Around our house election time is generally called “The Silly Season”,
where friends, friends of friends, people who think they met me once in
Junior High School, and people who may met someone who went to my junior
high school call or send envelopes requesting anywhere from $25.00 to
$25,000.00 to support the candidate of their choice. The latter usually
includes a photo op with someone you wouldn’t want to be seen next to
anyway. But elections are important for the democratic process and
participation with an informed decision is also needed for the process to
function as it was intended.
I was at a political fund raiser at the Beverly Hilton a number of
years ago and was fortunate enough to hear keynote speaker Anne Richards,
the late former governor of Texas, along with one of my favorite political
writers, the late Molly Ivans, also of Texas fame. Ms. Richards was
expounding on the need to go beyond just participation and to really give
for what you believe. She suggested that at a minimum, everybody look at
the clothes they were wearing at the time (Beverly Hilton, remember?) and
be willing to support their cause or candidate at a level at least equal
to the value of the clothes on their back. Of course, for me this came to
about $39.95, but looking around the crowd there seemed to be a lot of
potential $5,000 + donors. The moral of this story is, of course, to wear
cheap clothes to political fund raisers.
All of which brings me to two political events which deserve your
support. The first is the Meet and Greet the Candidates running for the
14th Council District seat, jointly sponsored by the Eagle Rock
Neighborhood Council and TERA, to be held at the Center for the Arts,
Eagle Rock on Thursday, February 8, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. More details are
given below. This is an opportunity to get up close and personal with the
candidates running for office. The largest portion of the program is
allowing the candidates to interact with members of the audience in an
unstructured fashion with no interference from moderators and no softball
questions other than the ones you ask.
The other event is the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council Election. Carol
and I spend a good deal of time discussing the Los Angeles Neighborhood
Council system and how it works. We don’t always agree on everything, but
one thing we feel strongly about is that the most successful councils are
those which have a broad range of participation. If you know of good
people, encourage them to run for one of the open positions, or better
yet, run yourself.
Laurel and Apryl have another edition of Eagle Rock Talks ready to go.
The web address is in the letters section and one of the people
interviewed is Kathleen Aberman, one of TERA’s founding members. And, for
entertainment value in the ongoing debate about organic vs. not certified
organic, a friend of mine sent me the following web address, which as of
this writing was still up and running: http://www.storew

Michael Tharp,
President

HARRY BELAFONTE TO SPEAK AT OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE FEB. 6
Entertainer and social activist Harry Belafonte will give a talk titled
“A Committed Life,” at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 6 in Occidental College’s
Thorne Hall. The talk is free and open to the public. Belafonte’s artistic
and humanitarian work has been recognized with an Emmy, a Tony, the
National Medal of Arts, the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Prize and the
Nelson Mandela Courage Award. His 1955 “Calypso” album was the first to
sell a million copies, and he was an organizer of the “We are the World”
song, which raised millions of dollars for famine relief in Africa. He has
served as a cultural adviser for the Peace Corps and a goodwill ambassador
for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
Belafonte’s support of the civil rights movement took place both in
public and behind the scenes. He first met King in New York City in 1956,
becoming a confidant and supporter until King’s death in 1968. In 1963, he
raised $50,000 for King’s bail after he was jailed in Birmingham, Ala.
Later that year, he hosted a meeting in his home between Sen. Robert F.
Kennedy and black activists, including the author James Baldwin. And in
1968, when he guest hosted “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” for a
week, he had King on the show.
Belafonte’s Feb. 6 appearance is part of Occidental’s First Tuesday
Speaker Series. Sponsored by the Remsen Bird Fund, the series brings a
dynamic speaker to campus on the first Tuesday of every month. Past
speakers include Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, author Reza
Aslan, and journalists Paul Glastris and Stephen F. Hayes.

Angeles. The auction will feature established, gallery-represented artists

was a piece to suit every attendee’s taste, desire, and budget.
The Silent Auction will begin at 7 p.m.
The Live Auction will begin at 9:30 p.m.
While bidding on art, enjoy appetizers courtesy of Minx, and a no-host

Paul Farmer to
Speak at Oxy |
|
MEDICAL ACTIVIST PAUL FARMER TO SPEAK AT OCCIDENTAL FEB. 17
Physician, medical anthropologist and MacArthur “genius” grant
recipient Dr. Paul Farmer will speak on “Global Health Equity – Examples
from Haiti to Rwanda” at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 17 on the Occidental
College campus. Farmer’s talk in Alumni Auditorium (Johnson Hall 200) will
launch Occidental’s new Phi Beta Kappa Speakers Forum. The presentation is
free and open to the public.
Should the bird flu break out one day in the United States, Farmer
would be one of the first experts consulted on how to contain the
pandemic. A professor of social medicine at Harvard Medical School and
medical director of a free clinic for the rural poor in Haiti, he is a
founding director of Partners in Health, an international charity that
focuses on providing care to people plagued by illness and poverty.
Drawing on his experience as a practicing physician and as chief of the
Division of Social Medicine and Health Inequalities at Brigham and Women’s
Hospital (BWH) in Boston, Farmer has pioneered novel, community-based
treatment strategies for AIDS and tuberculosis (including
multidrug-resistant tuberculosis) in collaboration with colleagues in the
United States, Haiti, Peru, and Russia.
He has written extensively about health and human rights, and about the
role of social inequalities in the distribution and outcome of infectious
diseases. His books include Pathologies of Power (University of California
Press, 2003) and Infections and Inequalities (University of California
Press, 1998). In 1993, Farmer was awarded a John D. and Catherine T.
MacArthur Foundation “genius award” in recognition of his work. He is the
subject of Tracy Kidder’s Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr.
Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World (Random House, 2003). A
graduate of Duke, Farmer received his M.D. and Ph.D. from Harvard. New
York entrepreneur Robert Merriman Ruenitz ’60 and his wife Jeri Hamilton
established the Phi Beta Kappa Speakers Forum at Occidental last year to
bring a provocative speaker to the campus each spring.
The purpose of the Phi Beta Kappa Speakers Forum is twofold: to create
an opportunity for student leaders from various disciplines to know each
other better, and to bring a speaker to campus that will spark discussion,
possibly leading to action beyond the normal academic experience.
Directions to and a map of the Occidental campus can be found at http:/

Workshop on
Lummis & the Culture of the Arroyo Seco |
|
EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP OFFERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH "LUMMIS DAY: THE
FESTIVAL OF NORTHEAST L.A."
An educational workshop created in conjunction with the second annual
"Lummis Day: The Festival of Northeast Los Angeles", will get under way
this week (Saturday, Feb. 3) as teachers from Los Angeles Unified schools
visit Northeast Los Angeles cultural landmarks to begin an immersive
workshop in Los Angeles history.
Designed in cooperation with the Los Angeles Unified School District,
the workshop, "Charles Lummis and the Culture of the Arroyo Seco,"
emphasizes the geography of the Arroyo Seco watershed, transportation, the
urban wilderness and the heritage of inhabitants of the Arroyo,
characterized by the larger-than-life persona of Charles Lummis, first
city editor of the Los Angeles Times, a city librarian, founder of the
Southwest Museum and an early proponent of Native American Rights. The
workshop was designed by former Los Angeles Unified teacher and "Lummis
Day" organizing committee member Carmela Gomes.
At the workshop's February 3 opening session, the teachers will take a
native plants walk at Audubon Center in Debs Park under the guidance of
Wilderness Way Magazine editor Christopher Nyerges and will also hear from
naturalist Jeff Chapman. Arroyo Seco Foundation director Tim Brick will
discuss the Arroyo watershed, author/artist Don Newton will present
material from his book, "The Beginning of the World" and Julia Bogany will
discuss the Tongva, the first people of the Arroyo.
On Saturday, February 10, participants will assemble at Heritage Square
Museum for a docent tour, move to Lummis Home for a tour and a
conversation with poet Suzanne Lummis, meet at Ramona Hall for
presentations by Nicole Possert, Virginia Neeley and Carmela Gomes and
finish their day with a docent tour of the famed Judson Studios glass
atelier.
Workshop attendees include teachers from Jefferson High School, Reseda
High School, Carson High School, Lawrence Middle School, Gage Middle
School, Thomas Starr King Middle School, Porter Middle School, Mount
Washington Elementary School, Toland Way Elementary School and Yorkdale
Elementary School.
The 15-hour workshop is an LAUSD-approved Multicultural-General Point
Credit Class and consists of 15 hours of face-to-face participation and 30
hours of individual preparation.
Student projects based on the workshop curriculum will be displayed at
The Second annual "Lummis Day" festival, scheduled for Sunday, June 3 at
Lummis Home and Sycamore Grove Park. The Festival is sponsored by the
Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council and the Historic Highland Park
Neighborhood Council with support from public radio station KPFK 90.7,

Highland Park
Farmers Market |
|
Seth Budick writes:
Strawberry season in Southern California is a pretty remarkable thing,
being essentially endless. While the summer certainly brings the greatest
bonanza of berries, a dozen or so varieties are cultivated in the region,
each with its own particular climatological preference, ensuring us a
constant supply of delicious fruit. So, even as production slows in the
winter months, we're lucky enough to enjoy a source of sweet berries in
the form of Santiago Farms.
While strawberries are fairly ubiquitous at local farmers markets,
raspberries are a much rarer treat since they typically prefer the cooler
temperatures of Northern California and hit their stride in the summer and
fall. Once again though, Santiago Farms, from Nipomo, near San Luis
Obispo, comes to the rescue, with wonderful raspberries and blackberries
even in winter's midst. Both strawberries and raspberries are very high in
vitamin C and fiber, as well as antioxidants, and both are associated with
low blood pressure and cardiovascular health. A delicious way of combining
these two fruits is to make a mixed berry sauce. Just puree 1C each of
raspberries and strawberries and mix in 1/4C sugar; this sauce is perfect
for pouring over pancakes, French toast, or ice cream.
For a list of what's in season at the farmers market, as well as
recipes and nutritional information on everything you'll find there, take
a look at htt
p://www.friends4oldlafarmersmarket.org. And while you're at the
market, enjoy fresh roasted corn and potatoes, tamales and honey pineapple
chicken, as well as delicious breads and pastries from Ann's Bakery.
Please stop by the market for fresh, field- ripened, high quality
produce from local farmers and spend time with your friends, neighbors and
other community members.
The Highland Park Certified Farmers Market is located adjacent to the
Highland Park Gold Line station at Marmion Way between Ave. 57 & 58
and operates Tuesdays from 3-7PM.

CatDogRadio in
Eagle Rock |
|
Eagle Rock Company Garners its 3rd Award Radio station has America
wagging its tail
Los Angeles, CA -- DogCatRadio.com, the national radio station that
broadcasts from the tiny community of Eagle Rock, CA, has now been
presented with its third achievement award in less than 12 months -- the
most recent by the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors.
"The board of supervisors hereby commends Adrian Martinez for his
outstanding community service,” said Gloria Molina, County Supervisor.
Martinez, says he was inspired to launch the first radio station for
pets and their humans after seeing how much his pets enjoyed soothing
music.
"Who doesn't enjoy relaxing at home listening to music with their pet
at their side?" says Martinez, founder of DogCatRadio.com.
DogCatRadio.co
m first burst on to the pet industry November of 2005 after a media
explosion that saw stories in the NY Times, Chicago Tribune, Houston
Chronicle, L.A. Daily News, San Francisco Chronicle and the morning news
shows including, the Today Show, Good Morning America and CBS' Early Show.
Thanks to all the media coverage, the station has over 6.2 million
listeners each week according to a report by the Denver Post and it ranks
#5 on Google's page rankings.
Martinez was honored by the city of Los Angeles with a Proclamation
this past summer and PETA awarded him with their "Wave of the Future"
award.
"No one believed it till they saw us on TV," says Jane Harris, Manager
of Operations. "However, we're not out to get attention."

Rudolph M. Schindler: Architect, Builder, Theorist, Utopian
Kimberli Meyer discusses the life and legacy of the SoCal-based
architect on Feb. 20, 2007.
It's no wonder that Viennese-born Rudolph Schindler is still considered
today as the architect's architect - after all, he designed more than 400
projects -- 150 built during his career -- studied with some of the great
architects of the time (such as Frank Lloyd Wright) and forever changed
the perception of modernism the world over.
The life and legacy of Schindler - whose numerous designed homes dot
the Southern California landscape - will be the subject of an upcoming
public lecture by Kimberli Meyer, Director of the MAK Center for Art and
Architecture at the Schindler House in West Hollywood.
"Rudolph M. Schindler: Architect, Builder, Theorist, Utopian " is
sponsored by The Friends of the Gamble House Annual Sidney D. Gamble
Lecture series and takes place 7:30 p.m. on February 20 at the
Neighborhood Church, 2 Westmoreland Place, Pasadena. Afterward, the Gamble
House will offer a light reception.
A tour of Schindler's Rodrieguez House (1940-42) in Glendale follows on
Feb. 24.
Lecture tickets are $25 general public, $20 for Friends of the Gamble
House members, $15 students. Tour tickets are $25 general public and $20
FOGH members and $5 students. For more information and to order tickets,

Dear Michael,
I wanted to let you know I did sent the letter below to Mona. I haven't
heard back from her as yet but, if anyone would like to join me on the
project please contact me and leave a message on my phone or e-mail me. I
also contacted Teresa Medina (AT&T) last week and received a phone
call back that my location(Ellenwood Place/DR.) was not on the list and
saw nothing in the future....and so the saga continues.....as does the
totally frustration!!
Teresa Medina, Local Initiatives-Diversity Manager, Los Angeles Market
Area, Office 626-576-3401
I greatly appreciate all your input and the reader’s letters. You have
helped many on this site and I always look forward to "what's going on in
your letters.
With much thanks, Tere Cruz
Dear Mona,
I wanted to let you know that I have been VERY FRUSTRATED with the
AT&T DSL situation . It's not right especially with the high cost of
phone service and the merging of all the phone lines. With my home and
self employed business I pay over $300 a month to AT&T with dial up
service.
In your letter to TERA you stated " plan to write to our State Senator
Jack Scott, incoming Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, and to the Calif
Public Utilities Commission (one member is Michael Peevey, husband to our
outgoing Assembly member Carol Liu)." I would like to help you with this .
I know you went through the cable company finally but I can't since I have
the DISH so PLEASE PLEASE contact me so hopefully we can get this done. If
I have to bang on doors and stand on street corners I refuse to bow to
this mediocre service!
Thank You, Tere Cruz
