Aging county jail plan advances The joint motion by Supervisors Gloria Molina and Michael D. Antonovich, taking the decade-long debate on whether or not to replace the aging Men’s Central Jail to the next step, was approved. The Board of Supervisors also voted to consider a comprehensive diversion plan. “By moving forward with a new state-of-the-art detention facility, today’s action advances our efforts to protect public safety and
avoids a class action lawsuit or a federal take-over such as the one confronted by the state,” said Supervisor Antonovich. “The new facility will be designed to ensure inmate and staff safety as well as provide access to vital health, mental health and substance abuse treatment services which will satisfy our agreement with the Department of Justice.” Both motions called for reports due in 60 days.

Dorothy's Place Diminished senses
By Dorothy Denne I have just completed a brief walk and have sat down for a cup of coffee. It was pleasantly cool and overcast, but is now beginning to clear. When that sun breaks through, I better be prepared to sweat. I worked with an art teacher in Michigan who once told me, "My dear, never say you sweat. Horses sweat, men perspire and women glow." She is the same one who told me to marry the first time for money, then the second time for love. Shows how well I listen. Speaking of listening, sounds are easier for me since I purchased a hearing aid. That sucker was expensive. My friend now wears an aid in each ear. It seems
that since we're wearing them, we speak more softly. Consequently, our husbands and some of our other friends are discovering that their own hearing is not as good as they thought it was. Funny how much more we begin to appreciate our senses at the same time they begin to lose their keenness. (Is there such a word as "keenness"? Those two Ns together look strange. Whatever. Time is fleeting and I don't want to waste it worrying about an N.) My senses of sight and hearing have definitely diminished, but they work. And, with the help of mankind's inventions, they work nearly perfectly. The touch, I think, is okay. I do know when I whack my toe or slam my finger. Picking up tiny things is a little more difficult than it used to be, but that's not touch. It's the lack of ability to wrap my fingers
around teeny objects. That and the results of that overzealous manicurist. Regarding taste and smell, I could tolerate a bit of dimishiment. (Another questionable, but useful word.) The proliferate and effective use of my taste buds can be attested to by the size of Mr. and Mrs Weight Watchers' bank account. My sense of smell, as always, is especially keen. Sometimes that is not a blessing, even when what I'm smelling smells good. Yesterday, I bought body lotion with a lovely light scent of lilac. This morning I smeared it all over my body, which is a considerable surface. The sun has come out. In spite of what Bea said, I'm sweating. The fragrance is profusely wafting from my bosom. I smell like a whole bloomin' lilac bush. So much for diminished senses.

Dr. Walsh has accused Catholics of idolatry for “worshipping” the Virgin Mary of him having sex with his boyfriend surfaced. PCC officials say a student leader was to blame for inviting him. PCC then invited Dr. Eric Walsh, head of the Pasadena Public Health Department, to take his place. Then it was learned that he has made bigoted comments about gays, Muslims, and Catholics. So he stepped aside. Now Black has been formally invited to speak, and he has accepted. Dr. Walsh has accused Catholics of idolatry for “worshipping” the Virgin Mary. Similarly, statues of

PCC and the Public Health Department are funded by the taxpayers. Regrettably, the city now has a major PR problem, ” The Catholic League stated in a press release dated May 7.

Sierra Madre Water System Five-Year Master Plan The Five-Year Master Plan of the Sierra Madre Water Department was approved as one of the last items which the outgoing City Council Members approved before the end of their term. The primary change is to the prioritization of the well rehabilitation projects and the reassignment of the East Tunnel Rehabilitation into a later year of the Master Plan. If you have trouble understanding the previous sentence, as stated in the City report, then in essence all that is said is to further postpone the overdue repairs. This lack of repairs is nothing new and now the reason is that we will be buying water from M.W.D. and our wells and pumps will not be used. Does this
make any good sense? Shouldn't the wells and pumps be repaired when they are not used? The City raised the water rates, again, in order to make these repairs and now all they can say is postpone. Only one project is scheduled for 2013-14 and that is the Mountain Trail Water Main Project - $198,400 of City funding and $242,500 of Federal dollars. This covers only part of the project and the other $325,000 is postponed for 2014-15. Isn't there enough money to complete at least one project? Can the City find $88,000 to rehabilitate the West Tunnel now rather than later? If the City would only admit to the Edison electrical billing savings and the
fact that they are not paying for M.W.D. water they could easily find enough money to gain a little on the long overdue repairs to our water supply. This doesn't even mention on how much is saved on chlorine costs since we are not testing the M.W.D. water. The City also knows that the weather men are predicting an El Nino heated water condition later this year. If this happens, then we will receive 2 or 3 times the normal rainfall. If this happens, will our water system be repaired in time to use our system instead of the M.W.D.? If we stop using the M.W.D. water, then maybe the rust and dirt will also stop. Fix it now and maybe the problem will not be there tomorrow! Sierra Madre Watchman
Beacon Media two hundread years early Dear Editor: In the May 1, 2014 edition of the Temple City Tribune there is a reference to William Shakespeare that identifies him as a "14th century wordsmith." That's two centuries off. There is serious contention over whether the author of the plays and poems was William Shaksper of Stratford on Avon, or Edward deVere, the 17th
Earl of Oxford, but the author we know as "Shakespeare" lived and wrote in the 16th century (meaning 1500s) and died early in the 17th century. Kenn Miller Dear Mr. Miller: Thanks for pointing out our horrific blunder. The Bard would be horrified with our incongruous error. And the editor is indeed
embarrassed over the incorrect century attributed to Shakespeare in our recent edition. Undeniably, we know that Shakespeare lived in the 1500’s and subsequently would make him a 16th century wordsmith – how we let this slip by our eagle-eyed staff is beyond me. Again, thanks for the letter and the note of correction. Thanks also for adding to the scholarly contention mentioned above. Editor
Reader says Walsh has been “chastised” Dear Editor: This man, Dr. Walsh, is being severely chastised and condemned in a modern day witch hunt. He has not hurt anyone but is preaching the true word of God. The old saying “the truth hurts” applies very well here. Apparently the truth has been outlawed in
Pasadena. Shame on you people. Haven’t you ever heard of the first amendment to the constitution of the United States of America? When you outlaw truth spoken by one you have outlawed all truth spoken by anyone. Things like this spell the end of freedom of religion and freedom of
Scott Phelps new PUSD board president The Board of Education of the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) Monday voted to elect Scott Phelps as board president for the 2014-2015 board year by a 5-1 (abstain) vote. Also at the organizational meeting, Kim Kenne was elected vice president and Tyron Hampton was elected clerk. The board elects officers for one year terms. “As Board President, I hope to foster greater understanding between district staff and the community, which includes parents and the board,” said Phelps. “We need to work together in the most productive and collaborative way possible in order to achieve the goals we all have for the education of children in Pasadena, Altadena and Sierra Madre.” Phelps served as coordinator of the Science, Engineering and Technology Academy at John Muir High School and taught high school chemistry, physics, planetary science (astronomy), physical science, and math during the course of 15 years of teaching in PUSD schools before being elected to the PUSD Board of Education in 2005. With his extensive experience in
developing hands-on science curricula and project-based integrated curricula, Phelps was a member of the founding staff of Learning Works Charter School in Pasadena, teaching science labs. Phelps is currently teaching mathematics and astronomy at the University of La Verne, Mt. San Antonio College and Chaffey College and is a consultant for external evaluations of federal and state school reform grants received by school districts. He lives in Northwest Pasadena with his wife Lisa and their two children who attend PUSD’s McKinley School. “I look forward to working closely with Mr. Phelps addressing topics of concern to the district and the community,” said PUSD Superin-

Congresswoman Judy Chu, Sierra Madre Mayor John Harabedian salute a National Treasure of the Armenian Nation www.beaconmedianews.com
Joseph Manjikian celebrated his 104th birthday at the Pasadena Highlands with over one hundred people in attendance including family, friends, and community leaders. Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-27) presented Mr. Manjikian with a Certificate of Congressional Recognition honoring his life. City of Sierra Madre Mayor John Harabedian, Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) National Board Member Raffi Hamparian and ANCA-Western Region Board Member and Sierra Madre resident Raffi Kassabian, ANCAWestern Region Government Affairs Director Tereza Yerimyan, Armenian Bar Association President Garo Ghazarian and Kessab Education Association President Esther Tognozzi were also in attendance. “My father is the richest man from Kessab," said Dr. Haig Manjikian, son of Joseph Manjikian. “Having survived the Ar-

menian Genocide of 1915 and suffering the loss of family and close friends, he understands that the real wealth in life lies in the ability to cherish and appreciate time spent with family, friends, and community.” Joseph Manjikian was born on May 9, 1910 in Kessab, Syria, at that time a part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. During the Armenian Genocide, his father was conscripted into the Ottoman Army only to be murdered along with fellow Armenians. The villagers were forced into exile, marched into the desserts of Der Zor, along with countless other Armenians from the region. He was able to survive by eating weeds his mother
collected along the way. By good fortune, survivors from Kessab were able to go back to their village, as it became part of Syria after World War One. In recent weeks, Kessab, which has been inhabited by a Christian Armenian population for centuries, has been in the media spotlight as it was attacked by extremist militant groups that entered Syria through the Turkish border and drove out the local villagers from their ancestral lands. "Today we celebrate a man who is a national treasure for the Armenian nation,” remarked ANCA National board member Raffi Hamparian. "Joseph Manjikian represents our past, our present and our future. He is a signal of
our collective strength and the ANCA is honored to be here to mark his 104th birthday." Joseph Manjikian eventually immigrated to California in 1950 with his wife and two children, followed by a third child born in the US. His story symbolizes the American Dream. He worked as an auto mechanic for forty years supporting his family and establishing new roots in Los Angeles. All his children represent first generation college graduates and raised their families with a strong Armenian-American upbringing. In his later years, he most enjoys being in the company of his eight grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and all extended family and friends.

Pasadena High pitcher Calvin Christiansen “really gets guys out” By Shel Segal You can’t be successful in baseball throwing just a fastball, even if it is in the high 80s. Pasadena High pitcher Calvin Christiansen can attest to that. Christiansen has seen his share of success with the Bulldogs throwing a cutter and a splitter to get batters out throughout a game. “My splitter is kind of like my ‘freak’ pitch that really gets guys out,” said Christiansen, 17. “No one really throws it. It’s hard, especially if you haven’t seen it. And the cutter just keeps guys guessing.” Born in Connecticut but raised in the Pasadena area, Christiansen said he is coming back from injury, but that all is going well for him now. “It’s been going pretty good,” he said. “I had elbow surgery last year. I started throwing about February and it started feeling good, just a few innings at a time and just building up. My arm now feels great. It’s just a matter of getting my stamina back. I’m happy with my progress, so far. I just wanted to be healthy for the season.” Christiansen said he is a converted shortstop as he got his start playing in the infield. “Sophomore year is when I really started pitching,” he said. “Before then I mostly played shortstop. I started as kind of an extra inning guy. I got a few big wins

sophomore year and I started pitching more. That’s when I got my big pitching award. Last year I couldn’t pitch and this year I’m finally coming back.” Asked which position he likes better, Christiansen answered “definitely pitching.” “It’s fun to be in control of the game and set the tempo and have everyone work behind you,” he said. “You can set the rhythm.” Christiansen’s coach Mike Parisi said Christiansen has really led the Bulldogs over the years. “He’s a three-year starter and he’s our ace on the mound,” Parisi said of Christiansen. “He’s done a solid
three years for us and our program. He’s been helping us to (the CIF Southern Section playoffs) the last three years. He has a chance to play at the next level.” Parisi added that Christiansen is just a solid player to have on the team. “He’s a great competitor,” Parisi said. “He’s a great leader. He loves playing the game. He respects the game, plays it the right way. I’m fortunate to have coached him for three years.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.

Sriracha factory gets a boost from office of Texas Governor By Shel Segal As the Irwindale City Council is getting ready this week to vote to declare the Sriracha factory a public nuisance, officials from the city of Azusa toured the grounds of the factory on May 1, according to a published report. The tour of the 650,000-square foot factory by city officials are believed by some to find a company to come to Irwindale if the hot chili sauce manufacturer makes good on its promise to relocate to Texas, according to a published report. Reportedly among the Azusa delegation to the factory on Azusa Canyon Road were City Councilman Robert Gonzales, City Manager James Makshanoff, Director of Utilities George Morrow and Key Accounts Manager Paul Reid, according to that report. Azusa city officials were not the lone public officials to come by the factory as San Fernando Valley Congressman
Tony Cardenas also visited, according to that report. The council drafted a resolution declaring Sriracha a public nuisance because many neighbors have complained that the chili smells “burned their eyes, induced coughing fits and forced them to stay indoors during the fall chili grinding season,” according to that report. That has prompted David Tran, the CEO of Sriracha’s parent company Huy Fong, to invite lawmakers by the Irwindale factory and let them know why he should move the company to their location, according to that report, with the delegation from Texas, a place that has indicated Sriracha would be at home, coming to visit on May 12, according to that report. In addition, Dallas State Rep. Jason Villalba announced Thursday a fellow state Rep. Hubert Vo, of Alief and West Houston, will be joining the delega-

Rick Perry’s Economic Development and Tourism Office. “I am deeply troubled that one of the fastestgrowing and universally beloved condiments in the world – made right here in the USA – could face such blatant obstructionism by a local city govern-
ment,” said Villalba in a press release. “This would never happen in Texas. I am proud my friend and colleague, Hubert Vo, will be joining us in California to meet with Mr. Tran in person and talk in greater detail how Texas can provide a more businessfriendly environment in which to thrive.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.

The Temptations stop in Arcadia - June 7 Arcadia Performing Arts Foundation presents one of the most influential groups of the 20th century, The Temptations, for the final performance in its inaugural season, on Saturday, June 7 at 8pm. For more than forty years, The Temptations have prospered, propelling popular music with a series of smash hits, and sold-out performances throughout the world. The history of the Temptations is the history of contemporary American pop. An essential component of the original Motown machine, that amazing engine invented by Berry Gordy, the Temps began their musical life in Detroit in the early sixties. It wasn’t until 1964, however, that the Smokey Robinson writtenand-produced “The Way You Do the Things You Do” turned the guys into stars. An avalanche of hits followed, many of which, “My Girl,” for instance, attained immortality. The hits kept coming with “It’s Growing,” “Since I Lost My Baby,” “Get Ready,” “Too Proud to Beg,” “Beauty Is Only Skin Deep,” & “I Wish It Would Rain.” The classic lineup was Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin. Beyond the fabulous singing, the Temps became known for smooth stepping and flawless presentations. The Temptation Walk became a staple of American style, flair, flash and class. Millions of

fans saw the Temptations as cultural heroes. When the sixties and seventies turned political, the Temps got serious. They changed their tone, dress and music. Producer Norman Whitfield led the way. His Temptations hits, many featuring Dennis Edwards who had replaced David Ruffin, burned with intensity. “Runaway Child,” “Cloud Nine,” “I Can’t Get Next to You,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and “Psychedelic Shack” still smolder. Other stellar singers -- Richard Street, Ali-Ollie Woodson -- joined, adding their luster to the group’s growing fame. No matter the change in personnel, the Temptations remained true to their tradition. They survived the whims of fashion, whether disco or techno, and stuck to their musical guns. In the eighties, the Temps prevailed with smashes like “Treat Her like a Lady.” Then in the
nineties, another Temptation explosion: It began with their appearance on Motown 25 in 1983; and continued with the NBC mini series that chronicled the group’s history, a ratings triumph over two nights in prime time. The goal of the Arcadia Performing Arts Foundation is to create an endowment of $10 million that will result in an additional $50,000 or more per year for the Performing Arts Center and the district arts programs. The Arcadia Performing Arts Center is destined to be a world-class venue where lessons are learned, talent is fostered and an impressive array of arts is shared and cultivated.

Mr. Meadows dear wife lives in a separate care facility. As his eyesight worsened, Mr. Meadows began to fear that he would lose the ability to safely drive himself to visit her every day, or even to write checks and read important mail. “Eventually,” he lamented, “I will be completely blind from this.”
The MYTH De-Bunked
Dr. Richard J. Shuldiner of Low Vision Optometry of Southern California corrected the record about Macular Degeneration and also provided a solution for Mr. Meadows. “I re-assured him that as distressing as it seemed, Macular Degeneration never causes blindness. While it affects the central vision, he will always have his peripheral vision.” Dr. Shuldiner prescribed strong “PRISMATIC” glasses for everyday reading and writing, and another pair of “BIOPIC TELESCOPIC” glasses that allow Mr. Meadows to drive safely. “I can spend time with my wife, and run regular errands safely. I am very relieved,” says Mr. Meadows.
Happy patient Lee Meadows, 91, wearing new prescription glasses.

California Chrome parlays victory in $1 million Santa Anita Derby to storybook triumph in Kentucky Derby In becoming the first California-bred to win the Kentucky Derby since 1962, California Chrome made worldwide headlines Saturday, and, he took a giant stride toward greatly enriching the life of Eddie Espinoza, 72, who resides in nearby Whittier. A winner of the Santa Anita Derby Millionaire Contest on Santa Anita Derby Day, April 5, Espinoza not only cashed a Santa Anita-sponsored win wager of $7,500 for $26,000 on Saturday, he moved closer to a $1 million dollar jackpot should “Chrome” complete racing’s Triple Crown by winning his next two starts—the Preakness Stakes on May 17 and the Belmont Stakes on June 7. Espinoza and his wife, Susan, watched Saturday’s Derby from Santa Anita’s Eddie Logan Suite on the track’s Club House turn with a group of family and friends. “I was jumping up and down, especially my heart!” said Espinoza, a retired customer service executive. “I didn’t know the horse went up to 5-2, so I was really surprised we won that much

money. I’m trying to get my wife to go with me (to the Preakness in Baltimore, Md.). I’m just amazed. I’m in awe and we thank God for these blessings, it’s unbelievable.” Espinoza, who has been coming regularly to Santa Anita on Saturdays for “about 20 years,” reserves Sundays for his wife. “We go to church and then we go to breakfast,” said Susan Espinoza. “This is so awesome and we are so grateful.” Although Eddie Espinoza is ticketed for a trip to Baltimore in two weeks, he and his wife are adamant about where they will be
should California Chrome be in search of a Triple Crown sweep at Belmont Park June 7. “We’re going to watch it right here, on the front row, in the Eddie Logan Suite,” the couple said in unison. Along with an $8,000 score in the Santa Anita Derby, the Espinozas have now collected $34,000 in winnings, courtesy of The Great Race Place, which will provide them with a $10,000 win ticket on the one and only California Chrome in the Preakness, which could set the stage for a million dollar score in the Belmont.
Evensong in Eastertide May 18 at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Monrovia The choir of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Monrovia, along with guest singers, will present a free public performance of Henry Purcell’s Declare His Honour on Sunday, May 18, at 4 p.m. The Rev. Neil A. Tadken will be celebrant and cantor. The concert will be held at the historic church, 122 S. California Avenue at Foothill Boulevard. A freewill offering will be taken, and a wine and cheese reception will follow in Guild Hall. Based on the services held daily in the medieval Church, Evensong has been regularly sung since the 16th Century. The tradition has produced a magnificent repertoire of choral music. Declare His Honour is part of Purcell's 1688 verse anthem O sing unto the Lord. The text is derived from Psalm 96, which includes the exhortation, “Declare his honour unto the heathen and his wonders unto all

people.” “This magnificent anthem makes extensive use of our fine solo voices,” says Music Director and composer Kent Bennett Jones, who will accompany the singers on the church’s three-manual, forty-two-rank Bascom & Vaughan pipe organ. “As always, St. Luke’s worldclass acoustics will enhance the experience for our audience.” Purcell’s works have
influenced composers and musicians from his own contemporaries to the present day. In 2009 Pete Townshend of The Who identified Purcell's harmonies as an influence on the band's music. Sting recorded the composer’s The Cold Song for his 2009 album If on a Winter's Night, and an adaptation of one of Purcell’s processionals for synthesizer is the theme music for the film A Clockwork Orange.

So, we’re really excited it will incentivize people to give and have that matched up to $10,000 of straight giving.” Wilson said for the live auction there were many items being bid on, especially some hot local sports items. “We’ve got two tickets for the Kings playoff game and we’ve got a jersey signed by this year’s players,” he said. “We have two playoff tickets to the Clippers next series and a Blake Griffin jersey and shoe. We’ve got a condo in Kauai. There’s just a whole bunch of amazing items.” He added another 60 items were being auctioned off through the silent auction. “We have everything from sports memorabilia to jewelry to baskets,” Wilson said. “We have barbecue baskets, a date night basket.” Wilson said in the end the club is a wonderful organization to which to donate as it does wonderful work in the community. “The Boy’s and Girl’s

Kentucky Derby helps Boy’s and Girl’s Club of Foothills With the goal of raising $10,000 for its programs, the Boy’s and Girl’s Club of the Foothills hosted an event for “Derby Day” at Santa Anita Race Track on Saturday that included a live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby and a ceremony honoring Monrovia Mayor Mary Ann Lutz. John Wilson executive director of the club, said funds are being solicited to help the club on a day-today basis. “We’re raising money for the club,” Wilson said. “We have about 300 kids who attend the club every day. We have 100 kids on our waiting list.” He added funds are also needed as the club is moving from its present location on Shamrock Avenue in Monrovia. “We’re taking over the Mary Wilcox Center and we’ll have a fully devoted teen center over there, so we’re increasing our capacity,” he said. “All that means we need to raise more money.” Wilson also said there were a number of ways attendees of the event could donate to the club. “We have a silent auction, we have a live auction,
and other apparatus will be on display, and there will be hot dogs and other refreshments as well as entertainment. Fire Station 33 is on the west side of Lake Avenue just north of Villa Street.

Crime Trends The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Temple Station is proud to provide premier law enforcement services to the following cities and communities: Bradbury, Duarte, Rosemead, South El Monte and Temple City; and the unincorporated areas of South San Gabriel, El Monte, Monrovia, Arcadia, Duarte, East Pasadena, and North San Gabriel. Statistics for the month of March have been plotted by our crime analyst, which provides an overview of reported crimes. Based on the statistics, please take the time to evaluate your personal, home and business security plans. Residential, commercial and vehicle burglary rates continue to rise within our jurisdiction. Tips and information provided each month are provided to help keep you and your property safe. It can only be truly effective when you use the information at home and within your businesses. Currently, crime trends show an influx of thefts involving automotive batteries, wood pallets and auto burglaries. Temple Station actively researches and employs available technology to help the patrol deputies in the field, but we need you to join in and do your part to minimize your vulnerability of becoming a victim. Besides
being alert and observant of activities in your neighborhoods and business districts, communicate. Talk to your neighbors. Attend neighborhood watch meetings and other community forums. Accurate and timely information is vital to identifying and apprehending criminals. Write down serial numbers and/or take pictures of valuable property. Keep documents, which are included with computers and other big ticket items which have model and serial numbers. It is important when criminals are found in possession of property that might be stolen for us to quickly and accurately identify the rightful owners. The trend of stealing automotive type batteries is on the rise. Etch your initials or other symbol unique to you on the battery case. It is not recommended to place numbers on your property such as social security numbers because they could be used in identity theft schemes. With the cost of energy rising, many of us are inclined to open windows rather than use air conditioners and coolers during warmer temperatures. Please do not forget to lock them when you leave. If you intend to leave them open while sleeping, consider attaching a bell or something that will alert you if someone tampers or
tries to make entry. Again, retail tool outlets and home improvement centers offer battery powered devices, which attach quite easily to doors and windows and emit a loud shrill when activated. Contact and impact activated devices are available at a reasonable cost. As with any alarm system it offers no guaranty, but the loud noise could be enough to ward off an intruder. While the Sheriff’s Department does not endorse or recommend any particular brand, shop alarm or home monitoring companies like “simpli safe” for a security system that fits into most budgets. If you are reading this article you have taken the first step in the fight against crime. Please call us if you are interested in information about our Station Volunteer or Reserve Deputy Sheriff programs. Information and communication is paramount to keep all of us informed about what is going on in your community, consider subscribing to “Nixle.” To register or obtain more information go to http://www.nixle. com/. If you need to report an incident, would like additional information or have suggestions concerning crime prevention or neighborhood/business watch programs, please call Temple Station at (626) 285-7171 or dial 9-11 for an emergency.

People suffering from Strokes and Fibromyalgia are among the many groups that can benefit from emerging new collection of noninvasive techniques that is designed to strengthen the nervous system. Glendale resident Phyllis Parker, 72, who had a stroke when she was 29 years-old, is one of those people. “As I grow older, problems are surfacing more and I suffer from chronic pain,” said Parker who was referred to Dr. Rofagha after she hurt her back and could not get out of bed. “It scared me. I slowly regained some strength and went to Dr. Rofagha’s office where she explained that she was trying to wake up the nerves in my body. As a doctor’s daughter, I

Dr. Rofagha’s interest in progressive non-invasive healing techniques was born years ago from her own frustration and desire to help alleviate some of her mother’s life-altering pain. It has since grown into a passion to help as many people as possible. Currently patients throughout the San Gabriel Valley, San Fernando Valley and Greater Los Angeles travel to Rofagha’s Pasadena office for this oneof-a-kind-treatment. A long-standing national board-certified chiropractor licensed by the State of California Board of Chiropractic Examiners and Neurological Rehabilitation Specialist, Dr. Rofagha and the family Chiropractic Wellness Center is located at 1017 South Fair Oaks Avenue in Pasadena.

was skeptical and had never been to a chiropractor before, let alone one who uses new non-invasive techniques. After my second session with Dr. Rofagha, I did not need any pain medication.” Fibromyalgia sufferer Karen Singer, also a patient of Dr. Rofagha, was at her wits end because the constant pain that traveled throughout her body for decades was becoming unbearable. “I am always amazed at how much Dr. Rofagha is able to accomplish with these gentle and non-invasive techniques that rehabilitate the nerves. Though, as with the very nature of Fibromyalgia, I always have pain throughout my body, I don’t have the persistent lower back pain that I have endured for so many years,” said Singer. “My daughter drives me to Dr. Rofagha’s office from Sherman Oaks as often as possible because her methods have enhanced the quality of my life. I still have many health issues, including Fibromyalgia, but am definitely more mobile and productive now, and most importantly, hopeful.” Hailed as miraculous by existing patients, Neuro-
ners are from USC although auditions were held for students from the music departments of other southern California colleges and universities. Each winner entertained the Fine Arts Club members and guests following dinner with classical piano music selections. The Fine Arts Club of Pasadena celebrated its Centennial in October, 2013. It is one of the oldest philanthropic organizations in the west. The club is dedicated to encouraging the creation, execution and appreciation of work in all branches of the fine arts. The organization’s mission is grounded in the belief that the arts
enrich the cultural life of the community and artists should be supported. The Fine Arts Club continues to provide a venue for artists to exhibit and perform throughout the year. The club’s next dinner and program will be on Monday, June 2, again at the Athenaeum at Hill and California Streets. The reception, with visual art exhibits, begins at 6:00 pm, dinner is at 6:45, and the musical program commences at 8:15. Cost is $60.00 per person.

Technological advances and the internet have created countless ways for people to communicate and exchange information in a matter of seconds, at any time of the day. However, this communication is not always positive. Research shows that 1 in 4 kids in the United States are bullied and cyberbullied on a regular basis (Bullyingstatistics.org). According to the Cyberbullying Research Center, an estimated of about 160,000 students stay home and not go to school because they are afraid of being bullied. Bullying is defined as “unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or
perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.” Cyberbullying is defined as “bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites.” Thus, it is evident that bullying in not only a problem that is affecting our family, school and community but that it is a national issue. Due to the popularity of social media sites like FaceBook, Twitter, Ask, Instagram and Tumblr, users are taking advantage of these outlets to communicate their bullying attacks with out a face-toface contact. Some examples of how cyberbullying is done is by creating fake profiles and using them to harass victims
or by creating group pages where individuals could anonymously criticize and ridicule vulnerable targets. Victims and perpetrators are rapidly growing and disastrous consequences are intensifying; such by the compelling acts of suicides due to cyberbullying and bullying overall. It is important to realize that suicide is the third leading cause of death among teenagers between the ages of 10 and 24; which results in about 4,600 deaths per year and for every one suicide, there are at least 100 suicide attempts (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). As President Obama has previously addressed, we cannot dismiss any type of bullying and pretend as if it is a normal act of a child or teen. Parents and school personnel must take proper prevention measures to ensure children are not bullying others, as well as protect them from any harm. Parents should also be cautious of how things are going at school, in the neighborhood, and be extra aware of with who
children are communicating at the comfort of their home because unfortunately, ones’ safety is continuously being jeopardized everywhere. Given that, children should never feel as if they have to handle conflicts on their own, especially if it is hindering their physical and mental health. It is suggested that to help reduce this life-taking issues, that a federal policy be enacted to establish proper consequences to the life-threatening crime. Considering that, back in 2008, the Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act (H.R. 6123) was introduced to Congress by sponsor Linda Sanchez, the Representative for California's 39th Congressional District. This act aimed to “amends the federal criminal code to impose criminal penalties on anyone who transmits in interstate or foreign commerce a communication intended to coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress to another person, using electronic means to support severe, repeated, and hostile behavior” (California
Legislative Information). However, it was not enacted. On the bright side, this pass April 2014, the state of Alaska passed Senate Bill 128 which would “criminalize the cyberbullying of a minor as a misdemeanor offense and make it illegal to repeatedly send electronic communications that insult, taunt, challenge, or intimidate a person under 18 in a manner that causes fear of physical injury.” The bill from Alaskan Senator Kevin Meyer passed at 19-0 and will next goes to the House. Similarly Assembly Bill 1455, introduced by Nora Campos which as of April 24, 2014 is in the Senate, it is in the process in advocate for the issue revolving bullying. This bill would “authorize schools to provide referrals for mental health services for the victim, witnesses, and other pupils who are affected by an act of bullying.” It is crucial that students, parents, school, and the community as a whole be more active in becoming aware of what cyberbullying and bullying is. It is detrimen-
tal to our nation that you recognize the strong support you can provide these bills so that they can result in laws to help save lives. Be more informed today! References Alaska Senate.

will be placed in an important location at the school. “The mural is of this angel and there’s a depiction of the (San Gabriel) mission as well,” Pineda said. “It’s actually going to be placed in our chapel. We’ve been renovating here at the high school. That mural is going to go there.” Fr. Bruce Wellems of the mission said the mural has some history to it. “First of all, this was a mural that was given to the city of San Gabriel years ago,” Wellems said. “They were looking for a place to display it. I came over here and talked to (school principal) Jamie Collins and he said, ‘I think we have some place for it.’” Wellems added the mural is very nice to look at.
“It’s a beautiful mural,” Wellems said. “It’s about sending a positive message. This is sending a positive message to people.” Collins said the mural presents a good lesson to teach the school’s students. “It’s a great opportunity for the school because of connection it has to Mexico and our sister city,” Collins said. “Part of teaching our girls is to be global citizens and seeing through the visual artist the beauty of this mural and what it represents through its themes speaks to our mission as a school.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.

Rocio Martinez Pineda, director of development and alumni relations for the school, said the mural is really beautiful. “This is being given to us through a program called the U.S.-Mexico Sister Cities Board,” Pineda said. “They work on relations with the U.S. and Mexico. This beautiful mural is being given to us. The city (of San Gabriel) had it and now it’s being given to us. It was given to them by the artists.

17th Annual Big Night Out Mega Marketing Event
Continued from page 1
was hosted by Liz Rusnak Arizmendi. Over the past 16 years the event has raised more than $3 million, directly helping those in our community dealing with HIV/AIDS. The money is raised through a series of contributions, ticket sales to the exclusive event and of course auctioning off art and other valuables. For 26 years, AIDS Service Center (ASC) has been serving the HIV/AIDS community in Los Angeles County. ASC was created from a need in the community. Thier humble beginnings as an answering machine in the basement under the stairwell of All Saints Church was in response to the community’s need to seek answers to a new illness that was affecting gay men and others. The stigmas attached were rampant. ASC enlisted two women’s organizations to assist in broadening the acceptance of its work. The YWCA and Women at Work jumped in wholeheartedly. ASC grew over the years, continuing to develop ground-breaking models for the care of this ever changing disease. ASC was one of the first organizations in the United States to develop a Family & Pediatrics Case Management program in 1991. In continuing this tra-
dition ASC has embarked upon a new change within the organization. ASC expected the federal money (Ryan White Care Act) that ASC and others have relied on for many of our programs to shift its funding model, which would mean recipients of these funds would have to directly provide medical treatment. For years we have been linked to agencies that provide this kind of service but did not provide it directly. Because of this change and the goal of continuing to improve the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS in Los Angeles County, ASC has transferred the majority of its federally funded care programs into Andrew Escajeda Comprehensive Care Services at the Pasadena Public Health Department (PPHD). This has ensured that their clients are still able to access all of the services we had provided as well as their medical treatment in one facility if needed. Importantly, this transition has reduced ASC’s overhead by up to 75%, allowing more money to go directly to the programs and services we still offer to the community. ASC has continued its oversight of the following areas: Outreach & Prevention and Basic Needs,
which includes our Housing Department. The need for an expanded Outreach & Prevention program is critical because the transmission of HIV continues to this day. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, there is an estimated 60,000 persons living with HIV in Los Angeles County with over 20% unaware of their status. Educating communities and individuals about HIV/AIDS and connecting people who are HIV positive to medical care will help to reduce HIV transmission. ASC has increased its Outreach & Prevention efforts. They offer HIV 101 education, community partners professional development, a Peer-to-Peer program, community events outreach, condom distribution, and online educational interaction. In terms of Basic Needs, they offer housing services, a supplemental food card program, a food pantry (done in partnership with PPHD and AIDS Project Los Angeles [APLA]), help with getting household items for clients, and educational scholarships. It is important to remember that the medical needs of someone living with HIV can tend to take a secondary role if the basics of housing and food are not being met.

Pasadena Showcase House really does benefit the arts By Susan Motander Each year the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) transforms a local mansion into a display for the talents of various local interior decorators and landscape designers. Part of the group’s title implies that they do this “for the Arts”, but most people do not realize exactly what they do. In addition to supporting the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, the group hosts concerts for fourth grade students and sponsors a “Music Mobile” which introduces third grade students to musical instruments. If this were not enough, the group also invests the funds it generates through Showcase House in music throughout the Los Angeles area, especially the San Gabriel Valley. PSHA does this through its grants program. Last year’s Showcase House generated enough funds to support the groups regular projects, but also to fund more than 60 grants totally $685,000. The grants went to projects as diverse as musical education at the Braille Institute to concerts
at the Los Angeles Museum of Art, from scholarships to various music schools and academies to the Wednesday noon concerts given by the Pasadena Presbyterian Church. Local public schools also benefited from the work of the organization. Several of the schools have foundations that support such programs, others applied directly for grants. Among the school districts that received grants was the Monrovia Unified School District. In accepting the grant from Showcase at their recent presentation ceremony, Patrick Garcia, the district’s Director of Performing Arts, announced the money would be used to fund instrumental music programs in the Clifton Middle School’s Strings Music Program. Garcia said, “Our whole purpose in applying for the grant was to provide new strings instruments for the students to use in the newly refitted stringed instrument program at the school. We have long had a band program at Clifton, but the grant will allow us to provide violins, violas and
cellos for the students in the strings program.” Garcia said he was especially impresses with the presentation program PSHA put on for the grant recipients, saying: “It was fantastic to be in a room with that many people committed to music programs It is amazing to be in that kind of company. Music has been shown to improve students academic careers in many ways and it was wonderful to meet so many people dedicated to music.” Another local school, Marshal Fundamental School in Pasadena will also use their grant money for instruments. Their band director announced that
-Courtesy Photo their 100-year-old music program was celebrating its anniversary with a concert on May 17 of this year. He also said that the grant from Showcase would be used to purchase tubas as his program now has 5 students who wish to study tuba and 1½ tubas. Everyone only was quite intrigued by half a tuba. In all more than 15 schools received much needed grants from the Showcase House. This is the last weekend to support the Showcase House for the Arts this year as the last day is May 11.

“Wildfire Awareness Week” Declared in California for May 4-10
— INFORMATION CENTER OPEN — Now Welcoming Visitors
CAL FIRE encourages wildfire preparedness and prevention
Drought conditions have led to a significant increase in wildfire activity and to ensure Californians are ready, Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. has declared May 4-10, 2014 as “Wildfire Awareness Week”. CAL FIRE is reminding residents during Wildfire Awareness Week of the dangers posed by wildfires and the simple steps that should be followed to prepare for and prevent them. “Fire Season really never ended last year in many parts of California,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, CAL FIRE director. “We continue to have very dry conditions and experience unusually early fire behavior that is extreme for this time of year.” According to the state’s final snow survey on May 1, the statewide snowpack water content is only 18 percent of normal. Between January 1 and May 3, CAL FIRE has responded to over 1,200 wildfires that have charred nearly 2,700 acres. In an average year for the same time period, CAL FIRE would typically respond to fewer than 600 wildfires. During Wildfire Awareness Week, CAL FIRE is reminding Californians that when it comes to wildfires, remember “Ready, Set, Go!”. Being Ready for a wildfire starts by maintaining 100 feet of Defensible Space and hardening homes with fire resistant building materials. “With this year’s drought it is absolutely critical that residents be

prepared for wildfires by ensuring they have 100 feet of Defensible Space around their homes,” said Chief Pimlott. “Most wildfires are preventable and we need residents and vacationers to be extra cautious outdoors because one less spark means one less wildfire.” Homeowners looking for additional information on how to prepare themselves, their families and their homes for wildfire can visit www.ReadyForWildfire.org. The site of-
fers tips for residents to make their homes more resistant to wildfires and to ensure that their families are ready to evacuate early and safely when a wildfire strikes. Governor Brown has called on all Californians to reduce their water use by 20 percent and prevent water waste – visit SaveOurH2O.org to find out how everyone can do their part, and visit Drought.CA.Gov to learn more about how California is dealing with the effects of the drought.

Pasadena Heritage presents remembering and rediscovering Busch Gardens On Saturday, May 10th, Pasadena Heritage will host Michael Logan in a showing of “Remembering Busch Gardens”, in celebration of National Preservation Month Industrialist and cofounder of the AnheiserBusch Corporation, Adolphus Busch, and his wife Lily, bought a winter home on Orange Grove Boulevard in 1904, and immediately began working with a prominent landscape architect to beautify their property, planting rare and exotic plants and trees, installing fanciful water features, and turning the bed of the Arroyo into a botanical wonderland. In 1905 they opened their garden to the public, and Busch Gardens became a major tourist attraction with over 1,000,000 visitors between 1905 and 1938 when the gardens closed for good. Memories of the once world famous and first Busch Gardens in Pasadena have nearly vanished since closing in 1938. However, most of the original features survived but

many are hidden on private property. In his presentation, researcher Michael Logan matches historic images to their same exact locations a century later. On the following Saturday, May 17th, docent-led walking tours will allow visitors a rare opportunity to walk the historic pathways and staircases in search of the many remnants of the past. Key garden sights will be highlighted, including the Old Mill, originally built as a
playhouse for Mr. Busch’s daughter, and the Grecian Pergola, which was part of the original entrance to the gardens. This illustrated lecture will take place at 10:00 a.m. on May 10th, at the Women's City Club of Pasadena. On May 17th tours will depart in thirty-minute increments starting at 9:00 am, and the tour will last approximately two hours.

Butterflies are free at Kidspace By Shel Segal
style meets functionality
-Courtesy Photo
Kids young and old came together on Saturday as Kidspace in Pasadena celebrated the life cycle of the butterfly during its 18th Annual Grand Butterfly Release. This long-standing tradition at the museum gave Kidspace guests the opportunity to participate in the release of more than 500 butterflies per day from the museum’s Stone Hollow Amphitheater. Kidspace guests were invited to celebrate the life of the butterfly with interactive and engaging activities, like decorating their own butterfly wings, creating antennae, learning about the anatomy of a butterfly and learning how a butterfly eats. Kidspace had guests adopt a caterpillar earlier in the year, which was to be released on Saturday now that it had turned into a butterfly. After their release, butterflies are said to be able

to find their natural food source in the museum’s gardens, which are filled with plants native to the surrounding Arroyo Seco. “Butterflies offer some of the most spectacular colors and patterns in the natural world,” said Louise Leborgne, Kidspace’s nature specialist. “This year we’ll be showcasing a variety of butterflies, including painted ladies, monarchs, cabbage whites, red admirals, and gulf fritillaries.” Susan Cardosi-Albert, retail and communications manager for Kidspace, said the main objective of the activity is to teach children about the outdoor world. “What we’re trying to do at the core of it is we’re trying to connect kids and families to the outdoors and getting to know different types of animals and insects and have them start to realize what’s happening in the world around them,” Cardosi-Albert said. “That’s the kind of developmental
process that we’re trying to achieve.” She added this butterfly project can be effective for very little kids, as well. “Even when they’re younger they can experience something because there’s still that observation level,” Cardosi-Albert said. “For them to really become engaged and utilize their ‘adoption sheet’ for their caterpillar and start drawing the life cycle it’s best for ages 3 and up.” In addition, she said families come from everywhere to participate in the event. “It’s definitely become a tradition for a lot of families in Southern California,” she said. “We have families coming in from all over L.A. County, Orange County, Ventura County and even from San Diego.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com. He can be followed via Twitter @ segallanded.)

Eric Walsh
Opinion Speechless in Pasadena
Continued from page 1
cal public official has been caught spreading fear, ignorance and hatred among the community via his sermons at a local church. Pasadena city officials placed Public Health Director Dr. Eric Walsh on temporary paid administrative leave last Thursday in the fallout of contentious statements he had made about homosexuality and evolution. In sermons uploaded to various websites, Dr.Walsh, a Seventh-day Adventist preacher, calls evolution "a religion created by Satan," compares Disney to a "dark empire" of superstition and witchcraft, and censures homosexuality. Community reaction was swift and bold: According to WEHO Ville “ Dr. Eric Walsh has been recorded preaching sermons criticizing society’s growing acceptance of gay and lesbian people. Walsh even attacked the American Psychiatric Association’s decision in 1973 to declassify homosexuality as a mental illness, saying those who supported it were “raised up by the (devil).” In a sermon focused on the Bible’s story of Sodom and Gomorrah, Walsh also attacked schools for their tolerance of LGBT students. “In our public school system they began to teach moral relativism,” he was recorded as saying. “They began to teach that there really is no absolute right or wrong. It’s more a matter of what you think or what you accept. And (according to that doctrine) if two adults agree to do something, it’s not wrong because they are both consenting adults. That is doctrine from the pits of hell. What makes something right is not based on man, it is based on God.” Pasadena is one of the few California cities with its own public health department. Most, including West Hollywood, are served by a county health department. It is a town lauded by the Advocate, a national gay magazine, for its gay community. “This beautiful but sleepy city adjunct to Los Angeles (is) a kind of bedroom community for gays who like to garden,” the Advocate said in its ranking, noting that the city also had two gay elected city officials. Walsh, a Seventh-day Adventist, also has spoken
out against the theory of evolution, accusing those who teach it of doing “the devil’s handiwork.” Walsh's comments became common knowledge after he was slated to replaced Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black as Pasadena City College's commencement speaker. College officials said they replaced Black because they found stolen photographs of him and an ex-boyfriend engaged in sexual acts on Internet gossip sites, according to the school newspaper, the PCC Courier. The college, now has reversed its original decision and requested Black back. No word yet on Black’s response to PCC. Walsh was hired as the director of Pasadena's Public Health Department in 2010. He also served as the city's public health officer and oversaw the creation of a dental clinic that served low-income patients, as well as those with HIV/AIDS who could not get care elsewhere. Pasadena City Manager Michael J. Beck has released the following statement regarding Dr. Eric Walsh, Director, Pasadena Public Health Department: “Dr. Eric Walsh has been placed on temporary paid administrative leave to provide the City of Pasadena the opportunity to complete an inquiry into statements made by him, in his private capacity, and to assess the impact those statements may have on his ability to effectively lead the City’s Public Health Department. “During this time, Dr. Vivian Yeh is the City’s Acting Health Officer. Ms. Leticia Saenz will oversee administrative responsibilities for the Department. The Pasadena Public Health Department remains a strong and vital part of the City of Pasadena organization and remains dedicated to protecting the health and wellness of our entire community.” The City organization is made up of many different people from all backgrounds, races, faiths, family makeup, gender orientation and political beliefs. The City holds diversity and inclusiveness as an important value in the workplace and in our community. Walsh earned $193,600 and $56,900 in benefits.
Don't cry over spilled MILK
Black is back at PCC Commencement speaker, at least that’s what they tell us. He - Dustin Lance Black – was previously asked and then the city college rescinded its invitation causing considerable guffaws. Then they invited Dr. Eric Walsh – an overtly homophobic Seventh Day Adventist preacher who moonlights as public health director for the city of Pasadena. That invitation was turned down due to “scheduling conflicts….” And then, voila….The City of Pasadena learns of Walsh’s horrendous hatefilled sermons and gives him the boot…albeit with pay…a whole lot of pay. What’s wrong with this picture? Well in a nutshell, everything. Are we, in 2014, still battling homophobia, hatred, hypocrisy and ignorance? Oh, yes indeed. At the eleventh hour….

Explosion in Rosemead sends one to hospital One man was transported to a local hospital after he was injured in an explosion early Wednesday while reportedly making hash oil in Rosemead. The blast occurred just after 1 a.m. in the 8000 block of Emerson Place according to a published report in the Los Angeles Times. “The first deputies to
arrive at the scene found a burned-down shed, damaged fence and scorched brush. Five homes nearby were evacuated. The man has not been taken into custody and the investigation is ongoing.” NBC Los Angeles reported the man was making "hash oil" at the time of the explosion. If confirmed, it would be the latest in a
series of hash oil-related production facilities uncovered in the region this year, some of which also have led to explosions. “The substance is also known as "butane honey oil,” the waxy substance can produce an even stronger high for users, who can inhale or vaporize the oil without the strong odor of marijuana,” according to reports.

B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving School now taking applications for upcoming June 28-29 classes at Pomona Dedicated to providing young motorists and their parents, free of charge, an intensive driver training program focused on increasing concentration, confidence, and control behind the wheel, B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be Responsible And Keep Everyone Safe) is now accepting registrants for an upcoming program to be held on Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29 at the legendary Pomona Fairplex from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and1:00 p.m. - 5:00p.m. The Teen Pro-Active Driving Schools are offered to young motorists and their parents which emphasize concentration, conscientiousness and car control in a driving environment where distractions and loss of focus have contributed to numerous traffic accidents across the country. The program is free of charge and over 10,000 teenagers
have completed the life-saving course since its creation in 2008. “These schools are challenging, demanding, but at the same time enjoyable and eye-opening,” says B.R.A.K.E.S. founder Doug Herbert. “The thing we see repeatedly at just about all of our schools is the change in attitude the kids go through from the time they arrive to when they complete the course. At first they question why they need this training since they already have their driver’s license, and when the course is over, they’re amazed at how much they’ve learned.” Herbert knows in a personal way how tragedy can strike when a young driver makes an avoidable mistake. His two adolescent sons, Jon and James, were both killed in a devastating head-on collision
six years ago not far from their North Carolina home which led to Herbert and a group of his sons’ classmates bringing together the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. “We want to bring our program to every state in the country,” states Herbert. “Our goal is to help kids everywhere avoid making serious mistakes behind the wheel and we’re well on our way to doing that.” Please register online at www.putonthebrakes. org and a confirmation will be sent to you (requesting a $99 refundable check to hold your spot). Classes usually fill up fast so register now to insure a place for your teenager(s).

A new California Appellate case just published August 8, 2013, “Glaski v. Bank of America”, holds that a homeowner can challenge his lender’s right to foreclose by showing that the Deed of Trust never made it into the securitized trust until after the trust’s closing date. This is the case in most loans made in the last 12 years. If the bank foreclosed we should be able to get the homeowner money damages and/or the house back. Or a lawsuit could be filed and a court ruling obtained preventing the court from foreclosing. Recently enacted Sections 2924(a)(6) and 2924.19 of California Civil Code provide the same relief to homeowners. It is highly suggested that homeowners take this window of opportunity to get relief before the banks get Congress to close this door with national legislation. Contact us so we can help you.

Pasadena and Glendale schools garner ‘Distinguished School’ awards State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson today named 424 public elementary schools California Distinguished Schools for their strong commitment and innovative approaches to improving student academic achievement. “I applaud these strong, thriving schools that are making such impressive strides in preparing their students for continued success,” Torlakson said. “This award is well-deserved by these school communities for their enduring dedication to high standards, hard work, and unwavering support.” The 2014 California Distinguished Schools Program focuses on California’s students’ right to an equitable and rigorous education, and recognizes those schools that have made progress in narrowing the academic achievement gap. To apply for Distinguished School honors, schools must meet a variety of eligibility criteria, including accountability measures. Once schools are deemed eligible, the California De-
partment of Education (CDE) invites them to apply to be recognized as a California Distinguished School. The process consists of a written application, which includes a comprehensive description of two of the school's signature practices, and a county-led site validation review process focused on the implementation of those signature practices. Schools earning the Distinguished School title agree to share their signature practices with other schools and become a mentor to those seeking to replicate their work. An updated searchable database of these Signature Practices will be available later this spring from the CDE. To view the current Signature Practices Web portal, please visit the Distinguished Schools Signature Practices Web page. Elementary and secondary schools are recognized in alternate years. For more information, please go to the California Distinguished Schools Program Web page. Schools selected as California Distinguished Schools will be honored in early June
during regional award ceremonies. Also being honored during the ceremonies are the Title I Academic Achievement Awardees, which will be announced next week; Green Ribbon Schools; Civic Learning Award schools; and schools recognized last fall by the federal National Blue Ribbon Schools Program. In addition to being chosen as Distinguished Schools, 30 schools were given an additional honor of being selected as having an Exemplary Program in either Arts Education or Physical Activity and Nutrition after undergoing a separate application process. These schools will be denoted on the attached list by asterisks—one asterisk for an Exemplary Arts Education Program and two asterisks for an Exemplary Physical Activity and Nutrition Program. The awards, introduced in 2013, reflect Torlakson’s goals outlined in his A Blueprint for Great Schools report, which provides vision and direction for California’s education system.

Fallen police officers from Los Angeles honored in National Campaign Digital billboards throughout the SoCal region honor local officers who fell in the line of duty during 2013
-Courtesy Photo
Clear Channel Outdoor (CCO) and The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund announced a partnership today in support of the organization’s 26th Annual Candlelight Vigil to honor fallen law enforcement officers. To help raise awareness for and drive participation in the Vigil, CCO will be donating space on its digital billboards throughout the country. The Candlelight Vigil, which will take place on May 13 at 5 p.m. PST, will honor the 286 U.S. law enforcement officers whose names are being formally dedicated on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. As part of this effort, CCO will also be honoring fallen officers in local communities, including Los Angeles, by displaying their images on local digital billboards. In Southern California,
Officer Leonard Luna Jr. of Hawthorne P.D., Officer Keith Lawrence of the USC Public Safety Department and Officer Jon Steven Coutchie of Laguna Beach P.D. are being remembered on billboards throughout the region. The three local officers, who fell in the line of duty during 2013, will be honored as they are added to the National Memorial this year. “After committing themselves to a life of service watching over our communities, these officers made the ultimate sacrifice for our safety and we are honored to stand with the Memorial Fund in remembering their esteemed dedication,” said Layne Lawson, director of public affairs for Clear Channel Outdoor. “Here in Los Angeles and across the U.S., we are all indebted to these heroes and their families. During this year’s Police Week, we
urge all Angelenos to take a moment and remember the sacrifice these officers made for our communities.” The digital billboards in Los Angeles will run images remembering the fallen officers into next week when, on May 13 at 5 p.m. PST, the boards, along with 1,100 others nationwide, will pause for 24 seconds on a single iconic National Police Week image in remembrance of the 286 U.S. law enforcement officers who are being formally dedicated on the National Memorial. CCO is also running images that encourage the public to donate to the Memorial Fund’s United by Light program and to dedicate a virtual candle with a personalized message in honor of a special officer. Altogether, it is estimated that the nationwide, two-week outdoor campaign will reach 37 million people.

Duarte Museum exhibits antique firearms A treasure trove of antique firearms is now on display at the Duarte Historical Museum. Once exhibited at Western State Bank located on Huntington Drive in Duarte in the 1980s, the collection has been in storage until recently. The current property owners have dusted off the collection and donated it to the Museum. “Some of these firearms are a throw-back to the civil
war era. Rendered inoperable for safety sake, many of the pieces are genuine, although a few are replicas,” says Claudia Heller, president of the Duarte Historical Society. The collection has a variety of pieces including a Phoenix Rifle with leather holster, a Remington handgun, a bayonet and a powder horn. “I’m sure as museum visitors look over the collection they will be able to tell
us some details about these firearms,” says Heller. Also on display are civil war photos and a circa 1980 rendering of the Western States Bank. The display will remain through May. The museum is located at 777 Encanto Parkway in Encanto Park, Duarte, and is open Saturdays 1-4 p.m. and the first and third Wednesday of each month 1-3 p.m. Admission is free.

the Seventh Day Adventist Church. We received the following statement from The Southern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists on Wednesday morning. Betty Cooney, Communications Director said told Beacon Media “The Southern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists [an administrative unit of the Adventist Church encompassing Los Angeles, Ventura, and parts of Kern and Santa Barbara Counties] is aware of recent media reports regarding Eric Walsh MD, MPH, DrPH. Dr. Walsh
serves the congregation of the Altadena Seventh-day Adventist Church as an associate pastor on a part-time basis. However, he does not hold ministerial credentials from the Adventist Church, does not speak on behalf of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, and as far we know, does not represent his views as anything other than his own. The Seventh-day Adventist church has a long history of defending the rights of everyone to believe, practice and express their personal religious convictions.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church believes that all people, regardless of race, gender, age, creed, and sexual orientation, are children of God, whom he loves equally. As a Christian community we are called to reflect and spread this love to all of His children. Likewise, the Seventhday Adventist Church strives to serve their local communities. The Seventhday Adventist Church recognizes that every human being is valuable in the sight of God, and seeks to minister to all men and women in the spirit of Jesus.

San Gabriel City Notices CITY OF SAN GABRIEL SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 608-C.S. MAKING CHANGES TO THE CITY’S PARKING, DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND USE REGULATIONS Ordinance No. 608-C.S. amends existing sections and adds new sections of the San Gabriel Municipal Code in order to implement policies and programs developed under the City’s “Greening the Code” grant from the Southern California Association of Governments Compass Blueprint program. These amendments fall into the following three categories: 1. 2. 3.
Parking Development standards Use regulations
The amendments to the parking requirements exempt small nonrestaurant commercial uses from required parking, clarify when additional parking is required by the reconstruction, expansion and change in use of existing non-residential buildings, establish standards for tandem parking for non-residential and multifamily residential uses, allow valet parking to satisfy up to 100% of required commercial parking, and allow for other parking reductions if alternative measures are provided. The amendments also add a reference to the Garage Space Required section in required parking for single-family homes, in which number of required garage spaces is tied to number of bedrooms and modify standards for parking lot surfacing and drainage to include permeable materials and stormwater infiltration. New standards for landscaping of parking lots and parking structures are established and provision is made for the collection and use of a parking in-lieu fee where a parking assessment district has been established. A section on short- and long-term bike parking requirements is added. Lastly, the amendments clarify that tandem parking is prohibited for single family homes and second units. The amendments to the development standards provide for greater lot coverage for residential remodel or expansion projects if recommended architectural preservation measures are incorporated, make the code on metal roofs in R-1 zone consistent with the City’s Design Guidelines, and allow for green roof features that promote stormwater infiltration. Lot coverage in the R-1A zone is made consistent with that allowed in the R-1 zone, including incentives for historic preservation. The amendments provide greater flexibility for designing required façade articulation in R-2 and R-3 zones and require multifamily units located along a street to have their primary entrance facing the street. A section is added to General District Requirements making site drainage and stormwater runoff comply with the NPDES permit and use best management practices. Finally, the amendments require the primary building entrance to face the street, establish minimum standards for storefront transparency, building articulation, pedestrian access and curb cuts and require

building articulation, pedestrian access and curb cuts and require parking be located behind or at the side of buildings in Commercial and Industrial Zones. The amendments to the use regulations define residential accessory buildings and structures and prohibit them in front yards. They also establish interior setbacks for residential accessory buildings and structures based on height and size and remove conflicting language about distance between main building and accessory building. The amendments require fences, walls, and hedges to be setback at least thirty inches from the front property line to provide landscaping. Cottage food operations and the sale of home-grown produce at off-site locations such as farmer’s markets are allowed subject to applicable laws. Standards for location and storage of compost material are also set. The amendments also establish standards for community gardens and open air markets, allow community gardens on empty lots by right in the R-1 zone and in the Mission District Specific Plan area and allow, subject to a conditional use permit, open air markets in the nonresidential zones of the Mission District Specific Plan area and in the R-1 zone and the residential zones of the Mission District Specific Plan area, only on parking lots and other paved areas serving churches, synagogues, temples, mosques and other worship facilities; schools; or other public or quasi-public uses. Community gardens, open air markets, and nurseries are allowed by right in the Open Space/Public Facilities zone and mixed-use development is allowed by right in the C-1 and C-3 zones, unless any individual use or single component of the project requires a conditional use permit. Definitions are added related to rainwater harvesting, community gardens, composting, open air markets, and stormwater regulation. Furthermore, standards are created for ground-mounted solar energy collectors and standards for roof-mounted solar energy collectors are amended. Lastly, the amendments establish standards for the keeping of hens, chicks and bees in the R-1 zone, modify conflicting language about kennels and allow rabbits to be kept in the city. Ordinance No. 608-C.S. was introduced and given first reading by the San Gabriel City Council on May 6, 2014. The Ordinance will be considered for adoption by the City Council at its regular meeting on May 20, 2014. If adopted, it will become effective June 20, 2014. A copy of the complete text of Ordinance No. 608-C.S. is available in the City Clerk’s Office, San Gabriel City Hall, 425 S. Mission Drive, San Gabriel. Eleanor K.

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 wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales and Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting and Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com (Click on the link for "Advanced Search" to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above.
