PASADENA — On a hot
summer afternoon fifteen members of Delta Nu Chapter of
Delta Kappa Gamma recently
traveled to Pasadena for lunch
at Mijares Restaurant and a tour
of the huge and wonderful
Wrigley Mansion also known as
the Tournament of Roses
House.
All the ladies enjoyed a wonderful buffet of Mexican foods
and music by mariachis in this
delightful restaurant. The Delta
Nu ladies had a chance to wander around the large arbor and
All-American rose garden before touring the Wrigley Mansion. An interesting film about
the history or the Rose Bowl
Parade, Game, queen selection,
grand marshals, and all the details that lead up to the Tournament of Roses was shown.
Then the group was taken on
an hour tour of 2 of the 3 stories of this interesting 18,500
square foot home. The house
was built for real estate and dry
goods tycoon George Simpson.
The House has 22 rooms which
feature over 2,400 square feet
of closet space. It was under
construction from 1906-1914.
Most of the Simpson children
had grown up and moved away
by the time it was completed.
.., so Mr. Simpson sold it to the
Wrigleys in 1914 for $170,000.
It is solidly constructed with
poured concrete. Much of the
woodwork in the interior is irreplaceable, crafted of woods
that are now extinct. Simpson
engaged an English gardener to
gather trees around the world
to plant on the property. The
front door to the mansion is
unique being 4 inches thick
solid wood and is extremely
heavy. It is beautifully carved.
In the early days of Pasadena, many Midwestern and
Eastern industrialists had second homes as a winter retreat.
This house was one of six
houses owned by William
Wrigley Jr., family of Wrigley
chewing gum fame. The
Wrigleys also owned houses in
Philadelphia, Chicago, Phoenix,
Lake Geneva (Wisconsin) and
at Avon on Catalina Island. Mrs.
Wrigley favored the Pasadena
house and spent most of her
time here after mr. Wrigley died
in 1932. After her death in 1958,
Home Owner Surprises Bear Inside Home
By George Ogden
San Dimas/Monrovia —
The California Bears have been
busy in neighborhoods along
the mountain areas where
homes are located in the San
Garbiel Valley.
On Wednesday, the Sheriff’s
Department along with animal
control officers responded to
the San Dimas area. Around
1:30 PM a 400 lb bear was spotted in the back yards of some
homes. In fact, the bear took a
dip in the pools and jumped
fences to visit other yards. A TV
News Helicopter was flying
overhead and getting shots for
television.
The bear, being spooked by
the attention and dogs, climbed
a tree.
The authorities decided to fire
not lethal rubber bullets and
bean bag rounds from their shot
guns. This got the bear down
from the tree but he seemed to
be just irritated that they shot
him in the rear. The bear acted
like these guys who were
shooting at him were being
nothing more then just “a pain
in the butt”.
The thing that got the bear
moving away from the homes
and back into the wilderness
was a low flying helicopter.
This seemed to chase the bear
away.
In Monrovia, another bear
Mary Ellen Gridley talks about her
encounter with a bear in her
home.
created a startling situation for
a resident. Mary Ellen Gridley
came home from an outing to
get ready for her rehearsal for
a USO production where she is
one of the lead singers for a
number of songs. Wanting to
relax a little before leaving again,
she enters her home to see a
number of things disturbed.
Thinking that her two cats were
responsible for the mess, she
was getting ready to look for
them and scold them. About
that time, she heard a crash in
the kitchen. “Now what did
they just do?” she thought, and
she went into the kitchen to confront her cats. Much to her surprise, she saw that her kitchen
was destroyed and as she went
in a little further, she came face
to face with a 200 lb brown
bear.
Gridley stated when she saw
the bear, she started screaming
and yelling and making a lot of
noise. This spooked the bear
and it headed for the big picture window. “He jumped
through the window screen on
the 2nd story. Walked on the
window box and jumped onto
a bench below.” Gridley said,
she went on and said she called
911, “911 asked if the bear was
hurt and I said I was not going
to go out and look.”
Gridley’s home is a multiple
level home with and entrance on
an upper level where the kitchen
and family rooms are. The bear
entered the home through a
window that was locked open
with only a small opening and
the bear squeezed through.
Her home was pretty messed
up with all the cabinets in the
kitchen that had food of any
sort, emptied by the bear all over
the counter and floor.
The bear also used the bathroom, drinking out of the toilet,
and yes, it did lift the seat according to Gridley.
The authorities do recommend that if you confront or are
confronted by a bear, making
yourself look bigger, screaming,
yelling and making a lot of noise
usually chases off the bear.
One other home in the area
was also broken into the same
day and the same bear is suspect in that break in.

2009 Teacher of the Year is
Paramount Elementary School
teacher Yvette Walker. In looking back over her 15 years as a
kindergarten teacher, she says
one of the biggest changes over
the years is how five year-olds
already know how to use a
computer.
As a kindergarten teacher,
she says children are so impressionable at that age and she loves
their eagerness to learn.
"It never ceases to amaze me
what a kindergarten student is
capable of learning. The challenge is keeping them focused
and on task," she added.

This Funny Human Race Heaven Can Wait
A2
S.G.V. EXAMINER
I've often wondered what
God had in mind when he was
fashioning the human race.
When we look about at each
other, it is incredible how unique
we are and yet the things we
each have in common. They
say that we have DNA matching those who are related to us.
But, in each family, we find such
variety in appearance, height,
build, disposition, temperament, attitude and talent. In my
own family of four, we had both
go getters and achievers as well
as passive individuals, who
seem to be on the side lines
watching the other's activities
without getting involved. Of
course, my thoughts had to be
arranged into a poem:
THE FUNNY HUMAN
RACE
God must have a sense of
humor,
Or He never would have made
man.
I wish I could have looked
over His shoulder,
To watch Him come up with
LINES FROM LORIE
By Lorie Pope Pauly
His plan:
"I'll give them hair on their
heads,
And maybe one or two other
places.
They'll walk upright on two
feet.
I'll put noses on their faces.
I'll make them several colors.
Their bodies will mostly be
skin.
Some of them will be fat and
bulgy,
Some will be decidedly thin.
Some will be loving and kind.
Some will be cranky and
crabby.
When they get old, they will
wrinkle.
Some will become saggy and
flabby.
Some will be obedient to
orders.
Some will be headstrong and
bratty.
Some will be shy and retiring.
Some will be noisy and
chatty."
It's obvious that God likes
variety.
He made each one quite
unique.
Some, He gave deep throated
voices.
Others high pitched with a
squeak.
Now, when He looks down
upon us,
Observes this whole funny
human race.
I think He probably chuckles,
With a warm, loving grin on
His Face.
My mom and dad have taken
to consuming foods that would
not be considered the healthiest. They tend to indulge in
cuisines most likely found on
Guy Fieri's "Diners Drive-ins
and Dives." I called my parents the other day and spoke to
my dad. I wanted to check in
on them and asked him about
their day. My dad complained
that their local Panda Express
had run out of Orange Chicken
so they were "forced" to eat
something else. I laughed out
loud and my dad was none too
amused at my reaction. With
all due respect to the highly successful, Panda Restaurant
Group Inc., this is really not on
my list of things about which
to get upset.
Anyway, I proceeded to advise my father of the optimum
nutritional guidelines and tried
to convince him that the "gods
of sustenance" were sending a
divine message that they ought
to make better choices. This is
Women’s Club of West Covina Summer Social
By George Ogden
West Covina — The
Women’s Club of West Covina
had it’s summer social with its
theme this year “Country Western”.
The event was held at Rainbow Lake in Azusa and at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Moch.
The country western band
“The Better Days Band” played
some great music where the
guests did some line dancing.
Marla Altman from the
Woman’s Club joined the band
to sing a number of songs.
There was plenty of great
food with the Summer Chuck
Wagon Dinner with some great
friends. Dorothy Chervy who
was still recovering from a broken hip, was wanting to get out
there with the dancers, but
thought better of it. She was
delighted with the event and the
music.
when he summarily countered
with…."look, I'm 82 years old,
if I want fried foods, I'm gonna
have fried foods."
Okay, I thought to myself, he
has a point. After 82 years of
behaving oneself, one should be
able to opt for choices at which
Jack LaLane would grimace.
Not my problem, I posited, and
forgot about it until…. a non
weight-maintaining food passed
my way. (I'm not even going to
mention the food. You can
email me if you really want to
know). I found myself saying,
"Hey, I went to the gym today/
I've been good today/I've had a
rough week/I deserve it…" You
get the picture. Self talk continued, "If I want to have X,
then I'm going to have X."
I then stopped myself. Intelligence prevailing and perhaps
a little guilt I thought, "wait a

Irwindale Educational Foundation
Provides 39 Scholarships!
The Irwindale Educational
Foundation held its 10th Annual
BBQ Fundraiser on the spacious
grounds of MillerCoors on July
17, 2009. Approximately 300
people attended this worthwhile
fundraiser. The crowd enjoyed
good food and good company.
The delicious dinner was catered by Picasso’s Café, Bakery and Catering. Beverage
sponsors were MillerCoors, Arrowhead Water, Diaz Liquor,
Camille Diaz, Allstate Insurance
(R. Leyba) and Starbucks Coffee-Duarte. Past scholarship recipient, Hannah Fraijo, spoke
about how the Foundation has
helped her attain her educational
goals.
There were wonderful raffle
gifts, all donated by various organizations and persons. In
addition, cash prizes in the
amounts of $250, $500 and
$5,000 were given. All this fun
supported a very worthy cause
– helping deserving students
fund their continuing education.
The net proceeds of the event
along with other generous donations were used to award
thirty-nine students $40,000 in
scholarships for the 2009-2010
academic year.
This event could not have
been possible without the generous support of our sponsors,
contributors, attendees and volunteers. For the past ten years,
MillerCoors has provided the
beautiful site, contributed the
beer and has been a platinum
sponsor! Special thanks to
Vulcan Materials and Superior
Communications who were also
platinum sponsors. Gold sponsor was United Rock Products,
and Silver sponsors were Athens Services and City of Hope.

Body & Towing, and Southern
California Edison for their donations to the Foundation during the year. A steadfast supporter of the Foundation, Terry
Noriega, of Mariposa Landscapes, donated to the event
after challenging the committee
to conclude the evening’s festivities by 9:00 pm sharp – the
event ran six minutes past, but
Terry generously donated to the
Foundation anyway!
Many thanks also go to Explorer Post 496 from the

Family Tradition Lives On
Exhibit by Painter Loraine Lindstrom Opens August 22
GLENDORA — Walk into
Loraine Lindstrom's Glendora
home and you walk into a gallery.
Almost every wall is graced
by one of her paintings - stirring prairie landscapes, a peaceful California mission scene,
bright and delicate florals - in
either watercolor or oil. As you
follow Lindstrom during an informal tour, you wonder why
she hasn't exhibited her work
for the world to see.
That all changes Saturday,
August 22 when Black Box
Books presents an exhibit of
Lindstrom's paintings at Village
Book Shop in Glendora, kicking off with the artist's reception at 7:30 p.m. The reception
and the exhibit, which continues through Sept. 25, are free.
Lindstrom is a second-generation artist as are many of her
eight brothers and sisters. Their
father Oliver Parson, 92,
founded and eventually chaired
the art department at Ricks College in Idaho (now Brigham
Young University-Idaho). He
showed his family that "art was
the way we lived," Lindstrom
recalled. Her brother Leon is
now chair of the department his
father started.
"We planned everything
around art trips to shows," she
continued, that included competing in the state fair, where
family members regularly won
ARCADIA — On Tuesday,
August 25th, the City of Arcadia
and Santa Anita Park will be
present to you Bolt! Bolt is a
2008 computer-animated comedy film produced by Walt
Disney Studios and is rated PG.
Bolt tells the story of an American White Shepherd dog that
has lived his whole life on the
set of his action TV show,
where he believes he has superpowers. When he thinks that
his human, Penny, has been kidnapped, he sets out on a crosscountry journey to "rescue" her.
Along the way, he meets a
cranky female alley cat named
Mittens and an overweight hamster named Rhino in a plastic
ball. He then learns that he
doesn't have superpowers at all
and that the show is not real!
This movie is full of adventure
and excitement! It will be
shown at 8:00pm in the Outdoor
Amphitheatre at Arcadia Public
Library (20 West Duarte Road).
The kids will love it while you
enjoy the cool breeze after the
sunset, and best of all: this event
is completely free! Come join
us and bring your lawn chairs,
blankets and dinner. No registration required. For more information, please contact the
City of Arcadia Recreation and
Community Services Department at 626.574.5113.

first and second place ribbons.
"My father was extremely
prolific," she explained as she
shows a wintry forest landscape by her father. "There is a
lot of drama, emotion in his
work, very impressionistic." It's
clear she treasures her father's
paintings as any child would,
but also the rich legacy he's
passed onto her, which she
shows in her own abundant
collection.
Not only was her father prolific, but his family continues the
rich art tradition to the extent
that works by three generations
of his family were showcased
in "A Parson Family Portrait "
in 2008 at the Art Museum of
Eastern Idaho,
Though Lindstrom is more
realistic in her approach, the
same rich colors, drama and
emotion are evident in her
work, which visitors to the Village Book Shop exhibit will experience.

Race for the Cure has grown
exponentially each year with
thousands of Race participants
helping us all become one step
closer to living in a world without breast cancer," explains
Catherine Mullally, Executive
Director, Los Angeles County
Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for
the Cure®. "Breast cancer
knows no boundary - be it age,
gender, socio-economic status
or geographic location. This
year we made the decision to
move our 2010 Race for the
Cure to Dodger Stadium to
make it the most successful
fundraiser to date by reaching
even larger and more diverse
audiences in the heart of Los
Angeles."
The Susan G. Komen Race
for the Cure® Series raises significant funds and awareness for
the fight against breast cancer,
celebrating breast cancer survivorship and honoring those
who have lost their battle with
the disease. With funds raised
by the Race for the Cure® Series, Komen with its Affiliate
Network is able to fund breast
cancer research grants, meritorious awards and educational,
scientific and community outreach programs around the
world.
"We are pleased to welcome
the Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County Race for the Cure
to Dodger Stadium in 2010,"
said Jamie McCourt, the Chief
Executive Officer of the Dodgers and Board Member of
ThinkCure!, which accelerates
collaborative research to cure
cancer.
