That initial foray has turned into a commitment of excellence for the students, the artists and the community.” Blaetz came to Los Angeles from Pennsylvania in 1991 to pursue a career in acting. He and Weston came up with the idea to help the nearest high school in the neighborhood. He never imagined in 1997 that the project would be so successful. “What was a single idea for the school has grown into a community based partnership that has benefitted the entire Fairfax community,” Blaetz added. “Families make their living through Melrose Trading Post, students find their passion through the Greenway Institute and many professional artists have built their careers at the Greenway Court Theatre.” The celebration on Oct. 8 begins with the Greenway Arts Alliance Donor and Friends Brunch and Live Musical Tribute from 10 a.m. to noon. The organization’s supporters will be joined by students from Fairfax High School. Seamus Dever, of the television show “Castle,” will host a musical tribute. Tickets to the brunch and musical tribute start at $55. The festivities at the Melrose Trading Post will occur throughout the afternoon. Greenway will honor numerous supporters including Lisa Richards and Steve Mendillo, who will receive the Greenway Arts Alliance’s Arts Leadership Award; fashion designer and former Melrose Trading Post vendor Shareen Mitchell, who will receive the Melrose Trading Post Visionary Award; and Fairfax High School principals Carol Truscott, Carmina Nacorda and Kenneth N. Adiekweh, who will be awarded special recognition honors. The public is also invited to the “Market Mash” celebration from noon to 5 p.m. at the Melrose Trading Post.

County institutes Indigenous Peoples Day The Los Angeles Board of Supervisors passed a motion, authored by Supervisor Hilda L. Solis and co-authored by Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, removing Columbus Day as an official county holiday and replacing it with Indigenous Peoples Day. Since at least 1970, Native Americans have celebrated Indigenous Peoples Day on the second Monday of October as a day of remembrance of their ancestors, as a means of dispelling the myth that Columbus discovered America, and to celebrate the survival, resilience and deep contributions to all people who now live on this continent. Recognizing the contributions, history and sacrifices made by the original inhabitants of Los Angeles and this continent is long overdue. This one act of restorative justice is important to many communities throughout the County, especially Native Americans, who have some of the highest percentages of depres- sion, incarceration, infant mortality, diabetes and a lower life expectancy of any demographic. The motion establishes Indigenous Peoples Day as an official county holiday on the second Monday of each October; desig- nates October 12 of each year as Italian-American Heritage Day in the County of Los Angeles; and sends a five signature letter urging the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education to consider taking a similar action. As declared by the presidential proclamation of 2015, Native Americans and their traditions inspire the ideals of self-governance and determination that are the framework of our nation. 12 October 5, 2017 Park Labrea News/Beverly Press
