I received a note from MonroviaNow reader Janet Wall lamenting the tone of the current council/mayor race on social media sites, such as Facebook. She asks, "If the tone of the campaign is this hostile this early, how bad will it be as the election date gets closer?"
She challenges candidates to:
Run a civilized and respectful campaign
- Stick to the issues
- Do not engage in personal attacks on your opponent
- Discourage “anonymous” postings on social media as most mean-spirited posts come from anonymous posts
Think of the long term good of the city
- Will mean spirited and untrue comments help the City when the campaign is over?
- Will remarks that are made by candidates, and their supporters, make it impossible for people who supported different candidates to work or volunteer together after the campaign?
- Will the tone of this campaign reflect the values of the City and will it make the citizens of Monrovia proud of its leaders and future leaders?
She says, "Let’s not allow this election to tear the community apart."
COMMENT: I've not seen nasty comments by the candidates themselves, though I have seen some from their supporters. I do allow anonymous postings on MonroviaNow.com and have had some minimal problems as a result. I bleeped one comment and wrote a warning in another instance. I allow anonymous postings because I don't want to put any hurdles in the way of people making their voices heard, and so far it has not gotten out of hand, so at the moment I'll keep it the way it is, but I agree with Janet Wall, please keep it civil.

Monrovia Police: Car Wash Crash With Injuries; Drunk Driving; Take Keys from Locker, Steal Car
[Monrovia Police activities from the Police Department's Neighborhood Watch Report for Highlighted Activity for February 12-15. - Brad Haugaard]
Following are the weekend’s highlighted issues and events.
Injury Traffic Collision
February 13 at 3:41 p.m., officers responded to an injury traffic collision involving multiple vehicles and victims at a car wash in the 900 block of East Huntington Drive. The collision involved an adult, male driver of a Toyota Camry who was attempting to exit an express car wash. The driver lost control of his vehicle and collided into four cars that were parked on the property. A 10-year-old boy was standing near the collision scene and was struck by one of the vehicles, knocking him to the ground. The boy sustained a head injury and was taken to a hospital for treatment. He was listed in serious, but stable, condition. The boy’s 3-year-old sister was in a child restraint car seat inside the vehicle. She sustained minor bruising on her face and was also taken to a hospital for treatment. The mother of the two children was vacuuming the vehicle and sustained bruising on her upper body. She did not desire medical treatment at the scene.
During the course of this multi-vehicle collision, a white Toyota Rav-4 was also struck by the driver of the Toyota Camry. An adult woman was drying off this vehicle when it was struck, and she sustained injuries to the right side of her body. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment. She was listed in stable condition. The driver of the Toyota Camry sustained a minor injury to his nose. His 8-year-old son was in the back seat and complained of pain to his right arm. He was treated at the scene by paramedics. The driver of the Toyota Camry and his 8-year-old son were not taken to the hospital. There was no indication of alcohol or drugs related to this traffic collision.
The 10-year-old boy’s parents were contacted by police later in the week, and they reported that the child is home recovering and is doing well.
Driving Under the Influence – Suspect Arrested
February 14 at 12:55 a.m., an officer on patrol saw a vehicle run a red light in the 500 block of South Myrtle. The investigation revealed that the driver was under the influence of alcohol. The driver was arrested and taken into custody.

February 15 at 1:55 a.m., an officer on patrol stopped a vehicle in the area of Foothill and Primrose for making a right turn on a red against a posted sign. During the contact, the driver was determined to be driving under the influence and was arrested.
Grand Theft Auto
February 15 at 1:06 p.m., an officer responded to a business in the 500 block of South Mountain regarding a vehicle theft that just occurred. The vehicle taken was a silver, 4-door, 2002 BMW. Further investigation revealed that the suspect entered a locker room and cut the victim's lock. He then took the victim’s backpack, which contained the victim’s car keys, from the locker and stole the victim’s vehicle from the parking lot. The investigation is continuing.

Chris Ziegler Election Statement - Running for Monrovia City Council
As a 20-year Monrovia resident, homeowner and volunteer, I am running for City Council because I care about Monrovia’s future.
My experience as a Navy veteran and former financial services IT professional taught me valuable problem-solving skills and the ability to anticipate challenges. I will ask tough questions, prioritize issues and provide the vision to move Monrovia forward, promising to:
- Value your input, serve you honestly, and restore integrity to Monrovia’s business and political processes. Anything less is unacceptable!
- Hold town-hall meetings, building a more effective, connected and informed citizenry.
- Employ experienced resources, crafting smarter policy, building long-term financial prosperity.
- Seek partnerships with higher-levels of government, addressing macro concerns. We must end Clean Water mandate opposition and capitalize on funding sources to build a cleaner, safer, more enjoyable Monrovia.
- Work toward more than just a park for residents in “southern” Monrovia. Our city’s fabric must be re-woven to value and include ALL constituents equally.
My volunteer experience is exceptional (see www.Ziegler4Council.com).
I encourage you to contact me directly and seek-out individuals who know me personally. What I lack in endorsements from current city government, I make up for with broader vision, grass-roots hard work and dedication to a better Monrovia. If you are satisfied with the status quo, then vote for who they support. If you believe Monrovia deserves a new approach, use your voice and vote to insist on change, moving Monrovia into the future: a future where your representatives are honest and direct, where they responsibly administer the important service they are tasked with delivering, and where OUR TAX DOLLARS are not abandoned in Sacramento or Washington for other cities to appropriate.
We are ALL invested in this great city. Let’s work together, making it even better! Humbly, I ask for your vote.

Leonard Holen Election Statement - Running for Monrovia Mayor
LEONARD HOLEN
Candidate for Mayor of Monrovia
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I am running for Mayor of the City of Monrovia because I believe we each have a responsibility to make the world a better place in his or her own way. I am going door to door meeting people and shaking hands.
First, I would like to share with you all a few facts about myself. I was born on a farm in the Midwest and, as a child, moved to a small town. Small town values and common sense were instilled in me by my parents and family. I served in the U. S. Army for eight years and a veteran of the Gulf War. I am married to my wife, Rocio Holen, have one son that is married and has two children who are also residents of Monrovia.
I am an elected Trustee with the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 2070, and a member in good standing of the American Legion. Each month I volunteer to feed the homeless. My dedication to community service and desire is to do what is best for the City of Monrovia. This has motivated me to run for Mayor.
Some of the programs I would like to institute as Mayor of the City of Monrovia are:
- Institute a women's shelter for Veteran's with Children
- Installation of community pocket parks and gardens
- Collaboration with water district and city to install sustainable landscaping for water conservation
A vote for me, Leonard W. Holen, as Mayor of Monrovia is a vote for our City.
See you in the neighborhood,
Leonard Holen
Gloria Crudgington Election Statement - Running for Monrovia City Council
Gloria Crudgington
Candidate for City Council
I am running for City Council because I am deeply concerned about the following issues:
· I attended the 2014 City Council Budget Study Sessions (10 sessions over 9 months, not videotaped), the only member of the public that attended regularly. I learned that we have $38 Million in unfunded deferred maintenance and budgeted only $300,000 to fix it. At this rate, it would take 125 years to fix everything, assuming nothing else breaks. In other words, we balance the budget by essentially ignoring the deferred maintenance.
· Despite assurances from City officials that our zoning codes protected us from Arcadia-style McMansions, they don’t. Please visit my website, www.GloriaCrudgington.com, to view the Youtube video that led to the temporary moratorium. I am a 17-year Monrovia Historic Preservation Group Board Member and activist. New construction must be compatible with our neighborhoods. Who you elect will determine the future of our architectural heritage.
· Last year, we were told we didn’t receive a grant to restore our historic train depot. That was untrue. (Visit my website to view another Youtube video, “Monrovia Train Depot Disaster.”) The City lost a $927,000 grant to restore our train depot. According to a note sent to me by Interim City Manager Fran Delach last year, the grant was “neglected,” “the funds had to be returned to the MTA,” and “the employee responsible for the project was terminated by the City.” This would mean the grant loss was not “deliberate” or “thoughtful,” as recently described by the City.
In the past year, these circumstances have turned me, an 11-year Community Services Commissioner, former Citizen of the Year and dedicated volunteer, into a whistle blower. I refer you to my website for my additional credentials, and I ask for your vote.
Monrovia Council: Maintenance Issues; Finances; Dial-a-Ride
At the next City Council meeting (agenda: http://goo.gl/8tFkpp ) the Council will consider a number of maintenance issues:
- Mud and Debris Removal in the Madison Fire Area.
- A contract for design and construction management services for the Huntington Drive median.
- A contract for the preparation of a citywide street reconstruction plan.
Also, a report on city finances. Summary: Looking a bit better with a few glitches: http://goo.gl/GHhUz9
And, the city may purchase up to four new Dial-a-Ride vehicles: http://goo.gl/KESl8n

Crab House and Bakery, And More Pizza, for Monrovia
Apparently there will be a new restaurant at 941 West Duarte Road called "Momo Crab house and Bakery." Interesting combination. And another, at 400 W. Huntington Drive (Sprouts shopping area, I believe), called Papa Murphy's Pizza. The Monrovia Development Review Committee will consider proposed signs for the businesses. http://goo.gl/iZLzIj

Robert Parry Election Statement - Running for Monrovia City Council
As I have knocked on doors to talk to Monrovians from 5th Avenue to Bradbury Drive to Hillcrest to Encino Place, I have heard many concerns about our special community. Concerns like crime, streets without stripes potholes, empty store fronts and fears of traffic from the Gold Line. We must address our massive deferred maintenance backlog, preserve our natural and historic ambiance, and budget carefully.
I’m proud to be endorsed by community leaders like Councilmembers Tom Adams & Alex Blackburn; Former Mayors Rob Hammond, State Senator Dick Mountjoy and John Nobrega; activists Gwendolyn Jones and Jimmy Oballes; and the Monrovia Police Officers’ Association.
My qualifications include:
- Small-business owner; 20 years in marketing and finance
- Master’s degree in business from USC; bachelors in journalism from the University of La Verne
- Military reserve officer: three combat tours; currently responsible for 120 Soldiers & $10 million in government property
- Community activist and proven City hall fighter
- Member of Monrovia Library Park Conduct Committee
- VFW Post 2070 Senior Vice Commander
- Father of a pre-schooler
- San Gabriel Valley native
My priorities are simple:
- Prioritize fiscal responsibility & public safety
- Preserve Monrovia’s unique character and appearance
- Maintain our infrastructure.
- Economic development and integration of the Gold Line, to include attracting new high tech businesses to town while mitigating noise for the neighbors.
- Improve quality of life; building a park south of Huntington Drive.
I promise to always do what I believe is Monrovia’s best interest. I’ll apply my experience as a father, businessman and leader to every question. And I will respect all who come to participate in our democracy and make Monrovia a better place.

Thank you for the honor of your vote.
