  • The votes have been counted (too bad that there were so few votes to count) and congratulations to Los Angeles City Councilmember Jose Huizar, Los Angeles School District Board Member Yolie Flores Aguilar, and Community College District Trustee Mona Field on their election. In addition to congratulating those elected, we should also thank the candidates who ran, but were not elected. We should all appreciate the courage it takes to hold oneself out to the community and stand for election, whether it is a neighborhood council office, a City wide office or a state or national office.

    And now we have Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council elections on Saturday, March 31st. Details of the location of the polling place for those elections are found below, and hopefully information on the candidates will be available for publication soon.

    Congratulations to Maria Nazario and Scott Bogue for getting the TERA News Letter out in a timely fashion and many thanks to Georgina Reyes for her fine work in designing and putting the news letter together. If you are a TERA member one should be showing up in your mail box soon. I just picked one up at The Coffee Table and they will be available throughout Eagle Rock.

    In an on-going effort to help control the litter problem in Eagle Rock, TERA continues to pursue purchasing more trash cans placed along the Boulevards but we’ve learned that the big problem is not getting the trash cans in place. The real issue is making sure the cans are emptied in a timely fashion so that over-flowing cans do not become more of a blighting influence than the litter they seek to contain. It seems that the City Bureau of Sanitation only collects trash from single family residents (in most cases). But we’re working with Garth Weir in the Council Office, as well as others who have had prior “trash can” experience, such as Cheryl Leutjen of Blissful Soul fame, former Subdistrict 6 Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council Director, and Jessica Wethington McLean, ERNC Subdistrict 2 Director and now CD14 Director of Planning for Jose Huizar. A little thinking outside the box, or in this case can, should enable us to move ahead on this by early summer (slow incremental steps, but always forward in direction). Stay tuned!

    ER Neighborhood Council Elections

    EAGLE ROCK THE VOTE!

    Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council Elections will be held Sat. March 31

    The deadline to file as a candidate was Monday Feb. 26! Elections for the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council will be held Saturday, March 31 from 10:00am - 4:00pm at Eagle Rock City Hall.

    On March 31st, Eagle Rock will elect new board members to the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council (ERNC), the official city government body that represents Eagle Rock to the City of Los Angeles and the Mayor.

    Eagle Rock Land Use Issues

    At the time of this writing, TERA has not considered this matter. In most cases the matter would come before the TERA Preservation, Planning and Development Committee, which would review the proposed project and then make a recommendation to the TERA Board. Unfortunately the Board and the Committee meet only once a month and the timing of the notice makes this process impossible. It was recently announced in the Los Angeles Times that the Planning Department would begin sending copies of the applications for entitlements to the Neighborhood Councils at the time of filing, which is usually at least 3 months or longer before the date of a hearing. This is something the Neighborhood Councils and TERA have been seeking for years. If it were in place now, there would be an opportunity for timely review and input into this request. But in the instant case, it does not appear that TERA or the ERNC will have an opportunity to have timely input prior to the hearing. I want to be clear that TERA is not opposing the request. There is simply not the time to have input in the normal course of meetings under the current process. I would think that our neighbor, the Eagle Rock Mall, would notify TERA and the ERNC as a matter of courtesy, but at this time, there is no legal obligation to do so. Hopefully receiving early notice at the time of filing will remedy this problem. The City notice provides the following information:

    Metro Café/Bakery has applied for a Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.24-W.1 of the Los Angeles municipal Code, to permit the sale and dispensing of beer and wine for on-site consumption at a new, 1,681 square foot café and bakery with seating for 22 patrons, and with operating hours of 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily.

    A public hearing will be held on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 at 10:30 a.m. or thereafter at Los Angeles City Hall, 200 North Spring Street, Room 1020 (enter from Main Street), Los Angeles, CA 90012.

    The Café will be located in the Eagle Rock Mall, located at 2700 Colorado Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90041. The property is zoned [Q]C4-2D.

    Case No. ZA-2007-0415(CUB) containing the application, maps and exhibits with the request is available in the Office of Zoning Administration, 7th Floor, 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 between the hours of 7:15 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please call (213)978-1318 in advance to assure that the file will be available. The file will not be available the day of the hearing.

    Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65009(b)(2), any court challenge to the Zoning Administrator’s action on this matter may be limited to only those issues raised prior to the close of the public hearing.

    Center for the Arts, ER Presents "Developed Eye"

    The Board of Directors and Staff of Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock cordially invite you to attend the exhibition “Developed Eye”. It opens to the public on the March 24th, 2007; the opening reception is from 7:00pm to 9:00pm, and will be closed on the May 5th, 2007.

    Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock is a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 organization whose mission is to provide multicultural and innovative arts programming to the communities of Northeast Los Angeles. Programs include art exhibitions, public arts projects, free community festivals such as the Eagle Rock Music Festival, after school classes, a Summer Arts Camp, and more.

    Three artists, David E. James, Hegle Gerull, and Jeffrey Neale, will show work in the exhibition “Developed Eye” curated by Mika Cho. This exhibition of photography presents works that speaks about the disparity between observation and the observed, and that questions the relationships between internal, physical, emotional and spiritual experience.

    David E. James was born in England, and has lived in Los Angeles since 1971. In the 1970s he was active in the Los Angeles poetry scene, but since then he has been mainly teaching and writing about cinema history, especially the history of the Los Angeles avant-garde. He presents two works: “Filmforum: A Geo-History,” a documentation of the present condition of the main sites occupied by the most important screening organization devoted to non-commercial cinema in Los Angeles, and “Hanoi,” a sequence of street scenes in the Vietnamese capital.

    Helge Gerull was born in Germany, has lived and worked as a cinematographer in Los Angeles for over 20 years. He first worked in still photography in Detroit, Michigan, then spent time in production design for directors including Mark Romanek, Paula Walker, and Michael Bay. Primarily a commercial cinematographer, he has photographed several short films, which have screened at Sundance, Slamdance, Toronto, and other film festivals. His collection of images is selected from his own commercial works and film stills. Gerull enhances the beauty of his subjects through the manipulation of photographic processes and treatments.

    Jeffrey Neale, originally from New York, now lives and works in Los Angeles. Neale’s work addresses the relationship between image, language, and the construction of meaning. He investigates potential levels of interior-ness. He substitutes photographic processes that traditionally focus on the external with x-ray technology accompanied by selections of text. Whether as artists, cinematographers, or critics in the field of photography and photo-related fields (film, commercial, and video), their expertise has been successfully realized in their work in this medium. Curator Mika Cho is a professor of Art at California State University, Los Angeles.

    The Center is located at 2225 Colorado Blvd. in the Los Angeles community of Eagle Rock, close to the intersection of Eagle Rock and Colorado Boulevards. For more information on the Center for the Arts, and its creative community programs, visit: www.center artseaglerock.org.

    Pasadena Heritage Home Tour

    Pasadena Heritage presents its 30th Anniversary Spring Home Tour – Pasadena’s Golden Age on Sunday, March 25th, 2007

    Pasadena, CA – Pasadena Heritage, one of California’s oldest non-profit historic preservation organizations, presents its 30th Anniversary Spring Home Tour, Pasadena’s Golden Age on March 25th, 2007 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The tour will highlight the grand and fanciful Period Revival architecture that emerged in the 1920s, when Pasadena was among the most wealthy of cities in the nation. During these years the city was home to a phenomenal number of talented and trend-setting architects who synthesized European inspirations with a romantic vision of Spanish California to create eclectic, lavish homes for prosperous Pasadenans. We invite you to join Pasadena Heritage to explore and celebrate the many variations of Period Revival architecture, from Mediterranean Revival to Classical Revival. This drive- yourself event will feature docent-guided tours of seven privately-owned homes that are outstanding examples of the designs of prominent Pasadenan architects, including Myron Hunt, Roland E. Coate, and the firm of Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury.

    We are proud to feature on this year’s tour the E. Lawrence Brown House, a beautiful Spanish Colonial Revival residence, which was designed in 1928 by the well-known local architect Harold J. Bissner. The home features an abundance of original tile work, wrought iron light fixtures and abstract Moorish motifs in the wood detailing. In the Oak Knoll neighborhood, tour-goers will have the opportunity to visit the Harlow E. Bundy Mansion, a dramatic Classical Revival home with a stunning domed art glass window in the grand entrance, silk fabric paneling on the walls, and gilded carvings by a Hungarian church painter. Around the corner, the Amelia Seibert House will be open. Designed by prolific architect Myron Hunt, this grand, three story residence is a fine example of the Tudor Revival style in Pasadena, and features an exterior of half timbering and herringbone patterned brick, and a lavish interior with oak paneling on the walls and fireplaces of marble, mahogany, oak and Batchelder tile.

    Venturing into San Marino, two residences will be open for the Spring Home Tour. The H. Palmer Sabin House, a beautiful Spanish Colonial Revival residence designed by the architect for himself and his wife, offers a wonderful glimpse into the architect’s design aesthetic, which contemporaries viewed as a dignified use of simple forms beautifully integrated with the Southern Californian landscape. Tour-goers will have the rare opportunity to visit the Edward W. Goodman House, a magnificent Tudor Revival residence designed in 1929 by John D. Atchison. The home features a dramatic two-story living room with carved gargoyles on exposed wooden beams and stunning leaded glass windows.

    Two homes in the historic Prospect Park neighborhood will also be featured as part of Pasadena’s Golden Age. The Frank Bacon House, a Monterey Revival-style home designed in 1928 by Roland E. Coate, will be open for viewing. The house is beautifully sited to allow for views of the garden and to promote indoor-outdoor living on the multiple terraces. On Prospect Square, visitors will be able to visit the Hamilton House, a Colonial Revival “Adams” style home designed by Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury. One of the home’s most unique features is a roof line balustrade known as “widow’s walk.”

    Guests will drive themselves to the featured houses where docent-guided tours will be ongoing between 9:00 am – 4:00 pm, rain or shine. We suggest 5 hours to complete the tour. Tickets will go on sale on February 14. Advance ticket prices are $30 for members of Pasadena Heritage and $35 for the general public. Tickets on the day of the tour are $40. To order tickets or event information, call (626) 441-6333 or visit pasadenaher itage.org.

    Renowned architect and author Stefanos Polyzoides will set the stage for Pasadena’s Golden Age with a LECTURE examining Mediterranean Revival architecture on Wednesday, March 21st at 7:00 pm.; location to be announced. Tickets are $10.

    Night O'Green @ Center for the Arts, ER

    The LA Community Garden Council is hosting Night O’Green: “Be Green. Give Green. Grow Green.” an inaugural public fundraiser on Saturday, March 17 at the National Historic Landmark at the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock (located at 2225 Colorado Blvd., LA , CA 90041) from 7:00-9:00 p.m. (Free parking will be available at the Bank of America, just west of the location.)

    Several LA City Council Members will attend that evening, including Honorary Chair Jan Perry, Tom LaBonge, Ed Reyes, and Jose Huizar. We'll also be honoring our organization's President, Al Renner, director of the Solano Canyon Garden (just past Dodger Stadium off the 110). To date, the Council has enjoyed support from many city agencies and small, passionate businesses such as windowbox.com, but we want to do more and need more funds to meet our goals.

    Whole Foods Market will be supplying light appetizers, a custom cocktail will be invented for our event by the chefs at the Border Grill, and music will be provided by renowned House Music DJ Terence Toy, who is also a skilled organic gardener at the Hollywood Schoolhouse. We’ll also have a silent auction, a raffle of tremendous prizes, and gardeners from across Los Angeles and the Inland Empire.

    All attendees are requested to wear green and/or "organic" attire (the latter is a reference to gardening garb, such as boots or a hat).

    Tickets are a minimum donation of $10.00 ($25.00 is recommended) and will be available at the door. If you want to pay in advance and avoid the crowd at the door, contact me.

    Proceeds from Night O'Green will allow the LACGC to continue its mission: create new gardens in urban areas, reclaim open land to grow food, and work with more than 60 existing gardens in our region. (Among our recent accomplishments is the fostering of new garden communities for the more than 100 families displaced by the closure of the garden at 41st and Alameda . To learn more about the Council, visit our website at http://www.laga rdencouncil.org/)

    If you'd like to volunteer, please contact me at mareaucontraire@yahoo.com

    We thank you in advance and look forward to seeing you at the Night O'Green!

    Sincerely,

    Mary (Boyle) Tokita, Board Member, LA Community Garden Council

    Friends of the Gamble House Lecture

    Cliff May lecture part of next Friends of the Gamble House lecture series, California in a Container: Cliff May and the Modern Ranch House.

    Author and Sunset Magazine Editor Daniel Gregory discusses the life and legacy of the pioneering designer on March 23.

    With a legacy of more than 18,000 homes under his belt, architect Cliff May has rightfully earned the title of the father of the suburban ranch house. Combining modern and traditional styles, May designed homes throughout the 1930s-80s that reflected the casual elegance that would become synonymous with the California Dream.

    An insight into May as an architectural pioneer will be the topic of discussion at a public lecture by Daniel Gregory, senior editor at Sunset Magazine and author of an upcoming book on the prolific designer.

    "California in a Container: Cliff May and the Modern Ranch House" is sponsored by The Friends of the Gamble House annual Sidney D. Gamble Lecture series and takes place 7:30 p.m. on Friday March 23 at the Neighborhood Church, 2 Westmoreland Place, Pasadena.

    In addition, a rare tour of selected Riviera Ranch and Sullivan Canyon homes in Brentwood will be offered Saturday March 24.

    Ticket prices for the lecture are $25 for the general public, $20 for Friends of the Gamble House (FOGH) members and $15 for students. Tickets for the home tour are $75 general public and $50 for FOGH members and students.

    The final lecture in this year's series will be Heather Lenkin on landscape architecture, April 28, 2007

    For more information and to order tickets, call (626) 793-3334, ext. 52 or visit www.gamblehouse.org. FOGH memberships start at $40 for individuals.

    Arroyo Arts Collective

    To honor Women’s History Month, The Arroyo Arts Collective presents “Never Done: Exhibiting The Work of Women’s Collectives.”

    Opening reception Saturday, March 10 from 7 to 10 p.m.

    The Acorn Gallery is pleased showcase the work of three historically important and different feminist groups: Mother Art, The Waitresses, and M.A.M.A., as well as the short videotape "Define" by O.F. Makarah, founder of In Visible Colors.

    Mother Art and The Waitresses were active in the 70s and 80s and grew out of the Woman’s Building’s Feminist Studio Workshop. Beginning in 1974, Mother Art initially addressed issues of art and motherhood. Over its twelve year existence, the group expanded its concerns to deal with women’s domestic work and social issues such as homelessness among women, nuclear war, and the attack on a woman’s right to choose. From 1978 through 1985, The Waitresses explored their roles as service workers and nurturers in performance pieces that took place in restaurants, parades, conferences, galleries and museums.

    In the 90s, M.A.M.A. (Mother Artists Making Art) used their identities and experiences as mothers as the basis for sculpture and installation. In Visible Colors is an organization dedicated to the creation and promotion of films and videos by African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos and Natives. This exhibit is curated by Nancy Buchanan and will include a recreation of a Mother Art installation, photo documentation, sculpture and video.

    Opening reception on Saturday, March 10 from 7 to 10 p.m. Exhibition continues until Saturday, April 7. Gallery hours: Saturdays and Sundays, noon to 4 p.m.

    Highland Park Farmers Market

    Seth Budick writes:

    Citrus, including delicious Satsuma and Paige tangerines, continues to dominate the farmers market. Do your part to battle scurvy by enjoying pomelos, grapefruits, oranges, cara-caras, blood oranges, Meyer lemons, kumquats and tangelos. Fresh herbs, apples, asian pears, cherimoyas and other winter fruits are also all available at the market, consult http: //www.friends4oldlafarmersmarket.org for a full list.

    In addition to the excellent avocados and citrus that Spencer Farms brings to the market each week, Pancho was also selling the unusual chilacayote squash this past week. Native to Central and South America, chilacayotes, also known as Malabar gourds or shark-fin melons, come somewhere between a cucumber and watermelon in flavor and have the texture of spaghetti squash as the pulp separates into its component strands when cooked. I've been experimenting with chilacayotes, which are often used in soups, candied, or made into jams, and I would love to hear from anyone with a secret family recipe. Email sbudick@caltech.edu and share your chilacoyote delicacies with the world! And while you're at the market, pick up fresh nuts, cheese and fruit preserves and enjoy fresh tamales and honey pineapple chicken for dinner.

    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.

    Letters

    Just a brief note re. quick service: I had an extremely fast response from Jose Huizar's ER office when I called re. the covering of a street light that had blown off and broken. DWP was out the next day!!! When I called 311 before for the same thing, it took a week for someone to fix.

    (When I called 311 this time, they told me to call DWP and I got the DWP's recording telling me to call back at some other time. That's why I called the ER office.)

    Nancy Shannon

    Thanks for writing, Nancy
