Freedom Is Not Free

Dorothy's Place

By Dorothy Denne The words "Freedom is not free" speak to the heart of what America has stood for. Tomorrow is the day to remember our nation's veterans --- those who fought and are still fighting for our country's

freedoms.

I feel there is nothing I can write better than the following which was written several years ago by a clergyman who was also a member of the U.S. Marine Corps. Ann Landers printed it a couple of times and I have printed it before also. It still bears repeating. Veterans Day

by Father Denis Edward O'Brien, USMC It is the soldier, not the reporter,

Who has given freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.

Shakespeare Film Largely Fictional but Intoxicating Nonetheless Film Review By Michael James Gonzalez It is indeed the winter of discontent for many academics and historians of British literature. Roland Emmerich, who has directed blockbusters like “Independence Day” and “Day After Tomorrow” presents us with an alternative view on who William Shakespeare was and whether he ever wrote one word of his famous plays in the new film “Anonymous,” starring an all-star cast that includes Vanessa Redgrave as Queen Elizabeth, Rhys Ifans in an elegant performance as aristocrat Edward de Vere, and Rafe Spall as Shakespeare.

The question as to who actually wrote Shakespeare’s plays has been the subject of controversy for over two centuries, pinning Stratfordians (Shakespeare’s home, Stratford upon Avon) against anyone and everyone who doubt his authorship. Skeptics have argued mainly that Shakespeare’s limited education could not have allowed him to write so intimately about the international settings, ar-

istocracy, or royal courts that figure so prominently in all of the plays. The film too is an overtly skewed version of this argument, but where it fails in historical accuracy and in its limited scope, it thrives in rich set designs, vivid and surprisingly realistic CGI landscapes of Elizabethan London, beautiful costumes, and, of course, those words, words, words, brilliantly written by screenwriter John Orloff. It is the twilight of Queen Elizabeth’s reign (1558-1603), and political and military turmoil are near a fever pitch between the Cecil family and the Tudors.

It seems that only the theatre—the most popular form of entertainment and thus propaganda—can sway the hearts and minds of both the impoverished mob and the nobility toward a proper successor to Elizabeth. Enter de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, playwright, and courtier to the queen. Recognizing the political power of theatre, de Vere begins to secretly write

plays—Henry V and Richard III among them—that implicitly ridicule Robert Cecil, de Vere’s brother-in-law and one of many heirs to the throne, in hopes that they might inspire the masses to revolt in favor of the Earl of Essex, who is an illegitimate son of the queen and of pure Tudor lineage. But since writing as an art form is looked upon as heresy by many in the royal court, de Vere asks Ben Johnson to take credit— a prominent playwright far removed from the court.

When Johnson, however, inadvertently gives a dimwitted commoner and actor named Shakespeare the chance to take credit for de Vere’s plays, Shakespeare takes full advantage of the opportunity and quickly achieves legendary status among all the classes, while the plays themselves spark betrayals, acts of vengeance, and reversals of fortune within the royal court of proportions that are…well, Shakespearean.

Brad Healy Victor Buell

It snuck right up on me.

It wasn’t anything dramatic, no trips to Europe. It didn’t happen overnight either. It was $20 here, $30, there. But before I knew it, it had gotten away from me and I had a surprising huge credit card debt.

When the bills arrived, so did this gigantic white elephant sitting in the room wearing a new outfit with matching shoes, she just had to have, talking on a new iPhone. But the time had come she had to go. It was then that my husband cautiously mentioned that maybe I should get a job. A job?! Job JOB JOB J!O!B! I couldn’t seem to wrap my mind around it. It wasn’t that I was opposed to working. I had worked for years.

Which explains why I’m so bitter. I’ve developed a certain lifestyle I’ve grown to enjoy. Alas, he was right, it was time for the hunt.

Then, while shopping in my favorite store there was a sign from heaven, “Now Hiring”. Perfect. I know the merchandise first hand. But

it’s all different now; You apply for a job online. Not in person.

Back home I sat in front of my computer (bought on credit) and began the arduous process of answering a series of 100 nebulous, “what would you do” questions with answers ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. I sent it off and waited to hear back. Days went by and nothing, so I went to the store to talk to the manager in person. I didn’t want to look desperate so I bought a pair of pants. She wasn’t there that day. I went back the next and bought the matching sweater. This job hunting was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. It was then that the store manager told me I had failed the test. How was that possible? I strongly agreed with turning in a co-worker for stealing and would greet everyone with a smile.

“I hate to be rude, but look around, you can’t tell me all these people passed the test?”

When it came down to

it, they did and knowing the merchandise wasn’t enough.

I failed more store online application tests. I was becoming the poster woman for There but for the grace of God go I. I thought about Auntie Mame when she needed a job after she lost her fortune in the crash of ‘29. Oh how I needed a little Christmas, right this very minute. And with that I got a job in a department store.

Joy turned to panic because my training was spent in a broom closet in front of a computer. “I’m sorry but do you have a human I can talk to? A real one, not a simulated 3D version.” They offered me a credit card and a discount. Great, that’s how I got in this mess.

The cash register and I still have issues. So I ask while you are shopping this holiday season be patient with your sales associate, she’s trying her best.

If I’m lucky enough to keep this job through the holidays it will be a Miracle on Huntington Drive!

Weinstocks Feats of Strength Competition in Sierra Madre’s Sports Central is a Winner for those who competed … as young as 6 and as old as 82!

Bill and Connie Weinstock create a winner in Feats of Strength Competition in Sierra Madre for all ages. -Courtesy Photo.

By Harry Sneider Engineer, world champion powerlifter, and Feats of Strength champion Bill Weinstock has created a competition for all ages! In his vast backyard in Sierra Madre he has developed a fitness challenge unlike any in this community. There are challenges in the pullup, the standing long jump, the rope climb, sandbag wheelbarrow races, farmers carry, and other activities.

There are amazing competitors in the San Gabriel Valley in the Feats of Strength. A good example is Sanford Werner, at 82 he has done 11 perfect chinups as well as climb a 20 ft. rope in less than 6 seconds! Another competitor that deserves recognition is Bonnie Burrow; at age 60 she has done the seated 10 ft rope climb using her arms only in less than 4 seconds. Bill Weinstock, who is an all around athlete, has done 14 perfect chinups at age 65.

There are other competitors who are accomplished as well.

You may be thinking to yourself – is this for me?

It is a competition for more advanced fitness athletes that are used to working to their maximum. If you’re the type of person that likes to find out where you stand in the areas of the long jump, the pullup, the rope climb, the dynamometer, and more -- this competition is for you.

In the last competition that Bill held recently in October there were children and teenagers doing some of the Feats of Strength and actually going for world records in some of the events.

Bill Weinstock wants to encourage people of all ages to stay healthy and well. He sees a need for our community to stay in shape by doing weight training, conditioning work as well as some of the challenging Feats of Strength which will be a part of the Pasadena Senior Games in June 2012. Bill will have competitions in Sierra Madre’s Sports Central throughout the year for all ages. Certificates as well as world record certifications will be listed in Feats of Strength International publications.

Other prizes are given to the winners. You may contact Bill at 626-355-8815 or billw3941@gmail.com.

Harry and Sarah Sneider have competed in powerlifting competitions with Bill Weinstock. Harry at age 64 bench pressed 432.5 lbs in the Senior Olympics Powerlifting competition.

Sarah, last year won the Feats of Strength competition in the Senior Games for her age division. Those who are interested in more details about these competitions and training for them can contact Harry Sneider at 626-355-8964 or harrysneider@earthlink.net.

Monrovia is the most business friendly city in Los Angeles County, according to an award given by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) on Thursday.

The 2011 “Most Business Friendly City Award” in the category of cities with a population of 60,000 and less was presented to Monrovia Mayor Mary Ann Lutz and Mayor Pro Tem Joe Garcia by LAEDC officials at the 16th annual Eddy Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Thursday night.

coveted by every city that displays leadership in economic development, and it is a testimonial to our commitment towards attracting and retaining businesses which provide quality jobs for our residents,” said Mayor Pro Tem Joe Garcia. “Along with the finalists from Commerce, Gardena, La Mirada and Duarte, we are in exceptional company and after being finalists previously in 2008 and 2010, the third time truly is a charm.”

Inaugurated in 1996, the Eddy Awards gala has become one of the most important economic development award programs in the state of California, and is attended by more than 600 of the region’s business, government and education leaders.

In 2006, the LAEDC created the Most Business-Friendly City in Los Angeles County award category to recognize cities within the County that are proactively promoting business-friendly programs and services in the interest of attracting and retaining good quality jobs for their residents.

The winners were selected based on the following criteria: Demonstrated commitment to economic development as a priority Excellence in programs and services designed to facilitate business entry, expansion, and retention Economic development activity over the past three years Competitive business tax rates and fee structures Availability of economic incentives

Among the economic development activities in Monrovia that impressed LAEDC officials included the city’s ongoing efforts to attract and retain businesses, the City’s diverse portfolio of businesses ranging from nationally known technology firms to “mom and pop” shops in Old Town and the array of services and incentives for businesses.

Monrovia offers financial relocation assistance, lease/tenant subsidies, broker bounties, the Old Town business development assistance and facade improvement programs, two redevelopment project areas, no utility user tax assessment and regionally low city fees.

Monrovia was a finalist in 2008 and 2010.

In addition to Monrovia, West Covina won the “Most Business Friendly City” award for in the category of cities with populations of more than 60,000.

“We are delighted to recognize the cities of Monrovia and West Covina with this year’s Eddy Award,” said Bill Allen, LAEDC President and CEO. “Both cities stand out as model communities in Los Angeles County by proactively engaging and working with businesses and the private sector to create jobs for their residents. Each year, this competition reveals that more and more cities in the county are proactively implementing strategies that are in alignment with L.A. County’s first-ever Strategic Plan for Economic Development that will ensure a strong, diverse and sustainable economy for L.A. County.”

Arcadia Educational Foundation Celebrates 30th Anniversary On Friday, October 28th, the Arcadia Educational Foundation held a small reception to celebrate its thirtieth anniversary. In attendance were many current and past trustees, as well as guests, staff, and a number of Past Presidents of the foundation, including Bob Harbicht (City Council Member), Jan McEachern, Jim Eberhardt, Doug Failing, Pat Gibson and Bill Klipstein. Mayor Gary Kovacic presented a proclamation declaring it “Arcadia Edu-

cational Foundation Day”.

Arcadia Educational Foundation was founded in 1981 by a group of concerned community members who saw the needs of the Arcadia Unified School District and were looking for a way to support the District.

Arcadia Educational Foundation is operated by community volunteers in order to provide funding to enhance AUSD programs. AEF works in partnership with AUSD to identify high value fund-

ing opportunities in need of support and provides funding directly to the District to support these activities. AEF runs the annual summer school program and recently raised over $840,000 to help prevent layoffs due to budget cuts.

For more information on the Arcadia Educational Foundation and opportunities to help, please contact the AEF office at (626) 447-2165 or arcadiaeducationalfoundation@ gmail.com.

Everything Coming Up Roses for Girl Scouts 100th Anniversary Local council unveils Rose Parade® Float entry; Current, former, friends of Girl Scouts invited to “ride.”

Today marks the birthday of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low, an inspiring woman who encouraged girls from all backgrounds to grow in education, skills and selfreliance. In celebrating her birthday, we also celebrate in the year 2012 the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts.

To commemorate this milestone the local council Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles (GSGLA) will start off the centennial year with a float entry in the upcoming Pasadena Tournament of Roses® Parade on January 2, 2012, with the hope that every flower on the float honors a Girl Scout, a former Girl Scout or a Girl Scout supporter. Details of the float and flower campaign are at www.girlscoutsla.org.

The float’s design captures 100 years of Girl Scouting by showcasing the organization’s history and its future with elements of the unlimited opportunities and experiences it has provided to girls for a century. Enveloped by yellow roses, signifying the friendships made in Girl Scouting, the float’s theme of “What Will You Do Today?” echoes the iconic non-profit’s cam-

paign of challenging girls to imagine the possibilities through Girl Scouting.

“For 100 years, Girl Scouts has inspired girls with the ideals of courage, confidence and character and encouraged them to make the world a better place,” said Lise L. Luttgens, Chief Executive Officer of the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles. “In celebration of 100 years of Girl Scouting, this spectacular floral tribute looks back to the beginning and forward to the future of the largest girl-serving organization in the world.”

The float was conceptualized by area Girl Scouts, designed by local Girl Scout mother-daughter team Renee Hoss-Johnson and Brianne Johnson, and will be decorated by a legion of Girl Scouts. Featured riders will include Girl Scouts from each age level and Girl Scouts Alumnae who are community and business leaders.

Furthermore, along with the generous support of float sponsor Union Bank, the float is being funded

by Girl Scouts and Girl Scout supporters – making this massive undertaking a bona fide all-Girl Scout service project.

With the hope that every flower on the float represents a Girl Scout or friend of Girl Scouting, GSGLA is offering “virtual rides” to Girl Scouts young and old and Girl Scout friends and family for a tax-deductible donation of $5 each. The nominal gift serves as a float flower dedication that will ride aboard the Girl Scout float.

For each donation, a name will be “placed” on the float, giving the honoree a virtual ride in the Rose Parade. Float flower dedications have already been made in honor of current or former Girl Scouts; Girl Scout moms, dads, and grandparents; Troop Leaders; Girl Scout Gold Award recipients; Girl Scout volunteers; and friends of the Girl Scouts. Several troops are out in the community talking about the float and garner up support.

Dedication donations can be made at www. girlscoutsla.org. The website also has information on joining, reconnecting and other 100th Anniversary celebrations. Alerts are happening on the GSGLA Facebook page, too at www.facebook.com/GSGLA.

Dr. Drew Pinksy and Family among those Honored at Event For Hillsides, a foster care charity serving children and families living in Los Angeles County, including Pasadena, volunteers continue to support the charity through time, talent, and treasure.

At its first annual Circle of Excellence Dinner, Hillsides honored its donors and celebrated volunteers who have exceeded the agency’s expectations and contributed so much of their resources to ensure that the mission of creating safe places continues for vulnerable children and families.

“The work we do to serve the most vulnerable in our community could not be done without the generous support from our donors and volunteers who selflessly commit to Hillsides mission,” said Joseph Costa, the charity’s chief executive officer. “I am truly honored to be among Hillsides family who demonstrate loyalty, dedication, and genuine love for what we do to help our children and families.”

The dinner event, a merger of the annual Rainbow Society and Legacy Society Recognition Dinner and Angel Awards Ceremony, was hosted at Pandora on Green. More than 200 guests came together to pay tribute to major donors and volunteers.

Receiving the Hillsides Lifetime Achievement Award was Bob Fisher, who has chosen Hillsides Volunteer Network to be the beneficiary of the Ice House’s anniversary show since 1988. All net proceeds for the evening benefit the children of Hillsides. Fisher has hosted several “Afternoon at the Ice House” for all the children living at Hillsides. The children enjoy a special performance and lunch.

In 2005, the Hillsides auditorium stage was named “The Bob Fisher Stage” for his contribution to Hillsides children.

In addition, Barbara Robison was named the recipient of the charity’s Lifetime Achievement in Volunteer Service. “Desiring to help children who had experienced many problems in their young lives is the reason why I’ve been involved with Hillsides,” said Robison.

Her volunteer experience has given her firsthand knowledge on how one person, one organization, one church and one mission can improve the lives of so many children and families. Robison has taken on various leadership positions on the Hillsides Guild and as a board member for Hillsides and Hillsides Education Center. Through her participation with Church of the Angels, Robison has served as liaison with the neighboring charity. Besides her leadership and individual giving, Robison has inspired many others to lend their time and talents.

Debbe and Spike Booth received the Hillsides Community Angel Award. Since 2003, Booth has been involved with Hillsides, serving as the chair on the board of directors and in many other leadership roles. Together with her husband, they are committed to serving the community in which they live. Their commitment is multi-layered. From believing in what the charity does and how it does it, they understand the difference every little bit makes to the clients.

Not only do they believe in the charity’s mission, the Booths are also committed to other outstanding institutions in Los Angeles such as Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Children’s Institute, Polytechnic School, Garden School Foundation, Higher Ground for Military Veterans, Living with Wolves, and the Diggers Garden Club.

Receiving the Hill-

sides Angel Award was Dr. Drew Pinsky, Susan Pinsky and their family. This award was truly a family affair. Longtime supporters of the Hillsides Annual Benefit, Dr. Drew has even stepped in to serve as emcee and auctioneer when needed. He has also donated his operatic talent and expertise for several live auction packages. Dr. Drew continues his involvement as the honorary chair for Hillsides Foster Soles, an annual celebrity shoe auction. Pinsky serves on Hillsides board and is on the charity’s Foster Soles committee.

Their triplets have also been involved in the charity, teaching piano and ice skating lessons to Hillsides residents. Through Polytechnic School’s Girls Service League, the Pinsky children helped raise more than $13,000, while also hosting a day of dance for all kids at Hillsides.

In addition, Dr. Drew designated Hillsides as one of his key charities to get a percentage of RXLocker point of purchase sales and his winnings from “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?.” The Pinsky family has truly embraced Hillsides Mission.

Other volunteers also received Hillsides Special Recognition Awards were: Tiffany Chelsvig of Green Dot Corporation, Cheryl Meyer, Phyllis Parker, Foothills Middle School H.E.L.P. Service Club, Greg Mullin, Dr. Tassinari, and Nurit Kotick.

As a Pasadena foster care charity founded in 1913, Hillsides creates safe places for vulnerable children and families by providing community-based family services, residential treatment, mental health services, special education, transitional housing and living programs, and advocacy.

Pasadena Community Urgent Care Celebrates First Anniversary Pasadena Community Urgent Care has celebrated its first anniversary with anticipation of surpassing 20,000 patient visits by the end of the year.

Created through a unique collaboration among four community partners, the center opened in October 2010 to provide a sensible alternative to crowded hospital emergency departments for those times when people can’t wait for a doctor’s appointment but the healthcare need isn’t life threatening.

“We have been thrilled with the reception we’ve received from local residents as well as from local businesses who have appreciated our convenient hours, cost-savings and attentive staff,” said Wendy Karsten, chief executive officer of Huntington Medical Foundation whose physicians staff PCUC. “As we head into our second year, we will continue to look for new and even better ways to be a trusted resource in the

community.”

PCUC includes 11 examination rooms, procedure rooms, testing laboratories and mobile X-ray equipment. Karsten says that it is a perfect place to go for broken bones, cold and flu symptoms, cuts, sprains, sports-related injuries, and high fever. The center also provides drug testing, travel vaccines, exotic vaccines, sport and DMV physicals, and hearing and vision testing.

PCUC is currently providing flu vaccine in child dose, adult dose (both regular injection and the new “intradermal,” which utilizes the smallest needle delivery system possible) and high dose for seniors.

In support of the local business community, PCUC provides immediate care for on-the-job injuries as well as an array of employee health services such as pre-employment physicals, drug screenings and more. Other employee health services offered at the center include respi-

ratory fit testing, lift evaluations, vision and hearing test services, post-accident care, and breath alcohol testing as well as X-ray and lab services.

PCUC also offers InstyMeds, a consumerfriendly medicationdispensing system that provides patients with convenience and cost savings. The prescription vending machine, located in the centers’ lobby, allows patients to receive the most commonly prescribed prescriptions right on the spot, thus avoiding the hassle of needing to go to a pharmacy following their care at the center. InstyMeds accepts all major insurance plans.

Over its first year PCUC has seen nearly 18,000 patient visits with the number continuing to rise. In addition to providing on-the-spot care, Karsten says that the center has helped identify patients with chronic illnesses who do not have a primary care physician

and has made the proper referrals to assure that these individuals receive the ongoing care they need. “Along the way we have also continued to add medical groups and insurance plans to our network so as to make the center as accessible as possible to our community,” Karsten adds.

Pasadena Community Urgent Care is a unique collaboration among the city of Pasadena, Huntington Medical Foundation, Community Health Alliance of Pasadena and Huntington Memorial Hospital. The center is located at 3160 East Del Mar Blvd. and is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. For urgently needed care, appointments are not necessary; however, appointments are required for employment physicals and screenings. For more information call 626-2702400, or visit HMFUrgentCare.com.

Mr. Nasser and Mrs. Ulrike Zomorod, the parents of Layla, are also residents of Arcadia. They tell the Pasadena Star News that they encouraged their daughter to “give back” to the world to show appreciation for the many opportunities that have come her way throughout her life.

Layla graduated Gold Seal from Arcadia High School in 2011.

Layla says she credits her parents and her church community for encouraging her to attempt what she calls “citizen-to-citizen diplomacy in another country.” She says, “I want to represent my family, my community, and my friends of faith. I know that I have to be the agent of change to bring about peace in our world. As Gandhi powerfully expressed: ‘Become the change you want to see in the world.’ I know that by going to St. Lucia, I am making a change. With this attitude, I hope to inspire other youth to go out and do the same. Father and Mother Moon have taught me that God blessed the American people so that they could go out and serve the people of the world. That’s why I am here. I want to see peace on earth, but I know that peace begins with me.”

Even the rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the exceptional women being honored by the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) for their leadership as past presidents of this organization founded in 1948. The event was part of PSHA’s October General Meeting held at Walt Disney Concert Hall on October 5, 2011.

Of the 62 past presidents, 23 were in attendance to be honored for their part in creating and carrying on the traditions of PSHA. Although unable to attend, past president, Mireya Jones 198182, stated, “It took a grand group of ladies to build this group and project and I am proud to be one of them.” Current president, Beverly Marksbury echoed this sentiment, “and grand they are! These incredible women have given so much of their time and effort to this organization and made it what it is today.”

Those honored at the meeting were: Rary Simmons 1971-72, Weta Mathies 1975-76, Ginny Cushman 1976-77, Charlene Liebau 1977-78, Patty Simpson 1979-80, Molly Siefert 1982-83, Paddy Grant 1984-85, Linda Cantwell 1985-86, Susi McConaghy 1989-90, Brenda Owen 1990-91, Linda Seiter 1992-93, Betty Rossiter 1994-95, Mona Mapel 1996-97, Fran Biles 199798, Kay Quinn 1998-99, Suzanne Sposato 2001-02, Vicki McCluggage 2003-

04, Doris Christy 2004-05, Jennifer Johnson 2006-07, Gretchen McNally 200708, Joy Sullivan 2008-09, Denise Menik 2009-10, and Marti Farley 2010-11. At the conclusion of the ceremony, each president was presented with a beautiful long-stemmed red rose.

According to current president, Beverly Marksbury, “we have a very rich history and these women were at the forefront of the enrichments to our organization. When I joined PSHA in 1993, we had cumulatively given the Los Angeles Philharmonic $3 million and we were an Affiliate, known as the Pasadena Junior Philharmonic Committee (PJPC). As an Affiliate, we were required to give 85% of our proceeds to the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The Walt Disney Concert Hall was under construction in the 1990’s. In 1998, a $1 million pledge was made by PJPC to the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association to build the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The LA Phil was in transition and in 2000, PSHA decided to become an independent nonprofit organization known as the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts whose mission is to support and further the work of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association as well as local public symphonic, cultural and educational programs for all ages. In 1990, PJPC had initiated a Community Grants program and $10,000 was given to lo-

cal non-profits meeting the mission of PJPC. Our first Gifts and Grants program as PSHA began in 20012002 with funding in the amount of $200,100. From the proceeds of the 2010 Pasadena Showcase House of Design, last year we were able to give away $750,000 in Gifts and Grants for a cumulative total of $18 million. This is remarkable for an organization with all volunteers. We have come a long way in providing support for the arts in our community!”

About the pasadena showcase house for the arts: An all-volunteer organization, Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) is a non-profit California Corporation whose members donate their time and talents to produce the annual Pasadena Showcase House of Design. Founded in 1948, and formerly known as The Pasadena Junior Philharmonic Committee, PSHA adopted the Pasadena Showcase House of Design as its annual benefit in 1965. It is one of the oldest, largest and most successful house and garden tours in the nation.

PSHA volunteers are united by their belief in the power and beauty of music. Their collective desire is to fund programs that nurture the study and appreciation of music, utilize music as a vehicle towards health and healing, and ensure that music is available to a broad range of audiences.

Temple City to Hold Workshops on Traffic Calming and Downtown Parking

American Plus Bank N.A.

Workshops are set for November 10 and 17

5-Star Bank

The City of Temple City wants to hear your ideas to create safer streets and improve downtown parking.

Two workshops are scheduled: Thursday, November 10, 7 to 9 p.m.

Thursday, November 17, 6 to 8 p.m.

Both workshops will be held at the Temple City Historical Society Hall, 9704 Woodruff Ave. Chinese translation and free child care will be provided.

The November 10 workshop will address resident concerns about traffic safety and speeding in residential neighborhoods.

Input gathered from the meeting will identify ways to reduce speeding, mostly through traffic calming devices at various locations citywide.

Such devices include traffic circles, speed humps, intersection pop outs and re-striping. The identified

recommendations will culminate in a traffic calming master plan by March, providing the city a funding vehicle to pursue the improvements.

“The city has an aggressive and successful approach for securing grant funds,” said Temple City Mayor Tom Chavez. “The improvements identified in the master plan will allow us to confidently pursue millions in grant funds for street safety improvements, which could be funded and realized starting next year.”

The city, over the past year and a half, has captured nearly $6 million in competitive grant funds.

In the case for downtown parking, the November 17 workshop will address current parking demands and restrictions. “New restaurants and businesses are coming to Las Tunas (downtown), and we (the City Council) want to make sure

that parking meets demand while fostering (economic) vitality,” said Chavez.

The downtown area, or Las Tunas corridor, currently has 373 businesses and 2,191 public parking stalls.

Input received from the workshop will result in a downtown parking master plan that recommends immediate to longer-term priorities. Possible solutions could include updated parking and time restrictions, new parking lots or a parking structure, shared parking arrangements between businesses, and the creation of a downtown shuttle.

The city will address the recommendations once the plan is completed in April.

“These workshops are not merely planning exercises,” said Chavez. “They’re marching orders for what the city will do to improve neighborhood safety and foster a vibrant downtown.”

Karen Sutherland Named Monrovian of the Year

By Susan Motander The Monrovia Chamber of Commerce has announced the names of the individuals to be honored at this year’s Installation Dinner. Every year as the chamber installed its new officers, it also honors three individuals for their service to the community. The highest honor is the Iris Award: named for the city’s official flower, it is. in essence the Citizen of the Year Honor.

This year that honor goes to Karen Sutherland.

The other two awards are the Monroe Award and the Dick Lord Award. This year the Dick Lord Award which is presented to an individual for outstanding service to the community is being presented o Gloria Huss of Monrovia Floral.

Rutilio (does anyone call Rudy that?) Castrellon of Rudy's Mexican Food has been named as the recipient of the Monroe Award.

All three are apt choices as the individuals selected have long been of service to the community. Sutherland is one of the those hard working individuals who makes things happen in

this community. She may not be the person to chair a group, but she will take on the unsung hard work of being a group’s secretary or treasurer. She is the person who get the work done. It doesn’t matter if it is school bond measure, the Boys and Girls Club or Monrovia Reads, Sutherland is there to help.

Huss is another of the hard workers in this community. There is rarely an event in this city at which one of her lovely floral creations is not present. And she does all this with a cheerful and enthusiastic manner.

And then there is Rudy.

One needs to say little more.

Everyone knows who he is and has a favorite Rudy story, be it the birthday party for an 80 year old mother, or a rather delightful tequila fueled Friday night with friends. There are few community events at which Rudy is not present or participating.

The Annual Membership and Awards Dinner at which this awards will be presented is open to the general public. It will be held

on Friday, January 27, 2012 at the Doubletree Hotel, Monrovia. The social hour will begin at 6:00 p.m. with the dinner following at 7:00 p.m. Monrovia Chamber Board of Directors for 2012 will also be introduced at the dinner.

For ticket information about this event, call 626 358-1159 or email to KR@ Monroviacc.com.

Pasadena Community Urgent Care Urges Employers and Local Residents to Consider Sensible Alternative to ER Visits As Pasadena Community Urgent Care (PCUC) prepares to celebrate its first anniversary, a new national study reports that consumers and employers alike can save significant time and money by more properly using urgent care centers instead of hospital-based emergency rooms for non-emergency care.

Unnecessary use of ER facilities is rampant in the United States, resulting in increased medical costs, long wait times, and decreased availability of medical resources for patients truly in need of emergency care. It is estimated that as much as 27 percent of all emergency room visits could take place at an alternative treatment site, such as urgent care, with a potential cost savings of approximately $4.4 billion annually.

The new survey, conducted by Evive Health in conjunction with the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, reports that 40 percent of employees surveyed had never used or were unfamiliar with urgent care facilities as an option.

“Many employees do not realize that many non-acute illnesses can and should be treated at urgent care to reduce costs,” said Evive Health Chief Operating Offi-

cer Prashant Srivastava. “Everyone benefits if we leave ERs open for the true health emergencies, such as trauma, heart attacks and stroke.”

According to Wendy Karsten, chief executive officer of Huntington Medical Foundation whose physicians staff PCUC, the survey’s findings are “totally consistent with what we have experienced over the past year. Many people are simply unaware of what an urgent care center can offer for those times when you can’t wait for a doctor’s appointment but your need isn’t life threatening. And our evening and weekend hours mean that people don’t need to take time away from work to take care of their healthcare needs.”

Karsten points out that broken bones, cold and flu symptoms, cuts, sprains, sports-related injuries, and high fever are among the many conditions that can be treated at PCUC. The center includes 11 examination rooms, procedure rooms, testing laboratories and mobile X-ray equipment.

“Once people have been to our center for care, they tell their friends and become a supporter of the cost savings and convenience we offer,” Karsten says.

In support of the local

business community, PCUC provides immediate care for on-the-job injuries as well as an array of employee health services such as pre-employment physicals, drug screenings and more. “Our goal is to support the local business community by providing much-needed services in an easy-to-access, affordable and comfortable environment,” said Karsten, who adds that other employee health services offered at the center include respiratory fit testing, lift evaluations, vision and hearing test services, postaccident care, and breath alcohol testing as well as X-ray and lab services. PCUC also offers InstyMeds, a convenient medication dispensing system for employees’ medicinal needs.

PCUC is a unique collaboration among the city of Pasadena, Huntington Medical Foundation, Community Health Alliance of Pasadena and Huntington Memorial Hospital. The center is located at 3160 East Del Mar Blvd. and is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

For urgently needed care, appointments are not necessary; however, appointments are required for employment physicals and screenings. For more information call 626270-2400, or visit HMFUrgentCare.com.

Monrovia Veteran’s Day Observance

Recycled Water Pipeline Extension Completion Lauded by Public Officials The Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District (Upper District) and its federal partner, U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) celebrate the completion of the $3.2 Million Rosemead Extension Pipeline Project from 10 A.M. to 12 P.M. on Thursday, November 10, 2011 at Edison International Headquarters in Rosemead, CA. SCE is one of the corporate partners receiving recycled water through this pipeline extension.

This completed segment is a critical element of the on-going expansion of the Upper District’s recycled water system. The recent addition of about 3 miles of pipeline along Azusa and Vine Avenue and a new 2 million gallon reservoir in the City of West Covina was in part made possible by $600,000 from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, the Stimulus Fund) via the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation. The remaining $2.6 Million was funded by the Upper District.

The joint venture was

the first Title XVI project constructed in Southern California using ARRA funds. Title XVI of Public Law 102-575, Reclamation Wastewater and Groundwater Study and Facilities Act of 1992 directs the Secretary of the Interior, among other activities, to undertake programs that investigate and identify opportunities for water reclamation and reuse of municipal, industrial, domestic and agricultural wastewater, and naturally impaired ground and surface waters, for design and construction of demonstration and permanent facilities to reclaim and reuse wastewater.

Over 105 construction jobs were created through the investment in this critical infrastructure. In the past fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, Upper District invested about $9 Million in the expansion of the recycled water system.

Public officials participating in the celebration include David Palumbo, Assistant Regional Director of the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, State Senator Ed Hernandez, OD, State Assemblymember Mike Eng, Rosemead Mayor Steven

Ly, Upper District Board members Bryan Urias, Dr. Anthony Fellow, Ed Chavez and Bill Robinson and Congresswoman Judy Chu, Ph.D., providing the celebration’s keynote speech.

Upper District’s President, Charles Treviño will give awards to the public and corporate partners in this venture that are among the firsts entities to receive and use recycled water in their facilities. The awardees are Garvey School District, Panda Restaurant Group. Inc., Southern California Edison, University of the West and Walmart.

Once the currently planned expansion of the recycled water system is completed, over 5,000 acre feet of recycled water per year will be used to irrigate schools, parks, golf courses and street medians. Using recycled water decreases the need for increasingly costly imported water that is pumped from the sensitive Bay-Delta eco-system in Northern California and reduces stress on the San Gabriel Valley’s already overstretched groundwater supply.

Bank Transfer Day Continued from page 1 Bank Transfer Day and a "Move Your Money" day hosted by the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York. Progressive organizations such as the PCCC and MoveOn have begun their

own campaigns, as well as the New Bottom Line launching their own "Move Our Money" campaign.

As a part of the festivities on Friday, Monrovia’s American Legion Post 44 will unveil the newest monument in Library Park, this one to commemorate the actions of those who served in the Korean

War in the 1950s.

The post raise the funds for the monument through individual contributions an various fund raising events. According the Chuck Keen of the post more information about them is available on the post’s web site: www. americanlegionpost44online.org.

Dazzling Crystal Ball Raises $500,000 for Methodist Hospital Music legend Paul Anka delivered an exciting “Vegas” style performance for the 900 guests at Methodist Hospital’s 22nd Crystal Ball Saturday, October 29, at the Pasadena Convention Center Ballroom. The consummate entertainer thrilled guests for the second time at the glamorous black-tie event which raised a record breaking $500,000 to benefit the hospital’s newly enhanced emergency services.

The evening’s highlights included the recognition of event honorees Alan and Sandy Whitman for their many years of dedicated service to Methodist Hospital.

“Sandy and I feel both special and honored to be recognized this way. For us, this is not the culmination of our involvement and our support but just one more stop in what has been a wonderful and satisfying journey, a journey that, for us and our family, will go on for years to come,” Alan said.

Event co-chairs Christine Antonovich and Mickey and Lee Segal were elated by the amount of support from the community. “We are very grateful that people recognize the significance of the hospital and its emergency services to the community and are eager to provide support,” Christine said.

Helping set fundraising records were this year’s Grand Sponsors.

They are the Honorable Mike Antonovich and Christine Antonovich, Angela Y. Fu, Cole and Cindy Harris; Dav8id and Angela Fu and David

Zhang; Leo A. Daly, Linda Wong and East West Bank; Chang-Huan (C.H.) and Haily Hsuch; Morgan Stanley Smith Barney; Panda Restaurant Group, Inc.; Mickey and Lee Segal and Alan and Sandy Whitman.

Mickey added, “We are thankful for all those who contributed, whether through attending the event, donating an auction item, working on the committee or helping out in other ways. The tremendous support of our donors made this event a success.”

Crystal Ball committee members: Dr. Shirley Chi, Angela Y. Fu, Evelyn Greathouse, Sue Hale, Ben Harrington, Sandy Hartford, C.H. Hsueh, Ulanda Lee, Meimei Liu, Juliet Lu, Linburgh McPherson, Dr. Richard Sun, Annie Teng, Angel Throop, Dr. K. Heiner, Vogelbach, Sherry Wang, Susan Woo and Dorenda Wong.

The lucky winners were Paul and Donna Rusnak and Sandi and Bob Kolitz. Deserved special recognition to Gloria Rico, special events manager, was given on stage with flowers.

World Premiere of ‘Prison is Where I Learned to Fly' Opens November 19 at the Carrie Hamilton Theatre “Prison Is Where I Learned to Fly” is a play based on the collective memory of a Duarte family of 17 siblings. The story focuses on brother Patrick, victim of molestation by the parish priest when he was ten years old, and his life-long struggle with addiction and incarceration.

Despite the pain and darkness surrounding him, Patrick finds redemption I the developing loving relationship with sister Shelley (the playwright), mostly through their written correspondence.

The result is the release of the family’s incarcerated voices…and secrets.

Playwright Rochelle Duffy taught in Los Angeles inner city schools and at The

Chandler School in Pasadena for over 20 years. An alumna of Pacifica Graduate Institute, she received her Ph.D. in Mythological Studies with a focus in Depth Psychology. Her play “Prison Is Where I Learned to Fly” is her personal story as seen through her eyes and those of her siblings.

Director Debra De Liso has directed nearly 300 original solo plays, as well as several world premiere productions. She was awarded a three-year grant from the California Arts Council to teach theatre to women in prison, and taught a playwriting workshop to five

LA Master Chorale Performs Pulitzer Prize Winning Work Nov. 13 at Disney Hall The Los Angeles Master Chorale pairs two intimate Bach motets with two contemporary works influenced by the Baroque composer Sunday, November 13, 2011, 7 p.m., at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Music Director Grant Gershon conducts an expanded choral version of David Lang’s Pulitzer Prize winning the little match girl passion, which is based on the Hans Christian Andersen story and also borrows text from Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, and the U.S. premiere

of James Newton’s jazz tinged Mass, flavored by Charles Mingus, Messiaen and Bach. Rounding out the program are two Bach motets for double chorus – Singet dem Hern ein neues Lied and Fürchte dich nicht.

Critics across the country have hailed the little match girl passion as one of the most original choral compositions of the new century since its riveting premiere in Carnegie Hall.

James Newton crafted his heartfelt Mass with influences ranging from

Medieval counterpoint and Bach to the hard bop and free jazz of Charles Mingus.

Premiered in Italy as a vocal quartet, the dense, spare and reflective piece is performed with seven instruments, four soloists and 32 members of the Chorale.

Concert tickets range from $19 to $134. For tickets and information, call (213) 972-7282 or visit www. lamc.org. The Walt Disney Concert Hall is located at 111 S. Grand Ave. at First Street in downtown Los Angeles.

Monrovia VFW Hall Given a Face Lift from Home Depot

By Susan Motander The meeting hall of Monrovia’s chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars was in rather bad shape until last month, when, just in time for Veterans Day, Home Depot came to the rescue. This year The Home Depot Foundation has launched a two month project called “Celebration of Service” which honors U.S. military veterans. As a part of that project, the all volunteer group rescued the old meeting hall.

On October 28, forty five individuals from Team Depot, employees of the store who volunteer their time to the foundation showed up at the VFW Hall at the corner of Chestnut and Magnolia.

With supplies donated by Home Depot the Team set to work. Their projects included fixing the stucco, painting the interior and exterior, installing new energy-efficient lighting and upgrading the décor (they called what they had décor?). VFW Post #2070

has never looked as good.

And all this in time for the holidays (the Marine Corps Birthday is November 10 and Marines will be celebrating that as well as Veterans Day on the 11th.

According to Catherine Woodling, the PR and Communications coordinator for The Home Depot Foundation, “This effort to support VFW Post 2070 was part of The Home Depot Foundation’s twomonth ‘Celebration of Service’, a campaign to honor U.S. military veterans, celebrate their contributions and provide support to nonprofit organizations that serve them.”

In total there have been more than 350 service projects nationwide as part of Home Depot’s “Celebration of Service” between Sept. 11 and Veterans Day of this year. In addition, Woodling said that the foundation has committed $30 million over 3 years to nonprofit organizations dedicated to

improving the homes of economically disadvantaged veterans. She explained that through Team Depot, thousands of Home Depot associates volunteer their time and talents to positively transform neighborhoods and perform basic repairs and modifications to homes and to the facilities serving veterans with critical housing needs.

The VFW refurbishment alone had a value of over $10,000. Woodling said that The Home Depot Foundation believes that every veteran should have a safe place to call home and that this should extend to their meeting hall as well.

Home Depot’s commitment to veterans is easy to understand. Thirty five thousand of their associates are themselves veterans and there are approximately 1500 currently on active duty in the military,.

39 Steps Above Duarte Road

Former Sierra Madre Mayor is Cross-Defendant in El Monte’s Lawsuit

By Dena Burroughs

-Courtesy Photo

Thanks to a partnership with Rose Hills, the Arcadia High Theatre Department was able to put up a 5 ft by 35ft banner across Duarte Road at Golden West Road.

This would not have been possible without the support of Rose Hills and its effect was felt the day it went up. Ticket purchases increased the very day the banner went up and have continued to this day. At this point the opening night and closing night are getting close to being totally sold out.

But it is not just the sign that the Theatre Department depends on to sell out their productions, they involve the entire community For example whether get your car washed in Arcadia, purchase food from Ralphs, plat golf at the Arcadia Gold Course,get coffee from Starbucks, have a meal at Dennys, buy a book

at Vromans, shop at Whole Foods, go to CVS, shop at Party World, eat Mexican food at El Torito, Acapulco or Pacos, go to the Chamber of Commerce, go to the Arcadia gas and mini market, shop at Jo Annes Fabrics, shop at Radio Shack, go to Rods Grill, Dominicos, Olive Garden or Matt Dennys, get a costume at Pok A Dots or get gas at Sirius Chevron or Jerry’s Union and even you when you stop by a 7 – eleven store you will find marketing posters both large and small.

The Theatre created a special Seniors Night on November 15th where the seniors do not have to wait in line and they only have to pay $10. Some of the seniors who have been to past shows at the theatre purchased bulk tickets as soon as they were announced. One nice feature for seniors is that there

are no steps between the sidewalk and their seat.

The Arcadia Rotary is doing a special night at the theatre and are having dinner before the show (also provided by the Theatre Department at an additional cost) Rose Hills purchased a large block of VIP seats so many of their employees could attend. A VIP seat allows you to get your seat saved by the theatre department so that in this case they could be assured they would sit together The 39 Steps Production opens November 15th and plays through the 19th.

This Alfred Hichcock thriller/comedy holds the record as the longest running comedy on broadway!

The City of El Monte has filed a civil action at the Los Angeles Superior Court in which it names three companies and thirteen individuals as participating in “a scheme to defraud the City and Agency and misappropriate public funds.”

The case was filed in response to a lawsuit by Transite Village LLC (TV LLC), which the City of El Monte had contracted to build the El Monte Transit Village, a complex that included a bus terminal plus businesses and residences along Santa Anita Avenue and next to the 10 freeway.

TV LLC insists that its contract was prematurely terminated.

The lawsuit filed by the City of El Monte says that TV LLC and its affiliate JT LLC were created to help John Leung and Jean Lang, Titan Development’s top executives, hide their unlawful actions.

Both LLCs are subsidiaries of Titan Development.

Former Sierra Madre Mayor Bart Doyle is listed as a Cross-Defendant in the lawsuit, allegedly part of a network created to keep Leung and Lang liability free. According to the lawsuit, Doyle started as a consultant for Titan Development but became a “managing member” after the arrest and resignations of the two executives.

In September Doyle told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune that he had “divorced” himself from Leung and Lang when the El Monte project fell

through. He said also that the two Titan executives kept business discussions to themselves, sometimes even switching to Chinese to talk business. Doyle said he is still owed about $200,000 for his services and that perhaps a criminal case will help him recover some of the money he lost.

Meanwhile, John Crawford, the editor of the Sierra Madre Tattler, is having a bit of fun in his blog speculating just how unaware this consultantturned-manager could have been about the dealings of a company right under his watch, and what the motivation would have been to continue working without pay, even after the demise of the top execu-

tives.

The lawsuit filed by El Monte asks for repayment of four million dollars that the city borrowed from HUD and of plenty more received from housing grants and other forms of public monies, all given to JT LLC and TV LLC to develop the projects.

The lawsuit accuses the involved parties of forging the signature of their own financial backer, Jack Chang, and of using the City of El Monte’s seal without consent. The lawsuit seeks also “for punitive damages in an amount appropriate to punish the Cross-Defendants and deter others for engaging in similar conduct.”

Moments Become Memories

By Dorothy Denne

I was talking with my grandson recently. He is 23 and was momentarily facing the sad side of life. We were speaking of friendships and their value in our lives.

I had commented that one of the advantages of having many friends is that it opens many avenues. You can have one friend you enjoy skiing with, one you share your love of music with, one you can discuss your troubles with, one you can laugh with

until your sides ache.

He asked, "What if you have one who does all of that?" I answered, "Then you are truly greatly blessed."

"But what if he moves away, out of your life?" "You are still blessed, because you were able for a time to have a gift that many never receive."

Cancer robbed me of such a gift this week. It quickly took my dear friend, Lynn Spencer. We were friends who have been joined at the

heart for over 25 years We shed tears with and for each other. We bitched together and we gave thanks together.

We embarrassed ourselves with fits of laughter. What memories we made.

Lynn was much younger than I. She was my little sister, she was my big sister.

She was my daughter, she was my mother. She was my Friend.

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 12/09/11 at 8:30AM in Dept.

A located at 300 E. WALNUT ST., PASADENA, CA 91101 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Santa Anita Exhibit Opens at Arcadia Museum, ‘And They’re Off!!’

Showcases Track’s Historic Role

– Photo by Terry Miller

The Arcadia Historical Society has announced the creation of “And They’re Off!!,” an exhibit chronicling the historical impact

of Santa Anita Park on the city of Arcadia and its impact on the community at-large. The exhibit, which is fully entitled “And They’re

Off!! Euphemera and Images of Santa Anita Park,” is scheduled to open at 10 a.m. on Nov. 12, through Jan. 21.

Dog Haus Marks Second Location in Old Pasadena with ‘ Dog Haus To Go’ November 8,2011, Pasadena – Dog Haus is expanding once again. This time the family-friendly eatery is opening DOG HAUS TO GO. Marking the third Pasadena location for the popular restaurant, Dog Haus To Go is located at 93 E. Green Street, right around the corner from the recently opened supersized Dog Haus Biergarten.

“Dog Haus has quickly become Pasadena’s top spot for gourmet hot dogs, hamburgers and sausages and we are growing to accommodate the demand with new locations,” said André Vener, a partner in the one year old restaurant that has won rave reviews from customers and critics alike and is a 2011 Reader Recommended top pick in Pasadena Weekly’s Readers Poll. “While all Dog Haus locations offer the same amazing food, each is distinct. Dog Haus To Go was created with the customers on the go in mind.”

“Dog Haus To Go offers customers the convenience that comes along with take out,” continued partner Quasim Riaz. “It is the perfect recipe for everyone from employees who bring their food back to work to busy moms who have a hungry family to feed at home.

The opening of DOG HAUS TO GO follows on the heels of the launch of Dog Haus Biergarten, which is located behind redwhite+bluezz and tucked away in the rear of the historic Edison-El Ray Building, accessible from Green Street.

Unlike Dog Haus To Go which only serves food, Dog Haus Biergarten also features more than 20 beers available on draft or by bottle, with an emphasis on German and California Craft as well as premium Haus wines and classic cocktails. Dog Haus Biergarten also has live music Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings courtesy of top ‘80’s cover bands.

DOG HAUS TO GO opens daily at 11:00am.

There is 90 minute free parking available at The Schoolhouse Parking structure located at Green and Raymond as well as metered parking.

Vener and Riaz, along with partners Hagop Giragossian and Robert and Denise Zeilstra, plan to open another classic Dog Haus on Main Street in Alhambra by the end of the year.

The DOG HAUS TO GO menu includes a variety of signature Haus Dogs such as the Sooo Cali, featuring arugula, diced tomato, crispy fried onions, spicy basil aioli and avocado and the Downtown Dog, wrapped in bacon with mayo, mustard, ketchup, sautéed onions and peppers.

The ten signature dogs also include the B.L.A.S.T., The Little Leaguer and Grand Slam. Giragossian's desire for a sweet and savory combination led to serving the Haus Dogs on grilled King's Hawaiian Bread instead of traditional buns--a culinary choice that customers rave about.

Living up to its reputation as the Best of the Würst,

Dog Haus temptations also include a selection of gourmet sausages that range from Andouille, Bratwurst, Italian Chicken, and Spicy Italian to Three-Pepper Kielbasa.

Also proving to be “best of the burgers”, Dog Haus offers a wide selection of signature hamburgers such as The Freiburger, which features their acclaimed beef patty, fresh-cut french fries, cole slaw, fried egg and cheese on grilled Hawaiian bread.

Veggie Dogs, Corn Dogs, Chili, Sweet Potato Fries and Tater Tots are only a sampling of the many other items on the Dog Haus menu. DOG HAUS TO GO also offers combination packs including the Pick 6, Dirty Dozen and Sausage Fest.

This Friday which happens to be 11.11.11, Dog Haus is celebrating with $1 specials. For example your can get a pint of beer for a buck. How about a Snap Dog for one greenback, If you prefer you can have a bottle or can of beer for a meer 100 cents. Haus wine; slides, Haus Fries, 11/11 shots. Skinless Dog or Fountain Sodas are also only obe dollar American money.

You can’t beat that!
