1. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE -- TAKING A LOOK AT LAND USE
Spotlight on TERA's Planning and Land Use Committee
As a new year's resolution, please consider being part of one of TERA's many
great committees! In upcoming weeks, I will spotlight each of our
committees and chairs, starting this week with TERA's Land Use Committee.
For further details, you can always check out our website at
http://www.tera90041.org
TERA's Planning and Land Use Committee, commonly referred to as the Land
Use Committee, regularly meets at the Eagle Rock Library on the third
Wednesday of every month at 6:00 p.m. Chaired by Michael Tharp, a
veteran of the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and currently a private
land use consultant, the Land Use Committee's purpose is to review land use
issues in Eagle Rock as well as citywide land use and planning issues, and to
make recommendations to the TERA Board for TERA's advocacy before various
decision-making bodies.
TERA seeks a proactive role in developing and preserving that which makes Eagle
Rock special, rather than simply reacting to development proposals. It is
therefore important that we have active participants representing numerous
interests of Eagle Rock to create land use initiatives rather than simply react
to them.
The Land Use Committee has undertaken two ongoing projects. First, the
Land Use Committee is conducting a survey of commercial buildings that are
potentially of historic merit in the community to preserve and perpetuate Eagle
Rock's rich historic character. This survey has been undertaken with
advice and assistance from the Eagle Rock Historical Society. Its goal is
to develop information on the various buildings which may be useful to both
property owners and tenants in seeking historic designation for their building
and possibly obtaining state and federal tax benefits, as well as community
support and appreciation.
Work on the project is ongoing, with volunteers researching newspapers and
periodicals at the public library in search of information on the history of
various buildings. In addition, City of Los Angeles Building and Safety
records are being researched to determine the extent of the modifications to
the various buildings. Other volunteers are photographing buildings.
Once all of the information available has been assembled, it will be
placed into a binder and presented to the property owners and tenants for their
use. Because all of the work is being done by Committee volunteers as time
permits, it is painstaking work. But, at the end of the project, there
will be a record of the history of over twenty significant buildings that are
special to the Eagle Rock Community, and so we are fully committed to its
completion.
Second, the Land Use Committee has undertaken the investigation and analysis of
billboards throughout Eagle Rock. While many billboards are legal and
permitted, throughout Los Angeles there are many billboards that have no
permits and are not legal. The Committee has been collecting data on
these potentially illegal signs with the aim of reducing visual blight in Eagle
Rock. As with all volunteer projects, its movement depends on the number
of volunteers available, but the important thing is that it keeps moving forward.
The Land Use Committee also reviews proposed planning and land use issues, such
as applications for conditional use permits, zone variances, and other matters
to be considered by the City of Los Angeles, and makes recommendations to the
TERA Board on whether or not to support such applications. Applicants are
encouraged to bring their proposed projects to the Committee for review and
recommendation. The Committee monitors future development sites, such as
the Von's-owned properties near La Loma and Figueroa in the easterly part of
Eagle Rock.
There is a core of volunteers working hard for Eagle Rock on the Land Use
Committee. Join us! For all of the projects we have undertaken, the
more participation we get, the sooner we will achieve these worthy goals for
Eagle Rock! If you are interested in joining the Land Use Committee, or
have issues to bring before it, please contact Committee Chair Michael Tharp by
e-mail at MBTharp@prodigy.net and you will be sent an agenda for the next TERA
Planning and Land Use Committee meeting.
Hope to see you on Wednesday!
-- Hilary Norton Orozco
2. MEET THE GARDENERS WHO KNOW ALL THE DIRT -- JANUARY 27
TERA will kick off its 2004 public meeting schedule on Tuesday, January
27, with "How Does Your Garden Grow?: A Forum on Flora," at
the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock.
The event will offer presentations and dialogue with experts from such
horticultural treasures as North East Trees, the Theodore Payne Foundation,
the Los Angeles Community Garden Council, and LA Common Ground/the
Master Gardener Program.
The event, including refreshments and local cuisine, is free and open to all,
whether your thumbs are green, black or blue! Please bring your
"growing" dilemmas and desires for our panel to ponder.
A $2.00 donation is requested of each attendee to defray insurance costs for
this event. For additional information, please contact Mary Tokita at
mtokita@earthlink.net.
3. IMPROVE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE CITY'S HELP
Council District 14 Field Deputy Michael Cathey sends us word that the 2004
Neighborhood Matching Fund Applications are now available through the 14th
district field office at 2035 Colorado Boulevard in Eagle Rock, or online at
http://www.lacity.org/bpw/ocs/nmf.
The Neighborhood Matching Fund is a splendid City of Los Angeles program that
offers neighborhood groups the opportunity to receive matching grants of
between $250 and $10,000 to fund locally initiated improvement projects.
The awards may be matched by a community's contribution of cash, in-kind
contributions, and/or volunteer labor. If you or a group you work
with has a neighborhood improvement project you've been trying to get off the
ground, the Neighborhood Matching Fund might be a source of financial support.
See also item #8 below for news of an important informational meeting
devoted to explaining the ins and outs of the Neighborhood Matching Grant
program.

5. CENTER FOR THE ARTS, EAGLE ROCK, NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT
The Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock, sends us this announcement of their
current fundraising needs:
"As you know, the Eagle Rock Community Cultural Association
is now the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock.
"We remain an arts-learning and arts-producing organization, but more than
our name is changing. As of June 2003, the ERCCA is no longer under the
financial wing of the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department (CAD).
Therefore, in this coming fiscal year, 2003-2004, the Center needs to
focus on two areas:
"We must move from a state of dependence (having been under the care of
the City for our first five years) to a state of independence. This is an
important, challenging time for us.
"Please help us continue to fulfill our mission of providing
multi-cultural, low-cost art classes, free festivals, concerts, and contemporary
art exhibitions to the communities of northeast Los Angeles. During our
last fiscal year, we offered four eight-week sessions offering 27 classes to
adults and children, four art camps, 12 art exhibitions with over 60 artists
shown, three free festivals, and one open house. Last year the attendance
doubled at both the Center's exhibitions and festivals.
"You can help the Center in two ways:
"There's still time to make a donation to our Holiday Campaign, 100% of
which will go directly to support our programming. All donations are
welcomed and will make a difference. An endorsement from our community
will be a great help in future fundraising campaigns. Please send your
donations to ERCCA, 2225 Colorado Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90041. Our
federal id number for tax purposes is 95-4689576.
"On March 13th, 2004, the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock is holding its
second annual Route 66 Art Auction. We need your support and your
art. 100% of the funds raised from this auction will be used to support
the exhibition of the work of both emerging and established artists, and also
our arts learning programs (27 classes for children and adults). Since the
Center is a non-profit corporation, we, of course, will provide you with a
receipt for your taxes. Also, artists will have the option to receive a
percentage of the proceeds.
"The Board and the staff thank you for any and all support you can give
us. Please call us if you have any questions regarding the auction or our
programming: (323) 226-1617. Or visit us on our website,
http://www.centerartseaglerock.org. We look forward to the opportunity to
speak to you about our Center."

Rock
6. EAGLE ROCK NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL CLEAN UP -- JANUARY 17
From Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council District 6 Director Cheryl Leutjen
comes news of the next Community Clean-Up Day:
"The Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council District 6 has announced plans to
beautify the western entrance to Eagle Rock with a Community Clean-Up Day
to spruce up the area around the 2 Freeway off ramp that leads into Eagle Rock.
The project takes place on Saturday, January 17 from 9 a.m. to noon.
Volunteers will meet in the far northwest corner of the upper level parking lot
of the Westfield Shoppingtown, which is located near the intersection of
Colorado Boulevard and the 2 freeway off ramp. (And we extend our
thanks to the proprietors of Westfield Shoppingtown Eagle Rock for for making
the space available to us.) Clean-up supplies will be provided by City of
Los Angeles Operation Clean Sweep.
"All are welcome; you do not need to be a stakeholder of District 6 to
participate. Hope to see you there!"
-- Cheryl Leutjen, District 6 Director, Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council
7. LAKER A.C. GREEN AND THE POLICE CHIEF BRING US TOGETHER --
JANUARY 18
On Sunday, January 18th, former
Los Angeles Laker A.C. Green will lead a multi-ethnic and
multi-denominational audience of community, church and political leaders in a
program aimed at racial reconciliation. This conference is timed to honor
the achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and his dream of racial
equality and harmony.
Mr. Green, prominent as a Christian athlete during his years as an
All-Star player in the NBA, will be joined by Pasadena Police Chief Bernard
Melekian and Pastor Curtis May, director of the office of
reconciliation ministries of the Worldwide Church of God, which is
sponsoring the event in the acclaimed Ambassador Auditorium.
The program, ³Removing Walls, Building Bridges,² will include a wide
ranging discussion on what each of us can do to build permanent bridges across
the racial divides in our society. A centerpiece of the event will be a
showing of the award-winning film, ³Final Solution,² which chronicles
the astonishing true story of Gerrit Wolfaardt, a white South African
paramilitary member whose life was transformed by God¹s intervention. Mr.
Wolfaardt is now an ordained minister living in the United States and devoting
his life to racial reconciliation.
Of special note to the preservation-minded, this event will be one of the
few times that Pasadena's historic Ambassador Auditorium is open to the
public.

"We are former Los Angeles folks now
living in Brooklyn and our plans are to return to Los Angeles in the next few
months and open a wine store in Eagle Rock. Since we've left, many
of our friends have moved to the Eagle Rock area and they tell us that it is
the perfect place to set up shop. We were inspired
by some of our local anti-wine-snob, customer service-oriented wine stores here
in Brooklyn and can't wait to turn our long-time hobby into a career.
We would love to hear what people in your area might be looking for in a
wine store. We have our wish
list and, while not everything will be
feasible right out of the gate, most
importantly we would like to know if this is a welcome idea and if it's something the community needs and wants. We
would welcome hearing thoughts and comments anyone might want to offer.
Thank you very much..."
-- John Nugent and Jennifer Morgan, Brooklyn
Thanks for offering our readers a chance to
weigh in on your new venture. Anyone interested in communicating with John
and Jennifer should contact them directly by email to jcnugent@earthlink.net.

"My name is Kristen Muller and I am a new resident of Eagle
Rock. I was wondering if TERA has ever discussed the issue of sound walls
alongside the 134? There seem to be sound walls on the 134 through the
San Fernando Valley and then again in Pasadena. The sound of morning
traffic from the freeway leaves a lot to be desired and I was just wondering if
there was anything that could be done about it. Thanks."
-- Kristen Muller, Eagle Rock
Thanks for asking, Kristin. For the answer to your question, we
consulted TERA President Emeritus Joanne Turner, who's been following this
subject for some time. Here's her reply:
"Eagle Rock was promised a freeway sound wall years ago. (As you
note, both Glendale and Pasadena already have theirs.) With the state of
the state in such crisis, I doubt anything will be done anytime soon, unless
there are funds that have been earmarked and set aside.
"Actually, a neighbor of mine named Angel Corral has been working on this
issue for eight to ten years. Every time he gets close to getting
something done about it, administrations change and he has to begin all over
again. It's been quite frustrating for him."

"The Los Angeles Boys and Girls Club
in Lincoln Heights is going through a grand transformation for its 60th
anniversary this year and
we need your help. Through a grant from the NBA and its corporate
partners like Home Depot, the club is getting a much needed face lift in the
next several weeks.
"We need volunteers to help paint the inside and outside of
the building over the next few Saturdays: January 17, 24, and 31. We need
you from 9:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. on one of these Saturdays (or two or three!)
All materials are supplied. We need your to help transform
the club from an institutional looking plant to a fun, happy place. Please
get in touch with me if you can find the time to volunteer for this most worthy
cause."

Thanks for letting us know, Alan. Readers who would like to volunteer
are invited to contact Alan directly at (323) 221-9111, extension 17.

"I love your e-newsletter and all the
hopeful news it provides about my neighborhood. However, I wonder if
there is any room in your e-letter for a police blotter type of column?
"I live in the 5100 block of High Crest, north of Colorado, near Figueroa,
and my once-peaceful neighborhood has been experiencing a nasty crime problem.
Within the last few months, two cars were broken into, one stolen, and
one house has been burglarized.
"Perhaps if we increased community awareness of these types of problems,
they could be mitigated."
-- Lydia Iacono, High Crest Avenue, Eagle Rock
Thanks for writing, Lydia. We have no plans to run a police
blotter feature in the e.letter, but are happy to run your letter as a way of
shining a light on your current situation. This might also be a good time
to remind people that Eagle Rock has a thriving Neighborhood Watch network
that's dedicated to keeping area crime in check. Officer Joe Galindo,
Senior Lead LAPD Officer for Eagle Rock, conducts monthly Neighborhood Watch
meetings at the Eagle Rock City Hall, and all are welcome to attend. All
meetings take place from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. January's scheduled meeting
takes place tonight, January 15, with subsequent meetings scheduled on the following
dates: February 19, March 18, April 15, May 20, June 17, July 15, August 3,
September 16, October 21 and November 18. (There will be no meeting in
