1. COMMUNITY RALLY FOR PUBLIC SAFETY --
FEBRUARY 2 AND 3
Please
join our community at a rally to voice frustration at our City for its
disregard for public safety Saturday and Sunday, February 2 and 3, at 2:30 p.m.
at the corner of Figueroa and Burwood near the Eagle Rock/Highland Park border. Many deaths have occurred
on Figueroa between Buena Vista Terrace and York Boulevard because some drivers
treat that part of Figueroa as if it is a freeway. The latest casualty occurred only three weeks ago.
Thus
far, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation has refused to install a
traffic signal where it is needed most to prevent this loss of life. We need to come together en masse to let the
City know that installation of a traffic light to slow traffic down to a
reasonable speed is very necessary.
Please
join us this weekend! To help gather
petition signatures, pass out future meeting announcements, gather individual
stores, etc., please contact Anita Hultman at pogo6001@yahoo.com. Thanks!

2. REDISTRICTING MEETINGS -- LET YOUR VOICE
BE HEARD!!
Council
District 14 Redistricting Representative Nilza Serrano is working on behalf of
Council member Nick Pacheco and all of his constituents to add economic assets
to the new CD 14, very few of which we now have. By including all of Mt. Washington (in exchange for the part of
Glassell Park we now have, to go to CD 13) and a small portion of downtown Los
Angeles to District 14, we will not only increase our District population (we
currently have approximately 20,000 less constituents than we should), but we
will also ensure a brighter economic future for CD 14.
The
portion of Downtown Los Angeles CD 14 is pursuing currently resides in District
9. Although that portion of Downtown is
less than one tenth of what District 9 holds in Downtown economic assets,
District 9 is very unwilling to give it up.
For a variety of reasons, it is only fair that this part of Downtown be
given to CD 14.
We
need you to come and support this position and support our Council member. Remember, this decision will affect our
District for the next 10 years, so it's very important for CD 14 citizens to
participate!

3. THANKS TO TERA! ERVHS ACQUIRES FINE SCHULMAN PHOTOS
Eagle
Rock Valley Historical Society member Melody Peterson submitted the following
notice:
Eric
Warren, president of the Eagle Rock Valley Historical Society, recently praised
TERA for its role as benefactor in the acquisition of 22 fine art photographs of
Eagle Rock by the esteemed architectural photographer Julius Schulman.
Twenty
of these works depict the construction and early days of the Eagle Rock
Recreation Center Clubhouse designed by famed architect Richard Neutra. There are also two photos of the Eagle Rock
City Hall.
'Mr.
Schulman very generously allowed us to get these photographs at his cost, and
The Eagle Rock Association (TERA) very generously donated right around $550 to
pay for them,' Warren reported
recently.
'The
Eagle Rock Recreation Center Clubhouse is regarded by some as one of Richard
Neutra's greatest buildings and Julius Schulman was, throughout Mr. Neutra's
career, Mr. Neutra's preferred photographer. These photographs are a
significant addition to the ERVHS archives.'
Plans
to exhibit the Schulman photos are in the works.
Next
on the ERVHS schedule is a 'road show' type meeting Tuesday, April 16th. Do you have a favorite and mysterious
antique? Dealer Sharon Hindson and her
experts will be on hand to help solve mysteries and establish approximate value
of such items. Because of time
constraints, only one item per person will be considered for evaluation. Also because of time constraints, first
priority will be given to paid-up members of ERVHS. For further antiques meeting information, call Melody Peterson at
(323) 258-1647.
The
Historical Society welcomes and needs your support. Dues prices are $15 for individual membership, $20 for family or
business, and $300 for Gold Card Life Membership. If you have time for active membership, ERVHS can use help in
building its Oral History Project; in collecting information for the ERVHS Home
History Survey; and on the Hospitality Committee.
For
membership and general information, call Pat Topping at (323) 256-4258.

4. SOFTBALL, SCIENCE AND FIJI HILL: A
RESPONSE FROM OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE
The
following statement was submitted to us by Jim Tranquada, Director of
Communications at Occidental College, in response to neighborhood concerns
published in last week's e.letter regarding the College's plans to develop its
property:
As
many TERA members already know, Occidental College filed a conditional use
permit (CUP) application with the city on Nov. 30 to build a long-awaited new
science building and several other projects, including parking for the new
building where the softball field is now located; a new softball field on the
east side of campus; new lights and other improvements to existing baseball,
soccer and multipurpose fields; permanent bathrooms for Oxy's football field;
and an addition to the Culley Athletic Facility to create a modern fitness
center. The application is now working its way through the city process, which
will culminate in a public hearing before the Planning Commission later this
spring. (The date for the hearing has not yet been set.)
Under
the name of CANAL (Citizens Against Noise And Lights) homeowners on Avenue 50
who live across the street from the proposed site of the new softball field are
circulating a petition opposing the project. While its concern about new
development is understandable, CANAL's arguments do not always coincide with
the facts.
Driving
the need for the new softball field is construction of the long-planned science
building and the new parking the building will require. Over the past several
years, Occidental has raised $12 million to build the Physical, Earth and
Environmental Science Center, or PEESC building, which would house the
departments of physics, geology, and environmental science. All three are currently
crowded into 88-year-old Fowler Hall, one of Occidental's original Myron Hunt
buildings that was not designed for modern science. Bell Field, the current
softball field at the main entrance to campus at Alumni Avenue, is the only
flat area of sufficient size that can accommodate parking for the new building
at a cost that is not prohibitive.
CANAL
argues that because the 41,000-square-foot PEESC building will not add
students, faculty or programs, there is no need for additional parking.
However, as Councilman Nick Pacheco explained to CANAL members at a
neighborhood meeting on October 20, city parking requirements are based on
square footage, not on numbers of people. City staff has repeatedly informed us
that any proposal to forgo additional parking for the PEESC building is not
realistic. On weekends and off-hours, PEESC parking also will reduce the amount
of on-street parking that has been a source of concern to our neighbors
immediately south of campus.
The
fundamental problem facing the College is that all of its relatively flat,
buildable land has already been developed. Because we are surrounded on all
sides by residential neighborhoods, there is no place to build new facilities
that is not near someone's home. The proposed 4-acre softball field and hammer
throw site (part of 35 undeveloped acres owned by the College) is the only
feasible area of sufficient size on campus for such facilities, a site chosen
to minimize the amount of hillside grading necessary and for its proximity to
our existing baseball and soccer fields. The completed softball field would lie
more than 100 feet below the 863-foot summit of Fiji Hill, and the adjacent
hammer throw would lie about 90 feet below the summit. Neither would obstruct
views from the top of Fiji. Although CANAL calls the site "pristine,"
soil tests show that as much as 30 feet of fill (dirt, concrete, brick, and
other debris) lie under significant portions of the site. Most of the trees on
site were among the hundreds planted within the past 10 years as part of a
joint effort between Occidental and Northeast Trees. (A complete survey of the
site found no threatened, endangered or rare plant or animal species.)
Occidental's
proposal also includes placing lights on the new softball and the existing
baseball, soccer and multipurpose fields. (No lights are proposed for the
hammer throw.) Because Occidental athletes are truly scholar/athletes who
receive no scholarships, practice and game schedules are built around class
schedules. Softball, baseball and soccer are played during the fall and winter
when days are short and classes and labs run until 5 or 6 p.m., severely
limiting weekday practices and games. The proposed lights would incorporate the
latest technology to control glare, including baffles that would prevent light
from spilling out beyond the field and shining into neighbors' homes. The fact
that a portion of the field would be set into the hillside would further reduce
glare and light spill. While CANAL uses football games at Franklin High School as
an example of what lighted fields at Oxy would mean, Tiger softball games
attract an average of 15 spectators on weekdays and 35 on Saturdays during a
season that runs from mid-January to the end of April.
In
response to neighborhood concerns, our CUP application includes a variety of
restrictions on our use of the fields, including no night games on weekends;
automatic shut-off of lights at 10 p.m. (most practices run no later than 8
p.m.); no public address systems on the softball, soccer and multipurpose
fields; and no use of the fields by outside entities for non-athletic events.
To ensure continued neighborhood access to Mt. Fiji and Oxy's remaining 31
undeveloped acres, the College's plans include a pedestrian gate on Avenue 50,
while routing vehicular traffic to the field through campus.
Throughout
the process, we have tried to keep the community fully informed of our plans.
We held our first neighborhood meeting in May 1998 and another two meetings
last summer to brief neighbors and to solicit their input. We appeared before
TERA's land use committee on Oct. 18 and followed up with a Nov. 28 letter to
the community, detailing our response to neighbors' concerns. We hand-delivered
copies of the CUP application to each neighbor on Avenue 50. And it's not too
late for further changes, based on suggestions from our neighbors.
Occidental
is engaged in the difficult task of trying to balance its educational mission
with its goal of being a good neighbor. We are grateful for TERA's willingness
to allow us to tell our side of the story. If you have any questions, please
contact me at (323) 259-2990 or at jtranq@oxy.edu.

5. AMBASSADOR HOTEL ACTION ALERT -- FEBRUARY
5
The
following was submitted by Ken Bernstein, Director of Preservation Issues, the
Los Angeles Conservancy:
Many
thanks to those of you who attended last Saturday's community meeting on the
future of the Ambassador Hotel. The
community support for preservation and reuse of the Ambassador as a centerpiece
of LAUSD's plans for the property was very impressive. We wanted to let you know that the Los
Angeles City Council is considering whether to weigh in on the Ambassador
debate, and the Conservancy needs your help again.
On Tuesday,
Feb. 5th, 2:00 p.m. at City Hall (200 N. Spring St.), Rm. 1060, the City
Council's Education and Neighborhoods Committee will hear a motion by
Councilman Nate Holden putting the Council on record in support of designating
half of the Ambassador site (along Wilshire Boulevard) for mixed-use/commercial
development. The Conservancy is greatly
concerned about the specific wording of this motion: because the historic main
hotel building sits in the middle of the property, dividing the property in
half would, by definition, require demolition of the hotel. While the Council's position is not binding
on LAUSD, political support at all levels will be crucial to preserving the
Ambassador. We will be asking the
Council to defer taking an official position at this time, and to encourage
LAUSD to work constructively with the Conservancy and the Wilshire business
community as it considers the future of the Ambassador.
The
Conservancy will be present to discuss our reuse plans for the Ambassador, but
we need community members to let the Council know how important the Ambassador
is to all of Los Angeles, and to explain what a remarkable opportunity we have
to create a truly great educational campus for LA's kids. (Attached is our one-page summary outlining
the reuse opportunity). The members of
the committee that will be hearing this item are Council members Janice Hahn
(Chair), Alex Padilla, and Tom LaBonge.
We
hope to see you at City Hall on Tuesday.

6. OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE MARINE SCIENCE PROGRAM
WINS $165,000 EISENHOWER GRANT
Occidental
College's Marine Science Experience (MSE) program, which provides public and
private school teachers with oceanographic research opportunities for their
students, has been given a $165,236 Teacher and Principal Quality Training and
Recruiting Fund (formerly known as the Eisenhower program) award from the
California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC).
The
grant allows the college to continue MSE for a fourth year and increase teacher
participation. Fifteen high school and 15 middle school teachers will now be
able to take part in the summer program, which enables educators to do research
aboard Oxy's research vessel, the Vantuna. Previously, only five high school
teachers participated in MSE each year.
MSE
is operated by Oxy's TOPS program (Teachers + Occidental = Partnership in
Science). Now in its 10th year, TOPS reaches 7,500 high school students each
year. The program provides access to modern science equipment for teachers who
are trained at Oxy to conduct seven teacher-developed lab assignments. TOPS
targets students within a 25-mile radius of campus, from Woodland Hills in the
west, Rowland Heights in the east, Valencia in the north and Paramount in the
south. MSE expects to reach 2,000 students, many of them at underperforming
campuses. Program organizers hope to galvanize interest in marine science by
offering hands-on assignments. Students, for example, will learn how to collect
specimens and water data aboard the Vantuna.
"The
sterile process of learning specific facts kills the excitement of science in
the minds of many students," says chemistry Professor Chris Craney,
associate dean and director of Oxy's Undergraduate Research Center. "These
students then do not persist in the study of science and are not prepared to
grasp the importance of science in their lives as a voter, consumer, employee
and citizen. The Marine Science Experience program will help students learn to
think, talk and understand science while engaged in authentic experiments under
the guidance of experienced teachers."
The
MSE program was launched in 1999 after the college won a prestigious Award for
the Integration of Research and Integration (AIRE) from the National Science
Foundation. The CPEC grant allows Oxy to hire two resource teachers who, during
the school year, will mentor the summer program participants as they introduce
marine research in their classrooms. Oxy expects to renew its CPEC funding in
each of the next two years.

PETITION SIGNERS
"24
January 2002
Walgreens
200
Wilmot Road
Deerfield
IL 60015
To
whom it may concern:
I was
deeply shocked to learn today of the collaboration between Walgreen's
upper-level executives and the tobacco industry, as came to light in The Eagle
Rock Association's e-mail newsletter. The idea that a corporation operating
stores referred to as "health centers" would voluntarily enlist in
the business of promoting tobacco products to young people by associating and
juxtaposing Pokemon items and tobacco at checkout counters is so bizarrely brash
and cynical, in view of what is now widely known about tobacco's effects, that
it almost defies belief.
Till
now my opposition to a Walgreens store in my community of Eagle Rock was based
on my seeing no need for yet another pharmaceutical-type outlet here, and on
the associated destruction of a community landmark building. I am now implacably opposed to any intrusion
by Walgreens into this community under any circumstances, and will make my
feelings known at future community meetings.
Shame
on you! Shame for your greed, shame for your rush to do evil!"

Peter E. Sutheim, Eagle Rock resident, businessperson and parent
"I

Julia Frey, West Los Angeles resident
"If
the building is demolished I will never do business with Walgreens. I have been a resident of Eagle Rock for 5
years and am proud of the direction it has been going. Honor that and try to fit in without being
destructive. The building is beautiful. Keep it that way.
--
Heather Ashton, Eagle Rock resident
"We
work and study in various L.A. communities and would avoid shopping at
Walgreens entirely if their presence is destructive to the community we moved
into 4 months ago because of the architecture and small town feel. Also, we approve of serving wine at Fatty's
and think they lend a welcome sophistication and urban draw to the
community."

Los Angeles. New is not always better."
--
Alan Morier, Eagle Rock resident
"I
recently signed the petition against Walgreens tearing down the Shopping Bag
building at swork, but I want to make sure that my input gets taken into
consideration. So, as as result of
reading TERA's recent newsletter, I'll offer the following:
I may
wish that Walgreens wasn't the most recent national chain honing in on Eagle
Rock, but I can accept it. However,
when the building of their choice, in this case the Shopping Bag building, has
so much character, it would be a real shame to allow them to tear the existing
building down to build a new building, without a fight. Many chains, in surrounding areas (such as
Pottery Barn, Urban Outfitters, etc.) have spent the money to refurbish old
buildings and retain the charm of the neighborhood. These retailers ultimately benefit from this effort. If Eagle Rock can preserve its historic
buildings and make Colorado a more attractive area to walk in, all of the area
businesses, including Walgreens, will benefit.
I hope they can think of the long-term benefits rather than short-term
profits.
Good
luck TERA in your efforts. And thank
you for making me aware of the situation.
I will boycott Walgreens if they move in and tear down that building. Whereas, if they fix up the existing
building, and develop a store with character, I will shop there.
Eagle
Rock is such a sweet neighborhood. When
I bought a little house here (South of Colorado!) eight years ago, my westside
friends couldn't understand . They had
never even heard of the place. When I
drive down Colorado and see the newer strip malls, it makes me sad. I try to focus on the cute hotel, Pillars,
and other original buildings. I spend
my own money to sand down my wood house and keep it up when stuccoing over it
would be cheaper, but I'm TRYING to maintain my own home in its original 1923
condition. I would be SO great if area
businesses did the same. It's
frustrating!"
--
Jennifer Root, Eagle Rock resident and homeowner
[Editor's
Note: Stuccoing over a wood-sided house
IS NOT cheaper than retaining the home's original siding. It generally leads to wood rot of the
covered siding and devalues the stuccoed home and those around it. A historic building's original character and
architectural features should always be preserved.]
"At
our January monthly meeting we unanimously voted to support the preservation of
The Shopping Bag building in Eagle Rock.
We would encourage the developers and/or lease-hold tenants to adaptively
reuse this historic resource instead of demolishing it. Adaptive re-use works for urban communities
that would like to preserve a "Main Street" aesthetic while
simultaneously building an strong economic base.
Please
feel free to forward our position of preservation and adaptive re-use to any
and all necessary officials involved in this proposed project. In addition to our organization's position,
I know that many individuals members have also signed TERA's petition. Best regards --"

10. LETTERS AND E.MAILS
"Thank
you so much for including the article about Occidental's plans for Mt. Figi in
your newsletter.
I
just would like to add that it is not only nearby residents who oppose these
plans. I live in Highland Park and have
gotten signatures to a petition opposing Occidental's plans from people who
live in many different sections of Los Angeles County -- including East LA,
Sierra Madre, the South Bay, and West LA.
Most of us are women activists. Our concern is not only with property
values or personal comfort but with the state of our earth, which is constantly
under attack by developers who think undeveloped areas are "just
dirt" (as I understand one male politician described Mt. Figi).
When
one of LA's remaining essential wildlife corridor is threatened -- by a
university, no less! -- we see this an attack on our entire community, not
merely on those who are unlucky enough to live near 'ground zero.' Sincerely --"

Andres, Highland Park resident
"Does
TERA support CANAL? Occidental College is one of the good things in this town.
The girls at Oxy need a softball field and the upper fields where my 10 year
old daughter (Eagle Rock resident and Dahlia Heights student) plays soccer at
night, are too dark. Not all development is bad. If the residents near Oxy
didn't want to live with noise and light, then whey did they buy a home near a
college?"

Let it not be for present delight, nor for present use alone; let it be
such work as our descendents will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay

the labor and wrought substance of them, 'See!
This our fathers did for us!'"
