A notice we just received from Supv. Antonovich's office:

LOS ANGELES COUNTY — Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich has appointed Ms. Barbara Yvonne Bigby to the Los Angeles County Sybil Brand Commission for Institutional Inspections.

A resident of Altadena, Ms. Bigby was the past owner and operator of the Bright-Eye Day Care Center for over 30 years.  She is an active member of her community, serving as President of the Altadena Chapter of the NAACP, which has played a major role in bridging a positive relationship between the community and the Altadena Sheriff’s Station.

She is also a member of the African American Advisory Committee for the Pasadena City College, and on the Altadena Community Center Advisory Board.

Members of the Sybil Brand Commission for Institutional Inspections visit and inspect Los Angeles County jails, lock-ups, and probation and correctional facilities, examining every department of each institution to ascertain the effectiveness of the administration, cleanliness, and discipline and comfort of its inmates.
