This year’s fundraising recipients will be both local and far reaching: expanded Youth Arts Programs offered through the Sierra Madre Youth Activity Center and cleft palate surgeries for children and adults who would otherwise not receive this care through the nonprofit Rotaplast Foundation. This specialized plastic surgery has been performed by a group of San Francisco based volunteers since 1993, improving a needy child’s ability to eat, speak, hear and breathe, and restoring a normal appearance and function. In anticipation of the event, a summertime art and essay contest will focus on this year’s fundraising theme; “Children’s Smiles Around the World” which ties to the creation of new children’s smiles

Taste of Sierra Madre volunteers receive entries to the “Children’s Smiles Around the World” Art and Essay contest. Committee members from L to R are Chris Bertrand, Publicity; Moira Love, Art Chair; Tom Brady, Event Chair; Kathleen Brady, Student artist; Ria Richey, Art Judge; Karen Keegan, Savor the Flavor Owner and Wrist Band Ticket Sales; Kathleen Coyne, Volunteer; Madeleine Romo, Savor the Flavor and volunteer.

through this life changing, cleft palate surgery. The contests invite Sierra Madre resident and student submissions to interpret this theme from kindergarten to grade 12 until July 30th, 2010, and extends also to Pasadena and La Salle High Schools just over the community’s border. Rules and application forms can be downloaded at www.ATasteOfSierraMadre.com. Belle’s Nest will offer a free class in July in case any student needs help completing the art submission. Children’s creative submissions will be professionally judged and displayed throughout the summer; then savings bond prizes will be awarded at the Kersting Court event on September 11th. Every 100 submission fees of $5 per entry will add up to $500, funding an additional cleft palate surgery donation. We’ll keep track on the website on the children’s progress toward surgeries for other children! The grass roots volunteer effort for this brand new event is chaired by local businessman, MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM Tom Brady, president of The Destination Group. Back in April, Brady viewed a moving video of a volunteer group of medical professionals performing cleft palate surgeries on needy children around the world, literally enabling some of them to smile for the very first time at a service club meeting. Days later, when he couldn’t get these children out of his mind, he was driven to raise funds for more surgeries…and a new event started evolving. Brady immediately began gathering community, civic, school, service organization and volunteer support for this and another needed project, much closer to home, an expanded fine arts program offerings at the Sierra Madre Youth Activity Center. Also known as the YAC, the center also serves adjacent communities like Arcadia, Monrovia and Pasadena. “It’s so important for our children to expand their academic and sports experiences with fine arts. So many studies reinforce that work in the arts spells increased success and focus for students,” says Brady. Funds raised will be equally split between the two causes. A day of food, fun and the fine arts will include a morning tour of local “Coolest Kitchens” beginning at Fred Crockett’s ALNO European Kitchens on Montecito, fifteen restaurant and culinary stations from local businesses beginning midday, a chef demonstration and talk about making healthy food fun and appealing for children, essay and art contest awards plus a fun, Sierra Madre Fire Department vs. Police Department cook-off. A wide variety of professional, live music will fill Kersting Court throughout the day. Noted restaurant critic and television personality, Peter Dills will be part of the day’s festivities. Gayle Bluemel, principal of Sierra Madre School, confirmed her “Late Bloomers” band as the opening artists, featuring fellow musicians Dan Ames, Scott Shephard, and Ross Johnsen. Their rich country & blues sound draws inspiration from the 1970’s musical genre and attracts a large Sierra Madre loyal fan base. They will be followed by Katie’s Starbucks Band and an array of special guest artists before the program finale with patriotic songs performed by choirs combined from local organizations, churches and schools. For a taste of life here in Sierra Madre, local private and public schools and service clubs such as the Kiwanis and the Chamber of Commerce have already started reserving a place to share samples of their own offerings by purchasing pop up tent space locations for $500 per booth. A closing musical event will bring local singers together for patriotic songs in a memorial of For the first time in its 50 year history, Creative Arts Group will host a sale of the 9-11. work of the 60-plus artists showing in their gallery.

A special photography exhibition will be displayed at the Shumei Hall Gallery from July 11th to July 31st. Please join us and the artist, Cybele Lyle, on Sunday July 11th from 1pm - 3pm for the opening reception. “Architecture and DNA” is a series of photographs that examines the influence of a father’s work as an architect on his daughter’s work as an artist. Inspired by models of buildings and gardens that Cybele’s dad designed when she was a child, Cybele started constructing her own buildings out of foam core – emphasizing the kind of spaces that fit her personal life. Unlike her dad’s works that were designed to be used in the real world, her structures were created as spaces of potential – architecture for her own personal/artistic narratives. The garden and studio of the home Cybele grew up in were designed by her dad and, of all his work, had the most immediate impact on her. For this series of photographs she projected images of their garden and studio onto her own structures, creating a 3rd space – one that exposes the complexity of influence and departure from a parent. Cybele holds an MFA from Hunter College in New York, where she received the Tony Smith Award in her final year. She has recently shown at Krowswork Gallery in Oakland and Artists Television Access Window Gallery in San francisco. Cybele will be an artist in residence at the Bemis Center in Omaha this fall as well an affiliate artist at the Headlands Center for the Arts in 2011. When you hear that someone Cybele’s father (the silent partner in this project) was founder of Cal Poly Pomona’s Lyle Center for managed to sell a home Regenerative Studies. Her mother, Harriett Lyle, is a prominent Sierra Madre civic leader. without representation, it's likely that the sale was to a family member, close friend, or a tenant who was already renting and living there. These exceptional cases are not the norm, and there are powerful reasons why it is so difficult to make a sale "by owner." The biggest roadblock is that For Sale By Owners (FSBOs) aren't included in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) that licensed agents and organizations use. A sign in the yard and an ad in the newspaper are no match for the widespread exposure gained from a listing visible on the MLS. Since the FSBO has no listing agreement providing for a sales commission,many agents won't show these homes with no promise of compensation. Again, this greatly reduces the number of potential buyers exposed to the offering, not to mention the fact that buyers who do express interest will not have been screened by a professional to determine their qualifications. Perhaps the most hazardous aspect of selling “by owner” is the potential for legal oversights and complications. Real estate transactions are loaded withpotential liability for unrepresented and unwitting sellers. One overlooked form or improper disclosure could generate an expensive lawsuit. Just as you wouldn't enter the courtroom without an attorney, you shouldn't sell your home without professional representation.
