California School of Culinary Arts Cordon Bleu San Gabriel Program Graduates Over 600 at Santa Anita Approves Cold Winds Didn't Damper New Chefs' Spirits Hotel Bed Tax Measure for March 2013 Ballot

BY JIM E. WINBURN

After the speeches, the seemingly endless line of graduates waited for their names to be called while family and friends watched from the seats above the reace track. With family and friends supporting them, this

The San Gabriel City Council approved two resolutions on Tuesday that place a measure on the Mar. 5, 2013 ballot proposing to increase the transient occupancy tax from 10 to 12 percent.

Looking to the hotel tax as a financial remedy, city officials attribute its budgetary problems to the state’s dissolution of redevelopment agencies, reductions in federal block grant and other funding sources, and increasing demands on aging infrastructure and facilities.

The council took up Resolutions 12-35 and 1236 at their Nov. 6 meeting.

The first called for the increase in the transient occupancy tax to be placed on the March ballot for the General Municipal election by a unanimous vote. But to pass 12-35, City Attorney Robert Kress explained that state law requires at least four affirmative votes from the council for this item.

Dorothy's Place

My Friend Mildred

By Dorothy Denne Getting ready for a Thanksgiving column, I was searching through my files for a copy of a humorous recipe I have for cooking a turkey with wine. Instead I came upon a copy of a poem written a few years ago by my friend Mildred Shaw. I think it gives us better cause to pause to consider our reasons to be thankful.

Exact dates escape me, but about 8 or 10 years ago Mildred, then in her 80s, suddenly became quite ill.

She was admitted to the local hospital for tests to determine the reason. While there she began experiencing vision problems. They transported her to an eye center to diag-

nose the cause. While there she lost her sight, never to regain it.

A short time later, while acclimating to her life in darkness, she composed the following poem for her friends.

How Thankful You Should Be I cannot see the morning sun, I cannot see when day is done.

I cannot see the clear blue sky, Nor the billowing clouds as they roll by.

I cannot see the tall green trees, Nor beautiful leaves swaying in the breeze.

I cannot see huge, rugged mountains, With rivers, streams, and flowing fountains.

I cannot see birds, not even a pair, Nor can I see flocks in the air.

I cannot see houses or buildings tall, Nor can I see the great big mall.

I cannot see the clothes I wear, I hope there’s no spot

or tear.

I cannot see shoes on my feet, But do my best to show up neat.

Sometimes my shoes are a mismatched pair, The loss of eyesight just isn’t fair.

I hope my hair is fixed all right, So I do not look a fright.

I put some make-up on my face, And hope I don’t look a disgrace.

I cannot see food upon my plate, Something there I might really hate.

No notes or letters can I write, I’ve really tried with all my might.

I cannot see to cook or sew, Alas that is my tale of woe.

I cannot drive my car, Without my sight I cannot go far.

Without a friend I cannot walk, Without a friend I cannot talk.

Make a call, pick up your phone, So blind friends won’t feel so all alone.

John Wooden – the Greatest Coach in the History of College Basketball A Man of Impeccable Character

By Harry Sneider As a basketball coach, sports fitness trainer, and motivator of athletes for the last 50 years there’s one individual that has been my example. John Wooden has stood out as one that had character in his coaching as well as his basketball techniques.

I’ve read “They Call Me Coach” a great book about life, coaching, and being a man of character.

We need more individuals not only in coaching but in living that represent these very high standards that John Wooden lived throughout his 99 years on this green earth.

Sarah and I visited the beautiful Pauley Pavilion Basketball Arena, in front of this wonderful new stadium was the statue of John Wooden. Beneath that statue was a quote that also stands above his pyramid of success principles. John personally gave us his pyramid of success principles as well as his portrait and a business card all autographed to us about 15 years ago when he was visiting as a consultant at a nearby Arcadia bank. Sarah and I went to the bank and he graciously spent time with us encouraging us to be the best that we could be in as professional fitness trainers, coaches and parents. We are very grateful for the time that John took with us and it will be remembered forever.

John carried with him his seven-point creed.

When John was 12 years old and graduating from a country grade school, his father gave him this creed – a creed he has tried to live by ever since.

“Making The Most of One’s Self” 1. Be true to yourself. 2. Make each day your masterpiece. 3.

Help others. 4. Drink deeply from good books.

5.

Make friendship a fine art. 6. Build a shelter against a rainy day.

7. Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day.

He handed me the card with his autograph on it that I carry in my wallet.

I bring it out from time to time to be inspired as John was. John was a Bible student that felt the Word of God was to lead him into a great marriage, being a wonderful family man, and being an outstanding coach that the players loved and have followed many of his teachings to

this day. Recently we heard from Bill Walton, his All-American center, who said that there is not a day that goes by that he does not think of what John taught him and those championship teams.

John is the only coach to win 10 national championships in basketball.

At the base of the statue is this quote “Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.”

Child Annoyance Suspect in Monrovia Continued from page 1

was walking home alone after attending an after school sporting event. As the student approached the area of Canyon and Colorado, a male suspect approached her and made inquiries about schools as if he were unfamiliar with the area. When the student answered the suspect’s questions he told her he needed to go to the high school and was in a hurry. The suspect

asked the student to get in his car and direct him to the high school. When the student refused, the suspect offered her $200 to get in his car and direct him to the high school, but she refused again and continued to walk away. The student glanced back and observed the suspect enter his vehicle and drive away.

Suspect Description: Male, Hispanic, 20-25 years

old, 5-09 to 5-10, 180 to 190 pounds, black shaggy hair - medium length, brown eyes, clean shaven, silver metal framed prescription glasses.

Arcadia Welcomes the 49th Pasadena Showcase House of Design On Tuesday, November 6, the Arcadia City Council unanimously approved a special use permit for Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) to hold its annual benefit, the Pasadena Showcase House of Design, in their city. Not one negative comment was made from residents during the entire meeting and after reviewing the extensive application, the meeting ended with the statement “Welcome to Arcadia” from the City Council.

The Pasadena Showcase House of Design is one of the country’s oldest, largest, and most successful home and garden tours. Each year, an estate of architectural significance is renovated by Southern California’s prominent interior and exterior designers using the latest design products and concepts. It will be open for public tours from April 21 through May 19, 2013.

Katherine Watkins, PSHA’s 2013 Benefit Chair, said that she was extraordinarily grateful to the residents and the City Council for welcoming Showcase back to Arcadia. “We have met the most gracious and generous people during our outreach to the neighbors. We are very fortunate to have their support and are deeply apprecia-

tive.”

Two days later, Katherine and the PSHA Benefit Committee hosted nearly two hundred interior and exterior design firms at the “Designer Walk Thru”. After touring the gardens and the Monterey Colonial residence built in 1941 by renowned architect Roland E. Coate, the designers submitted their ideas for the spaces in which they are interested. The Selection Committee is already hard at work reviewing all of the applications and will be announcing their selections within a few days.

One exterior designer was heard to comment on the home’s lovely grounds, “The exterior spaces are very charming and romantic. It is not often that you find native trees as large as these; but, also in such good condition.

Recycle Used Oil & Filters!

Do you change your car’s motor oil? Did you know that used motor oil and oil filters are recyclable?

Used oil can be re-refined or processed into new motor oil. Currently only 46% of used motor oil is being recycled, which means 20 million gallons may be illegally entering California’s waterways via stormwater systems, posing a great risk to the environment. One gallon of used oil can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water; polluting our waterways and threaten fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

Assemblyman Portantino Thanks Residents Dear Editor: It has been an amazing honor to represent so many great communities in the State Assembly over the past six years. The support I received on election night six years ago and during my entire time in office since then has filled my whole family with encouragement and inspiration. You have welcomed me into your homes and generously shared your time, experiences and advice with me.

As my Assembly term comes to an end, so many folks who I had not met be-

fore have offered kind words and encouragement. Many have inquired after my mom and my children. It’s amazing how much folks remember about Sofia and Bella and how much you care about the well-being of the Portantino family. Frankly, I could not have been so steadfast in my efforts to forge an independent course in Sacramento without your strong support at home. And for that I am eternally grateful.

Even on issues for which some have disagreed with me, local folks have done so

with tremendous respect and a positive discourse. None of the divisive rhetoric that is too often on display around our state, nation and on the radio seems to be present in the 44th Assembly District. That is a testament to the thoughtful individuals and families who fill all of our neighborhoods.

During my time in the legislature, I was able to open up Assembly budgeting and successfully pass 38 bills signed by Governors of two parties. This was a benefit of the lessons learned from my

time in local government. I have learned that most people want the system to work and want those in power to be transparent and accountable. You understand and embrace those values. Thank you for sharing them with me.

Ellen, Bella, Sofia, my mother Barbara and I thank you for allowing me the honor of earning your support and for the warmth and love we have felt.

Anthony J. Portantino Assemblymember, 44th Assembly District

Proposition 30: A Wise Investment in California's Future Dear Editor: Election Day 2012 will be remembered for its milestones in our country’s political history. For Californians, especially those who aspire to attain a college education or enter the workforce, this Election Day will also be remembered as the day voters made a wise investment in California’s educational, social and economic future by voting “Yes” on Propo11:15 AM sition 30.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, students, faculty and staff of Citrus College, it is with heartfelt gratitude that I thank the voters of our communities and our state for their efforts and votes in support of Proposition 30. The outcome of your concerns about our state’s economic viability and its educational stability will soon provide students access to additional class sections offered at the state’s 112 community colleges. This year alone, California’s community colleges will

The Doozies

share $210 million in additional funds that enable the state to make good on its deferred funding commitments, and most importantly, serve an additional 20,000 students statewide.

The Citrus College community welcomes the passage of Proposition 30, as it will enable the college to fulfill its institutional goal, A College of Completion.

This initiative, which was adopted at the beginning of the academic year, strives to equip students with the information and support that will help them complete their education at Citrus College in a timely manner and accomplish their future educational and career goals.

Faculty, students and staff have embraced A College of Completion and have begun to explore and implement strategies that will enable students to succeed.

Now, thanks to the passage of Proposition 30, the college will offer more of the classes needed for students to achieve successful out-

comes on their educational journeys.

Proposition 30’s effects on Citrus College will be realized immediately, with current students as its primary beneficiaries.

Approximately 165 class sections are being added to the winter session and spring semester schedules.

These sections represent critical academic and highdemand disciplines such as mathematics, English, science, and fine and performing arts.

These added sections will also enable students to fulfill general education requirements in a more timely manner, so that they can receive an associate degree in one of the college’s 35 programs of study; earn an Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T, AS-T) in one of 13 disciplines that will provide students a pathway into the California State University system with junior standing; earn a career/technical certificate of achievement from 31 areas of study from ad-

ministration of justice to wildland resources and forestry—or a combination of these opportunities. In addition, the college will ensure that students who first need to strengthen their academic skills will also have the classes necessary to expedite their completion.

The aforementioned items align with the Student Success Act of 2012, which was signed into law in September 2012, the mission of the California Community Colleges, and Citrus College’s mission to “support successful completion of transfer, career/ technical education, and basic skills development.”

The next seven years in which Proposition 30 will be in effect will undoubtedly be challenging. I am confident, however, that what we will accomplish will be worthwhile.

Once again, thank you for your vote in support of this important initiative.

Prominent Researchers and Advocates to Gather at World AIDS Day Symposium in Pasadena On World AIDS Day 2012 (December 1), GAIA Global Ambassador Jane Kaczmarek and renowned AIDS expert Dr. Michael Gottlieb will convene a panel of prominent medical researchers and public health officials for a groundbreaking symposium on the latest advances in the fight against AIDS. GAIA (Global AIDS Interfaith Alliance) will bring together leading advocates to discuss the possibilities of the first AIDS free generation in history.

Dr. Gottlieb, who authored the first report in 1981 that identified AIDS as a new disease, will moderate the panel. Joining him are: Dr. Thomas Coates, Distinguished Professor of Global AIDS Research and Director of the Center for World Health at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA; Dr. Eric Walsh, Director of the Pasadena Public Health Department and

former member of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS; and Dr. John Zaia, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Virology at Beckman Research Institute at City of Hope in Duarte, CA. World AIDS Day is observed on December 1 each year. First held in 1988, it is dedicated to raising global awareness in the fight against the AIDS pandemic. The theme for 2012 is “Working Together for an AIDS-Free Generation.” Approximately 34 million people are living with HIV globally. HIV remains the leading cause of death of women aged 15 to 59 around the world.

World AIDS Day Symposium: Saturday, December 1, 2012 11am to 12:30pm Travis Auditorium, Fuller Theological Seminary 135 N. Oakland Ave. Pasadena, CA 91101 This event is sponsored by the Global AIDS Inter-

Pasadena Council Meets Nov. 19 to Consider Temporary NFL Use The City Council is scheduled on Nov. 19 to consider amending the Arroyo Seco Public Lands Ordinance as a preliminary step that would allow a National Football League (NFL) team to temporarily use the Rose Bowl Stadium.

The proposed amendment would allow an NFL team to host home games at the Rose Bowl Stadium for no more than five years if, and when, an NFL team moves to the Los Angeles area while a permanent stadium is being constructed elsewhere.

The Arroyo Seco Public Lands Ordinance currently restricts large events at the stadium with 20,000 or more attending to 12 such large events per year. Of those 12 events, seven are contractually reserved for University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) football games, plus two post-season collegiate games, including the Rose Bowl game. The proposed amendment to the ordinance would allow up to 13 additional large events per year for no more than five years.

The additional events would only be allowed if the City enters into an agreement with an NFL team to lease the Rose Bowl Stadium. No NFL team has been identified as moving to Los Angeles and the City and the Rose Bowl Operating Company have not begun negotiations to lease the stadium to an NFL team.

The City today (Nov. 9) is releasing the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and related documents that were prepared regarding the proposed amendment to the ordinance.

The Final EIR is available for review during regular business hours at the following locations: Office of the City Clerk, 100 N. Garfield Avenue, Room S228, Pasadena, CA. City of Pasadena, Permit Center (Window 3), 175 N. Garfield Avenue, Pasadena, CA. Central Library, 285 E. Walnut Avenue, Pasadena, CA. Linda Vista Branch Library, 1281 Bryant Street, Pasadena, CA. To view the EIR and related documents online,

go to the City’s website at www.cityofpasadena.net/ Rose_Bowl_EIR. For additional information, call David Sinclair at (626) 7446766.

The City Council is scheduled to consider the proposed amendment and the EIR during its Monday, Nov. 19 meeting in the Council Chambers, on the second floor of City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave. The public meeting will be broadcast by KPAS, the City’s government cable access television station on Channel 3 for Charter subscribers and Channel 99 for AT&T U-Verse subscribers.

Whether or not the amended ordinance is approved, the existing ordinance would continue to allow the Rose Bowl Stadium to host the UCLA football games, the Rose Bowl game and other sporting events or concerts.

For more information about the Rose Bowl Stadium go to www.RoseBowlStadium.com. For more information about the City of Pasadena, go to www. cityofpasadena.net.

City of El Monte to Revamp Valley Mall in Downtown Improvement Project City Officials are Seeking to Bring Main Street Back to El Monte

The City of El Monte moved another step forward in the development of the Downtown Improvement Project, which will revitalize and rebrand the downtown Valley Mall area. The City Council recently approved funds to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) that will secure the services of an Architectural/Urban Design firm for master planning of the downtown.

The goal of the Downtown Improvement Project is to transform Valley Mall, which was historically El Monte’s Main Street, back into a vibrant, pedestrianfriendly, and economically active downtown area – while facilitating community interaction throughout the process. Bounded by the railroad tracks, Santa Anita Boulevard and Ramona Boulevard, the area is currently anchored by a traditional outdoor shopping street. With blocks of tree-lined sidewalks serving to connect the civic center to the transit station, the area is primed for economic development opportunities.

“The project is a yet an-

other example of how we, as a forward-thinking community, are tapping into resources that contribute to the thriving of our city, despite the recession,” said Councilmember Norma Macias. “Improving Valley Mall, with the input of our business and community members, will optimize our downtown space – making it safe, attractive, and accommodating for our residents.”

Funded by federallybacked Capital Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and Proposition 1B dollars, the Downtown Improvement Project will not only improve the existing Valley Mall, but will create a new streetscape and landscape enhancements to the area.

The project is set to occur in five phases, with Phase 1 being the selection of an architectural/urban design firm that will began analyze images, adjacent land usage, access, parking, utilities, and other elements necessary to begin site planning. Other phases include conceptual and master

planning, the design of a specific plan that will also begin the call for private investment opportunities, and the estimate scheme for public infrastructure improvements.

Over the past year the City has been working with the El Monte/South El Monte Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown El Monte Business Association to examine various ways to improve and re-brand the Downtown area back to Mainstreet El Monte.

“We applaud the efforts of the City to revitalize and rebrand Valley Mall into Main Street El Monte,” said Ken Rausch, Executive Director of the El Monte/ South El Monte Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown El Monte Business Association. “By retaining a qualified firm to master plan the area, we know the critical first step will be taken in order to transform this area into a real community asset.”

City Officials anticipate issuing an award by January 2013.

The nmale suspect then went to the store’s office and took money from the safe. Both suspects then fled the store

with an unknown amount cash. Suspects are described as Male Blackor Hispanic, dark clothing and gloves.

The Female was Black or Hispanic dark clothing and gloves. Both had their faces covered.

Volunteers and Donations Urgently Needed to Brighten Thanksgiving and the Holidays for Local Families in Crisis For many families in our local communities, hunger never takes a holiday, and being surrounded by the season’s festivities just makes the struggle for survival that much harder. Jobs continue to be scarce, as the unemployment rate in Los Angeles County remains in double digits, and the number of people needing the Center’s help with food has more than tripled during the last four years of the economic downturn.

Moreover, with food and gas prices continuing to go up, and the reduction in USDA commodities to food banks, it has become increasingly difficult for the Center to insure that lowincome families receive the amount of food they need to help stabilize their finances.

As the Center heads into the holiday season, the number of qualified families registering for its Thanksgiving and Holiday food distributions is beginning to climb. We expect to give out more than 3,000

food boxes to low-income families during this year’s Thanksgiving and Holiday Food Distributions at the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia. Each family will take home a food box, packed in accordance with the size of their household, and containing all the ingredients for a festive holiday dinner. At the Holiday event, every family with children will take home an opaque bag of new toys and clothing for each child, which lets the parents give the gifts during their family celebration. Consequently, Children’s gifts also are needed for the family holiday distribution day. The Center invites the community to pick up paper angels hand-decorated by volunteers from schools, businesses, churches and more.

Written on each angel is one child’s gift wishes. Angel adopters may purchase one or more of the gifts listed and return them to the Center with the angel.

According to the Cen-

ter’s Executive Director, Betty McWilliams, “each year, with the help of local residents, businesses, organizations and churches, we’re able to give families in crisis a generous helping of holiday cheer. That gift comes with an even more valuable one: knowing that their neighbors really do care.”

Funds and volunteers (as well as turkeys) are needed urgently to help prepare these essential food packages for our families during these two holiday events. It takes hundreds of hands to make these events happen. For information on volunteer days and shifts, visit the Center’s website at www.foothillunitycenter. org, or call Raina at (626) 358-3486. For information on adopting an Angel, please call Angela at (626) 358-3486. Donations also may be sent by check to Foothill Unity Center, 415 West Chestnut Avenue, Monrovia CA 91016, or made securely online at the Center’s website above.

Santa Anita CEO Resigns Continued from page 1

very successful 29th Breeders’ Cup World Championships held the first weekend in November.

According to Ray Paulick at Paulick Report.com, complete with a clever headline ‘KISS him Goodbye” had this to say: “A horse owner and close friend of 2012 Kentucky Derby-winning trainer Doug O’Neill, Verge drew criticism from the California Horse Racing Board at a July meeting for his planned marketing of the Santa Anita fall meet, much of which centered around O’Neill (including an O’Neill bobblehead giveaway), who served a lengthy suspension this summer for a medication violation.”

Paulick continued that “Verge then had a verbal altercation with the wife of trainer Bob Baffert at the post position draw for Del Mar’s Pacific Classic, days after Verge and partners bought the horse Richard’s Kid and moved him from Baffert to O’Neill’s barn. That alterca-

tion, insiders said, doomed Verge’s chances of making it past the fall meet as Santa Anita’s CEO.” George Haines, the track’s longtime general manager, is expected to run Santa Anita and there is no word yet on whether Gene Simmons, KISS frontman will step up as has been widely reported and speculated.

Verge, a Los Angeles business entrepreneur and a Thoroughbred owner, said at the time he was hired that he owned about 20 businesses.

Among them is Westside Rentals, numerous real estate and restaurant holdings. The blithe Verge came into the Santa Anita CEO position as a complete outsider promising to ‘shake things up ‘as he put it. It seems to have happened, somewhat. According to numerous sources including Thoroughbred Times “Several management and operations responsibilities at Santa Anita Park are being reorganized as part of an ongoing restructuring of man-

agement of the facility to gain operational efficiencies and to help position the landmark horse racing facility for future growth” Mike Willman, Director of Publicity for the track confirmed Verge’s departure in an email to Beacon Media: “Yes. Verge has resigned as have Jimmy Dunne, Damien Lewis, Richard Stevenson and Audrie Stevenson.”

However, there is no other statement from the track at this time.

Frank Stronach hired Verge to bring fresh ideas and a younger audience to Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, which in part he did with a successfu l 626 Asian Market night which was heavily promoted last month and saw record crowds in the infield which track officials hope would encourage the younger Asian professionals to visit the race track during racing season.

We attempted to get comments from the Stronach Group but were unsuccessful.

The Biggest Potluck in the Nation Union Station Homeless Services' Thanksgiving Dinner in the Park The best way to give thanks is to give back. Share your abundance this holiday season by participating in Union Station Homeless Services’ Dinners-in-the-Park.

Nicknamed the “Biggest Potluck in the Nation,” this incredible community event will be held on Thanksgiving Day, November 22 at Central Park, Pasadena (Corner of Del Mar Blvd. and Fair Oaks Avenue). Food is served at noon.

For more than 35 years, thousands of volunteers have purchased, prepared and served meals to all who are hungry at Pasadena’s Central Park on Thanksgiving Day. Dinner-in-the-Park meal recipients include homeless and low-income adults and families, senior citizens, and those who are alone at the holidays or unable to afford a holiday meal. Union Station encourages all who are hungry to come eat, and all who are able to help to donate their time or food items to this holiday outreach event.

“It’s an amazing experience too see so many volunteers working so hard and with so much love – and all the people that donated so much food!,” said Juan. “I volunteer with my family and friends and we can’t wait for the next one!”

“Dinners-in-the-Park is a true community event and would not be possible without the help of our dedicated volunteers and dozens of businesses who make this event such a success,” said Volunteers must register at http://www.unionstationhs. org/dinners_in_the_park. html.

Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts Benefits Youth Music Programs

By Bill Peters $18 million dollars: that is the total funds donated to date to music programs throughout the community from proceeds of the Pasadena Showcase House of Design, the presentation of a local home professionally decorated and opened to the public.

The all-volunteer group has sponsored the event, recognized as the largest and most successful home and garden tours in the country, for the past 48 years.

To ensure the continuance of the generous program, President of the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, Kathryn Hofgaarden and Provisional Chair Mary Ann Clayton, announced the names of the 2013 provisional class.

The provisional class includes Barbara Cser, Pasadena; Jayne Chesebrough, Sunland; Suzette Cummings, Sierra Madre; Helena Delu, Pasadena; Yolanda Hamilton, Los Angeles; Marsha Seyffert, Altadena; Ellen Sherwood, Arcadia; and Vikki Sung, San Marino.

In addition to duties

staffing the 2013 Pasadena Showcase House of Design, the new provisional class members will participate in three music programs produced and supported by the PSHA. The youthoriented music programs include the Music Mobile in which the Pasadena Conservatory of Music and PSHA members introduce third-graders throughout the San Gabriel Valley to the instruments and music of a symphonic orchestra; the PSHA Youth Concert where about 4,000 fourthgraders from San Gabriel Valley schools visit the Walt Disney Concert Hall for a special performance by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra; and the PSHA Instrumental Competition in which young musicians compete for approximately $30,000 in award monies in the areas of brass, strings and woodwinds.

On Nov. 1, over 4,100 elementary students from the San Gabriel Valley experienced a classical music concert—designed especially for them by the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Under

PHSA member Marybeth Rehman-Dittu is surrounded by fourth-graders at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Rehman-Dittu is dressed as Mother Goose.

conductor Rafael Payare, the orchestra performed Maurice Ravel’s “Mother Goose”, the delightful suite based loosely on “Sleeping Beauty” and other fairy tales.

“It was humbling and gratifying to see the excitement on the children’s

faces,” Hofgaarden said, reporting on the concert sponsored by her group along with additional funding from The Green Foundation.

Marybeth RehmanDittu added to the colorful and eventful day by dressing as Mother Goose.

Rehman-Dittu serves the PSHA as Youth Concert Chair.

Throughout the years, the PSHA says over 350,000 children have been provided the opportunity to discover, enjoy and study classical music.

Overall, proceeds from

the 2011 benefit generated $600,000 that has been distributed in the group’s Gifts and GrantsRE program.

CE The 2013 DUPasadena DP RIC Showcase House of Design E will be held April 21, 2013 through May 19. Tickets go on sale Feb. 4.

Sierra Madre Veterans Day Ceremony Salutes Service, Sacrifice

By Jim E. Winburn

When asked what Veterans Day meant to him, 87-year-old WWII veteran E. George Metzger, Jr., said it was basically to remember those who have served.

Although friendly and full of humor, Metzger was pressed by this reporter for a little more insight into how today’s generation regards the value and sacrifice of serving one’s country.

With a more sullen tone, the proud old veteran replied: “We have a lot to learn to get along with each other.”

However, for the fiftyplus people attending Sierra Madre’s Veterans Day ceremony in Memorial Park on Sunday, there was nothing less than respect and recognition given to those who shared their coming home stories with the public.

Speaking in front of the Sierra Madre Veterans Photo Wall in Memorial Park, Harold “Doc” Martin of Temple City talked about coming home from the Vietnam War and the struggle to adjust to a new world.

Veterans Day, like today, for those who came back? Well, I often think maybe we should have a third day for those whose bodies came back, but their spirit did not,” said Martin, a Vietnam veteran who currently teaches courses at Pasadena City College for veterans returning from overseas.

Martin outlined the need for veterans to continue pursuing a sense of comradeship upon returning from duty overseas. Having a buddy to lean on is especially important when facing growing apathy in a modern society that fails to connect personal freedoms

with those sacrifices made by others.

“There is a great disconnect - like politics today - a tremendous division,” said Duncan MacGillivray, Sr. Vice Commander of VFW Post 3208. “As a veteran, I see lots of patriots committed to that end. On the other end, there seems to be a section that doesn’t seem to care; they don’t understand what we’re going through.”

The Veterans Day ceremony also marked the unveiling of an additional 14 photo wall engravings added to the Please see page 20

Kress explained that the increase in the hotel bed tax would add an additional $200,000 to the city’s general fund each year. If approved, the funds would go into the general fund and not specifically to any project or special fund.

So, if placed on the ballot, it would pass with a simple majority without requiring a two-thirds majority, according to the City Attorney.

Kress explained that the reason behind this resolution, designated as “Measure SG,” is to tax individuals who are using the services of the city, such as its streets and safety services, because they are not paying taxes based on the residency of the city. The four council members voted 4-0 to approve the resolution.

After De La Torre was excused from the next vote, the council discussed 12-36, authorizing members of the council to draft the argument for a tax increase with a two-week turnaround.

However, Kress warned that careful wording would be needed to outline how the additional revenue was being raised to help the city’s budget.

“The fact that the money collected goes to the general fund, which is basically funding anything and everything - (and considering) we have in the past discussed the need to expand revenues if the public works and police projects are going to go forward you can’t specifically tie the revenue measure to that because then that puts it into the two-thirds majority requirement,” said Kress.

The council passed the resolution 3-0.

SURGERY:

The problem for passing the first resolution was that two sitting members, Councilmember Juli Costanzo and Vice Mayor Mario De La Torre, had potential conflicts of interests that would disqualify either one from voting on the resolution.

Costanzo is the director of sales for the existing Hilton Hotel and De La Torre has a “contingent real estate interest connected to the application pending” for the Crowne Plaza hotel, according to Kress.

The second resolution only required three votes.

Resolution 12-36 sets priorities for ballot arguments authorizing all members of the City Council to author the ballot argument in favor of the measure and direct the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis.

Kress explained that a rule of necessity would require a random means of selection to include one of the members to participate in the discussion and vote on Resolution No. 12-35. “We want to take a conservative approach here because a tax on the hospitality industry does affect potentially the income of these two members of the council,” he said.

According to Kress, the law provides for a “rule of necessity,” which allows in this case a drawing by lottery to draft back one of the members of the council who would otherwise be disqualified from participating in the vote.

City Manager Steven Preston was asked by the council to draw one of the two names from a plastic bowl to v determine who would stay in the room and vote on the first resolution.

El Monte Celebrates Veterans with Mercy Housing Groundbreaking

By Dena Burroughs

On the day to celebrate the service of all Veterans to the country, El Monte proved that they are “not only about talking but also about acting,” said Councilman Juventino Gomez as one of the leaders of the Mercy Housing project, which 40-units will house Veterans sometime next year.

At the location of the future Mercy House, two large white tents welcomed Veterans, dignitaries, and

residents last Sunday for a celebration that included an exciting fly-over of WWII Vintage Aircraft by the Condor Squadron. Some of the seasoned pilots, said Gomez, had done missions over Afghanistan and Iraq.

Colonel Todd Tillman of the US Marine Corps and Command Sergeant Major Rivers A. Jacques Jr. of the US Army attended the event as special guests.

“The City of El Monte is making things happen,”

said CSM Jacques, who has been in the service for 34 years, “for these Veterans that came before us and broke the way.”

“As a country we should pledge to leave no Veteran behind,” said Congresswoman Chu, who praised the City for taking the lead in correcting the “national shame” that is thousands of homeless Veterans. Chu said she was honored to have worked with El Monte in this proj-

ect and takes the proud experience with her as she leaves the city in the hands of Congresswoman Grace Napolitano.

Also termed-out of representing the city, Assemblyman Mike Eng congratulated the City of El Monte for planning and developing Veteran housing. “Very few cities have tried to be this respectful to Veterans,” he said, adding that it is a project near to his heart as the son of a service-

man who once faced much difficulty to house his family. As his last official words to El Monte (Assemblyman Ed Chau will represent the city next) Eng said in Spanish: “Que viva El Monte!

Que vivan los Veteranos!”

(Long live El Monte! Long live the Veterans!)

The morning included a Biblical moment when Ed Holder, the Vice President of Mercy Housing, quoted from Nehemiah 2:17. “Let us rebuild the wall of Je-

rusalem and end this disgrace!” reads the scripture in part, which Holder compared to the disgrace that is to have homeless Veterans within our country’s walls and the true importance of correcting it.

The celebration ended with members of El Monte City Council, Veterans, and partners of Mercy Housing doing a symbolic groundbreaking of the construction that is scheduled to begin in a few weeks.

Antonovich Seeks to Exempt Veterans from Metered Parking Fees The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion by Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich to send a five-signature letter to each of the County’s 88 cities encouraging them to follow the County’s ordinance exempting military veterans from paying metered parking fees.

In 2008, the State of Cal-

ifornia passed Assembly Bill 190 which permits counties and cities to exempt military veterans with the following license plates from paying metered parking: Pearl Harbor Survivor, Legion of Valor, Former American Prisoner of War (POW), Congressional Medal of Honor, Purple Heart Additionally, the motion

requests the CEO send a letter to the Governor requesting that the California Department of Motor Vehicles publish a list of counties and cities that currently honor the parking exemption, post the list on the DMV website and provide an updated list annually to all veterans who have registered plates that qualify for the parking exemption.

Ed and Nvaire Shamon, from Pasadena, watched from the wings to see their daughter Tina but were a little dissappointed as they didn’t hear her name called nor witness her getting her toque.

However, the Shamons were delighted with their daughter’s accomplishments and followed up with a party in Pasadena for family and friends.

LAUSD Teacher One of Five California Teachers of the Year State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson has named five exemplary educators as the 2013 California Teachers of the Year. Profiles and contact information for each teacher are attached.

“These five wonderful teachers have shown the kind of skill, passion, and dedication that exemplify the very best of the most important, most demanding, and most rewarding profession there is: teaching,” Torlakson said. “I congratulate and thank them all for the work they are doing to brighten the future of their students and our state.”

The five California Teachers of the Year are: I’Asha Warfield is a grade seven English teacher at Oakland’s Frick Middle School in the Oakland Unified School District, Alameda County. Torlakson also nominated Warfield as California’s representative for the National Teacher of the Year competition.

Sebastien Paul De Clerck is a grade nine through twelve French and Italian language teacher at Ventura High School in the Ventura Unified School District, Ventura County.

David Goldenberg is a grade ten and eleven history teacher at Irvine’s Arnold O. Beckman High School in Tustin Unified School District, Orange County.

Veronica Marquez is a grade five multi-subject teacher in Los Angeles’ Harmony Elementary School in the Los Angeles Unified School District, Los Angeles County.

Martin Reisert is a grade six multiple-subject teacher in San Diego’s Oak Valley Middle School in the Poway Unified School District, San Diego County.

Veronica Marquez, from LAUSD: Marquez has taught

multiple subjects, Gifted and Talented Education, Sheltered English Immersion, and bilingual education at Harmony Elementary School since 2004. Prior to this, she taught at Trinity Elementary School. She also has extensive experience providing staff development, mentorships, and training for other teachers.

“Ms. Marquez has made a remarkable journey as a child from the inner city and then decided to stay in her community to help lift other children out of lives of poverty and despair,” said Torlakson. “She sees herself as a gardener who watches her students bloom under her leadership, and sees her students as scholars worthy of better lives.”

Marquez earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology at UC Los Angeles. She also received her National Board Certification in English as a New Language.

She received her Crosscultural, Language, and Academic Development Certificate from UCLA Extension, and her Clear Multiple Subject Teaching Credential at Los Angeles Unified School District, District Intern Program.

She is also a member of several professional organizations including the National Teachers Association, California Teachers Association, and United Teachers Los Angeles. Marquez received the Los Angeles Unified School District Teacher of the Year award.

“I make home visits to better understand the students I serve…. I establish a positive relationship with parents and students that transfer into the classroom.

I believe it is my duty to empower my students to be agents of change.”

—Veronica Marquez, from her 2013 California Teacher of the Year Application

The Happy Egg Co. Free Range Eggs Flock to Fresh & Easy and Gelson’s Grocery Stores This week, the Happy Egg Company will give shoppers something to cluck about as they expand distribution of their Free Range eggs into select Southern California Gelson’s grocery stores and fresh & easy locations throughout Southern California, Arizona and Nevada.

By being in the egg case at 190 Fresh & Easy stores and 15 Gelson’s locations, the happy egg co. will offer shoppers access to Free Range eggs at a total of more than 450 area grocery stores. Once only available at farmers markets and specialty stores, Free Range eggs from the happy egg co. were first made conveniently available and affordably priced at 245 select Ralphs locations in Southern California in October. The addition of fresh & easy locations in Arizona and Nevada marks the first time that those outside of Southern California will have access to Free Range eggs from the happy egg co.

“Parents, chefs, and animal enthusiasts throughout Southern California have become ‘birds of a feather’ with the happy egg co., taking a liking to our philosophy about Free

Range eggs and animal welfare,” said Cyd Syzmanski, third generation chicken farmer and eggspert at the happy egg co.

“With the addition of fresh & easy and Gelson’s, we are able to offer Southern Californians, Arizonians, and Nevadans better access to the Free Range eggs they want.”

Since the best tasting dishes deserve the highest quality ingredients, the happy egg co. believes that the right choices in eggs are those that come from happy hens. Happy egg hens are never placed in cages or locked up in a barn, but rather, are given the freedom to flap their wings as they roam across four acres of pasture. the happy egg co.’s definition of Free Range—allowing hens to be hens—is truly the gold standard.

Happy eggs are packaged in a distinctive sunshine-yellow carton to add a ray of sunshine to the dreary, gray egg case. Big pillars inside of the carton lovingly cradle and protect the eggs, the same way a mother hen protects her chicks.

Happy eggs are available now throughout Southern California (between Santa Barbara and

San Diego), Arizona and Nevada. In the coming weeks, the happy egg co. will continue to expand to other grocery chains in California.

A champion for Free Range eggs, the goal of the happy egg co. is to make Free Range eggs available to everyone. We are guided by the mantra that high quality eggs are laid by well treated and happy hens. Always putting the hen first, happy egg hens (or the Girls) roam free across acres of pasture on small family farms tended by expert animal stewards who are passionate about maintaining and improving hen living conditions. The result is the highest quality eggs that make the best ingredient in every dish.

With its U.S. headquarters in San Francisco, the happy egg co. draws on its decades of experience with Free Range eggs as part of Noble Foods Ltd. and the happy egg co. brand in the United Kingdom. For more information about the happy egg co., please visit, www.thehappyeggco. com or cluck alongside the Girls at Facebook.com/ HappyEggCoUSA or connect on Twitter @HappyEggCoUSA.

El Monte Police Department Partners with National Latino Peace Officers Association and CHP To Host Child Passenger Safety Seat Check-Up Event

Working to ensure the safety of El Monte residents, the El Monte Police Department is partnering with the California Highway Patrol and National Latino Peace Officers Association to host a free car seat inspection this Saturday.

Every year, hundreds of children are either killed or seriously injured in motor vehicle collisions. Studies have shown child safety seats can reduce fatal injury by 72% for infants and by 54% for toddlers, ages 1-4. But in addition to having a car seat, it is also critical that it be installed properly.

The El Monte Police Department will have certified technicians/officers

inspecting child seats and offering traffic safety information. The goal of this event is to educate parents on the proper installation and use of child passenger seats. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Inspections will be done by appointment only. To set up an appointment, participants must contact the CHP Baldwin Park office at (626) 3381164.

Rosemead Wrestling Coach Arrested in Mexico Continued from page 1

ed at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) by Los Angeles Police officers and U.S. Marshals on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. The Suspect, 29-year-old, Herbert Ortiz, arrived at LAX from Guadalajara, Mexico with Mexican Immigration Officials.

Ortiz came to the attention of Mexican Immigration authorities after he walked into a U.S. Consulate Office in Mexico, in an attempt to obtain a Visa to travel to the country of Guatemala. A routine check of the suspect was conducted and security personnel were alerted to the LASD arrest warrant for the suspect. After confirming the arrest warrant, the suspect was subsequently detained and with coordinated efforts, escorted to Los Angeles by Mexican Immigration authorities.

The suspect, who is a former assistant wrestling coach at Rosemead High School was wanted for sexual abuse allegations after a comprehensive investigation by the Sheriff’s Special Victims Bureau. Detectives believe that the suspect had fled the United States to avoid prosecution.

The sexual abuse incidents were disclosed by the victim after being confronted by his mother who had been alerted to and subsequently viewed a “YouTube” video on the internet. In the video, a male alleged he was also a victim of the suspect and was warning viewers, specifically those residing in Rosemead, California, to protect their children. The male said on the video that he had been a sexual abuse victim of the suspect. The mother recognized the suspect as

a former assistant wrestling coach at Rosemead High School and reported the incident to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.

Ortiz was booked in Los Angeles for the arrest warrant, charging Lewd Acts Upon a Minor, 288(a) P.C. Bail is set at $215,000.

00 The investigation is being handled by the Sheriff’s Special Victims Bureau.

Anyone who may have further information regarding this crime is asked to contact Special Victims Bureau at (877) 710-5273. . If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call “Crime Stoppers” by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), or texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or by using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org/.

San Gabriel Valley Gives It’s Fair Share to Democrat Supermajority The Nov. 6 election has left some of us scratching our heads - wondering why we were left with more of the same. That is, the exact same status quo for gridlock with a Republican House and a Democratic Senate and Administration - both more stubborn than the stripped threads on an old screw.

As constituents around the country wonder if stubborn partisanship in Congress will stay its course, California looks forward to a new and certain future: a single-party takeover of both Legislative houses. Meaning that the Democrats’ newly won two-thirds majority pretty much gives the party the keys to the state when it comes to raising taxes - or pushing through any partisan policy that would otherwise be kept in check by California republicans.

So powerful is this super voting bloc that it even allows Democrats to override vetoes by Gov. Jerry Brown and place constitutional amendments on the

At the Veterans Day “Pride & Pain” photo exhibit and fundraiser, VFW Post 3208 member Brian A. Neumann, who partners with the Pasadena City College Veterans Club to offer support for veterans in the community, likened the photos to the personal struggles and transformations that veterans experience when adjusting to civilian life.

“I see these kids coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan, and they’re trying to assimilate into society - I can’t imagine what’s going on in their heads,” said Neumann.

According to Snell, the event was a fundraiser to support the ongoing efforts of VFW Post 3208 to assist fel-

low veterans, while helping to support the community.

“They spend their lives early on serving and then continue to serve in the community,” said Snell, whose own father, Mike Didomenica, 97, is a WWII veteran.

Snell said her personal highlight of the event was when the veterans found out that they could keep the framed portraits on display at the exhibit.

Observed each year on Nov. 11, Veterans Day, which honors the service of veterans, is celebrated in conjunction with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day in other parts of the world. Veterans Day marks the anniversary of the end of World War I, when major hostilities were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11 day of the 11th month of 1918.

ORDINANCE NO. 2012-08

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTERS 5.04 AND 5.88 OF THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING MOBILE FOOD VENDORS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

The City Council hereby finds as follows: A. California Vehicle Code Section 22455 allows municipalities to regulate mobile food vending in order to protect public safety, and Article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution extends to municipalities the police power authority to regulate in furtherance of public health and welfare.

B. The City of Monrovia’s unique mix of residential, institutional and commercial uses in one of the oldest cities in Los Angeles County creates unique traffic and safety challenges.

Many of Monrovia’s streets are not designed or equipped to accommodate extensive mobile commerce. Any hindrance of the flow of such vehicular traffic causes delay, traffic congestion, accidents and imminent peril to both life and property within the City. The sale of any commodity from a vehicle on any major traffic artery in the City particularly adds to the local traffic congestion, delay and hazard to life and property. Strict enforcement of traffic laws alone is insufficient to cope with the situation. It is not possible to employ sufficient police officers adequately to control such unique traffic problems, not only because of the present manpower shortage, but particularly because of the fluctuating volume of such vehicular traffic.

C. Reports from other cities indicate that mobile food vending can create a variety of safety hazards. The size of mobile food vending and catering trucks pose the risk of obstructing the view of motorists, pedestrians, and law enforcement personnel. The view obstruction caused by mobile vending vehicles may impede law enforcement personnel from properly monitoring, anticipating, and timely responding to developing emergencies. The presence of mobile vending trucks can also attract large crowds that can impede pedestrian accessibility and the ability to walk freely and safely on the sidewalk. The presence of mobile vendors in traffic lanes or vending while illegally parked can also cause danger to pedestrians and other drivers due to the unpredictable actions of customers.

D. Mobile food vendors that vend within close proximity to a school building could create an additional safety hazard in that the vending vehicles attract young people who may dash into traffic to purchase

food products, or who may be inattentive to traffic and other pedestrians.

E. The act of looking for prospective buyers while operating a mobile food vending vehicle may make the operator less attentive to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. On public roadways, this poses obvious traffic and safety risks to the public which the City seeks to prevent.

F. Mobile food vendors who fail to park their vehicles correctly during a transaction attract prospective buyers onto public roadways, creating a further traffic and public safety hazard.

G. The presence of mobile food vendors could cause an increase in garbage and litter in the areas surrounding the vending vehicle, which would be unsanitary and potentially hazardous to the public.

H. The City has an important and substantial public interest in providing regulations to prevent safety, traffic and health hazards, as well as to preserve the peace, safety and welfare of the community.

Section 2.

Section 5.88.020 (“Selling Restrictions”) of Chapter 5.88 (“Mobile Vendors”) of Title 5 (“Business Taxes, Licenses and Regulations”) of the Monrovia Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: “5.88.020 Selling Restrictions.

(A) A mobile vendor may park a mobile vendor vehicle or vend on a street subject to the following restrictions: (1) The mobile vendor vehicle shall be operated and parked in full compliance with all applicable parking and California Vehicle Code provisions including, without limitation, the parking, licensing and selling restrictions imposed by this Code.

(10) All food products sold or provided from the mobile vendor vehicle shall comply with all applicable food labeling requirements established by the State of California, and the mobile vendor must obtain all required permits, including without limitation, health permits, certificates or placards required and issued by the County of Los Angeles Health Department, to sell or provide such items.

(11) Mobile vendors may, with the written permission of the City be exempt from any of subsections 1 through 7, inclusive, of this section when participating in an event subject and pursuant to a special events permit, or any other permit specifically authorizing such activity, issued by the City.

(12) Mobile vendors shall comply with all applicable state and local laws.”

Section 3.

Section 5.88.060 of Chapter 5.88 (“Mobile Vendors”) of Title 5 (“Business Taxes, Licenses and Regulations”) of the Monrovia Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: “5.88.060 Garbage Disposal.

No mobile vendor shall engage in vending unless he or she maintains a clearly designated litter receptacle in the immediate vicinity of the vending vehicle, marked with a sign requesting use by patrons.

Prior to leaving the location, the mobile vendor shall pick up, remove and lawfully dispose of all trash generated by the mobile food vendor’s operation located within a 25-foot radius of the mobile vendor’s location.”

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF RONALD F. TRESSEL Case No. BP137034 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of RONALD F. TRESSEL A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Catherine E. Tressel in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PRO-BATE requests that Catherine E. Tressel be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representa-tive to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important ac-tions, however, the personal repre-sentative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or con-sented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on Dec. 10, 2012 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 11 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.

IF YOU OBJECT to the grant-ing of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the de-ceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative ap-pointed by the court within four months from the date of first issu-ance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hear-ing date noticed above.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

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, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan. com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-12-515810-AL . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL 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. 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, you may call (619)590-1221 or visit the internet website www.rppsales. com, using the file number assigned to this case 1362233-31.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL 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 a 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 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, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco. com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 11-0057285. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

The Church is located at 695 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. in Sierra Madre. Call 626355-0629 for more information.

Sierra Madre City Council Continued from page 1

Analyst James Carlson in the staff report.

The council also approved a name change for the committee’s Accords Work-Plan at Tuesday’s meeting, renaming the list “Commitments and Goals.”

The vote to approve the name change was approved 3-2, with Council Member Chris Koerber objecting, and Council Member John Capoccia abstaining.

According to the staff report, the committee requested that a new name be chosen as a replacement to “Accords,” explaining that they wanted to eliminate ties to the United Nations Urban Environmental Accords so to make these actions specific to Sierra Madre.

After going through each action item in the work plan, Mayor Josh Moran said that staff would give the committee a list of items that the council does not want them spending time on. The committee was asked to return at a later meeting with cost benefit analyses and SMART assessments on the items approved by the council.

Council Member Chris Koerber raised concerns early on that the SMART assessment and cost benefit

analysis on each item were not completed by staff as discussed at an earlier meeting.

Carlson noted in the staff report that the Green Advisory Committee still needed to work out these assessments, and that it would require more time. “Each action item will need to be analyzed individually and many important decisions will need to be agendized at future City Council meetings,” wrote Carlson.

The Green Committee decided to apply the SMART assessment method to each of the plan actions at their Oct. 25 meeting. Introduced in Paul J. Meyer’s “Attitude is Everything” (2003), the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely) assessment is a guide for setting and successfully meeting objectives.

But the City Council decided to review each item of the Accords Work-Plan, providing its own spot analysis and assessment of each proposed action. And the attempt to review all 25 items of the work plan, and parcel out which ones the committee was to focus on, got off to a rocky start.

Opinions were mixed on the top four actions com-

posing the energy section of the plan, which regards goals to increase the use of renewable energy while reducing peak electric loads and greenhouse gas.

However, Council Member John Capoccia dismissed the first four items of the Accords Work-Plan altogether, saying the focus should be on using renewable energy only if it makes the city more efficient from an operational cost perspective.

“Renewable energy is a great thing, but our biggest challenge ahead of us is not to save the world environmentally,” Capoccia said. “Our biggest challenge here is to balance our budget and to make sure that the resources we have in the city are used in the most effective manner whether it’s taxpayer dollars or whether it’s staff.”

After a full discussion of the work plan, the City Council finally directed staff to move forward with the committee’s next report, which is part of the process to elevate the committee’s status to full commission.

The third report to reconsider the establishment of a Green Commission is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 27.

Holidays Serve as Wake-Up Call that Local Elderly Family Members Need Help

“10 Holiday Warning Signs” Your Senior is in Trouble The holiday season may be one of the few times local families get together and realize their elderly loved ones are in deep trouble and need immediate help. Adult children who don’t live nearby often come home to holiday heartbreak with deteriorating relatives they aren’t prepared to handle.

So this holiday, the family might gather around the kitchen table – not only for turkey and treats, but also for a talk—a big talk—that maps out a plan to care for aging relatives.

That’s why Senior Helpers, one of the largest in-home senior care companies with caregivers in our city, advises families with the “10 Holiday Warning Signs Seniors Need Help.”

“This Thanksgiving and Christmas, thousands of adult children will be shocked to come home to elderly relatives who

are lethargic and forgetful.

They’ll see a messy house, bills piling up, the joy of the season clouded with the realization that elderly relatives are struggling and can’t make it alone,” says Peter Ross, CEO and cofounder of Senior Helpers, one of the largest in-home senior care companies with offices in our city with highly trained caregivers specializing in dementia and Alzheimer’s care. “This is the time to map out a care plan for aging relatives and that plan should include hiring caregivers who can help ease the burden for families.”

This Saturday we’ll be rooting for both teams because both teams are on our team.

While everyone is choosing sides this week, it’s good to know that USC and UCLA have both chosen Huntington Memorial Hospital.

Physicians from both universities are on our medical staff. In addition, both universities use Huntington Hospital as a training ground for students — medical students from Keck School of Medicine rotate through our hospital, as do nursing students, pharmacists, social workers and other allied health professionals from UCLA. With so much collegiality, it’s no wonder that both USC and UCLA are on the Huntington Hospital team.

Let everyone else compete this week in a wholesome spirit of fun. But whether you’re a Trojan or a Bruin, it’s good to know that there is no dispute as far as local healthcare is concerned.

There is one thing on which we can all agree.

Huntington Hospital.

Experience. Excellence.
