Nothing compares to the flavor of food that is grown in healthy 
soil, without pesticides, and allowed to grow until just the right 
time for harvesting. Square foot gardening uses only 20% of the 
land space of a conventional garden and saves both water and 
time. There is no tilling of the soil so anybody can do it. This 
method will be fully explained so you may create your own square 
foot garden, with lessons on setup, planting, watering, growing 
vertically, pest control and harvesting.

SANTA ANITA BOWLING GREEN CLUB 

by GENE PLUNKETT PUBLICITY CHAIR

FOUR TRIPLES TEAMS ONE WINS

The Santa Anita Bowling Green Club held their second 
tournament of the New Year on Thursday the 3rd of February in 
the Arcadia County Park in Arcadia. Another beautiful day for 
bowling.

There were only four teams entered for this event. The format 
was to play one game of 12 ends, have lunch and play the final game 
of 12 ends to determine the winner. When all was done only one 
team had won both games taking first place. That team was lead by 
Margi Rambo, and the other two members Irene Brodie Mastro, 
and Gene Plunkett.

Taking the second place was the team with Dick Ashmore as Skip, 
Shuman Chan as his Vice Captain, and Sandy Dalzell (played one 
game) and Marc Rich. The third place money went to Dewey Tse’s 
team with bob Hauerwaas Vice, and Al McKeown Lead. The other 
team had a bad day but enjoyed the contest. That team’s Captain 
was Jim Miller with John Gonzalez and Juanita Jones in support.

The Santa Anita Club is looking for new members all the time. 
If you think you would like to learn this sport give Gene Plunkett 
a call at 626-351-5327 to find out about free lessons. If you have a 
computer you can find our web site at: www.lawnbowling-arcadia.
com <http://www.lawnbowling-arcadia.com> . The rules for men 
and women are the same and if you enjoy the outdoors, can walk 
about half a mile and pick up and roll a 3 pound bowl, then come 
on out and give it a try. Saturday mornings at 9 AM would be a 
good time to drop by the club and see what it’s all about. The greens 
are located at the Arcadia County Park on South Santa Anita Ave 
in Arcadia, just south of Huntington Drive. It’s a sport that can last 
you a lifetime. The club motto is: Lawn bowling is happy times 
with good friends. Give it a try and play the best-kept secret in the 
sporting world. See you on the greens.

HEART ATTACK RISKS WITH VASCULAR DISEASE

Arcadia Senior Services Division in partnership with 
Methodist Hospital is having Scott Herman, MD Cardiologist 
be the keynote speaker on Tuesday, February 22 at 1:30pm. 
The lecture will take place at the Arcadia Community Center, 
365 Campus Drive. At this free health presentation Dr. 
Herman will talk about the risk factors that can lead to heart 
attacks. Vascular disease includes any condition that affects 
the circulatory system. As the heart beats, it pumps blood 
through a system of blood vessels called the circulatory 
system. The vessels are elastic tubes that carry blood away 
from the heart while the vein returns it.

Vascular disease includes diseases of the arteries and veins 
and blood disorders that affect circulation. It is the leading 
cause of heart attack and strokes. Dr. Herman will talk about 
the risk factors, diagnosis and treatment options that are 
currently available.

 

If you would like to attend this free health presentation 
reservations are required. Please call Arcadia Senior Services 
626.574.5130 before February 17 or for additional information. 
This is for individuals 50 years of age and older.
