On Wednesday, Scientists at JPL gave the Media a tour of their “Mars Yard” where Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineers and scientists are testing engineering models of NASA’s Curiosity rover in a sandy, Mars-like environment.

NASA’s Mars Odyssey spacecraft has successfully adjusted its orbital location to be in a better position to provide prompt confirmation of the August landing of the Curiosity rover. NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft carrying Curiosity can send
limited information directly to Earth as it enters Mars’ atmosphere. Before the landing, Earth will set below the Martian horizon from the descending spacecraft’s perspective, ending that direct route of communication. Odyssey will help to speed up the indirect communication
Kensington Project Finally Passes Muster with City of Sierra Madre BY JIM E. WINBURN Having received the blessing of the City Council, the Kensington Assisted Living Facility now goes to the popular vote of the people of Sierra Madre. The Sierra Madre City Council on Tuesday carefully scrutinized the proposed Nov. 6 ballot language for an initiative to amend Measure V that would exempt the Kensington from the law’s density restrictions. After approving the language and other resolutions to put it on the November ballot, council members also unanimously approved the Kensington project’s

Specific Plan, the Municipal Code Text Amendment, and the developer’s Conditional Use Permit. Avoiding any possibility of a so-called “bait and switch” on their watch, council members reviewed the ballot language carefully, being most concerned with a clear and concise ballot question that would leave no chance for misleading the voters. In particular, Councilman John Harabedian questioned the effect of the very broad phrase “consistent

process. NASA reported during a July 16 news conference that Odyssey, which originally was planned to provide a near-real-time communication link with Curiosity, had entered safe mode July 11. This situation would have affected communication op-
erations, but not the rover’s landing. Without a repositioning maneuver, Odyssey would have arrived over the landing area about two minutes after Curiosity landed. A spacecraft thruster burn Tuesday, July 24, lastPlease see page 15
3 Separate Helicopter Rescues in 1 Hour, Angeles Forest - July 13 Helicopter rescue crew deputies from Los Angeles County Sheriff's Air Rescue 5, responded to and ultimately rescued two injured hikers and one person trapped on a sheer cliff in the Angeles National Forest within just over an hour starting at 1:00PM. The rescues occurred in two popular recreational areas in the Angeles National Forest approximately 15 miles apart on Friday, July 13th. The first rescue occurred at Eaton Falls Friday, July 13th, when a male adult from Pasadena fell 80 feet and landed on
the canyon floor north of Altadena. He sustained moderate trauma injuries and was treated by Sheriff's Emergency Services Detail paramedics and hoisted up into the aircraft.

It’s 1979 at Ambassador College in Pasadena, California. There’s a knock on my door. I open the door and see a statuesque young student holding a shot put in one hand and the Bible in the other. She says, “Coach Sneider, you are an Olympic coach training some of the greatest athletes in the world. I came all the way out here from New York to train with you for the Olympics.” I told her that she had the drive and the enthusiasm of a world class athlete. Ambassador College emphasized a very balanced program of theology, service, and developing your unlimited human potential in other areas. She came to the track almost daily to mingle with the likes of Dwight Stones, Olympic high jumper; James Butts, Olympic triple jumper; Doug Nordquist, Olympic high jumper; Dan Ripley, Olympic pole vaulter, and other great athletes preparing for the 1980 Olympics. She was our very enthusiastic pupil and became a world class Olympic trainer. Sarah and I attended a wonderful fund-raiser in
Beverly Hills at Marty & Deena Singer’s home to raise money to help Lee get to London. Marty is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s entertainment attorney. His wife Deena is one of Lee Brandon’s clients. This wonderful couple opened their doors to us and others including three great Olympians training with Lee. They were Markus Rogan from Austria who has won two silver medals in previous Olympics, Omar Pinon from Columbia, their top swimmer, and Dominik Meichtry from Switzerland who has the distinction of beating Michael Phelps in a preliminary race. Dominik tells an interesting story of how he defeated the great Phelps. Thirty minutes before he was ready to go into the pool to race, he was very hungry which is not unusual for swimmers as they consume up to 10,000 calories a day to maintain their energy level. Dominik asked Phelps’ coach Bob Bowman for a PowerBar. He gulped the bar down, got on the starting blocks and out swam the great Phelps. Dominik getting out of the pool was

I have a good sense of humor but no matter how hard I laugh, life is still just one damn thing after another. Speaking of which, I need brakes. No, not on my car, on my scales. When I step on them that pointer is like a certain bunny we all know. It just keeps going and going. Speaking of cars. I picked my friend up at the auto repair. She was there because sometimes when she turns the starter thingamajig, it makes a terrible squawk. The mechanic said
the fly wheel is shot. Now why does a car need a fly wheel? Cars don't fly. Speaking of fly, I swallowed a little white one. My back yard is full of them. I have to keep my mouth shut all the way from the back door to the garage. Speaking of my mouth, the dentist says I have a cracked filling which can't be replaced. It needs a crown. No, no. Neither my tooth nor my wallet are royalty, so we'll skip the crown. We'll just pull the tooth and I'll cope with the hole. Speaking of a hole, a skunk dug one under our porch. We can't close the hole because she had babies. They never all come out at one time but even if they did, I couldn't close the hole. I couldn't put them on the rolls of the homeless. Of course, if a stray cat scares her, I may be homeless.
Speaking of stray cats, we have some in our neighborhood. That is very sad. My neighbor and I can't bear the thought of them being hungry, so we feed them. To show their gratitude, they all want to claim us for their very own so they pee and repee on our tires. Sometimes we think a little skunk juice might smell good. Speaking of smell, why is it people lose their sense of smell just when they earn enough money to buy perfume? I hate it when they douse themselves so heavily you smell them coming, going, and after they're gone. Speaking of coming and going, my husband is coming in so I better get going. I have to cook his dinner. Yeah, life is just one damn thing after another. With a sense of humor, you enjoy it more.

El Monte to Put One-Cent Sugary Drink Ballot Measure on November Ballot At a time when cities throughout California are still feeling the stifling effects of a slow economic recovery, the city of El Monte is working to find nontraditional funding sources. But in this case, the funding source may also help battle high tendencies for Type2 Diabetes among local residents. On Tuesday, the City Council voted unanimously to put a measure on the city ballot that will ask voters to impose a one centper-ounce tax on sugary drinks sold within the city. It is estimated the measure could bring in $3.5-7 million in funds. At the same time, the city expects this move will also benefit the community from a health and wellness standpoint by creating discussion about the negative impacts sugary drinks are having on residents’ health. The Council also added the following components: The City would have the option to impose a business license fee on wholesale distributors or the local retail stores. Funding would be reviewed by an El Monte advisory committee. The ballot would include a companion measure to give voters an opportunity to determine how the funds will be spent. “We’re looking at
the possibility of addressing two issues here,” said El Monte Mayor Andre Quintero. “Our residents are disproportionately feeling the impacts of drinking soda and juices that are causing them to have heart attacks, strokes and contract Type2 Diabetes. This is a significant issue for our community and we need to start driving that discussion. At the same time, the lagging economy is creating a budget deficit that could negatively impact, among other things, our recreation programs, which contribute to a healthy community. By asking residents to approve this measure, our community will be moving in a positive direction toward reducing obesity and improving our health.” A recent report by the California Center for Public Health Advocacy (CCPHA) found that more than half – 50.2% - of El Monte’s children have been classified as overweight or obese. This finding has the city ranking ninth highest in childhood obesity in the state, where the average is 38%. Studies have also directly linked recent increases in obesity to the increased consumption of sugary drinks. “Sugary drinks are the leading contributors to the obesity epidemic,” said Harold Goldstein, DrPH,
Executive Director of the CCPHA. “One 20-ounce soda is equal to 16 teaspoons of sugar. That’s like drinking 22 packets of sugar in one glass. Studies suggest that as much as half of the obesity epidemic has come consuming sugary drinks – and that is having a devastating impact on the health of our communities.” The city this fiscal year faced a $1.1 million deficit in its $50.5 million general fund budget. The elimination of its redevelopment agency and a reduction in state and federal funding have created financial challenges for the city. To absorb these challenges, the city has streamlined staff size, employees have made salary concessions, the City Council reduced its benefits by 15%, and the city is now talking about further reducing all city departments by 6.5%. But these reductions are not enough. In order to get on the ballot, the City Council needed to vote unanimously to put the initiative before voters in November. The city also needed to declare a “State of Fiscal Emergency” – a mechanism needed since there are no city elections set for November. This form of “State of Fiscal Emergency” is legally different from the form that was declared by San Bernardino
last week. This version is NOT a short term restructuring in preparation for bankruptcy filing. In fact, El Monte has a balanced budget. El Monte is solvent and can pay their bills. But El Monte is in need of a significant infusion of funds over the next 2-3 years due to a series of revenue hits that will come to fruition during that same period, including the sunset of a half-cent city sales tax, deferred salary/COLA set for 2015, unfunded medical liabilities, and ongoing increases in the delivery of public safety. The total hit is estimated at about $7.5 million. “The challenges we are facing are significant,” said Assistant City Manager Jesus Gomez. “We are working to preserve the services our community needs and deserves. But we can only keep the city healthy if we move proactively today.” “This sugary drink initiative is new and we anticipate some large industry types working to fight it,” Quintero said. “But we believe this concept will serve our community well, both from the standpoint of driving discussion about healthy consumption habits, but also in creating a revenue source to act as a bridge as we work to serve our community and keep them healthy.”

Community Workshop in Temple City - July 26 The public is invited to a community workshop July 26, 7 p.m., at the Temple City Historical Society Hall, 5954 Kauffman Ave. Staff and consultants will present the results of the City’s recently completed historic resources survey, as part of a joint study session of the City Council and Planning Commission to address study findings. In addition to presenting on survey results—including why certain properties have been identified as historically unique—the consultants will also provide recommendations to the City on considering policies to better plan for the preservation of the resources, which serve as important cultural features of the community. Property owners whose properties have been identified as historically significant were individually invited by the City to attend the workshop, where information will be provided on what historic identification means, its potential benefits, as well as options for preservation for those interested.
According to Community Development Director Steve Masura, it is important to recognize the survey’s immediate purpose as informational only. In a letter recently distributed to property owners, it is noted that “Inclusion of [a] property in the survey report in no way changes or affects the legal status of [the] property or the regulations that apply to it.” For owners with concerns, comments or suggestions, staff will be available at the workshop to take any questions. According to a recent article, “Building on the Past,” featured in the Summer 2012 Temple City Connect Magazine, the historic resources survey was launched in 2011 as a first step in the City’s effort to sustain the community’s historic character. With assistance from a $10,000 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the City contracted with Historic Resources Group to conduct a comprehensive community survey, identifying and documenting existing local historic and cultural resources.
“Historic preservation policies or ordinances are a common way that cities preserve their sense of place and history,” Masura said. “Otherwise the history of the community will be lost forever. Preserved historic properties often become positive economic assets to the city and contribute to the unique character of different neighborhoods.” A draft report of the study—including a narrative of Temple City history, a list of properties identified as historically significant, recommendations for conservation and more—is available for review on the City’s website at http://www.templecity.us/ HistoricPreservation.asp. All community members interested in local history are encouraged to attend and participate at the workshop. Questions will be taken and input considered as the Planning Commission, City Council and community further discuss the future for a potential historic preservation program in Temple City.
Partnership Agreement Between United States Department of State and Pasadena Police Department Slated 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. 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 fur-
ther civilian security. Assistant Secretary Brownfield recognized the Pasadena Police Department for its recent assistance to the Department of State in sending one of Pasadena’s finest 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 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. 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 officers while they are deployed. Details of these programs and exchanges are at http://www.state.gov/j/ inl/civ/index.htm

measure.” Over 100 teachers, parents, administrators, and community leaders gave input to the facilities plan which will be funded if the bond is passed. Every neighborhood public school in Temple City will receive funding. “Quality school facilities allow us to continue attracting and retaining top quality teachers, students, and staff,” said Gina Aparicio, a TCUSD parent and PTA leader. The funds will upgrade technology, security and alarm systems, and heating and cooling systems as well as repair old roofing
and deteriorating electrical systems and wiring, and remove hazardous materials such as asbestos. In a particularly poignant moment, parent and school volunteer Michelle White spoke about how important performing arts programs and facilities were to her daughter, who attends Oak Avenue Intermediate, and how disheartening it was for her to see the poor condition, cramped quarters, and lack of space for the performing arts program. “Mom, don’t they understand not all kids learn the same, and this is how kids like me learn?” White said, quoting
her daughter. If passed by voters, the funds will be used to establish and expand science, art, performing arts, and vocational education program space to facilitate more hands-on learning opportunities for students. The measure would also create an Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee to ensure that every penny of bond money is spent for schools and classrooms as promised. Independent annual audits will also be conducted and published and no money will go to pensions or administrators’ salaries.

Sam’s Kitchen Nightmare is Over, at Least for Now
S
am's Mediterranean Kabob Room on South Myrtle in Monrovia was abuzz with FOX television crews, dozens of cameras and producers recently when they were filming a popular show which attempts to turn around ailing restaurants… and do so on television. Sam Najjar and his wife Ahlam have had many issues at their Monrovia restaurant over the years, and many with whom we spoke were simply turned off by the dark atmosphere let alone the “lousy food and service” according to one Monrovian who preferred to remain anonymous. This, however, is nothing a well-known Scottish Chef couldn’t cure, or at the very least have a bloody good, British crack at. Enter Gordon Ramsay, host and highly-charged chef of the popular BBC America and FOX TV show called ‘Kitchen Nightmares’. Ramsay, literally took over the Kabob joint last week and placed his tender loving, albeit tough-talking , looselipped persona, to help the restaurant get back on its feet.
By Terry Miller A producer from Kitchen Nightmares invited Beacon Media along after the kitchen makeover, to see first hand what all the fuss was about. Five members of Beacon media’s staff were escorted into the newly remodeled restaurant to try out some of the menu items and check out the new décor which had apparently changed considerably as did the attentiveness of the wait staff. One staff member, Andrea Olivas said the “baked peach dessert was really, really good…I could eat this forever” she said. However, the namesake of the restaurant, the Kabob, left her wanting much more flavor, more of the “wow” factor as she so eloquently put it. Not everyone in Beacon’s party agreed. Nvaire Shamon, who knows and loves Middle Eastern foods, said the Kabobs were excellent with just the right amount of spices. She also agreed the desserts were superb. One complaint, Shamon said, was the small portions. Tina Shamon, who is a student at Le Cordon Bleu California School for the Cu-
linary Arts, Pastry program, said her food , chicken Shawarma was good. She had no complaints, whatsoever. High praise indeed from a young woman about to devote her life to the business of food. One of our esteemed food critics, Victor Buell, who also moonlights as an advertising executive for Beacon, had this to say about his experience. “I thought the presentation was interesting and very clean and light. The staff was obviously under a lot of pressure but they seemed to weather it well, at least in the start. We shared appetizers of Feta Dip with dill and a dash of chili, which was addicting, and the Mezze Platter with two kinds of hummus, olives, falafel, and crispy zucchini fritters. After that the service slowed noticeably, and the wait staff couldn’t do much but apologize and look hopefully at the kitchen. I knocked over a full glass of wine, which they replaced immediately and without a question, a very nice gesture. When the entrees finally arrived, I was happily surprised with what I got. I half-expect-

ed the overwhelmed kitchen to turn out a less-than-savory flank steak sandwich. But it was hot, fresh, tasty and tender. “ Daniela Pina, a self - described ‘foodie’ said the food was “underseasoned” and she was not terribly pleased with the “chuncks of dust in the light fixtures above the table,” which she felt were about to drop on her food at any given
moment. She added that the place reminded her of a college hangout spot and added that the service left a lot to be desired. The wait for the food, was, understandably a little longer than expected due to the pressure of not only being on television but trying out a new menu in a packed restaurant which is not use to being so full. We asked FOX what
major changes took place at the restaurant and Joanna Wolf responded: “As far as specifics about changes, we will have to wait till closer to the date that the episode will air so we do not spoil for viewers. The season starts on September 28 at 8 PM on FOX, so your readers can tune in. “ Stay tuned to Beacon Media for details.

Alverno High School Sophomore Achieves National Archery Ranking Sophomore Amanda Tamayo Ranked 11th in the Nation in Her Age Division Alverno High School sophomore Amanda Tamayo spent June 26-June 30 in an unusual way—she was competing with 600 other young archers at the 128th National Target Championships in Hamilton, Ohio. Amanda has been competing in archery for the past three years when she was drawn to the sport after reading Robin Hood. Amanda’s parents agreed to let her try the sport after she had made the Academic Decathlon team at her elementary school, Sts. Felicitas and Perpetua, and Amanda has been competing ever since. This year was her second year competing in the National Target Championships and she admits that she likes the mental and physical challenge that archery provides. The unexpected and added challenge this year came when Hamilton, Ohio’s temperatures rose to 100 degrees with 87 percent humidity on the weekend of
the competition. “It definitely made it a challenge to focus, but I have worked really hard to get to this point so I wasn’t going to let it distract me,” Amanda said. “I enjoy a challenge and I was very grateful to be able to compete with archers from all over the country. I was very pleased to learn that I had been ranked 11/50 in my age division in the country.” Although training takes up a great deal of Amanda’s time, she has remained committed to her academics earning a place on Honor Roll during the 2011-2012 school year and taking a full load of Honors and AP courses as a sophomore. Additionally, Amanda also served as a student government representative for her freshman class this past year. “Alverno is so proud of Amanda for this incredible accomplishment,” said Ann Gillick, Head of School. “She is the true example of

an Alverno girl—someone who sees a challenge and uses the tools and talents she has to conquer it. At Alverno, we strive to empower each young woman to be exactly the person she wants to be and as a sophomore with so many accomplishments already to her name, I believe Amanda is well on her way to becoming exactly the person she wants to be.”
Everyday is an open house:
The room is gray, somber, bare-walled. Is it a cell? A warehouse? Even the men within it don’t know, for each was dragged here unwillingly. What have they in common?—they ask themselves and each other. Perhaps their identity papers are being re-checked by the German officers. For this is 1942 and they are in Vichy France. Indeed, what do they have in common? A painter, a doctor, a businessman, a grizzled old rabbi, an electrician, a gypsy, a prince…. Even a young lad, a very frightened young lad. The men are frightened, too, but try to conceal fear by searching for reasons why they’ve been brought in. From time to time, first one and then another pulls his papers from a pocket, studies them, reassuring themselves that they are legal. But Lebeau is less concerned with papers. He has a different theory—“They measured my nose!” he exclaims. Demanding of the others—“Did they measure your nose?” He’s convinced he was detained because he

is a Jew. Barry Saltzman plays Lebeau, the painter, with a frantic pace that exasperates the other men. And there are rumors. Rendon Ramsey as the electrician Bayard gathers the group around him to quietly say he’s heard that the Germans are carrying trainloads of people to their deaths in concentration camps. “Not possible,” some protest. “Inconceivable.” Thus the selfdeception continues. Tension mounts as the detainees argue their viewpoints. Then, a sudden hush as Marchand, a nattily garbed businessman, is called into the hallway. John Dimitri feigns confidence when militaristically stern Professor Hoffman (Karyn O’Bryant) leads him away. Captain (Brent Schindele) follows, and a door slams ominously. Should they band together and try to escape? Dare they make a personal stand against authority and risk punishment, or should they acquiesce and hope for leniency? Such are the questions plaguing these men— questions we ourselves may ponder as we search our souls. Who will be next? “Next!” is Hoffman’s oneword command each time she enters the dingy room, looks at the men, then points. Some go kicking and screaming. Some proudly defiant. One by one they are led away to whatever fate awaits them. Underlying “Incident at Vichy” is the theme of personal and societal complicity that ultimately allows dictators to succeed. Each character has been perfectly cast in the Sierra Made Playhouse production directed by Barbara Schofield. Even Vance Wells as the sad-eyed old rabbi who speaks not one word. And Rebecca Rodick as the gypsy scorned by the men, proving prejudices exist even among those who are victims of prejudice themselves. Andy Scott Harris poignantly plays the young boy who tries to save his family by selling his mother’s wedding ring. Zayd Jaber is strong as the waiter, and Aaron Michael Jackson is a café proprietor. Some deep truths come out when Matt Dodge as the German Major deplores his task at the detention sta-
tion as beneath his rank and dignity. Finally we have only the doctor Leduc and Von Berg, a prince (Richard Michael Knolla and David Kieran, respectively.) Their last encounter brings the moral dilemma into focus as each makes his personal choice. Don Bergmann’s usual strong talent in set design is in evidence. Gloom pervades. The shadowy room has a bank of high windows. Crates and wooden chairs suffice as seats for the detainees. David Calhoun and Ward Calaway assisted with construction, and Schofield added her touch. Schofield’s direction of “Incidence at Vichy” follows her successes with “Proof” and “Arcadia” in recent seasons here. In the program, be sure to read “A Word from the Director,” describing her personal relation to Arthur Miller’s compelling drama. Estelle Campbell and Ward Calaway are the producers. Jade Cagalawan is the stage manager and lights operator. Michael Tamblyn is sound operator and assistant stage manager, with Grace Korkunis as intern. Credit Shon LeBlanc/Valentino’s for costume design that artfully defines each person’s station in life. Barry Schwam handled sound design and Sammy Ross lighting design. Anne Marie Atwan is properties mistress. Liam Carl designed the poster art, and Calaway did the program design and layout. Maia Madison did the production photography. Philip Sokoloff is publicist. “Incident at Vichy” will continue at the Sierra Madre Playhouse Fridays and Saturdays through Sept. 8.

The Social Whirl The Annual Meeting of the American Society of Lone Fisherman Who Have Found Dead Bodies” at Fremont Centre Theatre on August 5 There’s an old saying: “The worst day fishing is better than the best day working.” T.S. Cook probably believes in that saying. In his new solo show (which I’ll call “Lone Fishermen” for short), he portrays the Angler. The Angler is a family man who loves his wife and kids, but every so often just needs the peace and quiet and solitude that fishing provides. It’s refuge. It puts him in touch with who he is. It’s food. It’s sport. It’s family history. It’s a great source of jokes and stories. It provides the answer to one of life’s most fundamental questions: “You gonna bitch or fish?” One day the Angler pulls in more than he bargains for (the title is a giveaway). “Lone Fisherman”
recently concluded an acclaimed run at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. “T.S. Cook is a master craftsman of language. To sum it up, it’s a strong vessel with a strong captain.” T. Bartolone, L.A. Theatre Review. Cook’s play, “Ravensridge,” played at Fremont Centre Theatre in 2008. He was nominated for an Oscar® and a Golden Globe ® for co-writing the screenplay for “The China Syndrome,” and also produced and wrote episodes of “Baretta” and “Airwolf” and cowrote the teleplays for “The Tuskegee Airmen” and the remake of “High Noon.” The performance of “Lone Fishermen” will be followed by a reception and a book signing (Cook has a new book of stories).
Don’t miss this chance to see this acclaimed master writer-performer. What: “The Annual Meeting of the American Society of Lone Fisherman Who Have Found Dead Bodies,” a solo show. WHO: Written and performed by T.S. Cook. Presented by California Performing Arts Center. WHERE: Fremont Centre Theatre, 1000 Fremont Ave. (at El Centro), South Pasadena, CA, 91030.

Diana Landis, a noted conductor and music educator, has been appointed director of Los Angeles Children’s Chorus’ (LACC) Apprentice Choir. LACC Artistic Director Anne
Tomlinson announced her appointment, which marks Landis’ return to the chorus after a ten year absence during which time she taught music in various capacities in Orange County. She replaces Larissa Donnelly, who relocated with her family to Texas. “We warmly welcome Diana back into the LACC family,” says Tomlinson. “Her exceptional music skills and broad teaching experience at all age levels are tremendous assets to the Apprentice Choir. Because of Diana’s previous experience with LACC, she is also very familiar with how children are promoted through LACC’s six formal en-
sembles based on their skill level and musical readiness. Everyone at LACC is delighted to work closely with her in her new capacity.” Landis formerly directed LACC’s Apprentice Choir for five years (19931998) and the Intermediate Choir during the 2000-2001 season. She earned a Bachelor of Music degree with an emphasis in Music Education from the University of Southern California and holds a California Life Credential to teach music in grades K-12.

Family Festival Celebrates the 20th Anniversary in Old Town Monrovia By Pam Fitzpatrick
-Courtesy Photo
Twenty years ago Monrovia’s Old Town was a sleepy strip of weary historic storefronts, many of them with long-term vacancies. Clearly Monrovia’s town center needed a spark – something that would attract shoppers as well as energize existing business. It was during a previous economic recession that the idea of a farmer’s market - street fair was proposed by a group of local business owners. Though the event sounded like a lot of work, it had possibilities, and the grass roots merchant association of that day decided to give it a try. Early on it became clear that if the event was going
to succeed, it would need a dedicated organizer, someone who was willing to devote a considerable amount of time and energy every week to the cause. Dave Gayman, at that time the owner of Valley Hardware on Myrtle Avenue, said he would take on the challenge. Over the years the small street fair has grown from a farmer’s market-handcrafted art show to a real Festival, attracting thousands of visitors every Friday evening to Old Town. Family Festival Productions Inc. (FFPI) is the Monrovia based company responsible for Old Town’s weekly street event. Still led
by Dave Gayman, the company now presents street fairs and festivals, certified farmer’s markets, catered events, and special events of all types. Monrovia’s street fair now consists of a Certified Farmer’s Market (CFM), a foot court area, children’s play zone, commercial vendor’s booth, and live entertainment. Not a bad idea, Monrovia. Congratulations and Happy 20th Anniversary to Family Festival Productions Inc., to Dave Gayman, personally, and to all the business owners and City staff who have worked to make this event the success it is today.

Robert Stone, J.D., president and executive officer of City of Hope Medical Foundation and chief strategy and administrative officer of City of Hope has been promoted to president of City of Hope. Stone will assume the duties of this position on Aug. 1, 2012. “Robert Stone’s leadership will continue to benefit City of Hope in this highly competitive and ever-shifting landscape of health-care de-
livery and research funding,” said Michael A. Friedman, M.D., chief executive officer of City of Hope, director, comprehensive cancer center and Irell & Manella Cancer Center Director’s Distinguished Chair. “Robert has been instrumental in preparing City of Hope for its future – with a proud history of achievements in compassionate patient care and medical research – as we work together to transform the future of health.” As president, Stone, who will report to Friedman in the City of Hope Office of the Chief Executive, will be responsible for executing City of Hope’s strategy, driving business development and optimizing operations. He will oversee all operational, financial, human capital and strategic functions. “City of Hope’s most significant asset is the compassion, talent and exper-
tise of our people, working together toward common goals,” said Stone. “We are in a period of significant transition in health-care delivery and research and on the brink of an exciting period in the history of City of Hope. I am confident that we will deliver on the promise of our 100-year legacy and the potential of our future.” Stone joined City of Hope in 1996 as associate general counsel and was promoted to general counsel for the medical center in 2000. In 2003, he was named City of Hope’s general counsel and corporate secretary. He was named City of Hope’s chief strategy and administrative officer in 2009. Prior to City of Hope, Stone was a practicing attorney at the firms of Christa & Jackson and Hanna and Morton. He earned his law degree at the University of Chicago Law School.
Phone Home Mars Landing Continued from page 1
ing about six seconds has nudged Odyssey about six minutes ahead in its orbit. Odyssey is now operating normally, and confirmation of Curiosity’s landing is expected to reach Earth at about 10:31 p.m. PDT on Aug. 5 (early Aug. 6, EDT and Universal Time), as originally planned. “Information we are receiving indicates the maneuver has completed as planned,” said Mars Odyssey Project Manager Gaylon McSmith of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. “Odyssey has been working at Mars longer than any other spacecraft, so it is appropriate that it has a special role in supporting the newest arrival.” Two other Mars orbit-
ers, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the European Space Agency’s Mars Express, also will be in position to receive radio transmissions from the Mars Science Laboratory during its descent. However, they will be recording information for later playback, not relaying it immediately, as only Odyssey can. Odyssey arrived at Mars in 2001. Besides conducting its own scientific observations, it has served as a communication relay for NASA’s Spirit and Opportunity Mars rovers and the Phoenix lander on the Martian surface. NASA plans to use Odyssey and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter as communication relays for Curiosity during that rover’s
two-year prime mission on Mars. Odyssey and the Mars Science Laboratory, with its Curiosity rover, are managed for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington by JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Curiosity was built at JPL. Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver built Odyssey. JPL and Lockheed Martin collaborate on operating Odyssey.

Local Youth and Big Brother of the Year
Monrovian Recognized by President Obama Monrovia teen and his Big Brother were recognized for their mentoring relationship by President Barack Obama in the Oval Office today. Nominated by his Little Brother Joseph Spicer, Mike Trueblood was recognized for his tireless work and dedication as a Big Brother serving the Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters (CBBBS) chapter in Los Angeles for more than three decades, Trueblood was joined by his little brother Joseph and given the presidential treatment at the White House. Chosen out of 250,000 volunteers in the nation to become Big Brother of the Year, Trueblood has served as a Big Brother to three boys throughout his life. He never dreamed his passion and commitment to be a mentor would lead him to the White House. “I am humbled and overjoyed to have met the President of the United States. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said and added, “I want to encourage more volunteers, especially males, and financial supporters to join a mentoring program – the results are outstanding.” Having served CBBBS in several capacities including volunteering as a board member, advertising consultant and most recently, as a Big Brother, Trueblood says being a mentor is a very important calling in life. He and Jo-
Mike Trueblood and Little Brother, Joseph Spicer, visit the Oval Office. -Courtesy Photo
seph share a deep bond and connection that has been cultivated over the past 5 years. Despite the generational differences – Trueblood is 82 and Joseph is 14 – they have become a strong team. Trueblood has taught Joseph to play tennis, invest in his education and to be a public speaker, affording him the opportunity to speak at City Council meetings and gala events, where he has been offered support for his college education. Joseph is fortunate to have Trueblood as a guiding force in life and was ecstatic to visit the White House for the first time, “I am proud to have Mike Trueblood as my Big Brother and thankful to have the opportunity to fly to Washington DC and meet the President in-person,” he said. Joseph was joined on the trip by his uncle, Larry Spicer, who is a Monrovia City Council-

New Car Dealers Contribute to Literacy By susan motander The Greater Los Angeles New Car Dealers Association made a $5,000 contribution to Monrovia Reads, the local non-profit dedicated to 10% literacy in the community. A check for that amount was presented to the organization at their fundraiser on Saturday by Peter Hoffman of Sierra Auto Cars. Hoffman, who is a board member of the new car dealers association, said that the group regularly makes charitable donations to organizations that benefit the communities in which they operate. He gave the City of Hope as example of the sort of organization
that have benefited from the group’s contributions. “We regularly support tech programs in schools,” Hoffman said. “We realize that as the automobile industry becomes more complex and is relying more and more on computers. We need a well educated work force.” In explaining the donation, Hoffman also said that the group believes in helping to make a Southern California stronger. “Our fortunes ride on the fortune of the communities in which we reside and do business. A successful community needs well educated members,”
Hoffman said. Monrovia Reads is a non-profit organization which raises funds to promote literacy in the community. It also supports tutoring programs in the Monrovia schools and donates class sets of books to teachers as well as giving books to young people throughout the city. The organization partners with the city in supporting the Monrovia Reads and Plays Van. The van brings library staff members to several neighborhoods in Monrovia each week to assist youngsters with homework and reading as well, as giving them a safe play experience.

With a short five months until the Tournament of Roses, the Sierra Madre Rose Float Association faces some difficulties while diligently at work building the traditional Sierra Madre Rose Float. Instilling a strong sense of community pride since 1917, Sierra Madre is famous for their homemade floats. As per local tradition, The Sierra Madre float is built every year in the Float Barn at Sierra Vista Park and is constructed entirely by volunteers. With numerous awards, including the Lathrop K. Leishman Award, the Princess’ Trophy and the Governor’s Trophy, the association’s creativity and dedication is certainly acknowledged. Designed by Charles Meier, Sierra Madre’s 2013 parade entry, “The Sky’s the Limit,” will be the city’s 81st float. At 55 feet long, 18 feet wide and 32 feet tall, “The Sky’s the Limit” will be one of the largest floats the association has built. Decorated with a variety of organic materials including carnations, irises, and roses, the float will feature a large kite, boldly communicating that “The Sky’s the Limit” for anything one might wish to accomplish. For the 2006-2011 parades, Sierra Madre’s current float designer, Charles Meier, designed six of the city’s award winning floats. After his success with the Sierra Madre floats, Meier started his own float-building company, Paradiso Parade Floats. Grateful for his success and experience with the Sierra Madre floats, Meier has returned this year, volunteering his time to design “The Sky’s the Limit.” Surely, Sierra Madre is fortunate to collaborate with such a renowned designer,
but much more than a masterful design and a pretty rendering is required for such a considerable project. Every year, the Sierra Madre Rose Float Association funds and builds the float independently. One of the association’s key ways of fundraising is a letter of appeal that is sent out to the city’s households requesting a donation. Depending on the size of a float, the cost of such a project can range anywhere from $35,000 to $75,000. The estimated cost of “The Sky’s the Limit” is over $50,000, and the association still needs donations. Funding the float can be a difficult task for the association, but an equally great struggle lies with community involvement. Robert Young, the association’s president says, “everyone wants to see a beautiful float, but no one wants to build it”. The association is appreciative of Sierra Madre residents’ financial contributions, but that’s only half of the task. Sierra Madre has a population of 10,996, and the association has about 100 members; out of the 100 members, only 11 meet regularly to work on construction. Construction isn’t as efficient as it could be on account of a shortage of volunteers, and ironically, out of the volunteers they do have, most are not Sierra Madre residents. Association members attribute Sierra Madre locals’ lack of involvement to misconceptions about the float and to a general lack of awareness. The association’s volunteer coordinator states “few people in Sierra Madre understand how the float is built and how they can help.” Misconceptions about float production include: the idea that one must be a Sierra Madre resident to volunteer, construction be-
gins in November, the float is funded by the city, one must know how to weld in order to participate in construction, and volunteers are only needed during the last week of December. All are false beliefs; in fact, anyone, from anywhere can volunteer, the float is funded by donations, people interested in participating don’t need a specific skill set, construction is a continuing process and the association needs help throughout the entire year. Kay Sappington, the director of decoration says “those who can’t give money can give time.” Anyone interested in learning how to weld has a great opportunity to do so by participating in float construction. Volunteers are also needed for sorting materials, grinding rice and handshaping pieces of metal. But for those who have neither money nor time, there are alternative ways of helping -the association can always use equipment. Food dehydrators, blenders, non steam irons and hair dryers would be welcome gifts that anyone can donate. The Float Barn is open every Sunday from 11:00am to 5:00pm for construction, and the public is encouraged to stop by to volunteer, make a donation or learn about the float. The Sierra Madre Rose Float Association has a great design for the 2013 float and they have a committed team of core volunteers. If the community makes a collective effort to get the project rolling, the sky really will be the limit for the success of this upcoming year’s float.

The YWCA PasadenaFoothill Valley (YWCA) will host a community celebration of the life and legacy of Toby Osos. The festivities will be held at All Saints Church in the Forum on Saturday, August 4 at 10:00am. “We are assembling select individuals from various spheres that benefited from Toby’s influence to highlight the difference that this short, powerhouse of a woman made in their worlds,” explains YWCA Board President, Sandra Davis Houston. Toby Osos passed away at the age of 92 on June 29, 2012 while out with a friend getting ready for her annual trip back to Indiana to visit family. She is well known throughout political and social justice circles and was active in— and was even a co-founder of some—organizations. Whether her more recent advocacy for the aging, support of the Democratic Party, empowerment of women, or her life-long devotion to racial justice, Toby was known as a stalwart, outspoken, actiondriven volunteer and activist.

Kensington Project (“Core Density Limit”) of the People’s Empowerment Act (a.k.a. Measure V) to permit development of an assisted living facility consistent with the Kensington Assisted Living Facility Specific Plan and not exceeding two stories, 30 feet in height and 75 assisted living suites, for the parcels located at 33 North Hermosa Avenue and 245 West Sierra Madre Boulevard?” The proposed Kensington project violates only the density restrictions of Measure V, which allow only for 13 dwelling units per acre downtown. Fountain Square Development West is proposing a 75-unit project at the 1.84-acre site. In addition to approving Resolution 12-69 for the actual ballot language, the council also approved 5-0 the following resolutions: 12-68, allowing for council members to submit arguments to amend Measure V; 12-67, allowing for the public to file rebuttal arguments; and lastly 12-66, allowing for the consolidation of Sierra Madre’s special municipal election with the statewide general election in November. City Clerk Nancy Shollenberger said that council members have until Aug. 7 to file their arguments on amending Measure V that would “permit development of an assisted living facility consistent with the Kensington Specific Plan.” The city attorney’s impartial analysis of
the initiative is also due Aug. 7. And the public has until Aug. 17 to file rebuttals to the council’s arguments. Shollenberger said that she would place a public notice requesting rebuttals to the Measure V arguments. Explaining how this works, the city clerk said, “Usually they (the public) will call me (after the notice has gone out) and say that they would like to respond; I will give them the form, and they will receive (the city’s arguments).” The council also approved 5-0 a Kensington Election Indemnification and Hold Harmless Agreement, securing the developer’s promise to pay the actual costs of the election, which, according to Highsmith, are estimated to be nearly $30,000. Highsmith explained that the agreement also contains “risk-shifting” provisions, that is, transferring risk to the other party. “It is a waiver of claims against the city,” she said, “having the developer promise upfront that in the, hopefully unlikely, event the community does not elect to amend Measure V in order to create this density exception for this project … that the developer will not come back later and take a position against the city through suit or otherwise that there was no Measure V vote required with the city in the first place because these are not really ‘dwelling units’.”

POLICE BLOTTERS Arcadia PD
Sunday, July 15: Around 12:29 a.m., officers detained two males in the parking lot of the Extended Stay Hotel, located at 401 East Santa Clara Street, after they were seen by witnesses opening vehicles that were left unlocked. Several items, believed to be stolen from the vehicles, were found on the males. A 22-year-old Caucasian male and an 18-year-old Hispanic male were arrested for receiving stolen property and booked at the Arcadia City Jail. At approximately 8:29 p.m., officers were called to a business office in the 500 block of South First Avenue. The office had been burglarized sometime over the weekend. The suspect(s) forced entry to the office door and once inside, broke through the drywall into two adjacent offices. Several pieces of office equipment and other devices were taken in the burglary. Monday, July 16: Shortly after 7:00 a.m., a burglary to a residence currently under construction was reported. The home is located in the 00 block of West Pamela Road and the crime occurred sometime overnight. Suspect(s) forced open a locked rear door and made entry to the home. Several fixtures and small appliance items were removed and stolen. At about 4:08 p.m., a theft from vehicle was reported in the 100 block of East Camino Real Avenue. The vehicle was parked in a residential driveway and the crime occurred overnight. The victim had left the doors unlocked and the suspect(s) removed paperwork and a small
amount of cash from the car. Tuesday, July 17: Shortly before 3:00 p.m., officers were called to a home in the 600 block of Santa Cruz Road. Two house guests had been involved in a dispute over a drinking problem. When one guest attempted to remove the other, the dispute became physical. The suspect punched the victim and allegedly slashed a knife toward the victim’s leg. Officers arrived and detained the suspect who was still at the location. A 41-year-old Hispanic male was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and was booked at the Arcadia City Jail. At about 3:49 p.m., loss prevention agents from Nordstrom, located in the Santa Anita Mall at 400 South Baldwin Avenue, reported they had detained an employee for theft. Officers learned the employee had conducted many fraudulent returns to obtain gift cards. The employee later used the gift cards to make purchases, and then returned those items for cash. A 31-year-old Hispanic male was arrested for commercial burglary and was booked at the Arcadia City Jail. Wednesday, July 18: Around 1:02 p.m., an officer was alerted to a reported stolen vehicle being driven on Colorado Place near Huntington Drive. The alert was from the automated license plate reader in the patrol unit. The officer found the stolen vehicle parked at the Motel 6, 225 Colorado Place, and detained the driver. The vehicle had been reported stolen out of Santa Monica the day prior. The suspect was arrested and booked at the Arcadia City Jail for suspicion of auto
theft. Shortly after 7:30 p.m., an officer was called to a residence in the 1800 block of Oakwood Avenue on report of a residential burglary. The suspect(s) pried open a rear sliding glass door and made entry to the home. After ransacking bedrooms looking for property, the suspect(s) fled, taking two laptop computers and other miscellaneous property. The crime occurred between about 10:15 a.m. and 7:15 p.m. while the family was away. Thursday, July 19: At approximately 9:19 a.m., an officer responded to a home in the 1000 block of Rodeo Road. The resident discovered a lock had been cut on the entry door to a garage sometime overnight. Suspect(s) entered the garage and stole a chop saw and a paint sprayer. Around 8:15 p.m., two victims of identity theft came to the police station to file a report. The husband and wife live in the 1200 block of South Golden West Avenue and in review of their credit card statement, learned two balance transfer checks had been fraudulently used from their account. The victims also failed to receive a newly issued credit card and found a charge had been made on that account. Although they suffered no financial loss, it appears the couple was possibly victim of mail and identity theft. Friday, July 20: At about 12:49 p.m., officers were flagged down in the parking lot of the Westfield Mall, 400 South Baldwin Avenue, regarding a dog left inside a parked car. Although
several vehicle windows were ajar, the outside temperature was about 90 degrees and the interior temperature of the vehicle caused the dog to be in distress. Officers were able to open the vehicle, remove the dog, and the Pasadena Humane Society responded and took possession of the animal. Over an hour later, the dog owner returned to the vehicle. The incident was documented and will be presented to the District Attorney for consideration of criminal charges. At approximately 3:45 p.m., the victim of an auto burglary reported their SUV had been broken into while parked at the Westfield Mall, 400 South Baldwin Avenue. The crime occurred between 12:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Suspect(s) made entry by unknown means and removed the vehicle’s 3rd row seat. Saturday, July 21: Shortly after 3:30 p.m., loss prevention agents at the Abercrombie and Fitch, Westfield Mall, 400 South Baldwin Avenue, detained a female for theft. The female was seen placing clothing into a shopping bag and leaving without paying for the items. During the investigation, stolen items from the Bath and Body Works were also found. A 24-year-old African-American female was arrested for commercial burglary and booked at the Arcadia City Jail. At about 10:00 p.m., officers were working traffic control at the intersection of Baldwin Avenue and Gate 8, related to a concert event at the Arboretum. A couple walked into the roadway, against traffic signals, and was told to step out of traffic by an officer. The couple continued to
cross the roadway toward the officer. When confronted, the male shoved the officer in the chest. The male suspect was detained and found to be intoxicated. A 48-year-old Caucasian male was arrested for battery on a peace officer and drunk in public. The suspect was booked at the Arcadia City Jail.

NOTICE TO POTEN¬TIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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.

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 mort¬gagee, 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 wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916 939 0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20110187411905.

Music of Cole Porter Delights Large Crowd at Arboretum
Marvin Hamlisch has signed on for three more years at Pasadena Pops -Photo by Terry Miller
A warm summer evening, a lovely park setting, and the Pasadena Pops Orchestra with Principal Pops Conductor, Marvin Hamlisch, and popular entertainer, Michael Feinstein, motivated thousands to fill the Bauer Lawn to capacity at The Arboretum in Arcadia Saturday night. It was a capacity crowd. The evening program was dedicated to the music of Cole Porter, surely one of America's pre-eminent American Songbook deans. Presenting the second of four concerts in the summer
series, conductor Hamlisch and the Pasadena Pops were joined by Feinstein to romp through about a dozen of the 900 songs and music from 33 shows Porter composed during his over 60 year songwriting career. Early on, Hamlisch took to the piano to start the program within the ambit of the program offering four immediately recognizable Porter tunes: "Day and Night"; "You'd be so Easy to Love"; "I Get a Kick out of You"; and "It's All Right With Me" that he flicked off with a casual air. At the po-

by 16 students from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, went on display Tuesday at the Arboretum in Arcadia. The students presented their creations the Celebration Garden. Art Center production design student Alex Cabunoc hand crafted a Lucky Baldwin’s Cruquet mallet, homage to Baldwin’s passion of lawn croquet and a hint of his love of horse racing. Eliana Feigelstock designed “shadow necklaces” with precision laser cuts that honor the earth. Ravit Bennier, also at Art Center, tried her very first wood wording sculpture with remnants of a eucalyptus tree, felled from the December storms. Bennier’s work was topped with a brass ball and seemed to depict new birth to this casual observer. The sixteen students from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena are among the 130 artists and artisans invited by the Arboretum to commemorate the fallen trees through art. The work of
all artists will be on display at the Forces of Nature art exhibit from November 30 to December 2, 9am4:30pm, at the Arboretum. The artists are donating their work, which will be auctioned to raise funds for the Arboretum Tree Fund.

dor. Oh, don't we wish that other teenagers would take up the love of this wonderful music. The orchestra, filled mostly with summer replacements, responded well to both Hamlisch and Feinstein throughout the evening. Toward the end of the program, a second piano was brought onto the stage allowing Hamlisch and Feinstein to be heard together as a duo-piano team. In my view you can forget the "Chopsticks", but remember the "Tea for Two". Feinstein completed the evening with Hamlisch at the piano, singing Hamlisch's tune, "The Way We Were". Lyricists of the song, Alan and Marilyn Bergman, were acknowledged by Feinstein who pointed them out in the audience, but it remained uncertain as to whether they attended. Both Hamlisch and Feinstein seemed a tad feisty at times during the evening. Hamlisch displayed anger at the beginning of the program. The playing of the National Anthem, not
a tradition at Pops Orchestra events, was called for unbeknownst to Hamlisch. Caught off-guard by the unplanned announcement, the orchestra struggled for a few bars before pulling things together. The sloppy beginning was an issue for the classically trained musician. "I'm pretty upset," Hamlisch told the crowd. A re-introduction of the Pops conductor was accomplished; he strode onstage and things went on as planned for an excellent evening of music. For Feinstein it was peacocks, a swooping helicopter, a crying baby, audience "help" with lyrics and even a grammar criticism each of which brought rebukes from the seasoned performer. The crowd went away upbeat and happy many commenting on the joy of the evening. Pasadena Pops Orchestra's next concert is Aug. 18 with pop-opera group Poperazzi with entertaining guest conductor, Michael Krajewski.
