Outtakes from CD 14. The "CUT AND PASTE CAPITAL" of Los Angeles

Hola and Good Friday to all in the barrios that comprise CD 14.

For the "COUNCILMAN LAST SEEN AS JOSE HUIZAR" Good Friday could not come fast enough.

First, "feeble and shallow" are what describes the "COUNCILMAN LAST SEEN AS JOSE HUIZAR" defence of the Las Lomas Project. Was this the same guy who took a stand for open space regarding Elephant Hill that compares to the Las Lomas Project on a micro level ? But then perspective changes once you look beyond the district boundaries, or do they??

Take the brewing revolt at the Wyvernwood complex over the Fifteen Group expansion plans. Former Assembly candidate and friend of "Jackie G", Elena Popp is organizing the tenants against the property owners. When this FUBAR is done, someone is going to wish that he never went to a certain Super Bowl party.

On the slopes of Mt. Washington, back to back stories in the L.A. Times and L.A. Weekly respectively paint the "COUNCILMAN LAST SEEN AS JOSE HUIZAR" as an enabler to the whims of "BIG AUTRY". Thus you get the selling of rotating pieces of artifacts as a GREAT VICTORY along the lines of saving the 256 bus route.

In "Northern Boyle Heights" tensions are at a flash point in Ramona Gardens Housing Project after the latest LAPD/ Hazard Gang confrontation. What the locals do not realize is that their days in "HAZARD" may be numbered. Can you say Bio-Tech Research Corridor?? One needs to look at the Advisory Board of the Legacy LA website. One will find DAVID GALAVIZ Adelante CRA board member, and........"FRIEND OF CAROL" DALILA SOTELO as redevelopment advisor. Thus will Ramona Gardens become "PUEBLO DEL SOL, NORTH" ?????

****Link to recent You Tube footage filmed in Ramona Gardens, this highlights the state of relations between residents and LAPD****

And not to leave out the "PUEBLO DE SERENO", there may be "light in the end of the tunnel", or simply stated a tunnel in the future for South Pasadena and Eastern Sereno. No word whether South Pasadena resident Victor Griego will have a say in where the tunnel portals are located, but what about those hundreds of Cal Trans houses that the likes of Don Jones and Hugo Garcia are alleged to have their eyes on???

All this adds up to some form of "EC NO CLEANSING/ RELOCATION" of CD 14 population to make way for a "NEW LOOK CD 14, GENTRIFICATION EDITION"....... historical and cultural history be damned.

****Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council/ Mt. Washington Re vote We pass along the endorsement recommendation of "ONE IN FIVE" for Scott Folsom and Ann Walnum.****

BTW, what with the official symbol of Free Enterprise in CD 14, the "PALETA CART" being lefted off the Mural at Hollenbeck??

Happy Easter to all!!

Outtakes from CD 14, The "CUT AND PASTE" Capital of Los Angeles

Hola!!

Much news from the barrios of CD 14.

But we start off with the new symbol of CD 14's proud new papa Councilman Jose Huizar. We here at the RED SPOT INSTITUTE are in the name of modesty, a "tiny red spot" in the "BLUE OCEAN OF BIG GOVERNMENT LARGESS". Yet our esteemed Councilman must be in search of his true inner self or legacy??.

So in the vain of the "Performer formerly known as Prince", we will bestow the Councilman with the moniker "COUNCILMAN LAST SEEN AS JOSE HUIZAR".

On the subject of last sightings, Councilman Jose Huizar was last seen leading thousands to Hazard Park to honor the 40th Anniversary of the Walkouts, Blowouts, whatever term in use today. Sal Castro who must be given credit for his actions back in 68 was honor by the likes of Huizar, Councilman Ed Reyes, School Board President Monica Garcia and State Senator Gloria Romero among others.

Plans are to place a plaque at Hazard Park. Yet it should be notice that Hazard Park has been placed within the Adelante Redevelopment Zone. So could it be that the historic meeting spot for thousands of students in 1968 may be carved up for building by the likes of USC and others??

Academia Semillas del Pueblo is moving ahead in expanding their teachings to the 9th-12th grade level. "ANAHUACALMECAC" an International University Preparatory High School in "Alta California" is now signing up students. For info@dignidad.org

Parents and students are protesting the removal of the popular football coach at Eagle Rock High School. Mediation may be the next level in this saga that has seen walkouts, protests and heated exchanges.

Hermon residents want to rename the Arroyo Seco Dog Park into the "Hermon Dog Park".

In the City of Commerce which borders Boyle Heights to the Southeast, a recall is in the works against "anti Vernon Power Plant" Council member Tina Baca Del Rio and Mayor Robert Fierro. One must wonder what role Victor Griego and Richard Alatorre have in this political drama.

Residents in Boyle Heights are concern about the affects that added density will have on their community.

****BREAKING NEWS****: Gil Cedillo aide Auturo Chavez has dropped out of the race to replace Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez. This leaves Ricardo Lara and John Perez as the top two candidates to replace Nunez. The County Labor Federation will make their endorsement on Monday. Rumors that Lara would leave the race were denied by the out-going Speaker today in Sacramento.

A "Park Advisory Board" is being form for the Ascot Hills Passive Park in the hills behind Wilson High School.

........and in closing, what has become of the Clark Fund in CD 14???
