GLENDORA - According to
Dalel Snyder, owner of
Glendora Florist, in early years,
Valentine’s Day began as a liturgical celebration of early
Christian saints. One of the
more popular martyrs of the
time was Saint Valentine who
performed weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to
marry as well as ministering to
Christians. Eventually Saint
Valentine was imprisoned and
persecuted under the Roman
Empire.
During his imprisonment, he
is said to have befriended his
jailer Asterius and later he healed
his blind daughter. Before Saint
Valentine’s execution, he wrote
her a farewell signing the letter
“from your Valentine.”
Valentine’s Day has evolved
drastically over the years and by
the 15th century it slowly began to transition into what we
presently know as Valentine’s
Day as. Lovers began to express
their feelings for one another by
presenting flowers, chocolates
and other confectionaries such
as greeting cards known as
“valentines.”
With Valentine’s Day mere
hours away, here are a few tips
from Glendora Florist.
“Send flowers even when she
says not to,” said Luis Gonzalez,
a Glendora Florist customer.
A majority of the women we
spoke to say they would feel a
little disappointed if they didn’t
receive flowers from their significant other on Valentine’s
Day. Women prefer a traditional
greeting card. Not a tweet, not
a Facebook wall post, not a text
message, but a tangible keepsake.
Never, and I repeat never,
send something to your girlfriend that you would send your
mother. Imagine how awkward
it would be for your mother to
receive the same thing from
you that your girlfriend also received.
“Whatever you do, do not
turn on the television,” said Zak
Bushey, a longtime Glendora
Florist customer. Going one
night without watching the big
game won’t kill you. The Super Bowl already happened and
if you must, you can always TiVo Tebow, Kobe and Trout.
The longer you wait, the
more expensive it will probably
be. Some shops unfairly take
advantage of last minute situations, charging customers an
arm and a leg for items that are
way cheaper than marked.

Citrus College Superintendent/President
Nominated for National Award
Dr. Geraldine M. Perri, superintendent/president of Citrus College
by Stacy Armstrong
GLENDORA - Dr. Geraldine
M. Perri, superintendent/president of Citrus College, has been
nominated for an American Association of Community Colleges’ (AACC) 2013 Outstanding Alumni Award.
For 31 years, the AACC has
awarded the Outstanding
Alumni Award to those individuals who have excelled in their
field and given back to their
communities. Recipients are
nominated by the community
college from which they graduated.
Dr. Perri, an alumna of the
City University of New York’s
Hostos Community College,
was nominated by Hostos President Dr. Felix V. Matos
Rodriguez.
“Eugenio María de Hostos
Community College is ex-
February 14 - 20, 2013
tremely proud of Dr. Geraldine
M. Perri and, therefore, nominated her for the AACC’s 2013
Community College Outstanding Alumni Award,” Dr. Matos
Rodriguez said. “She earned her
associate’s degree in dental hygiene from Hostos and is now
the superintendent/president of
Citrus College in Los Angeles.
She is the first Hostos graduate
to achieve this distinction.”
Dr. Perri graduated from
Hostos Community College’s
Dental Hygiene program in
1979. Several years later, she
returned to Hostos as an adjunct
instructor and eventually went
on to serve as a full-time faculty member and associate dean
of Academic Affairs.
“It is extremely humbling to
be nominated for this award
because I attribute much of my
success to the community col-
lege system,” she says. “My
career was a progression from
dental hygiene graduate to faculty member to associate dean
to dean to vice president to
president to superintendent/
president--and it all started at a
community college.”
Dr. Perri left Hostos Community College to become the dean
of career education for
California’s Mt. San Jacinto
College. She also served as vice
president of instruction for San
Diego Mesa College and president of Cuyamaca College in
San Diego before coming to
Citrus College in 2008. She
holds a bachelor’s degree and
master’s degree from New York
University, as well as a second
master’s degree and a Ph.D.
from Fielding Graduate University.
“Dr. Perri has worked her
way through all of the positions
at a community college; from
student to faculty to administrator,” says Mrs. Susan M.
Keith, president of the Citrus
Community College District
Board of Trustees. “It is not
surprising that she has been
nominated for this prestigious
award. She is extremely dedicated to the work of community colleges and works tirelessly to see that students succeed.”
The AACC will soon announce their 2013 Outstanding
Alumni Award recipients, and
Dr. Perri says she is very honored to be among those being
considered for this recognition.
“The association represents
nearly 1,200 community colleges and more than 13 million
students. To simply be nominated as an Outstanding Alumni
is overwhelming,” she said. “I
strive, both personally and professionally, to improve conditions and situations for people.
This nomination inspires me to
continue working toward a
brighter future for everyone.”

ripped off. Pay only for what
you are getting. At Glendora
Florist, our customers are respected and loyal. They only pay
for our high quality flowers that
our professional and personal
shoppers hand pick from premium growers worldwide.
Valentine’s Day or not, you
shouldn’t be overcharged at the
expense of businesses.
If you’re going to order flowers for a woman, you better
make sure you know what she
likes. “Luckily all women like
flowers,”
said
Gareth
Tomlinson. And while you’re at
it, make it personal. A woman
will appreciate the thought regardless, but you should let her
know that she’s the only one on
your mind.
If it’s Valentine’s Day, it has
to be roses (unless she’s specified otherwise). Roses, as common as they are on Valentine’s
Day, signify love and unconscious beauty. Red roses are
usually given to someone you
want to show love and passion
towards, someone you have a
great respect for. Valentine’s
Day isn’t the day to go on a first
date; it is the day to remind that
special someone just how special he or she is
Don’t over do it. It’s one
thing to try and impress that
special someone, but don’t
show them every trick you have
up your sleeve. Next year, you
might need to up your game.
Don’t take yourself, or anyone else, for granted. Valentine’s
Day, as well as many other holidays, can stir up stress and
other feelings of negativity.
Stop, take a breather and remind yourself that you’re only
human.
We saved the best tip for last;
don’t forget. Nothing is worse
than showing up on Valentine’s
Day empty handed. However,
we do sometimes make mistakes and in the event that you
did forget, contact a local florist whom you trust immediately. You can reach Glendora
Florist at (626) 335-1943.

The League of Women Voters President Rosie Fabian,
emceed the event. The candidates had their opening and
closing statements with a number of questions addressed to
them. All of the candidates
The San Gabriel Valley
Examiner
seemed to do well with Councilman Gonzales showing his
experience as a present council
member.
There seemed to be accolades for the present council and
the direction of the city is going per the candidates. However,
they were indicating that there
is still an opportunity to continue
in that direction. The candidates
were respectful to each other
with no negativity expressed
during the forum questions.
The closing statements
started with Edward Alvarez
who praised the city and was
positive on bringing more businesses to the city.
Sandra Benavides read a prepared statement. She tried to put
out a lot of information in a
short period of time reading
very fast. She wanted to bring
trust back to the council and
seemed a little negative towards
the present council as a whole.
Jeri Vogel was also reading
from a prepared statement highlighted some of the things that
she would like to work on if
elected. She leaned towards the
youth and the schools.
Councilman Robert Gonzales
started out by thanking the
League of Women Voters and
gave thanks to the other candidates for expressing their interest in running for council. He
highlighted the fact that is not
"I" but "we" when talking about
the council and working together to get the job done.
Mercedes Castro commented
that "now" is an exciting time
for the city as the city is growing and bringing in new businesses. She kept her closing
statement short and sweet.
Mark Caro, thanked everyone
and read from a prepared statement. He felt that the city is
moving in the right direction and
that Azusa is the Champion of
the San Gabriel Valley.
The event was held in the
Azusa Auditorium where they
hold the council meetings and
the attendance was a little more
than half full of residents. The
candidates were hoping for a
full attendance at the forum.
Nevertheless, everyone who
attended felt that they got to
know all the candidates a little
better and what they stand for.
They were glad they attended
the forum.

Students Receive Scholarships
from Duarte Kiwanis Club
Local Community Colleges Make Their
Case Face-to-Face with Legislators
Representatives from San Gabriel/Foothill Association of Community Colleges meet with Legislators
to discuss budgets and support Governor’s initiatives
Mt. Olive Principal, Kevin Morris, Sarah Perez, Israel Torres and Duarte Kiwanis President, Tina
Carey.
DUARTE - It's great when a
plan comes together! Last
June, the Duarte Kiwanis Club
budgeted $3500.00 for scholarships for graduating seniors.
In January, they were able to
provide two more checks to
two deserving students. Israel
Torres and Sarah Perez are both
graduates of Mt. Olive High
School in Duarte. They got in
touch with Susan Huthmacher,
Secretary at Mt. Olive and pro-
vided their registration information (both are now students at
Citrus College). Susan was
persistent and as soon as the
Holidays were over scheduled
the check presentations with
Duarte Kiwanis President, Tina
Carey. Both students were able
to attend the Kiwanis meeting along with Principal Kevin Morris and the checks were presented. Seems a perfect opportunity for the Kiwanis Club -
since their motto is "changing
the world one child, and one
community at a time".
The Duarte Kiwanis Club has
lunch meetings the first, third
and fifth Tuesdays of the month
at Westminster Gardens. For

Children Learn And Grow
Through Art And Color
Here’s an idea that may color
how many children are raised:
Artistic expression is vital for
childhood growth, development
and overall well-being during the
early stages of life, according
to Dr. Karen Hill-Scott, Ed.D.,
a nationally recognized expert in
child care.
“The role of art in early childhood education is critical in
help- ing children develop necessary life skills and promote
basic problem solving and selfesteem,” she explained. “Exposure to art not only encourages
self-expression through the representation of an object on paper but also stimulates the development of abstract ideas and
concepts.”
Added parenting expert, licensed psychotherapist, author,
relationship expert and media
personality Stacy Kaiser, “Innovation in education comes in all
shapes and sizes.” Many families with young children are
finding that the size and shape
of an e-book is one of the best.
Education Through Art
In fact, a new series of ebooks and interactive i-books
called The Drip Drops has been
designed to do just that.
They have what Kaiser calls
“a unique ability to help young
kids learn on a variety of platforms, making their stories that
much more relevant to kids and
parents of today.”
The only preschool app and
e-book series that focuses on
art and color as well as reading
and overall creativity, it provides
children ages 2 through 6 with
the tools necessary to appreciate and investigate the world
around them.
Children can give form to their emotions, ideas and feelings through
art.
Simplistic in style but rich in
content, the charming cast of
characters takes kids on a wonderful journey to Tint Town,
where, with children’s help,
they bring color to a black-andwhite world.
Each character has a unique
personality and talent that kids
can identify with. They work
together in a community that’s
similar to most neighborhoods,
complete with a library, grocery
store, school, town hall, and
playground, but also a colormixing park and alphabet orchard.
Through a wide variety of
engaging visual arts activities,
children can examine alternative
solutions to problems using cre-
ative thinking, trial and error and
teamwork.
By encouraging self-expression and allowing children to
give form to their emotions,
ideas and feelings through art,
the series can be a valuable
teaching tool and provide a solid
foundation for future learning.

marketplace. Parents, teachers

SACRAMENTO - Last
week, 18 members of San
Gabriel/Foothill Association of
Community
Colleges
(SanFACC), including superintendent/presidents, select board
members and student representatives from Chaffey College,
Citrus College, Glendale Community College, Pasadena City
College and Rio Hondo College,
met with state elected officials
at the Capitol to shed light on
crucial issues facing local community colleges.
Led by Dr. Geraldine Perri,
Citrus College’s Superintendent/
President and chair of
SanFACC, the group met with
State Senators Ed Hernandez,
Bob Huff, and Carol Liu and
Assemblymember
Chris
Holden, as well as staff from
the
offices
of
Assemblymembers Mike Gatto,
Roger Hernandez and Norma
Torres.
“As Chair of SanFACC, I
know how important it is to effectively advocate for our local
community colleges to ensure
students of the San Gabriel Valley and Foothill communities
have a voice in Sacramento,”
said Dr. Perri. “Speaking directly with our elected officials,
we were able to express the
challenges that face our six
SanFACC institutions. Combined our college educate nearly
200,000 very diverse students
who are all looking to us to help
them successfully enter the
work force and find their
American Dream. Given everincreasing student fees, decreased course offerings and a
more competitive instructional
environment, we need to be
very clear about the vast needs
of our students and what it
means for our Legislators to
support the mission of California community colleges.”
SanFACC members advocated for the Governor’s proposed budget for 2012-13 and
for various measures that provide increased access for local
students. Additionally, members shared college success stories in meeting the recommendations of the Student Success
Initiative.
“Our student reps spoke passionately about the transformative impact community colleges
have on their lives,” Perri said.
“Students expressed their gratitude for the Governor’s Budget and increased access for
students. They were also very
excited about sharing stories
about their efforts in educating
other students on the importance of voting this past
November’s election and the
importance of Proposition 30.
Our students are active, passionate and understand fully
their impact on Legislators in
face-to-face meetings. They
were terrific.”
“It is important that the
SanFACC colleges are working
together and coming to Sacramento, along with their students, to talk with legislators
about issues impacting their
colleges,” said Senator Liu who
chairs the Senate Education
Committee. “We like to hear
about all the good things you are
doing too!”
SanFACC is a regional community college caucus comprised of the community college
districts located in the San
Gabriel Valley and Foothill communities, namely Chaffey College, Citrus College, Glendale
Community College, Mt. San
Antonio College, Pasadena City
College, and Rio Hondo College.
In the 2011/12 school year, the
six colleges enrolled 190,090
students and awarded 11,495
degrees and certificates.
The mission of SanFACC is
to establish and maintain good
communication between and
among the region’s community
colleges; to work together and
effectively represent our colleges regarding legislative matters; to increase our working
relationships with state agencies;
to facilitate regional partnerships; and to share information
and coordinate programs.
“This trip to the Capitol provides us with a chance to let our
leaders know how they can enact policies that build a stronger community college system,”
said Dr. Patricia Rasmussen,
Vice President of the Citrus
College Board of Trustees. “At
a time when more and more students are looking to community
colleges to launch them into
careers, we need the tools that
only the Legislature can provide
to be able to manage the high
enrollment numbers and provide
the critical services needed to
propel our students forward.”
Held in conjunction with
Community College League of
California, the annual legislative
day at the State capital provides
an opportunity for community
college leaders to receive an
update on the state budget and
hear potential policy changes
directly from legislators. Leaders from community colleges
across the state met with legislators at the Capital to advocate
for the system priorities and issues which are critical to the
success of their students.
E15 Fuel: More Harm Than Good?
by Robert L. Darbelnet, AAA
President & CEO
To keep more American motorists on the road to safety and
savings, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and gasoline retailers should suspend the
sale of E15 gasoline until more
is done to protect consumers
from the potential for costly
auto damage and voided warranties.
The Problem
Recent research raises serious concerns that E15, a fuel
blend consisting of 15 percent
ethanol and 85 percent gasoline,
could cause accelerated engine
wear and failure, fuel system
damage and other problems
such as false “check engine”
lights. This potential damage
could result in costly repairs for
unsuspecting consumers.
Nearly all the gasoline sold in
the United States today is E10,
which contains up to 10 percent ethanol, primarily produced
from corn. While AAA believes
ethanol-blended fuels can save
Americans money and reduce
the nation’s dependency on fossil fuels, sufficient evidence has
not been found to show E15 is
safe for most vehicles. In fact,
the Renewable Fuels Association warned retailers that some
underground storage tank systems exhibited reduced levels of
safety and performance when

Examiner
Only about 5 percent of light-duty vehicles are approved by manufacturers to use E15, a blend of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent
gasoline.
exposed to E15.
What’s
more,
many
automakers say they may void
warranties for anyone using
E15. That’s understandable,
since most cars were never designed for E15. Unless you
drive a Porsche or a brand-new
car, you could be out of luck
when it comes to E15-and you
might not even know you’re
using it. A recent survey by AAA
found an overwhelming 95 percent of consumers surveyed
have not even heard of E15.
Some Answers
Fortunately, there may be a
solution: The EPA, fuel producers and automakers can collectively develop a long-term plan
that promotes public education,
while implementing improved
labeling and warnings at the
pump.
Meanwhile, AAA urges consumers to carefully read pump
labels and follow the recommendations of manufacturers to
protect themselves from voided
warranties or potential damage.
E15 is not yet ready for public consumption and government regulators should suspend
sales until consumers are better informed and protected.

ARCADIA - It was a cool
sunny day in the Arcadia
County Park when the Santa
Anita bowlers held their Floy
Torvid tournament for February. Format was to play one 12
end game, have lunch and play
the second game for the final
count. Eight teams played for
the prize money but only three
came into the cash positions. In
first place were Dewey Tse and
Sandy Dalzell. They had two
wins and a plus point score of
+13. Second place went to Fan
Hung and Jim Miller with two
wins and a plus point score of
+11. Third place was Alan Ngo
and Bob Hauerwaas. They had
one win, one loss and a plus
point score of +9. Plus points
are the difference between your
scores and your opponents. For
example: You win your game by
a score of 12 to 6, and your second game ended up 10 to 8.
First game you would have +6
and the second game you would
have +2 plus points. Therefore
you would have a total of +8
plus points. These points can
determine your position in the
money positions.

We're always looking for new
lawn bowlers. We have only had
one new bowler join the club
this year. Here's a rundown of
the sport.
Lawn bowling is a low impact, light aerobic exercise. It's
easy on your joints and aids in
blood circulation and is one of
the best-kept secrets in the
sporting world. The Santa Anita
Bowling Green Club has been
around since 1937. We are always looking for people interested in learning the sport. It's
easy to learn and no one ever
really masters the game although
everyone tries to do their best.
That's all we ask is to have you
give it your best shot every
time. The more you play the
better you become and the more
fun you will have. If this sounds
like a sport you would like to
learn, go to our web site to get
more information. That address

If you still have questions or
want to set up a schedule to
learn the sport, give Gene
Plunkett a call at 626-351-5327
for information and setting up
a time for lessons to suit your
schedule.
See you on the greens!
hoping to make a buck by tricking us into buying counterfeit
goods and sometimes even dangerous prescription drugs.”
The best rule of thumb is: If
it seems too good to be true, it
probably is. “If a designer bag
is a fraction of the cost of what
it should be, you can bet it’s a
counterfeit,” explains Galvin.
“And buy prescription drugs or
any medicine only from reputable sites. Buying prescription
drugs without a prescription is
a recipe for disaster—when
those drugs are tested, far too
often they aren’t even the drugs
that were ordered.”
Staying cyber safe goes beyond steering clear of fakes,
however. If you’re offered
something free online, there’s
probably a catch. “Ever wonder why websites offer free
movies or TV shows? It might
be because when you stream or
download it, you’re also infecting your computer with harmful viruses and malicious software,” warns Garth Bruen, Security Fellow at Digital Citizens.
“Now that website has access
to your personal information
that’s worth a lot more than a
free movie.
“What consumers really need
to realize is that the websites
peddling counterfeits, bad drugs
or ‘free’ movies may all be controlled by the same criminal
group,” adds Bruen.
Just as you’d never knowingly walk down a dangerous
street, staying safe online
means avoiding websites that
pose dangers. Red flags include
offering you something free
and seeking personal information.
Safety can come from staying connected and communicating with people you trust. If you
have ever been a victim of an
online scam or duped with a
counterfeit good, you may join
the digital citizen community

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop Welcomed by
Glendora Chamber with Ribbon Cutting
GLENDORA - On February
5th, 2013 the Glendora Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony at
Capriotti's Sandwich Shop located at 1331 S Lone Hill Ave in
Glendora. The Ceremony was
to welcome them to Glendora
and to try out some of their
outstanding sandwiches.
In attendance were Field Representatives from Senator Carol
Liu, Congresswoman Judy Chu,
Congresswoman Grace F.
Napolitano and Supervisor
Antonovich's office along with
Glendora Mayor Pro Tem Joe
Santoro, Council members
Karen Davis and Judy Nelson,

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop
which was named after the
founder Lois Margolet's grandfather, Philip Capriotti, who
loved to cook for them started
in Wilmington, Delaware 1976.
Their concept was to capture
the hearts of "real turkey lovers," an idea that would separate Capriotti's Sandwich Shop
from almost all of its competition. They wanted to roast
whole fresh turkeys overnight,
a concept that no other sandwich shop in the area offered.
They began by cooking one turkey per night, but the demand
grew to the point where they
were cooking 10 to 12 turkeys
per night. They served sandwiches made-to-order with
fresh roasted pulled turkey, the
best quality meats and cheeses,
and fresh rolls and produce de-
livered daily. At the Glendora
store which opened up a little
over a month ago you will find
their famous turkey sandwich
The Bobbie and others.
