SAN MARINO - Between 70 and 100 trees belonging to members of the defunct South Central Farm are being given temporary shelter at the Huntington Botanical Gardens.

Susan Turner-Lowe, a Huntington spokeswoman, said the boxed trees began arriving on flatbed trucks this week, and deliveries will continue next week.

South Central Farm, which was at 41st and Alameda streets, covered 14 acres, opened in 1992, and was one of the nation's largest urban farms.

The Los Angeles farm was closed in June after the property owner began proceedings to evict the 340 farmers.

The farmers staged an unsuccessful three-week demonstration to save the farm and were joined by actress Daryl Hannah. More than 50 people were arrested during demonstrations, including Hannah.

The Annenberg Foundation raised $16 million to purchase the land, but the owner rejected their offer.

Hannah splashes into dolphin film

She played a mermaid in her most notable film role, "Splash," more than two decades ago, so it's not a stretch for Daryl Hannah to lend her time and talent to the Angel Foundation of Hawai'i's production of "Na Nai'a: The Dolphins," now filming on the Big Island. Hannah's been staying at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa.

Duane "Dog" Chapman's court hearing in Mexico that could set him free or order his pending extradition and criminal case to proceed has been postponed.

Star Power at Play in the Fields of LA's Landlord

"This is not a drill! It's happening! Everybody get up!" was the shouted alarm that awoke Splash movie star Daryl Hannah, scores of farmers and other supporters around 5 a.m., June 13, as the state's boot heel stomped America's largest urban farm. Three hundred-plus LAPD and L.A. County sheriffs raided the 14-acre South Central Farm, to evict 350 mostly Latino and African-American poor families who'd grown food at a community garden there since 1992, following the Los Angeles riots.

The actress, who had been sleeping in a tent on land that grew avocados, mangos, maize and more at 41st and Alameda Streets (south of downtown L.A.), quickly climbed the walnut tree with a rope to take up a post in a platform perched on the so-called "Community Watchtower." Farmers below chained themselves to trees and concrete-filled drums and locked arms in order to hamper their removals.

Wiggins hurt as Stanford rolls to win over Utah

STANFORD — All-American guard Candice Wiggins felt a sharp pain on her final shot of the first half and didn't play in the second half. As it turned out, No.14 Stanford didn't need her.

Jayne Appel scored 15 points and Jillian Harmon added 14 in Stanford's 74-47 victory over Utah on Saturday.

Wiggins scored 13 points as the Cardinal (5-3) won their third straight. Cissy Pierce scored 10.

"(Wiggins) had a sore hamstring, and she said it was OK at halftime," Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. "We need to have it evaluated."

Wiggins told VanDerveer she felt "excruciating pain" when she made a short jumper as time ran out in the first half. She was dressed for the second half but did not play.

Center Brooke Smith, in foul trouble early, was held scoreless for the first time in her Stanford career.

For the record: 12/21/06

If you enjoy "The Barber of Seville," give this "new" Rossini opera a chance. It really is pretty new, since it was premiered incomplete in Naples in 1821 (music from other composers filled out the parts Rossini hadn't yet composed), then with all music by Rossini later that year, and never again until the 1996 Rossini Festival in Pesaro, the city of the composer's birth. One reason for the opera's 175-year neglect is the difficulty of the central tenor role of Cuor di Ferro ("Ironheart"), a cruel medieval misanthrope who is tamed by a clever woman and a brave poet.

At the Pesaro production the tenor canceled and a then-unknown Juan Diego Florez make an unscheduled debut. Now the leading tenor of his time, Florez repeats his part in Pesaro's 2004 revival, with the brilliant French coloratura Annik Massis -- a recent Pittsburgh Opera favorite in "Lucia di Lammermoor" and "La Traviata" -- in the title role.
