  • Santa Anita Shut Down;
    SIERRA MADRE EDITION SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 2019 VOLUME 13 NO.10 SANTA ANITA SHUT DOWN; 21 HORSES DEAD by Kevin McGuire Animal rights activists continue to accrue outside the iconic Santa Anita Racetrack in Arcadia, holding signs expressing sentiments such “It’s Not Sport, It’s Violence” and “Horseracing Kills Horses,” as the track halts all racing and training indefinitely after the loss of 21 horses over a short 10-week period. In addition to dealing with a depleted horse population this season, over 16 inches of rain has pelted the dirt track over the past two months, making conditions for training treacherous at times for bulked up horses with brittle legs. This past Tuesday, Santa Anita reported the loss of a 4-year-old filly named Let’s Light the Way who shattered its sesamoid bone at the ankle joint. The horse was euthanized. Another 20 horses died as a result of racing the main track, the turf track and morning workouts. After the latest catastrophe, The Stronach Group, owners of Santa Anita, called for closure of the track and a thorough inspection. Why did it take so long? That’s what activists and area residents want to know, as the voiced their displeasure, for the way things were handled, on social media and on the parking lot outside the track. “So it took 21 horses to die before Santa Anita closes indefinitely SMH! (shaking my head), of course it’s about the money, not the horses,” one Twitter post said. According to The Stronach Group, a “highly respected track man” Dennis Moore and Dr.

  • The Giving Grove Recommended Varieties Criteria
    The Giving Grove Recommended Varieties Criteria: Recommended cultivars are based on disease resistance (critical importance), later blooming time, storage life, tree size and soil adaptation (root stock), and flavor quality – with an emphasis on “ease of maintenance” Recommended Conditions: • Sun Access - Full sun preferred (6-8 hrs required, morning sun helpful) • Air Movement – Light wind keeps disease at bay and deters frost. Slight slopes encourage air movement • Soil – Recommend good drainage and good soil fertility Apple Selection is based on immunity to Apple Scab, high resistance to Fire-blight, Cedar Apple Rust and Powdery Mildew. In most cases you need two varieties to adequately pollinate each other unless there is a nearby crabapple tree. Trees are listed in order of ripening time. ‘Pristine’ Apple (mid-late season flowering) This PRI (Purdue, Rutgers, and Illinois Universities) selection ripens in late July, producing large crops of yellow apples that are crisp and tasty. They are mildly tart and excellent for fresh eating, baking or in applesauce. The trees are healthy, highly resistant to apple scab, cedar apple rust and somewhat resistant to powdery mildew and fireblight. ‘Williams Pride’ Apple (mid season flowering) Another PRI (Purdue, Rutgers, and Illinois Universities) selection that ripens in August. Dark red apple with excellent tart fruit quality. Field immune to apple scab; field immune to cedar-apple rust; high level of resistance to fire blight; good level of resistance to powdery mildew. ‘Liberty’ Apple (early-mid season flowering) Liberty is very similar to appearance to McIntosh, but its flavor is a bit more tart and its flesh is crisper.
