the up-per deck, tuck into some su-per-scrumptious food, quaff an adult beverage, or ramp up the action with a cold NOS Energy drink or two, and watch as some of the top NASCAR short track driv-ers in the country set up their steeds for the single most im-portant race of two seasons.

In effect, the annual Toy-ota All-Star Showdown is the national event that not only closes racing for 2010 out by bringing all the champions together one last time, and, at the same time, it also kicks off the 2011 season. Do well here, and set the pace for the year ahead. Get noticed here in Irwindale (there s 6 hours of live TV on Speed!) and your chances to go further

faster in NASCAR are thus accelerated smartly.

Sharing the front row of the grid are host trucks (and these are their Twitter addresses, friends:) @Chop-ChopTruck (Singaporean/American) and @creamery1 (AutoGelato/Ice Cream) a top qualifier and a great fin-isher.

Upstairs at on the NOS VIP Party Deck there’ll be full bar service and a unique “Coming Straight At You” view of some of the top west coast NASCAR stock car rac-ers running hard and fast on the banked oval that they ve called “LA’s Half-Mile Super Speedway” since the day it opened in 1999.

Here’s the kicker for all of the above Admission and parking on Thursday night from 5-10PM? How’s F-R-E-E hit your wallet?

It’s a great way to have a great dinner and see some great stock car action in maybe the most unique sup-per setting ever. No reserva-tions, no neck-choking tie, or stiff dinner jacket, nor slinky cocktail dress with obligatory single strand of pearls are re-quired. Skip the shoe-shine, and leave those 4-inch heels home in the walk-in. Sweat shirts; jeans, racer jackets, and ball caps are the dress code for this one, comfortable casual is the style because we’re talking “Gourmet (English translation: wonder-fully tasty) Food” served by fun people at a wild place for a meal.

Hey Just cup your ear and follow your nose! The first hundred people in at-tendance get a pair of free admission tickets to Friday night’s All-Star Opener Janu-ary 28.

Fast Cars and Gourmet Food Trucks take to the Tracks at Irwindale
