Newsletter 091113 The Council Weekly Prepared by the City Manager’s Office, City of San Gabriel WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2013 TOP STORIES ACE & City dedicate historic millrace, Sept. 24 PRESERVING A FRAGMENT OF 1820’S AGRICULTURAL WATER SYSTEM The Alameda Corridor East Construction Authority and the City of San Gabriel invite the community to attend a dedication ceremony of the historic Chapman’s Millrace. The event will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, September 24 in Plaza Park, adjacent to the San Gabriel Mission. In June, workers supervised by archaeologists carefully maneuvered a 20‐foot, 30,000‐pound section of fragile masonry waterway associated with a mill built in 1923 to Plaza Park. The section was reinstalled and opened for public display in late summer. ACE relocated the millrace from the railroad right‐of‐way in preparation for excavation as part of the San Gabriel Trench Grade Separation project. The historic millrace channeled water from springs located near present‐day Huntington Drive in the San Gabriel Valley to a gristmill constructed by Native American laborers in the 1820s under direction from the priests at the San Gabriel Mission. The section in the park will feature flowing water, historical signage and landscaping. Please RSVP your attendance no later than Tuesday, September 17 to Ricky Choi at [email protected]. See attached flyer. We hope to see you there!

Arroyo. The unique site is located west of Alhambra Wash and would require construction of a bridge to access the condominiums from Arroyo. Approximately 20 people attended the meeting for the new proposal. They voiced concerns about traffic, bridge location, location of guest parking, maintenance of the wash, noise, fire access and provision of utilities. The development team plans to revise the project to address these concerns and will hold another community meeting in the near future.

POLICE Recognize and protect yourself from identity theft Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal identifying information such as your name, Social Security number, or credit card number without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. Protect yourself by reading your credit reports; carefully reviewing your bank, credit card and account statements; shredding all documents before throwing away; creating high‐security passwords; and using anti‐virus/spyware on your computer. If your identity is stolen, make sure to flag and order your credit reports and to create an identity theft report.

Research shows that crashes involving alcohol drop by an average of 20 percent when well‐publicized checkpoints are conducted often enough. Officers will be contacting drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. Officers will also check for proper licensing and will strive to delay motorists only momentarily. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail, license suspension, and insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes, and other expenses that can exceed $10,000. Funding for this checkpoint is provided to San Gabriel Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety. If you see a Drunk Driver, please call 911.

  • Nationalism, Sovereignty, and Agrarian Politics in Venezuela
    Sowing the State: Nationalism, Sovereignty, and Agrarian Politics in Venezuela by Aaron Kappeler A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by Aaron Kappeler 2015 Sowing the State: Nationalism, Sovereignty and Agrarian Politics in Venezuela Aaron Kappeler Doctor of Philosophy Degree Anthropology University of Toronto 2015 Abstract Sowing the State is an ethnographic account of the remaking of the Venezuelan nation- state at the start of the twenty-first century, which underscores the centrality of agriculture to the re-envisioning of sovereignty. The narrative explores the recent efforts of the Venezuelan government to transform the rural areas of the nation into a model of agriculture capable of feeding its mostly urban population as well as the logics and rationales for this particular reform project. The dissertation explores the subjects, livelihoods, and discourses conceived as the proper basis of sovereignty as well as the intersection of agrarian politics with statecraft. In a nation heavily dependent on the export of oil and the import of food, the politics of land and its various uses is central to statecraft and the rural becomes a contested field for a variety of social groups. Based on extended fieldwork in El Centro Técnico Productivo Socialista Florentino, a state enterprise in the western plains of Venezuela, the narrative analyses the challenges faced by would-be nation builders after decades of neoliberal policy designed to integrate the nation into the global market as well as the activities of the enterprise directed at ii transcending this legacy.

  • Race, Fútbol, and the Ecuadorian Nation: the Ideological Biology of (Non-)Citizenship by Jean Muteba Rahier Florida International University
    e-misférica 5.2: Race and its Others (December 2008) www.emisferica.org Race, Fútbol, and the Ecuadorian Nation: the Ideological Biology of (Non-)Citizenship By Jean Muteba Rahier Florida International University Whether new or old, cultural or biological, what … racisms have in common is their dependency on, and ultimate reduction to, a belief in the biological separation of the human population into visible and discrete groups; that is “race.” With the widespread belief that it is an open, autonomous and meritocratic arena, sport is fundamental in informing people’s perceptions about the naturalness and obviousness of racial difference. … The world of sport has thus become an image factory that disseminates and even intensifies our racial preoccupations. (Carrington and McDonald 2001: 4-5) Participation in international sports competitions often provides “national populations”— and particularly their elites—with occasions to enact the official understanding of “national identity,” or sometimes also to reflect upon and revisit what and who is included in, or excluded from, the “national character,” and why. Such events can also give a special stage to victorious athletes from subaltern groups or excluded peoples. This essay is focused on the comments published in the press and on the internet about the performance of the almost entirely black Ecuadorian national team at the 2006 FIFA World Cup—the biggest global sports arena there is. On 9 June 2006, the Ecuadorian team won 2-0 against Poland in their first match of the tournament in the Gelsenkirchen stadium in Germany. Two Afro-Ecuadorian players, Carlos Tenorio and Agustín (Tín) Delgado, marked the goals.

IDF Strikes Targets in Gaza in Response to Incendiary Balloons After Unrelated Explosions Rock City by Morgan Artvukhina Explosions were reported in Gaza early Saturday morning several hours after several brush fires in southern Israel, which the Israeli authorities said were caused by incendiary bombs launched from Gaza. While the Israeli Defense Forces denied responsibility for the explosions, real strikes soon began. Several unmanned aerial vehicles were reportedly operating over the Gaza Strip on Saturday morning. According to Quds News, there were explosions reported on agricultural land north of Beit Lahia, a city in the northern Gaza Strip, while another explosion was reported in central Gaza. Despite reports of IDF activity, conflicting reports also claim the explosions were the result of grenades. Additionally, the Times of Israel reported that the IDF wasn't conducting combat operations over the territory at that time. A reporter with Palestinian outlet Shehab News also reported the explosion in Beit Lahia was "internal." About an hour after the first explosions were reported, anti-aircraft guns were reported engaging Israeli Air Force aircraft as several explosions were reported in the central city of Khan Younis as well as at the civil administration building in Jabaliva in the northern Gaza Strip. Footage of anti-aircraft fire in northern Gaza was posted on social media.
