Allegedly, Kurniawan was buying large stocks of negociant Burgundy and re-labeling them as more expensive wines, such as Domaine de la RomanéeConti. He consigned several lots of Clos St. Denis from

150 Firefighters battle brush fire in Peck Road Water Conservation Park On Saturday, August 9, 2014, at 3:35 p.m., Arcadia Firefighters responded to a reported brush fire in the Peck Road Water Conservation Park, in the 5400 Block of North Peck Road, Arcadia. Upon arrival, Arcadia Fire Battalion Chief Cody Cerwin reported a brush fire burning freely in the basin. Firefighters immediately began suppression and search and rescue operations. High temperatures, low humidity, dry conditions, and moderate winds contributed to the rapid growth of the fire, which quickly encompassed nearly ten acres. Approximately 150 firefighters from Arcadia, Monrovia, Pasadena, San Gabriel, and Los Angeles County Fire Departments joined forces to battle the blaze, including air support and hand crews from Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The fire extended to a nearby automobile salvage yard, where several vehicles were burned. Firefighters suppressed the fire within an hour and continue to monitor and extinguish spot fires at this time. Although the exact cause of the fire remains under investigation, fire investigators are on scene and have identified the origin of the fire in a homeless encampment in the gravel pit. No injuries or loss of life have been reported. About the City of Arcadia: Nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, Arcadia is an 11.38 square mile community with a population of just over 56,000. Located approximately 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, Arcadia is known for combining small-town charm with the conveniences and amenities of a mid-size city.

Dorothy's Place Nurturing the soul
By Dorothy Denne I seem to be thinking about and dealing with food a lot lately. I don't know. It is just so darn good. Nutritionists used to say we needed three square meals a day. Three squares make me round. Now they say we need several small meals through-
out the day. That makes me even rounder. Mine usually aren't small. I mean, once you start, why would you stop until it is all gone? Food is good for the soul. Thomas Moore said, "When you look closely at the image of soulfulness, you see that it is tied to life in all its particulars--good food, satisfying conversation, genuine friends and experiences that stay in the memory and touch the heart." I strongly believe in
caring for the soul. What better way than to have the experience of genuine friends sharing satisfying conversation while eating good food? As Moore said, that is life in all its particulars. I enjoy all of the above. I'm not quite yet willing to give up any of them. I think the time may be fast approaching. The other day when I went for my walk, my fanny pack was so tight I had to wear it around my neck. I think that was a sign.

Arcadia PD Safe Summer Campaign With the assistance of Jan’s Towing, The Arcadia Police Department Traffic Bureau has developed the Safe Summer Campaign. This campaign gives the Traffic Bureau the opportunity to reach out and educate the community of the importance of not driving while impaired. Education is one of three primary tenets of the Traffic Bureau’s mission (Education, Engineering, & Enforcement). The Safe Summer Campaign falls right in line with educating the community and is a great way to remind everyone that driving while impaired is dangerous and deadly. The Safe Summer Campaign is a display of a vehicle, which was previously involved in a DUI related traffic collision, where an occupant was killed. The vehicle will be on a trailer displayed on the center median of Huntington Drive just west of Gate Three. Surrounding the vehicle are two banners. The first banner reads “Arcadia Police Department Safe Summer Campaign”; the second banner reads “Don’t Drink and Drive.” Starting on Thursday
-Courtesy Photo
August 07, 2014, the vehicle will be displayed for two weekends before being removed on Monday August 18, 2014. Nearby, there will be a brochure box containing Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) brochures titled “Traffic Safety and You.” The hope is to grab the attention of passers-by, to make a lasting impression, and to cause them to think twice before driving while impaired. Through the Police Department’s partnership with the Arcadia Unified School District and Jan’s towing, the Police Department’s Traffic

Today’s vote in the Assembly on concurrence in

of President Barack Obama’s election in the state’s history and social science standards for grades seven to twelve. “The election of President Barack Obama is a significant part of history and should not just be a mere footnote within textbooks,” said Assemblymember Holden. “This bill would create an opportunity for our children to learn about the historical significance of electing our first African-American President. Children need to understand that for years intimidation and physical violence prevented millions of African Americans from voting and alienated them from the electoral process, making the 2008 election of President Obama even more noteworthy.” California has not updated its standards for nine years due largely to the state’s fiscal crisis. The State Board of Education is expected to review instructional materials during the 2015-2016 school year.

Joe Brown offers his thoughts on “Civilian Oversight” Over the past months much discussion and debate has centered on “Civilian Oversight” for the Pasadena Police Department. I will minimize my opinions on the merits and demerits for such a committee, addressing any isolated OIS case or any criticism of the PPD. From my remembrance, ALL recent officer involved misconduct issues have occurred with officers from previous administrations of Melekian, Roberson and Jerry Oliver. Reflect back and you will see more reforms, transparency and community engagement under Chief Phillip Sanchez than any of his predecessors. Whose administration sought a gang injunction and which PPD chief lifted it? Regarding the “Civilian Oversight Committee,” and the allegations regarding a lack of trust and rubber stamping by councilmembers on the Public Safety Committee I do not subscribe to. Frequently, I hear spirited discussion and lively debate being shared by all members. Especially, John Kennedy, (past NAACP president) and Steve Madison, (Federal Attorney). Substantive matters from Community stakeholders have become more engaging. Meeting dates and locations are infrequent. Now think about it, would “Trust” be elevated if a committee comprised of only one social, economic or ethnic group be a best practices for a
oversight committee? What about an Independent Auditor at a cost of $350,000.00 annually to report the findings to the Public Safety Committee who say there is no trust? With the high single digits unemployment numbers in this city, would these funds be best utilized to increase employment? What is further confusing are from those who speak for “African Americans only” and exclude concerns for other ethnic groups. Down thru the years, the Pasadena NAACP believed in Inclusion for anyone and all citizens who are disenfranchised. Was not Dr. King’s cadre of supporters ALL MEN, ALL Religions with no regards toward ethnicities? You know the speech as well as I. The complaint form was modified out of concern for ALL complainants. The resurrection of a 4 year-old “resolved issue” seems to come forth to inflame others with rhetoric and hyperbole. Unnecessary civil actions against those who may fabricate facts did not curtail reporting officer for inappropriate conduct while I served as president. On the issue of the “document disposal resolution” recently passed by the Pasadena City Council...I reviewed Government Code Section 34090 and it only requires files to be maintained for a minimum of two years. Pasadena extended its records keeping to 5 years. The Pasa-
dena NAACP had archived records of files from most complaints for the past 24 years. I hope they still exist as a reference. Unless other Government Code Sections supersede section 1043/1045, the 5-year period on Internal Affairs files is being complied with. Integrity, OIS, sexual misconduct and Brady law violations have always remained indefinite. But, what other cities not under a federal court decree maintains such files this long? Has any legal cases come before the court “under penalty of perjury” signature box? Searching other communities, I could not locate non-hire background files remaining with a prospective employee “Just in case”. Advocacy becomes reduced when sealing records and giving residents a 2nd chance is not at the fore-front. So which is it...allow civilians' past misdeeds continue to hang over prospective employees forever. My past encounters with the Police Protective League on issues in the Police Officers Bill Of Rights were “complaints more than 5 years are not issues for discussion or sharing” and, were upheld in a court rulings by Judge Yaffe, Div 61, Los Angeles Superior Court. Advocacy and troubling the water is great when “facts” are included, Joe Brown, Past President, Pasadena NAACP

There have now been 3 wars between Gaza and Israel in the past 6 years. If nothing is done to stop the protagonist - the Islamic resistance army more commonly known as Hamas - then the only certain future for the area is that there will be another war in the not too distant future. While many world leaders recognize the necessity of eliminating Hamas - both for the benefit of Israel and for the Palestinian civilians who suffer negatively both directly and indirectly from the decisions made by Hamas - few have the foresight or vision as to how to accomplish this task. The Palestinian authority does not have the will or the capability to eradicate Hamas. The Arabs cannot be trusted to do it - with the possible ex-
ception of Egypt, which has been destroying terror tunnels in Gaza, enforces the necessary blockade to stop terror supplies reaching Hamas, and has thwarted an Islamic suicide bomber terror attack and rocket attacks aimed at Israeli civilians in the past month. Israel has the capability to get rid of Hamas, but the world accuses Israel of being too brutal in doing it. The western countries that could do it know full well that if they were to do it that they would behave as 'brutally' as they accuse Israel of in the face of Islamic terrorists using civilian human shields, and they would have to come to terms with their hypocritical stance towards Israel. Western countries also have no appetite to fight any Islamic terrorist group - espe-
cially one playing hostage to a civilian population. While it is, sadly, abundantly clear that the world is not actually prepared to do what is needed to stop the conflict reoccurring, the western world does have some control. Funds given to the Palestinians should be strictly controlled - it is irresponsible (if not downright murderous) to continue to look the other way while the Palestinian terrorists get rich, spare no expense on buying rockets and invest millions in terror tunnels. Without funds the terror trade of Hamas will die, even though the ideology of course will not. Perhaps this is the best solution that the western world is prepared to fathom for now.

Letters to the Editor (Cont.) Are they spending our money wisely?
The Sierra Mare City Government really knows how to spend our hardearned tax dollars. Let's just list a few items that sort of jump out and subject to question. The Athens Services (our Trash Company) for $92,000. Do the people pay for this service? What is the cost to the City? Do they receive all the Franchise fees that are charged to the users, which were not backcharged to the people before? Bank of America is listed as $40,000 for purchases with City Credit Cards. How many employees have credit cards and what is purchased? Do the people pay for gasoline purchases for privately owned cars? Do the people pay for "business lunches" or other items of personal benefit? The City of Glendale for $75,000 per year with a 10-year contract to train
paramedics. Aren't they certified EMT and/or paramedics before they are hired? It's only $750,000 of our money. Waterworks Aquatics pays the City $72,000 per year and makes improvements at the rate of approximately $50,000 per year. This isn't enough for some council members they want more even though they admit the government could not do the job of pool administration. Consultant was paid approximately $250,000 for advisory work on the General Plan. Shouldn't we have done this without this contract, which was actually by [sic] a number of volunteer citizens over a four-year period? First Transit, $1,500,000 for senior citizens transit. Couldn't this have been done at less cost as was in years past? Pasadena Humane Society for $27,000 for ani-
mal control services. Why, when they collect all of the license fees paid to them directly? The Ferguson Group - $65,000 for Federal lobbying services. Is this waste? Can't our government people talk to our elected representatives? They thought so last year when four of them went to Washington and how much did that cost the taxpayers? The Gas Company $30,000 Franchise Agreement for City utilities. Doesn't the Gas Company back charge the people for this franchise? It was never billed to the people before. Willdan Associates $240,950 for building inspection services. This job was a part-time, two day a week job. We could go on further, but we are sure that you get the point that the City is wasting our hard-earned dollars. Sierra Madre Watchman
Rosemead Boulevard In your May issue there was a letter from Mr. Higgenbottom regarding Rosemead Blvd. Yes; the Rosemead Boulevard design and construction project was approved, began and completed by approximately 2012. When the present council and new City Manager discarded the original plans, and drew up a completely different set of plans. The history of Rosemead Blvd. started back around 2006. Councilman/Mayor Dan Arrige and a group of volunteers started cleaning Rosemead Blvd., starting at the Bridge between the City
of Rosemead and Temple City railroad tracks—pulling weeds, clearing trash, garbage, etc. It had been a disgusting eyesore for a long time. Once a year the City and Council Members meet with Supervisor Mike Antonovich to discuss the needs of the City and what the County can provide. Councilman Dan Aarige brought up about how Rosemead Blvd. needed to be improved. Supervisor Antonovich explained that Rosemead Blvd. belongs to (that it runs through) Temple City, so it’s up to that City to make what improvements they wanted to make. The project was
taken over by the City’s Public Works Department; also the County’s Public Works Department worked with the City of Temple City Public Works Department. A bid was sent out on the project and an engineering group by the name of Avant Garde was hired and was able to get 6 or 7 grants that paid for the project. Mr. Higgenbottom, I don’t know why the City paid 20 million for a project that plans and construction were paid for by grants. The completed Rosemead Blvd. does not look anything like the original plans, even down to the landscaping. -C. Wilson, Temple City

the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works and the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County conduct more than 50 free Household Hazardous Waste and EWaste Roundups annually throughout the County to provide residents with a convenient way to rid their homes of unwanted hazardous materials.

Accident on 210 Freeway Continued from page 1
the center divider east of Rosemead Boulevard, officials said. A pick-up truck was hit by the semi, Pasadena Fire Department spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said. The other vehicle was somehow involved but it is too early in the investigation to know exactly how. The big rig driver and third vehicle’s driver were also injured. Two of the drivers were transported to Huntington Memorial
Hospital, and the big rig driver remained on scene with his arm in a sling after paramedics treated him. Although the injuries were considered minor, the drivers were still considered trauma patients due to the extent of the crash according to Pasadena Fire dept. records. Energized power lines were also knocked out as a result but no Gold Line trains were affected and operations continued as normal.
But adding fuel to the already hot tempers of drivers on their commute Monday night was construction of the Second Ave railway crossing at Huntington for the fourth day. The steel girders for the Gold Line in Arcadia halted all traffic in that area and diverted it on parallel streets which quickly became clogged. The average commute from Monrovia to Pasadena on Monday evening took over 65 minutes.

The Recording Academy remembers Robin Williams
Oscar-winning actor and comedian Robin Williams apparently took his own life at his Northern California home Monday, law enforcement officials said. Williams was 63. "He has been battling severe depression of late," publicist Mara Buxbaum told CNN. "This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time." Coroner investigators suspect "the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia," according to a statement from the Marin County, California, Sheriff's office. Hundreds of thousands of tributes and a makeshift memorial at his Hollywood star mark the end of one of the most illustrious comedic careers in history. The Recording Academy, based in Santa Monica released this statement of Williams’ death. “Five-time GRAMMY® winner Robin Williams was a prolific actor and stand-up comedian who literally did it all: television, film, theater,
and live performances. After gaining fame in his breakout role of Mork in the television show 'Mork & Mindy,' Williams became a household name. His improvisational skills and comedic timing were unmatched, and he quickly established himself as a larger-than-life presence on screen and on stage. His roles in classic movies such as Mrs. Doubtfire, The Birdcage, and Jumanji showcased his comedic chops, while his versatility was reflected in dramatic films
By Terry Miller such as Dead Poets Society, personally — to a number of The Fisher King, and Good worthwhile causes throughWill Hunting, which earned out his life. Our entertainhim an Academy Award® ment community has lost an for Best Supporting Actor. Al- immense talent, a true inspithough Williams is most rec- ration, and a creative genius, ognized for his film and tele- and his remarkable legacy vision work, he has received will forever be immortalized GRAMMYs for Best Com- in his vast and impressive edy Recording three times, body of work.

dining & entertainment A breakthrough in education which takes our imaginations to another level By Jennifer Schlueter When my friend invited me to an event at the Sono Studios in LA to experience a sound movie, I didn’t know what to expect. After some welcoming drinks and snacks, we, approximately 40(?) guests, chose our seats in a semicircle around Audiojack creator and founder David Tobin. Each chair was equipped with a blindfold, a pen, and a notepad. David then gave us a short introduction of what was about to happen, asked us to turn our phones off, relax, put the blindfolds on, and focus on our imagination so we could create a story along with the sound movie. As soon as the room got quiet, I listened to my first Audiojack - an “audio-based movie with no words, no music, no video, only sounds,” as the website describes it. I heard rain, doors squeaking, footsteps, horses trotting over cobble stones, someone running through grass, etc. - at least, these were images my mind produced according to these sounds. After a second play of the Audiojack, we were asked to write down the story our imagination had sparked, and after the third, we had time to refine our stories. I had thought about a girl in 19th century France watching a guy running away from someone. Secretly, she followed him into a cave, where an unknown creature tried to harm the intruders; however, they got away.
“Is anyone willing to share their story?” David wanted to know. Several people raised their hands. All of the sharers’ stories differed, but some similar aspects could be found. The variety of people’s accounts is the exact point of an Audiojack, according to David. Designing the sound movies, he has his own stories in mind, but always keeps them completely secret, even from his parents. Thus, there is no right or wrong answer, people are eager to share, and surprised how their creativity just flows. This method has proven especially valuable for students and the blind community. They are not afraid anymore to share their thoughts, and happily engage in class. Before Audiojack had become popular, its creator wanted to make sure it would have a lasting impact, and not just be something fun. Inspired by his mother, a teacher, education has always been of utmost importance for David Tobin. Audiojack lesson plans for different markets and countries were developed, and thoroughly tested for years. When this was confirmed as a huge success, David brought his company to the large scale where it is today: The website www.audiojack.com has been translated into 30 languages, and is also usable for the blind. Audiojack lessons adhere to Common Core Standards and are used in k-12 education. Because the sound movies
have no language barrier, the whole world can access, use, and profit from them. Individuals, schools, and other organizations can subscribe to the program on the website. For the near future, David plans on launching a program with which people are able to create their own Audiojacks. It still stuns David that he created something that improves people’s quality of life, stimulates their creativity and develops their critical thinking skills. He goes to schools and education conferences to introduce Audiojack and the positive feedback he is getting is incredible: “A blind girl told me that through Audiojack she felt as if she was able to see for the first time,” he recalled. On another occasion, at the renowned Perkins School of the Blind in Massachusetts, an official told David that he had cracked the code for the blind; that they had been waiting for something like Audiojack. David described this moment as “sobering,” because it charged him with even more responsibility. These events make him work harder and are his drive to continue his mission to give back to people. Audiojack is more than just a job to David; it’s his passion. For more information, i.e. on how you, your school, or your organization can subscribe and profit from Audiojacks, contact Audiojack on www.audiojack.com.
Azusa Renaissance Theatre presents “To My Ninth Grade Self” August 15 “To My Ninth Grade Self” is the product of a year’s work that began with story circles in Azusa. It focuses on some of the issues that are affecting Azusans most. Since the non-profit merged with the Center for Diversity and Reconciliation (C.E.D.A.R) in 2010, AR's goal has been to cross lines of differences in the community through the arts. During the story circles, ART and Azusans discussed the importance of sharing one’s story. Helen Jaramillo, Azusa school board member and strong supporter of Azusa Renaissance Theater, believes that “by sharing our stories we allow personal connections
to take place and bring us together.” This is the theater’s second full-length production, and the first one that is completely original. According to ART’s Director, Mikael Taylor, “We are pleased to present this fun and heartwarming play with the hope that it will inspire discussion and stimulate everyone to seek out and participate in the arts.” The play tells the story of Alexa as she copes with the stresses of high school, home life, and what comes after graduation. It deals with the issues of education, gender identity, and the importance of telling one's story. The cast is com-
prised of both professional actors and new, local talent. ART’s team is very excited to showcase their hard work and commitment to the community. Opening night at 680 E. Alosta Ave., Unit 212, Azusa, is August 15th at 7:30pm, followed by performances at 3:00 and 7:30pm on the 16th; a performance on the 22nd at 7:30pm, followed by performances at 3:00 and 7:30pm on the 23rd. Tickets range from $8 to $12. For more information and tickets contact Mikael Taylor at azusatheater@ gmail.com or visit Azusa Renaissance’s website at azusatheater.com.

The Beatles in America: Then and fifty years later By Ivor Davis
Fifty years ago this week the Beatles bounded onto center stage at the Hollywood Bowl (Aug 23) for their first-ever Los Angeles performance and Southern California instantly succumbed. Not even a week into their North American invasion, the infectious fainting, frenzy, and fanaticism of Beatlemania that had incubated in Europe had already spread to L.A., the mecca of the recording industry. And rock and roll history was changed forever. I was at the Hollywood Bowl that magical evening. I was mid-twenties and at the beginning of both my journalistic career and my life’s journey. And from where I sit now I can tell you – fifty years form the arc of a life. Framed by joys and unflagging disappointments, fifty years will tell a life’s narrative. Who knew in 1964 what narratives the Fates would write? That an upstart band of Liverpool lads would hypnotize a generation and redefine not only rock ‘n’ roll but also popular culture?

That America would splinter from itself and emerge from its own revolutions of civil rights, women’s liberation and the Vietnam War as a nation not entirely recognizable? That John Lennon and George Harrison and Brian Epstein would not be with us reflecting those early years of the mid twentieth century. In 1964, as a foreign correspondent for the London Daily Express, I traveled with the Beatles on their first North American tour. I had unrestricted access to John, Paul, George and Ringo. I flew with them on their private jet, stayed in the block of hotel rooms booked for the entourage (usually an entire floor for security purposes), and crossed this great nation playing Monopoly and poker with the Beatles into the wee hours of the night. The tour began in San Francisco on August 18, and by the time it wrapped up thirty-four crazy days later in New York, “Beatlemania” had become part of the American vernacular. But the establishment hadn’t entirely bought in. L.A.’s Ambassador Hotel turned the Beatles down as guests, worried that the band would be more trouble than they were worth. So the boys rented in Bel Air. They reluctantly rubbed elbows with the Hollywood glitterati, but partied with a handful of celebs whom they really wanted to meet, including Burt Lancaster who entertained them at his home (Ringo was wowed by Burt’s indoor–outdoor
swimming pool). The Beatles were unpretentious and great company, and looking back I sometimes can’t believe it all happened. John Schlesinger the late British film director once told me, “The trouble with living in California is that you go to bed when you are twenty-five—and when you wake up the next day you’re seventy-five.” And he was right because it all flashed by so alarmingly fast. From my perspective today, I would be disingenuous if I told you that in 1964 I fully grasped the profundity of the history I was witnessing — indeed was living a part of. Back then the Beatles were just another pop group from England and communication was so much simpler: It was, after all, an era when John Lennon called people twits, and twitter was something only birds did. Their song lyrics were lollipop stuff — “puerile” — as one critic declared. They performed for less than half an hour — and then were gone. Not that you could hear much anyway over the din of non-stop shrieking. Even today — with half a century of context behind me — when I’m asked why the Beatles had such a massive impact I find no pat answers. From my front row seat during that summer of 1964, I watched a nation go absolutely bonkers to the same twelve-song set played at every concert. At the end of the tour, Ringo, who had matured markedly during
those thirty-four days, shone a beam of insight on the phenomenon when he observed that the fans didn’t come to hear the Beatles sing; they came simply to see the Beatles. It was more pilgrimage than cultural experience. Perhaps it is precisely because the early Beatles tunes had little substance beyond snappy melodies or catchy lyrics that there might be wisdom in the notion that the music was simply a joyous release. The first Beatles singles hit American airwaves in the dark weeks after President Kennedy’s assassination. They released their final album, “Let It Be,” in May 1970, four days after Kent State. In between was — to put it simply — the sixties. Apollo and Soyuz. Race riots. The Voting Rights Act. The Tet Offensive and My Lai. The promise and tragedy of Martin Luther King. Another Kennedy assassination. Who could blame us for lapping up all their loving and wanting to hold their hands? Looking back from this end of the arc, there are a few things I do know. The Beatles laid the anthemic soundtrack to the dreams and fears and changes that were afoot during that pivotal period. And we are still celebrating them half a century later.

On Friday, October 3, 2014, the Caltech Y will host its Seventh Annual Golf Tournament and Auction at Industry Hills Golf Club to fund its volunteer service, leadership and advocacy programs. With support from friends, community members and business leaders, this annual event helps raise needed funds for an organization that has served the Pasadena and Caltech communities for over 95 years. Students become responsible citizens through programs like Make-A-Difference Day, Alternative Spring Break, and the Rise tutoring program to help Pasadena area students in math and science. Help us continue these great traditions. We look forward to seeing you on October 3, 2014 at Industry Hills Golf Club. This event will bring together Friends, alumni, students, faculty and staff to support the programs of the Caltech Y and display their golf prowess. The Golf Tournament is on a Friday this year, so ask your boss if you can take the day off (or give your employees the day off) and come have some fun with the Caltech Y. It's for a great cause. FYI: October 3 is a JPL RDO (regular day-off).
Full Package with Golf, Auction and Dinner is $225. Includes Lunch, drinks on the course, Dinner, wine, Tournament gift (GOLF SHIRTS ARE BACK THIS YEAR Thanks to Hilton Pasadena,) and a sleeve of Caltech Y Golf Balls (sponsored by Caughey and Luczyski). Once again, we will have hors d' oeuvres at the happy hour and a free drink for everyone after their round of golf (19th Hole sponsored by Toni Perpall). Come join us for the Seventh Annual Caltech Y Golf Tournament and have a great time with the Friends of the Y. Dinner and Auction only is $70 for those of you who want to come but don't play golf. Golfers are encouraged to bring their partner or spouse to the Dinner/Auction starting at 5:00pm. Additionally, this year we will provide round trip transportation ($20) to Dinner/Auction guests. This is a great way for spouses to join their golfer for the Dinner, Auction and festivities. Please visit https:// www.caltechy.org/support/ golf/sponsor/ for online sponsor registration, online golf registration, and online dinner/auction registration.
The Feast at Baldwin Ranch II
The Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden is pleased to announce the second annual Feast at Baldwin Ranch. The event builds upon the success of last year’s Feast, which hosted over 140 guests. This year’s special dinner will take place on the Meadowbrook Lawn on Sunday, September 28th at 5pm and raises funds for the Arboretum’s youth education programs. Over 16,000 school children participate in the Arboretum’s Field Trips every year and more than 50% of them come from low-income, urban households. A team of five chefs, led by Claud Beltran of The Eatery in Pasadena, will prepare local and seasonal dishes. Beltran, who grew up just three blocks away from the Arboretum, recalls it as a place of adventure, “a jungle with a lake, lots of trees to get lost in, and a little Mexican type town and house…and miles to run and hide.”

He hopes today’s children will have the same opportunities to explore and benefit from the Arboretum. "Learning about food and sustainability and plants and how things grow is an important part of childhood,” Beltran says. “By uniting five local chefs for an evening of food and wine, we hope to raise funds to keep and enhance these programs for kids and cooking pro-
grams for adults alike. I hope it [becomes a continuous] effort with another of these dinners in the spring and then again in the summer and fall.” The chefs will include Sushi Chef Ota-San of Japon Bistro in Pasadena, Paul Ragan of AltaEats in Pasadena, Sean Lowenthal of the Little Beast in Los Angeles, and Britanny Turnquist of the Poppy Cake Baking Company. Steve Riboli, owner of the
San Antonio Winery, will offer wine pairings for each course.

The concierge pointed him in the direction of the special event for Jonathan Winters and both I and the other photographer grabbed out cameras, reloaded with triX film and ran back to the event. We were the only two photographers to get to meet Robin Williams that day, shake his hand and get some classic images of the two great comedians together. The next day, I got a ‘phone call from Jonathan Winters requesting copies of the photos of the two comedic giants I had shot

This newspaper and countless others did not report the graphic details of Mr. Williams’ suicide. Many outlets, however did so, over and over again. Reality, what a concept indeed?

America in Bloom and CN announce partnership on community greening projects
CN and America in Bloom today announced their new partnership and the launch of a new sustainability program in the United States supporting community greening projects along the CN rail corridor. The CN EcoConnextions From the Ground Up program in the United States aims to create sustainable community greening and beautification projects that will contribute to a community’s environmental, economic, social and health benefits. From the Ground Up also provides opportunities for CN and the communities along its network to work together towards shared goals of environmental stewardship. “CN is proud to bring this innovative program to promote tree planting in communities along the CN network to the United States,” said Claude Mongeau, CN president and Chief Executive Officer. “We have been amazed by the From the Ground Up
projects we’ve seen across Canada and look forward to extending that record of success to cities and villages across the U.S.” Marvin Miller, America in Bloom’s immediate past president and program coordinator, added, “We are very excited to be working with CN on this grant program, helping to bring more greening to American communities. From our experience with more than 200 towns across America, we know that quality landscaping is a necessity rather than a luxury, and that green spaces and plants create places that people are proud to call home.” This year, CN will be opening the program to the United States with a limited scale launch to assess community interest along the rail corridors. Selected municipalities, townships, other local governments and locally active non-profit groups in communities neighbor-
ing CN rail lines in the US are being invited to apply. CN's EcoConnexions From the Ground Up program will provide grants of up to $25,000 to communities amongst that group based on their project’s ability to match CN's grant, level of community engagement and the long term sustainability of the plantings. About CN CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) is a true backbone of the economy, transporting approximately C$250 billion worth of goods annually for a wide range of business sectors, ranging from resource products to manufactured products to consumer goods, across a rail network spanning Canada and mid-America. CN – Canadian National Railway Company, along with its operating railway subsidiaries -- serves the cities and ports of Vancouver, Prince Rupert, B.C., Montreal, Halifax, New
Orleans, and Mobile, Ala., and the metropolitan areas of Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary, Chicago, Memphis, Detroit, Duluth, Minn./Superior, Wis., and Jackson, Miss., with connections to all points in North America. About America in Bloom America in Bloom envisions communities across the country as welcoming and vibrant places to live, work, and play - benefitting from colorful plants and trees; enjoying clean environments; celebrating heritage; and planting pride through volunteerism. America in Bloom promotes nationwide beautification through education and community involvement by encouraging the use of flowers, plants, trees, and other environmental and lifestyle enhancements.

Eagle Rock remains a hot ‘hood' By Redfin agent Josh Ritnimit Back in January, the national real estate brokerage, Redfin, conducted a study to predict which neighborhoods would have the most housing demand in the U.S. in 2014. Our very own Eagle Rock came in number 2! Now, this was seven months ago, so I thought it would be interesting to check in with the Eagle Rock data and see if it was hot or not. In the six months since Eagle Rock was declared an up-andcoming neighborhood: • the median sale price increased 25% while the year-over-year increase for all of Los Angeles was a mere 5.6%; • 63% of homes sold for above list price; and • days on market fell from an already low 14 to an even lower 12. There are many reasons why Eagle Rock continues to outpace the rest of Los Angeles in terms of demand, not the least of which is its affordability. The median price in
Eagle Rock as of June 2014 was $685,000. The median price in Arcadia, on the other hand, was $1.1 million. But as the old real estate cliché goes, it’s all about location, location, location. Eagle Rock is in the middle of it all: Downtown, Burbank and the San Gabriel Valley. Time and again I hear folks want to live in Eagle Rock because of its proximity to the schools, culture, entertainment and cuisine of the San Gabriel Valley. The prestige of living in the Pasadena area is traveling down the Colorado Boulevard corridor and trickling into Eagle Rock. This can only be perceived as a positive for our communities as property values rise and the San Gabriel Valley stands as an example for communities to aspire to. So, while Eagle Rock isn’t exactly in the San Gabriel Valley, it is definitely part of the Colorado Boulevard cohort!

HUD and VA announce an additional $2.8M in vouchers to help homeless veterans in California find permanent homes
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today announced $2.8 million to six housing authorities in California to help nearly 292 homeless Veterans find permanent housing. The supportive housing assistance announced today is provided through the HUDVeterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program which combines rental assistance from HUD with case management and clinical services provided by VA (see list below for details). Later this year, HUD anticipates awarding approximately 10,000 new HUD-VASH vouchers to build upon significant progress toward ending Veteran homelessness. Since 2008, more than 59,000 vouchers have been awarded and 43,371 formerly homeless Veterans are currently in homes of their own because of HUD-VASH. Rental assistance and support services provided through HUD-
VASH are a critical resource for local communities in ending homelessness among our nation’s Veterans. “We have made great progress, reducing homelessness among Veterans by 24 percent in just three years,” said HUD Secretary Julián Castro. “These vouchers will help communities build on these gains, providing targeted assistance to reach those in need. Ending homelessness is a top priority for me, and HUD looks forward to working with the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure that every Veteran has a place to call home in the country they risked everything to protect.” “Providing permanent supportive housing to our homeless veterans is an absolute priority for HUD,” said HUD Regional Administrator Ophelia Basgal. “We are committed to the Obama Administration’s goal of ending chronic veteran homelessness by the end of 2015.

Ford to continue 50 years of Mustang celebration at renowned Monterey Collector Car Week Ford Motor Company will continue to celebrate 50 years of Mustang at the historic Monterey Collector Car Week Aug. 11-17, 2014, in Monterey, California. This year promises to be special for fans of the original pony car, as several rare Mustangs will be on display, including the 1962 Mustang I Concept from the Henry Ford Museum. The all-new 2015 Mustang fastback and convertible will also be on hand throughout the weeklong festivities. “Monterey Motorsports Reunion has become one of the most legendary vintage car races in the world,” said Steve Ling, Ford car marketing manager. “It is the perfect venue to continue celebrating 50 years of Ford Mustang and its racing heritage. Mustang embodies the speed and style enthusiasts have come to love about Monterey Collector Car Week.” Mustang was born to race, and has been part of motorsports history since production began 50 years ago. A little more than a month after its April 17, 1964 introduction, Mustang was on the track serving as pace car for the 1964 Indianapolis 500. Just a few months later, the car scored its first win in competition, finishing first and second in class at the 1964 Tour de France. Mustang’s impact goes well beyond the 9 millionplus cars sold in its half a century of continuous production. Mustang has made thousands of appearances in film, television, music and video games, and it’s the

world’s most-liked vehicle on Facebook. For the first time, Ford will bring Mustang to customers in key parts of Europe and Asia. The 2015 Ford Mustang offers three great engines including a standard 300-horsepower V6, a brandnew 310-horsepower EcoBoost® and an upgraded 435-horsepower V8. Each powerplant is available with either a manual or automatic transmission that makes the pony car a great all-around performer. With a revised front suspension and a new fully independent rear suspension, the sixth-generation Mustang is expected to be the nimblest and most comfortable example of the breed to date. Ford will support the efforts of California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation by securing one of only 1,964 50 Year Limited Edition Mustang models to be built and will donate the car to the Charity for a drawing. Proceeds from the drawing will benefit California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation Charity, which pro-

vides emergency benefits to4C California Highway PatrolJG employees and their family members in times of crisis. After 32 years of service, the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation has provided more than $25 million to support California Highway Patrol employees and eligible family members.

TrueCar corrects media reports misstating failure to meet EPS estimates TrueCar, the negotiation free car buying and selling platform, is correcting erroneous media reports misstating that the Company failed to meet analyst consensus EPS estimates following its second quarter earnings release on Thursday, August 7, 2014. Moreover, TrueCar provided third quarter and full year 2014 guidance above analyst consensus estimates. Specifically, for the
second quarter of 2014, TrueCar reported: -- GAAP earnings per diluted share loss of ($0.22), in-line with analyst consensus estimates of ($0.22). -- Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share loss of ($0.02), exceeding analyst consensus estimates of ($0.03). The company is providing the comparable figures above in response to erroneous reports issued by the financial press on
Thursday, August 7th and Friday, August 8th, 2014 that incorrectly compared TrueCar's GAAP earnings per share loss to analyst consensus non-GAAP earnings per share loss. As a result, the financial press reported the company missed earnings expectations by a wide-margin, when in fact, the company met or exceeded analyst estimates across virtually every financial and operating metric.

Back-to-school spending can take its toll on the family budget, with parents paying considerable cash for clothes, backpacks and other musthaves. The National Retail Foundation expects consumers to spend about $74.9 billion this year to send their children and college students back to school, up 12 percent since 2013. “Back-to-school spending is second only to the holidays, and the outlay is higher and higher each year,” said Mike Sullivan, director of education for Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling and debt management agency. “Retailers push hard in the summer months, and school budget cuts have shifted the cost of supplies to families, but savvy parents can save money without skimping on necessities.” Sullivan offers eight tips for cutting costs on back-toschool shopping: -Take stock: Supply lists
often call for scissors, rulers, pencils and other items people already have at home. Parents can save money by taking stock of what they have before buying new supplies. -Stick to the list: Teachers’ supply lists have become more extensive – and expensive – so parents are wise to stick to the list and avoid impulse purchases. -Comparison shop: Dollar stores, big-box retailers and office supply stores offer deep discounts on many school essentials. Parents can save money by seeking out the best prices and stocking up on items children use throughout the year. -Clip coupons: Many websites publish coupons on back-to-school clothing and supplies. Parents also can find their children’s favorite brands on Facebook and Twitter for special coupons available only to followers. -Wait to buy: Just like holiday shopping, retailers
often discount prices after the rush. Parents can purchase some items after Labor Day to reap savings. -Shop or swap secondhand: Clothing swaps are a popular choice to exchange gently used clothing. Additionally, second-hand retail shops, Craigslist and eBay are good options for finding trendy and brand-name gear at a fraction of the cost. -Shop tax-free: Many states offer tax-free shopping days during back-to-school seasons. Find out if your state is participating, and buy your big-ticket items then. -Include kids in the process: Many parents give their kids a budget for clothing and necessities. Kids who have to choose between blowing the budget on pricey items or stretching their dollars with sensible purchases will learn a powerful lesson about the value of money.

5 Ways to change how teachers function in K-12 classrooms Less than half of high school graduates who took the SAT in 2013 were prepared for college, continuing a five-year trend. Less than half – 44 percent -- who took the ACT had the reading skills necessary for college. That’s down from 53 percent in 2009. And nearly a third failed to meet standards in four areas: reading, English, science and math. The failures have persisted despite years of new tests, new curricula and new demands on teachers, notes educational researcher and consultant Charles M. Reigeluth, author of “Reinventing Schools: It’s Time to Break the Mold,” (www. reigeluth.net). “We continue to approach the same problems with the same sorts of solutions, despite the fact that they’re not working,” he says. “Instead, we need a fundamental shift in how we educate our children. Our public school system was designed to meet the needs of a long-ago era – the Industrial Age. It’s not working because we’re now in the Information Age.” Teachers unfairly shoulder much of the blame for the lack of progress, he notes, but they’re hamstrung by roles and rules that don’t work for 21st century students. “We need to change from teacher-centered education to learner-centered. In the Industrial Age paradigm, teachers are a judge and a perceived threat. In the Information Age, they should be
guides and coaches who help students overcome obstacles,” says Reigeluth. His multidimensional approach includes reducing bureaucracy in schools; encouraging students to teach each other with teacher supervision; having interns and other paraprofessionals, including retiree volunteers, assist with guiding student learning; and creating an “educational cooperative,” where a community’s adults can earn access to learning resources, advancing their own education, in exchange for helping students learn. “The new paradigm can significantly reduce the cost of education while increasing the quality,” says Reigeluth, who outlines the five new roles teachers would have in this redesigned system. • Mentor…the same 20 to 30 students for several years, addressing all aspects of student development. Students and teachers would develop the deeper relationships that foster real caring on both sides. Mentors would help students prepare a personal learning plan for each project period, six to 12 weeks, including helping each student and his parents choose appropriate instructional goals, subject to standards set by the community, state and nation. Mentors would also help identify and support the best means for each student to achieve those goals. • Designer…of student work options, mostly projects or tasks, to engage students in the learning process. Open educational resources devel-
oped by teachers throughout the country and available to all educators for free via the Internet can alleviate much of the burden of the designer role. • Facilitator…of the learning process, which entails monitoring student progress, enhancing student motivation and coaching student performance. • Learner…the teacher is always learning with the students, about students, from and for the students. The teacher does not have all the answers, but the teacher helps students find answers. And the teacher is always learning more about how best to meet students’ needs. The new paradigm provides sufficient support for teacher learning. • Owner and manager… of the school. Like lawyers and accountants in a small firm, teachers would be partners who own their public school and make decisions about its operations, including budgeting and staffing. This model is already a success at the Minnesota New Country School and other EdVisions schools. This role elevates teachers to that of true professionals, rather than workers controlled by an all-powerful bureaucracy. “These new roles offer empowerment to those who are most affected by our system, the student and the teacher, the latter of whom I suggest calling ‘guides’ to better reflect their new roles,” Reigeluth says. “The new roles better serve students in the age in which we live.”
St. Andrews top in UK for teaching and academic quality The University of St Andrews is one of the top three universities in the United Kingdom for teaching and the quality of the academic experience it offers students, according to the results of the National Student Survey published today (Tuesday 12 August 2014). St Andrews is the leading multi-faculty university in Scotland and joint top in the United Kingdom in the 2014 NSS. It is the ninth year in succession that St Andrews has performed strongly in the annual measure of how satisfied students are with the quality of their higher education experience. St Andrews is up one place on last year’s survey and shares first place with the University of Bath and the University of Keele. With 93% of students studying at St Andrews declaring themselves satisfied or very satisfied with the overall quality of their university education, the Fife institution is ahead of Cambridge and Oxford (joint 6th). The University
of Glasgow (also joint 6th) is the only other Scottish university in the UK top ten. Five St Andrews subjects – Computer Science, Geography, Biology, Anthropology and Divinity – achieved satisfaction levels of 100%. The survey compilers canvassed the opinions of around 265,000 final-year students at Higher Education Institutions across the UK. Students were asked to respond to over twenty questions on topics such as teaching, personal development, assessment and feedback, learning resources and the management of their University. St Andrews students gave the University high marks for course teaching, the organisation and management of their university and academic support. St Andrews Vice-Principal and Proctor, Professor Lorna Milne, said: "If St Andrews students are among the most satisfied in the country, it’s really down to two things: our superb staff, who work very hard to provide the best education they pos-
sibly can; and the students themselves, who clearly appreciate being challenged to achieve excellent results. I’m delighted that they have rated their University so highly once again.” Pat Mathewson, President of the St Andrews Students’ Association, said: “These results stand as an ongoing testament to the sense of community we share here in St Andrews, and the extraordinary dedication of countless individuals towards enhancing the student experience. It is these tireless efforts that make us much more than an ancient seat of leaning, but a home for our students.” The NSS 2013 also rated individual subjects at universities for student satisfaction. St Andrews was number one in the UK for Biology, Computer Science, Anthropology, Human and Social Geography, African and Middle Eastern studies and Divinity. Medicine, Physics, Maths, International Relations, Management, French and History at St Andrews were all placed in the top 10.
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.

POLICE BLOTTERS
Arcadia PD
Sunday, August 3: Just after 7:30 a.m., an officer was dispatched to a residence in the 800 block of Fairview Avenue regarding a fight in progress between a male subject and his girlfriend. While driving his vehicle in an attempt to flee the scene, the male subject accelerated as the girlfriend was partially inside the rear passenger compartment, causing her to fall to the ground. Arcadia Fire responded to the scene and provided treatment to the victim who refused medical transportation. The 18-yearold White male was arrested for Battery and Assault with a Deadly Weapon. He was transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking. At approximately 8:59 p.m., an officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the area of Huntington Drive and Santa Clara Street for expired registration. The officer discovered the 36-year-old Hispanic female driver was never issued a license. She was cited and released in the field without incident. Her vehicle was impounded for 30 days. Monday, August 4: At about 3:10 a.m., an officer made contact with a subject sleeping inside a bush in the parking lot of Outback Steakhouse, 166 East Huntington Drive.

Irwindale officials’ embezzlement arraignment postponed Three current and former city officials in the city of Irwindale had their arraignment postponed on Friday, according to a published report. The three – Mayor Mark Breceda, City Councilman Manuel Garcia and former City Councilwoman Rosemary Ramirez – have been accused of public corruption. Their arraignment was scheduled to be held at Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in downtown Los Angeles. And nearly a year has passed since the charges were re-filed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Colby Fire suspects sent to prison
Continued from page 1
term of supervised release, and Steven Robert Aguirre, 21, of Baldwin Park, received a prison term of 5 months, plus a three-year term of supervised release, from United States District Judge George H. Wu. Clifford Henry and Steven Aguirre were tried together in May and each was found guilty of four charges (one felony and three misdemeanors) related to the fire. At this hearing, the government agreed to dismiss one of the misdemeanor charges. One other defendant in the case, Jonathan Carl Jarrell, was also found guilty of a felony offense of unlawfully setting timber afire and a misdemeanor offense of illegally starting a fire. Jarrell is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Wu later this month. The Colby Fire started on the morning of January 16. By that evening, the fire had consumed more than 1,700 acres of federal, state, local and private lands. The fire destroyed six residences, damaged eight other
residences and 17 additional structures, and resulted in injuries to one civilian and two firefighters. Prosecutors argued that the damages and costs associated with firefighting efforts were in excess of $6,000,000. Henry and Aguirre were detained by Glendora Police Officers after they were seen fleeing from area of the fire in a flood control channel. During interviews with Glendora Police and personnel with the Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Arson Investigations Unit – interviews that the jury heard during the trial – both defendants admitted playing a role in the starting the illegal campfire that led to the Colby Fire after wind blew burning paper into the brush in the hills above Glendora. Strong Santa Ana winds drove the fire into the residential communities below the hills. A United States Forest Service fire investigator determined that the origin of the Colby Fire was at a point near a fire ring built by the three men at a location
on federal lands within the Angeles National Forest. “The devastation directly caused by defendants' conduct points to the incredible seriousness of their offense,” prosecutors wrote in a brief filed in relation to the sentencing. “But the fact that it could have been worse underscores that degree of seriousness. But for the quick thinking and courageous reactions of the Glendora and Azusa Police Departments to evacuate the residents in harm’s way; but for the heroic actions of individual fire fighters, helicopter pilots and aircraft tanker pilots in battling the blaze; but for the winds dying down and the humidity increasing…this could have been so much worse.” The investigation in this case was conducted by the United States Forest Service, the Glendora Police Department, the Azusa Police Department, the Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Arson/Fire Investigation Unit, and CAL FIRE.

Detectives arrest man for abandoning Embattled PCC President Mark Rocha six-year-old son in South El Monte Park to leave at end of August LASD Parks Bureau deputies responded to Legg Lake, located in the Whittier Narrows Regional Park, 750 South Santa Anita Avenue, South El Monte last Monday, regarding a found child. On Thursday detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Departments (LASD) Parks Bureau arrested Juan Garcia for Child Endangerment. Suspect Garcia is a male Hispanic, 31 years of age, and a resident of Pomona. The deputies contacted a person who found a six year old boy crying and looking for his father. They
attempted to locate the father with the limited information that the young child provided. The child, who was cold and hungry, was placed in the deputy’s patrol car and fed while the Parks Bureau personnel continued to search. A vehicle believed to be driven by suspect Garcia was located nearby with a flat tire. The suspect was nowhere to be found. The child was placed into protective custody at 1:00 a.m. after all attempts to locate the father had been exhausted. The child’s mother was later located and
took custody of her son. Suspect Garcia was located and arrested. He was booked at San Dimas Sheriff's Station where he is being held in lieu of $100,000.00 bail. He will appear in court on Monday, August 11, 2014. Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Parks Bureau Deputy Johnie Jones at (323) 376-7621.

After years of controversial conduct at PCC Pres. Rocha applied for positions elsewhere but decided it was time to leave PCC. -Photo by Terry Miller
The Board of Trustees of the Pasadena Area Community College District has announced today that Dr. Mark Rocha, Superintendent-President of the District and Pasadena City College will retire from his position effective August 31, 2014. Dr. Anthony R. Fellow, President of the PACCD Board of Trustees, said “I speak for the Board in saying that we accept Dr. Rocha’s decision to retire with profound gratitude for his leadership over the past four years. Dr. Rocha brought the college safely through one of the worst budget cuts in California history. We well understand and fully respect his decision to turn the reins over to the great administrative team he has assembled.” For his part, Dr. Rocha said his decision was a personal one. “I’ve started
my tenth year as a community college president and that is a good long run in this kind of work. It’s time for me to spend more time with my family and return to my passion for teaching and writing.” Dr. Mark Rocha was appointed as the thirteenth president of Pasadena City College on July 1, 2010. Under his leadership the college’s accreditation was reaffirmed and an educational master plan was approved through shared governance that resulted in the First Year Experience Pathways Program that won for the college the Chancellor’s Award for Student Success in 2012. Dr. Rocha also successfully completed the Measure P bond construction program plan with the opening of the Center for the Arts and he led the transition to a new collegewide technology system and improved web-based
services for students. “Together, we accomplished a great deal,” noted Dr. Rocha, “but for me the most important changes are the smaller ones that make a difference in the everyday lives of people. “I am very grateful to the Board of Trustees whose support has been essential to our many accomplishments over the past four years,” Dr. Rocha continued. “It has been a great privilege to serve the college and an honor to serve with my colleagues. The members of the Board are seven of the most decent and well-meaning public servants I have ever met. I wish all of the good people of PCC nothing but my heartiest best wishes and great success for the future.” The Board of Trustees will be meeting soon to decide on the appointment of an interim president.

San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District announces neighborhood pesticide treatment
San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District Announces Neighborhood Pesticide Treatment Scheduled in San Gabriel Valley to Control Invasive Mosquito In an ongoing effort to control the infestation of Asian tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus) in the San Gabriel Valley, the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District (SGVMVCD) will conduct two truck-mounted mosquito control treatments in the early morning hours of Thursday August 14, 2014. The application will target immature mosquitoes. The Asian tiger mosquito is a primary vector of chikungunya - a painful disease spreading rapidly throughout the Caribbean and as of August 5, with over 500 travel-associated cases and four locally transmitted cases which have been reported in the U.S. The first of the two
treatments will cover an area of El Monte north of (and including) Lower Azusa Rd, east of (and including) Buffington Rd, south of (and including) Clark St, and west of (and including) Durfee Ave. The second treatment will cover an area of Duarte north of (and including) E Duarte Rd, east of (and including) Bradbury Ave, south of (and including) Evergreen St, and west of (and including) Buena Vista St. The District will conduct the treatment during the early morning hours of Thursday August 14, 2014 between 12:00 a.m. (midnight) and approximately 5:00 a.m., to avoid traffic and outdoor pedestrian activity. Alternate arrangements may be made if weather conditions are not favorable to an effective treatment. The alternate date, if needed, would be Friday August 15, 2014. The District will apply VectoBac®WDG
by truck-mounted fogger as a low volume mist. The active ingredient in VectoBac®WDG is Bacillus thuringiensis isaelensis (Bti.) This pesticide is a target specific, bio rational larvicide with minimal risk to humans and wildlife. As a general precaution, residents in the immediate area should stay indoors with windows closed during the treatment. Additional information about this product can be found at: http://publichealth. valentbiosciences.com/ docs/resources/vectobacwdg-specimen-label.pdf. The San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District is committed to eradicating this dangerous, invasive mosquito from Los Angeles County. Applying pesticides by truck is one more tool vector control districts can use to target this mosquito before it has a chance to reproduce and spread.

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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20120028701579.

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 (916) 939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 13-0616-11.

Arcadia wine seller Continued from page 1
Domaine Ponsot from vintages long prior to any recorded production of Ponsot wines from that vineyard; the auction lots were withdrawn prior to bidding. On the morning of March 8, 2012, the FBI arrested Kurniawan at his home in Arcadia. When agents searched his house, they found inexpensive Napa wines with notes indicating they would be passed off as older vintages of Bordeaux, corks, stamps, labels, and other tools involved in counterfeiting wine. He was indicted on several counts of mail fraud and wire fraud in New York on March 9. Later investigations indicated that Kurniawan was purchasing inexpensive, though old, Burgundy wines and re-labeling them with prestigious producer names
and vintages. Kurniawan's indictment was updated on April 8, 2013, consolidating the fraud charges, and adding two new charges—one for selling a faked jeroboam of Château Mouton-Rothschild 1945 in 2006 for $48,259 ($56.5 thousand in 2014 dollars), and one for selling six bottles of Domaine Georges Roumier Bonnes Mares 1923 at a 2006 auction for $95,000 ($111 thousand in 2014 dollars). Domaine Georges Roumier did not produce wine prior to 1924, according to lead prosecutor Jason Hernandez, ergo the 1923 bottles must be fakes. Kurniawan's trial began on December 9, 2013, and concluded on December 18, 2013, when the jury found him guilty and sentenced him to 10 years imprisonment.
Richey has for the City Manager, Elaine Aguilar. Richey says that he and other residents in town are noticing holes in their pipes and suffering some serious leaks as a result. Richey is also questioning the actual amount of water Sierra Madre actually has. And why is Arcadia so different? Mr. Richet told Beacon Media that: “Denise, Rachelle, and Harabedian were given Elaine’s response and agreed to support me. No one had the backbone to say a word (at council meeting Tuersday).” In point of fact, Richey has filed many public records requests with the city and hasn’t exactly been pleased with the response from the hallowed halls of Sierra Madre city. In fact this is how our friend, John Crawford over at The Tattler, put it this morning on his blog: “Speaking of Arcadia, the topic of why they still have plenty of that fine mountain water in their wells while we, who used to get our stuff from the very same source, have very little, did arise. Bruce Inman, called upon to reply, brought up his bedrock theory again, something that has been met with skepticism in certain quarters of this community.
STYLE MEETS FUNCTIONALITY
To celebrate Women’s Equality Day and the day women received the right to vote, Pasadena Central Library will hold a special screening of Filmmaker/ Director Jennifer Lee’s “Feminist: Stories from Women’s Liberation” on Tuesday, August 26 at 7 p.m. in Central Library’s Donald R. Wright Auditorium, 285 E. Walnut St. followed by a question and answer session led by filmmaker Lee. “Feminist: Stories from Women's Liberation” is a one hour film about the women's liberation movement covering the years 1963-1970. The film
surprised to hear that Sierra Madre and Arcadia have different water tables.'" The Tattler also added this: “Earl Richey rose to speak about his Public Records Requests and the belief that they have not been honored to the full spirit of the law by City

Hall. While I have to admit that Earl has an unfortunate tendency for going off halfcocked at times, I too have had a similar experience with these kinds of City Hall records requests. Elaine Aguilar replied to Mayor Harabedian's questions about Earl's accusations by stating he was given the option of coming down to City Hall and picking up copies (at .06 cents a pop) of the applicable documents. Sounds
there you will be shown into a room largely filled with boxes of documents, the vast majority of which having nothing to do with your request. Or perhaps even all of them. Who can tell? Faced with the burden of spending 8 hours at City Hall searching through a lot of inconsequential stuff for something that might not have even been made available to you, most would just pack it in and give up. Earl should just bite the bullet and hire a lawyer. Nobody deserves to be treated like this.” Richey’s request for Public Records is on-going and an email request for comment from city hall by this newspaper has not been received as of press time. John Crawford’s always-entertaining and very often highly amusing take on council meetings also took a nice dig at a developer (Todd Bowden… presumably of the Bowden Development Co.) who would like to develop despite the moratorium recently issued. Here’s what The Tattler said: “The comedic highlight of the evening came courtesy of a developer by the name of Todd Bowden. Like many who are attempting to make some major bank in real

estate-insane Sierra Madre, he wishes to take a single lot and magically double his pleasure by splitting it into two. Kind of like an amoeba. Much to his chagrin, Mr. Bowden has lately discovered that he will not be able to get a water hook up for one of his reproductive plots. Or maybe both. I can't exactly remember those details at this moment. But where Todd really rocked the planet was with his claim that by pulling down old homes and replacing each with a couple of new ones, it would actually save water. Kind of a version of the old 'development is green' canard…” And so it goes, in Sierra Madre. Get the BEST PRIC E and SELE on afforda CTION b and fun so le, stylish luti Back-to-S ons for chool!
