  • I've been TERA president for one day and boy this job will be easier than I thought if all the days go like my first. Oh how great it is to dream!

    First, I'd like to thank Michael Tharp for the two wonderful years he gave to Eagle Rock as president of TERA. His kindness, amazing knowledge of the community, sense of humor, and big heart have made a tremendous difference to our town. Thanks Michael, you are a great inspiration to us all.

    Although I've met many of you, I still have a great many more of you to meet, so I'll just share a few things about me. I've lived in Eagle Rock seven years but as a child I used to ride my bike from Pasadena to the Eagle Rock Mall, to lunch at Cindy's and to bowl at the All Star Lanes. Those childhood friends are still my friends today. I've never lived further than a ten mile radius from my first home in this country. Why stay so close? Because I've traveled the whole world, including places most people couldn't find on a map, and when all the work or fun is over I always cherish my return home. Home to my friends and family, to my favorite places, to my community.

    I work with the California Society of Certified Public Accountants, the country's largest CPA society with over 31,000 members. Some weeks are 70 hours long, weekly plane trips are the norm, daily e-mails are counted in the hundreds, and I am forever attached to my PDA. I'm a perfectionist and a stickler for integrity, honesty, hard work and fair process. I'm an avid gardener and just as happy in the dirt as I am at a spa. There is only one kind of wine I like and that's the kind without an h. One of my goals in life is to average 65 mph and I exceed the average number of cars per household with 3. I serve on various boards, councils, and committees. I believe in the social rewards of a great cocktail party. I have one child - the four-legged kind - Oso, my 120 pound Mastiff who thinks his mission is to protect me from everything and everyone, and yes I'm smaller than he but I am the alpha dog. You can count on one part of the e-letter not changing, since he is my teacher of tolerance, patience, and adventure.

    You may wonder why oh why if I knew that my other 364 days as TERA president may not all go as smoothly as my first, would I willingly and of sane mind agree to serve as president. I agreed for more reasons than I can write here, but primarily: to continue the great work of the many leaders that have come before me; to honor the work of fellow board members Frank Parrello (vice president), Pauline Mauro (treasurer), Liz Wagner (secretary) and board members Keith Louie, Renate Kofahl, Rich Puz, Mary Tokita, and Michael Zamarripa; to ensure that TERA continues for another 20 years; because this is a great community and I want to be a part of shaping it's future; to promote volunteerism and show that busy professionals can be involved in their community with a little multi-tasking and prioritizing; and because of you, our TERA members who make this community great. Not a member yet? I can assure you, I will ask you to join.

    I look forward to meeting you and working with you.

    Preservation, Planning and Development News

    TERA's Preservation, Planning and Development Sub-committee meets on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. in the basement of the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock.

    Frank Parrello, TERA's Vice President and Chair of the PP&D Committee reports:

    At its meeting on Thursday, July 19, 2007, the City of Los Angeles, Cultural Heritage Commission passed a motion recommending that the City of Los Angeles designate the McNary House at 4777 Eagle Rock Boulevard as a Historic-Cultural Monument. The Commission further moved that the two Pacific Cut Bungalow Houses on the abutting lot that were also built for the McNary family not be designated. We would have liked to see all the structures associated with the McNary's designated, but having the main house designated is still a very positive outcome for the Eagle Rock Valley Historic Society and TERA. The owner of the property was present at the hearing and while it appeared that she would have preferred that none of the structures be designated it did not appear that she will protest the designation of the main house.

    On a related note, at the Thursday meeting, the Commission also recommended that the Waite House owned by Ori Schurr at 2341 Hill Drive be designate as a Historic-Cultural Monument. The Schurr family supported the nomination, which they had prepared by Charles Fisher who was our consultant on the McNary House.

    ER Neighborhood Council News

    There are currently six vacant positions on the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council Board. To ensure that the board has a quorum to conduct business, and to also generate interest among stakeholders to consider running in future elections, the board approved a motion to amend the by-laws as follows:

    "Vacant Board Seats

    If all Board seats are not filled after the general election, or if a Board seat becomes vacant due to resignations or recall, the vacant Board seat may be filled by the ERNC Board of Directors' appointment of a stakeholder on an interim basis. The Board seat shall be filled by election at the next ERNC general election."

    The six positions open consist of Civic Director (1 of 2 positions), and Sub-District Directors for areas 1,2,3 and 4. The treasurer position is also vacant but will be filled on an interim basis by a current board member.

    If you are interested in an interim position on the board, please attend our next meeting on Tuesday, August 7, and let us know.

    Because half the positions are filled by election every other year, the position of Sub-District 2 and the Treasurer will be open in the spring 2008 elections. These positions will be for the full term of two years.

    The other vacant positions will be for only a one- year replacement term, and in 2009 will be open again for full-term elections

    If you decide to give it a shot and it turns out not to be what you wanted there are no obligations to stay. But if you do volunteer your time, on behalf of the entire Board, we thank you very much.

    Sincerely,

    Vince Antonino

    Sub-District 8 Director

    Communications Officer

    CentrePoint Entertainment will present The Yowling & Other Sounds from Highland Park, a tantalizing tale written and performed by nationally published performance artist and two-time City of L.A. Artist-in-Residence Lisa Marie Sandoval on Thursday, August 16 at 8 p.m. at The Whitefire Theatre, located at 13500 Ventura Blvd., one block east of Woodman in Studio City.

    Directed by Wendi Berman, The Yowling & Other Sounds from Highland Park features an uptown girl from private college, who trying to find herself and having no place to go lands in the neighborhood of her nightmares, an impoverished Latino barrio in Northeast L.A. Slowly sucked into a foreign world, she crashes into herself, God, and the guttural cry of her soul and does the unthinkable - she marries one of "them." Performing for crowds of up to 1000, Lisa Marie's exotic blend of dance, drama, poetic storytelling will sweep you into a story of love, angst, fear, hope, and bring you face to face with your own yowling and what you really search for.

    Sandoval vividly brings story to life and connects the cries of human souls with a one-of-a-kind performance that is, says the editor of the SGVP Quarterly, "image rich - to achieve perfect communication with her audience," who are "invariably left deeply moved to action." Lisa Marie is "talented and cutting edge," says Jenny Krusoe, exec. dir. for Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock. Even Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa proclaims, "Her powerful performances - truthful and heartfelt and I look forward to many more performances in the years to come. We are truly blessed to have an artist like Lisa Marie Sandoval residing in Northeast Los Angeles."

    Sandoval has appeared on television and nationally at Art & Soul 2005 and Austin's Red Salmon Arts series, both in Texas. Local performance venues include Beyond Baroque, Sylvan Amphitheater, University of La Verne's "Voices in Action" series, Barnes & Noble, USC Tyler Pavilion, Rock Rose among others as well as commissioned performances for city and community organizations. Several pieces of The Yowling have been published in The Southern California Anthology, The Christian Century, Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review, plus others. Currently, Sandoval tours her one-woman show and works to produce and regularly perform in the What's the Story? monthly Monday evenings in Santa Monica. She holds a master's degree from the Professional Writing program at USC and a bachelor's degree from Occidental College.

    General admission is $20/$15 students or seniors. Tickets are available from www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information, please contact producer Fiona Smyth at 818.321.6804 or see www.theyowling.co m.

    Six Blocks of History: WESTERN Heights HPOZ Home Tour

    Come join us for Six Blocks of History, the Western Heights Neighborhood Association (WHNA) and Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) Homes Tour, on Sunday, September 9, 2007, from 11 am to 4 pm. Stroll through the "streetcar suburb" where up-and-coming young professional families built their homes in the early part of this century. Eight historically significant homes will be open for tour.

    Located just north of the Santa Monica Freeway between Western and Arlington, Western Heights is an architecturally diverse enclave filled with custom built homes from the turn of the century. Originally developed outside the city limits, this six-block area was a forerunner to the modern suburb, far from the dusty and noisy center of town. The residential streets are characterized by two and three story single family residences in many architectural styles including Craftsman, Tudor Revival, Queen Anne, Spanish Colonial Revival, Monterey Revival and American Four- square. Many were designed by some of the most prominent architects of Los Angeles, including John C. Austin, Myron Hunt, Sumner Hunt, Frank M. Tyler, Elmer Grey, Arthur R. Kelley and Paul Williams. Much of the community's architectural legacy remains intact in spite of the construction of the Santa Monica Freeway in 1960. The Western Heights HPOZ, created in 2001, contains 150 structures dating from the late 19th century to the 1930's.

    Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 the day of the tour. Final tickets will be sold at 3:30 pm. Tickets for the self-guided tour are available through WHNA, PO Box 191400, Los Angeles, CA 90019 or by emailing westernheightstour@mac.com. Proceeds from this event will benefit construction of traffic easements in the neighborhood. Visit our historic neighborhood at www.We sternHeightsHPOZ.com.
