Celebrate the 4th on this 236th Birthday of the USA BY SHEL SEGAL As the nation prepares to celebrate its 236th birthday, here is a list of patriotic ways San Gabriel Valley residents can commemorate the day: The largest area festival takes place at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and is known as AmericaFest. The festival starts outside the stadium at 2 p.m. At 7 p.m. the crowd inside the stadium is treated to motorcycle stunts and the Beatle tribute band known as “Liverpool Legend, Beatle Experience." Tickets range from $17 to $34. Please call (626) 577-3100 or log onto www. rosebowlstadium.com/ events for more information. In Sierra Madre, you can attend the town’s annual Fourth of July parade and see all the festivities – such as being squirted with water and watching the aging lone belly dancer make her way down the street – all while showing your colors are red, white and blue. The parade features community members, classic cars, marching band, kids on decorated bikes and
Sierra Madre discusses more water restrictions BY SHEL SEGAL The Sierra Madre City Council is currently discussing whether it should us more restrictive water-use policies, according to a published report. This comes as the drought throughout the state has forced the city to buy water – which can brown in some parts of the city – from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, officials said. In addition, the city might lose access to this newly gained water supply in 2015, official said. Last October, the city council stopped drawing water from its wells and began buying water from MWD in an effort to save some of the water supply in the East Raymond

Arcadia Museum Education Center dedicated BY TERRY MILLER
A five-year project from concept to completion, the 2,500 square foot Arcadia History Museum Education center was officially dedicated last Saturday, June 28th, with appropriate fanfare, speeches, and accolades. Long a dream of Arcadia’s first female mayor Floretta Lauber, the Museum Education Center will fill a void in the museum’s ability to bring in guest lecturers on various subjects of interest to Arcadia specifically. The Museum Foundation was the founding sponsor and donated $500,000.00 to the City of Arcadia towards the cost of the building. Mayor John Wuo presented an obviously emotional Floretta Lauber with a special commemoration which

reception, which was presented by the Friends of the Museum. The mayor and city council members, plus many community members, including numerous former mayors, enjoyed tours of the building. For more information, please call the Museum at (626)574-5468.

Loving Zingers

one of his projects. He was looking at me very intently. Since I obviously had this kid's undivided attention, I felt really pleased with myself until he said, "You know what, Mrs Denne? You've got a mustache just like my grandma's." The end of fourth grade usually means the end of innocent honesty. Fortunately for my ego, Kelli still had a little time to go when she asked, "Mrs. Denne can you help me?" "Of course, Sweetie. What's your problem?" "Well, I'm trying to draw your picture and I just can't get your second chin in."
Help America’s Forests: Join the Arbor Day Foundation in July and 10 trees will be planted in National Forests America’s forestland is a prized natural resource, and anyone can help plant trees in these vital areas by joining the Arbor Day Foundation this month. Through the Replanting Our National Forests campaign, the Arbor Day Foundation will honor each new member who joins in July by planting 10 trees in forests that have been devastated by wildfires, insects and disease. The cost for joining the Arbor Day Foundation is a $10 donation. America’s national forests face enormous challenges, including unprecedented wildfires that have left a backlog of more than one million acres in need of replanting. The Foundation has worked with the United States Forest Ser-
vice for more than 20 years to plant trees in high-need forests. Our national forests provide habitat for wildlife, keep the air clean and help ensure safe drinking water for more than 180 million Americans. “Keeping our forests healthy is vital to the health of people and the entire planet,” said Matt Harris, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “By planting trees in our national forests, we will preserve precious natural resources and the benefits they provide for generations to come.” To join the Arbor Day Foundation and help plant trees in our national forests, send a $10 membership contribution to Replanting Our National Forests,

Football clinic draws hundreds of area kids to Robinson Park By SHEL SEGAL More than 100 kids from Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley attended a free half-day football clinic on Saturday on Robinson Park that was sponsored by the Tournament of Roses and Northwestern Mutual. Led by college football coaches from several area universities–such as Pasadena City College–the kids, aged 5 to 14, took part in agility drills, offensive and defensive training, and character development. With around 150 kids at the clinic, Richard Chinen, president of the Tournament of Roses, said it was great his organization was able to help partner with others and put on this event. “It’s great to be able to have them engage with us,” said Chinen, who added this is the fifth year for the event. “We’re doing this for the community. We’re a community organization. We started with a parade, then we had
chariot races. Now, we’ve got a football game and football’s huge. It’s great for the kids to be able to participate in something Pasadena is known for. What better way to give back to the community and these kids than to host something like this.” He added he thinks the kids will have a great time at the clinic. “I think they get a lot out of this,” he said. “You’ve got a lot of topnotch clinicians. They’ll run all types of drills, a lot that the colleges run with spring and summer workouts. It’s great stuff.” Chinen also said he just hope the kids enjoy themselves on the field. “The main thing is to have fun and that you can have fun playing a sport and learning how play right, knowing that if you are going to do this you have to be healthy and be in shape,” he said. “You have to work as part of a team.” In addition, he said he is glad the Pasadena area is
able to put on the clinic for the kids. “It’s great when a community comes together like this for the kids because oftentimes parents will sign the kids up and drag them along,” he said. “But these kids are here to have fun and learn from the very best.” Fred Fimbres, head football coach at PCC who was helping coordinate the clinic, agreed with Chinen. “I think the importance is to engage the community,” Fimbres said. “The Rose Bowl and the city of Pasadena are synonymous with one another. I think that to engage the community and the activity the people think of with the Rose Bowl and Pasadena and that is football, anytime we can get young people out and get them moving and getting them some valuable lessons will help us.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.

Planned Parenthood on Supreme Court Decision Out of Touch With Women‘s Lives? Ruling leaves birth control benefit in place for millions of women, but gives some employers the new right to deny coverage This morning, in a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States sided with Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties. These private corporations sought religious exemptions in the Affordable Care Act requirement that they cover birth control for employees. However, the Supreme Court indicated that the government may provide its own alternatives for those who need to access coverage. Planned Parenthood condemns today’s ruling that some for-profit private corporations can deny birth control coverage to their employees, for no reason other than the personal religious beliefs of the corporation’s owners.
“Make no mistake, today’s ruling does not strike down the birth control mandate overall,” stated Sheri Bonner, CEO of Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley. “Thanks to the birth control benefit, women have already saved $483 million in the last year alone.” While this is a federal decision, California’s Women’s Contraceptive Equity Act, signed into law by Gray Davis in 1999, ensures access to birth control through employer health plans. However in accordance with today’s ruling, some Californians may be subject to a planspecific co-pay. Women in states without contraceptive equity laws are forced to pay as much as $800 a year out of pocket for birth control. That’s why the mandate is vital to women’s health and economic justice.
Studies also show that women who receive birth control with no co-pay or at a reduced cost are able to avoid more than two million unplanned pregnancies each year. It’s not surprising that the public overwhelmingly supports the birth control benefit by a nearly two-to-one margin. “It’s unbelievable that in 2014 we are still fighting for access to birth control,” observed Bonner. “Today’s decision, coupled with last week’s Massachusetts buffer zone decision, shows an alarming trend, a lack of education, and a lack of understanding of the experiences of women today. Regardless of today’s decision, Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley and affiliates across the nation are dedicated to serving all women — no matter where they work.”
Third stage conservation! The Sierra Madre City Council is considering a "third stage conservation" on the water bills of the people. This is their response to the people that are asking for a building moratorium. Because of the alleged water shortage, they are saying that everybody needs to conserve by reducing consumption by 30%. This imposes such great harm of higher rates, fines and even turning off a user's water altogether - all this in order to put a building moratorium in place! This action is like using a bulldozer to kill a flea! To begin with, the people are already conserving approximately 25% voluntarily over the normal usage before the City started asking
the people to conserve. The Public works Manager has also stated that the MWD has a two-year supply of water on hand now. This is assuming we will not have any rainfall for the next two years. Can one believe that we will not have any rain when the rest of the country has had record rainfall and snow and is suffering from floods? In the meantime, nothing is being said about how many acre feet of water have accumulated in our aquifer. This has risen even though the City of Arcadia continues to pump water from the same aquifer. Arcadia does not even have a "phase one" water conservation in place. Why does the Sierra
Madre City Council continue their forceful actions on the people of the City? There is no immediate water shortage to justify force and casual action. This is on top of the huge cost increases that are already in place, which are based upon false assumptions to begin with. What more can be said than to simply say, "Stop hammering the people that you have been elected to serve". If the City revealed all of the truth about the cost and the supply of water, then we should not have any of highhanded actions. What more can be said besides "Back off and stop torturing the people"! Sierra Madre Watchman

IRENE V. FROM PASADENA HAS WON A GIFT CERTIFICATE TO MISSION FRAMING
SUBMIT YOUR BALLOT AND YOU COULD WIN TOO!
Editor: KFC is selling bones from dead chickens to wear around your neck! How horrible is that?! First of all, this company gets chickens from slaughterhouses that mistreat them according to PETA. Imagine wearing a chicken bone from an animal who suffered mistreatment! I quit eating poultry when I found out the mistreatments they endure. Chickens and turkeys are not protected
by the Human Slaughter Act which supposedly helps protect cows, pigs, and sheep. Factory farming is outrageously cruel. Think about it—overcrowded conditions and never going outside. Then they’re trucked to a slaughterhouse for more suffering and then death. All animals feel pain and fear and they don’t deserve it. If you quit eating meat, or at least cut down on it, you
will relieve suffering, help the environment and be healthier. Some vegetarians are: Paul McCarthy, Albert Schweitzer, Alicia Silverstone, Clint Eastwood, Leonardo da Vinci, Ellen DeGeneres, and Carrie Underwood. -S. Johnson San Gabriel NOTE: Leonardo da Vinci was not, conclusively, vegetarian. There is not enough evidence to state for sure, after all this time.

To the Editor: There are two lessons we should have learned: (1) Stay out of others' internal affairs when they do not threaten us. (2) When threatened, action must be timely and decisive. You don't sit on the sidelines and hope the terrorists in Iraq
will have a change of heart. The Sunnis, allied with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), an extremely violent group of religious militants, have said they will use Iraqi's resources to attack us. Obviously the U.S. must prevent this.
To the Editor: A picture is worth a thousand words; white religious anti-abortion protestors with their signs cheering on the Supreme Court's ruling that put their religious agenda before the reproductive
rights of women. It was a win for religious extremists and anti-abortionists and a loss for America and women. The Supreme Court's verdict mimics last week’s Supreme Court's ruling that allows anti-abortion protestors
Act now; if the terrorists win and become embedded in Iraq, we would have to destroy the Iraqi infrastructure, refineries and oil fields to keep Iraq free and protect ourselves and root out these insurgents. Ron Lowe, Santa Monica

Altadena Sheriff's Station CSI Camp for Teens - August 4-8 Did you ever want to know what it is like to solve a crime as a real crime scene investigator (CSI)? Well, now young people with an interest in crime scene investigations are invited to learn about the field from deputies this summer as the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Altadena Station Crime Scene Investigation Camp. The 5-day day camp for kids 11 to 16 years of age is scheduled for 8 am to 12 pm, August 4 through August 8, in
the Davies Building at Charles S. Farnsworth Park, 568 Mt. Curve Ave., Altadena. The cost is $75. Participants will have hands-on involvement in a realistic crime scene investigation that might surprise them with how different it might be from the television shows. Participants will also be exposed to other Sheriff's Department programs, such as the teen Explorer program. Participants will learn investigative procedures and
strategies at a simulated crime scene. They will examine fingerprints, question witnesses, and work with polygraph tests under the supervision of station deputies. Los Angeles County District Attorney’s officials will be on-scene to teach participants about evidence and obtaining arrest warrants. For more information, contact Deputy Scott Rule during regular business hours at (626) 798-2117, or email sarule@lasd.org.
New health inspection Pass/Fail placards debut in Pasadena New inspection placards for public display in Pasadena’s restaurants and other permanent food facilities will be issued by the City’s Public Health Department beginning July 1, 2014. The placards will indicate a facility’s status of Pass, Conditional Pass or Closed at the time of the inspection. The new placards showing Pass or Conditional Pass will have numeric scores displayed that were received as part of the inspections. Placards showing a Closed status means an inspection revealed there was an imminent health hazard that required closure or that the permit was suspended due to non-compliance. Closed placards will indicate the reason for closure instead of a numerical score. All placards will include a special “QR” code that can be scanned with a smart phone app for additional information about the food facility linked to a new inspection database on the City’s website. The database is online at http://decadeonline.com/ main.phtml?agency=PAS. Permanent food facilities that will receive the new plac-

ards include restaurants, markets, bakeries, bars, school cafeterias, commissaries and retail food processing facilities. The businesses are required to publicly display the placards. Initial inspections by the Health Department resulting in scores of 85 to 100 will receive a Pass placard. Conditional Pass placards with scores of 75 to 84 means minimal code compliance was achieved and a follow-up inspection must be done. Conditional Pass scores of 74 and below mean minimal compliance also was achieved, but violations that were found
require a mandatory Permit Suspension Hearing plus a follow-up inspection. The new placards and the public database are the most recent steps taken by the Health Department’s Environmental Health Division to improve its service to the public and increase awareness of its mission to ensure that food sold and served in the City of Pasadena is safe, wholesome, properly labeled, and produced under sanitary conditions. The Health Department’s mandatory inspections are required per the California Health and Safety Code.

Cellphone searches without warrants deemed illegal
Smart Women Smart Money
By Jennifer Scheulter Last Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled cellphone searches without warrants to be illegal. The unanimous 9-0 decision involved the cases Riley v. California, 13-132 and U.S. v. Wurie, 13-212. Riley’s sophisticated smart phone and Wuris’ basic flip phone had been searched by police without a courtissued warrant. The court ruled police’s investigation practices in both cases to be unconstitutional because they violated the Fourth Amendment. The evidence on both phones led law enforcement to discover crimes. Because phones now store more and more personal data, the police frequently rely on them in search for evidence. Therefore, law enforcement agencies struggle with the court’s verdict. Even though issuing a warrant can now be done via mobile devices, it still takes valuable time – time in which crucial evidence can be destroyed or information about an arrest
can travel quickly, as Robert Mintz, a former federal prosecutor, adds in a Reuters article. According to the same article, “Justice Department spokeswoman Ellen Canale said the government would ensure federal law enforcement agents complied with the ruling.” As it has been discovered, local and state police agencies have been tracking our mobile devices with increasingly advancing technologies such as Stingrays capturing data from both criminals and innocents. 91 percent of adult Americans owning cellphones, according to Pew Research Center 2013, indicates a giant data pool of texts, calls localities, etc. that law enforcement can access. Nathan Wessler, attorney with the Speech, Privacy and Technology Project for the American Civil Liberties Union and advocate for more data privacy stated: "The court's reasoning clearly recognizes that the aggregation of sensi-
tive electronic data raises particularly acute Fourth Amendment concerns that call for more robust judicial protections of our privacy. While the Supreme Court has not yet settled the issue in other contexts, lower courts can learn much from this decision about how to safeguard our privacy rights in the digital age." Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in an opinion regarding his and his fellow judges verdict: "We cannot deny that our decision today will have an impact on the ability of law enforcement to combat crime […] The fact that technology now allows an individual to carry such information in his hand does not make the information any less worthy of the protection for which the (country's) Founders fought. Our answer to the question of what police must do before searching a cellphone seized incident to an arrest is accordingly simple - get a warrant."

Emmy, I updated my IRA’s beneficiary after reading your column. Thank you. Now I’m considering adding my granddaughter as a secondary beneficiary, after my wife. Do you foresee any potential problems? I appreciate the positive feedback. Let me reiterate the importance of keeping IRA beneficiary forms up to date. Many events may require beneficiary changes: retirement, marriage or divorce, new children or grandchildren, or converting to a Roth IRA. Beneficiary forms can get lost, forgotten or neglected over time. Also, longtime account holders sometimes make changes that effectively open new accounts with new account numbers. When no beneficiary form is located, the IRA may have to go through probate court. Don’t rely on your finan-
fer as a total distribution subjected to full taxation and effectively ending the IRA. Non-spouse beneficiaries must begin taking distributions by Dec. 31 of the year after inheriting. However, your granddaughter can stretch the withdrawals across her own life expectancy. Smaller withdrawals taken over many years can allow the IRA's pretax value to increase and postpone taxable distributions. Finally, your wife can chose to disclaim your IRA as her inheritance. She has up to 9 months after your passing to do so. In this case, ownership would transfer to the contingent beneficiary - assumably your granddaughter. This option would postpone the need to make this important decision now. Your family could delay assessing the pros and cons affecting your IRA’s transfer (e.g. Generation Skipping Taxes) until the time comes. For a more specific answer, contact a qualified financial advisor. Please email questions to smartwomen@ehfinancial.com or call my office at 626943-8833. Informational purposes only.

cial institution’s recordkeeping; keep personal copies of all your financial documents. IRA owners should give their heirs copies of beneficiary forms ahead of time, because missing the RMD deadline for an inherited IRA imposes an onerous 50% penalty. Now, to address your question: The devil’s always in the details and I don’t know enough about your particular situation. Generally, your wife as your beneficiary has more flexibility when assuming control of your IRA. She can remain the beneficiary and easily access the account if she’s younger than 59 ½. Alternatively, she can rollover your IRA into her preexisting or newly created IRA and postpone mandatory distributions until she’s 70 ½. The rules remain the same as if this account were hers all along. She will pay a 10% penalty for withdrawing before 59 ½. When the beneficiary of an IRA is not a surviving spouse, a few new rules come into play. First, your granddaughter cannot rollover your IRA directly into her name. The IRA must be retitled to indicate that this is now an inherited IRA. If funds are moved into a new IRA account, your granddaughter must initiate a "trustee to trustee" transfer. Otherwise, the IRS will consider the trans-
While many plan Fourth of July picnics, 600 hungry seniors stand in line for food On July 3, when others are planning their Fourth of July barbecues with all the trimmings, hundreds of low-income adults ages 60 years and older will be standing in line at the Pasadena Senior Center to receive food they desperately need to help them make it through the month without going hungry. The distribution program includes canned and boxed food, milk, bread and frozen chicken. For many, the chicken is their only source of much-needed protein. “The chicken is handy for making so many dishes
and it is a great help,” said Leonor Diaz. “If I didn’t have it I would go to rice and beans like we used to.” Many low-income seniors struggle monthly with the choice between medicine, rent and simple nutrition; the first two often take precedence. “Many times they go to bed hungry because they have run out of money,” said Diane Mgrublian, director of social services for the Pasadena Senior Center. Just as clients worry whether their allotment will help sustain them through the 30-day period before the next distribution date, Pasadena Senior Center officials are con-
cerned about the future of the food distribution program. A $10,000 grant that has funded the chicken this fiscal year is coming to an end and donations are lower than usual due to the economy and other factors. For now, the chicken and other food will be distributed on July 3 and senior citizens will wait patiently in line, grateful that such a program exists at all. Eligibility requirements include a California ID and an income statement. Advance registration is required.

Serving Leaders, Serving Teams A bi-monthly column by Heather Backstrom, Ed.D.
The Artfully Skilled Communicator Ever think you and your staff are on the same page only to find out you’re not? Ever have a conversation with a colleague only to discover later that you walked away with different understandings? Or ever work for a leader whose communication skills were so poor that you never had any idea of what was expected? All of these scenarios cause stress, misunderstandings and strained work relationships. A leader who has a knack for communication is able to paint a picture in words making their message clear, easily understood and inspirational. The ability to communicate in a clear way that motivates staff and drives them toward goals is both an art and a skill of talented leaders. These leaders know that communication is not limited to the one-way street of simply giving out instructions. They understand, probably through hard lessons from the past, that effective communication is much more than that. It includes asking questions, listening intently, paying attention to the underlying meaning of
others’ responses, eliciting feedback and being willing to adjust their position. Think about the last time you had a misunderstanding with one of your staff members. Reflect back on yourself at that time. Did you ask questions to draw out the other person and get their perspective? How well did you listen to them? Did you listen deeply and below the surface to get at more than the meaning of their mere words? Did you ask for feedback and if so, how open were you to it? At the end of the conversation did you confirm agreement and next steps? Looking back, how much of the misunderstanding could have been avoided by more effective and intentional communication? Begin to strengthen your communication skills by considering the workweek ahead. Identify one meeting you have for each day of the week. This could be a mixture of one-on-one, as well as group meetings. Now that you’ve identified one meeting for each day of the week create a com-
munication strategy. Make a deliberate plan for each meeting so that the communication is a two-way street that highly involves the other person. On a piece of paper make a grid chart with headings such as: questions to ask, effective listening strategies, eliciting feedback and confirming understanding/agreement. Prior to each meeting fill out the chart with your plan on how you will accomplish these things. Then let this plan be your compass guiding you through the meeting. Afterwards refer back to it to see how you did and how it affected the interaction. Keep this up for 30 days and watch the results. Effective communication truly is both an art and a skill. The more you take a deliberate approach the greater your chances of becoming an artfully skilled communicator. Heather Backstrom is an executive coach, leadership development consultant and speaker.

Jewish Federation of the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys Moving to Monrovia The Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys announced that it has just signed a lease to move to its new offices in Monrovia. The Jewish Federation will be temporarily located at Temple Beth David in Temple City while its new offices are being built. With this move, the Jewish Federation is moving closer to the center of our community – an area from Glendale to Rancho Cucamonga. The Jewish Federation had been located in Arcadia at the former Congregation Shaarei Torah building on Second Avenue since September 2010, after over 30 years in Covina. During its tenure there, the Jewish Federation was able to expand its programming and the services it offered. With the many events and performances that
took place here (An Evening with the Consul General of Israel, plays and musicals, concerts and lectures), our Arcadia location become a center for Jewish life in the greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys. As one community member put it, “We now have a place for all Jews from across our community, to come together and feel connected.” The new facility will allow the Jewish Federation to continue its valuable work it does for and on behalf of the local Jewish community, as well as have a multipurpose room for small meetings and gatherings, along with a rehearsal space for Kol HaEmek (the community’s Jewish community choir), the Jewish Youth Orchestra, and upcoming plays and musicals.
“While the physical space of our new location will have a distinctly different look and feel,” Jason Moss, Executive Director explains, “the Jewish Federation’s Board of Governors and Staff are completely committed to continue providing the services and our current programs that so many people have come to count on.” Jewish Federation’s new address is 116 W. Lime Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016. The tentative move in date will be August 1, unless construction is completed in a shorter period of time. For more information about the Jewish Federation’s move, or upcoming plans, please contact the Jewish Federation at 626.445.0810 or by email at federation@jewishsgpv.org.
Lower excise tax rate on gasoline starts July 1 With the Fourth of July holiday on its way and summertime road trips on the minds of many California drivers, the California State Board of Equalization (BOE) announced today that starting July 1, 2014, the excise tax rate on gasoline will go down to $0.36 per gallon. The new rate of $0.36 – down from $0.395 – was reached after the Board voted unanimously at its February 2014 meeting to lower the rate for the 2014-2015 fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2015. While Californians will be paying less in state excise tax at the pump starting July 1, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will translate into lower gasoline prices. Other factors, such as world crude oil prices, also affect California’s gasoline prices. “I wish we could lower the excise tax rate on gasoline even more, and that it would result in a corresponding decrease in gas prices,” said BOE Chairman Jerome E. Horton. “But the adjustments, authorized by the Legislature and administered by the Board of Equalization,

are mandated to be revenue neutral, and historically have shown little impact on the overall price consumers pay at the pump.” The adjustment of the excise tax on gasoline stems from laws enacted in 2010 known as the “fuel tax swap” (AB x8 6 and SB 70). The swap requires revenue neutrality, meaning motorists pay no more or less state tax on gasoline purchases than they would have paid prior to the swap. The new laws lowered the sales tax on gasoline to 2.25 percent and raised the excise tax by an amount pro-
jected to equal the sales tax that otherwise would have been collected under the old tax structure (see graphic at above for example and watch this video www.boe.ca.gov/ taxprograms/excise_gas_tax. htm). The excise tax rate – set by March 1 of each year for the coming fiscal year – is based on estimates of projected price and gallons to be purchased provided by the Department of Finance and IHS Global Insight, an internationally-recognized firm that provides economic and financial data.

for its senior class and the other, a "Pledge to Graduate" ceremony for fourth graders from Portrero Elementary, New Temple Elementary and Monte Vista Elementary Schools. Spearheaded by South El Monte High School Assistant Principal Maria-Elena Navarro, the pledge ceremony was not only a first for the high school, but for the El Monte Union High School District as well. "We wanted to reach out in a bigger way to our feeder/ partner schools," said Navarro. "We have the responsibility of ensuring these future South El Monte High School students become proficient scholars while they are with us. The earlier we instill in them the importance of high school and college planning, the better." "We are extremely pleased to start college awareness early with these fourth graders and to garner their pledges to graduate from South El Monte High School," said Superintendent Nick Salerno who attended the ceremony. Following a performance
students Eliana Ynequez, Sue Esparza and Martha Ramirez, respectively, spoke on their educational and career goals. The approximately 300 students then raised his or her right hand and stated, "As a student, I pledge to believe in myself, do the work it takes to graduate from high school with my class and seek help whenever I need it." After the pledge, and with the seniors who would graduate later that evening cheering them on, the fourth graders wearing t-shirts provided by South El Monte High School which read "Class of 2022, SEMHS Believes in You!, walked across the very stage they will walk across when they receive their high school diplomas eight years from now. As the students exited the stage, they were greeted by El Monte Union High School District Board of Trustees member Ricardo Padilla, Principal Oscar Cisneros and other high school staff, handing out certificates to remind them of the pledge they made to stay in school and do their best. "It is important to start
-Courtesy Photo
having conversations about high school graduation and college at a very early age," said Cisneros. "The speeches from the fourth grade students were amazing and inspiring. It was also great that the seniors were able to experience the event because it helps put things in perspective for them. I hope this pledge event becomes a tradition that expands in scope." "I am looking forward to attending this high school," said one fourth grader.
"I am going to work hard and get good grades," said another, who already had aspirations to become a lawyer. "The fourth graders were enthusiastic, well behaved and fun to work with," said Navarro. "I am grateful to their principals for supporting this event and to the Herff Jones Company for its sponsorship." "We look forward to the Class of 2022 becoming Eagles in the fall of 2018," added Salerno.
California Tax Limitation Committee’s “Tax Revolt” continues
Files notice of intention to repeal Utility Users Tax in Sierra Madre The California Tax Limitation Committee’s so called ‘TAX REVOLT’ continued this week in the City of Sierra Madre where local citizens filed a formal Notice of Intent to circulate a local initiative calling for the repeal the city’s onerous $2.4 million annual Utility Users Tax (UUT).
Sierra Madre residents Shirley Moore, David McMonigle and Earl Richey are the official proponents of this local tax initiative and have informally associated themselves as the Sierra Madre Tax Limitation Committee. Asked why he was seeking the repeal of the UUT, longtime Sierra Madre resident Maury Whitaker said, “The City of Sierra Madre is out of control just like every city. It’s being run for the financial benefit of public employees and the unions rather than the citizens. In these tough times it’s only fair that government share some of the pain and learn how to live within its means.” Sierra Madre’s effort follows on the heels of a successful effort in Arcadia where the Arcadia Tax Limitation Committee headed by Carolyn Papp, Larry Papp and Greg Welborn recently qualified their own UUT repeal for the ballot. If approved by the voters, citizens of Arcadia will receive over
$35-40 million in tax relief over a five year period. TEAPAC’s President Mike Alexander and Executive Director Jim Meyer have formed a parent committee called the California Tax Limitation Committee (CTLC) to assist local citizen groups in the formation of their own tax limitation committees. To date, committees have formed in Glendale (GTLC), South Pasadena (SPTLC), Arcadia (ATLC), Pasadena (PTLC) and Sierra Madre (SMTLC). Alexander stated that “After years of observation and evaluation TEAPAC leadership concluded the obvious: The only way to reduce government is to actually reduce government and that means reducing taxes. Period. It’s apparent to any fiscally conservative American that government – at all levels – is never going to fix itself. It has neither the inclination nor the political will to curb its spending or reduce the heavy tax burdens it has
imposed on its citizens and business owners.” Meyer agrees and argues that “Citizens have no choice but to reduce the government’s revenues and force them to manage with less. That’s why TEAPAC has developed this new “Tax Revolt Program” and set up a new committee called the California Tax Limit Committee for the specific purpose of repealing taxes and reducing the size of government. Eliminating a city’s utility tax will typically reduce annual revenues by three to ten percent. Given the bloated nature of government spending, managing with 10% less revenue should be achievable even with below average leadership.” CTLC plans to form local Tax Limitation Committees in all of the 48 cities in Los Angeles County with a UUT. This represents over $1.2 billion dollars of annual tax relief to millions of consumers, businesses and property owners.

Monrovia thespians work with professionals on local production
Voted Best Plumber in SGV
By Susan Motander With a largely professional cast and crew, the Taylor Performing Arts Center, in partnership with the Boone Foundation, is presenting The Wizard of Oz this summer. The production will not only provide the community with delightful summer viewing fare, but will also give students in the Monrovia schools a chance to work with professionals in various aspects of stagecraft. Patrick Garcia, Director of Performing Arts for the Monrovia Unified School District, explained that while the “professionals” make up the majority of the cast, several high school students had also auditioned for, and garnered, roles in the show. “The choreographer, Paul David Bryant, and the music director, Brigham Freeth, were among the professional staff members who helped prepare our students for their auditions by giving a class at the high school in professional audition etiquette and attire,” he said. “ It was a nuts-ofbolts class on what to expect.” The Monrovia School District has been working to prepare students for various career paths. “We feel that by including the students in all aspects of the performing arts we are giving them ideas of different pathways to careers in the entertainment industry,” Garcia said. To that end, this performance, while hiring professionals to head up the various behind-the-scenes aspects of a production, has a staff largely made up of students gaining needed

work experience. For example, Martyn Tyler is the production’s stage manager, however, as he explained, his crew is made up of 12 students from Monrovia High School. “I am also the Technical Director of the Theater and work here throughout the year.” he said. “The students have gotten to know me over the course of the year and through the student productions we held here. They may have been reticent to become involved in our earlier professional productions, but now they are more comfortable with me and with getting involved.” Allen Hunt expressed the same enthusiasm about working with the students. He said that the production has 8 or so local high school and middle school
students in supporting roles such as Nicco Ganley, the ‘captain’ of the flying monkeys. In addition, there are 42 elementary school children cast as munchkins and flying monkeys. “The very little ones are our ‘enchanted poppies’,” Hunt explained with a grin. “I have been in many aspects of the business and am a teacher now myself,” Hunt said. “It is a nice thing to pass along to these young people what I have learned.” There will be eight performances of the Wizard of Oz: Fridays July 11 and 18 at 8 PM; Saturdays July 12 and 19 and Sundays July 13 and 20 at both 2 and 8 PM. Tickets for all performances are $25 for general adult admission, $15 for students and children age 12 and younger.

State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson releases blueprint to improve teaching of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in California For California to maintain its leadership in hightech innovation, the state must emphasize helping students become literate in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said today as his STEM Task Force issued a report titled INNOVATE: A Blueprint for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in California Public Education. “California is in a new era of education where getting students ready for college and career means acknowledging the needs of tomorrow’s workforce,” Torlakson said. “The new Blueprint for STEM will help us chart that course for the future and meet that demand.” The STEM Task Force was charged by Torlakson and Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla (D-Concord) with drafting a new vision and direction for STEM education in the state. The resulting Blueprint for STEM offered recommendations in seven general areas to expand and improve STEM education in California: 1. Public Awareness: Increase public awareness about the importance of STEM education to ensure support for these fields of study. 2. Resources: Increase support for STEM learning from government, business, charities, and communities through partnerships. 3. Access: Make highquality STEM experiences
and programs accessible to all students in and out of school, before and after school, and to underrepresented youth and girls. 4. Framework: Establish guidance for STEM teaching and learning in all grades that line up with the Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. 5. Professional Learning: Adopt policies and standards to train teachers in STEM education. 6. Assessment and Accountability: Consider STEM in the state’s testing and accountability systems. 7. Availability of STEM Materials: Ensure that STEM programs can identify and access excellent learning resources. The Blueprint for STEM noted that California is in a prime position for enhancing STEM education as the state is actively engaged in remodeling the K-12 system through Common Core and Local Control Funding Formula implementation. STEM jobs are expected to grow 21.4 percent over the next five years, versus a 10.4 percent growth in jobs overall, and business leaders say they do not have enough skilled workers to fill these jobs. Even students who work outside the STEM fields will have to deal with complex issues that require strong science competence. They will also be consumers of increasingly sophisticated technologies. Torlakson convened the STEM Task Force two years ago, made up
The Doozies
of parents, teachers, administrators, and industry leaders. It is led by Herb Brunkhorst, Ph.D., Chair of the Department of Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education at California State University, San Bernardino; and Susan Hackwood, Ph.D., Executive Director of the California Council on Science and Technology. Members examined the status of STEM learning in the state, including curriculum, instructional practices, professional development for teachers, student testing, existing infrastructure, and partnerships with the community and business. For a more detailed look into the Task Force’s findings and recommendations, visit the California Department of Education’s STEM Task Force Web page. Torlakson is also inviting educators to attend the Second Annual California STEM Symposium on September 21–23, 2014, in San Diego as part of continuing efforts to enhance STEM education in California. This one-of-a-kind gathering will showcase STEM programs, curriculum, strategies, resources, Common Core, and Next Generation Science Standards. More than 200 presenters will share their best practices with attendees. Registration is now open. Presenters and vendors are invited to apply to showcase their STEM programs, projects, and products. To sign up, visit the Californians Dedicated to Education Web page.
El Monte and LA County Fire confiscate 51 tons of illegal fireworks The El Monte Police Department and Los Angeles County Fire Department are working together to emphasize the need for fireworks safety and to discuss enforcement efforts to discourage the use of illegal fireworks this Fourth of July. Officials from the City of El Monte, the City’s Police Department and the Los Angeles County Fire Department issued a stern warning that individuals caught using illegal fireworks could face a $1,000 fine. The agencies also displayed a portion of the more than 51 tons of confiscated illegal fireworks and provided a demonstration of their combustibility by setting off some of the contraband. "This year we are continuing to work together in an effort to find real solutions to dealing with illegal fireworks within our City and I’m already proud of the results to get dangerous fireworks off our streets," said El Monte Mayor Pro Tem Bart Patel, who Chairs the City’s special fireworks task force.

As of July 1, the El Monte Police Department has confiscated more than 51 tons of illegal fireworks during 25 sting operations in several area cities, resulting in 41 felony arrests. "If you use or possess illegal fireworks, you will receive a citation for $1,000," El Monte Police Chief Steve Schuster said. "This is a zero-tolerance program and no warnings will be given. Safety is our utmost priority." Plans for enforcement include 33 extra police officers and supervisors on patrol who will be dedicat-
ed solely for the purpose of issuing citations and making arrests on July 4, from 2 p.m. to midnight. Arrests will be made for felony offenses (possession of 100 pounds or more of illegal fireworks and other dangers explosives/devices). Should offenders not pay their citations, the citations will be turned over to a collection agency and offenders will potentially face a lien being placed on their property taxes and the City will receive payment at that time. Only fireworks marked "Safe and Sane" are legal and can only be used on July 3 and July 4 between 10 a.m. and 11 p.m.
Governor signs bill clarifying protections against retaliation in the workplace Assemblymember Roger Hernández announces AB 2751 was signed over the weekend. This measure makes a number of clarifying and clean-up changes to AB 263 (Employment retaliation: immigration-related

practices) signed into law last year. “I want to thank Governor Brown for his continued support of workers’ rights. Last year, Governor Brown signed my bill AB 263 where employers are prohibited from using immigration status against workers who exercise their rights under the California Labor Code or local ordinances. This year, AB 2751 makes a number of clarifying changes to AB 263 to continue protecting workers against intimidation by any employer,” said Hernández. AB 2751 makes it unlawful for any employer to threatened or file a false report with any state or federal agency. Also, the $10,000 civil penalty enacted in AB 263 is to be paid directly to the aggrieved worker who filed the claim.
Last year, AB 263 was signed into law which allows a civil action by an employee or other person who is the subject of an unfair immigration-related practice, and would authorize a court to order a suspension of the business license for up to 14 days of a person who violates these provisions for a first violation, up to 30 days for a second violation, and up to 90 days for a third or subsequent violation. This bill also protects against retaliatory practices such as an employer to e-verify a worker, or even re-verify the worker. Immigrant workers are more likely to experience wage and work hour law violations. Approximately 76 percent of immigrant workers worked off the clock without pay, while over 85 percent did not receive overtime pay.

AFT Convention in Los Angeles - July 11-14 Fighting back, fighting forward on top domestic issues The American Federation of Teachers’ midJuly convention in Los Angeles will focus on fighting back and fighting forward on key domestic issues to reclaim the promise of America, including the Common Core State Standards, due process and tenure for educators, and investing public pension dollars for much-needed infrastructure projects. The convention will take place July 11-14 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. On July 10, the AFT will host a major community event at All Peoples Community Center in East Los Angeles, focusing on literacy, anti-hunger and health. In partnership with First Book, 10,000 free, new books will be distributed to disadvantaged children and their families, along with bags of groceries. Another set of 5,000 books will be delivered to the Los Angeles Food Bank, while hundreds of books also will be distrib-
uted at several other sites around East Los Angeles. AFT conventions are policymaking events, with the more than 3,500 delegates discussing and voting on numerous resolutions, such as ensuring accountability for equity and excellence in public education; delinking the implementation of the Common Core standards from the consequences of high-stakes assessments; maintaining due process and tenure; creating a healthcare system that puts patient care above profits; and ending the reliance on a contingent academic labor system in higher education. AFT President Randi Weingarten will give the keynote address on July 11, which will include some exciting announcements. Delegates will hear from various lawmakers, policymakers and political candidates, including California Gov. Jerry Brown; Los Angeles May-
or Eric Garcetti; U.S. Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.); U.S. Rep. Michael Honda (D-Calif.); and Tom Torlakson (California’s superintendent of public instruction). Appearing by video will be first lady Michelle Obama; Tom Wolf, Pennsylvania Democratic gubernatorial candidate; and Mary Burke, Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate. Former President Bill Clinton will appear by video to discuss the AFT’s work with the Clinton Global Initiative on the investment of public pension dollars for infrastructure projects. In other notable sessions, delegates will hear from community members who have been deeply involved with local AFT affiliates on various issues and campaigns, including actress Cynthia Nixon and her wife, Christine Marinoni, from New York City, parent Helen Gym from Philadelphia, and student Asean Johnson and activist Jitu Brown from Chicago.

Basin. However, Bruce Inman, director of public works, has said in a recent interview that areas on the perimeter of the city are experiencing a browning of the water due to its chemical interaction with the pipes that are as old as 90 years. While MWD officials have stated it has a twoyear stored water supply, it could halt sales to the city of Sierra Madre if the supply dwindles despite the fact that the city has bought enough water through March 2015, Inman has
said. At a city council meeting on June 24, a idea was brought about by Council Member Denise Delmar that would ask residents to conserve water at a 30 percent rate as opposed to a 20 percent rate. And she added a building moratorium or water service connection moratorium was also necessary. The city is expected to discuss its options at its July 8 meeting. As far as how the city is doing with current
conservation measures at this point, Inman said 5 percent more water is being conserved this year than last even while it should be at 20 percent conservation. A rate of 20 percent conservation was passed 14 months ago, but with the issue of browning water coming into play penalties were removed in November for residents who couldn’t conserve the necessary water.

REAL ESTATE, HOME & GARDEN What does it mean to be a REALTOR By Hugo Torres Somewhere in the Twitterverse someone asked the question. "What does it mean to be a REALTOR today?" I've come across similar questions before but on this given day the urgency evoked in the "today" gave me pause and caused me to reflect. For years, I've talked about the virtues of working with a professional who takes on the responsibilities set forth in the REALTOR code of ethics. Outlined statistics that prove that consumers who contract a member of the NAR will typically fare better in their real estate goals. Promoted by the lobbying power of our association to enact positive change at the state and national levels. What does it all mean though? More important, what does it mean for the real estate consumer today? Interestingly enough, the overwhelming majority of conversations I've had about the importance of being a REALTOR have been with other real estate professionals. In over 10 years as a member of this industry I've seldom talked to a buyer or seller who has directly asked me in depth questions on the meaning of the “R” pinned to my shirt
collar that tells the world my profession. It could be that everyone already knows what being a REALTOR is all about. Have the commercials and print advertising educated them all over the years? Perhaps the “R” is now synonymous with real estate and anyone who wears it simply tells those around that she/he is free to ask questions about the current market? Either of those propositions could be true. That is unlikely, though. Moreover, the romantic in me feels that the question needs an answer and I too want to understand the meaning of a REALTOR. Modern times seem to be witnessing an erosion in the practice of principles. Some in my industry are taking short cuts and cloaking themselves in the glitz of their high levels of production. They then claim this allows them to circumvent the rules and ethical promises they once pledged. They are wellknown real estate agents and will continue to be successful because the machinery of marketing has already taken hold. These agents are not my heroes. I became a real estate
sales professional and began my business because I wanted to provide a service to my community and in the process make a comfortable living. To accomplish this goal I derived a mission statement and adopted the REALTOR code of ethics. These two set of ideals act as a guiding light when I make decisions affecting those who I welcome as client-friends. I model myself after those agents who have built upon themselves an ethical business and whose clients return to them year after year. Fellow agents flock to these men and women for advice and counsel. Therefore, being a REALTOR today means holding an unwavering belief that professional challenges can be answered solely by key fundamental ideals. Like our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence, I believe that some truths are selfevident and that true professionals abide by them with intelligent zeal. The public may not always ask the question when they encounter the “R”. Marketing may be working but I'm betting that staying true to a code will earn their ultimate trust. That goal is what brings meaning to what I do.
Friends of the Sierra Madre Library celebrate Banner Year Friends of the Sierra Madre Library celebrated another successful year on June 19. The Hawaiian themed dinner held at the United Methodist Church was attended by over 90 community members of “The Friends of Sierra Madre Library,” including board members, trustees, volunteers and guests. President Pat Alcorn welcomed participants, made introductions and expressed her gratitude to all the many volunteers who make the library such a center of the community. She recounted the over 4,000 hours of volunteering given to the Sierra Madre Library during the course of this year! Quite a tribute to our community and Library Friends! Sierra Madre Library has more than just books on
its shelves. It also offers the community with interesting guest speakers, musical performances, preschool and infant programs, educational activities and access to technology…..to name just a few activities and benefits. This year, as in the past, the outstanding contributions from volunteers, community businesses, and organizations was evident in the success of the many fundraising events held. The bimonthly Used Book Sales event exceeded expectations and should be inching its mark to raising over $20,000--now that is an unbelievable number of books donated and sold to a substantial number of library visitors. The Annual Wine Tasting event raised $23,000 and the Community Art Fair added over $18,000 to the support of our library and its
programs. It can easily be understood why the many volunteers are appreciated and needed to continue this level of fund raising! Margret Quigley, Director of Board Development, honored departing board members: Sue Hart, Alan Leahy and Sandra Dickey for their years of outstanding service to the Friends of the Library. She also introduced new Board Members, Directors at Large, Francis Smith, Pete Siberell and Lynsey Plume. She expressed her great expectations for the continuing success of the Library programs during the coming year!

Garden-tainment creates lasting memories for guests by Melinda Myers
Summer is filled with parties, gatherings, picnics and more. We all want to make these occasions special and memorable for our guests. Many gardeners tend to schedule events around peak bloom or harvest in order to share the beauty and flavor from their garden. Unfortunately nature does not always cooperate. It seems we are saying “you should have been here last week” or “come back next week when the flowers will be at their peak”. No need to worry. It may be considered cheating by the purist, but isn’t it all about creating a great space and event for our guests? Consider adding some fun flower accents. Metal flower sculptures like daisy bouquet stakes, hollyhock stem stakes or aluminum fiddleheads insure color throughout the season. Or make it fun with faucet handle flowers (gar-
deners.com), which are sure to spark some conversation amongst your guests. You can also add some extra color with a bit of floral paint. Use garden colors to paint seedheads of flowers past their prime. Just cover the stem and leaves to insure only the seedheads get painted for a more realistic look. It might fool your guests or give them a good idea for their own garden. Or stop by your local garden center. Many have flowering planters and large size annuals that you can use to fill in voids and add color to the garden. Pot a few of these up and use them as centerpieces on the tables. A search of the garage or visit to a thrift store may find reasonably priced fun items you can convert into containers. Keep your guests comfortable and the mosquitoes at bay with the gentle breeze of a fan. Mosquitoes are weak fliers and
the gentle breeze of a fan can keep them away. Or step it up with the help of geranium oil. It’s natural, fragrant and can help repel mosquitoes. And be sure to include fresh-from-the-garden flavor in your beverages and dishes. A pot of basil or mint near the party means guests can flavor their own lemonade tea or mojito. The hollow stem of lovage, cut down to size, makes a great straw for your tomato juice or bloody Mary. Your guests won’t forget the fun of sipping their drink through this celeryflavored straw. Then add some color and a gourmet touch to your salads with a few edible flowers. Nasturiums, roses and calendulas are just a few to consider. Just be sure they are edible and pesticide-free before serving them to your guests. Use fresh-from-thegarden or container herbs for grilling, salads and your main course. And consider
drying a few herbs or starting cuttings from your plants to use as party favors. Don’t let the sunset put an end to your celebration. Light up the evening with solar illuminated planters, solar pathway lighting and decorative fiber optic lights. Or go old school and set votive candles in a mason jar or tucked safely in the garden. So set aside some time to take a walk through the garden and plan a party or two for you, your family and friends to enjoy its beauty. Gardening expert, TV/radio host, author & columnist Melinda Myers has more than 30 years of horticulture experience and has written over 20 gardening books, including Can’t Miss Small Space Gardening and the Midwest Gardener’s Handbook.

fornia. Henry Miles, back only 12 points from Read has finished consistently in the top 4 every race so far and the Palmdale driver is always a threat whenever Super Stocks take to the Irwindale pavement. Last (but also first next Saturday, as they open the night's adventures with the 6-car/6-lap run for the money noted above) we come to the INEX Legend Cars. Colorful, quick, sometimes cantankerous, little machines with screaming 1,200cc motorcycle engines up under their hoods and highly-motivated drivers sitting about a foot or two back from there, racing for all they're worth and then some on the lowbanked inner third mile at Irwindale Speedway. Brent Scheidemantle (Alta Loma) has the points lead so far with two wins and a second place for 148 points, with Lakeside's Darren Amidon right on his bumper at 134 and Aaron Wells (Studio City) not all that far back in third with 128.

Half a billion dollars targeted to upgrade transportation and drive job growth New state budget also increases transportation funding by $351 million
The California Transportation Commission (CTC) has allocated $510 million to 83 transportation projects that will put people to work improving the state’s highways, bridges, and public transit. One of the highlights of the meeting was the CTC revising its funding estimate upward for the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) for the 2014-15 fiscal year from $2.2 billion to approximately $2.4 billion. The revision was in response to the new state budget, which provides $351 million in new transportation funding through the early repayment of loans made to the General Fund. The new funding includes $210 million for the SHOPP, which pays for transportation safety projects, pavement repair and preservation work, and upgrades bridges; $27 million for Caltrans maintenance projects; $100 million for city and county transportation; $9 million for bicycle
and pedestrian projects under California’s new Active Transportation Program; and $5 million to mitigate environmental effects of proposed transportation improvements. The $510 million in CTC funding allocations include nearly $163 million for “fix it first” projects that will repair bumpy pavement, preserve roads that are in good condition from deteriorating and upgrade bridges to make them safer and stronger. Most of California’s highways are more than a half-century old, and they carry nearly half of the nation’s container freight – heavy loads that pound our highways more than any other state. “To get the most bang for the buck for taxpayers, Caltrans targets dollars where they are most effective - pavement preservation,” Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty said. “Every $1 spent on preventive pavement maintenance saves Californians $11

Memorial for Harry Sneider slated - July 12 Harry Sneider, a contributor over the years to Arcadia Weekly, has passed. He was a world renowned fitness trainer, coach and trainer to Olympic athletes and longtime friend of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jack LaLanne. His memorial will be July 12 at 5pm at the former Ambassador College Student Center, currently Maranatha High School Student Center, at 169 S. St. John, Pasadena. Harry was a world record holder in the bench press, pressing 450 lbs at age 61! As a professional fitness trainer he trained many actors including Susan Anton for her role in Golden Girl and Tony Dow, "Wally" in "Leave it to Beaver". Coach Sneider trained Olympic medalists including Dwight Stones, high jumper; James Butts, triple jumper; and Mark Gorski, cyclist. Harry was nominated Track and

Field Coach for the 1984 Olympics. One of Coach Sneider's memorable trainees was Bob Wieland, who had his legs blown off from the hips down while serving in the Vietnam War. Harry completed four marathons with Bob and encouraged Bob on his walk across the United States on his knuckles to The White House. Coach
Sneider was always eager to help others achieve their ultimate human potential. Most of all Harry was a champion person! Overcoming an early childhood injury leaving him handicapped, he was an inspiration, a motivator, and touched the lives of many around the world with his positive attitude. He truly was larger than life.

Cal Phil season opener full of brilliant musicianship California Philharmonic Principal cellist Dennis Karmazyn and his emerging violin virtuoso son, 20-year-old Max Karmazyn, met a milestone in both their professional and personal relationship Saturday at Cal Phil’s season opener at Santa Anita’s infield. Though Dennis has been with the acclaimed orchestra for seven seasons and Max for three, their performance during the 2014 season opener marks the first time the talented duo were featured artists together during a Cal Phil concert. The concert, titled John Williams and Friends, featured the Karmazyns who captivated audiences with a performance of the Theme from Schindler’s List, in a special arrangement for cello and violin, created especially by Max for himself and his father. Then Karmazyns also performed the finale from Brahms’ Double Concerto,
which drew a standing ovation. “We love performing together. There is an inherent musical connection between father and son that you just don’t get performing with anyone else,” said Dennis, also the Principal Cello in Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, who has recorded for over 1,500 film scores and is recognized internationally as a renowned soloist and chamber artist with Columbia Artists’ Management. “Our primary focus is playing beautiful music. This has been the dynamic since Maxwell first began playing the violin at age 15 and we are thrilled to share this special moment with California Philharmonic and its loyal audiences.” Max, who attends college at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor pursuing a double major in Violin Performance and Composition. Cal Phil’s next performance is slated for July 12. -Photo by Terry Miller

search crew who noticed "something that didn't belong" in the very rugged terrain near Sespe Creek, according to a Ventura County Sheriff’s dept. spokesperson. The body was airlifted to Ventura County M.E.’s office, where the identity was confirmed with dental records. Herdman, 36, may have tried to climb the cliff in the dark and fell, according to the sheriff. The death was ruled accidental. The examiner’s office will release a full report in the next 30 days. Search and rescue teams found Herdman’s body June 27 a short distance from where he and fellow Arcadia firefighter Taylor Byars were camping on a four-day hiking trip. Herdman went missing after chasing after his dog, Duke, roughly two days into the four-day trip. Byars hiked out of the wilderness two days later after spending the first day trying to find his friend, according to the sheriff’s department. Mr. Byars made his way out of the wilderness area and notified authorities on the evening of Sunday, June 15, 2014. Beginning on Monday June 16, 2014, the Ventura County Sheriff and Fire Department, along with hundreds of volunteer Search and Rescue personnel searched for Mike Herdman concluding with the recovery of his body last Friday morning. Beth Stogner Arcadia Fire spokesperson said: “Our hearts are broken, individually and collectively, by the news of Mike's death. We are forever indebted to the Ventura County Sheriff's and Fire Departments for their gallant and exhaustive efforts to find our brother and friend and bring him
home. "We extend our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to Mike's family and stand ready to assist them in the difficult days, weeks, and months ahead. "We also want to express our sincere thanks to our community and the many others who shared

The World Cup dream for USA becomes a nightmare USA out of World Cup
Our dynamic Team at The Kensington promises to love and care for your family as we do their own
The United States’ World Cup dream ended in a nightmare on Tuesday night in Brazil with a 2-1 extra-time downfall to Belgium. After a scoreless game in 90 minutes of regulation, Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku struck in the first additional period to knock the U.S. out of the World Cup race. Julian Green got one back for the U.S. with 13 minutes to go, but it was not enough to avoid being eliminated at this stage for the second straight World Cup. As nervous patrons in pubs everywhere witnessed with eight minutes
left, a well-worked freekick found Clint Dempsey in the box, but the U.S. captain’s shot was saved by Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. The looks on everyones’ faces in London Gastropub told the story best.
The Agony and the Ecstasy of getting so close to a dream for a country that has embraced the world of football (soccer) only in recent years was clearly a defining moment in the history of the USA’s participation.

ur Team at The Kensington in Sierra Madre wakes up every day looking forward to the chance to provide assistance to seniors and their families. Why? Because we can’t imagine doing anything else more important. The residents we seek to serve have spent a lifetime giving of themselves to their spouse, their children, their profession, their community and sometimes, their country. It is our privilege to indulge them, and to take care of them— in return for the goodness they’ve shared so selflessly. Please stop by our Information Center to introduce yourself to us, and tell us about your family.

245 West Sierra Boulevard, Sierra Madre, CA 91024 www.TheKensingtonSierraMadre.com
Assemblyman Curt Hagman’s (R-Chino Hills) computer science education bill, Assembly Bill 1539, was unanimously passed by the Senate Education Committee, with a vote of 5-0. AB 1539 would encourage the Instructional Quality Commission of the Department of Education to develop content standards for teaching computer science in grades K-12 and recommend them to the State Board of Education for adoption by July 31, 2019. “I would like to thank
the members of the committee for their support of this measure,” stated Assemblyman Hagman. “Guaranteeing that computer science education is being taught throughout our schools is critical given the growth and influence of California’s technology sector. Content standards in computer science will ensure that students are equipped with the necessary tools to be successful in this industry. I am glad that we are one step closer to establishing these standards.”
Currently, enrollment in computer science in California is extremely low, as is continued interest in the subject. In 2010, only 4,500 computer science degrees were awarded in California public schools, while there were over 27,000 new computing and technology jobs in California alone. These fields are among the fastest growing in the nation and the demand for a qualified workforce emphasizes the need for more robust computer science standards in California.

UCLA awarded $7 million to unravel mystery genetic diseases Findings will provide answers to patients living with undiagnosed disorders
2178
The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is one of six institutions nationwide chosen by the National Institutes of Health to join their effort in tackling the most difficult-tosolve medical cases and develop ways to diagnose rare genetic disorders. Part of a $120 million initiative called the Undiagnosed Diseases Network, the four-year $7.2 million UCLA grant will enable comprehensive bedside to bench clinical research to support physicians’ efforts to give long-sought answers to patients who have been living with mystery diseases. “Undiagnosed diseases take a huge toll on patients, their families and the health care system,” said Dr. Katrina Dipple, a co-principal investigator of the grant with Drs. Stanley Nelson, Christina Palmer and Eric Vilain. “This funding will accelerate and expand our clinical genomics program, enabling us to quickly give patients a firm diagnosis and clarify the best way to treat them.” Despite extensive clinical testing by skilled physicians, some diseases remain
unrecognized because they are extremely rare, underreported or atypical forms of more common diseases. An interdisciplinary team of geneticists at each of the network sites will examine and study patients with prolonged undiagnosed diseases. “A vast number of children and adults suffer from severe, often fatal undiagnosed disorders,” explained Vilain. “This program will enable us to discover new genes causing ultra-rare medical conditions and to identify environmental factors that lead to disease or interact with genes to cause disease.” Patients will undergo an intensive week-long clinical assessment that includes a clinical evaluation, consultations with specialists and medical tests, including genome sequencing to identify genetic mutations. The team will also evaluate the impact of genetic counseling and genomic test results on patients and families to develop best practices for conveying this information. The Undiagnosed Diseases Network capital-
izes upon the strengths of UCLA’s genetic medicine program, particularly its Clinical Genomics Center, which utilizes powerful sequencing technology to diagnose rare genetic disorders. Using a simple blood sample from a patient and both parents, the test simultaneously searches 37 million base pairs in 20,000 genes to pinpoint the single DNA change responsible for causing a patient’s disease. To date, a specific genetic explanation has been identified in a quarter of the cases evaluated with this test, as well as a number of novel disease-causing genes. UCLA is the only facility in the western U.S. and one of only three nationwide that has a laboratory that can perform genomic sequence directly usable for patient care. The UCLA Medical Genetics Clinic cares for more than 750 new patients per year, and offers comprehensive pre- and post-test genetic counseling. All patient studies will take place on the university campus at the Clinical Translational Research Center of the Clinical and Transla-

tional Science Institute. Network investigators will share genomic and clinical data gleaned from patients with their research colleagues nationwide to enhance understanding of rare and unknown diseases.

Movie making in Monrovia drops off The film industry in Monrovia has been picking up recently after a decline for several months, a Monrovia city official said on Monday. Diane Delmatoff, management analyst for the city of Monrovia, said the rise in popularity in reality programming had really hurt the city, which issues permits to film within in boundaries, mainly in Old Town along Myrtle Avenue and at Canyon Park. “It’s going OK,” Delmatoff said. “It had dropped off for a while and now it’s picking back up. We got two calls today about filming. It’s kind of dropped off industry wide, not just with us. It’s just become too expensive. And as television has gone more to reality TV, they have very small budgets. Plus, other places are offering a lot of incentives.” Keeping up with the film industry has made Monrovia become more competitive, she said. “We have lowered our prices,” she said. “In
By SHEL SEGAL the past when there were great big budgets it wasn’t an issue. As budgets have gotten smaller and smaller our prices did go down, especially if someone wants to film in Old Town.” Filming in Old Town has its benefits for production companies, Delmatoff said, as the street looks like it could be dropped in just about any small town in America. “It can be anywhere in the U.S.,” she said. “In fact, the call I got today they wanted to be in Grosse Point, Mich. But it can be very expensive to film in Old Town. You have to make agreements with merchants you will be filming in front of.” One local issue with filming is that some in town see it as a nuisance as opposed to a revenue generator, Delmatoff said. She added her office is trying to stay on top of the issue and keeping those in town informed about filming’s local benefits. “Part of it is education,” she said. “People don’t realize the benefits. They think of it just as an incon-
venience. There are some people who absolutely hate filming and you’re not going to change their minds. There’s other people who really want it and you have those people next door to each other, so what do you do?” But she said film crews do spend thousands of dollars in Monrovia and the surrounding areas, which is good for businesses and the local governments. And incentives should be offered to the production workers. “In our Old Town, what we asked some of the merchants to do when there’s filming they put a little sign in their window that says, ‘film crew discounts here,’” she said. “You may have a crew of 75 people, many of whom have never heard of Monrovia, they have a lot of down time, they bring their families back. Then it’s up to the business person to take advantage of it.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com. He can be followed via Twitter @segallanded.)

State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson unveils first local control funding formula calculations Local educational agencies can now see the highly anticipated first official calculations of $42 billion in school funding they will receive under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced today. The calculations for school districts and charter schools are displayed in the traditional funding exhibits, plus a new “LCFF Funding Snapshot.” “California’s new funding formula puts more decisions about education funding where they belong—in the hands of schools, parents, and teachers—and dedicates more resources to students most in need,” Torlakson said. “The information we are providing today will help administrators, teachers, and parents as they work together to help all students succeed.” The LCFF was enacted as part of the 2013 Budget Act and provides a new method of funding local educational agencies (LEAs). LEAs now receive base funding for all
students and additional funding if they serve students who are learning English, in foster care, or are low income. For most of this current year, LEAs have been receiving funds based on estimates by California Department of Education staff, while the state agency reprogrammed its systems and LEAs gathered and reported the data required to do the new LCFF calculations. Until the LCFF is fully phased-in in eight years, LEAs will receive a transitional amount based on how much they received under the old formula and how much they would have received if LCFF were fully phased-in. The state Legislature appropriated $2.1 billion toward the LCFF transition effort, which is included in the $42 billion in LCFF calculations released today. An additional $4.75 billion is slated for LCFF transition in the 2014-15 school year, which represents a significant investment in California public schools. The LCFF Funding
Snapshot provides people a “one-stop shop” to find information and is a significant step toward transparency and accountability. Instead of visiting several different Web pages, people may download the new LCFF Funding Snapshot from one Web page. The document provides a concise two-page summary of the main components of the LCFF transitional funding. The report provides information on each LEA’s attendance, LCFF entitlements, and funding sources. The data are also translated graphically in color-coded charts. The LCFF Funding Snapshot may be downloaded as a Portable Document Format or exported into an Excel spreadsheet. The California Department of Education completed the reprogramming of its systems and developed the LCFF Funding Snapshot through existing staff and resources. To access these reports for school districts and charter schools, visit the LCFF Funding Snapshot Web page.
University Club donates historic books to Pasadena Museum of History The University Club of Pasadena (founded 1922) recently donated a selection of thirty-six historic books from its “member’s library” to the Research Library and Archives of Pasadena Museum of History. James Harwood, president of the University Club, said, “We are pleased to donate these books to the museum, where they can be preserved, catalogued and made available to scholars and the public. Our club library is composed of books donated over the years by our members for display in a distinctive meeting space, but we have no professional librarian and no system for making known our holdings to those who could make scholarly use of them. The community is better served by turning these works over the institution which preserves Pasadena’s history.” The PMH Research Library is a specialized collection, containing several thousand books dedicated to the history of Pasadena and California. “This donation enhances our collection of local history and

local author books,” stated Laura Verlaque, Director of Collections. “In addition to a number of unusual local publications, I was pleased to receive several first editions of books by Earl Derr Biggers, Pasadena resident and author of the Charlie Chan mysteries.” The books will be catalogued and made available to the public in the
Research Library, which is open free of charge Thursdays through Sundays, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. It is located in the basement level of the History Center at Pasadena Museum of History, 470 W.

Rep. Chu, House Members Address the Lifeline For Pets Cat of the Week: "Willy" with such soulful living so long at our cat pad. Border Surge of Unaccompanied Minors eyes,Willy, has a special place in A quiet home with a loving
Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-27) along with Members of the House Judiciary Committee discussed the increasing number of unaccompanied minors fleeing Central America and crossing into the United States at the House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “An Administration Made Disaster: The South Texas Border Surge of Unaccompanied Alien Minors.” Rep. Chu released the following statement: “The very title of this hearing is misleading, just like the notion that these children have a “free pass” to stay in the U.S.,” said Rep. Chu. “The Republicans have come to a false
conclusion before hearing the facts. The fact is that our laws governing unaccompanied minors have not changed for the past 17 years. Rather, the primary reason for this surge is that children are running for their lives trying to escape the increasing violence in their home countries. This is a humanitarian crisis that requires a humanitarian approach.” “Earlier this week, I helped introduce the Vulnerable Immigrant Voice Act of 2014 to provide government appointed counsel to unaccompanied minors. The bill will help relieve the current backlog in our courts, and ensure children have a fair shot in immigra-
tion court.” Rep. Chu continued. “This legislation is a good first step, but the permanent solution continues to be passing comprehensive immigration reform.” Since October 2013, over 47,000 unaccompanied minors have come to the United States to seek refuge from extreme violence and abject poverty. A majority of these children are from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, countries that have experienced increasing violence in the recent months. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, as many as 58 percent of the minors could qualify for international protection.

Native American Day as an official state holiday one step closer Assemblymember Roger Hernández (D – West Covina) announced Assembly Bill 1973 passed the Senate Governmental Organization Committee on a 10-0 bi-partisan vote. AB 1973 elevates the recognition of Native American Day from a proclamation to an official state holiday, recognized annually on the fourth Friday of September. “It is an honor for this bill to move one step closer in recognizing Native Americans in California. As with any recognized holiday, Californians will be able to share, celebrate and honor the contributions
of Native Americans across this state. This measure recognizes the significant role of California's native peoples by establishing an official, unpaid state holiday,” stated Hernández. In 1968, California recognized the contributions of Native Americans by establishing American Indian Day. In 1998, the California Legislature passed AB 1953, which changed the name to Native American Day, and authorized public schools to incorporate the contributions of Native American peoples in school curriculum. With the passage of this bill, Native
American Day will hold the same status as Lincoln's Birthday and Columbus Day as an unpaid holiday. Currently, the cities of Berkeley, Nevada City, Santa Cruz, and Sebastopol observe Indigenous People Day, to recognize the cultural contributions of Native Americans. “The contributions of the Native American people demonstrate our rich history and add to the diverse ethnic fabric of our great state. This holiday has been long overdue, it is time to honor those individuals who played a major part in our history,” said Hernández.

APIDC holds 2014 disabilities leadership institute graduation ceremony On June 1, 2014, Asians and Pacific Islanders with Disabilities of California (APIDC) held a graduation ceremony for the inaugural class of its Leadership Institute. With generous funding from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and Southern California Gas Company, the APIDC Leadership Institute was established to develop young adults to become leaders and advocates for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders with disabilities. Raymond Kwong, Daphna Patel and Joanne Lee of Pasadena Community College, Kevin Phung from Rio Hondo Community College and Silkvia To from California State University, Los Angeles completed a 15-hour training program over three weekends which covered the history of the disability
rights and the Asian American civil rights movements and leadership qualities, and skills in coalition-building, communications with the media, fundraising, networking, advocacy and establishing and running a non-profit organization. Speakers included California State Controller John Chiang, public relations professional Trisha Murakawa, and youth and community organizer Bryan Takeda. At the graduation ceremony, the graduates, together with their families, friends and teachers were addressed by Stewart Kwoh, President and Executive Director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Los Angeles and Guy Leemhuis, Commissioner on the California Commission on Disabilities Access and a former APIDC Board Member. Graduates
were then given the opportunity to reflect on their experience in the Leadership Institute. They spoke about how the leadership training gave them more confidence and inspired them to advocate more for themselves and others with disabilities. They also mentioned how they came away with more skills and ideas to develop their initiatives, and expressed appreciation for the newfound community of fellow advocates, friends and mentors of whom they can now reach out to for support and advice. APIDC is a grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to giving a voice and face to Asians and Pacific Islanders with all mental, physical, and developmental disabilities through research, advocacy, and community engagement.
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.

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 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-14-612279-JB . 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.

The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney.

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)730-2727 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.servicelinkASAP.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9411-7124.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 5316 BARTLETT AVENUE, SAN GABRIEL, CA 91776 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $503,672.22 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do busi-
ness in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000440-14-1. 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.
