Nurses at Huntington Memorial Hospital have filed for a union election for the first time in the hospital’s 123-year history. The election date will be determined within the next few weeks. In 2014, nurses reached out to the California Nurses Association (CNA) and started organizing to gain a stronger voice for patient care and working conditions. “In recent years we’ve seen the direction of nursing become increasingly based on budgets and revenue rather than patient care improvements. Huntington’s 2014 Operating Plan called for large layoffs, reductions in patients’ length of stay, and millions of dollars in cutbacks. Since we began organizing for improvements, the hospital has hired more staff and provided some needed equipment and supplies. We want ongoing nurse input into patient care locked in a union contract—not just im-

Hundreds of people lined Fair Oaks to cheer on such notables as Councilwoman Jacque Robinson, Former State Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, as well as Phillip Sanchez, Pasadena’s Chief of Police who was out in force with his key staff shaking hands with as many people as possible. The community policing such as Chief Sanchez is spearheading was very well-received in the community that has seen a lot of violence in recent months, particularly shootings.

tal documentation to read and make comments to the Draft copy, before the final draft is finished this Spring and Summer and finalized in the Fall. What is now needed is for more public input on the entire process before it becomes final. So, make comments now and then you don’t have to wonder why someone didn’t tell you what might be happening years ahead from this controlling City Planning Document. As you know, we have a Freeway running through the City Of Pasadena. It’s the 210 freeway and it has lots of cars and trucks and an occasional Golf Cart, bustling through each day and night. Coming out of those car and trucks are emissions that impact our air quality in Pasadena but for some unknown reason it is not monitored to let us really know what we are living and breathing, along the busy Freeway corridor. In fact, the Monitoring station that is used for our Air Quality samples is located 1.3 miles south of the freeway near Caltech and Poly, just off Wilson Ave. We continually read articles in the newspapers and where ever we get our news, that Air Pollution can have serious impacts on our health. Such as Cardiovascular Disease, Pulmonary Function in children and adults, Bronchoconstriction, Asthma, Increase Mortality Risks and much more. All you have to do is read the (SCAQMD) south coast air quality management board handbook, to help you get started understanding the problem. The City of Pasadena spends multi Millions of dollars on health insurance for its employees but hasn’t considered spending any money to install a monitoring station along the freeway so that we have actual knowledge of what we are breathing on a daily basis. This air monitoring will be beneficial for those living in the existing homes as well as all the new construction being developed. I believe we all can share the costs to improve our Air Quality. Perhaps, vehicle license fees, that may already be used for this purpose and construction fees can offset the 110K that is estimated to cost for the installation and monitoring service. I think it is time to ask our City Council to consider a Health Element Policy in this new General Plan that is missing in all the existing Documents. They call the existing plan “Quality of Life” but with no meanings of the words related to health concerns. In conclusion, I’ll para-

If you ... “See something, say something” ... “Even though I can’t see something I know I should say something.” Richard Luczyski Pasadena Resident says China Trip is Wasteful Why in the hell spend money like that on traveling to China when Arcadia should be figuring out things for themselves? Cities are hurting and yet some are sending delegates on unnecessary trips. Couldn’t that $30K be used for better things in Arcadia like helping homeless or veterans in need? -Sally ( last name withheld) via www.arcadiaweekly.com OUR WATER Before the beginning of World War II, a forward looking Sierra Madre citizen named Howard Wagner obtained the underground water rights for the people of Sierra Madre. The Sierra Madre City Government accepted the responsibility for the distribution, supply and maintenance of the water of serving the people of the City. More than one year ago, an article appeared in the newspaper about a pipeline of water existed that Pasadena had for water to come from the San Gabriel River. Today’s water masters do not know the routing of the pipeline, but a long time Sierra Mare resident remembers that the pipeline is today’s Metropolitan Water District pipeline that travels under Grandview Avenue. The City government also received money for allowing this pipeline to pass through the City. As the drought started shaping up, the City negotiated with the San Gabriel Municipal Water District for a way to actually receive water for the credits from our property taxes that have accumulated for years. This resulted in a tap into the Metropolitan Water District water line using our credits, to pay for the cost of the connection which resulted in the City receiving water from this on 10/1913, and we have been using up additional credits. The City also has agreement to receive water from the source through 2016. In the meantime, the City has shut down their pumps, which has allowed our aquifer to rise up PLEASE SEE PG. 3

Garlic Breath, Over-Bite & Worm Pills I have some rather strange friends. I guess as an endeavor to keep those friendships, I should change that word strange to something like unique, novel or maybe just special. Whatever. It just happens, too, that all my really close friends love animals. So saying, one in particular comes to mind. Her name is Mavis. She is special and she is an animal lover. Her favorites are frogs and birds. Live frogs don’t adapt too well to apartment living so she has wood frogs, rubber frogs, plastic frogs, porcelain frogs and crystal frogs. She has frog earrings, frog necklaces, frog pins and frog rings. She even takes “froggie pills.” Actually, they are some kind of algae pills. She hasn’t croaked yet. That’s the whole idea.

Her live love is a bird. He is a Budgerigar and his name is MacGyver. He’s not a detective and doesn’t ride a motorcycle but he does fly free in the apartment. One of his favorite foods is spaghetti. MacGyver sits on Mavis’ finger and talks with her. When she holds her finger in front of her face, he leans forward and gives her a pecky kiss on the lips. The other day she made spaghetti and went a little heavy on the garlic. When MacGyver kissed her, he had garlic breath. How many friends do you have who take froggie pills and own a bird with garlic breath? Another friend, Andre, has a cross-eyed Siamese cat with an over-bite. Now there’s a picture for you to envision. Lovable little thing. You never know when

she is looking at you and she can’t bite you even if she wants to. My friend Harlan has German Schnauzer dogs. There is nothing strange about his dogs. It’s him. He once brushed his teeth with deodorant. Or was it the other way around? He put toothpaste under his arms. I forget. Anyway, that’s another story. Nothing to do with pets. One day he had a headache. He was in a terrible hurry. He accidentally grabbed the wrong bottle and took two worm pills. As he was relating the story at a family gathering, his young nephew quipped, “I wondered why Uncle Harlan was scooting across the floor.” Now that’s my kind of kid.

Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun No, you're not seeing double! These sweet boys are brothers, two of four young male siblings needing a home--three all black and one tabby. The other two are named Sammy (black) and Squeakers (tabby). They are all VERY loving, cuddly, and playful, and they get along well with others. Just look at those adorable faces, hoping for a forever home. Adopt two and get both for the price of one, which includes their microchips, neuters, health exams, and kitten vaccines.

Other local cities have only the 20% voluntary reduction as does the California State. The people also responded to the 30% conservation.

Emmy, my father passed last year. This month, substantial funds were received in his name due to a situation no one in my family was aware of. Does this money need to be reported to the IRS? I am sorry for your loss. Generally, taxpayers must report all income for the year it was received. However, income received after an individual’s date of death is usually not included on the decedent’s personal income tax return. These funds are referred to as “Income in Respect of a Decedent” (IRD). A few examples are uncollected salary, alimony or rent as well as retirement fund distributions. This money does need to be reported to the IRS and will most likely be subjected to taxes. Taxation on IRDs can be convoluted and I suggest you address this situation with an experienced professional. I can offer you a generalized answer: IRD funds retain the classification, tax-wise, after death as it would’ve if received during life. Capital gains are still taxed as capital gains;

compensation and interest are still taxed as ordinary income. This contrasts with the common rule that inherited property is not included as an heir’s taxable income. However, these funds are now taxed to the person or entity receiving them – either your father’s estate, his surviving spouse or his beneficiaries. If a check is paid to an estate, it must be reported on the fiduciary return (form 1041). If paid to an individual, the beneficiary will list this as gross income on their 1040. IRD may be subject to both income tax and estate tax. Here is where such a situation becomes complicated. Under the archaic federal 691(c) tax code, some beneficiaries may be entitled to an income tax deduction if the decedent’s estate also paid tax on this late arriving income. To determine the amount of this deduction, you’ll need to

isolate the amount of estate tax that was paid, if any, on the IRD. And for this important reason, a competent tax advisor should be brought in for council. E-mail any questions for Emmy to smartwomen@ ehfinancial.com or call the office as 626-943-8833. Keep the questions coming. Also, please join Emmy for the retirement planning workshop she’s hosting this Saturday at the Crowell Library and next Saturday at the Monrovia Library.

Antonovich Votes Against Majority to Move Forward with President’s Executive Order

Not surprisingly, Michael D. Antonovich voted against a Board of Supervisors motion to develop an implementation plan for President Obama’s Executive Order which would allow illegal immigrants to receive benefits including, social security numbers, work permits and welfare.

Antonivich, who frequently sends out press releases voicing his disdain for “illegals,” sent out another Tuesday saying, “Legal immigration is a vital component of American life, both culturally and economically. However, the President’s Executive Order to grant benefits to individuals here

illegally, was ruled unlawful by a Federal Court. It is premature for the County to move forward with developing an implementation plan when the Executive Order in question has been deemed unconstitutional.” The majority of the Supervisors felt otherwise and voted to move forward.

Ameriprise Financial Advisor

Your 30s and 40s can usher in a period in which your financial situation becomes increasing complex due to varied and sometimes conflicting priorities and expenses. You may find yourself contributing financially to support aging relatives at the same time you’re providing for your children – and trying to save for long-term financial goals of your own. An unexpected event – whether good or bad – may throw your plans and priorities into a tailspin. Though some distractions along the way are unavoidable, it’s important not to let them sabotage your short or long-term financial security. Here are a few tips to consider if you’re in your 30s and 40s. 1. Look at the big picture. You likely have a lot going on financially, so take time to step back and consider what you’re really trying to achieve overall. Make a list of all your financial obligations and goals – from daily expenses to long-term plans. Then start prioritizing them, being honest with yourself about the “need to haves” and “nice to haves.” Also re-evaluate the products and policies you already have in place and ensure you’re making the most of your options. For example, this is a critical time to maximize your qualified retirement savings. If your employer offers a 401(k) match, make sure you’re taking advantage of it, and save the allowed amount in an IRA as well. 2. Set limits. While it can be difficult to restrain your generosity, it’s crucial to set boundaries with your children and other family members if they request fi-

Financial Checklist for Your Thirties and Forties nancial help. Lending and borrowing within your family can lead to both financial and emotional stress, so make sure you’re in a position to help – and set realistic expectations – before you provide assistance. If you anticipate needing to help finance your child’s college education or a parent’s stay in an assisted living facility, begin planning and saving well in advance to avoid compromising your own financial security. 3. Educate your children. If you have children, take steps to instill financial responsibility now. Guiding them on a path to financial independence is positive for them, but also good for your own financial future. Research some of the ways you can talk to your children about finances, teach them to spend and save responsibly, and lead by being a positive influence. Also be sure to establish a will and guardianship plan, and ensure your children are adequately covered under your insurance policies and in case you or your spouse is unable to provide for them because of a premature death or disability. 4. Prepare for change. Unexpected events are bound to happen, but you can minimize the risk that an event like disability, illness, or divorce will jeopardize your financial security by having a contingency plan in place. It’s difficult to consider these circumstances, but having an emergency fund for unforeseen events may be a lifesaver someday. If your emergency fund goes unused, saving the extra cash will be not have been in vain – consider using it to pad your retirement

savings. 5. Seek advice. It can be extremely challenging to prioritize your financial goals during your 30s and 40s, but your future financial security depends on it. Why go it alone? Consider consulting with a financial advisor and other professionals, such as an accountant and attorney. They can help guide you through the multiple demands you face and help you make rational decisions about your finances. The most important thing to remember during this period is that though you may find it challenging to set aside the cash for your long-term goals, it’s crucial not to lose sight of them. Ensure you’re saving a manageable amount now while time is still on your side. Jean D. Koehler is a Financial Advisor with Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. in Arcadia, Ca.

Fish Canyon Falls Trail Reopens by joe taglieri

ocal officials reopened the Fish Canyon Falls Trail in Duarte on Feb. 11 after nearly two months of closure for repairs to the terrain. The San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders, a nonprofit organization affiliated with the National Forest Service and comprised of volunteers who maintain hiking trails in the area, cleared debris and restored hiking access to the portion of the trail that leads to Fish Canyon Falls. In December a rockslide stranded a group of hikers, prompting a response from the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the federal Angeles National Forest Service, according to the city of Duarte's website. No injuries occurred, but the hikers told rescuers that the only way to get to the waterfall was to go off the trail in order to circumvent the blocked area. "There was erosion on a narrow portion of the trail which didn't allow people to walk around the area that

was eroded," said local Forest Service official Freddy Duncan. "The site of the rockslide overlooks a drop down ... about 20 feet with sharp, highly fractured granite below, which made the point of obstruction a potential safety hazard for hikers," Trailbuilders volunteer Fred Rice said via email. "Safe progress through the potential hazard was possible for those who might climb down into the riparian drainage, then scramble back up the hillside to regain the trail. However, we want to try to keep people out of fragile waterways and keep whatever litter is dropped along the trails rather than in the creek." Rice led a team of seven on Jan. 17 to clear the slide debris as well as a variety of trail maintenance tasks such as widening narrow areas against rock walls and clearing fallen trees out of the way. "The Forest Service asks us volunteers to remove obstructions and establish the trail footing back

to as close to what is considered traditional and original locations as possible," Rice said. "It's a good policy that makes sense, otherwise over the years, the decades

and the Centuries trails start to wander around a bit which contributes to erosion." The Trailbuilders crew

Rice explained. Officials from Duarte, the Forest Service and Fire Department hiked to the end of the trail on Feb. 10

and determined it was safe to restore public access, Duncan said. Estimates of the trail's total length vary, but the Forest Service and Trailbuilders describe it as a five mile round-trip hike. "There's no doubt that the allure of this trail has increased significantly throughout the last year primarily due to the closure of other trails that are adjacent to this one or close in proximity," Duncan said. "I think there is an increased interest to visit front trails — trails that are in the front country and in the urban interface — as opposed to driving a distance to get to the trail. It's adjacent to a major city and it is a relatively short trail with a waterfall at the end, and who doesn't want a waterfall at the end of a trail?" Rice expressed thoughts on the Fish Canyon Trail's significance, especially as a resource for the community's young people. "This is an extremely important hiking trail for a number of reasons, more so

now that Garcia Trail above Azusa which was badly damaged in the [2014] Colby Fire appears to be defunct and shall never reopen," he said. "It's vitally important because it's easy to access and affords younger children with the opportunity to go on an easy onemile hike with almost no elevation gain to speak of. I feel that we need to get as many children outdoors as possible, away from their computers, game boxes, telephones and everything else in addition to getting them out of the stinking cities with all the concrete, cars, police activity, pollution and strife." An access trail on the Vulcan Materials Co.'s Azusa Rock Quarry property enables hikers to access the traditional portion of trail that leads to the waterfall. The access trail and parking lot is located in Azusa at 3901 Fish Canyon Road and is open daily 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. during fall and winter and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the spring and summer.

Wal-Mart Wages: Barbecuing the Current Labor Debate by nick kipley Wal-Mart’s recent move to increase hourly wages at all its stores throughout the U.S. has caused a debate from both liberal and conservative news outlets this past weekend. Conservatives argue that the move by the largest private employer in the world is evidence that business owners shouldn’t be required to have federally mandated regulation telling them how much to pay their employees. Liberals claim that WalMart’s pay raise is a political move that—when paired with the ideas of “less government regulation in the name of free enterprise”— works much to the favor of Republican lawmakers who often argue against politicians sticking their noses into things like, “determining the bare standard of pay needed to hopefully survive.” Certain liberal outlets have also argued that the raise given by Wal-Mart won’t actually cost the company anything: Paying the 500,000 full and part time workers a $1.75 raise to $9.00 an hour will amount to less than half of 1% of the company’s $476B revenue. With the country’s largest company raising their wages from bare minimum to $1.75 above bare minimum, Republican lawmakers could undoubtedly have grounds to vote against any bills drafted by state or federal lawmakers seeking to raise hourly wages. It is not clear how a raise for Wal-Mart employees in California will be structured as, pursuant to a bill signed by Jerry Brown in 2013, the current minimum wage of the Golden State went from $8.00/h in 2013, to $9.00/h this past New Year’s Day with the rate is set to increase to $10/h January 1st, 2016. The reason the Left as-

sumes that the Right will use the $1.75 bargaining chip to pass or crush future legislature is undoubtedly based upon the startling ferocity and power of right-wing politicians to steamroll anything not right wing. On the other hand though, the Left does tend to get incredibly preoccupied with its unnecessarily inclusive prerogative when drafting any legislature, given their propensity to try to somehow increase diversity and while simultaneously attempting to limit the probability of ever sounding even a little bit offensive, even if it’s on accident. The caveat here is that how such diversity is monitored has never been made officially clear by any liberal politician (lest they come across as sounding a bit offensive on accident while explaining what diversity means). As a result of this, trying to be some sort of moral authority without actually asserting any authority lest they offend someone, the Left hasn’t had an original idea in at least 35 years. Even the framework for Obamacare can be found in draft form in the 20-volume Mandate For Leadership, published in 1981 by the Reagan Administration’s conservative think-tank the Heritage Foundation. The Right, in that same span, has become the party exclusively for either the super rich, or for the incomprehensible chickenhawkish fringe-adrenaline-junkies who dress up like teapots and are hooked on the war-cry news mediums of Fox News and Conservative Talk Radio. Such ideational restrictions on both left and right make it wholly impossible for any side of the current

political schema to ever say anything effectively, or with any real originality. This, especially since the decision of Wal-Mart to raise the wage, comes after Obama raised the hourly wage of Federal Government Employees to $10.10 an hour. It wasn’t a victory for the workers, it won’t be a victory for the left, and it hardly cost the right anything as this move will hardly put pressure on other corporations to do anything but adjust their wages with the cost of living. What matters now is not that Wal-Mart has decided to give its employees a raise and what that means, but how Wal-Mart’s employees can—as the largest collective of private employees in the world—learn to see themselves as literally the most crucial element to the firm’s success. In other words: if a million-something retail employees simply didn’t show up for work one day, the world would take notice. If all the employees took a highly-organized, a-political, Saturday ditch day from work, there is no feasible way all of the truant employees could get fired (this especially since it wouldn’t be an act of unionization, which WalMart opposes). The amount of paperwork to fire that many people alone would absolutely swamp the administration for weeks. Plus, the re-hiring process (finding a million new hourly workers) would be one of the largest bureaucratic nightmares in Human Resources history. So maybe, instead of listening to the Left drone on about how Wal-Mart makes it hard for certain groups to climb the ranks, or listening to the Right shriek about the infallible laws of supply and demand dictating how little

Continued from page 3

they should be allowed to pay their employees, the entire dialogue should be given over to the workers-as-voters? What must happen is for them—collectively and democratically—to change this tiresome 35-year dialogue. After all, since the 1980s the trend in both left- and rightwing policy has come to recognize that consumer choice, steers the entire system. Who better recognizes the atavistic, Darwinian impulses of consumer choice then, say, a Wal-Mart employee who has worked the Black Friday shift? It might be interesting if for one day, Wal-Mart employees everywhere got together on Facebook and organized themselves a transcontinental Saturday-long barbecue. In the San Gabriel Valley alone, such a barbecue would be attended by tens of thousands of people. The trick wouldn’t be to position this barbecue as an excuse to collective bargaining; instead, it would merely be an excuse to grill some hot dogs and throw the Frisbee around. If you’re only making like $9 an hour and you skip out on work then a huge barbecue would only cost you only about fifty bucks in lost wages after tax? Or: since Wal-Mart’s current corporate policy doesn’t allow its employees to take a paid sick day without giving notice a day in advance of the day they plan on being sick, the barbecue would be as if all Wal-Mart employees somehow caught a fast-moving, 24-hour flu bug on Friday and couldn’t get out of bed the next day. But, you know, with watermelon and picnic ants. And as luck might have it, the 4th of July happens to fall on a Saturday this year.

maintenance of the system, which they have not done. They used to inform the people of the amount of income, but so far no information has been revealed to the people. Why does the City Government wage acts of warfare against the people they are supposed to be serving? When will they charge one rate for all users? Never mind telling us of your reasons why you are doing what you do? The people supply 100% of the income of the City and are entitled to fair and honest treatment. Sierra Madre Watchman Open letter from Sierra Madre Resident to Mayor about Fire Horn

Dear Mayor Harabedian, I would like to find out more information on the Fire Horn that has recently been blasting unlawful decibel levels daily in my neighborhood. Along with many of my neighbors and nearby merchants, I would like to lodge a complaint - for every day since its reinstatement about the location, volume and frequency of this unnecessary horn. According to the City webpage, this horn is an outdated form of first-responder notification, brought back only for nostalgic reasons and not out of necessity. h t t p : / / w w w. c i t y ofsierramadre.com/ city-news/776-historicalfire-horn-restored-and-to-beblown-daily. There are many witnesses to the harm this horn causes to the community in close proximity. The harm has been documented in past news articles. It frightens people, sometimes causing them to trip and fall. It hurts

the ears of many, especially children, animals, and those with hearing aids. My neighbor’s autistic child becomes undone at its sound. It is disruptive and stress-inducing, alarming when there is no danger present. Such as it is, the horn is terrifying and cruel. Then there is the very real possibility of lawsuits against the City of Sierra Madre, an unnecessary risk we would all like to avoid. The horn kills commerce for those surrounding businesses. Some say they would never board a dog at the nearby facility, nor would they consider frequenting the dining establishments nearby. The placement of the horn is most certainly a poor example of city management. I have lived here since 1988, and I absolutely adore our town. The significant, needless noise disturbs the peace and tranquility unique to Sierra Madre. I propose that those nostalgic for the horn can program their personal devices to trip down memory-lane. Everybody wins. Please provide - or direct me to where I can find - the following information: 1. an environmental impact study of the horn 2. any permits exempting the horn from our current noise and nuisance laws https://www.municode. com/library/ca/sierra_madre/ codes/code_of_ordinances 3. cost assessment of horn 4. department in charge of horn 5. all complaints lodged against the horn 6. what we can do to halt the daily noise pollution of the horn immediately Yours truly, Karol Ballard

Young Frankenstein is alive and doing well, thank you very much. The classic horror film genreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most iconic monster â&#x20AC;&#x201C; neck bolts and all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; comes to the stage on Friday, Feb. 27 as Pasadena City College presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein.â&#x20AC;? Adapted from Brooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1974 comedy film of the same name, PCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production will feature the Theater and Music Departmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brightest students as they resurrect some of cinematic historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beloved monster movie characters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it would be a fun and educational experience for our students,â&#x20AC;?

said Whitney Rydbeck, PCC assistant professor and director of the musical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The characters in this production are from monster movie history that began in the 1930s with Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney. These characters and story-Ââ&#x20AC;?telling style give our students an opportunity to explore this history from a 21st Century outlook.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein,â&#x20AC;? which opened on Broadway in 2007, tells the story of Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, a skilled neurosurgeon who spends his life disassociating himself from his infamous mad scientist

grandfather. When he discovers that he has inherited his grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s castle, he moves to Transylvania. With the assistance of the hunchback Igor, an attractive lab assistant named Inga, and an old housekeeper Frau Blucher, Dr. Frankenstein discovers that some of his grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiments might indeed work after all. PCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young Frankensteinâ&#x20AC;? will feature much of the same formula that made the original Brooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comedy one of the funniest American movies of all time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The humor of Mel Brooks is dated, old-Ââ&#x20AC;? fashioned, corny and bawdy,â&#x20AC;? Rydbeck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is also very

funny. It shows that, in the right hands, humor is universal, even with old-Ââ&#x20AC;?fashioned, out-Ââ&#x20AC;?of-Ââ&#x20AC;?style material like this.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young Frankensteinâ&#x20AC;? opens at 8 p.m. on Feb. 27, followed by shows on Saturday, Feb. 28 at 2 and 8 p.m.; Thursday, March 5 at 8 p.m.; Friday, March 6 at 8 p.m.; and Saturday, March 7 at 2 and 8 p.m. All shows will be held in PCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sexson Auditorium, in the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s C Building.

Highlights include a rare performance of a new version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amazing Graceâ&#x20AC;? written in the Cherokee language and involving Native American flute, and Artistic Director Roblesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lift Evâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ry Voice,â&#x20AC;? a haunting arrangement of the Black National Anthem for solo and chorus, which was recently published by E.B.

lishing for distribution by Hal Leonard. SGVCC, a mostly volunteer ensemble based in Monrovia, is experiencing tremendous artistic growth as it approaches its 20th anniversary.

Parson’s Nose Theater (PNT), the acclaimed classical comedic theater company, will be ending their successful production of Giraudoux’s The Madwoman of Chaillot, this Sunday, March 1st. The 70-minute production, adapted and directed by Artistic Director, Lance Davis, features Barry Gordon as Ragman and Mary Chalon as Countess Aurelia. “Respect for the play in this deliberately abbreviated adaptation makes it totally approachable … eerily prophetic … perfectly underplayed Barry Gordon (Ragman)… superb Mary Chalon.” Classic themes rekindled. Fracking, the Keystone pipeline, Alzheimer’s, The Corporation are all issues we face today. There could not be a more timely play than Giraudoux’s 1943 “The Madwoman of Chaillot.” Oil is discovered below the streets of Paris, in the lovely arrondissement of Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.

What It’s Like to Grow up in a Hostel By jennifer schlueter On our recent trip to Brazil, my friends and I stayed at the Villa Française hostel in Salvador da Bahia, which is run by two French ex-pats, Stephanie and Nathalie. Seeing Stephanie’s 13-year-old daughter Emilie assist with daily hostel chores made me wonder about what it is like to grow up in a hostel; so I decided to interview her. After repeated vacations in Brazil in 2007 at the Villa Française, and after her divorce, Stephanie fell in love with the country. When the French guest house was up for sale, she bought it together with her friend Nathalie, because she thought it was the right time to make her dream of a hospitality business come true. Stephanie’s children, Emilie and her brother, followed her mother. In September 2008, still in France, 6-year-old Emilie did not have an easy start in elementary school: She was very quiet and had difficulties learning how to read and write. Her mother feared that the upcoming move to Brazil would give Emilie even more trouble because she did not speak a word of Portuguese. Three months later, the family moved to Brazil and Stephanie’s fears became true: Not only was Emilie bullied at school for not speaking Portuguese, and then, after learning some words, speaking with a French accent, but also for the still-existing stereotype of French people’s lack of hygiene. A few weeks in, Stephanie was called to the principal’s office because Emilie bit and beat her bullies. Her daughter was no longer the shy, calm girl that she had been in France. As soon as Emilie learned Portuguese, she started telling her mom about her school days in French, but ended in Portuguese because it was easier for her. The more Emilie could speak, the more she assimilated and soon, Capoeira, the beach, and carnival became an important part of her life. When she is not at school or the beach, walking the dogs or reading, Emilie helps her mother with welcoming guests to the hostel, cleaning dishes, and sometimes assisting the maids with cleaning rooms or doing laundry. When I asked her if she would rather live in a “normal” household than a hostel, Emilie shakes

her head. “Non,” she says confidently in French. She explains that she loves being around national and international guests and conversing with them. Because she interacts with a lot of adults, Stephanie says that Emilie has their attitude rather than

cause she is used to barely seeing them. However, she enjoys her time with them, because they are always curious about her life in Brazil, and she loves telling them about it. When I asked her which guests she prefers, she names the Portuguese

a child’s. Meeting all different kinds of people has made Emilie very sensitive of their actions; thus, she notices certain behavior, i.e. people’s lack of respect towards her due to her age. Furthermore, Emilie’s maturity shines through when she talks about how much she dislikes kids being on their phones constantly. She would prefer them to keep eye contact while listening to a conversation. Adults are more likely to do so, she says. Because the hostel is only closed for four days during Christmas, Stephanie and Nathalie barely get free time that would allow them to travel. Emilie, however, yearly visits her father and the rest of her family during her summer vacation, which, for her, is during December and January. She claims she doesn’t really miss her family in Europe too much be-

and French speakers, simply because it is easy for her to communicate with them. For three years, Emilie has also been studying English at school, which she is eager to learn since she plans on visiting England and the US. She knows phrases such as “Don’t put paper in the toilet” or “no smoking,” but otherwise prefers to communicate with hostel guests in French or Portuguese because she knows these languages better. Emilie and her mom jokingly tell me that she wants to be a singer when she grows up. But then, she gets more serious and says she sees herself in a job requiring a lot of interaction with all kinds of people. She could imagine working in a hostel, but never owning one, because she recognizes Stephanie’s and Nathalie’s difficulties with it and their rare free time.

Suspect Identified and Arrested in Temple City ATM Assault Incident Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Temple Station detectives have made an arrest in the assault of a man at an ATM machine in Temple City that occurred last Saturday. The victim, a male Hispanic, 79 years old, was standing on the sidewalk in the 9500 block of Las Tunas Drive, Temple City, attempting to use an ATM machine. A male white adult approached the victim and began screaming at him for no reason, and without provocation. The suspect then pushed the victim, causing him to fall into the street. The victim lost consciousness when he struck his head. A witness reported the victim was pushed to the ground in the street by the suspect. The suspect then began to assault the victim by punching and kicking

patient care assignments without fear of retaliation. “We want California patient safety laws incorporated into our union contract so we can require the hospital to legally comply. We also want our pension, which was frozen two years ago, to be restored, and predictable and transparent pay raises. This should improve recruitment and retention of new nurses,” said Ann Linck, retired RN from the Maternity

Unit. Nine elected federal, state, and city political leaders, along with over 500 community members have signed letters and petitions calling on Huntington to act in accordance with patient care and federal labor law. Pasadena City Councilmembers Victor Gordo and Jacque Robinson will speak in support of the nurses’ efforts to restore quality patient care at Huntington

Hospital. They will call on Huntington administration to comply with federal labor and California healthcare laws, to immediately cease the harassment of nurses, and to engage in a fair election, free from intimidation. “Nurses do God’s work. We believe that by supporting them, we are building a more just society for all,” said Andrew Schwiebert, Lead Pastor at Aspire Ministry in Pasadena.

for a formal, specific plan for the envisioned Town Center development project that has been discussed in municipal forums throughout the last decade. A $325,000 grant from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority provides funding that will primarily cover the cost of drafting the development plan and an environmental impact report, according to a city staff report. In January the council approved a contract with consultant MIG Inc. to work with the ad hoc committee in producing the Town Center plan and EIR. The committee will first convene April 1 and continue meeting on the first Wednesday of each month for 10-14 months, according to the agenda for Tuesday's council meeting.

ents—who in the surrogacy and egg donation world are known as intended parents—paid thousands of dollars for egg donation and surrogacy services that Miracles promised to coordinate. Layton took money— often tens of thousands of dollars—from the intended parents, but, instead of putting the funds into escrow accounts to be withdrawn only for certain costs related to the surrogacy or egg donation, Layton used the money for her own personal expenses or to cover unpaid costs related to other clients. As a result of Layton’s misappropriation of client funds, egg donors, surrogates, attorneys and others often were not paid for all the services they provided and intended parents often did not receive all the

services for which they had paid. At least one investor in Miracles also lost money. When the donors, surrogates and intended parents sought to recover their money and costs, Layton would lull them into believing they would be repaid through false assurances that payments had already been made or would be made soon. As a result of the fraud scheme, more than 40 victims lost more than $270,000. As a result of her pleading guilty to wire fraud, Layton faces a maximum statutory sentence of 20 years in federal prison. Layton is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Wu on May 28. The investigation into Layton was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

woman yelled, “We love you Pasadena Police…” as a Motorcycle officer drove past one area of the parade near Hammond. That sentiment was echoed throughout the parade. Many young people marched in the parade wearing T-Shits that read “Our Lives Matter” or “Black Lives Matter” as well as “All Lives Matter” as a direct result of the recent, highly-publicized police officer involved deaths of young black men in Florida, New York, Ferguson and of course, Ohio. The young men and women, while visibly still shocked by events in this country, were moreover in a therapeutic mood as one participant in the parade held up a sign which read “In the face of hurt and harm, we still have hope…” During the entire parade

only one woman protested against the police. While yelling vulgar obscenities about police officers in Pasadena through a loud bullhorn, this individual was staging a movement in what observers said was an inappropriate environment where young children were watching the likes of their heroes like the Buffalo Soldiers. Most in the parade ignored the woman who was obviously attempting to incite trouble. While keeping a watchful eye, Police officers mostly ignored the woman. However many parents disturbed by the vulgarities uttered from her, quickly moved their children away from the woman’s angry pulpit. Jarvis Emerson, who headed up the parade, said he was delighted with this year’s turnout and believed it was bigger than last year’s with

nearly 90 entrants. He added “ we really appreciate the Pasadena Police Dept.’s support which always is fun and keeps everyone safe throughout all the events of the day, not just the parade.” He also added that some participants came from as far as Bakersfield and San Bernardino. Asked about next year, Mr, Jarvis sinly said it will be “ bigger and better.” Celebrations will continue in Pasadena through Sunday, March 15, 2015. Celebrity grand marshals for the parade were KNBC television reporter Beverly White and actor-comedian Jason Echols. Community grand marshals were Pasadena community activists and business owners Bill and Brenda Galloway. Pasadena Independent was one of the event sponsors in addition to other community groups and organizations.

Maranatha’s Katy Coats Scores in 77th Minute to Advance Past South El Monte 2-1 By jacob bigley Maranatha girls’ soccer came out strong by keeping pressure on the South El Monte’s defense while maintaining possession. The Minutemen’s first shot on goal came from Morgan Howe (#12) in the 13th minute of play. Howe took the ball down the weak side of the field and launched a left-footed shot with an Eagle’s defender glued to her right side. The ball placement was right on target and bounced into the back of the net to give Maranatha a 1-0 lead. South El Monte would get a chance to tie the game in the 32nd minute as Maranatha’s Goalkeeper, Tatum French, received a yellowcard in the box for colliding with an Eagles player. Stephanie Esparaza was chosen to take the penalty kick and favorably chose the left side of the net, bringing the Eagles even with the Minutemen 1-1. The second half star for South El Monte was their Goalkeeper, Lizbet Arana. She single-handedly kept the Eagles alive by holding the Minutemen scoreless until

the 77th minute, when Katy Coats happened. Coats (#9) received the ball on the left side of the field than began drifting towards the middle of the field. Coats saw an opening, took her shot and watched the ball soar over the goalie’s head, under the crossbar and into the back of the net, clinching the victory for Maranatha 2-1. The South El Monte Ea-

gles finished their season with a record of 12-5-2. They were the second seed coming out of the Mission Valley League, edging out a tied record with Marshall High School. Maranatha advances to the quarterfinals this Thursday, Feb. 26th against San Gorgonio at 5 p.m. San Gorgonio beat Duarte 2-0 in their previous match. It’s squaring up to be an exciting match.

Monrovia Beats St. Margaret’s 1-0, Advances to Second Round of CIF Playoffs By jacob bigley

The top seeded Monrovia Wildcats were the heavy favorite heading into Friday nights Division 6 CIF Playoff game against the St. Margaret’s Tartans of San Juan Capistrano. As the match proceeded, Monrovia continued to dominate every statistical category ranging from shot on goal to time of possession. Regardless of what the stat sheet may have shown, the Wild-

cats had a difficult time finding the back of the net. Their solitary goal came towards the end of the first half when Monrovia’s Chris Wong (#10), junior, broke on a through pass which resulted in a left footed score from the top of the box. Monrovia continued to attack, what seemed to be, a tired St. Margaret’s team with their spacing and unselfish passing. The Tartans kept

looking for a single opportunity to make a run at Monrovia’s net, however, their defensive minded play left their offensive stagnant. At the end of 80 minutes, Monrovia took home the long fought victory. The Wildcat’s next opponent is Linfield Christian (at Linfield), who beat Maranatha 3-2 in their first round. The next game was played Wednesday, Feb. 25th @ 5 p.m.

57th Season Opener for American Little League With a full house in attendance, city leadership present and all players in uniform and looking sharp, Arcadia American Little League opened its 57th season Saturday morning looking forward to great things ahead but also honoring its past. The family of Windsor Field icon George Windsor was on hand and helped throw out first pitches, as

did Arcadia Mayor John Wuo, Mayor Pro Tem Gary Kovacic, and former councilmen Mickey Segal and Peter Amundson. Bailey Shen helped honor America with a trumpet solo of the National Anthem and then AALL's 2014 District 17 All-Star 11-12 and 9-10 championship teams were asked to be recognized. Then it was time for some AALL baseball. In a spirited, well-played opening majors game, the Angels defeated the Twins, 3-1. Jake Miller's two-run single gave the Angels an early lead and Guy Gruppie, Jr.'s stellar, surprise 3 1/3-inning relief effort helped the Angels never relinquish it. The Angels turned a key double play, and Miller made a nice play at third to end Twin rallies but the game - Courtesy Photo still was not truly

decided until the final pitch. Kellen Gewecke's double put the tying runs in scoring position with two down in the bottom of the sixth before Michael Gruppie struck out the final batter in an intense final at-bat that had the crowd standing in excitement. Gewecke turned in a superb relief effort himself, Lance Wong had a double, and Nathan Mejia had an RBI hit for the Twins along with a great play at third base. Matt McIntire had a booming RBI double that nearly was a home run for the Angels and the Gruppie Bros. each had doubles, but the hitting star of the day was Halo slugger Mikey Easter, who was a perfect 3-for-3. Later, the AALL Mariners defeated the Arcadia National Cubs as Julian Eskridge dominated on the mound. The big righthander struck nine in three innings of work as the Mariners breezed, 12-0. In minors action, the AALL Dodgers beat the AALL Red Sox, 12-2, as Jackson Hisey and Jimmy Wilcox combined for five hits.

Maranatha Cruises Past St. Genevieve to Advance to CIF Semifinals

Continued from page 10

Feb. 18

By Vincent Nguyen The playoffs are the real deal, and coming as far as the quarterfinals only means the road will become more difficult for some. But for the Maranatha High School boys’ basketball team, it seems like just another regular season game. Senior guard Tyler Dorsey recorded yet another 40 point night, while junior guard Sean Romero added 17 as they helped Maranatha book a place in the CIF division 4A semifinals after thoroughly defeating the St. Genevieve Valiants 80-59 on Feb. 24. Dorsey went 10 for 12 from the field, 14 for 16 at the free throw line and 2 for 7 from downtown on the way to his 40 points, while Romero sank five 3-pointers during Tuesday night’s win. “I have my teammates who have my back and who trust me, and that makes everything even better,” said Romero. “I’m thankful for the time out because I got really hyped. You can’t control your shot, but you can control your effort.” The Minutemen lead 2110 at the end of the first quarter as Dorsey accumulated 13 points within the first eight minutes. Romero’s hot 3-point streak was highlighted in the

second quarter as the junior sank every distance shot with ease, giving head coach Tim Tucker and the Minutemen some breathing space. “Sean stretched the lead out and made it comfortable for us, and then we just rode it out,” said Tucker. “It’s a good win and we’re glad we’re moving on.” Despite the lead stretching to 19 at one point, Maranatha closed out the half 43-29 with a late second quarter rally from the Valiants. “We knew eventually our defense would kick in and they played hard,” said the Maranatha head coach. “You got to give the coach and the team credit because they came out to play.” The Minutemen were outscored 14-15 through a foul-ridden third quarter, but still kept their healthy doubledigit lead all the way until the end of the game. The lead stretched to 30 in the fourth quarter after Dorsey notched his pair of free-throws. The Valiants attempted a late rally, but the lead was too much to overcome. Although Maranatha advanced to the semifinals, Tucker believes his team still has work to do on the way to

the final. “We won by 21 but we didn’t play the way we needed to play in order to win a cham-

pionship,” said Tucker. “We got a couple of days to get ready for the semis and we’ll go from there.”

Shortly before 4:00 a.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to the 200 block of Idaho Street regarding calls of shots fired. On arrival, officers located a parked vehicle with several bullet holes. Officers contained the area and secured the vehicle, which may belong to a gang affiliate. A few minutes later, the department received reports of shots fired near Coniston Road and Forest Avenue. PPD officers in the area responded quickly; however, they did not locate any evidence of a shooting. As in many of the other cases we are investigating, PPD officers located witnesses; however, they are uncooperative or unwilling to provide information about the incident. Our investigation is ongoing.

At about 10:51 p.m., Special Enforcement (SES) Officers McGlade and Weiker observed Henderson standing near Mountain Street and Sunset Avenue. Knowing he was wanted for a Grand Theft Auto investigation, the officer approached him. When Henderson saw the officers, he fled on foot. Officers McGlade and Weiker chased Henderson to the area of Sunset Avenue and Yale Street and subsequently contained the area. Henderson was found a few moments later and arrested without incident.

At about 1:12 a.m., Pasadena Police Officers Tavera and Orosco were on routine patrol in a marked police car when they observed a vehicle fail to stop for a flashing red light at Glen Avenue and Washington Boulevard. The officers activated their emergency equipment and attempted to stop the vehicle; however, the driver failed to yield. Officers initiated a vehicle pursuit travelling north on Lincoln Avenue and West on Howard Street, ultimately entering the 210 freeway. The suspect vehicle collided into the shoulder of the roadway near the 210 and 134 Freeway split. Both suspects (Male Hispanic and Female adults) were extracted from the vehicle and taken into custody without incident. The suspects did not display any visible injures nor did they complain of pain. Nevertheless, as a precaution, the suspects were transported to a local hospital for medical evaluation. Traffic was extremely light at the time of the pursuit. Our subsequent investigation determined the vehicle was stolen. Officers Tavera and Orosco also found two additional stolen vehicles in the area where the pursuit was initiated. There is evidence suggesting that the three stolen vehicle are connected.

West Coast Port Employers, Dockworkers Reach Tentative 5 Year Deal After 9 Month Dispute

American Plus Bank N.A. 5-Star Bank

By Courtney Alexander On Feb. 20, a large group of shipping companies and a small yet powerful union, representing 20,000 dockworkers, came to a five year labor agreement after nine months of negotiations that had heavy economic impact on multiple industries across the country. The dispute threatened to shut down 29 ports, including ports in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Seattle, Tacoma, and San Diego, with a potential loss of $2 billion a day to the U.S. economy, according to Reuters. Combined, the 29 ports handle about 25% percent of U.S. international trade. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union, the dockworkers union, and the Pacific Maritime Association, representing shipping companies and port terminal operators, came to the end of their previous contract in July of 2014. Negotiations began to take a turn for the worst, when workers and employers began blaming each other for difficulty getting imports and exports to their destinations. Employers said that dockworkers were leveraging by slowing their work rates and withholding the most skilled workers. Union members denied the claim, saying that the congestion was due to dysfunctional operations at West Coast ports that started before contract negotiations began. For weeks, ships have been sitting in in port waters, waiting to be loaded or un-

loaded. This month, the problem was made much worse, when the Pacific Maritime Association stopped all loading and unloading of ships. Fruits and vegetables bound for China began to rot, while clothing retailers waited on supplies that never came. Even Honda said, last Monday, that it would "stop or reduce production on multiple days" at six facilities because of parts shortages. The North American Meat Institute reported that it was losing $85 million a week due to meat sitting in freezers, waiting to be exported. As of last week, prior to the tentative deal, the two sides had come to agreements on most major issues under dispute, including health care benefits, salaries and the maintenance of truck chassis used to move containers. The last major point being disputed was that of arbitration. According to the PMA, the union wanted the right to unilaterally remove any of the four West Coast at the end of contract periods. These neutral arbitrators oversee disputes between the Pacific Maritime Association and workers. The PMA believed that giving the union the right to fire arbitrators when their contracts are over would make arbitrators open to intimidation. "The ILWU is essentially seeking the right to fire judges who rule against them," PMA spokesman Wade Gates said in a statement. The Obama Administra-

tion ordered Secretary of Labor, Thomas Perez, to oversee negotiation talks in San Francisco last week. Perez threatened to take both sides back to Washington to resolve the matter, if a deal was not made by Friday. Ultimately, a deal was struck on Friday, creating a new system for choosing arbitrators. “I don’t think anyone knows who the next arbitrator will be,” Perez said. “What I do know, and have great confidence in, is the new arbitration system is going to ensure that everybody gets a fair shake.” More specific details about the agreement have not yet been released. The problems at the ports are not yet over. Members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the full Pacific Maritime Association must now approve the contract. According to Perez, the steering committee of the ILWU has already unanimously approved the contract, and he has confidence that the rest of the members will do the same. Additionally, it will take six to eight weeks for West Coast ports to get back to normal, due to the enormous cargo backlog, according to the Port of Oakland and the National Retail Federation. "I suspect that people will be getting a lot of overtime in the days ahead,” said Perez.

Santa Anita Park, which has undergone extensive modernization and renovation projects over the past three years, has been awarded the prestigious “Best Hospitality Project” award for 2015 by the Los Angeles Business Journal—long considered metropolitan Los Angeles’s leading chronicler of business innovation, activity and investment. “When this award was announced Tuesday night, it seemed to send a jolt through the audience, which included the biggest players in L.A.’s design, development, real estate finance and brokerage communities,” said Billy Lehman, who on behalf of the Stronach Group and its West Coast Chairman Keith Brackpool, oversaw modernization

upgrades to several areas at the track, including Santa Anita’s new luxury suites, the box seat area, mezzanine, Club House Terrace, Eddie Logan Suite and Chandelier Room. (Under Lehman’s direction, AvroKO Design and

Shawmut Design and Construction Corporation were key players in all facets of Santa Anita’s redevelopment efforts). For more information on racing, group or specialty events, please visit santaanita.com.

Pasadena Sandwich Company Celebrates 20 Years Mar. 6 By terry miller If you’re lucky enough to have stepped into Pasadena Sandwich Company recently, you will have noticed the remarkable family team that is PSC. In fact, once you’ve met the members of this family you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t feel like they are part of this extraordinary extended family too. Grandma Doris Fink, 99 this August, supported her husband Burt who had a dream: 20 years and three generations later, the original recipes are still being used and business is still going strong. March 2015 celebrates 20 years serving others where the Fink family served healthy and nutritious meals to customers and where they have watched those customers marry and have children – treating customers as family like their father, Stephen Fink, had always done himself. Stephen, who passed away of Amyloidosis in 2010 (a very rare blood condition), started Pasadena Sandwich Company based on raising a family. His three daughters and son have carried on the art of crafting sandwiches after being mentored by their father since the creation of PSC in 1995. Meghan Fink, along with her siblings Kaytee, Nicole and Jon, owns Pasadena Sandwich Company. They are the third generation to own and operate these NY-styled deli/restaurants. Their grandparents started this style of deli/ restaurant in the 1950s and would cook the meats and make the salads at home and then drive them to a store front and make sandwiches for their community in Pomona.

The Finks are sticklers for tradition and quality so things pretty much run like their grandparents ran the business in the 1950s: Like cooking their meats inhouse and preparing homemade salads fresh daily. Steve’s children have also created the “Big Steve” sandwich and the Stephen E Fink Memorial Fund which supports community and the Amyloidosis Foundation through donations for research towards a cure of this rare disease. Grandma Fink lives in West Covina but still is kept appraised of the family business, which she started in the 1950s. Family members behind the counter include Meghan Fink, Kaytee Fink, Nicole Rasmussen, and Jonathan Fink. Longtime employees who have stayed alongside the Fink family include Doris Cheng

and Reina Silva. The Fink family also gives back to the community that has supported them for so many years. On Thanksgiving, Pasadena Firefighters and the Fink family prepare food and fill blessing (gift) bags and serve over 300 meals to families in Pasadena who are transitioning from homelessness to selfsufficiency. Most are preidentified by the Pasadena Unified School District. Stop by March 6 to see these wonderful young people in action … following their hearts, grandparents’ and father’s dream to make the best sandwiches in the Valley, probably in Los Angeles … maybe even the world! The Pasadena Sandwich Company is located at 259 Sierra Madre Villa, just north of Foothill Blvd. and the 210 freeway.

If you have wanted to learn more about African mountain gorillas in their natural setting, then you are invited to follow the adventures of two experienced travelers to Africa when they speak at the Monday evening, March 9th meeting of the Arcadia Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). Travel partners Kathy Symons, retired professor of Art History at Rio Hondo College, and Joanna Liang, past president of the Arcadia Chinese Association (ACA), enjoy exotic adventure travels to Africa and are pleased to share their September 2014 gorilla experiences in Rwanda and Uganda with others. The March 9th meeting of the Arcadia Branch will take place at the Church of the Good Shepherd’s Jordan Hall, 400 W. Duarte Road (SW corner of Duarte Road and Holly Avenue), Arcadia. Socializing begins at 6:30 p.m. with the traveler’s power-point presentation to follow at 7:00 p.m. The public is invited to this free

program. This is a good opportunity to hear first-hand about the forces that are depleting the wild gorilla population and what conservationists in Africa are doing to protect the endangered species. An underlying inspiration for this East Africa trip was primatologist Dian Fossey’s 1983 book “Gorillas in the Mist.” Symons had wanted to fulfill a life-long dream of seeing gorillas in the wild for herself. Liang agreed with the plan, so off they went to Virunga National Park in Rwanda and Uganda to follow in Dian Fossey’s footsteps. Symons will tell about trekking up a steep mountain side to see the gorillas with two porters helping her and almost carrying her at times! Liang will relate how surprised she was to see that the city streets in Rwanda and Uganda were clean and neat with lovely landscaping. Both women enjoyed visiting local people in their villages and learning about their history and culture. For information about

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.

California Has Nation’s Highest Statewide Child Poverty Rate; State Should Fund Child Care and Preschool Subsidies for Struggling Families Supplemental Poverty Measure Shows California Child Poverty Cut 13% by Investment in Quality Programs A new KIDS COUNT® Data Snapshot released Feb. 25 by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Measuring Access to Opportunity in the United States, shows that California has the highest child poverty rate in the nation at 27%, a full five percentage points higher than #2-ranked states Arizona and Nevada. This stark picture of struggling California kids and families adds urgency to the need for increased investments in quality programs such as subsidized child care and preschool, as well as supports like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The most recent Supplemental Poverty Measure, which accounts for public assistance, was released by the US Census Bureau late last year. It shows that federal

safety net programs and tax subsidies like the EITC effectively reduced the child poverty rate by 13% in California and by nearly half nationally. High-quality government programs are proven to help struggling families work their way out of poverty, and California must do its part to help children facing economic challenges in their early years. Ted Lempert, president of Children Now, says that California’s high child poverty rate means state officials should act quickly to support investments such as highquality early childhood programs. “Having 27% of our kids living in poverty simply is not acceptable,” he said. “We know that full-time infant and child care is an incredibly bur-

densome expense for working families, costing up to 71% of a minimum-wage earner’s salary. Our state’s leaders need to prioritize investments that will lift kids out of poverty and ensure we don’t have report results like this one down the road.” Half of children in California are born into low-income families and will experience financial hardship in the critical first five years of development. For kids facing these challenges early childhood programs, including high-quality child care and preschool, can help change the trajectory of their lives. California should invest in preschool and early child care to ensure our kids’ future well-being, and their ability to contribute to our state’s prosperity.

Los Angeles Public Library Named Finalist for National Medal for Museum and Library Service Award The Los Angeles Public Library has been named a finalist for the National Medal award, the nation’s highest honor given to a library or museum by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The award is given to institutions in recognition of service to the community and for making a difference in the lives of individuals, families and communities. IMLS is encouraging people to share their story about how the Los Angeles Public Library makes an impact on their lives by posting their story on the IMLS Facebook page, www. fa c e b o o k . c o m / U S I M LS . People are encouraged to post their stories on March 13 when the Los Angeles Public Library will be featured on the IMLS Facebook page or anytime from Feb. 24 through April 7. People without access to Facebook can share their story by emailing it to the library at pubinfo@lapl. org. The Los Angeles Public Library is among 30 finalists that were chosen because of their significant

and exceptional contributions to their communities. Medal finalists are selected from nationwide nominations of institutions that demonstrate innovative approaches to public service, exceeding the expected levels of community outreach. IMLS will announce 10 National Medal winners for 2014 this spring. “The Los Angeles Public Library is honored to be selected as a finalist for this prestigious award,” said City Librarian John F. Szabo, “and to be recognized by IMLS for the library’s success in empowering our diverse communities and delivering innovative services that help all residents of Los Angeles reach their goals.” The Los Angeles Public Library serves the largest and most diverse population in the nation—more than 4 million people— through its Central Library, 72 branches, collection of more than 6 million books, web-based resources at www.lapl.org and more than 18,000 public programs a year. The library is recognized for its innovative pro-

grams including those that help people manage their personal finances, earn their high school diploma, take the first step on their path to citizenship, and access information about health and well-being including understanding the options and enrolling in the Affordable Care Act. Other notable programs build early literacy, provide live homework help, and offer job assistance. Through these and many other programs and services, the Los Angeles Public Library is meeting the needs of Los Angeles residents and providing a level of social, cultural and educational services unmatched by any other public institution in the city. IMLS is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums.

New Training Tool for School Workers to Report Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect Last Monday, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced the availability of an online tool to help school employees receive the annual training they need to identify and report suspected cases of child abuse and/ or neglect. “Nothing is more important than the safety of our students,” said Torlakson. “The new online training lessons will help school employees carry out their responsibilities to protect children and take action if they suspect abuse or neglect.” Starting this year, Assembly Bill 1432 (Assemblyman Mike Gatto, D-Los Angeles), which was strongly supported by Torlakson, requires every local educational agency (LEA) to train

all its employees each year on what they need to know in order to identify and report suspected cases of child abuse and/or neglect. “All employees” is defined as teachers, teacher’s aides, classified employees, and all other workers whose duties bring them into direct contact and supervision of students. LEAs must also develop a process to provide proof that employees received training. The California Department of Social Services, with input from the California Department of Education (CDE), created the online Child Abuse Mandated Reporting Training lessons. These teach school employees how to identify suspected cases of child abuse and/ or neglect, the obligation they have to make a report,

and the appropriate process to follow when making the report. The self-paced lessons are continuously available at no charge to the public. The CDE also updated its Child Abuse Prevention webpage (http://www.cde. ca.gov/ls/ss/ap/) to provide LEAs with resources on training, reporting guidelines, and procedures, and other information to create safe environments for children. Torlakson has long urged LEAs to provide school employees with training on the duties of reporting child abuse and/or neglect long before it became mandated. His support for AB 1432 was part of his “A Blueprint for Great Schools” initiative, designed to meet the needs of the whole child.

The Pasadena Museum of History Junior Docent Program They’re artists, entertainers, scientists and worldtravelers. These words describe the former occupants of this glorious mansion on the southwest corner of Walnut Street and Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena’s famed Millionaires’ Row. Now the Pasadena Museum of History, this Beaux Arts mansion was designed by architect Robert Farquhar and built in 1906 when Eva Scott and her husband, Dr. Adalbert Fenyes, downsized. Their first Pasadena home was a 33room Moorish mansion complete with stuffed peacock, a far grander residence than this mere 18-room house. It was home to four generations of the Fenyes clan until 1973. I learned about the remarkable Fenyes family one Friday morning when I joined a group of 3rd graders from Roosevelt Elementary as our junior docent, K.C. Young, from Marshall Fundamental School, told us the story of Eva and the doctor. K.C. led us to a child’s bedroom on the second floor where she showed us an elaborate doll’s house and then to the master bedroom where a vanity held Eva’s grooming items, like her brush etched with the distinctive Fenyes crest. We went downstairs to the studio where an ancient Victrola shares pride of place with a grand piano. Eva played four instruments – guitar, piano, mandolin, and violin -- and entertained extensively. They staged elaborate shows here and at one end of the room, a staircase leads to a platform where an orchestra played the musical accompaniment for performances and parties. It was also where Eva painted her portraits and landscapes. Eva’s wide circle of friends included many artists and her home became the salon and meeting place for the flourishing art colony in young Pasadena. Our group’s last stop was the kitchen where

we inspected the stove, icebox, bread toaster, irons, and even an old Bissell rug cleaner, the precursor to a household staple: the vacuum cleaner. We were all intrigued by the “call box,” which had the names and rooms of the various occupants of the mansion. The Fenyeses summoned their servants using this contraption, a more “modern” version of the one American audiences see when they watch Downton Abbey on television. K.C. Young is one of 31 junior docents for the Pasa-

20th century, and how these contrast with the present day. He has been spearheading this program for 14 years and is proud with what it offers -- a rare opportunity for students to teach other students in a way that is quite different from how other tours are conducted. In the fall, a select group of 7th and 8th graders undergo seven two-hour sessions on Wednesday afternoons. They learn everything there is to know about the mansion, its former occupants and all

Junior Docent tour guides get last minute instructions from PMH Education Program Coordinator Brad Macneil as they prepare to lead younger students on tours of Fenyes Mansion.

dena Museum of History. The Junior Docent Program began in 1988 as a collaborative project between PMH and Pasadena public and private schools. Through its peer-teaching method, exceptional students in 7th and 8th grade develop skills in leadership, time management, and public speaking. It fulfills the social studies standards mandated by the state and offers students an early introduction to community service. According to Brad Macneil, PMH’s Education Program Coordinator, his challenge is getting young kids excited about life and culture in Pasadena at the turn of the

Periodontal disease is one of the most underdiagnosed and undertreated health issues. Periodontal disease has adverse effects in all aspects of overall health (arthritis, heart disease, COPD, gastrointestinal, Alzheimer’s, etc...) Over 47% of people 35 years and older have periodontal disease (64% of those people are 65 years and older). It’s imperative to seek a professional to evaluate your status. As a board certified periodontist with 30+ years’ experience, and an associate professor at Loma Linda School of Dentistry Graduate Periodontics, I am at the forefront of treatment options to evaluate your periodontal status.

the prized collections housed in this grand residence. Upon completing their course, these young docents give their first tour to their families. They are then tasked with leading tours for 3rd and 4th graders of PUSD in late winter and spring; junior docents give several tours in the duration of their term. Senior docents accompany them during their interactive tours to evaluate and

coach them to perfect their touring skills. However, they don’t have memorized scripts to follow; they conduct tours the way that is comfortable for them. The day I was there, my first guide, K.C. Young, was the storyteller who engaged me and the 3rd graders with her inimitable enthusiasm and verve. I took a second tour and my guide Preston Kealing was the learned professor who taught me and 4th graders from Jefferson Elementary School how the Fenyeses’ remarkable personalities permeated Pasadena society and influenced the world of politics. K.C. and Preston had very different styles of imparting knowledge, yet they both conveyed the Fenyeses’ significant contribution to Pasadena’s culture and history. At the end of the morning’s tours, all students and their docents gathered at the foyer where we all shared what we thought was the most interesting part of the experience. Asked what some students would like to take with them from 1906 to 2015, some said they would take the doll house, or the monkey cage, or the Victrola. While they each had a different idea of what was most memorable about this mansion, they all agreed that it had been a fun way to learn. I was amazed at how much I learned from 12- and 13-year-old students; I left the Fenyes mansion more aware and enlightened than when I first arrived. I am convinced the Junior Docent Program is as much a valuable Pasadena treasure as any mansion on Millionaires’ Row.

Schools to Update School Safety Plans by March 1 Deadline

Schools have until Mar. 1 to review and update comprehensive school safety plans that include policies for dealing with issues ranging from bullying to disaster preparedness, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said last week. California Education Code Section 32286 requires each school site to review and update its school safety plan by Mar. 1 of each year. These plans must have policies that deal with crime, safety, child abuse reporting procedures, disaster preparedness, emergency shelters, discrimination, harassment, intimidation, bullying, hate crimes, toxic substances, and more. The CDE has created online tools to help guide schools
