Watch out for the Walker House
The new year brings us near the first anni-
versary of the end of redevelopment agen-
cies in California. Some legislative decisions
prove not to be the best for local communi-
ties; this might prove to be one of them.
No doubt there were cities that abused
redevelopment – which allowed local agen-
cies to bond for project work that resulted
in local tax revenues. Some of the projects
favored insider interests in ways contrary to
the intent of law.
Those agencies and abuses should have
been corrected. Instead, the power to focus
on beneficial development was stripped from
all cities.
It does not appear that the state acted en-
tirely to correct abuses. The state also acted
to increase its own funding at the expense of
local decision making.
Just dissolving the agencies and taking and
redistributing cash assets is consequential,
but the dissolution of redevelopment agen-
cies puts at risk cultural assets created or
preserved through redevelopment.
The Walker House
In San Dimas, through the encourage-
ment and support of many citizens, the City
Council in 2000 acted wisely in buying
the historic Walker House, built in 1887
as a railroad hotel. Since then, the city has
invested in preserving the building and creat-
ing new business uses consistent with its
historic character.
It is unclear whether the city will be

The Citrus College Foundation has received one of the most sizeable charitable gifts in Citrus College’s 97-year history that will further the col-lege’s mission to advance its students’ educational goals to completion.
The undisclosed gift is a bequest from the estate of Citrus College alumni, Dr. Bill May and Betty Holt May. Bill May, who died in February 2008, served as California’s assistant state superintendent of public instruction.
Betty May was a long-time elementary school teacher for the Charter Oak and the Sacramento City school districts; she died in
May 2012. “The Citrus College
community is profoundly grateful to the May family for this enduring gift,” said Dr. Geraldine M. Perri, superintendent/president of Citrus College and execu-
tive director of the Citrus College Foundation.
“Bill and Betty May’s lifelong affinity for Citrus College will allow numer-ous students to achieve their educational goals, establish their careers, and
build successful lives.”The Mays attended
Citrus College during the 1950s and earned reputa-tions as student leaders and high achievers. Bill May, who grew up in Pasadena, was a gifted athlete and participated in student government. Betty May, a Monrovia High School graduate, was a cheer-leader and the college’s first elected female student body president.
In 1994, the couple es-tablished the Dr. Bill May and the Betty Holt May scholarships.
The scholarships are awarded to Citrus College students who are transfer-ring to a four-year college or university and were involved in student life
Warner Bros.’ “Gangster Squad” weaves the tale of an elite unit of the Los Angeles Police Department tasked to rid the city of L.A. crime kingpin Mickey Cohen and of imported mobsters that original Gangster Squad member Jack O’Mara described as “hoodlum types from Rhode Island … what we called ‘dandruff.’ ”
Yet for all the retellings of the squad’s mission to rid the city of mob figures, one prominent crime or-ganization continues to fly under history’s radar – Los
Angeles’ own Mafia fam-ily, headed by the mysteri-ous Jack Ignatius Dragna.
a true CorleoneDragna is a true son of
Hollywood legend in that
he was born in Corleone, Italy in 1891. But un-like the movie Corleones, Dragna avoided violence and kept his focus on business, which included gambling offshore and in
the foothill communities of the San Gabriel Mountains.
The saga of the Los Angeles Mafia began with the passage of Prohibition in 1919.
Thanks to a loophole, families were allowed to make wine in their own homes.
Because Italian families traditionally distilled their own wines, Italian mob-sters had a built-in infra-structure to bootleg wines and brandies, while other crime organizations were forced to seek new sources of illegal beer or whiskey.

ADHISTorY & MYSTErY
From Corleone to CUCAmonGA
When Mafia members descended on the foothill communities to purchase grapes to ship back east, they ended up rescu-ing many small family vineyards, wineries and wine stores that populated Route 66 from San Ber-nardino to Los Angeles.
Dragna came to Los An-geles where he ascended to Mafia leadership after the death of original L.A. Godfather Joe ‘Iron Man’ Ardizzone, who disap-peared while visiting a cousin in Rancho Cu-camonga in 1931.
Dragna realized the area’s unique geography and history precluded a traditional crime syn-dicate, so Los Angeles became an “open city” to prevent bloody turf wars.
Strictly businessGambling – particu-
larly in the form of a wire service transmitting instant horse race results – became the bread and butter of the L.A. Mafia, and Mafia business was undertaken in a Rancho Cucamonga winery an-choring acres of vine-
yards in today’s Upland, Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana.
The owner of the win-ery was underboss Joseph “Joe Dip” Dippolito, who oversaw his gambling empire at a small Ontario Market called Charley’s Liquors in Ontario, and who lived in a quiet Upland neighborhood and gave generously to the local Catholic church.
According to Mafia turncoat Jimmy “The Weasel” Fratianno’s “The Last Mafioso,” these vineyards served as a “massive gangster grave-yard” in which offending mobsters were executed and dumped in shallow graves.
When the book was published in 1981, real Mafiosi and San Ber-nardino County Sheriffs who knew the winery hooted in derision at what they regarded as Frati-anno’s brazen attempt at fabricating a bestseller.
While the L.A. Mafia generated less excitement than other crime syndi-cates, it helped lay the foundation for a Mafia of businessmen instead of thugs. In fact, when Dragna died in 1956, he was replaced by a lawyer.
When giving is better than receiving
It was 7 a.m. on a Satur-day morning this past Oc-tober. Although they had just finished a demand-ing week, employees of
San Dimas based ADP weren’t sleeping in. Instead, they were de-scending on the campus
of Garey High School in Pomona to help complete a school makeover project. By the end of the day, 263 employees had painted murals, planted gardens, added park benches and completely transformed the campus.
The project was part of United Way’s efforts to help local youth succeed in school and reach future self-sufficiency. The goal was creating a campus for Pomona students that would foster school pride and a commitment to their education. And thanks to ADP and many others, that goal was achieved.
The reality is that proj-
ects like these would not be possible without local business people who are committed to investing in our community. And it’s an investment that pays big dividends. Businesses succeed when a commu-nity is safe, nurturing for youth, and producing an educated workforce. And research demonstrates that both consumers and em-ployees value companies that support a community cause.
But more importantly, philanthropy is a powerful tool for improving condi-tions in our region. With one in five children living in poverty and some of the worst health and educa-tional outcomes in our state, the Inland Empire clearly needs the assis-tance of local businesses and their employees.
I believe that people want to make a difference, but they often don’t know where to start. Employers
large and small can help make that connection for their employees, improv-ing both our community and their bottom-line. And giving back isn’t one size fits all.
For ADP, it is a part of their culture year-round. They recruit volunteers, run food drives for hungry children, sponsor fund-raising events and invite employees to donate financially.
Inland Empire United Way and many other organizations have a multitude of opportunities for involvement. To learn more, visit www.ieuw.org/challenge-for-children.
But watch out, once you begin, you just might start giving up your leisurely Saturday mornings, too. And if you do, I bet you’ll experience that giving re-ally is better than receiv-ing.

required to sell the Walker House as part of the dis-solution of its redevelop-ment agency. Let’s hope not.
The city has held part of the Holiday Extravaganza there the past few years. The Historical Society has worked hard to put together a wonderful mu-seum and gift shop.
The Festival of Arts is sponsoring 2nd Story Gallery and an art show on the second and third weekends of the month. The Historical Society opens the museum and gift shop on these week-ends.
The art show and mu-
seum visits are free to the public.
It is just upsetting to me that legislation could force communities to buy back beloved and important facilities or sell them as part of the fallout from the state’s permanent budget crisis.
We now know what the term robbing Peter to pay Paul really means. I can only hope that the new folks we sent up to Sacramento the past two elections will get busy and start to work on some of the issues that affect us daily.
It will be really great when we can have a bal-anced state that is not at the expense of local initia-tives and culture.
Hospital and educators partner for learningSAN DIMAS — Health
care educators from around Southern Califor-nia gathered in January at San Dimas Community Hospital to further exist-ing partnerships in the de-velopment of future health care professionals. The hospital hosted a luncheon to provide an orientation to the facility and discuss internships.
Educators were told what skills the hospital needs, as well as gen-eral protocols. Students benefit by being able to ensure that they have the skills that are marketable and useful upon gradua-tion, and are able to meet program requirements for “hands-on” learning, in a very literal sense.
Participating institutions
Educators came from Azusa Pacific University,
Mt. San Antonio Col-lege, the Career Network Institute, West Coast University, Pasadena City College, Concord Career College, the Azusa Adult Education School and the Career Care Institute, representing programs that are educating future nurses, X-ray technicians, respiratory therapists, and surgical technicians.
The luncheon was the first held by the hospital to provide such a formal run through, though orienta-tion for the various pro-grams had been provided on a case-by-case basis before.
Information presented by department heads included a general orienta-tion and welcome and program information, information on infec-tion control, wound care, Medi-Tech orientation, and the SMILE campaign for increasing employee satisfaction and patient experience.
A hand sanitiza-tion demonstration and practice was conducted to remind everyone that the country is in the midst of flu season and hand hygiene is important. A hospital tour presented the newly opened west wing and new equipment.
Encouraging gradsThe luncheon this year
was put together by an ER nurse at San Dimas Community Hospital, Sunil Thomas, at the en-couragement of the Chief Nursing Officer Dora Noriega. Sunil recently received his master’s de-gree in health care educa-tion, and this was a prime opportunity for him to bridge his work nursing and instructing.
In discussing the partnership between San Dimas Community Hospital and the institu-tions, Thomas said “Prime (the parent company of the hospital) encourages new grads as nobody else (does).”

or other extracurricular activities at the college.
Dr. Patricia Rasmus-sen, vice president of the Citrus Community District Board of Trustees, was the college’s development officer when the Mays set up their scholarships. She was impressed with the couple’s dedication to each other and to their
alma mater.“I was struck by not
only what a loving couple the Mays were, but how much they loved Citrus College,” Rasmussen said. “I think it’s wonderful that their spirit for the college and each other will con-tinue forever through their scholarships.”

listing inventory low to start 2013
Drive through most neighborhoods in our foothill communities and you won’t find many for sale signs, confirming what most prospective homebuyers discover as
they comb the Internet for property listings: The number of homes for sale has dropped dra-
matically in the past year.Where have all the list-
ings gone? A number of factors have combined to make a lack of inventory the biggest challenge to sales activity as we start the new year.
The number of dis-tressed properties, which include foreclosures and short sales, dropped to 37 percent of home sales in 2012, down from 70 percent in 2009.
The wave of bank-owned properties that were sup-posed to flood the market has turned into a trickle, and those that do come up for sale are quickly gobbled up by investors or fixer upper buyers.
Banks are working out loan modifications or ap-proving short sales to avoid the foreclosure process with troubled homeowners.
Waiting for appreciation
Many homeowners
who bought with mini-mum down payments or refinanced with maxi-mum cash out from 2005 to 2010 have no equity in their properties and are unable to sell. Until home prices appreciate, they have to wait to trade up or downsize, or be prepared to bring cash to closing.
And across the East-ern San Gabriel Valley, the only cities with new home construction are Azusa, where the new community of Rosedale is filling up the site of the former Monrovia Nursery, and a few new developments in eastern Rancho Cucamonga. Everything in between is built out with city bound-aries butting up against the San Gabriel foothills. The last major new home developments in San Dimas, La Verne and Upland were completed in the 1980s.
So that leaves the tra-ditional equity seller, and most have not been eager to sell after prices peaked in 2007. We are start-ing to see more property listings from traditional home sellers, especially in higher end homes. And I hope that as prices show healthy gains in 2013 we will see more sellers make their move!
