TIME TO COWBOY-UP AT THE SAN DIMAS RODEO
October 1st and 2nd
Howdy folks! The 22nd Annual
San Dimas PRCA Rodeo, October
1 & 2, 2016 is quickly approaching
and volunteers are working hard
to provide another great patriotic family weekend event. Gates
open at 11am and
events begin at
1pm Rodeo at 2pm
sharp.
How do we
kick off each performance of our
San Dimas Rodeo?
We begin with the
Golden Stars Skydiving Team with
a 1000 sq. foot US
Flag, John Wayne
explaining “Why
I Love Her” and
then the singing
our National Anthem.
On Saturday
we honor our current and former
military veterans. On Sunday we
start with a Challenged Buckaroo
Rodeo where special needs boys
and girls ages 3 to 12 join up with
our cowboys and cowgirls to compete in special Rodeo events. You
could see cowboys with tears in
their eyes as they help each child
through the events. For many of
us it is our favorite time of the Rodeo! Check out the smiles on those
little Buckaroos! And if all this is
not enough Sunday is also Tough
Enough to Wear Pink day where
we Pass The Boot and all contributions go to a local breast cancer
program. Did we mention the merchandise vendors of all types, a variety of beverages and fair food!
You will see Cowboys and Cowgirls who come from all over the
West to compete in seven PRCA
Rodeo events. Whether it’s Bull
Riding, Saddle Bronc, Bareback,
Tie-Down, Team Roping, Bull
Dogging or Barrel Racing they all
compete with reckless abandon.
Is Kelly back you ask, many
consider Kelly Kenny the finest
PRCA Pro Rodeo Announcer in
the business. Well he is back this
year!. His silky smooth baritone,
quick wit, down home humor and
his ability to connect with an audi-
ence has found a home forever in
Pro Rodeo and here in San Dimas.
Helping in the arena this year will
be “Punkintown” the Rodeo Clown
who will work with Kenny to keep
you all entertained at the
Rodeo. He has
a great reputation and we look
forward to his
act. Join us for a
day you will not
soon forget at

Cal Poly Pomona Pumpkin Festival to
Kick Off “Month of Pumpkins”
Pick a pumpkin. Solve the corn
maze. Ride an Arabian horse.
Tickets are now on sale for the
24th Annual Pumpkin Festival at
Cal Poly Pomona, which will celebrate California agriculture by offering families all these fun activities
and more. The festival will be held
on the weekend of Oct. 8 and 9 at the
university’s AGRIscapes Center.
The two-day event kicks off Cal
Poly Pomona’s Month of Pumpkins.
After the festival ends, the Pumpkin
Patch will continue to be open every
day from Oct. 11 until Oct. 30 for
visitors to pick their very own pumpkins.
“If you like the country fair atmosphere, the games and all the activities, come to the festival,” says Craig
Walters, the event director. “If you
don’t like large crowds and just want
to pick a pumpkin, come visit the
Pumpkin Patch afterward.”
About 70,000 pumpkins are
grown for the event by Cal Poly Pomona either at AGRIscapes or on
farmland in Chino.
Ticket Changes
The Pumpkin Festival will again
charge admission this year, which
will be $4 for adults and $3 for chil-
dren ages 2 to 12. Children under
2 are admitted free. The admission
also will cover parking.
However, the festival will not be
selling activity tickets, in response to
a number of concerns registered last
year. In addition, festival organizers
are making other changes aimed
at limiting long ticket lines, which
guests identified as a problem last
year.
“We heard what customers had
to say on social media and in a survey that we took last year,” Walters
says. “We took their comments seriously and are making the appropriate adjustments to simplify things
and reduce lines.”
Tickets are on sale at http://
pumpkinfestival.cpp.edu or at the
AGRIscapes office near the Farm
Store. Festival-goers are encouraged
to buy their tickets in advance so
they can bypass the ticket sales lines
on the day of the event. Discounts
are only available in advance.
After the festival is over, the
Pumpkin Patch is free to visit, but
free parking will be limited.
All pumpkins from the patch will
cost $5 each at the festival and afterContinued on page 13.

Good food, music and fellowship, is there any better way to
spend a summer evening? Members of the Foothill Presbyterian Hospital Auxiliary and their

dogs were provided by the hospital with an array of sides and
desserts brought by those who attended. To add to the enjoyment of

Citrus College News
It might be 100 degrees outside
but the fall semester will begin at
Citrus College Monday! Some 200
students participated in an orientation of the campus this week and
22 new faculty were welcomed to
campus.
Some of the parking lots have
been resurfaced and the Visual Arts
Building is now open for students
and classes. A dedication ceremony
is in the planning stages for the
building, the last of the bond projects. The Board participated in a
sneak “peak tour” of the facility and
I can tell you that this building is
spectacular! It makes use of natural lighting for our art students, has
plenty of space for classrooms for
the visual arts, and is landscaped
with water saving plants and trees.
Please let me know if you would like
to attend the dedication ceremony!
Letters of congratulation are
being sent to students who made
the spring Honor Roll. Some 2,000
students finished the term with a
3.8 gpa or higher, and 1,200 made
the Dean’s List with a gpa of 3.5 or

National Publication Ranks Citrus College #1
Citrus College was recently
ranked first in the nation for
awarding associate degrees in fine
and performing arts to Hispanic
students.
The Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, a bi-weekly journal
that reaches nearly 50,000 readers, acknowledged Citrus College
in its June 2016 “Hispanic Arts”
edition. The college was included
on the publication’s list of the “Top
Community Colleges for Hispanic
Art Majors.”
“Since its early years, Citrus
College has received acclaim for
its exceptional academic offerings
in the arts. Being included among
the nation’s top 10 community colleges for Hispanic art majors is an
incredible honor that affirms our
constantly expanding and evolving programs,” said Dr. Geraldine
M. Perri, superintendent/president of Citrus College. “Our ranking as the top college in the nation
for awarding associate degrees in
the arts to Hispanic students is
a tremendous accomplishment
made possible by Citrus College’s
outstanding faculty and staff.”
The fine and performing arts
ranking is the second recognition
Citrus College has received from
the Hispanic Outlook this year. In
February, the publication ranked
Citrus College 12th out of the nation’s more than 1,100 community
colleges in awarding associate de-
grees to Hispanic students.
“These remarkable achievements reflect Citrus College’s ongoing commitment to increasing
student success and college completion rates,” said Dr. Perri.
In addition to highlighting Citrus College’s dedication to serving
students of various cultural backgrounds, the first-place Hispanic
Outlook ranking heightens the
anticipation and excitement for
the dedication of the Visual Arts
Building on September 6.
As the college’s newest facility,
the Visual Arts Building includes
74 classrooms, three computer
labs, studios for drawing, painting, and printmaking, as well as
an art gallery, large ceramics lab,
and lecture hall.
“This recent recognition from
The Hispanic Outlook in Higher
Education underlines Citrus College’s commitment to serving a
diverse educational community
by providing a wide variety of innovative academic programs,”
said Mrs. Susan M. Keith, president of the Citrus Community
College District Board of Trustees.
“The college’s newest building will
serve as the perfect home for some
of these world-renown programs.
We look forward to its opening
and expect its completion to facilitate further success for Citrus College’s Visual and Performing Arts
Division.”

If you twisted your back, I’ll get
you back on your feet in 5 days!
A patient referred by her friend
visited my clinic for her headache
recently. She suffered a severe
headache for
more
than
2 month. I
found out that
her headache
is triggered
from
both
Yu Chen L.Ac. of her sinus
and her neck. I inserted a couple
of needles in her neck and two
needles in her hand after the diagnosis. Her headache had relieved
instantly. She felt a lot better after
the first week of treatments. I believe she will be completely healed
with two more weeks of treatments. There is a game “POKEMON GO”, you will see many people walking around and looking
at their smart phone for couple of
hours. It is very good that you can
walk around and get some exercise but it is damaging your neck
too. Therefore, if you could take a
break and stretch your neck every
30 min it will be better.
A patient visited a couple of
weeks ago experiencing pain in
her upper ribs, hips and thighs.
After I examined her, I found the
cause of the problem is her upper
and lower back spine which is the
Du meridian in Chinese Medicine.
Her pain level decreased from 10
to 2 with three weeks of treatments. Afterwards, she asked
me if I can also do weight control
for her. I agreed because her back
problem would reoccur with the
overweight issue. I inserted some
magnetic pellets in her ear, she
lost 7 pounds in just one week.
Acupuncture is the most safe and
natural method to lose weight.
There is no pain nor drug/supplement involved for the weight control. Most importantly, you would
see the weight loss in just a couple
of weeks.
There are many things you can
do to prevent a back pain. Following any period of prolonged inactivity, begin a program of regular
low-impact exercises. Walking or
swimming 30 minutes a day can
increase muscle strength and flexibility. Yoga can also help stretch,
strengthen muscles, and improve
posture. Always stretch before exercise or other strenuous physical
activity. In addition, you can join
our back pain free program after
we cure your back pain.
Back Pain & Sports Injury
Acupuncture Center has been
specializing in stroke, back pain,
sports injury, headache, heel pain
and many difficult diseases for
more than 40 years. My father,
Dr. Chao Chen, developed the
theory, “I Ching Acupuncture”.
In our clinic data, more than 60%
of my patients visited due to back
pain. 80-90% of them experienced
great relief after 3-12 treatments
in average, even if the back pain
was caused from a surgery.
Don’t worry if you have back
pain, knee pain, shoulder pain or
any sports injury, I can relieve it
in days or weeks.

Baldwin Park Unified has released a new smartphone app that
will allow families to keep up with

and tap into a host of student and
parent resources.
The free app, developed over
the summer, is available via Apple’s App Store and Google Play.
The District will customize it in

school-specific content.
“Baldwin Park Unified is embracing the advantages of technology as an avenue to connecting
with our community,” Baldwin
Park Unified Superintendent
Froilan N. Mendoza said. “This
app gives our families an informative and convenient channel to obtain the latest information.”
The app will allow the District

including breaking news about
schools and student achievements.
By October, the District will
add information for each of the
high schools. Information for the
middle schools and junior highs
will be available by November. Elementary school information will
be added in early 2017.
In 2017-18, the District will
connect the app with its online
gradebooks, allowing parents to
check grades on the go and receive
notices when their children shine
or struggle.
“We are extremely excited
about the opportunities this app
provides as we expand our ways
of communicating with Baldwin
Park’s families,” Board of Education President Christina Lucero
said.
Kappa Gamma, an honor society of
key women educators, invites to its

The Busy Mom's Guide To Staying Fit
I've been there. For a long time, I thought too much protein would cause we to swell up like a body builder. So, I
ate it sparingly. I couldn't have been further from the truth.
Protein is essential. It enables our bodies to function and
in the right amount, can help with weight loss. In today's
article , I'll even tell you how much protein and what types
of protein you should be eating. I hope you enjoy it...
If you are a mom, you know how difficult it can be to
stay on track with your fitness and diet. All the moms I
work with as clients tell me how unpredictable kids are.
But, that doesn't mean we just give up on eating well and
moving often the second we have a child. If you're a busy
mom, I think you'll find the article super helpful:

Size Does Matter
A Guide to Serving Size and Portion Control Part 1
by Tina L. Kerrigan, MS, RD
As I write, I am perusing a
common can
of condensed
soup.
You
know, open
can, put in
saucepan, add
an additional
Tina Kerrigan, can of waMS, RDN
ter, heat and
serve. Something we all do for a
quick lunch or light dinner.
Have you ever read the label?
Under “Nutrition Facts” It seems
very clear. Sodium 850 mg or 35%
of your total daily requirement.
So far so good. Now note the
fine print. Serving size, 1/2 cup,
2.5 servings per can. I don’t know
about you, but if I make a can of
soup, I eat a can of soup. At 2.5
servings per can, that’s 87.5% of
your total daily salt requirement.
Now let’s talk about sugar.
Same can indicates: Sugars 12
grams per serving. Twelve times
2.5 equals 30 grams of sugar. Current American Heart Association
recommendations are 24 grams
of sugar per day for women and
36 grams per day for men. If my
math is correct, eating this one
can of soup exceeds the entire
daily sugar consumption for a
woman and doesn’t leave a lot of
room for a man.
Don’t get me wrong, today’s
lifestyle means we all have the
occasional need for quick meals,
whether at home or on the road.
They have a very valid place in
our eating habits.However, if you
are concerned about nutrition and
health, both for yourself and your
family, READ THE LABELS,
of every processed food you see at
the market.
All processed foods, by definition, will have high levels of salt
and sugars. That’s not, again by
definition, a bad thing. Convenience foods need to be shelf stable, easy to prepare and appeal to
our palates. To accomplish these
goals, sodium and a variety of
sugars are necessary for the mass
production methods required.
Take a little extra time and
READ THE LABELS of every
prepackaged, processed food and
review, not just the “Nutrition
Facts”, but the overall picture.

At Foothill, Ms. Thompson has taught elementary and junior high classes. She has
also served as Curriculum Director, overseeing
teacher training and curriculum implementation. For over 12 years, she has served on accreditation teams for the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), and will
oversee Foothill's 2017 accreditation self-study.
Asked about her new position, Ms. Thompson
said, "I look forward to the journey ahead. I
believe the Lord has prepared me for such a
time as this. I am excited about all the good
things the Lord has in store for our school:'
Today, Foothill Christian School and Preschool welcome nearly 800 students on two
campuses, as well as new members to our faculty and administrative team.
Along with providing direct supervision of all
TK - 3th grade teachers, Ms. Thompson will
oversee curriculum development, textbook
evaluation and adoption, teacher professional
development and training, classroom observations, and teacher evaluations.
In this month's report, it is my pleasure to
spotlight two outstanding faculty veterans who
now assume new duties in administration.

Foothill Christian School's humble beginning, with just a handful of students in 1964,
was the outward expression of a passionate
vision. A vision owned by a handful of men
and women who mortgaged their homes to finance a Christian school that would be a shining beacon to our great city of Glendora and
surrounding communities.

teaching three years ago. Prior work experience includes a time in which she coordinated
a number of programs, designed curriculum

a home for homeless and at-risk youth in Illinois. She is also experienced in recreational teaching, having created and implemented summer camps for area schools and local
non-profits.
Mrs. Mounday's new duties include monitoring and supervising all TK - 3th grade

ACCU Dared To Dance Back to School at
Glendora, CA (August 11, 2016)
– Responding with enthusiasm and McKinley Children’s
generosity to a community need, the
employees of America’s Christian Center
Credit Union (ACCU) raised $1,534
in a 7 day fund raising campaign for
the family of 3 year old Finley Smallwood of Corona, California.
Finley, adopted at birth, has
spastic cerebral palsy and is unable
to walk, is in need of a specialized
surgery that would bring the hope of
strengthening her legs and putting
her on a path to walking on her own.
ACCU joined the fund raising
campaign for Finley which was
launched several months ago by her
adoptive mother Christina Smallwood. Smallwood created the website DoYouDareToDance.com and
invited prospective donors to build
their fund raising efforts for Finley
around a dancing theme. Dancing
videos in Finley’s honor by the Los
Angeles Fire Department, KTLA
Channel 5, and others have gone
viral and have brought welcome attention to the cause.
“Finley is such a sweet, happy,
precious child,” said Mendell Thompson, President/CEO of ACCU, whose
own dance moves on Finley’s behalf
were posted on ACCU’s social media
sites. “We are touched by her story,
encouraged by her spirit, and happy
to do our part to help raise funds for
this transformative surgery. We look
forward to seeing Finley again soon
when she can walk into our credit
union under her own power!”
ACCU set a goal of $1,000 and
gave its employees one week to meet
that fund raising target. On Wednesday, August 3, the final day of the
ACCU fund raising drive, Finley
and the Smallwood family, visited
ACCU headquarters in Glendora.
They were greeted by several dozen
dancing ACCU employees, dancers
from Dance Street West Studio, and
community news outlets Glendora
City News and San Gabriel Valley
Examiner. A check for $1,534 to help
the cause was presented to Finley
and her family.
“We are grateful beyond words
for the support of America’s Christian Credit Union,” said Christina
Smallwood. “For dozens of individual employees to have chipped in for
Finley, just within the span of one
week, is extremely gratifying. Thank
you for this wonderful donation, it
helped push us past our goal!”
Over 600 McKinley Children Center children started
school
this
month
and
most are in
need of Backto-School supplies.
On
August 22 over
120 students;
ages
5-22;
came from 26
local
school
districts to begin the new
school year at McKinley Children’s Center’s Canyon View
School (CVS). CVS offer state
of the art programs and individualized teaching programs
to help children with learning
and behavioral disabilities
succeed in their education.
This return to school reminds us that the fall means
exciting back-to-school shopping for many children, but
there are many in the community who have never
owned a new pair of shoes, let
alone a backpack of their own.
McKinley Children’s Center
is looking for donations of
back to school supplies to help
students at Canyon View, and
in McKinley’s residential,
foster and mental health programs. If you have items to
donate please contact Rhonda
Beltran, Chief Development
Officer at (909) 670-1577 or
at beltranr@mckinleycc.org.

Azusa Unified Announces Updated Policy for Providing Free and
Reduced-Price Meals for Children
Azusa Unified School District today announced its policy for providing free and reduced-price meals for
children served under the National
School Lunch Program and School
Breakfast Program. Each school
and/or the central office has a copy of
the policy, which may be reviewed by
any interested party.
The household size and income
criteria identified below will be
used to determine eligibility for free,
reduced-price, or full-price meal
benefits. Children from households
whose income is at or below the levels
shown are eligible for free or reducedprice meals. Children who receive
Food Stamps (FS), California Work
Opportunity and Responsibility to
Kids (CalWORKs), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations
(FDPIR) benefits are automatically
eligible for free meals regardless of
the income of the household in which
they reside. Eligibility for a foster
child is based on a separate application and solely on the amount of the
child’s “personal use” income.
Households must complete an applicationeveryschoolyearunlessthey
are notified of Direct Certification. To
apply for free or reduced-priced meal
benefits, the Azusa Unified School
District offers paper applications
located at the Nutrition Services Office at 546 S Citrus Avenue, Azusa,
CA 91702. Office hours are 7:30
a.m.-4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday during the school year, at each
school or site kitchen in addition to
on-line at Azusa.org. If a paper application is filled out, it is asked that it
be returned to the Nutrition Services
Office or to the child(ren)’s school site
kitchen for processing. Once received
by the office, ten (10) working days
must be allowed for processing. Applications may be submitted at any
time during the school year. The information households provide on the
application will be used to determine
meal eligibility and may be verified
at any time during the school year by
school or program officials.
Requirements for school officials
to determine eligibility for free and
reduced-price benefits are as follows:
For households receiving CalFresh,
CalWORKs, or FDPIR benefits –
applications need only include the
enrolled child(ren)’s name, CalFresh,
CalWORKs, or FDPIR case number,
and the signature of an adult household member. For households who
do not list a CalFresh, CalWORKs,or
FDPIR case number, the application must include the names of all
household members, the amount
and source of the income received by
each household member, and the signature and corresponding Social Security number of an adult household
member. If the household member
who signs the application does not
have a Social Security number, the
household member must indicate on
the application that a Social Security
number is not available.
Under the provisions of the free
and reduced-price meal policy, the
determining official(s), as designated
by the sponsor/agency, shall review
applications and determine eligibility. Parents or guardians dissatisfied
with the eligibility ruling may discuss
the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. Parents
may also make a formal request for
an appeal hearing of the decision and
may do so orally or in writing with
the sponsor/agency’s hearing official.
Parents or guardians should contact
their child(ren)’s school(s) for specific
information regarding the name of
the determining official and/or hearing official for a specific school, agency, or district.
If a household member becomes
unemployed or if the household size
increases, the household should contact Nutrition Services. Such changes may make the children of the
household eligible for benefits if the
household’s income falls at or below
the levels shown above.
HouseholdsthatreceiveCalFresh,
CalWORKs, or FDPIR benefits may
not have to complete an Application
for Free or Reduced-Price Meals or
Free Milk. School officials will determine eligibility for free meals based
on documentation obtained directly
from the CalFresh, CalWORKs, KinGAP, or FDPIR office that a child is
a member of a household currently
receiving CalFresh or FDPIR benefits or an assistance unit receiving
CalWORKs benefits. School officials
will notify households of their eligibility, but those who do not want their
child(ren) to receive free meals must
contact the Nutrition Services Office.
CalFresh, CalWORKs and FDPIR
households should complete an application if they are not notified of
their eligibility beginning August 15,
2016.
Further inquiries can be directed
to Amber Sanchez, Assistant Director of Nutrition Services for the
Azusa Unified School District at

Fall is just around
the corner @ the
Glendora Library
Smoothies? Cereal? Eggs and
bacon? Pancakes or waffles?
If “morning food” is your thing,
you’re in luck: September is
Better Breakfast Month. A
number you
should know is
641 … but not
because that’s
the time your
Janet Stone
get-up-andbreak-your-fast alarm is set. You
should know 641 because it’s the
shelf area at the Glendora Public
Library (and many others) where
the cookbooks live. The number
is 641.5, specifically … And walk
a little farther down the aisles to
get to the breakfast cookbooks at
641.52.
Wander through 641.52 and
you might find Joy of Cooking:
All About Breakfast & Brunch,
or Betty Crocker: The Big Book
of Breakfast & Brunch. Wander
there, that is, unless you’re into
something a little less traditional
… because 641.5636 is where
you would find Vb6 : Eat Vegan
Before 6:00 To Lose Weight And
Restore Your Health... For Good.
The “six forty-ones,” as they can
be called, have a lot of other helpful stuff for September, which
also happens to be:
California
Wine
Month.
Check out 641.22 if you’re looking
for books like Great Tastes Made
Simple : Extraordinary Food And
Wine Pairing For Every Palate
or How To Love Wine. National
Chicken Month. Books like Pillsbury, Best Chicken Cookbook
and The New York Times Chicken Cookbook live on our shelves
at 641.665. (Don’t worry: If you’d
rather raise chickens than eat
them, there’s a more agricultural
section for you at 636.5.)
National
Whole
Grains
Month. You’ll find grains from
barley to quinoa in section
641.631, in books like The New
Whole Grains Cookbook and
Whole Grains: Every Day, Every
Way.
If it’s been a long time since you
used Dewey Decimal numbers
like 641 to find your way around,
no worries! That’s just the way
we group the books together and
keep them in order. In the Glendora Public Library, simply look
for the big “COOKBOOKS” sign
up near the ceiling and browse to
your heart’s content.
And never hesitate to ask a
staff member … Even if it’s not
in the “six forty-ones,” we want to
make sure you find just the right
thing for National Honey Month,
National Papaya Month, National Potato Month, National Rice
Month, and even National Food
Safety Education Month.
Happy September (and bon
appétit)!
Why do we need an International Talk Like
a Pirate Day?
Make no mistake. We do. But
it’s a little hard to articulate why,
especially when you’ve made the
mistake of referring to your wife as
a scurvy bilge rat and tried to order
her back into the galley.
Talking like a pirate is fun. It’s
really that simple. It gives your
conversation a swagger, an elán,
denied to landlocked lubbers. The
best explanation came from a guy
at a Cleveland radio station who interviewed us on the 2002 Talk Like
a Pirate Day. He told us we were
going to be buried by people asking for interviews because it was a
“whimsical alternative” to all the serious things that were making the
news so depressing. In other words,
silliness is the holiday’s best selling
point.
Before we go any further, there’s
something we need to be clear
about. Pirates were and are bad
people. Really reprehensible. Even
the most casual exploration of the
history of pirates (and believe us,
casual is an accurate description of
our research) leaves you hip deep
in blood and barbarity. We recognize this, all right? We aren’t for one
minute suggesting that real, honest-to-God pirates were in any way,
shape or form worth emulating.
So what is it exactly that we’re celebrating here, if not pirates? What,
you’re wondering, is the point?
We’re going to be painfully honest here, perhaps fatally so. The
point is, there is no point. And that’s
what’s fun about Talk Like a Pirate
Day specifically, and talking like a
pirate in general.
We’re talking about the mere
image of swaggering pirateness.
And while this is a guys’ guide, the
comely wench will have fun talking
like a pirate, too. It’s powerful, yet
harmless. Perhaps, dare we suggest
it, the ultimate aphrodisiac. Try it!
When Sept. 19 rolls around
and suddenly tens of thousands of
people are saying “arrr” and “Weigh
anchor or I’ll give you a taste of the
cap’n’s daughter,” it staggers us.
They are talking like pirates -- not
because two yahoos from the Northwestern United States told them to,
but simply because it’s fun.

Pokémon is No Go for Sex Offenders in
California
Assemblywoman Chang Announces Legislation to Prohibit
Sex Offenders from “luring” Kids
Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang (R-Diamond Bar) today
announced she is pushing legislation to prohibit sex offenders
from using games like Pokemon GO to lure minors to their location. Recent reports have demonstrated how easy it can be for
sex offenders to use new geolocation games like Pokémon GO to
abuse children.
“I am Pokémon GO’s biggest fan – that’s no secret,” said Assemblywoman Chang. “But as someone who uses the game, you
can see how easy it is for criminals and predators to attract people to certain locations -- and many of those players are minors.”
Pokémon players have fallen victim to criminals in a number
of ways in the one month the game has been released in the US.
For example, armed robbers have been known bait to victims
using the game’s features that allow players to lure others hoping to “catch” more Pokémon characters. Meanwhile law enforcement has expressed concerns that sexual predators could
use the game in a similar way. Reporters in California have
found that the game can bring players within feet of the residences of sex offenders.
“Before new games are released and they grow even more
popular, it’s critical we establish protections for kids,” said
Chang.
AB 2682 – once amended – will clarify that using interactive
video games like Pokémon GO in an effort to prey on children is
prohibited by law. The Legislature has until August 31 to send
the bill to the governor for consideration.

Assemblymember Chris Holden’s Talent
Scam Prevention Bill Passes Senate Floor
Assemblymember
Chris
Holden’s Talent Scam Prevention Bill, AB 2068, passed the
Senate Floor with a vote of 380. AB 2068 strengthens the
Talent Scam Prevention Act
by expanding the list of communication forms that can be
regulated such as online and
computer applications. The
bill now awaits Governor Jerry Brown’s signature.
“With the unprecedented
popularity of reality television
and social media sites such as
YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr, and others, the quest for
instant stardom has become
prevalent among all ages,
especially teens and young
adults,” said Assemblymember Chris Holden. “Unfortunately, this creates a ripe
situation for illegitimate talent agencies to scam young,
aspiring artists.”
There are nearly 500 talent
agencies registered within
Los Angeles County ranging
from large powerhouses to
smaller companies. Although
most registered talent agencies are legitimate, it is often
the smaller, unlicensed talent
agencies that charge up front
fees or refuse to remove content at the request of a client.
The Talent Scam Prevention Act outlawed such practices; however, the law passed
in 2009 and did not regulate
newer forms of technology.
This bill updates the talent
service laws to accommodate
new technologies, such as mobile apps and online services
that are not on the internet
as websites. The bill applies
the same 10 day deadline that
currently applies to the removal of website content and
photos to the removal of content and photos from mobile
apps and online services.

Basic and Advanced Pirate Lingo
Pirate lingo is rich and complicated, sort of like a good stew. There
are several other sites that offer glossaries that are pretty good, and you
can find some of them on our links
page.
But if you just want a quick fix, a
surface gloss, a “pirate patina,” if you
will, here are the five basic words
that you cannot live without. Master
them, and you can face Talk Like a
Pirate Day with a smile on your face
and a parrot on your shoulder, if
that’s your thing.
Basics
Ahoy! - “Hello!”
Avast! - Stop and give attention.
It can be used in a sense of surprise,
“Whoa! Get a load of that!” which
today makes it more of a “Check it
out” or “No way!” or “Get off!”
Aye! - “Why yes, I agree most
heartily with everything you just
said or did.”
Aye aye! - “I’ll get right on that
sir, as soon as my break is over.”
Arrr! - This one is often confused
with arrrgh, which is of course the
sound you make when you sit on a
belaying pin. “Arrr!” can mean, variously, “yes,” “I agree,” “I’m happy,”
“I’m enjoying this beer,” “My team is
going to win it all,” “I saw that television show, it sucked!” and “That was
a clever remark you or I just made.”
And those are just a few of the myriad possibilities of Arrr!
Advanced pirate lingo; or On
beyond “Aarrr!”
Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’re ready to start expanding
your pirate vocabulary. Try these for
starters
Beauty – The best possible pirate address for a woman. Always
preceded by “me,” as in, “C’mere,
me beauty,” or even, “me buxom
beauty,” to one particularly well endowed. You’ll be surprised how effective this is.
Bilge rat – The bilge is the lowest level of the ship. It’s loaded with
ballast and slimy, reeking water.
A bilge rat, then, is a rat that lives
in the worst place on the ship. On
TLAP Day – A lot of guy humor
involves insulting your buddies to
prove your friendship. It’s important
that everyone understand you are
smarter, more powerful and much
luckier with the wenches than they
are. Since bilge rat is a pretty dirty
thing to call someone, by all means
use it on your friends.
Bung hole – Victuals on a ship
were stored in wooden casks. The
stopper in the barrel is called the
bung, and the hole is called the bung
hole. That’s all. It sounds a lot worse,
doesn’t it? On TLAP Day – When
dinner is served you’ll make quite
an impression when you say, “Well,
me hearties, let’s see what crawled
out of the bung hole.” That statement will be instantly followed by
the sound of people putting down
their utensils and pushing themselves away from the table. Great!
More for you!
Grog – An alcoholic drink, usually rum diluted with water, but in
this context you could use it to refer
to any alcoholic beverage other than
beer, and we aren’t prepared to be
picky about that, either. Call your
beer grog if you want. We won’t stop
you! Water aboard ship was stored
for long periods in slimy wooden
barrels, so you can see why rum was
added to each sailor’s water ration
– to kill the rancid taste. On TLAP
Day – Drink up, me hearties! And
call whatever you’re drinking grog if
you want to. If some prissy pedant
purses his lips and protests the word
grog can only be used if drinking
rum and water, not the Singapore
Sling you’re holding, keelhaul him!
Hornpipe – Both a single-reeded
musical instrument sailors often
had aboard ship, and a spirited
dance that sailors do. On TLAP
Day – We are not big fans of the
capering, it’s not our favorite art
form, if you will, so we don’t have a
lot to say on the subject, other than
to observe that the common term
for being filled with lust is “horny,”
and hornpipe then has some comical possibilities. “Is that a hornpipe
in your pocket, or are you just glad
to see me? Or both?”
Lubber – (or land lubber) This is
the seaman’s version of land lover,
mangled by typical pirate disregard
for elocution. A lubber is someone
who does not go to sea, who stays
on the land. On TLAP Day – More
likely than not, you are a lubber 364
days of the year. But not if you’re
talking like a pirate! Then the word
lubber becomes one of the more
fierce weapons in your arsenal of
piratical lingo. In a room where everyone is talking like pirates, lubber
is ALWAYS an insult.
Smartly – Do something quickly.
On TLAP Day – “Smartly, me lass,”
you might say when sending the bar
maid off for another round. She will
be so impressed she might well spit
in your beer.

Rio Hondo College Bustles as Fall
Semester Begins
Riky Shannon, Matthew Bowman and Santiago Guerrero, all
recent graduates of La Serna High
School in Whittier, regrouped outside the bustling Rio Café at Rio
Hondo College on Monday to share
notes about their first day as college
freshmen.
“It’s a big transition from high
school to college. You really have to
be on top of things,” Guerrero said.
“I never really had to study in high
school, but I know I will in college.”
The men joined thousands of
fellow students in starting the fall
2016-17 semester at the community college. Students clustered in
small groups to share their first-day
experiences, stopped at information
booths for last-minute directions to
classrooms and pored over new textbooks.
Fall semester began Aug. 20,
but many students started classes
on Monday at the main campus in
Whittier and satellite campuses in
El Monte, South Whittier and Pico
Rivera. The Rio Hondo Educational
Center at Pico Rivera, which opened
this fall, offers 25 day and evening
courses.
“It’s an incredibly exciting day
for us as well as for the students,”
Superintendent/President Teresa
Dreyfuss said. “There is so much energy on campus, so much hope and
optimism as our students embark on
their higher-education journeys with
the help and support of our dedicated faculty, administrators and staff.”
New this year is a Bachelor of Science program in automotive technology, the only degree of its kind at a
community college in Southern California. Rio Hondo College is offering
the major as part of a historic state
initiative.
The College’s top majors include
business administration, accounting
and computer information. Besides
being sought-after by students seeking entry-level positions, the business degrees provide a pathway for
continued education at the bachelor
and master level.
The Computer Information
Technology (CIT) program is
growing through new degree and
certificate programs. Computer-
related jobs are growing in varied
industries, which are seeking entrylevel employees with the skills like
those taught in the CISCO certification program.
Rio Hondo College is listed among
the 2016 Top 25 Community Colleges for Hispanics by Hispanic Outlook
in Higher Education Magazine for
helping students attain degrees. The
College offers 24 degrees that guarantee graduates admission to California
State University campuses.
The College is also home to nationally recognized programs in nursing,
firefighting and police services.
Jasmine Sosa, 20, a returning
child development major, joined
fellow South El Monte residents
Nadine Gonzalez, a freshman, and
Adrene Hernandez, a returning administrative justice major, to chat
between classes on Monday. Sosa
said her goals for the new semester
were simple and clear: “Pass all my
classes, again, and be organized.”
Rosemead resident Meagan Mutuc, 20, a returning nursing student,
said she remembered to arrive early
Monday for her first class to ensure
she could snag a prime parking space.
“I came at 9,” Mutuc said. “I got a
space right by my class.”
Yellow-shirted staff members
dotted the hilltop campus, guiding
the flood of new and returning students to a host available parking lots
and shuttles. Mutuc said parking
will become easier in about a month,
once the new students learn the ins
and outs of the campus.
New students also got a hand
from Rio Hondo College Interim
Vice President of Academic Affairs
JoAnna Schilling, who positioned
herself near the campus’ central
stairs, a cluster of maps in hand, to
provide directions to a steady flow of
new students.
“At Rio Hondo, a sense of community permeates all we do, a feeling
very much in evidence on our first
day of classes,” Rio Hondo College
Board of Trustees President Mary
Ann Pacheco said. “We are thrilled
that so many students are finding
ways to take advantage of our rich
program of academic and career
preparation programs.”
Bill to End Tampon Tax Sent to Governor’s Desk
California May Now Join other States and Scrap the Unjust Tax on Women
Assemblywoman Ling Ling
Chang announced today that her
legislation jointly sponsored with
Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia
(D-Bell Gardens) to end the sales tax
on tampons was approved by both
houses of the Legislature and sent to
the governor for approval. While the
state exempts the sales tax on various health products, tampons and
sanitary napkins are the only health
necessities exclusive to women that
are still taxed. AB 1561 would end
this tax on women.
“As a taxpayer advocate I can appreciate this bill simply on economic
grounds,” said Assemblywoman
Chang. “Any opportunity to give
tax relief to the people of California is
something I will be interested in. But
as a woman I also know this tax is
something we need to repeal on principle. Women should not be unfairly
targeted in our tax code.”
Current law grants a sales and
use tax exemption for products that
are deemed “necessities of life” like
food products -- including candy --
and other health items such as Viagra®. In other words, any item not
on this list is deemed unnecessary
or a luxury for consumers. Unfortunately, feminine hygiene products –
necessary health products that cost
women thousands of dollars over a
lifetime – are not exempt from the
state sales tax, and therefore deemed
nonessential. As a result, California’s
tax laws unfairly target women.
“Collectively we pay $20 million
in taxes on feminine hygiene products. By putting that money back in
the hands of women, we are creating
greater access to a very important
health product – especially in lowincome and homeless populations.”
At least fifteen states have introduced legislation to repeal the tax on
feminine hygiene products. The Republican governor of Illinois recently
approved a tampon tax repeal as has
New York and Connecticut.
“It’s great to see both Democrats
and Republicans coming together on
this important effort all across the
country,” added Chang.

The Cat’s Meow on High Intensity Fitness Training
by Jordan Nichols, CSCS
There is a perceived misconception out there that there is only one
way to work out and that is training so hard that by the end of the
session your head is in a trash can
throwing up
your breakfast.
High Intensity
training is all
the craze these
days. This type
of “give me 1
more horrible
Jordan Nichols,
rep” or “jump
CSCS
up and down to
complete exhaustion” work out routines are a train wreck approach. I
would challenge anyone to find an
educated, experienced, fitness specialist who would agree with this
model as a long-term approach to
increase one’s fitness. When you
take a sedentary person and train
that person hard for 6 weeks of
course they are going to get good
results but by no means does that
mean they would not yield good
results training at lower intensities,
which also would reduce the risk of
injury and burnout. High Intensity
is not necessarily a bad thing. The
problem is it is being used way too
often by uneducated trainers and
facilities. It is also the number one
factor behind a client hitting a plateau and not progressing in their
fitness program. True high intensity training takes place at 95-100
% maximum effort/heart rate. You
need your body to perform maximal
efforts in order to drive your heart
rate up that high. These types of efforts take a full 48-72 hours to recover from and there lies the problem.
With most high intensity training
programs these efforts are done day
in and day out! Your body and heart
never gets the chance to fully recover. You end up not giving your best
effort and constantly working out in
a fatigued state exercising at 80% of
your heart rate or what I like to call
the path to nowhere zone. When
you train with your heart rate between 80-90% you’re not training
your high threshold fibers. You’re
not developing your nervous system
and you’re certainly not producing
maximum force. Rather you are
just going to become fatigued which
will lead to poor results. 
There are really only two training zones the average person
should be focused on training at,
above 95% or below 75% intensity
(active recovery). What I’m seeing
on a grand scale is that people are
taking their fitness classes that are
deemed high intensity 4-5 days a
week. It is physiologically impossible to exercise more than twice
a week at intensity levels above
95%. By doing so the average person never fully recovers and ends
up exercising at intensity levels
that will not allow them to improve
their overall fitness. When you are
constantly stressing your body with
high intensity training in conjunction with work/life stress without
enough recovery your heartbeat
becomes very rhythmic and there is
a consistent time lapse in-between
beats. When you are rested (think
low intensity training or fully recovered) your heart rate drops and
the time in between beats becomes
very inconsistent and has a lot of
variability. The longer the length
of time in-between beats, the more
relaxed and recovered your body is
which should lead to another high
intensity training bout.  
You have two nervous systems
that handle stress which are the
sympathetic and parasympathetic
nervous system. When you exercise at very high levels of intensity
you’re relying solely on your sympathetic nervous system, think “fight
or flight”. After a punishing workout your body in order to keep you
alive will immediately shift over to
its parasympathetic nervous system think “repair and healing” to
decrease stress. But in this case it
takes a couple days to fully recharge
the batteries before you can truly
tap into another bout of intense
training. You also need to ask yourself how you are going to progress
your program to avoid stagnation.
Your body responds and adapts to
high intensity training really fast
which is great for those quick newbie fitness gains but how are you going to progress your program when
your body adapts to the same high
intensity formula that you do every
day. Other fitness adaptations you
can work on include favorable hormonal adaptations, such as training
at an incredibly slow speeds to aerobically develop your cardiopulmonary and neuromuscular systems,
parasympathetic and central nervous system. This type of activity is
much more favorable as it has the
largest room to improve. At Heart
Fit we perform a lot of fitness training focused on going slow in order to
develop slow twitch muscle fibers
(think squatting at a snail’s pace)
which creates a hypoxic environment. This sounds counter intuitive
because hypoxic environments destroy mitochondria. However, slow
twitch fibers naturally have large
mitochondria amounts. Since hypoxic environments increase muscle
size, larger slow twitch fibers would
increase mitochondrial density. I
know people like to do hard stuff,
but the right hard stuff at the right
time is what improves performance
and decreases injury. Lastly, the
number one goal in any respectable
program should be to take away
one’s pain and not deliver it on a
daily basis. For free research based

Blue Cut Fire Relief
Fund launched with
$100,000 Initial
Contribution
Inland Empire United Way has
established a Fire Relief Fund in
collaboration with other community
and nonprofit partners for the collection of financial donations to help residents impacted by the Blue Cut Fire.
The Community Foundation –
which serves San Bernardino and
Riverside Counties – has committed
the first $100,000 to the fund and encourages others to join in their concern for those whose lives have been
affected by this disaster.
“We are deeply concerned about
the High Desert community and
the devastation we are witnessing
in the wake of this horrific fire,”
said Dr. Jonathan Lorenzo Yorba,
President and CEO of The Community Foundation. “By providing
this grant, we hope to inspire more
giving to the Fire Relief Fund at the
Inland Empire United Way, and to
support the recovery efforts of the
many nonprofit organizations that
are providing critical services to fire
victims in our region.”
Contributions will be used to address the short and long-term needs
of those affected by the Blue Cut
Fire. United Way is committed to
working with other local nonprofits
and service providers to identify the
greatest needs and best resources
for helping this community recover
in the weeks and months ahead.
100% of contributions will be directed to recovery efforts for those
affected by the Blue Cut Fire.
County of San Bernardino First
District Supervisor, Robert Lovingood, offered his support saying “The
Blue Cut fire has devastated many
families. Just as the community rallied during the peak of the fire, now
it is even more important for all of
us to come together to support those
who have lost homes, pets, vehicles
and all of their worldly possessions. I
hope you will find it in your heart to
give generously to this Blue Cut Fire
Relief Fund. 100% of the proceeds will
go to help victims rebuild their lives.”
Donations can be made online

the Cal Poly Pomona College of Agriculture’s farm operations, student
clubs, and activities.
Attractions
This year, the Pumpkin Festival
is expanding to include the annual
Cal Poly Pomona Insect Fair, which
previously was held on campus at
the Bronco Student Center.
The fair will feature thousands of
live and preserved arthropods from
all corners of the world. Vendors will
sell insect-related wares at the fair,
ranging from jewelry that looks like
insects to live insects to take home,
display cases, and frame boxes.
A separate admission fee will be
charged to enter the fair.
In addition, the Pumpkin Festival
will feature the four-acre corn maze, a
petting farm, and horse rides.
Guests can play games at
student-run booths, taste freshsqueezed orange juice at the Farm
Store, or compete in pumpkin-pieeating and seed-spitting contests.
Live musical performances will take
place at the gazebo.
Children can crawl through our
squash tunnels, pick small pumpkins at the Kid’s Patch, get their faces painted, or compete in a costume
contest. Ag Discovery Lane also will
have many free and fun activities.
Improved Parking
The parking situation will improve this year with the opening of
the new, two-story Parking Structure 2 on Temple Avenue near I-Poly
High School, which will add almost
2,000 new parking spaces.
Parking is also available in nearby Lot B, which is within walking
distance of the festival.
Space also will be available in Lot
F and the University Parking Structure off Kellogg and Palm drives. A
shuttle will transport guests from
these lots to the festival free of charge.
Festival-goers who are bringing wagons should park in Parking
Structure 2 or Lot B. The shuttles will
not have enough space for wagons.

The Four Tasks of Mourning
Antiques and Collectibles Need a Pedigree
by David Baiz
by Jennifer Leos
Last month we talked about
the variables of grieving and
how everyone of us grieves in a
slightly different way. That is
natural; we are all individuals.
Today, I
want to
take
a
look at
some of
the way
ou
can
honor
Jennifer True Leos y o u r
l o v e d
one by getting back to a healthy
lifestyle. To do that, I want to
introduce you to Dr. J. William
Worden. Dr. Worden was a pioneer in the hospice movement in
the United States. He has spent
over 40 years working with the
dying and the grieving. In his
book, Grief Counseling and Grief
Therapy, Dr. Worden offers that
there are four basic tasks of
mourning: (1) Accept the Reality of Loss; (2) Process the pain
of grief; (3) Adjust to the world
without the deceased; (4) Reinvesting in another relationship
while not forgetting the past.
Dr. Worden points out that
these are tasks things you need
to work at to accomplish, they
are not steps that you can just
check off a list. The tasks are
fluid and allow you to move back
and forth through the process as
mourning and healing continue.
Each task is designed to help
you work through your individual needs. So, let’s look at each of
the four tasks separately.
Task #1 – Accept the reality
of the loss. Sounds easy, doesn’t
it? But, in reality, you keep hoping that it was all a mistake.
Surely, your loved one will come
walking through the door. Surely, if you pray hard enough, God
will send them back to you. The
fantasy may help you cope for a
short while, but actual healing
cannot begin until reality is ac-
cepted. Your loved one is gone
and will not return. In this lifetime and this world, you will not
see your loved one again. Denying the loss only short circuits
the grieving process putting you
in a repeating cycle, like in the
movie Groundhog Day where everything keeps repeating itself.
How do you escape that cycle?
In the words of Jesus, “the truth
will set you free.” It is impossible to live a full life in a lie. Accepting reality is paramount to
actually living life fully instead
of merely existing.
Task #2 - Work through the
pain and the grief. Another
writer called this, “experience
the pain of grief.” Unfortunately, to live an emotionally healthy
life, you gotta bite the bullet and
acknowledge the hurt and pain
before it can begin to scab over
and allow healing to begin. Ignoring the issues that have damaged our souls can often become
a way of life. We become busy,
emerging ourselves with work,
with family, maybe with sports
or even some type of addiction.
It as if we run fast enough the
pain won’t catch up with us.
But, it always does. Experiencing the pain means slowing
down. It means seeking out silence to listen to your hurt and
your pain.
Acknowledge the
loneliness, anger, emptiness, all
those emotions swelling up inside of you. Sit with the memory
of your loved one – remembering
both the good and the bad. As
with a physical wound, the emotional pain will begin to lessen as
you allow it to flow freely.
Task #3 - Adjust to a new
environment. If I were naming
this task, it would be to learn to
live life without your loved one
in it. It is a difficult thing you
have to do, but you will do it. It
is learning to live life differently.
If you were married, perhaps
your spouse keep the household
books, or kept the car washed
– these are now chores you will
now have to manage, finding
another way to complete those
chores. Inwardly, you may also
have to adjust to a new identity
and a new role. Perhaps you will
have to adjust to being a parent
by yourself or going to events
by yourself. All of these adjustments will take time. They can
be difficult, painful, often overwhelming and sometimes with
tiny, baby steps.
Task #4 – To remember the
deceased while investing in new
relationship. What a messy title. I have a friend who calls this
task – finding a new center of
joy. I like that much better. The
purpose is to re-enter your daily
life with the intention of building new social, emotional, and
spiritual connections. It is not
about forgetting your loved one
but rather holding on to those
memories while discovering that
there are other people, groups,
events in which you can find joy
and satisfaction.
These will
never replace your loved one,
but they can offer you the satisfaction of a life well-lived.
These tasks are not easy in
themselves. Each will take a
deliberate effort on your part.
But, when you are ready, you
will begin to move forward, We
honor our loved one by living life
fully; by learning what matters
most and then open our lives to
receive more of God’s grace. We
can allow joy and happiness back
into our lives. We can choose to
heal and to live, each one of us in
our own way, in our own time, as
the individuals we are.

Azusa Unified Seeks Community Support for Family
Displaced by House Fire
When 18-year-old Emanuel
Mallon graduated from Gladstone High School last June,
he had planned to continue
living at home while pursuing
a certificate in fire technology
at Mt. San Antonio College.
His goal was to ultimately become a firefighter.
However, on the evening of
the Fourth of July, his plan
took a detour after a stranger’s illegal firework landed
on the garage of his family’s
house. Awoken from their
sleep, the family of five evacuated the house just in time
and watched as firefighters
worked to put out the blaze
that had engulfed the inside
of their home. They lost everything.
The next morning Mallon and his parents, Moira
and Raul Montoya, along
with their two younger boys,
Mathew, 15, and Timothy, 11,
found themselves thankful
for their lives but also homeless. Among everything lost in
the blaze was Mallon’s high
school diploma and Timothy’s
signed award from President
Obama.
“I felt like I wanted to do
something to help that night,”
Mallon said. “I know being a
firefighter is kind of a dangerous, risky job but I want to
be able to help people in this
situation.”
That night solidified Mallon’s plans to pursue a career
as a firefighter and to help his
community. As he prepares
to start classes at Mt. SAC
this fall semester, his brother
Mathew began his sophomore
year at Gladstone High School
and Timothy at Slauson Middle School. The family is currently living in an apartment
with relatives in Azusa.
Azusa Unified School District has since partnered with
Foothill Community Church
to collect donations of clothing, food, gift cards and money for the Montoya family.
“As soon as I learned of
this tragedy I knew the District had to rally around this
family and do what we could
to assuage their grief of losing
September 2016
their home,” AUSD Superintendent Dr. Linda Kaminski
said.
Donations can be dropped
off at the front desk of the
District’s main office, 546
S. Citrus Ave. or at Foothill
Community Church, 777 E.
Alosta Ave. On Sunday, Aug.
14 AUSD Board President
Yolanda Rodriguez-Pena escorted the Montoya family to
Memorial Park in Azusa for
the city’s annual Cool Kutz
for Kids event so they can get
a head start on back-to-school
preparation. Not only will
volunteers from local barber
shops provided free haircuts
for the children, they will
have access to much-needed
school supplies.
Between the support of
his church and AUSD, Mallon said he feels overwhelmed
by the support his family has
received. “It’s been a blessing
to see the community come
together and offer help,” he
said. AUSD plans to reissue
Mallon’s high school diploma
in the coming weeks.
In recent months, we have
been handling estate sales
filled with antiques where provenance, or lack thereof, had adversely affected the outcome
of sales. When
discussing the
value of antiques and collectibles, value
is determined
David Baiz
by condition,
rarity, buyer
demand, and its documented
history – also known as provenance.
I bring this subject up again
because, although it is generally
a simple process to chronicle an
item’s pedigree, almost no one
bothers to make the effort toward providing such documentation. Hopefully, I can provide
some guidance in this area.
For most collectors or buyers
of antiques, the oral history of
an item is of little worth. This
is especially true with accounts
handed down through family,
where the embellishment of stories are often taken at face value. Just because your mother
told you that a family heirloom
was once owned by Kit Carson
doesn’t make the story factual.
Had the original 19th century
recipient of the heirloom made
mention of its acquisition in a
diary or letter, possibly stating
how he had befriended Carson
and received it as a gift, then
a line of provenance may have
been established, and – although not concrete proof – it
does nonetheless give some credence to the family lore.
Case in point: when inventorying a local estate, we recently
came across a U.S. Coast Guard
commissioning banner (a long,
slender flag flown on navy warships) dating from World War
II. An old clipping regarding a
Coast Guard ship Northland accompanied the flag. To historians, the Northland played a significant role in WWII for having
been the first U.S. Military
entity to encounter German’s
in battle. Because the owner
of the flag served aboard the
Northland, it could be supposed
that this flag came from that
ship. However, the owner had
died and failed to provide any
written explanation to heirs as
to the flag’s origin. Had he done
so, the value of the flag might
have soared ten-fold, but without such documentation, the
flag is merely a $100 collectible.
Another reason provenance
is so important is the booming
fake and forgery trade. Thanks
to the proliferation of internet
selling, the unwary buyer may
be susceptible to all sorts of
misrepresentations. When purchasing through the internet, it
is always wise to ask how the
item was acquired and is there
any documentation? If the answers are vague or implausible,
you may want pass.
Not all genuine items have
provenance however, and if the
the dealer has a return policy
based on his representations,
it may be a safe bet to continue with the purchase. At that
point, you may wish to take
your newly acquired collectible
to an appraiser (who will charge
for his service, but will provide
written documentation), or to
an auction house. Some auction
houses will provide free evaluation service, but will offer no
written documentation to back
their assessment. This same
process should be used when
purchasing at a flea market or
estate sale, where the seller is
often unable to render any information as to an item’s background or history.
As a seller or collector, you
should write any factual information you have on an item,
such as date purchased, or how
it came into your, or your family’s possession (did a china tea
set come across the prairie with
your great aunt? Did your uncle
buy the painting at a New York
auction in 1950? etc). Avoid any
speculation or assumptions as
any misrepresentation – however slight - will cast doubt everything represented. Some people
prefer writing on slips of paper
and attaching them to the item,
or if you have a large collection,
use a ledger. The more information you provide, the more
the value soars.
Finally, it is the buyer’s
responsibility to know what
they’re buying. Sometime back,
a client had presented me with
a German WWII document for
verification and appraisal. A
simple check on the internet
showed that the German unit
mentioned in the document
never existed and the document
was deemed fake. It’s easy to
aggrandize an item’s history,
but a little self-education can
prevent later heartache over an
expensive purchase.

Maryann
Kvietkauskas
Rachford has been “addicted” to
art since she was young. Maryann
tial in Art, a M.A. in Design (Graphic Design and Film Art Direction)…
and, an EdD in Art Education. In
fact, her doctoral dissertation was
based on research that stressed
interdisciplinary education while
enhancing general subjects by integrating art.
Maryann’s
career continued to flourish
as she moved
to feature films
and commercials; she has
worked as the
creative director
for retail chains,
corporations
and advertising/
graphic design
firms. However,
Maryann believed that none
of it held the
magic of creating traditional
art..and, teaching. As a result of this, she
moved her interests to teaching
art at Woodbury University, UCLA, Biola University, Long
Beach City College, Azusa Pacific,
and American College for Applied
remembers being ill and spending
hours creating her own worlds in
drawings. As Maryann grew, her
passion remained and Maryann
eventually earned her A.A. in Art,
a B.A. in Studio Art (painting and
printmaking), a Teaching Creden-
Design. Currently, Maryann is an
Art Professor at Citrus College and
teaches studio art, computer graphics & typography, Introduction to
Visual Arts, and distance education
art history.
Quilting Sisters
If you have driven on Bonita
Avenue, you would have noticed
the quaint Beautiful Quilt Fabric
store reminding us that quilting has
been a significant folk art since the
1800’s. Because of today’s technology, quilters extend this personal
craft into contemporary forms.
For six years, owner/operators of
San Dimas’ Beautiful Quilt Fabric
store are two sisters, Meredith and
Patricia Bailey. Meredith has been
quilting for over 40 years whereas
Patty, a master seamstress, has
been quilting for ten. Together,
they teach this timeless art form to
novices with Patty revealing new
techniques and leaning towards
traditional quilts from the 1930’s to
modern. On the other hand, Meredith teaches free motion quilting
techniques with preferences ranging from wildlife and religious quilts.
The Beautiful Quilt Fabric store
is located at 237 W Bonita Ave Ste
B and C but you can meet the sisters during Friday and Saturday,
September 19, 10 & 16, 17 at 5:30 to
8:30 pm. The Festival suggests you
make it a party evening with wine
and hors-d’oeuvres (no charge) and
dinner at Lucabella restaurant in
the Walker House, 121 N. San
Dimas Ave. For more information
