Humble Hall of Fame Jockey Laffit Pincay, Jr. saddled up to the stage Saturday night for his induction into the Thoroughbred Racing Walk of Champions in Arcadia.

Pincay, Jr., one of many sportsmen and women who have been immortalized in bronze on the sidewalks of Arcadia, thanked the committee and said he was thrilled to be part of this ongoing history project.

The walk, with bronze markers like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, celebrates the many horses, owners, trainers and jockeys who have made thoroughbred racing history. Instead of stars, these honorees have horseshoes in the walk, which, of course, is universal for good luck.

Chu and Napolitano launch annual domestic violence awareness campaign Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-27) joined Congresswoman Grace Napolitano (CA-32), Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park, and other local businesses and women’s rights organizations to kick off the 11th Annual Domestic Violence Collection Drive.

Started in 2003, the drive collects clothing and supplies for women and children who are victims of domestic violence, and takes place every year during October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Reps.

Chu and Napolitano released the following statements: “Every year, more than 10 million calls are made to domestic violence hotlines by women and men across the country. Crimes of Domestic violence take place in every community, to people of all ethnicities and backgrounds,” said Rep. Chu. “When a victim finally makes the courageous choice to leave their abuser, they and their children are often forced to literally leave

their home with nothing.

They deserve better, which is why I am so proud to once again be hosting this drive with wonderful partners throughout the area, who are helping us collect the items needed to assist the victims and begin to rebuild their lives.”

“We are excited to again team up with Congresswoman Chu, Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park, and our other local heroes in the movement to fight domestic violence,” said Rep. Napolitano. “Our district office in El Monte will also be taking in items for victims of domestic abuse throughout the month of October, so we encourage everyone from the community to participate.

The physical wounds from domestic abuse are painful and often evident, but we must also understand the devastating toll that abuse can take on the mental health of victims. We must eliminate mental health stigma so those suffering know it is

always okay to seek help. If you or someone you know needs help, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255).”

From October 1 to November 1, members of the community are encouraged to drop off gently used clothing for women and children, toiletries, household cleaning products, and children’s school supplies.

Donations can be dropped off at Congresswoman Chu’s Pasadena and Claremont offices, Alhambra City Hall, Altadena Community Center, Joslyn Adult Recreation Center, Monrovia Community Center, Monterey Park City Hall, Rosemead City Hall, San Marino City Hall, Sierra Madre Recreation Center, and South Pasadena City Hall.

The donations will go to area shelters: Elizabeth House, Foothill Family Service, Grace Services, Project Sister Family Services, and JFS Haven House.

Dorothy's Place Is there a God?

By Dorothy Denne Is there a God? I have no definite proof, but certainly a lot of evidence. A case in point: Some weeks ago I noticed my three cats sitting staring out the front door, bodies very still, tails sliding back and forth.

I checked to see the object of interest. There, on a low branch, sat a pair of Mourning Doves. I pulled up a chair. Now three cats and an old woman sat in the doorway.

The beautiful Doves sat side-by-side, pressed close together. They sat ever so still, only turning their heads to touch beaks. So tender.

A couple of days later

I noticed an array of twigs on the floor of my carport. I looked up to discover a nest in the rafters. Therein sat one of the beautiful Doves.

Just outside on the electrical wires sat the other with his eyes on me.

For the next two weeks, no matter the time of day or night I entered the carport, there sat Mommy on the nest. Daddy was always around somewhere keeping a watchful eye. The closer I got, the closer he came.

About day 16 or 17 I looked up and saw a tiny, featherless wing sticking out from beneath Mommy.

Over the days that followed I would occasionally find Mommy missing from the nest. One day when she was gone, I saw two little bald heads with eyes closed. Shortly, they were

two fuzzy heads with eyes looking down at me.

They have now flown the nest. I missed the first take-off but managed after to catch a few short flights from fence post to grass and back again.

Yesterday I saw two Doves alight on that same lower branch. A Bluejay a couple of branches higher was not at all happy with their presence. What a cacophony of sound arose, followed by much swooping and chasing. I'm not sure who was chasing whom.

I haven't seen the Doves since, but a Jay now and then flits in and disappears into a cluster of leaves.

Is there a God? I don't know, but there are three cats and an old woman sitting in my doorway watching for the next miracle of nature to add evidence.

Racist Confederate Flag is history, Gov. says

Because the Confederate states, which favored slavery, promoted the Confederate flag during the Civil War, it is to many a sign of racism rather than Southern pride. When the mother of State Assemblyman Isador Hall, D-Compton, spotted imitation Confederate money featuring the Confederate flag at the Capitol gift shop in Sacramento, her son decided to introduce bill AB 2444, with which he wants to “fend off the ugly hatred of racism.” The legislation, which prohibits “state agencies from selling or displaying items bearing the Confederate flag,” according to Al Jazeera, was signed into law last Thursday by Governor Jerry Brown. For Hall and others, the flag symbolizes racism, hatred, and is

meant to intimidate.

In August, the California State Assembly supported the law 66-1 proving to Hall that legislators were “standing together united to fend off the ugly hatred of racism that's been portrayed and demonstrated through the emblem of the Confederacy."

Republican Tim Donnelly told the Los Angeles Times that because he is a “strict Constitutionalist,” he sees the law interfering with the right to free speech.

Al Jazeera reported that “other lawmakers argued that the legislation does not violate free-speech rights because it only applies to formal actions of government officials and agencies. Moreover, the law allows for the flag to be used for historical or edu-

cational purposes and does not apply to people on state property.”

John McWorther of the Daily Beast believes that there are more important steps to take against racism than banning the Confederate flag, for example, addressing the issue of police brutality against AfricanAmericans: “When we talk about ’fending off’ racism, we need to fend off the kind of thing that happened to people like Michael Brown, John Crawford, Eric Garner, and Ezell Ford all within the past month’s time. Make an America where this sort of thing isn’t routine, and maybe then we can get to worrying our heads over flags.

And yet, even then, I highly suspect most of us wouldn’t really even feel the need to bother.”

Inaugural Diversity Health Care Career Expo at City of Hope

By SHEL SEGAL More than 1,000 people stopped by City of Hope recently for the medical center’s first-ever Diversity Health Care Career Expo, according to a published report.

The expo was meant to shed light on the growing needs in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math, especially at several health care organizations across Southern California, and other positions in the healthcare industry, the report said.

Ann Miller, senior director of talent acquisition at City of Hope, said the expo had three purposes: to help those who are working in or want to work in healthcare, to help students who might want to study healthcare and to help parents on how to support their child.

The event welcomed several healthcare groups showcasing opportunities, internships and training offered including USC Keck

Norris, Children’s Hospital LA/OC, Kaiser Baldwin Park, Long Beach Memorial, Cedars Sinai Health Systems and Huntington Hospital, among others. Specialty associations, diversity resource groups and college and university recruiters were also on hand, Miller said.

She added what made this fair unique was that organizers of the expo were looking to tap into students and professionals in the nearby Latino and Asian communities.

The expo featured informational sessions from leading industry experts, opportunities to discuss current openings and internships with recruiters and hiring managers from a variety of healthcare organizations, meetings with representatives from academic institutions and special interest groups, and career advice and resume feedback, the report said.

Miller added as

healthcare continues to change, more informational technology jobs will be available, as well as jobs for people who work in labs.

Miller said organizers of the event were extremely pleased with how the first one turned out. She added as there are no plans to make this an annual event, they might work with others on future expos.

Bill Maury-Holmes, career services manager at the University of Redlands, attended the expo in an effort to offer prospective undergraduate students, their parents and adult professionals information and resources on what the university has to offer.

Maury-Holmes added many students receive their undergraduate degrees in the healthcare field from Redlands before moving on to graduate school.

Check your smoke detectors Fire prevention week, October 5-11

It's time for Fire Prevention Week 2014! The Arcadia Fire Department is joining forces with the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to remind local residents about this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!”

Along with firefighters and safety advocates nationwide, the Arcadia Fire Department is joining forces with the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to re-

mind local residents about the importance of having working smoke alarms in the home and testing them monthly.

According to the latest NFPA research, working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half. Meanwhile, almost twothirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign includes the following smoke alarm messages:

• Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.

• Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. This way, when one sounds, they all sound.

• Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.

• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they don’t respond properly.

• Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands what to do when they hear it.

During the month of October, the Arcadia Fire Department will be spreading the word and providing information on the necessity of having working smoke alarms. For further information, contact the Fire Prevention Bureau at (626) 574-5104 and check out the City’s website, www.ArcadiaCA.gov, for updates.

What is new?

The Sierra Madre City Council returned from their August recess and held a meeting that lasted for approximately five hours. It goes without saying that the focus of the meeting was on spending without any mention of physical repairs to the physical property.

The Administrator was quick to hire an outside firm to do the work of the Finance Director.

They also rejected the contract proposal of the Water Works for the management of the City Pool. They continue to press for more financial income from the company, even though they know that City forces could not operate the pool at a break-even basis, even without repairs or improvements, which the contractor has done.

The Public Works Director reported that the townspeople have exceeded the 30% conservation goal. This

does not mean that they will reduce any regulations on the townspeople nor does it mean that they will do anything to repair the water system. They did propose to test a number of additional chemicals in order to eliminate the colored water and rust.

The Police Chief outlined the use of the $100,000 annual grant received from the State and also including the $95,000 balance from previous years so that all of the taxpayers monies are spent.

More than half of the meeting time was used on a discussion that was supposed to answer a council person's request to re-open City Hall for the morning hours and Fridays that it used to be a year ago. This subject was answered by the Administration with a complete presentation of all of the departments of the City and complete reorganization and salary improve-

ments of all personnel of the City. Wouldn't you know that the main focus was on money and pointing out that the employees were underpaid. This caused one councilperson to state that the employees of the City should be proud and happy to have a job. This is true since millions of people are looking for a job.

There are no employees working for a minimum wage and no employees are paid at the poverty level.

All employees are paid at a middle class level and the upper level is paid equal to the top 10% of the income level. This, of course, is six digit income plus medical and pension coverage added. This action was tabled on a three-to-two vote. This means the. doors still are closed during morning hours.

Some service to the people!

When are repairs to anything going to be done?

Monument to Demagogism Dear Editor: Congratulations Rep. Chu, you have reached National Monument status. In my opinion, you deserve to be called a Monument to Demagogism.

You have taken a National Treasure and through withholding pertinent facts, managed to manipulate the public into thinking we have a disaster in the Angeles National Forest.

If by chance you were to achieve National Monument status for the Angeles

Natl. Forest, management would have to be by a government agency. Rumor has it that a deal has been made with the U S Forest Service to be the governing agency.

Let me get this straight, we are going to remove the Forest Service, create a National Monument, and appoint the Forest Service to manage it.

WOW! Your campaign is based on the premise that you will improve the visitors’ experience.

From what I have read,

more toilets, more signs, more trails, and etc. Where will the money come from?

Congress is the distributor of money. If it is just money, why not provide more to the Forest Service now? You are a part of Congress, you have the ability to start a national campaign to improve recreation nationwide. In closing, I think the way you have handled this idea is why the public has little respect for politicians.

Governor OKs Asm. Holden's bill to stop grease thieves and protect the environment

OPEN HOUSE EVERY FRIDAY 9AM-5PM CALL TO ARRANGE A TOUR TODAY 1 (800) 845-3890 110 N. Mountain Ave., Monrovia, CA 91016 | www.glenparkhealthyliving.com

“Come For A Day And Stay For A Lifetime.”

Assemblymember Chris Holden's bill to give law enforcement stronger tools to combat the growing problem of kitchen grease theft has been signed into law by Gov. Brown.

"In the days of the Wild West it was cattle rustling, today it's used cooking oil that's driving the black market," said Assemblymember Holden. "Law enforcement officers report that grease thieves regularly damage restaurant property and spill potentially hazardous chemicals onto city streets while attempting to siphon inedible kitchen grease. This

bill will put a stop to that by taking these thieves off our roads and imposing heavy fines."

AB 1566 beefs up requirements for licensing haulers, increases the penalties for stealing grease and allows law enforcement to impound vehicles for up to 15 days. Fines have been raised to $1000 for a first violation, $5000 for a second and $10,000 for the third violation.

About 3 billion pounds of used kitchen oil is produced in the U.S. each year. Biodiesel is a product of vegetable oil or animal

fat mixed with alcohol that can be turned into usable engine fuel or added to regular diesel.

Also this weekend, the Governor signed SB 955, co-authored by Assemblymember Holden, adding human trafficking to the list of crimes for which wiretaps can be authorized.

"It is heartbreaking to hear the stories of these youngsters who are pimped and branded and badly mistreated. I think of my daughter and her friends and I want to do everything possible to stop these horrible crimes," said Holden.

When All Is Said And Dunn

By Bill Dunn The entire family, my wife Stacey, my daughter Rachel, and my son Alex, were all in attendance on the field trip to find a new dog to replace our dog Stella that had just passed away.

From the second we saw Ruby at the San Gabriel Humane Society we knew that she was the one. There was an instant connection we all felt, like we had known one another in a previous life. Once we were all together in the “get to know one another room� our first impressions were confirmed and she was ours. Or should I say we were hers?

Ruby established the rules when we got her home.

As she was getting her first sniffs around the perimeter of the house a small nosey bird swooped down to around 4 feet over Ruby’s head when she leapt straight up in the air and grabbed it.

Despite our best efforts she devoured the entire bird, bone and all, in 2 minutes.

An edict had been sent across the property that the presence of birds and lizards would not be tolerated on Ruby’s watch. And so it remained for the next decade.

Despite being the terror of small interlopers in the yard, she was the sweetest, smartest, and most intuitive dog I have ever owned. This dog understood English and when one of us spoke to her in a normal tone she would

immediately respond. This little pet trick amazed us all. It was not something we taught her, it was just a talent she had.

Over the years she was also the best traveling dog. She instinctively knew where her spot was in the car on the long drive up to the Eastern Sierras, which is a 5 to 6 hour haul. Not a whimper or a whine, she was just happy to be there.

As she got older, as with most dogs, she developed a few gas issues, but nothing a couple of ginger snap cookies couldn’t cure.

About the only negative quirk that she had was her toe nails. She would not let anyone cut them. Not us or even a professional with a muzzle. Nobody. I guess everyone is allowed a tick and her nails were it. The only thing we can assume is that somewhere in the early portion of her life, we rescued her when she was a little over a year old, someone must have hurt her when attempting to trim her nails.

That time was one time too many.

Other than her nails, she gave us a stress free and unconditionally loving existence, but time catches up to us all and during the last few months they caught up

Ruby to Ruby. Her decline came on quickly and we could see the writing on the wall.

Her legs that once climbed the mountains of the June Lake Loop could no longer carry her to her food and water bowls. Her sharp instincts that struck fear in the hearts of lizards and birds in our yard were dulled to the point where she could barely make it to the lawn’s edge with no energy left to complete the hunt. Her quality of life had ceased to be. It was time for all of us to let her go.

So at 1:00 on Saturday afternoon, September 20, 2014, the entire family gathered together to say their goodbyes and to escort Ruby to the Rainbow Bridge. As a group we delivered her to the compassionate hands of the Temple City Animal Hospital. None of us wanted her to cross alone so we all stayed with her to give her final pettings until we knew that she had safely arrived.

Every family feels that their pet is the best and that is the way it should be for someone who has given you a lifetime of unconditional loyalty and love. While most of us will have other pets come along to hopefully fill part of the void there is al-

ways that one that can never be replaced.

For us that was our Ruby.

Recycle Used Oil & Filters!

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

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

Author to speak at retired teacher's meeting on early Los Angeles Mayor The name Don Benito Wilson is probably less familiar to most San Gabriel Valley residents than his namesakes’ geologic site---Mount Wilson.

As a pioneer, Don Benito Wilson (after statehood known as Benjamin Wilson) helped shape preAmerican Southern California’s history. Pasadena author Nat Read has written Don Benito Wilson: From Mountain Man to Mayor: Los Angeles 1841-1878 as a witness to Wilson’s numerous remarkable accomplishments.

Wilson owned much of the San Gabriel Valley, was the second mayor of Los Angeles, was a state senator, and also held many other public offices. As a successful mountain man, he built a trail to the peak of what we know today as Mount Wilson.

Author Nat Read himself is a man of many

talents. He is a public relations practitioner, author, songwriter, and even a stand-up comic! A native of Dallas, he attended Austin College. Read also served in the U.S. Navy and was a reserve officer for the Los Angeles Police Department. Nat Read’s writings have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Reader’s Digest, Los Angeles Times Magazine, and many other publications. He is currently at work on a novel.

Nat Read will share the story of Benjamin Wilson’s role in Los Angeles’ early history when he speaks at the luncheon meeting of the California Retired Teachers’ Association #71 (CalRTA-SGV).

The group will meet on Friday, October 10, at 11:30 a.m. in the Senior Center Building in Arcadia Park (county park), 405 W. Santa Anita Avenue, Arcadia, next to the Lawn

Bowling Greens.

The cost of the luncheon for members and guests is $12. This amount represents a slight increase from past years. The increase is due to the rise in food costs, caterer’s expenses and other factors.

Season tickets for the year’s five lunches are available at the discounted price of $55 instead of the $60, if purchased separately. Treasurer John Gera has included more information on page four of member’s latest “CalRTA Communiqué” newsletter.

For luncheon information, please call John Gera at (626) 286-0714 by the October 3rd deadline.

Nat Read’s book DON BENITO WILSON: From Mountain Man to Mayor is available for purchase at the close of the meeting. Mr. Read has graciously offered to sign his book.

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.

Memorial to U.S. Marines who died in global effort to eradicate terrorism will be dedicated Oct. 2 The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Center in Pasadena – 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment – will be open to the public Thursday, Oct. 2, at 5 p.m. for the dedication of a memorial to fallen U.S. Marines and Navy corpsmen who made the “ultimate sacrifice in the global effort to eradicate terrorism.”

The center, ordinarily closed to the public, is at 2699 Paloma St. at the northwest corner of Paloma Street and Sierra Madre Boulevard just south of Pasadena High School. Parking is available at Victory Park, half a block from the center. Public entry to the center will be through the gate on Paloma Street.

U.S. Marines and reservists at the center will take time from their normal duties to pause and reflect on the sacrifice of others who have worn the same uniform. They also will be on hand to greet community guests, who are encouraged to see the memorial up close, take photos and participate actively in the event that will conclude with the lowering of the U.S. flag during the evening colors ceremony.

Please RSVP to donald. wright@usmc.mil or 626-3980295, ext. 1500.

Resting near the flagpole and the entrance to the main building, the memorial is, according to Lt. Col. Donald R. Wright, a source of great pride for the Marines at the center.

“The intent of such a memorial is not to glorify war or even commemorate some great victory of the past. It is meant simply to honor those who have died in service to their country,” said Wright.

“We honor their sacrifice and remind ourselves of the need to be ready to answer our na-

tion’s call. We also remind those who have fallen that we have not forgotten them and that we will not let them down.”

Leading the dedication ceremony will be Wright, Lt. Col. Sean N. Day and Sgt. Maj. David E. Lee. The 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment is an infantry reserve unit that provides trained personnel to augment and reinforce active duty units in times of war, disasters and other situations as national security requires. About 30 active duty and reserve Marines are on staff daily at the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Center in Pasadena. Many live locally and are active in the community year-round.

During monthly training

drills there are more than 200 Marines there, with members of the unit staying in local hotels and engaging in commerce throughout Pasadena.

2/23, as it is commonly called by military personnel, also participates in local civic events and military funerals and works in cooperation with the City of Pasadena during local emergencies and natural disasters. 2/23 has been in Pasadena since 2006.

Mayor Bill Bogaard and the Pasadena City Council unanimously voted to formally adopt 2/23 on Nov. 25, 2013, formally recognizing the relationship between the City of Pasadena and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Center, which is on city-owned land.

Gov. Brown signs legislation to ban single-use plastic bags Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today signed the nation’s first statewide ban on single-use plastic bags – SB 270 – aligning state law with ordinances passed by a growing number of local governments in California to reduce plastic waste.

“This bill is a step in the right direction – it reduces the torrent of plastic polluting our beaches, parks and even the vast ocean itself,” said Governor Brown. “We’re the first to ban these bags, and we won’t be the last.”

The legislation, authored by Senator Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima), prohibits grocery stores and pharmacies from distributing singleuse plastic bags after July 2015 and enacts the same ban for convenience stores and liquor stores the following year. It will also provide up to $2 million in competitive loans – administered by CalRecycle – to businesses transitioning to the manufacture of reusable bags.

Thus far, over 120 local governments in California have passed ordinances banning single-use bags in some fashion, with widespread support from community

and environmental groups.

SB 270 is supported by many of these same groups, along with local governments, businesses and labor organizations.

“I applaud Governor Brown for signing SB 270 into law. He continues to lead our state forward with a commitment to sustainability. A throw-away society is not sustainable. This new law will greatly reduce the flow of billions of singleuse plastic bags that litter our communities and harm our environment each year.

Moving from single-use plastic bags to reusable bags is common sense. Governor Brown’s signature reflects our commitment to protect the environment and reduce government costs,” said Senator Padilla.

“The California coast is a national treasure and a calling card for the world, helping us attract visitors and business from around the globe.

Removing the harmful blight of single-use plastic bags, especially along our coastline and waterways, helps ensure the kind of clean and healthy environment we need to have a stronger economy

and a brighter future,” said Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins.

“SB 270 is a win-win for the environment and for California workers. We are doing away with the scourge of single-use plastic bags and closing the loop on the plastic waste stream, all while maintaining – and growing – California jobs. As we further develop our green economy, SB 270 will be a model for balancing the health of the planet with the preservation of people’s livelihoods,” said Senate President pro Temelect Kevin de Leόn, a joint author of the bill.

“For nearly 10 million Californians, life without plastic grocery bags is already a reality. Bag bans reduce plastic pollution and waste, lower bag costs at grocery stores, and now we’re seeing job growth in California at facilities that produce better alternatives,” said Californians Against Waste executive director Mark Murray.

“California is the first state in the U.S. to ban the most ubiquitous consumer item on the planet, in an effort to drive consumers towards sustainable behavior change. Data

from the over 127 local plastic bag bans has proven that bans are effective at reducing litter and changing consumer attitudes, and have refuted industry’s claims of apocalyptic impacts on jobs and poor communities. A state plastic bag ban saves taxpayers the huge amount of money spent on litter cleanup, and protects the environment,” said Clean Seas Coalition and Seventh Generation Advisors director Leslie Tamminen.

“SB 270 is a great victory for all of California. We’ve seen locally that plastic bag bans lead to cleaner water and healthier wildlife, keeping trash off our beaches and out of our creeks. The success of bag bans in our local communities has empowered state legislators to make the right decision for the health of California’s waterways.

Governor Brown’s signature of this statewide bag ban is an important moment for our state, demonstrating that California is once again willing to take the lead on important environmental issues,” said Save the Bay executive director David Lewis.

Pasadena Sandwich Company 3rd Annual Thanksgiving Share-A-Meal program underway

By Terry Miller

There are some pretty extraordinary people in just about every community in the United States. Some, however, truly stand out from the crowd. Pasadena Sandwich Company is one such shining example. Facing the tragic loss years ago of the patriarch of Pasadena Sandwich Company, the family-owned business stepped up and discovered a world previously unknown.

The Pasadena Sandwich Company has been a fixture in Pasadena since 1995 as a family owned and operated business. Steve Fink learned the deli business from his parents in the 1950s before opening his own for the Pasadena lunch crowd so he could be home for family dinners.

Steve was diagnosed with Amyloidosis (a rare disease that occurs when a substance called amyloid builds up in your organs) in 2009; so late in the lifespan of the disease that his treatment options were limited and he suc-

cumbed in 2010.

While obviously distressed by the loss of their father, Meghan and Kaytee, along with Nicole and Jonathan, turned their sadness into hope and helped raise research dollars to combat the deadly disease. They also

combined forces with actor Michael York who just happens to be battling the same disease that took the life of their father.

That coalition and the Stephen E. Fink Memorial Fund’s goals to bring greater awareness, research, and treatment to Amyloidosis, have altered lives around the globe.

The family continues its deep commitment to community with an annual Thanksgiving program where they feed hundreds of needy families in the area.

This year is Pasadena Sandwich Company’s 3rd Annual Thanksgiving Share a Meal where they feed Families in transition, deemed by the Pasadena Unified School District as those who could really use a warm meal.

This day makes such a difference in the lives of so many people. The families who attend are touched by the generosity of the community, and all the people who help PSC put this event on and volunteer remember what this day is truly about,

giving back. This year’s event is on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2014. “We are so excited to give these families a day that will not only make them smile, fill their stomachs, and bring them together in a stress-free environment, but will remind everyone that family comes first and celebrating together is what fills all of our hearts with love, “ said Meghan Fink of Pasadena Sandwich Company.

They are accepting foods, goods and/or money to feed about 350 people from our Pasadena community this year. Volunteers will also be needed. Meghan, Kaytee, Nicole, and Johnathan Fink genuinely believe everyone should know about families in their communities that are underprivileged and just trying to survive. “Let’s shake the world and give back,” says the Fink Family.

Pasadena Sandwich Company. Their motto says it all. “Proud to serve our Community…”

Serving Leaders, Serving Teams A bi-monthly column by Heather Backstrom, Ed.D.

Adaptive Leadership Mahatma Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson and Sheryl Sandberg are all leaders with distinctively different styles. There can be as many different ways to lead people as there are leaders. None of them are right and none are wrong, it’s simply a matter of what best suits the leader, the group and the task at hand.

The key to being a flexible and adaptive leader is keen self-insight, adept awareness of the needs of your team and focused attention on the task. Combined, this enables you to adjust your style accordingly.

First, begin with understanding yourself. Consider how you’ve handled yourself in the past as a leader.

What are your proudest moments? What are the ones you wish you could do-over and do differently? How did you make tough decisions and what did you learn out of those experiences? What personality conflicts did you encounter and what insights you did gain? Now, consider the kind of leader you aspire to be. Perhaps you’d like to be more strategic, decisive, democratic, analyti-

cal or empathetic. Identify a characteristic that you’d like to develop and take steps to do just that. Read a book, take a course or get an executive coach. By committing to your development you’ll be a more effective leader and be more adept at adapting your style. The point is to take action and to put it into daily practice.

Considering the needs of your team is paramount to how you adapt your style.

Highly skilled employees who have a complex task will need a very different leadership approach from you than less skilled and less experienced employees. If you’ve just hired someone it’s likely that that person will need, and welcome, more direction from you than the person who has been doing the work for a long time. That person will likely see your approach as overbearing and micro-managing. Other times when a very capable employee takes on a task for the very first time they can sometimes feel intimidated and question their own abilities. In this case, encouragement and direction from you can bolster their confi-

dence.

The task at hand is another key component in how you adapt your style.

There are times when your involvement may increase or decrease depending upon the situation. If you’ve just signed a new, significant customer who has placed a large order then being highly involved in the dayto-day work may be very appropriate. Likewise, if your organization is undergoing a restructuring then having a strong presence with your staff and keeping them informed of on-going developments will likely be very helpful.

Your leadership approach is not stagnant.

Rather, it’s a dynamic construct that blends your style with the team’s need and the task at hand. Taking the time to assess your leadership strengths, what your team needs and the situation will help you be an adaptive leader.

Recycled-water bill aquifers.

“Single-family homes use about 60% of their water outside. If people could water their lawns and wash their cars with recycled water, there would be much more water available for drinking and growing food,” said Gatto. “I am grateful to the Governor for recognizing the importance of this legislation for the future of California.”

El Monte Police Department honors airman's last wish

United States Air Force Technical Sgt. Joseph LaRochelle had a dream of becoming a police officer.

Known as “Roach” and “GI Joe,” he had already served four years in the United States Marine Corps and 15 years in the Air Force, where he was assigned to the 452nd Security Forces Squadron and the Air Mobility Command’s Phoenix Raven program.

When he decided to become a police officer, he was quickly cut down by a tragic diagnosis: doctors found the Riverside resident had Stage 4 brain cancer. He died on Sept. 22 at the age of 38, just one day before the El Monte Police Department was scheduled to swear him in as an honorary police officer.

On Sept. 27, El Monte City Councilman Juventino “J” Gomez and El Monte Police Department Capt. Michelle States presented a plaque containing

his badge to his widow, Jamie Tafoya-LaRochelle, and son, Trent, at the airman’s memorial service at March Air Force Reserve Base.

“This young man dedicated his life to the service of others,” Gomez said. “He served our country honorably for most of his life and he wanted to continue on that path by becoming a police officer.

We were honored to have the opportunity to make his last wish come true.”

Vet Hunters Project, a nonprofit organization devoted to helping veterans re-integrate into society, contacted the El Monte Police Department to arrange the swearing-in ceremony. While LaRochelle didn’t live to see his badge and certificate, his family members said they were honored to receive it.

During the memorial service, the Air Force also posthumously promoted LaRochelle – who had served two tours in

Iraq – to master sergeant, and his family was given a commendation from State Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez.

“Joe loved life,” said friend 1st Sgt. Julio Sandoval. “Because of Joe, the heavens are a little brighter and the world is a little better.”

Aside from his devotion to the Air Force, LaRochelle was also enthusiastic about his hobbies: riding Harley Davidsons, getting tattoos and competing in amateur bodybuilding competitions. He was also a self-proclaimed metal head who adored his two cats, Lear Jet and Kane.

“Joe will never be forgotten,” said sister-in-law Terry Otero. “His legacy, spirit and energy will never die. Therefore, cancer did not win. Joe did.”

LaRochelle is survived by his wife, Jamie; son, Trent; sister Shanan Johnston; and his parents Barry and Jean LaRochelle.

Mountain View School District’s Superintendent, Lillian Maldonado French, was invited to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition - Let’s Move! Active Schools Leadership Roundtable at the White House. Ms. French was one of 30 superintendents from across the country to participate in the Roundtable on September 15. The invitation was a result of MVSD’s partnership with AASA, the School Superintendent’s Association and the District’s focus on wellness and its curriculum and approach to physical education.

The roundtable highlighted the need for physical activity in schools to help students get the most out of their school day, both academically and physically. The event also underscored the close relationship between health outcomes and academic performance, focusing on school nutrition and how food impacts performance

throughout the entire day, including in the classroom and on the playing field.

Additionally, it brought together the superintendents to discuss strategies to improve the health and well-being of our nation’s youth. Ms. French enjoyed the unique opportunity to interact directly with colleagues, President’s Council member athletes Grant Hill, Alonzo Mourning, Jason Collins, Allyson Felix, Caitlin Cahow, Misty Copeland, and Curtis Pride, as well as several Student Ambassadors from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.

“This event was an invaluable experience that brought together a variety of stakeholders working to ensure that our students are physically active and academically engaged,” said French. “I’m very proud of the work we are doing in Mountain View in the area of health and fitness and it was a pleasure to be a part of the roundtable and share our experiences as well as

learn effective strategies from the other school leaders,” she added.

MVSD has a comprehensive wellness policy and has been recognized as a leader for its nutrition education, school breakfast program, and healthy schools initiative. This year two schools received the 2014 Bronze National Healthy Schools Recognition Award from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.

Sharon Adams-Taylor, AASA associate executive director, emphasized the importance of the superintendents in helping to create healthy children and healthy lifestyles.

“Your work is critically important because it affects not only the children in your schools but their families and the communities in which they live,” commented Adams-Taylor.

French was honored and excited to participate in the Roundtable and represent MVSD and El Monte community.

Bill to protect campus crime victims signed

by Gov. Brown as congressional action stalls A closely watched and highly anticipated bill by Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles) to ensure that crimes committed on college campuses are properly reported and investigated was signed into law by Governor Brown yesterday. The legislation, AB 1433, requires colleges to report certain violent crimes (like sexual assault and hate crimes), occurring on or near campus, to local law enforcement, with the permission of the victim.

The legislation comes as President Barack Obama is beginning to discuss the problem nationally.

Senators Claire McCaskill and Kirsten Gillibrand introduced federal legislation in July, but the bill has yet to be heard in any committees and only has a 1% chance of being enacted according to congressional watchdog govtrack.us.

Gatto introduced his legislation in January, after several California colleges were accused of covering up

on-campus sexual assaults because of concerns that higher crime statistics would lead prospective students to choose elsewhere. The lack of clear laws regarding immediate campus-crime reporting, and unwillingness of campus officials to involve proper law-enforcement professionals, greatly diminishes the chance that a perpetrator is arrested and convicted. This, of course, can allow a perpetrator to strike again.

"Victims of crime should not see their chances of justice hurt, nor should perpetrators be allowed to victimize others, because a school values its public image more than victims’ rights," said Gatto. "Simple communication between campus officials and local law enforcement will ensure a greater understanding of crime in a community and increased public safety."

Current law regarding sharing of campus crime and investigations is muddled. The only way

for concerned students, parents, or media to get these crime statistics is within a university's oncea-year Clery Act report, required by federal law. There is no simple or timely way for local police (who keep almost all crime stats) to analyze it or to participate in the investigation of the crimes.

The challenges faced by victims of on-campus crimes (as well Assemblyman Gatto's efforts to assist these victims) were featured as the lead story in the January 6, 2014 issue of Newsweek, after several California colleges became the subject of a federal lawsuit alleging violations of the Clery Act. Since then, Gatto has been proactive in responding to community feedback to the legislation and even amended the bill to reflect suggestions that the legislation could also provide protections for people that are falsely accused of committing crimes on college campuses.

Monrovia's 'Vision' questioned Continued from page 1

we lease to Chevron. These holdings have been long term, to say the least. We are not land flippers but have been long term investors and participants in the growth of Monrovia.

With only four years or less left on the lease with Chevron, we thought it would be the ideal time to explore disposition of the property with not only the coming of our own retirements but the arrival of the Gold Line Station as well. It normally takes a developer a good two to three years from initial project submissions to breaking ground anyway so the timeline seemed right.

The bigger picture seemed to be the progress of Station Square and all of its components to make the Station Square project a “Crown Jewel” of San Gabriel Valley and a destination spot.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can live with the gridlock you folks call the 210 Freeway (or any freeway in the Los Angeles area). Maybe I’m spoiled living in Northern California but you must have to spend a great deal of time working on schedules with respect to traffic just to get around. I’m here to tell you that there is a better way to spend most of your waking moments!

We have had a great deal of interest from local developers in the project.

The City of Monrovia once made us an offer for our land under the umbrella of the Redevelopment Agency.

We felt the offer was too low and countered it but never received any more interest from the City or their developer partner. The interest died down as the Redevelopment Agency was rolled up by the Governor and the City was made “custodian” of the land adjacent to ours (the two adjacent parcels) and along Myrtle Avenue down to the Gold Line tracks. Either this is City owner land or Successor Agency land or a combination of both.

What makes the land (including ours) so valuable is the ability of a developer to “assemble plottage” or acquire parcels in order to make the total worth more than the sum of parts. This is because of the opening of new possibilities for a larger project rather than a collection of smaller parcels developed individually.

When we listed our property for sale, we did so with the understanding that we were part of something larger, a “vision” for the community of Monrovia. A place where people could live, a place where they could shop, and most importantly, an attractive destination for Gold Line riders. This was not to be another place like you would find on Huntington Drive (Route 66) all the way out to San Bernardino or Pasadena…one strip mall or commercial center after another filled with national brand tenants as far as the eye could see! Where’s the “vision” in that?

The actual rail station was to be a restaurant. How about this for vision: “Guy Fieri’s (or Robert Irvine’s) “Station Square Grill”? How about high-end “Outlet” stores under residential marvels with European inspired-architecture? This should not be just a train depot. Make it a destination!

Get off of the freeway!

I don’t blame the Monrovia City Council for the complete “derailment” of this Station Square. These folks were not elected for their planning or development acumen. However, their city staff should have been appointed on that basis. What I am about to tell you will make you cringe.

The City is now responsible for marketing or disposing of the two stateowned parcels adjacent to ours as well as their own.

We have been told by the City that at the present time, there is no zoning in place for our parcel or the other two. That’s right…no present zoning! Try selling your property without zoning.

Going back to 2007, the plan called it PD-12 zoning which, according to documents, would allow for mixed uses including residential, office, etc. The offers and interest we have had from developers (if they can develop with commercial and residential units) range from $80/sq. ft to well over $105/sq. ft (if they can purchase the City and State-owned property as well). However, the City is entertaining an offer to use this valuable land and its current structures as a wine storage facility in a “sweetheart” deal of some sort, all of this negotiated behind “closed door” negotiations.

What we have learned is

that the City (under direction of staff) is and always has been considering selling the stateowned property to a local wine merchant for only $40/ sq. ft! This is taxpayer money we are talking about. A city staffer told me six months ago that they were in the process of procuring an appraisal by their City Attorney under attorney-client privilege so that they would not have to disclose the value determined.

We had our broker appeal to the city and represent our interests at a City Council Meeting in June 2014. This is public record as it was videotaped and placed on the public access channel for Monrovia. The broker asked nicely for transparency in selling the taxpayer-owner properties and outlined to the City Council (and staff) that we had “Letters of Intent” (NOI) to purchase our property for over $80$105 per square foot from six different developers.

Their negotiations continue behind “Closed Doors” with the wine merchant for the $40/sq. ft deal.

As an appraiser of over forty years, I am amazed that they would be looking at an offer so low.

They paid close to $70/ sq. ft for it back in 2007 and property values have sure bounced back. As a Commissioner of the San Mateo County’s Assessor Appeals Board in Northern California, I take the notion of protecting the public trust as a serious sworn oath and I can assume that the City Council members of Monrovia takes their oaths seriously as well. To the best of my knowledge, the City staff takes no such oath.

This is not a story of a deal gone bad as much as it is a story of lost opportunities, broken dreams, and back-room deals. It is my hope that the City of Monrovia will shelve their plans to sell the City and State-owned (taxpayerowned) property to a wine merchant and be transparent in their dealings on these parcels and get a fair and equitable price for the State and the citizens of Monrovia.

It is also my hope that the City Council will retain or hire professional advisors with respect to the future of “Station Square” and make it the “Jewel” I know it can be!

Marking the fifth location of the emerging brand, Dog Haus West Covina is located at 2678 East Garvey Avenue South in the newly-revamped The McIntyre Square.

Dog Haus, the celebrated Pasadena-based concept known for its gourmet hot dogs, sausages, burgers, and one-of-a-kind creations, was originally founded by Partners André Vener, Hagop Giragossian and Quasim Riaz in 2010 to recapture the nostalgic childhood experience of eating a hot dog.

"We are thrilled to open the newest Dog Haus franchise in West Covina and to welcome the community into our Haus," said Yan. “Dog Haus West Covina is sure to quickly become the new hot spot in town for gourmet hot dogs, sausages and burgers, all served in a casual, fun and welcoming atmosphere.”

Guests who come by on opening day will enjoy a free Haus Dog from a selection of Dog Haus' classic allbeef skinless dog offerings, all served up on grilled King's Hawaiian Rolls. Options include the cult favorite Sooo Cali Haus Dog with arugula, tomato, crispy onions, spicy basil aioli and avocado; the Downtown Haus Dog featuring a smoked bacon wrapped dog topped with caramelized

onions, roasted bell peppers, mayo, mustard, and ketchup; and The Cowboy Haus Dog with white American cheese, smoked bacon, bbq sauce, and crispy onions.

To pair with their dogs, diners can order fare from Dog Haus' full menu, which is rounded out with gourmet sausages, burgers, corndogs, and sides -- each prepared with the highest quality ingredients. The Fonz Haus Sausage partners a spicy Italian sausage with pastrami and melted mozzarella; while the Das Brat Haus Sausage features a bratwurst with caramelized onions, sauerkraut, white American cheese, and whole grain mustard aioli. Burgers run the gamut from the trademarked The Freiburger® with white American cheese, a fried egg, haus slaw, fries and mayo; to the Holy Aioli with white American cheese, caramelized onions, smoked bacon, and garlic aioli. Ambitious diners can also opt to build their own dog, sausage or burger with the wide array of accoutrements available.

Lighter appetites and kids can indulge in slidersized portions - from a Burger with caramelized onions, white American cheese, and mayo; to a Corn Dog featuring an all-beef mini dog dipped in root beer batter.

Equal attention is paid to the quality-driven sides, like Chili Cheese Tots or fresh-cut, twice-fried Fries with hausmade cheese sauce, cheddar, haus chili, and diced onions; beer-battered Onion Rings; and Sweet Potato Fries. To end on a sweet note, shakes & malts, cookies and other

treats are also available.

To complement the main offerings, diners can select from a thoughtful list of beers and wines on tap. The restaurant will boast eight craft drafts with a heavy emphasis on local breweries, including Hangar 24, Golden Road Brewing and ¬Strand Brewing going by the pint. Canned beers like Fat Tire, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Modelo will be served up in koozies -- a nod to backyard summer BBQs. The fast-casual concept, designed to elevate the nostalgic experience of eating that quintessential hot dog or burger, carries its ethos over to the aesthetic of the space.

After ordering at the counter, diners can gather around communal-style tables outfitted with bar stools or at cozier tables that span the perimeter of the 1800 square-foot restaurant. Striking red and black accents enliven both interior and exterior, bringing a modern sensibility to the classic concept.

"It’s awesome to witness the building anticipation and overwhelming response we receive each time a new franchise opens," said Dog Haus Partner Quasim Riaz. “We are proud that Dog Haus has found a home in West Covina and look forward to becoming a staple in the community.”

The new restaurant, located at 2678 East Garvey Avenue South, West Covina, CA, 91791, will be open for lunch and dinner daily from 11:00am-10:00pm. For more information call 626-331HAUS or visitwww.doghaus. com.

The importance of laughter

Oscar Wilde's "Importance of Being Earnest" brings mistaken identity, gluttony, and hilarity to Pasadena

By Courtney Blackburn A Noise Within---that eminently reputable repertory theatre at the corner of Sierra Madre Villa and Foothill Boulevard in Pasadena--has done it again. This season's middle offering (of only three!) is "The Importance of Being Earnest," and it is a belly-shaking, laughout-loud delight. Featuring the droll and incisive wit of Oscar Wilde, noted playwright and Irishman, and the rapid-fire and impeccable performances from A Noise Within's talented stable of actors, this is a play for both the novice and the erudite.

Most people have heard of "The Importance of Being Earnest," and rightly so. It is the tale of high-society gentleman Jack Worthing, who, in order to cut loose from his upright country-squire role, invests an irresponsible younger brother named Ernest who needs looking after in London. Jack, in the guise of Ernest, befriends Algernon Moncrieff, a dandy young gentleman who approves of the invention of Ernest so much, he takes advantage of being Ernest himself--much to Jack's dismay. For Jack is trying to woo Algernon's cousin Gwendolyn, who adores the name Ernest--and won't marry a man who isn't one. And Algernon, in the guise of naughty younger brother Ernest, sidles up to Jack's ward Cecily--who also loves the name of Ernest. In the end, there can only be one Ernest, and tempers are lost, fortunes found, and sisterhood and brotherhood embraced by turns.

Adam Haas Hunter plays the foppish and finger-licking Algernon, whose awkwardly graceful long limbs and attempts to eat everything in sight are pretty much the funniest thing on stage. As an excited fellow theatre-goer said, "Every inch of him was Algernon--he really embodied the role!" This theatre-goer has seen other productions and read the play more than once---she knows what she's talking about. But Hunter wasn't the only bright star in the play; Christopher Salazar (Jack Worthington), Caro-

lyn Ratteray (Gwendolyn Fairfax), and Marisa Duchowny (Cecily Cardew) captivated with comedic facial expressions and hilarious delivery of the material that sent gales of laughter through the audience. Jean Gilpin (Algie's aunt, Lady Bracknell) thrilled and terrified with her rolling aristocratic tones, which made the ridiculous social norms she espoused all the funnier.

And the butler to both Algernon and Jack, respectively, actor Apollo Dukakis was solidly delightful. His presence and manner of entering and exiting the room alone produced chuckles. And last but not least, the unlikely romantic couple Miss Prism (Jill Hill) and Reverend Canon Chasulble's (Alberto Isaac) performances drew giggles and even heart-felt sighs.

Beyond the actors, the stage is set in a lush and open-feeling Edwardian drawing room, which then transitions to an outdoor patio, and ends in a grand study room with twilight outside. The set and production design is lovely, and makes great use of a few large props arranged in different ways each act to produce an entirely new room. Delicate music sprinkles most of the silences, and even the intermission.

Wonderful sound design.

The costuming is gorgeous, and each couple has a subtle color theme--Algie and Cecily both accented in pink, and Jack and Gwendoly both accented in aqua blue. It was a delightful detail. Very creatively, the ensemble of Kelly Taylor, Isabella Petrini, and Brenda

Marie Phillips, all dressed in period maid costumes, perform the scene changes--moving furniture, flipping the large windows and doors, removing tea trays--in plain sight! It's a wonderful touch to this production and a great marriage of doing the necessary "play" business while still in the spirit of performance.

This wonderful production is full of non-stop laughs and the wit of Oscar Wilde. It is perfect for anyone who wants to be entertained and maybe learn a little about the often silly Victorian social rules. It is perfect for those who want to see a great performance of "The Importance of Being Earnest" done by a talented cast and crew.

Go see "The Importance of Being Earnest" at A Noise Within. Performances are as follows: Saturday, October 4 at 8pm; Sunday, October 5 at 2pm (conversations with cast to follow); Thursday, October 23 at 7:30pm; Sunday, November 2 at 2 and 7pm; Saturday, November 8 at 2 and 8pm; Thursday, November 13 at 7:30pm; Friday, November 14 at 8pm (conversations to follow); Friday, November 21 at 8pm (conversations); and closing Saturday, November 22 at 2pm.

Prices: Single tickets from $40; Student rush with I.D. an hour before performance $20.

Groups (10 or more): Adults from $25; Students from $18.

Historic deal for film tax credit extension After months of intensive negotiations, Governor Jerry Brown joined Assemblymembers Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles) and Raul Bocanegra (D-Pacoima) in taking bold action to protect jobs and families across the Golden State. At a ceremony this morning at TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, and with one swipe of his pen, the Governor signed AB 1839, the California Film and Television Job Retention and Promotion Act of 2014.

The legislation, first introduced by Bocanegra and Gatto in January, was co-authored by more than sixty-five other legislators, and received bipartisan support from elected officials and below-the-line workers from every region of California. It significantly expands and improves the state’s film tax incentive program to keep production jobs in California, including a five year program extension, an increase in the program’s budget allocation to $330 million annually, and the creation of a new competi-

tive jobs rating system to determine which projects will receive the credits.

“I’ve heard from so many people during my time in office, who have told me about their families being torn apart because of production fleeing the state, and how this program will give stability to families, certainty to small businesses, and will help our communities thrive,” said Gatto. “I am grateful for all the help from those involved in this legislation, particularly my co-author Assembly Bocanegra, Governor Brown, Speaker Atkins, Senate Pro Tem De León, and all of the hardworking people who stood up for middle-class jobs.”

“This is a home run for the film and television industry in California. Reaching this deal has been a long and difficult process, and I’m proud to have worked in tandem with my joint author Assemblymember Mike Gatto as we were able to deliver for our constituents,” said Assemblymember Bocanegra. “I’d like to thank

MassageEnvy.com

the Governor, Speaker Atkins and Senate leadership for their help and leadership in reaching this historic agreement. This expanded and improved program will go a long way towards making California more competitive and ultimately will protect and create tens of thousands of jobs for hard working Californians.”

California’s film and television industry has faced increasing competition in recent years from subsidies by other states and countries.

Since its creation in 2009, the California Film and Television Job Retention and Promotion Act prevented as many as 51,000 well-paying jobs from leaving the state, and helped generate $4.5 billion in economic activity. Despite the program’s success, figures from the U.S. Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics show that from 2004-2012, California lost more than 16,000 filmand television-industry jobs, resulting in more than $1.5 billion in lost wages and economic activity.

“4000 Miles” arrives at Sierra Madre Playhouse

By Fran Syverson

-Courtesy Photo

Leo—lean, scruffy, and broke—arrives unbidden one night at his 91-year-old grandmother’s Manhattan apartment. Just for the night. Or maybe two. He’s winding up his 4,000 mile bike ride across the country, and isn’t ready to reconnect with his worried mom or girlfriend just yet.

Moreover, he is haunted and scarred by the tragic death of his biking buddy on their trip.

So Vera and her home provide a haven while Leo sorts out his relationships and his own feelings. But a tranquil haven it is not. And as the days stretch into weeks, Vera and Leo get to know more about each other. There’s a lot of angst—and also plenty of humor and laughs. Each is a “liberal,” but the context of that word has changed across the generations. A card-carrier in her youth, Vera remains feisty but has mellowed a bit around the edges. Leo challenges her with his altruistic youthful world-views…and the ensuing quick-witted dialogues are hilarious. In fact, despite underlying pathos, “4,000 Miles” is hilarious throughout.

The play’s title may be seen as symbolic. Leo’s 4,000 mile bike ride arcs across the country just as these two people’s lives arc across the decades. They’re at opposite ends of their journeys through life—Vera’s world ever smaller, Leo’s really just opening to new horizons. They have much to learn from each other—and they do! And so do we, for we’re practically sitting in Vera’s living room.

Mimi Cozzens plays every nuance of the aging grandmother to perfection—

her lapses of memory (“I can’t find the words!”), her brittle remarks about family and friends, her matronly walk. Leo is youth personified

by Christian Prentice with his irrepressible zest and energy.

Their interactions lead to a delightfully funny play.

Two other relationships are explored. Leo’s former (or maybe she still is?) girlfriend Bec, is played with depth and poignancy by Alexandra Wright. And Susane Lee brings exuberance to her role as Leo’s hot date for the evening.

The Playhouse continues its new tradition of creating foyer exhibits relevant to the play itself. For “4,000 Miles” Lisa Wasserman has gathered a collection of information about the Communist era in the 1950s. The exhibits are interesting to explore while awaiting the curtain.

Estelle Campbell, Christian Lebano and Sherrie Lofton as co-producers bring us “4,000 Miles” with Lebano directing. Production stage manager is Sarah Poor, with Wysper Erigio assisting. John Vertrees designed the apartment that Vera has called home for decades, changing very little during her time there. A sure indication of this is when Leo needs to find a phone number and she offers him the Yellow Pages.

Jonathan Beard, recently named Composer-inResidence at the Playhouse, composed the original music for this drama. Kristen Kopp designed costumes—Leo’s biking gear and a funereal suit, Vera’s nightwear and matronly dresses, Bec’s contemporary outfits, and Aman-

da’s flirty mod dress. Lighting design is by Pablo Santiago, and sound by Barry Schwam.

As Artistic Director, Lebano notes that the choices of this year’s plays provide a wide range of topics to satisfy the theatrical tastes of many different theatergoers. “4,000 Miles” is definitely an adultthemed drama, and contains some strong language that may not be appropriate for those under 16 years of age.

In offering “4,000 Miles,” the Sierra Madre Playhouse follows this year’s theme of presenting plays by American playwrights. Playwright Amy Herzog is recipient of many prestigious awards. Her “4,000 Miles” was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 2013, and named “best play of the year” by Time Magazine.

“4,000 Miles” takes us into the fall season at the Sierra Madre Playhouse where it runs weekends through Saturday, Nov. 8. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:30 p.m. for Sunday matinees. It is dark Friday, Oct. 31 (Halloween) followed by a special closing day matinee on Saturday, Nov. 8. Talkbacks are held after every Sunday matinee. Check web site for details. Admission is $25 general, $22 for seniors (65+) and $15 for youth (16-21.)

The Sierra Madre Playhouse is at 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre. Local eateries and free parking are nearby.

For more information, phone (626) 355-4318, or visit the website, www.sierramadreplayhouse.org, for online ticketing. For reservations for groups of 15 or more, phone (626) 836-2125.

dining & entertainment real estate, home & garden Pasadena Playhouse partners with PCC

By Shel Segal It seemed like a marriage that would have happened years ago. But a partnership between Pasadena City College and the Pasadena Playhouse is only recently being formed.

Robert Bell, senior vice president of aculty and student affairs at PCC, said the idea of the partnership was formed by a “casual discussion,” but it’s now a permanent reality for the two institutions.

“At the end of the last academic year we were discussing what we could do for the next year,” Bell said. “We got into early a summer and [a faculty member] asked me, ‘Would you consider doing something with the Pasadena Playhouse?’ Through that discussion I got introduced to [Seema Sueko, artistic director for the Pasadena Playhouse]. We talked about developing an ongoing, collaborative, deliberate relationship between the college and the playhouse, rather that something that is casual.”

Bell said it is important to

have the students not just exposed to the world of theater, but important to make it part of the students’ world.

“I took the liberty of doing something that would get our students engaged at this level,” he said. “Many of our students have never even been to the theater. Just going to the theater is an introduction in itself. But it’s more than getting students into the theater. We’re actually braiding it into the curriculum and getting them more engaged.”

One way the playhouse and students got together was by hosting what was known as “Talk Back Tuesday,” Bell said.

“The students came and say ‘Kiss Me Kate’ and enjoyed the production. Then after the audience left they stayed behind and had a discussion.

Lucescu Realty announces financing of Huntington Oaks Center in Monrovia for $71 Million

Mark Lucescu, President of LUCESCU REALTY, a market leading investment real estate services firm, announced today the financing of Huntington Oaks Shopping Center in the City of Monrovia, for $71.0 million. LUCESCU REALTY exclusively represented the interests of the borrower, Huntington Oaks Delaware Partners, LLC and procured the lender, Bank of America, N.A. The financing package included a $60.5 million senior mortgage and a $10.5 million mezzanine loan; that together replaced a $51 million mortgage from Wachovia Bank.

Huntington Oaks Center is a 328,711-square-foot community shopping center, anchored by Kohl’s, Trader Joe’s, Toys ‘R’ Us, Marshalls and Bed Bath & Beyond. The five

major tenants occupied 197,852 square feet. The blue-chip tenant roster also included Petco, Party City, Black Angus, LensCrafters, Mimi’s Café, Chili’s, Kirklands, Chase Bank, Applebees, Panera Bread, Chipotle, Chuck E Cheese, Rubio’s, Panda Express, Smashburger, GNC, Menchies, Sally Beauty and Wells Fargo Bank.

"It’s an institutional quality piece of real estate, built in an affluent residential community in Los Angeles," noted Lucescu.

"The borrower developed the property 28 years ago and it has maintained its market dominance since completion."

Built in 1986, Huntington Oaks Center is situated on a 26.1-acre parcel, at the southeast quadrant of Interstate 210 and Huntington Drive. The property, which enjoys 1,400 feet

of highway frontage along Interstate 210, is currently 98.0% leased with 91.3% regional and national tenants in the leased gross leasable area.

Monrovia is well-positioned within the Pasadena/Arcadia/Monrovia submarket, which leads the Los Angeles market in lease rates and occupancy levels. The average household income within a 3-mile radius is $100,823.

According to Lucescu in discussing the latest market trends, "We expect core and core plus offerings to continue to garner very high lender demand due to the dearth of available inventory and the surplus of capital pursuing these types of offerings. In addition we anticipate the major MSAs along the west coast to continue to receive the greatest demand from the capital markets."

HUD awards $14.1 Million to protect children and families in California from dangerous lead and other home hazards

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) today awarded more than $14.1 million in grants to four local and state government agencies and research institutions to protect children and families in California from the hazards of leadbased paint and from other home health and safety hazards.

The grant funding announced today will reduce the number of lead-poisoned children and protect families by targeting health hazards in low-income homes with significant lead and/or other home health

and safety hazards. In addition, some of these grants will support research on increasing the effectiveness of hazard reduction methods. These programs have a demonstrated history of success, filling critical needs in communities where no other resources exist to address substandard housing that threatens the health of the most vulnerable residents, and filling research gaps essential for being able to reduce hazard reduction costs.

As HUD approaches its 50th anniversary next year, HUD Secretary Julián Castro is focused on

advancing policies that create opportunities for all Americans, including helping children and families secure quality housing by protecting them from the hazards of lead-based paint and other home health and safety hazards.

“No person should ever be in harm’s way when cooking dinner in their kitchen or playing with children in the living room,” said Castro. “These grant awards will help communities eliminate home-related hazards and give families new opportunities to thrive.

Housing is a critical source of stability, and HUD is

committed to helping ensure that all Americans have a healthy safe place to live.”

“Home is where a family should feel safe and the HUD Healthy Homes and Lead Control programs will be used by local groups to help reduce lead paint hazards, among other housingrelated health issues,” said HUD Regional Administrator Ophelia Basgal. “I applaud the HUD grant recipients for their leadership in working to keep California families safe: the State of California Community Services Development, Alameda County, the City of Los Angeles, and the San Diego

Environmental Services Department.”

Read a complete project-by-project summary of the programs awarded grants today.

HUD’s HUD’s Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Control promotes local efforts to eliminate dangerous lead paint and other housing-related health hazards from lower income homes; stimulate private sector investment in lead hazard control; support cuttingedge research on methods for assessing and controlling housing-related health and safety hazards; and educate the public about the dangers of hazards in the home.

The funding an-

nounced today directs critical funds to cities, counties and states to eliminate dangerous lead paint and other housing-related health hazards in thousands of privately-owned, low-income housing units.

Today’s funding also directs funds to public and private universities and research organizations to improve methods to detect lead paint in the home, assess the effectiveness of lead laws, improve home fall protection for the elderly, improve sustainable pest management strategies, evaluate the health effects of smoke-free policies, and assess home air cleaning in reducing childhood asthma.

Geraniums Your grandmother was right There are many traditional garden plants that produce flowers but need surprisingly little water or care. Geraniums fit the bill!

There are many cool new varieties that may surprise you with their interesting leaves, scents and flowers.

The old-fashioned standard for beds, borders and containers, geranium is still one of the most popular plants today. Traditional bedding types love hot weather and hold up well to dry conditions, and offer wonderful colorful foliage.

Home price appreciation slows in 18 out of 20 largest U.S. Housing markets in August

RealtyTrac® (www. realtytrac.com), the nation’s leading source for comprehensive housing data, today released its August 2014 U.S Residential & Foreclosure Sales Report, which shows that U.S. residential properties, including single family homes, condominiums and townhomes, sold at an estimated annual pace of 4,508,559 in August, down one-half percent from the previous month and down 16 percent from a year ago — the fourth consecutive month where annualized sales volume has decreased on a year-over-year basis.

The median price of U.S. residential properties sold in August — including both distressed and non-distressed sales — was $195,000, up 3 percent from the previous month, and up 15 percent from a year ago to the highest level since August 2008, a six-year high.

“Higher-end properties are taking up a bigger share of a smaller home sales pie, boosting the median home price nationwide higher even as home

price appreciation slows to single digits in many of last year’s red-hot local housing markets,” said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac.

“On the other hand, markets where large institutional investors and other buyers have not picked clean lower-priced inventory are continuing to see strong, double-digit increases in median home prices.”

Home sales skew toward higher-end The share of sales in the $200,000-and-below price range was down 9 percent from a year ago, while the share of sales in the above-$200,000 price range increased 10 percent from a year ago.

Breaking down the above-$200,000 price range further, the share of sales in the $500,000to-$1 million price range increased 18 percent from a year ago while the share of sales in the over-$1 million price range increased 38 percent from a year ago. Overall the share of sales above $500,000 increased 23 percent from a year ago.

Become a waterwise gardener by attending a free landscape workshop Oct. 4 Rethink the elements of your garden utilizing California friendly and drought resistant techniques presented as part of a free landscape workshop on Saturday, October 4th from 9am-12pm at the Duarte Community Center, 1600 Huntington Drive. Attendees will learn how to garden using a holistic approach including building a living soil sponge, and accessing rainwater as a resource for irrigation.

The event is sponsored in part by the City of Duarte, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, and the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District. The City of Duarte’s participation in this event is part of the San Gabriel Valley Water Smart City Challenge; a new conservation-based grant program offered by

the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District. The Challenge encourages cities to bring awareness of the drought to residents; outreach and engage residents to reduce their water consumption by 20 percent; promote water rebates for businesses and residents viawww. socalwatersmart.com; and adopt city policies that will contribute to the overall sustainability of the San Gabriel River watershed. The City of Duarte is competing in the challenge and is working towards a $50,000 sustainable watershed grant award.

For either information or to register, residents are encouraged to visit “Eventbrite” @http://bit. ly/1AeJVaY or contact Karen Herrera at 626.357.7931, x221 or by email atherrerakaren@accessduarte.com.

“Housing sales in Seattle continue to be very healthy across the board, but one area in particular that has shown strong growth this year is the

luxury market,” said OB Jacobi, president ofWindermere Real Estate, covering the Seattle market.

“In August, homes priced above $2 million saw a 38

percent increase in sales compared to a year ago.

I attribute this to Seattle’s economic boom, which is attracting an increasing number of high-paying,

executive-level professionals as well as international interest from buyers who are competing for multi-million dollar homes.”

Colorful trucks and buses are a striking aspect of the landscape and society across Pakistan. Highly personalized designs celebrate regional treasures, legendary heroes, local flora and fauna, movie stars, myths and treasured words of wisdomtruck art is a truly dynamic folk art. Colorful elaborate designs on Pakistan jingle trucks brighten the Grand Trunk Road, which for centuries has linked Pakistan to neighboring countries.

Decorated top to bottom with flowers, portraits, landscapes and poetry in brilliant colors, these transports are mobile art. And the artists who decorate them are in high-standing in the community.

As early as the 1920s, competing companies would hire artists to paint their vehicles to attract patrons. By the late 1950s, truck art flourished. Haider Ali is a truck artist based in Karachi, who was taught by his father from the age

of eight. Ali's work is much sought after in Pakistan.

In 2002, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival selected Ali and bodywork expert Jamil-ud-Din as the best in the truck painting trade and brought them and a truck from Karachi to Washington D.C. Their finished masterpiece is now part of the Smithsonian Institution's permanent collection.

While Ali has achieved world-wide recognition as a truck artist, he does not keep secret about the craft.

One of his goals is to mentor young artists so they can carry on the legacy.

Ali travels around the world, invited by museums and to special events to showcase his famed painting on donated trucks and cars. This is only his second visit to the US and his first to California. USC Pacific Asia Museum, with support from the museum's Pakistan Arts Council, is hosting Ali as an artist-in-residence from Thursday, Oct. 2 through

031314

Wednesday, Oct. 22, when 4C JG he brings his beautiful folk art form to Southern California. From the Grand Trunk Road to Route 66: Visiting Truck Artist Haider Ali is a live event where Ali will start and finish painting a donated vehicle in the museum's parking lot. Once his artwork is finished, he'll move on to the next job, transforming metal to masterpiece.

From the Grand Trunk Road to Route 66: Visiting Truck Artist Haider Aliis one of 30 events taking place in conjunction with the Los Angeles/Islam Arts Initiative (LA/IAI). Anchoring the LA/IAI are two connected exhibitions, Doris Duke's Shangri La: Architecture, Landscapes and Islamic Art and Shangri La: Imagined Cities commissioned by the Department of Cultural Affairs and showing from October 26 through December 28 at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdale Park.

Surprise! Your pet is welcome!

Unexpected places that do allow pets It's common knowledge that pets are welcome at dog parks, most people parks, and most pet stores. Beyond that, however, the world can sometimes seem a little unfriendly to pet parents who would like to bring their furry best friends along everywhere possible. What many pet par-

ents don't realize is that their pets are welcome in more places than they might think.

Drive-In Movies Watching a favorite movie on the couch with your furry best friend is a great way to spend an evening at home. But if you're looking to get out and have some fun, why not take

your pet with you to enjoy an outdoor retro movie experience? Many drive-ins allow you to pull up with your pooch. You can enjoy some popcorn while he snacks on dog treats from home. You'll love the movie, and he'll love hanging out with you and taking in the sights and sounds of a new place.

SPORTS Lancers run away with 42-7 victory against Duarte High The most prominent statistic lies with La Salle’s defense, intercepting six throws and recovering three fumbles from the Falcons. The Lancers had a very successful night Friday on the ground with Amon Miller (RB) having a total of 114 yards on 12 carries, including a 66 yard touchdown run. The ground and pound continued as Aj Akobian punched in two, one-yard scores on the goal line for the Lancers.

The Falcons quarterback, Isiah Thomas, had a 80 yard touchdown pass to Kamar Watson, bringing their only score of the game.

This was a much needed win for the Lancers, snapping their two game losing streak, including the overtime loss to Maranatha last week. La Salle improves to 3-2, while Duarte drops to 1-4. Both teams have a bye this week before beginning conference play.

Pasadena’s Joeseph Thomas offense and defense Word has gotten out in the Pacific League. Joeseph Thomas can run the football.

But what some might not yet know – and they’re going to soon find out – is that Thomas can also play defense.

Thomas plays running back, corner back and safety for the Pasadena High football team. He said he came to play both sides of the football out of sheer boredom.

“To be honest, I’m really more of an offensive player,” Thomas said.

“When it was time for us to be on defense I would go to the sideline, but I didn’t like sitting on the sideline.

I liked being in the game.

So, I learned corner and safety and that’s how I got on both sides of the ball.”

And while Thomas, a senior, is having success on the gridiron, he’s not afraid to tell you about how well he’s doing in the classroom.

“It’s going really good,” he said of his senior year. “My grades are looking awesome, as usual. I have more than a 3.0. And I’m taking an extra elective to help me out and I’ve

By SHEL SEGAL joined two clubs. So, things are going great.”

And that elective he’s taking, he said, is art.

“I’m not really a good draw-er, but I’m getting the hang of it,” he said.

During the offseason, Thomas said he stays in the football mode by running track, where he runs the 100, 200 and relay. His fastest time in the 100 is 10.9 and his best 200 time is 21, he said.

As far as how the season is going, Thomas said the Bulldogs have had some ups and downs.

“We started out really well with the first game,” he said. “After that, we got lazy and didn’t take things seriously. Now, we’re trying to bounce back up and get our thing going.”

He added the team’s offensive line should be credited for his rushing success.

“They’re the ones making it possible,” Thomas said.

Pasadena coach Drew Bledsoe had many words of praise for Thomas.

“Joeseph Thomas is a great young man of high character,” Bledsoe said.

“He has great discipline and

-Courtesy Photo

is a team leader. He’s a great driving force of our football team. A lot of guys look up to him.”

Bledsoe added Thomas’ hard work is just starting to pay off.

“He’s been doing fantastic,” Bledsoe said. “The first game of the season he exploded for over 300 yards rushing in one game with several touchdowns. The last couple of games he’s been a workhorse for us on the defensive side of the ball. He’s an all-round special player.”

Monrovia Girls’ Volleyball turning the tide LA Galaxy to host Toronto FC Saturday

By SHEL SEGAL

-Photo by Shel Segal

Times have been tough during recent years as the Monrovia High girls’ volleyball team has been battling Rio Hondo League powerhouses, such as La Canada High and San Marino High. But now it looks as though the tide might be turning.

Wayne Teng, coach of the team, said the Wildcats have finished second in Rio Hondo League play the past four years. However, a turning point might have come recently when they defeated La Canada at La Canada in a league match for the first time in anyone’s memory.

“We have seen tremendous improvement of our players because they play all season,” Teng said. “They also join club with me during the offseason for training. So, we’re pretty much 24/7.”

Teng added turning the program around after years of disarray hasn’t been easy. However, he said now

the girls are in a position to legitimately compete.

“It’s been very difficult,” he said. “My first goal was to come to a program from the bottom and redevelop it so they would have a chance to win a league title. We haven’t won the league title ever in 80-plus years, so we’re going to give that a try this year.”

Teng said there are some things he wants to teach his players when they’re on the court.

“I believe that our girls have a lot of heart and a lot of emphasis on three things,” he said. “First, is intelligence. Knowing the game. Understanding it and playing very well with it. Two, it’s character and learning the discipline behind the game, learning the character of being a good citizen and sportsmanship.

The third thing that is most important is learning how we can work together.”

He added the most dif-

ficult thing he had to do was change the girls’ mindset about competing with the other league teams.

“It was hard because while we knew they were very good athletic players we just had the difficulty having the girls have a goal perspective of what they want to do,” Teng said. “They tend to think that South Pasadena, San Marino and La Canada are going to win all the time. Therefore, let’s not try.”

And just hailing from Monrovia has presented Teng with a unique set of challenges.

“You will find my team, within the Rio Hondo League, we are the most diverse in terms of athletic backgrounds, but also in terms of economic background,” he said.

SAVE calls for suspension of Hope Solo following domestic violence arrest SAVE, a national victim-advocacy organization, is today calling on the U.S. Soccer Federation to immediately suspend goaltender Hope Solo following her arrest on charges of domestic violence on June 21. SAVE charges the U.S. Soccer Federation’s plan to allow Solo to continue to play reveals a deplorable lack of understanding of the seriousness of her assault.

Solo’s arrest followed a 911 call by a neighbor stating Solo was “hitting people” and they could not get her to stop. After receiving statements of the persons involved, officers determined

Solo was the primary aggressor and had instigated the assault.

Solo was charged with two counts of fourth degree assault. Police photographs revealed Solo caused her nephew to bleed from his left ear and badly scraped her sister’s face: http://www. kirotv.com/gallery/news/ photos-hope-solo-domesticviolence-case-investigat/ gCLkZ/#5419227 ESPN, TV Guide, and the Chicago Tribune have all called for Solo’s suspension.

USA Today sports columnist Christine Brennan penned, “So what kind of message does this send to the millions

of girls and women the U.S. national team has empowered and inspired over the past couple of decades? That alleged domestic violence is somehow different and less alarming when the alleged abuser is a woman?”

“When running back Ray Rice was found to have engaged in domestic violence, the NFL put him on indefinite suspension,” notes SAVE spokesperson Sheryle Hutter. “But when Hope Solo threatens, assaults, scratches, and draws blood, U.S. Soccer whitewashes the incident as a ‘personal situation’ and sends her back out on the field.”

A rallying Toronto team comes to Southern California to take on the LA Galaxy with playoffs looming on the horizon. Toronto FC are hot after fighting their way back from a 2-0 deficit against the Portland Timbers during their 11th win of the year. But stars Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and L.A. native Gyasi Zardes are up to the challenge, all with double-digit goal tallies this season. With only a handful of matches left in the regular season, this is also one of your last chances to catch Donovan on the pitch before the legendary forward retires.

Chalk4Peace Day at The Gooden School More than 120 students, in Kindergarten through eighth grade, became artful ambassadors for peace on CHALK4PEACE Day, Sept. 25, at The Gooden School in Sierra Madre.

The children used chalk as their medium and pavement as their canvas as they created artworks reflecting their visions of peace for themselves, others and the world. “Peace feels like a warm hug,” said a third-grader. “Peace sounds like sizzling bacon,” said another student.

Beginning as a single event in Arlington, Virginia, in 2003, CHALK4PEACE has grown into a multitude of events in cities throughout the U.S. and the world. chalk4peace.org.

Founded in 1975, The Gooden School is an independent Episcopal school, K-8, where academics and the arts come together.

Open houses and orientation sessions will be held on October 14, November 5 and 15, December 9 and January 10. For more information visit www. goodenschool.org, or call 626.355.2410.

SCALE Academy is alive, well, currently enrolling, and fully within its right to serve children and families seeking an alternative learning environment in the Pasadena community, according to a press release sent out Thursday.

As you may or may not know, the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) issued a press release on July 28, 2014 threatening to file a suit against SCALE Academy Charter School (SLA) for establishing a school location within its region.

PUSD later followed through by filing a temporary restraining order to close down SCALE Academy on August 15, 2014, prior to the school's opening day but failed. The judge ruled against PUSD and in favor of SCALE Academy Charter School to remain open. SCALE Academy Charter school successfully opened its doors on August 18, 2014.

Recent news also provides even more reas-

surance that the law is on the side of SCALE Academy. A recent bill was introduced by anti-charter policy makers and several California school district officials seeking to limit school choice and restrict access to families to alternative charter school options. This bill would have removed the authority of a charter school to locate outside the geographic boundaries of the chartering school district without the approval of the school district in which it is located. This bill was vetoed by the Governor Brown this past weekend and thereby maintain the current law that permits certain charter schools to locate outside of their authorizing district's boundaries.

This is a great victory for SCALE Academy and charter schools throughout California that provide school choice for children and families. As a result of this veto, District attempts to close down various schools has been "stopped." As you may or

may not know, SLA is a charter school located at 1206 Lincoln Avenue in the city of Pasadena where students participate in a blended learning model to support technology integration, self discovery, and project-based learning.

PUSD based their facts and initial press release on the belief that the anti-charter SB 1263 bill would pass and discredit SCALE Academy and similar schools in support of PUSD's legal claims.

However, we hope that Pasadena families recognize PUSD's unwarranted anti charter stance against SCALE Academy and invite families interested in change to continue work with SLA to improve the quality of education not only in the city of Pasadena but in the great state of California as a whole.

As a result, SCALE Academy will continue its mission by providing greater school choice and educational equity within the public education system.

Arcadian James Brady, Professor of Anthropology awarded distinction for Cal State LA

-Photo courtesy of Cal State L.A.

Professor James Brady is recognized internationally for his innovative field research and credited by preeminent scholars for creating a new sub-discipline of Maya cave archaeology.

Brady was born in Rochester, NY, and moved

to Southern California at the age of 5. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from UC Berkeley in 1970. Brady applied and was accepted to the graduate program at California State College, Los Angeles. Brady credits the faculty in the Anthropology Department with passing on a solid foundation in the discipline that would serve him his entire career, and he calls Jon Olson the best teacher he has seen at any institution. By the time he received his Master of Arts in Anthropology in 1974, the diploma read, “California State University, Los Angeles,” reflecting that name change that occurred while he was a student.

In 1979, Brady took a vacation to Guatemala

that would change his life.

The one-month visit turned into a two-and-a-half-year stay. He rediscovered his love of Mesoamerican archaeology, which had been initially inspired by a summer school experience in Mexico in 1968. In early 1981, he was given the opportunity to direct the survey of Naj Tunich, a Maya cave site that became the cover story for the August 1981 issue of National Geographic. The next year, Brady was accepted into the doctoral program at UCLA. By the time he left Guatemala, he had married fellow archaeologist Sandra Villagrán.

At UCLA, Brady quickly distinguished himself. Starting in 1985, his articles began appearing in

professional publications.

In 1987, he won the Best Student Paper competition at the Southwestern Anthropological Association Meeting, two Fulbright Fellowships and a National Science Foundation Dissertation Improvement Grant.

His Fulbright stay in Guatemala was delayed until February of 1988 by the birth of his daughter, Alezandra.

When he earned his Ph.D. in 1989, he was named the Outstanding Graduate Student of UCLA’s graduating class.

At Cal State L.A., Brady teaches Maya archaeology, material culture, geoarchaeology, cultural anthropology and Maya ritual cave use. Supported by external funding, he has conducted field schools in

Pasadena business announces launch of Teen Board for entrepreneurialism Pasadena business announces launch of Teen Board; an eight-month program designed to give high school girls, with an interest in entrepreneurialism and business, the insights they will need to conceive, start and run a successful enterprise. Twelve young women, in grades 9-12, from local San Gabriel Valley high schools will be selected to serve as teen Board Members.

Applicants are invited to send a letter of interest by answering one simple question – “I believe I will be an exceptional business leader because…”

The inspiration of Teen Board comes from Yvette

Beaulieu-Kreutzberg, business owner, serial entrepreneur who grew up in San Gabriel Valley. “I vividly remember my high school experience at Ramona Convent during the late 70s, early 80s when local business leaders would come to career day to introduce us to different industries. I loved interacting with business owners.”

Ms. Beaulieu-Kreutzberg speaks passionately about her early interest in small business ownership. "My father was a successful serial entrepreneur and I witnessed firsthand, the autonomy and self-actualization it gave him." Ms. Beaulieu went on to study business administration at Whittier

College. She held positions in Sales and then moved into executive leadership roles.

She became minority shareholder of a manufacturing company in her early 30s.

She was successfully retired by 40. She returned to business by investing with her husband, Kipp Kreutzberg, in franchise ownership and regional development with European Wax Center.

The Teen Board is a structured, 8-month program, exploring the spark of an unmet consumer need, how to organize and develop a coherent business plan, how to seek financing, how to get organized and hire the right talent, adopt the right systems, and how to

Everyday is an open house:

approach markets with discipline and insight in order to turn a profit. Board members will meet for an hour and a half each month, after school, starting in October.

The program will be highly interactive and exploratory.

The girls will be exposed to guest speakers who are accomplished in business, and are expert in their fields.

Teen Board applicants can mail their letter of interest to European Wax Center to 569 South Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101.. Attn: Teen Board., or stop by at the corner of California and South Lake, to find out about the Teen Board program. Deadline is September 30th.

Mexico and Guatemala and his students regularly present the findings of their research at professional meetings. He has an impressive record of students, both graduate and undergraduate, who have published. Four of his students have won Sally Casanova Pre-Doctoral Fellowships from the CSU system in the last five years.

Brady has published seven books or chapters and 120 articles, some of them in leading journals in the field that he has pioneered. He has also garnered numerous grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Geographic Society. In 2006, Brady was presented a 2006 Distinguished Faculty Alumnus

award by the Cal State L.A. Association and, in 2008, he received Cal State LA.’s Outstanding Professor Award.

Additionally, Brady’s research has been featured in the Discovery Channel special, “The Cave of the Glowing Skulls,” and he has appeared on the History Channel, The Learning Channel, A&E, and National Geographic Explorer. One of the projects with students has appeared as a cover story of the Science News. Numerous other articles on Brady’s projects have been featured in Estylo, Smithsonian Magazine, Archaeology Magazine, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Los Angeles Times and in international publications.

El Monte Children's Day Parade & Harvest Festival - Oct. 18

The City of El Monte, local businesses and community members will come together Saturday, Oct. 18 to host the 20th Annual Emily Ishigaki Children’s Day Parade and Harvest Festival with Grand Marshal Vera Jimenez, Emmy award-winning journalist for KTLA Channel 5 News.

Jimenez – who has earned two Emmy awards, three Golden Mike awards and three Golden Pylons – has also worked for KABC 7 and KCBS 2. She currently works as meteorologist and traffic reporter for KTLA Channel 5 News at 6 and 10 p.m.

The parade and festival celebrate youth from local school districts by providing them a forum to showcase their talents and realize their significance in the El Monte community.

Past parades have attracted more than 10,000 guests, and the event honors 4,000 children annually.

“The Children’s Day

Parade and Harvest Festival is one of the most anticipated events of the year in the City of El Monte,” said El Monte City Councilwoman and parade cochair Norma Macias. “Our City is filled with hopeful, talented and intelligent children. This is their opportunity to shine, and the event also offers our community the opportunity to unite and take pride in El Monte.”

The Harvest Festival at Arceo Park will include free bikes, helmets, GameStop gift certificate giveaways, performances by parade participants, rides, bouncers and two cash awards for the Most Spirited Award.

“The parade will showcase our rich, multicultural community’s children,” said El Monte City Councilman and parade co-chair Juventino “J” Gomez. “It is especially significant to see the community and our local businesses rally behind this event because they

believe in its purpose and look forward to enjoying the celebration.”

The Children’s Day Parade and Harvest Festival, a City of El Monte event, is supported by the City Council, Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, Public Works, the Police Department, Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Downtown El Monte Business Association.

The parade will begin at the Valley Mall and Tyler Avenue at 10:15 a.m. and will travel south on Tyler Avenue and end at Arceo Park. The event is scheduled to end at 1:30 p.m.

Parade applications are due by Thursday, Oct. 2 and should be mailed to Lisa Del Real at 3130 Tyler Ave., El Monte CA 91731.

For more information on sponsorship opportunities, call Parks and Recreation officeMonday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at (626) 580-2200.

New collaboration will provide access to region’s premier hospitals at affordable price Huntington Memorial Hospital announced recently that it has collaborated with Anthem Blue Cross and six of its fellow leading hospitals in Los Angeles and Orange counties to form Anthem Blue Cross Vivity, a new insurance offering that will provide convenient access to some of the best hospitals, primary care doctors and specialists in the region at an affordable price.

“Being part of Anthem Blue Cross Vivity is central to our mission of providing people in our region real choice and value in how they access the affordable, quality healthcare that is right for themselves and their families,” said Stephen A. Ralph, president and CEO of Huntington Memorial Hospital. “As healthcare continues to evolve to meet the needs of all Americans, our participation in Anthem Blue Cross Vivity is one important way that we will continue to attend to the varying healthcare needs of the San Gabriel Valley – just as

we have for more than 120 years.”

All seven hospitals that are part of Anthem Blue Cross Vivity are known for their strong brands that are synonymous with quality – and all have hospitals ranked in the top 30 in Los Angeles and Orange counties by U.S. News & World Report. That means members of Anthem Blue Cross Vivity can be assured of receiving care from a network of hospitals and affiliated medical groups that provide the best quality care at affordable prices.

In addition, members will have access to LiveHealth Online, a webcambased telehealth solution offered by Anthem that allows members to see a doctor on demand, day or night. Anthem Blue Cross Vivity will also offer a host of wellness benefits that employers can select to provide for their employees, including a gym reimbursement of up to $400 per year, FitOrbit online personal training,

and more. Anthem’s 24/7 Nurseline will also be available to Anthem Blue Cross Vivity members for health and wellness advice free of charge.

CalPERS, the nation’s second largest purchaser of health benefits and an early adopter of healthcare system innovations, has already agreed to use Anthem Blue Cross Vivity doctors and hospitals within their Select HMO network in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

Other large employers can start requesting proposals on October 1, with coverage starting on January 1, 2015.

The creation of Anthem Blue Cross Vivity signals a new and innovative way to deliver coverage and care at an affordable price as it marks the first time an insurer has partnered with several top hospitals in a joint venture to create an independent, third party company to provide medical benefits. Its name is coined from vivify, a verb meaning “to enliven or animate.”

Ask Christina

By NerdWallet Health health finance expert Christina LaMontagne Question: I have a Flexible Spending Account that uses a debit card, but some of the health services I want to use my FSA funds on don’t accept debit or credit cards. My daughter’s tutor, who specializes in children with ADHD diagnoses, prefers cash. Are there alternative methods

Can I use my debit card FSA to pay in cash?

for accessing the money that’s set aside in my FSA? Answer: FSA accounts are commonly attached to debit cards. In most situations this makes your funds easier to access, but when the health care provider you wish to use doesn’t accept debit payments, it can be an inconvenience.

Fortunately, there are usually a few alternatives.

If the health care provider, like your daughter’s tutor, operates independently, you may ask if he or she would consider using PayPal or another online option. This would allow the provider to accept your debit payment without needing any additional equipment, though these services do charge fees for use and may ultimately delay payment.

Depending on the insurance company holding your FSA, you could also pay using cash or check

and then file a traditional claim. Simply ask for an itemized receipt from your provider and go online or call your insurance company to ask about the manual claims process. I recommend you retain all of your receipts for FSA purchases, whether debited or not, in case you have to substantiate later on that they were for qualifying goods and services.

Though most service providers in the health care industry will accept debit card payments, there are always exceptions. Insurance companies recognize this and are accommodating for customers who must file claims manually or find alternative methods.

course after learning about sermons Dr. Walsh gave in church in Pasadena.

Public outcry led to Walsh’s demise in Pasadena.

Despite being put on paid administrative leave here in Pasadena due to seriously questionable comments, he applied for a job with the Georgia Health Dept. Eric Walsh received a $96,144.36 settlement. This all on top of the fact he failed to disclose that he earned money from another source: the church where was an associate pastor. He later disclosed that income when the omission was pointed out to him. The error was on Form 700, not employment, and when the omission was pointed out, he did file an amended Form 700 to disclose–which you are allowed to do, according to city officials.

In addition, Dr. Walsh received, like any employee who leaves a job, a final check for accrued leave, vacation, the final pay cycle, etc., to close out his payroll accounts. That amount was $19,336.11.

These settlement figures are “gross” amounts not “net” and are subject to deductions and withholding for federal and state taxes,

CalPers, etc.

The terms of Walsh’s settlement and exit agreement left no legal stone unturned and opportunity for Walsh to sue anyone in Pasadena for discrimination is not an option. However, in Georgia, it is a completely different case.

“No one should be fired for simply expressing his religious beliefs. People of faith – no person for that matter – should be required to choose between their job and their religious beliefs,” said Andrew Coffman, partner in the law firm of Parks, Chesin & Walbert (www.pcwlawfirm.com).

“Firing an employee for expressing his religious beliefs is a violation of both The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the United States Constitution, especially when that expression takes place at church.”

The press release issued by his attorneys stated, “Dr. Walsh has now been effectively blacklisted by Georgia because of religious messages he gave as a lay minister. According to the Charge of Discrimination filed today with the EEOC, at the time Georgia offered him employment, Dr. Walsh

was the focus of California activists dissatisfied with his selection as a speaker at the graduation ceremony for Pasadena City College.

A mean-spirited campaign that intentionally twisted Dr. Walsh's religious beliefs not only removed him as the commencement speaker, it ultimately resulted in his forced resignation as the Director of Public Health for the City of Pasadena. “ “This kind of intolerance has no place in today’s workforce,” stated Jeremy Dys, Senior Counsel for Liberty Institute. “People of faith ought to be respected at work, not fired for expressing their religious beliefs. If there is anywhere religious views should be held sacred, it is in the sanctuary of the Church.”

The EEOC will now begin its investigation of Dr. Walsh's charges of religious discrimination and retaliation. Should the EEOC agree that the Georgia Department of Health is guilty of religious discrimination, Dr. Walsh may seek broad relief, including back pay, front pay, and other significant damages for the unlawful conduct of Dr. Walsh's ontime employer.

Chairman of Board of Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial announces resignation William M. Paparian, former mayor of Pasadena, has announced his resignation as chairman of the board of directors of the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial amid allegations that the board treasurer provided fraudulent background information about himself, that the treasurer failed to follow California law regarding legal filings, and that other board members did nothing to address it.

“California law requires that the board of directors carry out their responsibilities in good faith and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as would be used by an ordinarily prudent person,” said Paparian. “It is my belief that the board has failed in that fiduciary obligation owed to the community.”

The memorial, approved by the Pasadena City Council in September 2013, has been scheduled to be completed and dedicated at the north side of Memorial Park in April 2015 to mark the 100th anniversary of the killing of 1.5 million Armenians over a three-year period beginning in 1915.

On Aug. 6, the webmaster and social media coordinator for the memorial reported to the board that the bio of the treasurer had been removed from the website (www.pasagmc.org) due to the discovery that his claims of being a certified treasury professional and a former paid employee of the cities of West Hollywood, Sierra Madre and Pasadena were false.

Three days later, Paparian informed the board that the report from the webmaster was corroborated by a background investigation

by another municipality, which found that the treasurer had made material misrepresentations about his professional and educational background in his application for appointment to an advisory committee and that he had been removed as treasurer of an Armenian community organization in Pasadena for the same reasons.

The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Board of Directors severed ties with the webmaster and took no action on the allegations against the treasurer.

On Aug. 27, Paparian was informed by the board’s independent certified public accountant that the treasurer had never registered the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial with the California attorney general’s Registry of Charitable Trusts as required by state law, although the treasurer informed the board on May 19, 2013, that he had filed the registration.

Paparian also learned that no financial reports had been filed by the treasurer for the past two years with the California attorney general as required by state law.

Paparian said he was shocked to learn that the board had been unintentionally receiving donations for the memorial illegally as a result.

“Members of the board include a retired police officer, an active duty police officer and a candidate for elected public office,” Paparian said.

“It is shameful that the board’s reaction to the treasurer’s fraudulent background information and the unlawful receipt of donations has been denial and coverup. They have failed to take decisive action, which I believe makes

them complicit with the treasurer’s actions.”

The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial is a 501(c) (3) tax exempt organization.

The Internal Revenue Code prohibits direct or indirect participation in any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for elected public office. Paparian said one of the board members is a candidate for the California Senate and that the board treasurer, who is the candidate's campaign fundraiser, organized a fundraising event for the candidate in Glendale on June 26 during which attendees were urged to donate to the candidate because of his membership on the board of the memorial.

“This put the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial’s nonprofit status at risk and is shameful and disrespectful to the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide this project is intended to remember,” Paparian said.

“I am the first-born son of a survivor of the Armenian Genocide and have dedicated myself to the pursuit of justice for the Armenian nation all of my adult life, and this was a major focus of my 12 years as an elected public official,” Paparian said. “For the past two and a half years I have worked tirelessly on the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial project.”

“My fiduciary obligation as chairman of the board of directors is more than merely a legal requirement; it is part of an unspoken promise to honor and cherish the memory of those who perished in the Armenian Genocide and the triumph of those who survived,” he added.

Man convicted of evading officer in El Monte pursuit A 22-year-old man who led police on a televised police pursuit in El Monte last month was sentenced yesterday to three years in state prison, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Gregory Patrick Flexen of Pico Rivera pleaded no contest to one felony count of evading an

officer, willful disregard in case KA107422.

Prosecutors said on the evening of Sept. 8, officers identified a vehicle with no front license plate. They attempted to pull over the driver, who was later identified as the defendant.

Flexen ran red lights, drove on the wrong side of the road and traveled at unsafe speeds, prosecutors added.

At some point, police set up a spike strip to stall Flexen’s vehicle. After his tires were blown out, the defendant continued driving until he finally came to a stop and was arrested by police.

Deputy District Attorney Linda Chilstrom prosecuted the case and it was investigated by the El Monte Police Department.

Walk of Champions Continued from page 1

known area women took the stage. Beth Costanza, Sandy Snyder, and Gail Marshall are no strangers to the city of Arcadia.

The trio “…wanted to create a story of why they were important in the markers,” said Beth Costanza.

The Historical Society created the committee to develop the project, however; and it was this group of three women who have been working to see the walk become a reality.

It came to pass because “the right people were in the right places at the right time,” according to Costanza.

By the right people, she pointed not only to her two co-chairs, Marshall and Sandy Snyder, the Los Angeles County Arboretum Historian, but also to the current members of the City Council and the City Manager, Dominic Lazzaretto.

“The City has been very supportive of our effort,” she said. With the formation of the new Business Improvement District around the area

of Huntington Drive and First Avenue, there has been increased focus on that area. The BID along with the Gold Line Station coming to that area created the right time for the project in there.

The celebration Saturday marked the culmination of a huge amount of work by the three women who made up the committee. There was fund-raising, planning, and decisions. Marshall

said one of the hardest parts was making decisions about who would be on the walk. There are markers for horses everyone remembers like Secretariat, and jockeys like Willie Shoemaker, but there are also the lesser-known, but equally important people like Joe Hernandez.

Hernandez was the “Voice of Santa Anita,” announcing 15,587 races from 1934 through 1972. He was the Vin Scully of racing.

Matt McSweeny of Matt Denny’s restaurant summed up the situation very well: “The Thoroughbred Walk of Champions has been established because of a 20-year effort by Beth Costanza, Gail Marshall and Sandy Snyder. They should be commended for their spirited effort in getting the project from the drawing board to the sidewalks.”

No celebration could be complete without the official cake, which was quickly devoured by the hundreds in attendance Saturday night.

Pasadena Chamber takes positions on statewide initiatives for November 4th Election

The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors considered and took positions on several statewide initiatives that will appear on the ballot on November 4, 2014. Over the course of several months the Chamber’s Legislative and Government Affairs Committee deliberated the measures before recommending action to the Board of Directors.

The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors makes the following recommendation on initiatives on the California ballot this November: • Proposition 1 (Water Bond): Proposition 1 is beneficial, both environmentally and economically. While it raises a number of fiscal questions, particularly with how this $7.5 billion repayment will affect taxpayers, who will pay the cost of the bond over the next 40 years. However, the bill’s benefits clearly outweigh its possible risks. Plainly, some investment needs to be made in California’s water infrastructure and, though this bond will not fix the water system, it is a necessary start. The Pasadena Chamber Board recommends support for Proposition 1.

• Proposition 2 (Rainy Day Budget Stabilization Fund): Proposition 2 would alter the state’s existing requirements for the Budget Stabilization Account. If approved by voters, it would require the controller to deposit annually into the Budget Stabilization Account 1.5 percent of general fund revenues and an amount equal to revenues derived from capital gains-related taxes that exceed eight percent of general fund revenues. Deposits to the BSA would begin by no later than October 1, 2015. Deposits would be made until the BSA balance reaches an amount equal to 10 percent of general fund revenues. 50 percent of the revenues that would have otherwise been deposited into the BSA must be used to pay for fiscal obligations, such as budgetary loans and unfunded state-level pensions plans. It would

also create a Public School System Stabilization Account that would be funded by a transfer of capital gains-related tax revenues in excess of eight percent of general fund revenues. Funds would be appropriated from the PSSSA when state support for K-14 education exceeds the allocation of general fund revenues, allocated property taxes and other available resources.

Proposition 2 is simply god financial practice. When there are excess revenues, a previously determined amount will be put into funds that can be used later to offset budget deficiencies caused by revenue loss. It also begins funding pension obligations that threaten to overwhelm the state budget.

The Pasadena Chamber Board recommends support for Proposition 2.

• Proposition 45 (Insurance Commissioner Authority over Health Insurance Rates): Proposition 45 would give the elected Insurance Commissioner authority over changes to health insurance rates and anything that impacts charges associated with health insurance. Currently, there is an appointed commission with jurisdiction over health insurance rates and co-pays. To take that authority away from an independent appointed commission and give it to one elected official removes safeguards for consumers.

It also provides too much opportunity for influence and even corruption by giving one politician the sole decision-making authority. We have already experienced how money can influence decisions made by our first elected insurance commissioner. It would be a mistake to give one elected official authority over health insurance rates.

The Pasadena Chamber Board opposes passage of Proposition 45 and recommends a no vote.

• Proposition 46 (Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Caps): Proposition 46 raises the maximum amount that can be awarded for non-economic damages in a medical malpractice lawsuit from the current

$250,000 to $1.1 million. It also requires drug testing of doctors and that health care practitioners consult the state prescription drug history database before prescribing controlled substances. This is a very transparent attempt to increase the payout in medical malpractice lawsuits to increase the amount trial lawyers can make on these cases. While it may seem noble to require testing and controlled substance reporting, that is simply a curtain that obscures the true objective of Proposition 46to increase monetary awards and the amount lawyers suing for malpractice can earn. The result of passage of Proposition 46 would be higher health care costs, higher health insurance rates and no increased safety or consumer protection for the public. The Pasadena Chamber Board opposes Prop 46 and recommends a no vote.

• Proposition 47 (Reduced Penalties for Some Felonies): Proposition 46 mandates misdemeanors instead of felonies for “nonserious, nonviolent crimes," unless the defendant has prior convictions for murder, rape, certain sex offenses or certain gun crimes. It would permit re-sentencing for anyone currently serving a prison sentence for any of the offenses that the initiative reduces to misdemeanors. It also creates a Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund. The idea behind Proposition 47 seems sound, to alleviate jail overcrowding and costs of incarceration for some criminals, there are too many concerns left unaddressed in the measure to create any certainly that offenders released would actually not pose a further threat of serious criminal behavior.

The Pasadena Chamber Board chose to take no position on this initiative, which expressing doubts about its implementation and concerns about impacts on local communities.

• The Chamber Board did not consider Proposition 48 (Gambling Compacts with Mono Indians and Wiyot Tribe as there was little or no impact perceived on the Pasadena economy or Pasadena businesses.

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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 014906-CA.
