Fall finally fell and the next thing you know, it will be time to be
celebrating the holidaze. Cool evenings and mornings make for much more
pleasant dog walks as memories of those 100 degree + days begin to fade,
although walking in the dark in the evenings is taking some getting used
to again. The next few weeks are sort of the calm before the storm, where
the holiday season requires every bit of free time getting ready for
visiting family or going to visit family, buying and spending too much and
dealing with the crowds in shops doing the same thing.
There are some fun, pre-holiday activities coming up, not the least of
which are the Veteran’s Day Parade and some concerts, listed below, along
with the first “official” public event for TERA’s Eagle Rockdale Community
Garden. And the long, bureaucratic process of getting the Colorado
Boulevard Specific Plan Pilot Parking Program (say that three times as
fast as you can) finally implemented is finally coming to a close. The
ordinance should be before City Council next week, and if it is moved
forthwith to the Mayor after that, it should be on the books and
implemented in a little over a month. Guidelines for implementation are
being finalized and readied for a quick trip back to the City Planning
Commission for review.
Other issues continue to vex Eagle Rock. I see the on-going vandalism
of Eagle Rock Park on almost a daily basis. The partial destruction of the
tile mural created by school children in conjunction with the Center for
the Arts, Eagle Rock, on the wall along one of the park paths was not only
criminal, it was petty, stupid, rude, short-sighted, and inconsiderate.
Those who did it should be spanked and made to repair it, a punishment
juvenile and petty enough to be considered justice for the thoughtless act
of vandalism. Our thanks to the fine folk who staff Yosemite and Eagle
Rock Parks for their ongoing efforts to provide us with clean, safe
recreation areas to enjoy with our families. Issues of urban design,
planning, and historic preservation, are still being dealt with, or
ignored, on an on-going basis. I hear little about what is going on with
the Colorado Boulevard Specific Plan Design Review Board, even though
projects continue to move forward along Colorado Boulevard. The Northeast
Community Plan specifically allows for a Community Design Overlay Zone,
which could address many of the issues being raised about urban design in
Eagle Rock, yet one has yet to be implemented. And even the little things
like moving the dumpsters in Eagle Rock Park away from the residents, to a
more secure site that would make it more difficult for this area to be
used as a community dumping ground has yet to be done, in spite of
promises made months ago.
I remember when Wendy Gruel was elected to the 2nd Council District and
had a problem with pot holes. When pot holes were slow to be filled, she
and her staff went out and started filling them. Enough publicity was
generated and all at once the Department of Public Works became a bit more
responsive. Perhaps CD 14 staff and some of the affected home owners
should just go move the dumpsters and advise whoever was asked to move the
dumpsters that it has already been done. That would be a real case of
public-private partnership.

The Occidental Theater Department will present two main stage
productions in Keck Theater this fall, Naomi Wallace’s “One Flea Spare,” a
searching examination of class, privilege and other issues set in London
during the plague-ridden summer of 1665, and Luigi Pirandello’s “Tonight
We Improvise,” which shocked its 1930 audience by challenging theatrical
conventions and testing the boundaries between fiction and reality.
“One Flea Spare,” directed by Jamie Angell, will be presented in Keck
on Nov. 1-4 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. “Tonight We Improvise,”
directed by Laural Meade, will be presented in Keck on Nov. 15- 18 at 7:30
p.m. and Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 ($8 for senior citizens and $5
for students.) For more information, call the Theater Department Box
Office at (323) 259-2922.
Occidental honored for community service
Occidental College has been named to the first- ever President’s Higher
Education Community Service Honor Roll, a new federal effort to recognize
colleges that have provided outstanding service to their communities.
Occidental was one of 99 colleges and universities honored “with
distinction” by the Corporation for National and Community Service for
their outreach efforts over the past year, including service to areas
devastated by Hurricane Katrina. More than 500 institutions of higher
education applied for the honor.
From July 2005 through June 2006, some 1,200 Occidental students –
almost two-thirds of the entire student body -- participated in a wide
variety of community service projects, many of them focused on local
schools in Northeast Los Angeles. Examples of community-based learning at
Occidental include:
A new collaborative venture between the mathematics departments at
Occidental and nearby Franklin High School that involves using Occidental
students to explore ways to increase the number of Franklin students who
pass algebra – one of the keys to increasing high school graduation rates.
Spanish classes whose students provide tutoring to pupils in local
elementary and middle schools, many of whom come from Spanish-speaking
households. The children benefit from the tutoring, and Occidental
students get an excellent opportunity to hone their verbal language skills
in a real-life setting.
Improving access to college has long been a focus of Occidental’s
outreach efforts. The college’s Upward Bound program celebrates its 40th
anniversary this year. One of California’s largest and most successful
programs, it serves more than 200 low-income first generation
college-bound students from five local high schools each year. Last year,
Occidental’s GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for
Undergraduate Programs) partnership with Los Angeles Unified School
District served more than 1,500 low-income middle and high school students
from Eagle Rock Junior/Senior High School, Marshall High School and
Nightingale Middle School.

Cactus Gallery & Gifts announces the opening of "Eclectic Spirits"
an alternative rendition of the traditional Mexican holiday Day of the
Dead. Eclectic Spirits features creepy, creepy mixed media masks by Mike
Maas which beckon you to stare closely into the real glass eyes, touch the
bark covered faces and succumb to the darkness which lies within.
Gurupreet Khalsa creates mixed media assemblages that reflect his life
experiences and approach to spirituality, borrowing heavily from Eastern
and Western traditions. Skulls make repeated appearances as symbols of the
mortality-death-transcendence cycle. The recurring theme is the
juxtaposition of the physical and spiritual realms. Another must see is a
beautiful giant mosaic skull done up with sacred hearts and crosses by
Mary Clark-Camargo. Mary is a regular on CRAFT AMERICA and CRAFTLAB for
the Do It Yourself network. Her mosaic skills are exemplary and she also
lends her talents to teach classes locally. Stan Smith, Eagle Rock's own
urban shaman, will lead an interactive altar installation from 8pm to
10pm. Guests are encouraged to bring in their own sacred objects to add to
this spiritual community building event. "Eclectic Spirits" will run from
October 14 - November 4, 2006 with it's artist reception scheduled for
Saturday, October 28, 2006 from 8 pm to midnight. Guests are encouraged to
wear black or come in costume. Cactus is a vibrant space for creative

Highland Park
Farmers Market |

sbudick@caltech.edu writes:
My apologies to those of you who came in search of Jerusalem Artichokes
last week only to be disappointed by their absence. Jan, of Frog Dog
Farms, was sick last week, but promised me that she'd be back ASAP,
hopefully this Tuesday! Meanwhile, we saw a variety of exciting new items
at the market, including that most fragrant fruit of them all, the guava.
When I was in Hawaii several years ago, I rarely drank water, despite the
heat, because on every hike, I saturated myself with guava juice from the
omnipresent ripe guavas lining the trails. Ever since, the scent of ripe
guavas has embodied the tropics for me, so when I thought I detected that
aroma, I followed my nose to Gama Farms booth, which overflowed with the
small green fruits.
Guavas, in case you've never consumed them raw, range in color from
green to yellow on the outside, with the flesh anything from pink to
yellow to white. The interior is filled with soft pulp and many small
seeds, which also range from quite hard to only slightly crunchy,
depending on the variety. Many guava recipes will have you remove the
seeds, but even if they are very hard, they can still be swallowed with no
harm done. Gama Farms had both pink and white fleshed fruits last week,
the white ones being slightly sweeter, based on the specimens I sampled. A
few guavas at home will perfume your kitchen, begging to be consumed. I
like to use them in a poached guava dessert, inspired by the amazing
restaurant, La Casita Mexicana, in Bell. Cut 4-6 guavas in half and place
them in a saucepan with 1C water and 1C sugar. Bring the liquid to a low
boil and then simmer the fruit over very low heat for 5 minutes. Remove
the guavas and place them in a bowl while you continue to reduce the syrup
for another 10 minutes. Add the syrup back to the fruit, along with 1/2t
vanilla (and 1-2T tequila, if you like) and then place in the refrigerator
for at least 1 hour, the longer the better. Serve the guavas with syrup at
room temperature, with a wedge of lime to squeeze over the fruit. Guavas
contain an astronomical amount of vitamin C and are also rich in vitamin A
and dietary fiber, so no guilt is necessary in enjoying this dessert.
In addition to guavas, you can now find both Fuyu and Hachiya
persimmons at the market as well as the first tangerines of the season. If
you're a persimmon fan, you know the difference between the crisp Fuyu,
with its apple-like consistency, and the Hachiya, which is eaten soft, at
which point it becomes juicy to the point of practically liquefying in
your mouth. Gama farms was also selling prickly pear fruits (tunas) for
the first time last week, along with the nopales, cactus paddles, that
have been available for the last few months. For an up to date list of all
of the produce available at the market, take a look at ww
w.friends4oldlafarmersmarket.org.
As always, you can also pick up fresh bread, along with artisanal
cheese and fruit preserves at the market. And if you come hungry, you need
not go home that way, with roasted chicken, corn and potatoes, along with
Korean barbeque and tamales vying to fill you up.
Please stop by the market for fresh, field- ripened, high quality
produce from local farmers and spend time with your friends, neighbors and
other community members.

Carlotta's
Passion Fine Art |
![](http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/spacer.gif) |
Carlotta’s Passion Fine Art is pleased to announce “Moving Toward the
Infinite”, which features works by Linda Vallejo, Audri Phillips, Michael
Salerno, Rick Ortega, and Mark Hennessey. The commanding works in “Moving
Toward the Infinite” probe states of existence in the dance of life that
are independent of standard Western concepts of time, space, and domains
of consciousness. We are treated to a multi-level examination of the
fabric of the cosmos as we are guided from the semi- concrete to seemingly
abstract manifestations of the infinite. Along the course, we travel
through ancient and modern cultural archetypes, dreamscapes, and works
that manifest notions of unbounded space, time, and quantity. In the end,
we are freed from limitations imposed by Western culture upon our
perception of “reality.”
Mark Hennessey’s elaborately encased found object sculptures and
combines coax the viewer to examine the beauty of form, texture, and color
in everyday objects and, in so doing, develop a new sense of appreciation
for beauty overlooked on a quotidian basis. In the course of examining Mr.
Hennessey’s sculptures, we make the move from “looking at” to “seeing.”
Rick Ortega presents brilliantly rendered archetypes from pre-Columbian
culture. In the work of Linda Vallejo, we find more archetypes, this time
of the universal sort. She commonly references the spiritual and
integrates ceremony with nature. More than one viewer is so profoundly
influenced by Ms. Vallejo’s compositions as to recall personal stories of
vision, catharsis, and healing.
Like Duchamp’s "Nude Descending the Staircase," who commits the act of
descension repeatedly at a singular moment in time, Ms. Vallejo and Audri
Phillips present imagery that prods the viewer to discard monochronic time
filters. Stylistically, Ms. Phillips is a photo realist whose ethereal
visions compel the viewer to enter a world that is soothing yet
resplendent with elements of intrigue.
Michael Salerno’s works must be interpreted on multiple levels to
appreciate the full scope of their intent. They may suggest the infinite
upon first take. On further examination, we sense powerful expressions of
human existence and creative expression that have existed for more
millennia than the Western mind can easily grasp. Mr. Salerno’s usage of
tangled lines harkens back to the ritualistic terrain of the cave dwellers
from whom we descend. From them, we find similar lines made with wet clay.
As we remain focused on a Salerno work, we transcend to higher planes
of existence, to energy fields surrounding the human aura, to the ultimate
power of humanity.
The exhibition will be on view at Carlotta's Passion Fine Art, 2012
Colorado Blvd. (cross street is Maywood), Los Angeles (Eagle Rock), 90041.
Hours are 12 pm to 9 pm, Wednesday through Sunday.
There will be a reception for the artists on Saturday, November 4th
from 7-10 pm. For further information or photographs, please contact the
gallery.

but if not...
A man named Vic found an adorable little Pomeranian type dog-- blond,
friendly, tiny, no collar. It was loose at the corner of Eagle Vista and
Hill Drive. He would like to return it. I was wondering if there was a way
to get this info out... He was going to put up signs sat morning.

Hi, Michael,
I'm a great fan of the TERA e-newsletter and rely heavily upon it for
updates about community issues and events. What's more, I thoroughly enjoy
your rhapsodies about seasonal finds at the Highland Park Farmers' Market.
All of this makes me feel sheepish about making any sort of complaint, but
I feel compelled to comment on your lack of coverage of the Eagle Rock
Certified Farmers' Market, which takes place on Fridays from 5:00 to 8:30
p.m. In my humble opinion, it's every bit as wonderful as the Highland
Park event, and I hate to see it getting short shrift!
With best regards,
Annette Moore
Thanks for writing, Annette. I've been waiting ever since we started
running the article on the HP Farmers Market for someone to ask, "What
about the Eagle Rock Farmers Market?", and someone (you) finally did!
First off, some clarification. I did not write those well written articles
about the HP Farmers Market. That credit goes to a person with the e-mail
address of sbudick@caltech.edu. You can tell he's smarter than I just
because his e-mail address ends with edu, never mind the "caltech". As a
matter of policy, we try to run information on all community events taking
place in Northeast Los Angeles. But, because we are "The Eagle Rock
Association", we try to emphasize what's happening in Eagle Rock and
especially what's happening with TERA events first. I too think it is
great that Eagle Rock has a Farmers Market and if someone would care to
send me an article about it, chances are excellent it would appear
somewhere in the TERA e-letter above the HP Farmers Market article, no
offense to our friends in Highland Park. Michael Nogueira and the Eagle
Rock Chamber of Commerce do a great community service for Eagle Rock by
putting on the Farmers Market every Friday night at Merton and Caspar
Avenues, accross from the Eagle Rock Branch Public Library. Now what we
need is someone to write about how great it is. Any takers?
