El Monte Officials Struggle to Sell Residents on Soda Tax By jim e. winburn After voting last week to place the Sugar Sweetened Beverage Tax measure on the November ballot, the El Monte City Council on Tuesday approved a resolution for an advisory citizen oversight committee that would recommend how these revenues would be spent. But an additional bal-

lot resolution on Tuesday’s agenda, asking to extend Measure GG taxes for another five years, received no enthusiasm from council members after sampling an overwhelming discontent with the sugary-soda ballot initiative through public comments. Please see page 11

Pasadena Officer Accused of Extortion By Terry Miller A new formal complaint alleges Officer Okamoto had “attempted to extort a bribe from an attorney” according to documents received by this newspaper. Attorney Michael Kraut sent a letter of complaint to Chief of Police Phillip Sanchez on July 30 citing allegations that Okamoto attempted to get bribes from a defense council, Attorney Jeffrey Voll. In the complaint, Attorney Michael Kraut says Voll saw Officer Okamono on Dec 9, 2010 and the officer approached Voll about re-arresting his client’s father from a previous case). Voll apparently asked Okamoto under what authority he had to facilitate such a re-arrest. Okamotos’ response was “Hawaii Tickets” In the sworn declaration on July 23, 2012, Voll said “Okamoto advised me that he had worked with private defense lawyers who Please see page 27

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com Letter to the Editor, I would like to start by saying that the City of Temple City remains the best place to live. I believe this because of what I witnessed this past weekend. With only a handful of committee members and 149 participates, the residents of my small town were able to raise over $18,000 for the American Cancer Society by hosting the City’s, first Community Relay For Life

San Gabriel Commissions Begin Work On Greening Its Code By JIM E. WINBURN

social editor Floretta Lauber

fundraiser held at Temple City High School. The people of this wonderful town opened their hearts and wallets to help support survivors, remember love ones lost, and help fund research and services that the American Cancer Society provide. For this I thank you. Who could ask for more than the donation of time, money and services from their community in the fight against Cancer.

The San Gabriel Planning Commission and Design Review Commission organized a workshop on Tuesday to gather community input and priorities on “greening” its code. According to San Gabriel Planning Manager Carol Barrett, the city is updating its cumbersome and unclear zoning code by incorporating principles of sustainability that would make San Gabriel “greener” in terms of open space and development practices. The evaluation and update to the city’s code is being sponsored by a grant from the Southern California Association of Governments, which is promoting the “best practices for zoning provisions” that will help cities to become more resource-efficient, according to urban and regional planners Dyett and Bhatia, who are serving as consultants to the city. The joint-commission event held a workshop exercise that asked participants to identify the most important green issues for the city as well as their own top recommendations. Although only a handful of people turned out to give community input, Barrett said the recommendations from the workshop would still factor into the overall process as far as what green practices should receive priority in the city. “The next step will be to present a summary of the recommendations so that the city can establish priorities,” she said. Based on these priorities, the city will then code-line particular recommendations to be developed. Next, the Planning Commission and City

Updates Presented On Eastside Transit Corridor

Council will hold a series of public hearings on any of these proposed code changes. Martha Miller, who helped facilitate the workshop, tabulated the participants’ recommendations after the exercise and revealed the top three sustainability topics, as being most important to San Gabriel, to be the following: landscaping and water conservation; parking, mobility and connectivity; and water quality. Whereas the top three individually recommended topics were recognizing the Alhambra Wash as a citywide open space amenity; allowing mixed-use development subject to the highest permit level required for any individual use; and allowing alternative parking configurations that provide for efficient use of space. One participant, by the name of Angela, told Barrett that she hopes the city does not ignore those areas of proposed sustainability that did not receive any feedback from participants at the workshop. “There’s a lot of good ideas but which there may not be enough of us here to make a recommen-

dation on,” she said. Barrett said that the exercise is only a way of helping the city to prioritize which areas of sustainability should be actualized into the code. “You can’t get everything done the first time out, so maybe there are some things we’re able to move forward with more quickly, and maybe other things that we’ll take more time in research and development before we’re able to make the final recommendations to council,” she said. According to Barrett, the project will go forward by refining some of these concepts recommended in the workshop and developing these recommendations for implementation. “Some of these are ordinance changes … and other things we’ll be thinking about how to ‘incentivize’,” she said, adding that the project should be complete by April 2013. The Planning Commission will meet next on Monday, Aug. 13, and the Design Review Commission’s next meeting is on Monday, Aug. 27.

moving slowly. Michael looked at the road ahead and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life. Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared out of nowhere through the window, and turned the wheel. Michael, paralyzed with terror, watched as the hand came through the window, but it never touched or harmed him, only turned the wheel. Shortly thereafter, Michael saw the lights of a pub appear down the road, so gathering strength, he jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of breath,

he rushed inside and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he had just had. A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized he was crying...And he wasn't drunk! Suddenly, the door opened and two other people walked in from the dark and stormy night. They, like Michael, were also soaked and out of breath. Looking around and seeing Michael O'Rourke sobbing at the bar, one said to the other..."Look Paddy, there's that fooking idjit that got in the car while we were pushing it!!!"

O'Rourke. The rest is as I was told it. Michael O'Rourke, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a big storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. Michael, desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got into the car and closed the door....only to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn't on. The car started

Bill to Prevent Youth Boot Camp Abuse Continued from page 1

conducted an investigation in which the camp director was charged with kidnapping, child abuse, false imprisonment and sexual assault. That suspect remains in custody. In reaction to this incident, Senator Liu and Assembly member Portantino introduced SB 1089 to ensure licensing and proper regulation of boot camp providers. A number of youth boot camps provide children that struggle with behavioral issues structure and discipline, but the camps are often unregulated. Assembly member Portantino says “It is challenging and often exhausting dealing with a

troubled child –whether their difficulties are emotional, behavioral, or related to substance abuse. As parents, we may think that our children need some tough love, but sometimes these militarystyle boot camps cross the line.” Nationwide, hundreds of unregulated boot camps face thousands of abuse allegations, including death. Portantino continues, “that’s why we need some kind of regulation, some oversight over these camps. There are no federal regulations and at this point, no state regulations for these military-style programs.” SB 1089 will require the

necessary oversight of private organizations and youth boot camps. Senator Liu says that “SB 1089 requires organizations that provide aggressive military style behavior treatment services for at-risk youth to have all components of their programs accredited by an independent accrediting organization approved by the Department of Social Services.” Pasadena’s Chief of Police, Phillip L. Sanchez says “the Pasadena Police Department fully supports SB 1089, in the protection of our youth. This legislation will help regulate and provide parents with licensed boot

camp choices that will assist them in enriching the lives of their children.” “All of us must work together to prevent child abuse. If signed, Senate Bill 1089 will protect youth in boot camps across California,” says Liu. So far, the bill has received undisputed support from the Legislature. For those in support of SB 1089, Senator Liu says “I urge you to contact the members of the Assembly Appropriations Committee and ask for their AYE vote on SB 1089.” This bill will be heard in the Assembly Appropriations committee on August 8th.

Olympics Off to a Great Start - Southland Athletes Bring Back Honor and Gold Medals from London By harry sneider

-Courtesy Photo

If you’ve ever been to an Opening Ceremony in the Olympics you are in for a real treat. London put on a spectacular performance. It was like a movie with tremendous pyrotechnics, humor, great music, and athletes from over 200 nations marching in. This Olympics is very special because this is the third time that London has hosted them. Queen Elizabeth opened the ceremonies by jumping out of

a helicopter to her seat and proclaiming that the 30th modern Games should begin. Beatle Paul McCartney started a dancing craze by singing “Hey Jude”. German Olympians were holding hands with African’s, Muslims were holding hands with Jews; there was unity and harmony in these Olympics which should be depicted throughout the year. We were very excited

to find out that one of the San Gabriel Valley Olympians, Kim Rhode, a shooter, won her fifth Olympic medal and it was GOLD! She missed only one target! Her future looks very bright and we look forward to her returning home with this wonderful achievement. Other Olympians that have shown their winning ways are Alex Morgan in soccer. This attractive soccer player is winning the hearts of many around the world. The wonderful team of Misty May-Treanor and Kerrie Walsh-Jennings are well on their way to another gold in beach volleyball. The men’s volleyball team has an Arcadia High School alumnus. His name is John Speraw. He is an assistant volleyball coach for the Olympic team as well as being the head coach at UCLA. Our son, Rob Sneider, played volleyball with him on a CIF winning team in 1989. As you probably know from previous articles that I was Dwight Stone’s coach; he was an Olympic high jumper from 1972 to 1988. Dwight was a pioneer in jumping high at an advanced age. At age 31 he broke the American record in the Olympic trials by

jumping 7’8”. Our training was injury prevention as well as psychological imagery, goal setting, nutritional advancements, Olympic lifting, and outstanding chiropractic care with Dr. Leroy Perry and other specialists that kept Dwight jumping high at an advanced age. Today to take Dwight’s place is a very enthusiastic young man by the name of Jesse Williams. We have worked together with Jesse in Dwight’s Champion’s Camp. Jesse is a great believer in short sprints, Olympic lifting, and plyometric drills as well as having great confidence in his skills. When asked how he will do in the 2012 Olympics he said, “I feel I can jump over the Empire State Building.” He’s one of the shortest jumpers to jump over 7’9 ¼”. We predict he’ll come back with a medal. The Olympics are a great education for all of us. They teach us to: 1. Have desire. 2. Set a goal. 3. Believe you can. 4. Ask God to help. 5. Get a great team around you. 6. Persevere. 7. You’re a winner! Pick up your medal in life. Harry Sneider can be reached at 626-355-8964 or harrysneider@earthlink.net.

back yard. Rhode also equaled a World Record during the competition with 99 out of 100 targets hit. A new Olympic record. Capturing her third gold medal, Kim Rhode became the first American to win an individual medal in five consecutive Olympics by dominating the competition in the women’s skeet shooting Sunday in London. Rhode also set an Olympic record and tied a world record by hitting 99 of the 100 targets that were fluttering in the air. She defeated the Chinese silver medalist by eight shots. “Just the achievement alone, it really hits you – wow, this is real, you did it,” Rhode told reporters after she won. “It’s overwhelming. Every emotion is hitting me all at once right now. When I was at Station 6, it was all I could do to keep from crying. The record, the history, it’s all amazing.” The 33-year-old Rhode plans on competing in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and when the subject of retirement comes up, she is quick to point out that the oldest Olympic medalist in history was a shooter in 72-year-old Oscar Swahn of Sweden. Swahn won the silver medal in 1920 in Antwerp, Belgium. Beacon Media was incontact with her parents in London on Monday, Sharon and Richard Rhode told us late Monday ( actually Tuesday in the UK): “We’re so proud of our daughter and what she’s accomplished. It just such a proud moment to see her standing on the podium, with our hand over our hearts and our National Anthem playing. It’s hard to describe the

emotions of the moment. As soon as she realized that she had won, Kim had the biggest smile on her face. She was fighting back tears

“It's hard to describe the emotions of the moment”

- Sharon and Richard Rhode as she completed the last few stations and said she was concerned that she would not be able to see the targets. For the last day and a half she has been very busy with media interviews and today (Tuesday) she is back at the range training for her trap event on Saturday. She thanks everyone in Monrovia (where she

lives) and in El Monte (where she grew up) for their support.” City of El Monte,” Mayor Andre Quintero told this newspaper that the city is “so proud of Kim Rhode for all her greatness and grateful to her for always being a humble ambassador for the city. “Kim’s story is about hope, achievement and success. On behalf of the City Council, I congratulate her and wish her continued success.” Rhode, who attended El Monte’s Arroyo High School, won gold medals in double trap shooting in 2004 in Athens and in 1996 in Atlanta. She also won the bronze medal in 2000 in Sydney. Besides now winning three Olympic gold medals, she is also a six-time national champion in double trap. Rhode resides in Monrovia.

Local and California Realtors® Urge Passage of the Fast Help for Homeowners (FHFH) Act The Arcadia Association Of Realtors® (A.A.R.) is supporting and urging the swift passage of The Fast Help For Homeowners (FHFH) Act, a short sale bill that will require subordinate lien holders to respond to short sale offers within 45 days. The FHFH Act was introduced today by Congressman Jerry McNerney (D-Stockton). “C.A.R. applauds Congressman McNerney for introducing this commonsense piece of legislation,” said 2012 A.A.R. President Ryan Asao. “California Realtors® support the FHFH Act because it will require

subordinate lien holders to respond to short sale offers in a fair and reasonable amount of time, ensuring distressed properties are brought to market and aiding in the recovery of the general economy. “Short sale transactions are difficult as is,” added Asao. “When subordinate lien holders refuse to respond to offers, additional unnecessary barriers to homeownership are created. The FHFH Act will eliminate this major hurdle.” Early findings from a recent lender satisfaction survey conducted by the California Association of Realtors®

(C.A.R.) found that nearly half of all properties sold as short sales in California had subordinate liens. Additionally, communicating with the holders of the subordinate liens often created obstacles to closing these transactions. Representing local Realtors® in the San Gabriel Valley for 88 years, the Arcadia Association Of Realtors® (www.TheAAR.com) is one of the oldest trade organizations in CA. The AAR is dedicated to the advancement of professionalism in real estate and is an advocate for private property rights. A.A.R. is headquartered in Arcadia.

by Anne Donofrio-Holter reation Camper Scholarship program received $1,000 which will benefit two Arcadia students. Arroyo Pacific Academy students, Maggie Deagon, who will be attending USC, and Max Daniel Johnson, who will attend UC Berkley, each received a $500 scholarship. “I want to thank you for partnering in the success of the Arcadia Rotary Club this past year,” said Eric Barter, Arcadia Rotary Club president. “Your contributions are much appreciated and greatly benefit the com-

munity.” Following the presentation, the organization installed its board for the 2012-2013 year. They are President Paula Real, Aide to the President Kathy Swensson, Vice President Ana Ojeda, Treasurer Carol Stromsoe, Recording Secretary Barbara Barnes, Corresponding Secretary Ceci Miles, Ongoing Projects Patsy Harbicht and Joanne McCallum, Past President Julie Miller, Parliamentarian Gail Jensen and Publicity Denice Masterson.

United States Department of State and Pasadena Police Department Sign Memo of Understanding (MOU)

Browfield talks with Officer Calatayud 111 while Chief Sanchez looks on. -Photo by Terry Miller

On Wednesday, July 25, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) William R. Brownfield and City of Pasadena, Chief of Police Phillip L. Sanchez signed a partnership agreement in city council chambers. This partnership agreement between INL and Pasadena Police “enables INL to utilize the knowledge and expertise of active serving police officers to train, advise, and mentor foreign law enforcement personnel as part of the Department of State’s numerous foreign assistance programs to further civilian security,” according to a press

release issued by the city of Pasadena on Monday. Assistant Secretary Brownfield recognized the Pasadena Police Department for its recent assistance to the Department of State in sending one of Pasadena’s police officers to support INL’s police programs in Jamaica where the officer advised the U.S. Embassy and Jamaica’s Constabulary Police Force. The officer, E. Calatayud 111, was recognized by staff and dignitaries for his time in the Caribbean. Calatayud, a 24-year veteran of the force, “was able to offer [Jamaica] the experience of a major U.S. police department in dealing with basic, funda-

mental police work,” Brownfield said. “What might have taken me years to accomplish he could do in a matter of weeks.” Ambassador William R. Brownfield was sworn in as Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs on January 10, 2011. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Brownfield served as U.S. Ambassador to Colombia from August 2007 until August 2010. “I do not have to explain to you how gangs who have their origins in other countries … have an impact on your streets in Pasadena,” the charismatic and eloquent Brownfield told the small handful of media at the press conference late Wednesday. Before serving in Colombia, Ambassador Brownfield served as U.S. Ambassador to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Republic of Chile. His first assignment after joining the Foreign Service in 1979 was in Maracaibo, Venezuela. Ambassador Brownfield’s other overseas postings also include Counselor for Humanitarian Affairs in Geneva

and assignments in Argentina and El Salvador. He was temporarily assigned as Political Adviser to the Commanderin-Chief, U.S. Southern Command in Panama 1989-90. In Washington, Ambassador Brownfield’s assignments have included Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs (WHA), Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), Executive Assistant in the Bureau of Inter-American Affairs, Member of the Secretary’s Policy Planning Staff, and Special Assistant to the Under Secretary for Political Affairs. “The collaboration between the Pasadena Police Department and the State Department INL program highlights the talented and skilled officers within the agency. This partnership enhances the advancement of international training,” said Chief of Police Phillip L. Sanchez. Elizabeth Vuna, representing Rep. Adam Schiff (DBurbank) read a statement from Schiff saying that Calatayuo’s visit was among “the

first steps towards enhanced law enforcement cooperation between the United States and Jamaica … that will result in less crime and drugs on our streets.” Not everyone agrees with the State Dept.’s attempt to get drugs off the streets and the so called ‘ war on drugs.’ In an OpEd piece published by OpEd News.com, journalist John Grant strongly disagrees with the tactics employed under Brownfield’s command. “William Brownfield is a major architect in the current linkage between the failed Drug War and the War On Terror. He may succeed in making it an even greater failure in the future. Brownfield has been Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement since January 20 of last year. Before that, he was the US ambassador to Colombia; and before that, he was the US ambassador to Venezuela, where he was notorious for taunting President Hugo Chavez. Mr. Brownfield attended the National War College, and he speaks Spanish with a pronounced Texas accent. He reportedly considers him-

self a Texan -- though, like George W. Bush, he was not born in Texas and has lived much of his life elsewhere. It seems being a "Texan" is a state of mind, especially visa-vis Latin America which has been Brownfield's area of interest. He's now looking to expand his war-making efforts into Africa. It's clear that Mr. Brownfield isn't one of those striped pants diplomats from foggy bottom determined to keep tempers from reaching the boiling point. He doesn't seem burdened by doubt, and he seems comfortable strategizing for war.” Grant told his readers July 23. INL has established relationships with state and local law enforcement, corrections, prosecutorial, and other specialized justice sector institutions to “leverage their expertise in support of the Department of State’s foreign assistance goals.” The State Department pays the salaries of state and local offiRE cers while they areDUdeployed.

Worker Electrocuted While Trimming Tree in Arcadia Saturday Morning On Saturday, July 28, 2012, at 10:56 a.m., Arcadia Fire Department responded to a tree fire with a person trapped in the tree in the 1400 block of Orlando Drive in the City of Arcadia. Engine 107, Truck 105, Rescue Ambulance 106, and Battalion 105, responded to the scene. “Upon arrival, firefighters witnessed a palm tree fire with a tree trimmer, who appeared to have been electrocuted, harnessed approximately 20 feet up in the blazing tree. Within moments of arrival the fire burned through the harness and the tree trimmer fell

to the ground. The 31-yearold male victim was pronounced dead at the scene.” Beth Sogner, spokeswoman for Arcadia Fire Dept., said in a statement over the weekend. Southern California Edison Company (SCE) and CALOSHA were immediately requested to the scene. Suppression measures were hampered by energized power lines creating heavy arcing in the area. A small vegetation fire was also ignited to the rear of an adjoining residence in the 1400 block of Oaklawn Road.

Electricity was been shut off to the neighborhood while firefighters extinguished the remaining fire . Arcadia Police are continuing their investigation. A 35-year-old Azusa man, Constancio Hernandez-Romero was identified Wednesday as the victim of Saturday’s accident. This is the second area tree trimming fatalityin as many years. Roque Valdez, 48, of Monrovia was killed while trimming a tree in the 2100 block of South Goodall Avenue in Duarte on April 19, 2011.

Lawton. “Neighbors meet neighbors - and

citizens and local law enforcement have the opportunity to enhance their relationships.” Events take place in Monrovia, Arcadia, Sierra Madre, Pasadena and Temple City. Rosemead and many other are cities also plan activites for next Tuesday. Contact your local city hall for times and locations.

Agreeing to forego a resolution to ask voters to extend the existing halfcent general transactions and use tax from 2014 to 2019, Mayor Pro Tem Juventino Gomez wanted to assure residents that he was listening to their concerns. “We are working very hard to make sure that we keep above water and we don’t go through what other cities are going through,” he said. “But having said that, … I do not support extending Measure GG or for even sending it out to the voters.” But El Monte officials jumped on the sugary-soda tax at their Jul. 24 meeting with the hopes of finding a remedy to the city’s financial problems. If approved by voters, the sugary-soda tax would add a one-cent tax per ounce to the price of sugar-sweetened drinks sold in El Monte. Former Councilman Art Barrios challenged the City Council’s intention behind the tax initiative, which is to supposedly help eliminate obesity in children. “If that is true, then you should be taking all of the money and putting it into Parks and Recs,” Barrios told the council.

“Open the swimming pool all year long. Open the parks all year long. Give baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and sports of all kinds every day - not just the money going to the general fund.” Concerned resident Jane Myring also called the council out on the perceived hypocrisy over the city’s role in addressing obesity in children. “When it comes down to sugary sodas, I think that is a parent’s responsibility, not the city’s,” said Myring. “You’re taking away something from our city, and you’re telling a parent what you want them to do. I just think that the parents have to be responsible (for this issue), not the city.” Small business owners also turned out at Tuesday’s meeting to argue that the sugary-soda tax would damage El Monte’s economy. Arthur Meyer, owner of Art’s Take Out Burgers, said small businesses like his own will suffer because consumers will simply take their business to other cities. “You’re going to be making more taxes than the State of California on sales tax,” Meyer said,

pointing out that customers would be paying 44 cents to the city on a 44-ounce soda, while the state will be receiving 16 cents on that same soda. “How can you make more money on a product than they (the state) can?” The council briefly discussed how small business owners would be impacted by the soda tax if passed by voters. But no present consensus was formed on how to protect small businesses. Mayor Andre Quintero proposed that the council hold off on this issue until city staff could provide additional clarity on the potential impact of the soda tax. “If it gets to that point of implementation, I think at that point it would be most appropriate to have the business community weigh in again on this issue, again, if it passes. And then we can work out the finer points.” The City Council voted to declare a fiscal emergency at its Jul. 24 meeting, allowing the approval for a special election for the tax measure. El Monte normally holds its city elections in November of oddnumbered years.

Local author transports us into another world, bringing to life the magic of elves and the clash of vampires in this new fantasy fiction trilogy. Monrovia resident and creative 22 year old, Ashley Catherine Howie, transports us into the land of Elayia and the elves, men and many others struggling to survive the silent war against the wrath of the vampires in her recently published The Butterfly Pendant, the first book in the trilogy eight years in the making. The Butterfly Pendant is the first book in the new fantasy fiction trilogy that takes us on a wild ride following a girl name Sarah

a trilogy. When she isn’t writing or cooking, Ashley can be found at the local Renaissance Faire acting in the 4D theater or in her garden where she grows vegetables and prepares healthy meals for her family and friends. The Butterfly Pendant is a great read for ages 13 to 18 but hits the hearts of those who enjoy the fantasy fiction genre. The adventure, tension between characters and Andala’s ultimate decision in the fate of their world keeps the reader sitting on the edge, wanting more. The landscape of the world of Elayia elates the mind with silver leaves, red trees and butterflies the size of eagles. Elves, dwarves, darthans, fairies and more share the land working together to survive against a common enemy, the vampires. Coming in during the night, the vampires drain the blood of their victims leaving them unaware of their imminent death and plaguing the land with a silent fear. The future of Elayia rests on the shoulders of Andala. Both adults and children will enjoy this book. You can find it at the publisher’s website www. blackrosewritingbooks. com or amazon.com.

The key and an Elvin princess, Sarah quickly finds herself responding to her Elvin name Andala and must embrace becoming who she was always meant to be in order for the prophecy to come true. Ashley Catherine Howie brings to life the lost love for elves and gore of the vampires that fantasy fiction admirers adore.

She attended Annunciation School In Arcadia from Kindergarten to Eighth Grade. From there, she went to La Salle High School in Pasadena where she graduated in 2008. The idea for the Butterfly Pendant started with a map and a language she invented when she was 13 years old and from there, it continued to flourish to what it is today.

Team CrossFit Academy in Monrovia to Host Annual Workout to Remember Fundraiser For Fallen Military Servicemen Killed Aug 6, 2011

Team CrossFit Academy’s Eric LeClair. -Photo by Terry Miller

On August 4 this year, athletes at Team CrossFit Academy in Monrovia and around the world will gather at their CrossFit affiliates to complete a grueling partner workout that has become an annual tradition and fundraiser to honor fallen military heroes. After a helicopter crash in Afghanistan killed 31 service members on August 6, 2011, The 31Heroes Project was created to honor the men and support their families. In its first annual workout, just

four weeks after the crash, over 10,000 people participated and over $300,000 was raised and given directly to the affected families. This year, funds raised will go even further, supporting programs for surviving military families. Each step in the workout bears special significance for the tragedy on August 6, 2011. It is 31 minutes long, providing one minute in remembrance for each life lost, the rep scheme, 8-6-11, corresponds to the date of the crash, and the cooperative

nature of a partner workout signifies how the men were from multiple branches of the military, working together as a team. “We realize that no physical sacrifice made during a workout can come close to the sacrifice these men made,” says Mackenzie TobinPadell, co-founder of The 31 Heroes Project, “but we consider this workout a Cross Fitters’ ‘moment of silence.” “This “Workout To Remember” is close to our hearts as most of the Staff and a handful of the members of the Academy are former US Military and have been deployed in support of both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom,” said Coach Eric LeClair, TEAM CrossFit Academy affiliate owner, Level III Instructor and former Sergeant in the military. “This is a unique event exposed participants to a challenging workout that will leave them proud… proud of the workout and

even prouder that they did something to benefit the families of our lost heroes.” TEAM CrossFit Academy is a 7,000sq ft. Strength and Conditioning Facility dedicated to serving all individuals from local Monrovia residents, to Monrovia Unified School District’s CIF Championship Football Team, to most local Police and Fire Departments

For a registration fee of $31, anyone can sign up to participate at a hosting affiliate or to complete the workout on their own. Funds collected will be disbursed to Snowball Express, the Travis Manion Foundation, and the affected families of the 2011 crash. For more information on The 31Heroes Project, including the location of a participating

CrossFit affiliate and instructions on how to register for the WOD or simply donate to the cause, visit www.31heroes.com. Contact Eric LeClair at (626) 241 - 6096 for more details. The Academy is located at 130 E. Walnut Avenue Monrovia. The 31Heroes Project is a 501(c)3 provisional nonprofit organization.

Garden of Goodwill in Sierra Madre Continued from page 1

help from his friends , funds from the Garden of Goodwill and lots of volunteers, re-worked the irrigation system and got the pond back into the magnificent shape it is in now, with healthy, happy Koi swimming around the elaborate pond. However, Watanabe told the Weekly he’d be grateful if someone could backwash the pond as his long time volunteer, Glen Wingate, recently moved to Colorado. There are many volunteers who help maintain this unique project. One year ago Debbie Henderson gave an overview of Japanese American community in Sierra Madre and their garden gift last year during a special 80th celebration. Mitsuo Kunihiro discussed school days at Sierra Madre circa 1930s and talked about how the garden came to be the Japanese garden and ultimately the ‘Garden of Goodwill’ at Sierra Madre School. Natalie Sandoval also spoke about school days at Sierra Madre in the 1990s, the subsequent rediscovery of the historic Japanese garden and how students got into restoring the lost treasure that was destroyed as a direct result of bigotry and hatred of Japanese Americans post Pearl Harbor. Teacher Helen Pontarelli told visitors last year how the garden has become an unexpected, emergent curriculum at the school and fundraising parent, Linda Sandoval explained how the children at Sierra Madre school help raise funds for the garden’s upkeep. An extraordinary venture indeed. And of course, no event at the Garden of Goodwill would be complete without Lew Watanabe. Lew Watanabe is one of those rare individuals who has, over

a great many years, volunteered his own time, money and expertise in restoring and expanding the garden along with a help from his friends in Sierra Madre and surrounding community. A couple Middle School Service Club Students will also share about work on the garden and future plans. The original Japanese garden was built in 1931 by the parents of Japanese American students. The carefully constructed and peaceful garden was vandalized and completely destroyed by adults who over-reacted to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The sixth grade class of 1995 read about Sierra Madre’s history and discovered an article in the Los Angeles Times which described a garden at their school. Upon reading the Times piece, the students decided to restore it, undertook a massive fundraising and labor effort to do just that. The students held car washes, bake sales, wrote letters, and sold origami cranes among other things to fund the reconstruction. They also performed the physical labor digging the bridge out of the mud and excavated the garden. Enter Japanese-American community member, Lew Watanabe. Lew became a central figure for the ambitious project. As a landscape gardener and unique Watanabe designed the new garden and led the reconstruction. Through sales and donations, students were able to raise enough money to rebuild the garden. On Sunday, February 4, 1995, the Japanese Garden was officially dedicated. The ceremony included 17 members of the class of 1931 and

their teacher. The dedication ceremony included Taiko drumming, dancing, and a karate demonstrations. The garden is aptly named – Garden of Goodwill. In Sierra Madre there is a unique volunteer spirit, perhaps quite unlike any other city. Kids and parents put together a massive volunteer effort to keep the garden clean and on Veterans Day last year and learned what happened to Japanese Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor – also what became of many of those who were sent to internment camps as a direct result of the military action. Japanese-American internment was the move and internment by the United States government in 1942 of about 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese who lived along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called “War Relocation Camps,” in the wake of Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. The internment of Japanese Americans was applied unequally throughout the United States. Japanese Americans who lived on the West Coast of the United States were all interned, while in Hawaii, where more than 150,000 Japanese Americans composed over one-third of the territory’s population, 1,200 to 1,800 Japanese Americans were interned. Of those interned, 62% were American citizens. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt(FDR) authorized the internment with Executive Order 9066, issued February 19, 1942, which allowed local military commanders to designate “military areas” as “exclusion zones,” from which “any or all persons may be excluded.” This power was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the entire Pacific coast, including all of California and most of Oregon and Washington, except for those in internment camps. In 1988, Congress passed and President Ronald Reagan signed legislation which apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government. The legislation said that government actions were based on “race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership”. The U.S. government eventually disbursed more Please see page 18

emony, Portantino’s longstanding commitment to Project Amiga’s mission of helping young men and women in need was recognized by receiving the Esperanza Award. Deseree Portillo Rabinov, daughter of the late Irene Esparza Portillo, highlighted Anthony’s support for Project Amiga and presented him with his recognition. For nearly 20 years, Project Amiga has provided bilingual vocation education, training and support to young people in the San Gabriel Valley and East Los Angeles. They provide financial literacy, parenting classes,

computer training and job readiness training. It was started by Irene Esparza Portillo initially to help young women in need. Later it expanded its efforts to help all young people in the San Gabriel Valley and East Lost Angeles. “Knowing Irene’s 50 years of activism - helping create a movement while helping individuals - makes this one of the most special recognitions I’ve received. Project Amiga and Irene have helped so many Californians in need that I was very excited to be there Sunday when Irene’s legacy was celebrated,” commented Portantino.

Cameron’s Seafood Offers Summer Delicacies Every Summer Cameron’s Seafood (1978 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, 91107) features a salmon lover’s favorite: wild-caught salmon from the 300 mile Copper River migration route in Alaska. The menu offers it grilled, but you can have them cook it a variety of ways. This fillet has a remarkable flavor and texture, and is only available while supplies last—maybe

another couple of weeks. Another seasonal favorite is soft-shell crab, which will be available for a short time longer. Brand new to the menu is fresh Mediterranean Sea Bass, known locally as “Branzini.” This flakey and meaty white fillet is very light and moist. Grilled and served over sautéed vegetables, it has a delicate flavor that is per-

fect for a light lunch or late dinner. As always, Cameron’s serves their regular menu of a multitude of fish, shellfish, chowder, chicken and steaks. But for something special, visit soon for one of the three celebrated summer selections. Open daily for lunch and dinner, and Sunday brunch. For reservations or more information call 626793-3474.

Duarte Councilman Phil Reyes Votes Against Declaring Fiscal Emergency By Arianna LocatelL A tax measure on the Nov. 6 ballot that would add up to a half-percentage point to the sales tax failed Tuesday night during a vote at the regular city council meeting. Councilman Phil Reyes was against declaring a fiscal emergency that would have cleared the way for a sales tax measure on the ballot. The city will now have to find other sources of rev-

enue which will ultimately mean more cuts. Closing their public safety office on Fridays, reducing their graffiti removal contract, reducing youth and senior services, and postponing their tree-trimming services, the city has made numerous cuts to the already strapped city budget. There were two considerations for the city sales

tax: one would add a quarter-percent to the tax and generate $1 million a year, the other would add a halfpercent and generate $2 million. If voters had the opportunity to approve the sales tax initiative, it would have allowed the city to restore their recently-cut public services and it would prevent future cuts according to city officials.

than $1.6 billion in reparations to Japanese Americans who had been interned and their heirs. The lesson learned is that of tolerance and how things like prejudice can overwhelm a nation. The similarity of the anti-Muslim racism today is not lost on these young minds. Teachers such as Helen Pontarelli are helping the students realize that tolerance of our differences is critical and compromise is the only solution to such matters. The Upper Campus Service Club (which tends to the gardens) was started about six years ago by a parent who wanted the new middle school to have some of the same opportunities as established middle schools in the Pasadena Unified School district – the current project of the service club is the care and maintenance one of Sierra Madre’s true historic monuments.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

San Gabriel Man Arrested for Marijuana Cultivation

-Courtesy Photo

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Narcotics Bureau detectives received information about marijuana being grown at two homes in Hacienda Heights. Investigation of the information revealed that Suspect

Zhichi Xu, male Asian/42, of San Gabriel, was the person responsible for operating and financing the marijuana grow houses, located in the 3300 block of Glennmark Drive, Hacienda Heights, and the 14800 block of Rockhill Drive, Hacienda Heights . At 7:00 A.M. on Tuesday, July 31, 2012, Narcotics Bureau detectives executed service of a search warrant at the two Hacienda Heights locations. Inside of both homes, elaborate marijuana grow systems were discovered and more than 1,400 marijuana plants in various stages of growth were recovered. Another search warrant was served at Suspect Xu’s residence, located in the 1300 block of Elm Av-

enue, San Gabriel, where United States currency and other evidence were recovered. The marijuana plants are valued at approximately $5,000,000.00. Investigation also revealed that the electricity used at the grow houses to cultivate the marijuana was stolen from energy supply company, Southern California Edison. A representative from Southern California Edison responded to the location and estimated the value of the stolen electricity to be over $125,000.00. Suspect Xu was arrested for Possession of Marijuana for Sales and booked at Temple Sheriff’s Station, in lieu of $100,000 bail.
