1.  PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE — OUR GARDEN OF SUPPORT IS GROWING!

As I mentioned in our last issue, TERA has submitted a Neighborhood Matching Grant application in support of TERA Board member Mary Tokita's vision for a community garden.  Thank you to Kathleen Long, who worked tirelessly with Mary to prepare the application.
 
Most especially, thank you to the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council, the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock, and the many others who wrote letters in support of this grant proposal.  Every letter helps!  Please consider sending a letter of support if you have not done so already.  Here’s the information about the garden project:
 
Los Angeles has over 80 community gardens in operation.  These gardens greatly enhance the quality of life in their neighborhoods, providing fresh, organic produce, much-needed urban greenspace, and a chance for Angelenos to connect with nature and each other.  We have yet to have our own garden here in Eagle Rock.

TERA believes that Eagle Rock deserves a community garden for its residents. Fresh food and green space is something everyone in town can appreciate and support. Three years ago, I became a Master Gardener and joined the board of the LA Community Garden Council to realize this vision for Eagle Rock.

For those not familiar with the concept, a community garden is designed to empower people and build positive change in neighborhoods. They can have innumerable benefits, that begin with offering individual families, schools, and local organizations the opportunity to grow their own organic vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruits.

We have identified a huge tract of land off Figueroa and Yosemite with enough space to install 40 8x10 individual garden plots for local families. The tract has plenty of additional space that could be used in a number of productive ways.  For instance, we hope to grow additional crops for local restaurants and the community through our Farmers' Market.  In addition, the land would be developed as an art park and meeting space.  We would also install a nursery for beautification projects across Northeast Los Angeles.

If you believe in this vision, please send an email in support of this project today!  We need your voice now if we hope to receive the funding.  If you can volunteer your time or money as well, that would be most welcome and needed.  Please direct your email to: mtokita@earthlink.net.

If anyone would like more detailed information, Mary would be happy to send you a copy of her original vision statement and budget projections for this project.  Just email your request to mtokita@earthlink.net.

Thanks again for your support of this tremendous project for Eagle Rock!
 
-- Hilary Norton Orozco, TERA President, and Mary Tokita, TERA Board Member



2.  TERA'S ECLECTIC EAGLE ROCK HOME TOUR NEEDS YOU!

Get involved in one of Eagle Rock's greatest annual events!

 We have a great group this year, as always, but we need more people to join our Eclectic Eagle Rock Home Tour committee.  We plan this year to have each committee member have only one job so that no one becomes overwhelmed, as has sometimes happened in the past.  We already have folks who will handle most of the work, like home selection and preparation, public relations, brochure advertising, design and compiling of the brochure, design of posters and flyers, finance matters, docent coordination, post-tour party planning, "day of" logistics coordination, and signage needs.

 We also already have eight homes as candidates for consideration, and we are getting more all the time.  For this year's tour, we have chosen the College View/Ridgeview Avenue area south of Colorado Boulevard.  Our tour will take place on Sunday, October 24, 2004.  We're all very excited!

 Specifically, we need:


Please remember that you will not be asked to do anything other than one specific job (unless you want to do more), making it easier and more fun for everyone.  Also, you may work with a partner to handle any of the above duties.  Our Home Tour committee is open to all TERA members interested in furthering TERA's goals and making Eagle Rock an even better place to live.

On a personal note, I have worked on this committee since our very first Home Tour in 2000, and it's always been a lot of fun and very gratifying.  You meet terrific, dedicated people, and you have a free pass to the tour and the always fabulous post-tour party.  And, the tour does GREAT things for our town!  Just look at the wonderful changes to our commercial district we have all enjoyed during these past few years.  I'm very proud of the many things TERA has accomplished since its inception in 1986.

Our next Home Tour meeting will take place Monday, April 12.  

Details will be sent out in our e.letter.  Help us make this Home Tour the best one yet!  Please contact me if you are interested in helping with any of the above jobs.  Thanks so much!

-- Joanne Turner, TERA President Emeritus

11.  "GROWING WITH GHOSTS" AN EAGLE ROCK ART AND PERFORMANCE EXTRAVAGANZA  -- APRIL 2 - 25

The Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock sends us word of an upcoming art, music and theater performance show that sounds like the not-to-be-missed event of the season.  Here’s the scoop:

Playwright Ken Roht's Newest Work,

"GROWING WITH GHOSTS"
APRIL 2, 2004 – APRIL 25, 2004
Friday through Sunday, at  7:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
The Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock
2225 Colorado Boulevard


The Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock is honored to sponsor Ken Roht’s theater-dance-arts extravaganza, "Growing With Ghosts."   In June 2003, Mr. Roht began to work on this site-specific work, a progressive music theater piece that uses every inch of the Center and its grounds.  The actual stage will be the Center itself, a restored 1915 Carnegie library, and a National Historic Landmark.  Mr. Roht's piece takes place in seven different theatrical installations.  As the audience walks through each, they will witness stages of human growth, from before birth to after death.  

What makes Ken Roht’s work unique?  The answer is simple: his work is both cutting-edge and stunningly beautiful.  Theatrical productions are rarely innovative, entertaining, and broadly accessible at the same time.  This combination is compelling and distinctive.  Mr. Roht has a singular vision and only now is beginning to get recognition for years of dedication to his work.  On December 21st, 2003, the Los Angeles Times described Mr. Roht as “an anarchistic visionary whose time is now.”

"Growing With Ghosts" is a walk-through show, lasting fifty-minutes. The audience for each performance will be limited to 100 people.  In this way, the experience will be more personal to each audience member. The piece will be presented for one month, from April 2 - 25, Friday through Sunday, at  7:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.

For additional information regarding Mr. Roht and his company, Orphean Circus, please check their website, http://www.orpheancircus.com.  For more information on the Center for the Arts, go to http://www.centerartseaglerock.org.  



12.  JANE GOODALL AT OXY — APRIL 6

Jane Goodall Speaks at Oxy

Noon, Tuesday, April 6
Thorne Hall
Occidental College
Eagle Rock


Dr. Jane Goodall, Dame of the British Empire, and one of the world's leading experts on chimpanzee behavior, will speak about her life and career on Tuesday, April 6 at Occidental College's Thorne Hall.  The lecture is free and open to the public, but tickets must be reserved by logging on to http://departments.oxy.edu/studentlife/Speaker_Series/Jane_Goodall.HTML, or by calling (323) 259-2918.  Online reservations will be given priority, with preference being given to Occidental students, faculty, staff and alumni.  Tickets are being limited to one per person.  Three satellite locations will broadcast a live audio/video feed of Ms. Goodall's presentation.

For more than 40 years, Goodall has been the standard-bearer for chimpanzee research.  Since the summer of 1960, when she first traveled to Gombe, Tanzania, in eastern Africa, she has challenged numerous assumptions about the animals.  Notably, Goodall observed chimps hunting and eating bushpigs and other animals, disproving theories that they are primarily vegetarians.  She also witnessed two chimps -- David Graybeard and Goliath -- strip leaves from twigs to fashion tools for fishing termites from a nest.  Scientists had long thought humans were the only species to make tools.

Goodall defied scientific convention by giving the Gombe chimps names instead of numbers, and insisted that the animals had distinct personalities and emotions. She wrote of lasting chimpanzee family relationships and brutal "warfare" among the species, including a four-year war that started in 1974, the first record of long-term hostilities in nonhuman primates.  In 1977, Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation to provide ongoing support for field research on wild chimpanzees.  The institute is a leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats, and is widely recognized for establishing community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa and for sponsoring outreach programs in more than 70 countries.

The recipient of numerous honorary doctorates and distinctions, in 2003, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II named Goodall a Dame of the British Empire -- the equivalent of a knighthood.  Among Goodall's many publications, her 1986 book, The Chimpanzees of Gombe: Patterns of Behavior, is recognized as the definitive work on chimpanzee behavior and is the culmination of Goodall's scientific career.

Her appearance at Occidental is sponsored by the college's Office of Student Life, in conjunction with Founder's Day celebrations.

Occidental College is located at 1600 Campus Road in Eagle Rock. For a campus map and directions, please visit http://www.oxy.edu/welcome/.



13.  WE'VE GOT MAIL

More mail on topic of freeway noise this week, including this letter from a resident whose close proximity to the 134 puts her squarely in favor of sound barriers between Eagle Rock and the highway:

"I live on the corner of Hill Drive and Mt. Helena facing the freeway, and the noise is so bad that when we have company in the warm weather, we do not leave the windows open, (and we do not have, nor do we want, air conditioning).  [Those who argue against the need for sound barriers] have not asked anyone that lives below the freeway in that particular area what they are experiencing.  Yes, the wall would not be beautiful from a distance.  But it would greatly enhance the quality of life in and around the homes in this area.  I would be able to leave the windows open and enjoy the spring and fall breezes.  If anyone bothers to visit this area on a busy day, they, too, could enjoy the thunderous sound of the eighteen wheelers as they hit the seam of the eastbound 134 and the Figueroa Street bridge; they could hear for themselves the sound of the trucks changing gears on the west bound 134 incline, and they could see firsthand the emergency flashing lights that wake us up at night when there is an accident.  From my perspective, a sound barrier would be wonderful, and a careful planting program would eventually hide the wall from the view of residents fortunate enough to live far enough from the freeway not to [be bothered by] the noise.”

-- Martha Moren, Eagle Rock resident and TERA member


In a related matter, we got the following note from former 14th district councilmember Art Snyder, who expands on one correspondent’s observation last week that action on the Eagle Rock sound walls issue seems to have fallen into some sort of legislative limbo:

One of the most unfortunate of facts of life in regard to governmental representation is that partisan officeholders are generally motivated by partisan issues, while the local problems that interest residents most are set aside in their minds and priorities.  This is the reason that we in Eagle Rock have had so little impact for the last 40 years as we have pleaded for more attention to Eagle Rock freeway landscaping and sound walls.  You don't win party primaries on these issues, and you don't win in November on them.  I, for one, feel it a mistake that, after many years of nonpartisan state government, the people of California voted to amend the State Constitution to make State offices partisan.

“In this coming election, perhaps TERA and the people of Eagle Rock should devote themselves to obtaining pledges from our State representatives for attention to the Eagle Rock community that’s at the very least equal to that which they give Glendale and Pasadena.”

-- Art Snyder, Eagle Rock

The news that Eagle Rock’s Gallery Ophelia would be shutting its doors last weekend (Gallery Ophelia’s Swan Song,” February 26, 2004 e.letter,) inspired one longtime Eagle Rock resident to post the following lament:

Shame on us, shame on Eagle Rock! 

“It seems to me that Eagle Rock’s ‘squeaky wheels’ want cool, trendy businesses here: no conglomerates or chains.  But, do these ‘squeakers’ support the community?  First we lose the Townsend Gallery, and now Gallery Ophelia.  Who's next? 

“Come on people!  Get out and support our community.  Spend your money in Eagle Rock. Find out about all the different organizations here. Become a member of the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock -- it's cheap and they do so much for the community.  Let's keep the momentum of Eagle Rock going. 
 
-- Christine Marie Meisenhelder, 16 year Eagle Rock resident

Thanks for sharing your perspective, Christine.   Your suggestion that local boosters consider joining the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock couldn’t come at a better time.  Our town’s premiere arts and cultural institution is in the midst of their biggest fundraiser of the year. Item #6 describes the Center’s upcoming Route 66 art auction, and you’ll find lots more info about the Center at their website, http://www.centerartseaglerock.org.
