Glendora Coordinating Council Youth Recognition Award
This month’s honoree is
Jake Petersen. This is one
of the youngest honorees
in recent history. Jake is
in the 3rd grade at Sellers
School
Jake took the initiative
after the shooting at “Sandy
Hook Elementary” in
Connecticut to raise money
for the victims. As told to
me by his father, Matt, Jake
went into his room gathered
up some of his toys, made
a sign and was outside his
house selling his toys on
a table. Throughout the
day Jake had quite a few
customers that stopped by
to help him with his mis-
sion. Jake was able to raise
$58.00 which was sent to
the Victims Trust Fund.
This was an act that
was solely his own initiative and therefore I would
like to nominate Jake and
show him that doing these
acts of kindness are a great
example for other kids to do
the same when there is a
need that arises.”
The Glendora Community
Coordinating Council is
proud to recognize this young
man who by this act of kind- Anthony Macias, Jake Petersen
ness is showing the seeds of & Linda Hermann
becoming a caring and compassionate adult.
Congratulations Jake!

Coordinating Council is

Award.

If you twisted your back,
I’ll get you back on your
feet in 5 days!
By Yu Chen L.Ac.
There is a patient he has
pain in both heels and the
pain is worse in the end of
the day. The pain has a lot
to do with his working position, it happen to runner,
biker and people who is on
their feet all day. I put two
small needles in his hand
and told him to stand up
and walk, guess what the
pain went down instantly.
And he was ok after 2 weeks
treatment.
One of my old patient
came to me couple weeks
ago, she twisted her back.
Her back was like a board
and she would have this
severe pain if she making
a wrong movement. Some
people will go to the emergency room because of this
and end up with some pain
pills and severe pain in
weeks. Well I told her you
are going to be fine in 5-8
days, but I need to see you
everyday. She is ok after 5
days.
In one hot afternoon
there is a patient he said he
got carpal tunnel. I checked
his hands and they were
fine, but he complained the
pain was in both his hands
and it comes and goes. Then
I checked his neck. Aha,
you don’t have carpal tunnel you have neck cervical
problem. This is a common
mistake; people will assume
there is something in their
hands or arms when the
pain is there. It’s just like
the Sciatica the pain is in
the leg, the thigh, the knee
or the feet but the source
is in the lower back L4, L5
and S1. And that’s my treating target. I believe he will
be ok after couple week’s
treatment.
Acupuncture is not a
treatment within the nerve;
it’s a balance between the
meridians. That’s why the
treating point is in your
hand when you have a
heel pain or a headache.
And 80-90% you are going
to experience an instant
relieve. It’s not only a temporary relieve it will be
a cure if you follow my
instruction.
Don’t worry if you have
back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain or any sports injury, I can relieve it in days or
weeks.

Marketing Tips
by Shorty Feldbush
WHEN A PICTURE
WON’T DO THE
JOB!
This old cliché has
almost become gospel; “A
picture is worth a thousand
words.” But there are times
when a picture falls short of
accomplishing the objective.
I don’t think FDR had TV at
his first inaugural address
when he said “The Only
Thing We Have to Fear Is
Fear Itself” and yet just
the words, by themselves,
are still echoing around the
world. And while JFK did
have TV at his inaugural
address, no picture could
resonate like the words,
“ask not what your country
can do for you - ask what
you can do for your country.” Try to come up with a
picture that would take the
place of either of those great
quotes.
In marketing today,
mainly due to all the color
graphics in magazines and
newspapers along with the
vast potential for visual displays provided by computers and television, we have
migrated to a place where
text seems rather left out
of the creative process.
Sure there are the headline
concepts and a few catchy
“where’s the beef” words
of dialog, but the depth of
intellect in terms of the
use of words, sucks! That
includes the sentence I just
wrote.
There simply have not
been enough people educated in recent years to be able
to give us the quality articles, books and screenplays
needed to fill our entertainment and marketing needs.
As a result we substitute
a lot of high-speed chases
with a multitude of crashes
(notice its always the cops
that spin out, but even the
young bad girls can blow
through the market place
without damaging their car
… they just upset the fruit
and vegetable stands). Or
the wide spread reliance
on sex (it sells they say).
And the kids are always
REALLY smart (and smart
mouthed as well) while the
adults and any authority
figures are stupid- by definition.
Today’s music is another example. All they need
for a hit record is a good
bass drum and a few people screaming “give it to me
baby, un hun” 23 times in a
row. When I contrast their
modern lyrics with those of
the last century it brings a
tear to my eye. Of course,
that may come from the
headache that goes with
the ear splitting torture of
listening to “get down on
it” 46 times in a row, and I
don’t even know what that
means.
Marketeers, let me say
that words do count. It’s
why NCIS is, and has been,
one of the top shows for
years. They have writers
who know how to convey
meaning, develop interest
and pull on all the various
emotional chords in the listener. When you get ready
to do another marketing
project make sure you have
a writer on board who has
a wide vocabulary and has
the knowledge of how to use
words to evoke a response
from your prospect. Add a
picture of a fireplace with
snow coming down outside
the window next to it. Now
you have a winner.

It is amazing to me the
amount of people being hurt
in the name of fitness. There
is a huge epidemic of orthopedic injuries in people who
have started exercising with
poor movement skills and
poor posture. When you lack
basic mobility and stability
which just about everyone
does your fitness training is
essentially being planted in
dead soil and you get hurt.
Marketing and not science
has developed this ideology
that you might have seen
on infomercials like P90x
that are muscles somehow
need to be confused in order
to make any progress. First
of all “Muscle Confusion”
is not even a scientifically
valid word and behind all
their fancy charts and histograms is a program that
pushes ridiculous exer-
with rotation because you
have even less rotation (13
degrees) than you do of flexion. Also, the majority of the
population has really bad
posture in a seated position
why then put yourself into
bad posture an additional
250 times a day like they
have you do in these workouts! These are not opinions
but facts and I don’t want
people hurting other people.
Let’s look at the knee which
is a stable joint these programs have an hour devoted to plyometric (jumping)
workouts. First off the best
plyometric should be one
where you jump and land
in the same position. Not
jumping up on a box where
you look like a frogman.
When this happens you
are asking too much mobility from your knee and you
hurt yourself especially
when your hips, knees and
ankles are not warmed up
properly. A lot of people who
are doing these jumping
workouts are overweight to
begin with and the bigger
someone is the poorer their
strength to body weight
ratio is which equals an
injury. Plyometric movements are explosive power
movements that need to be
performed correctly and one
who is extremely fit such as
a collegiate athlete should
never exceed 25 foot contacts per day and 100 foot
contacts per week. This program will far exceed this in
one workout session.
Now let’s discuss this
muscle confusion approach.
These programs will constantly introduce yourself to
a new workout every day to
keep your interest but they
are not applied in a repetitive enough manner for the
body to adapt and make
change, you are essentially exercising with no purpose. Let’s say your goal is
to get in the best shape of
your life, in order to do that
your body needs to improve
its motor unit recruitment
patterns (how you get fit).
So instead of introducing
yourself to a new exercise
Is it not better to master
the initial movements and
allow your Central Nervous
System to refine the recruitment pattern in turn releasing inhibition so your system can apply greater force
due to your muscles and
joint structural components
(tendons, ligaments, etc.)
making structural changes that can support more
weight and decrease your
risks of injuries. Getting in
great shape is our ultimate
goal correct? So why constant change in your exercise routine? I fully understand that people get bored
with their fitness program

The Lack of Science
behind Muscle
Confusion
cise patterns, incorrect
Plyometric techniques, an
excessively long time dedicated to abdominal crunches, and ridiculous emphasis
on “step-aerobic” type cardio
that goes on for an undesirably long time several
times per week. These programs will insist that what
doesn’t kill us doesn’t make
us stronger. What doesn’t
kill us just hasn’t really
killed us yet. We need to
stop hurting people in the
name of getting fit. But
that’s what happens when
these programs pick ridiculous exercises and have you
perform them with horrible
form, you go from a trainee
to a patient.
There are rules all fitness professionals have to
follow but few hardly do
including the creator of
these programs. This concept is as basic as the joint
by joint principle. We have
a series of stable segments
throughout your body trying to maintain position on
moving mobile joints. An
easier way to explain is that
you can’t ask a joint to move
that has no business moving. Let’s use the example
of a sit- up, you are asking
a stable part of your spine
(lumbar) to move. By doing
this you will develop disc
problems, tight hip flexors, loss of glute function,
poor posture and you will
develop poor core sequencing. What are even worse
than crunches are crunches

DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT
Bon Appétit
Roady’s, a Family Restaurant in San Dimas
By Irene Acedo and Sherry
Breskin
So what is it about Roady’s
Family Restaurant that has made
it a San Dimas mainstay for decades? Is it their hospitable crew
who are so happy cooking for and
serving you that they really don’t
want to work anywhere else? Or
is it the 4 Stars on yelp and the
coupons? You’ll have to decide
for yourself but the following is
what we found out recently about
Roady’s concept of country comfort.
Breakfast is booming at
Roady’s. For repeat diners that
often means home baked biscuits
topped with sausage and bacon
gravy. Those small morsels of
cooked sausage and bacon are
crisp and compelling. This tasty
treat is filling enough to satisfy
any Saturday morning southern
appetite ($4.25, full plate $4.75.)
Others who wake up with a sweet
tooth may prefer Roady’s aromatic and sweet cinnamon buns and
a cup of Apfell’s coffee. Or you can
choose from a ‘breakfast all day
menu’ and mix and match.
For Eggs Benedict aficionados,
try those at Roady’s, says Beverly Quinones, a 12-year Roady’s
server. “Our Hollandaise Sauce
can’t be beat.” That’s good news
for cooks who have shed tears
over a steaming double boiler at
home just a few too many drops
of tarragon vinegar or lemon juice
and that delicate balance which
makes the eggs ‘Benedict’ can be
lost. Chef Ricardo Romero just
smiles, it’s all in a day’s work for
him, as it has been for his past
seven years at Roady’s.
Chicken Fried Steak suits my
brother Roy, a former Glendora
resident, who says, “This is how
Chicken Fried Steaks are supposed to taste,” and he adds “one
order of the same to go.” That’s
taste bud memory regarding the
sides of green beans (or another
daily offering of a vegetable),
mashed potatoes and homemade soup of the day or a salad
for $8.95. Generous servings all,
Halibut tops out the dinner menu
at $14.95.
Has it been too long without
a turkey sandwich for you? The
menu gods know this daily you
can have a home baked, openfaced, hot turkey sandwich with
whipped potatoes and gravy for
$7.65, refills on the cranberry
sauce.
By the time you read this feature, lots of our fellow readers and
honorary Irishmen and women
will have savored the annual
Roady’s day-long St. Patrick’s
Day special plates of corned beef
and cabbage (Serving begins at
11:00). If you missed this treat,
don’t worry, Roady’s will honor
your ‘Erin go bragh’ urgings every Tuesday on the daily specials
Menu. Ice cold beer by the bottle
or wine by the glass at $3.95, for
toasting your health.
There are a dozen House Specials from the “Roady’s Jumbo
Burger” with Roady’s Special
Dressing at $7.95 to the Broiled
Steak Sandwich at $10.85. Many
tasty sandwiches and salads are
available; excellent in their simplicity, and consistent in value.
The, under 10, Children’s
menu, features nine choices with
milk or a soft drink, all under
$5.00. Roady’s very responsible
management is adding baby
slings for the convenience of parents and grandparents. Large
screen TVs mean you can keep
tabs on your favorite teams or
other sporting events while experienced Roady’s servers ‘Honey’
(actually Hanae), and Amy Button remember what you had the
last time you ate at Roady’s and
respond with “the usual” for your
pleasure.
When it comes to desserts,
and doesn’t it always, we took
the word of Nate Kennedy, San
Dimas High School graduate and
a well-remembered Roady’s staff
member, now serving his country with the Army as a medic in
Afghanistan. It’s the malts and
milkshakes that were Nate’s favorites, served at your table or at
the counter where the chairs actually swivel. Clumps of ice cream
mixed with delectable strawberries or chocolate and malt (as
in this author’s case) given just
enough time in the metal container under the blades of the vintage Hamilton-Beach mixer to be
authentic shakes and malts in our
opinion. What a treat at $4.95!
Street side service is available
under umbrellas or in the shade
depending on the season. The
outdoor ambiance at 160 W. Bonita is a pleasure. Time passes
as the traffic flows by, and the
brightly refurbished facades of
the buildings on the north side
of Bonita belie their age. Read
the photos provided by the Historical Society. Step back in time
while you are there, back onto the
wooden plank sidewalks and the
Main Streets you remember as
kids across America. Downtown
San Dimas is a comfortable place
where neighbors meet at the local eatery, expecting good food,
fair prices and friends……friends
that are staff, friends you just met
at the counter, or friends that you
walked in with.
Banquet space is available.
Excellent parking is located in the
lot behind Roady’s, with a ramp
for easy access. Call with questions, 909-592-0980.

April Potpourri
Tina L. Kerrigan MS, RD
April is upon us. The first full
month of spring and we are finally
free from winter’s harsh grasp on
Southern California. Well maybe
not as harsh a grasp as the IRS
will have on us by April the 15th,
but winter is over and we can start
enjoying the
indulgences
of spring.
April is National Food
Month and
many great
produce
Tina Kerrigan
items such
as asparagus, artichokes, green
beans, corn, and peas are getting
near their peak.
Despite this readily available
vegetable potpourri of goodness,
many of us may be thinking more
about comfort food as we sit down
at the table with forms, pencils
and piles of receipts to calculate
what Uncle Sam is due.
One of America’s traditional
comfort foods, the hamburger, got
a major boost in fast food popularity when, on April 15th, 1955,
the first MacDonald’s franchise
opened in Des Plains, Illinois. A
two patty burger was fifteen cents
and fries were one thin dime.
Don’t care for burgers? What
could be more comfortable that
curling up with an aluminum
plate of preserved and reheated
turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, and peas in front of that 12”
TV set? Swanson thought so and
introduced the first TV dinner
in April 1954. For dessert, the
first Twinkie was introduced in
April 1931. Until the great banana shortage of World War Two,
Twinkies had a banana cream filling. Vanilla took its place during
the conflict and has remained ever
since.
What can lack comfort are the
pranks that are pulled on April
Fool’s Day.
We can point to the French for
this. In 1582 France adopted the
Gregorian calendar which began
the year on January first. Prior
to this time the New Year was
celebrated on April the first. An
explanation of April’s Fools Day
is that those who did not accept or
forgot about this change became
the object of practical jokes.
Another April milestone for
many cooks was the discovery of
polytetrafluoroethylene in 1938.
Marketed by DuPont as “Teflon”,
it is the basis for non-stick cookware.
A final note on taxes; April 15th
is National Glazed Ham Day. We
can meditate on how many of our
tax dollars may wind up as another form of “pork”.
Remember to eat seven to nine
servings of fruits and vegetables
every day!

Pepperdine University Fine
Arts Division Mary PickfordStotsenberg Performances
Presents The
Choral Masterworks Concert
Ryan Board, conductor
The Pepperdine University
Fine Arts Division presents its
Choral Masterworks Concert, a
collaboration between the Pepperdine choirs, San Diego State
University Chamber Choir, and
Malibu High School Chamber
Choir in a tribute and benefit concert for the men, women, and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces, at
7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 13,
at the Malibu campus’ Smothers
Theatre.
Tickets, priced at $10 for the
general public, are available now
by calling the Pepperdine Center
for the Arts Box Office at (310)
506-4522 or through Ticketmaster at (800) 982-2787. Information
online: http://arts.pepperdine.edu/
The concert will be conducted
by Ryan Board, director of choral
activities at Pepperdine, and will
include several stand-alone pieces by the various choirs. For the
second half the combined choirs
will perform Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem (“Grant
Us Peace”), a large choral/orchestral work about war and peace
that will feature 200 singers and
instrumentalists on stage.
The text of Dona Nobis Pacem
is taken mostly from Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass and is interspersed with Bible verses and
other texts. Whitman served as a
medic in the American Civil War,
and English composer Vaughan
Williams served as an ambulance
driver in World War I. Both men
set their experiences to verse and
music, and the end result is a remarkably moving piece of music
that, as perhaps no other classical
work does, cries for peace while
simultaneously honoring war veterans.
The Pepperdine Fine Arts Division has teamed with Pepperdine’s Volunteer Center and its
Service-Learning department in
an effort to turn this concert into
a fundraising event for the White
Heart Foundation, an organization that serves veterans.
Ryan Sawtelle, executive director of the White Heart Foundation and a former Pepperdine
graduate, is assembling veterans
to be in attendance at the concert,
as well as helping Pepperdine find
veterans to visit with its choirs
about their wartime experiences,
thereby making the text and music of Dona Nobis Pacem more
meaningful to the choral students.
These visiting veterans include
Ben Host, an Iraq War veteran;
Capt. Charlie Plumb, a Vietnam
War prisoner of war; and Lt. Jim
Kunkle, a World War II pilot.
Professor Mike Murrie of Pepperdine’s Communication Division
has been documenting these visits, with plans to produce a documentary video about the entire
project. Pepperdine English major
Savannah Garrett is researching
the life and poetry of Whitman for
her senior thesis and will contribute notes for the printed concert
program.
Audience members may give
a donation to the White Heart

Yosemite A Mother
Nature Masterpiece
Story & Photos By Stan Wawer
Travel Editor Stan Wawer is
a La Verne resident, a member
of the Society of American Travel
Writers and editor of his own
travel blog, www.travelwithstan.
blogspot.com. Address all travelrelated questions to his blog.
Yosemite National Park
is one of Mother Nature’s
masterpieces, a canvas of
chromatic beauty. Coming
upon Yosemite Valley for
the first time only one word
comes to mind - “Wow!”
More than 3.5 million
visitors come to Yosemite
each year to be awed by
its natural wonders. With
750,000 acres, it is one of
the largest habitat blocks
in central Sierra Nevada,
home to 2,000 varieties of
plants, including rare giant
sequoia groves, and animals, from black bears to
bighorn sheep. There are
literally thousands of lakes
and ponds, 1,600 miles of
streams, geysers and hot
springs, 800 miles of hiking trails and 350 miles of
roads.
Each season brings on a
completely different experience. In the spring, the runoff leaves Yosemite’s waterfalls rushing like the Mad
Hatter on his way to a tea
party.
As the falls smash
against the rocks below,
they produce a spritz-like
effect. Ice flows race toward
self-destruction on the
Merced River. Wildflowers,
which stay through most of
the summer, fill the meadows and the last of winter’s
dandruff melts away on El
Capitan and Half Dome two of the most imposing
monoliths in the world.
Summer offers warm
temperatures and prime
wildlife viewing. Fall is cooler, perfect for hiking, a time
when leafy trees show their
colors. In winter, freezing
conditions invite magnificent ice crystal formations
and skiing and snowshoeing at Badger Pass. Iceskating at Curry Village
has been going on since
1928. Visitors skate in the
shadow of Glacier Point and
Half Dome at this outdoor
Yosemite Valley rink.
The
Yo s e m i t e
Mountaineering School will
celebrate its 44th anniversary this summer. Opening
in 1969 in Yosemite Valley,
it is the most famous school
of rock climbing in the
world. A women’s-only rock
climbing instruction class is
offered.
Getting there: Take
the (Foothill (210)
Freeway to the Golden
State (5) Freeway, connecting to Highway 99
near Bakersfield and then
Highway 41 east through
Oakhurst and into the park.
If you are not a camper,
there are plenty of places to
stay in the area, including
the famous Ahwanee Hotel
in Yosemite Valley, the AAArated Four Diamond Tenaya
Lodge just two miles from
Yosemite’s south entrance,
Yosemite Lodge at the Falls
and Curry Village - also in
the valley - and the Wawona
Hotel, four miles from the
p a r k ’s s o u t h e n t r a n c e .
Excellent and reasonably
priced lodging also is available in Oakhurst, about
20 miles outside the south
entrance.

Periodization is scientifically tried and true and

Periodization involves

Citrus College Theatre
Arts Production Earns
National Honor continued
from page 11
For the first time, a
Citrus College play has
received a “Distinguished
Performance and Production
Ensemble Award” from the
national theater program.
Only eight colleges and
universities in the United
States were selected for this
honor, and of those, only
two were produced by community colleges.
“This award is based on
the overall look of the show,”
explained Cherie Brown,
Citrus College theatre arts
instructor. “It does not single out one specific aspect
of the production, but is all
inclusive. The award highlights both the acting and
the design.”
Based on the true story
of a gay soldier looking for
acceptance after being traumatized by war and rejected
by his family, The Bronze
Star is the result of a collaboration between three
Citrus College departments:
Theater Arts, Social and
Behavioral Sciences, and
the Veteran’s Center.
The concept for the play
dates back to 2004, when
Citrus College History
Instructor Bruce Solheim
decided to write a novel
about his friend Carl who
had recently passed away.
“I began writing the
novel, but nothing seemed
to work. Finally, I hit on
the idea of a theatrical
play and contacted Cherie
Brown in 2010,” Solheim
said. “Cherie liked the idea
and put me in contact with
Neil Weiss, a Citrus College
adjunct theatre arts instructor. Together, we crafted
the story into a play.”
Part of the writing pro-
cess included two readings
of the play in a workshop
format and then a staged
reading at the Citrus College
Haugh Performing Arts
Center. The full production debuted in November
2012. In addition, a scene
was also performed during
the opening reception of
the California Community
College Veterans Summit in
December 2012.
Citrus College entered
The Bronze Star into the
Kennedy Center American
College Theatre Festival as
a “Participating Production.”
By doing this, the production was made eligible for
participation in the regional festival, which was held
at the Los Angeles Theater
Center in downtown Los
Angeles last month.
“The national committee views each production
showcased at the festival,”
Brown said. “It is during
this time that they decide
what awards, if any, each
show deserves.”
In addition to the
“Distinguished Performance
and Production Ensemble
Award,” the 72 students
who comprise the cast and
crew of The Bronze Star
also received “The Golden
Wrench” award for their
efficient set up and tear
down of the production.
Dr. Geraldine M. Perri,
superintendent/president of
Citrus College, believes that
The Bronze Star has been
successful on many levels.
“To achieve such acclaim
with an original script
is phenomenal,” she said.
“This is a wonderful example of what can happen
when several college departments join forces to accomplish a goal. At the same
time, it has provided our
students with the opportunity to become extremely
involved in the creative process and to explore the intricacies of theatre arts.”
Mrs. Susan M. Keith,
president of the Citrus
Community College District
Board of Trustees, agrees.
“The entire college community is proud of what the
cast and crew has accomplished,” she said.
In the future, Brown,
Weiss, and Solheim hope to
produce the show independently. In addition, they are
currently writing a screenplay version of the play.
Whatever the future
holds for The Bronze Star,
Solheim says he is just
happy that the story is
being told.
“Carl’s experiences were
too important to let fade
away,” he said. “This piece
teaches us a valuable lesson
about tolerance and the struggles our veterans go through
when they return home.”
Loyalty, Longevity,
and Flexibility:
Three Employees
Retire from
Vicenti, Lloyd and
Stutzman
March
7,
2013
(Glendora, CA) – Vicenti,
Lloyd & Stutzman announces the retirement of three
beloved employees: Senior
Manager Shari Prosser,
Senior Associate Audrey
Deibel, and Executive
Assistant Janet Loeffler.
Loeffler answered an ad
in the Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin in 1988, joining
the firm’s K12 school audit
division as a typist. The
firm was just beginning to
build a presence in the education market. “Janet was
my first true secretary,”
Co-Managing Partner Linda
Saddlemire said. “She was
by my side while I began my
career and helped our LEA
audit team achieve wonderful growth. She is our audit
report queen.”
When Loeffler first
started at VLS, audit work
papers were prepared by
hand. Partner Tim Evans
said, “Janet has been a fixture at VLS going back to
the days when we would
give her gigantic tapedtogether spreadsheets from
which she typed financial
statements. How she made
any sense out of those
worksheets is beyond me.
Amazingly, she always
manipulated the messes we
gave her into high quality
reports that we were proud
to present to clients.”
Deibel joined VLS in
2000 as an intern. She had
recently graduated from
Cal Poly Pomona, making a
career change from jewelry
store manager to accounting. She brought efficiency
to the audit process with
expert planning and by
completing a great deal of
audit work before visiting
the client. Though many of
her qualities make her well
suited for management,
Deibel made the choice not
to advance from Senior
Associate to Manager. “I
always liked being in the
thick of the audit,” she said.
“I love the creative process of planning the audit,
and that’s the AuditorIn-Charge’s job, not the
Manager’s job.”
Staying in this role kept
Deibel close to the newer
staff. “She has been a star
when it comes to teaching
and helping our employees
grow,” Saddlemire said about
Deibel’s spearheading an
effort to transform the training process for new hires to
make learning auditing easier and more relevant.
Prosser ’s employment with VLS started in
1988, shortly after she met
Saddlemire at a California
Association of School
Business Officials (CASBO)
subcommittee meeting.
Prosser was working at the
Riverside County Office of
Education when Saddlemire
called asking for a reference.
Saddlemire was expanding
the education audit niche
and needed team members
who were well versed in
the business of education.
Evans commented that
Prosser’s “leadership over
the years has been crucial
to our audit business. She
will be sorely missed.”
“Shari has been an
extremely insightful and
conscientious auditor and
our clients have been benefited greatly,” Saddlemire
said. “What I most appreciate from the 24 years of
working together is that
Shari helped me to grow as
Glendora Community News
a partner and a person. Her
honesty and feedback have
been very instrumental in
my growth.”
Vi c e n t i , L l o y d &
Stutzman was recently ranked 15th in its category on the 2012 “Best
Accounting Firms to Work
for” list. This list, which
is presented annually by
Accounting Today and managed by Best Companies
Group, is dedicated to
identifying and honoring
the best employers in the
accounting industry. The
longevity, loyalty and flexibility of Loeffler, Deibel
and Prosser serve as testimonies to VLS’s position on
this list.
For over 59 years,
Vicenti, Lloyd & Stutzman
has provided accounting,
audit, tax and advisory
services to clients throughout the state of California.
