SECTION BSATURDAY, JUNE 11, 2016 
AROUND SAN GABRIEL VALLEY 
THE MONROVIA-ARCADIA-
DUARTE COUNTY COMMUNITIES: 
WE ARE AN ENTITY 

By Joan Schmidt 

A few weeks ago,
I attended the 
ribbon cuttingof the 2nd brick 
sign welcoming 
those enteringthe county area.
It is absolutelybeautiful, and 
when you leave the area, the back side says,
“Thanks for visiting.”

Monrovia-Arcadia-Duarte President David 
Hall spoke and said, “The cities surrounding thecounty areas are three separate entities. Nowthis is a fourth entity- our unincorporated areais finally recognized as its own special entity.”

It’s been a long and difficult journey. It beganin 1992 when Temple Station Deputies who servethe Unincorporated “MAD” Areas were shot 
at. Community meetings were held at MaxwellSchool. Attending were Captain Mirabella,
Sgt. Sammy Jones, Sarah Flores, Chief Deputyfor Supervisor Antonovich and concernedcitizens. Pamela Park Director Maurice Wyre, an Acton resident explained their “TownCouncil”, and so the “MAD” Town Council was 
formed and met twice a month. Through the 

years, Council Members have served on variousboards: a few include Duarte/Monrovia SchoolBoards, Habitat for Humanity, and Duarte EdFoundation. Arcadia’s Carolyn Zieglar was thecatalyst for Monrovia Transit serving Countyareas and the Stop Sign at Daines/Tyler.

MANY improvements and services havebeen provided throughout the years becauseof Supervisor Antonovich and the Sheriff’sSept. LASD had SEVERAL C.O.P.S. Programsin various target areas. Surveys were givento residents; filled out; results tallied. Then a 
special “Town Hall Meeting” was held. TheSheriff’s Dept. brought in ALL needed CountyAgencies to address these issues. Also there’sbeen several great programs at Pamela Park.
Soon the “PARKS AFTER DARK” will resume 
featuring music, movies and more for families.
