The plan includes expansion of the school’s facilities that include a 12,860 square foot, two story multi-purpose building; a 2,900 square foot amphitheatre and a new multi-purpose sports field to replace the existing softball field. Currently the school is operating under a Conditional Use Permit that was originally approved in 1959. Alverno has not done any major renovations since that time. It is proposing the improvements and expansion in order to maintain its ability to compete with other private schools and maintain its’ enrollment. Currently the enrollment is approximately 350 young women. After years of negotiations with neighbors and city officials, an Initial Study was done in March of this year to review the overall impact of the project on the community. In May, a Final Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the Sierra Madre Planning Commission. On Thursday, the MND was reviewed and the commission requested additional information from city staff before approving the document. Residents who live in the area sur- rounding the school are split in their opinions of the project. Many of the more vocal opponents have lodged their complaints with the school and the city. As a result, a series of com- munity meetings were held last year that resulted in the school and the city mitigating certain issues, but there are still concerns being expressed over po- tential increases in noise and traffic. There is also concern about the impact of the project on the trees in the path of the expansion. According to CEQA, a Negative Decla- ration (or Mitigated Negative Declara- tion) can be prepared only when there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. And while the city has submitted documentation to sup- port a MND, opponents do not agree. The consensus of those opposed to the project is that the data used to support the MND was “woefully inadequate”. Before the MND was submitted to the planning commission, the state’s clearinghouse submitted the application from Alverno to numerous agencies for review. Reviewing the application to insure that the school’s plans would not violate any state laws or have an adverse impact on resources in the area were the California Departments of Fish and Game, Parks and Recreation, Transportation, Regional Water, Quality Control, Cal Trans and the Highway Patrol. In addition, the North American Heritage Commission reviewed the application. Of the agencies contacted by the state, only one, Cal Trans, issued a letter to the city. In it, the agency asked the city to limit heavy construction equipment to off-peak hours and to remain mindful of concerns regarding water run-off. The planning commission listened to speakers on both sides of the issue in a marathon session that resulted in postponement of any action on the MND until July.

Over thirty persons spoke dur- ing public comment, with only a handful of dissenters. The commis- sion discussed the current iteration of the plan until 11 p.m., asking for further work from the school. The plan will be revisited next by the commission in July. Photo by Chris BertrandPost Commander Dave Loera sa- lutes as Paul Puccinelli performs Taps at Memorial Day serviceA standing room only crowd es- timated at more than 200 people turned out to honor the nation’s fallen soldiers at Pioneer Cemetery today, Memorial Day, at a ser- vice put on by Sierra Madre’s Harry L. Em- bree VFW Post 3208. Commander Dave Loera presided over the ceremony, which began with the posting of the colors by mem- bers of the VFW, fol- lowed by the Pledge of Allegiance.. Rev. Pat- rick Brennan of Mater Dolorosa gave the in- vocation, and Patrick and Mary Cronin led the crowd in singing the National Anthem, America the Beau- tiful and God Bless America. Commander Loera in- troduced Mayor John Buchanan, who spoke briefly about Memo- rial Day, thanking the veterans and applaud- ing the VFW members for the spirit in which they present the ser- vice on an annual basis. He asked the crowd to remember that “this day is their special day, but so too, is tomorrow.” Buchanan then introduced keynote speaker Council Member Mary- Ann MacGillivray. Ms. MacGil- livray spoke for just under twenty minutes, reciting statistics on the number of casualties and deceased in various wars, and quoting presi- dents, statesmen, historians and military figures. She reminded the audience that Sierra Madrean How- ard Miller, who is buried in Pioneer Cemetery, and whose widow, Tom- mie Anne still lives in town, was one of the men who raised the flag at Iwo Jima. And she spoke of what America is, and that others strive to be like America. “We’re a collective mix of greatness and greed, high tech and heart- land. We are the country of Mickey Mouse and Micky Mantle, from John Smith to John Glenn and Atlas Booster, from Charles Lindbergh to Charlie Brown, from Moby Dick to Microsoft. We went from Kitty Hawk to Tranquility Base on the moon in less than seventy years. We’re blue grass and rock and roll, Marvel Comics and the Bill of Rights. In short, we are everything that everybody wants to be.” She spoke of the recent passing of a 110-year old WWI veteran, the last remaining veteran from World War I. And she spoke of the need to keep the stories of our WWII veterans alive. She then introduced the VFW members that had served in WWII, allowing each to stand and be recognized, and they were recognized with a standing ovation and a long round of applause. She introduced Staff Sergeant Ken Anhalt, who was a tail gunner on B-24 bombers. Petty Officer Gor- don Caldwell, who served on the USS Saratoga, was next, followed by Staff Sergeant Art Contreras, who served in the Pacific The- ater and was awarded the Purple Heart for his service. Michael Do- menico, a US Army Engineer who served in Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany, as well as the Pacific Theater. She introduced Petty Of- ficer Ted Evans, who served from 1945 to 1949 in the Philippines, Japan and China, and Petty Officer George Metzger, who served from 1943 to 1946, including Okinawa. “These gentlemen are our World War II heroes,” she concluded the introduction. She closed by reciting the third verse to America the Beatiful, call- ing it a “fitting end to this day.” The words to that verse are: O beautiful, for heroes provedIn liberating strife. Who more than self their country lovedAnd mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refineTill all success be noblenessAnd every gain divine! Following the traditional laying of the wreaths by members of the VFW, Paul Puccinelli performed a flawless rendition of “Taps” on the bugle. The service was followed by a lunch of sandwiches, chips and beverages.
