Pasadena City College Courier Celebrates 100th Anniversary The Pasadena City College Courier, one of the oldest studentrun community college newspapers in the state, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this month. From the first black and white newsprint issue released Feb. 4, 1915 - when the college was still a high school - to where it stands today as a weekly publication distributed in both printed and digital formats, the Courier has been an integral part of PCC's long and storied history. "I think it's fantastic that it's not only lasted this long, but it's considered one of the best student newspapers in the state," said Mikki Bolliger, a retired PCC journalism professor who served as advisor to the Courier from 1973 to 2009. To commemorate the milestone, the Courier and the PCC SEE PG. 14
“CNA - NO WAY!” was the repeated chant while officials and nurses from California Nurses Association attempted to speak at a press conference called by the CNA last Thursday morning. Scores of nurses, community leaders and union officials quarreled outside Huntington Memorial Hospital Thursday over the 10-month attempt to get nurses at Huntington to vote on unionizing. The confrontations occurred when anti-union employees attempted to quell the voices of the California Nurses Association, which initially called the press conference. Organizers were upset that the anti-union nurses and ancillary staff essentially rained on their parade. “I absolutely do not want or need union representation,” Vandy Uphoff, RN, told Pasa-

Residents Respond to Cancellation of China Tour by Arcadia Council
Thank you for clearing up the many questions that I personally had in my mind. I think the City feels that they are being attacked and yes everyone should keep an open mind however it is very hard to not question these donations. Last week I read Mr. Lazaretto stating he could not confirm whether Wuo had asked for the donations or if they were given to the City unsolicited. Today Mr. Wuo states himself that he is friends with Donor 1, 2, and 3. And Donor 3 states today he “recalled that Wuo asked him to donate several months ago for the trip.” I cannot help to question all of this considering Mr. Wuo was soliciting for donations several months ago! I have to disagree that there is prejudice in the scrutiny that is placed on what is currently occurring in the City of Arcadia. It is not prejudice if I’m concerned that Chinese companies who are personal friends of the City Mayor are making donations to the city compared to a donation that comes in from Westfield Santa Anita Park. There are many Asian residents living in Arcadia who know how the system works in Asia and cannot help but fear it is here too. Thank you Mr. Wuo for understanding the questions your City has. I appreciate it and I’m sure many others do too. -S. M. Tao

via ArcadiaWeekly.com Gosh I think it’s great that we are sending our elected officials on education trips. I remember we had similar doubters when the Kanamits invited large groups of citizens of the San Gabriel Valley to visit. Yes, there was skepticism, but the ones that wrote back said that the food and accommodations were great, and many of them even gained weight on the trip. -Lucky Baldwin via ArcadiaWeekly.com Nothing is being ruined when corruption is kept out of Arcadia. China is one of the most corrupt countries in the world—just look at the revelations and news of arrests of the big “Tigers” almost every day coming out of China. There is an assumption when Chinese immigrate to this country they are trying to get away from the massive corruption and pollution which soil every endeavor. If the purpose of their immigration is to bring that corruption with them and spread it around here, we should request they return to their paradise and stop trying to destroy our country with their culture. Fortunately there are people like S.M.

Effective Feedback By Dorothy Denne
Just Sayin’ (I dedicate the following e-mail chuckles to my two favorite pastors, Joshua and Phil.) A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!" His father smiled and replied, "Okay, what does the Bible mean?" "That's easy, Daddy,” the young boy replied excitedly, "It stands for Basic Information Before Leaving Earth." ****** There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country. "Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk. "Only the Ten Commandments," answered the lady. ****** Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good Lord, it's morning.” ****** A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses." When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket, I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation." ****** There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets." ****** A Sunday school teacher began her lesson with a question, "Boys and girls, what do we know about God?” A hand shot up in the
air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergarten boy. "Really? How do you know?" the teacher asked. "You know -Our Father who does art in Heaven." ****** A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. "Reverend, I'm so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip." The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my business." ****** Sunday after church, a mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt." Needless to say, Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about. He said, "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming." ****** Last, but not least, a great one: The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play. "Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently, "but you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances." During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we are need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up." At that moment the substitute organist played "The Star Spangled Banner." And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!

istakes happen. That’s the way of life and that’s the way of work. More often than not, employees don’t set out to intentionally make a mistake. That being said, though, when errors occur it is valuable to talk with the employee to prevent the issue from repeating itself. Having an open, honest and frank conversation can help get the employee back on track. It can also reveal if there are any internal impediments within the organization that contributed to the mistake. Before talking with the employee, try to gather as much information as is reasonable. That way, you’ll have a fairly good understanding of what seemed to have happened. Remember though, that until you talk with the employee you won’t have the full picture. Meet with the employee in a private place, perhaps your office or a conference room, where interruptions and distractions will be at a minimum. Open the conversation by letting him or her know that you want to talk
about a mistake that has apparently occurred. Be sure to convey that you also want to hear their side of the story, too. It’s important to not take a judgmental or accusatory approach because that will only put the employee on the defense. Briefly tell them what the issue is and then ask for their side of the story. Let’s say for example that the monthly inventory report, for which the employee is responsible, had several errors resulting in certain products being out of stock because the report erroneously showed a surplus. Now that you’ve briefly laid out the problem ask the employee for their side of the story. Listen from an open frame of mind. Be sure to find out if there are any organizational barriers that contributed to the mistake. For instance, maybe the inventory software crashed or another employee stocked inventory in the wrong place and it therefore was miscounted. It’s also important to discuss the impact of the mistake. Some mistakes cause relatively little impact while
others are significant. In the case of our inventory example, the impact might be that customer orders were delayed or even that sales were down because customers went elsewhere to get what they needed. Next, explore solutions with the employee to prevent the error from occurring in the future. It’s particularly helpful for the employee to come up with their own solutions because this fosters their buy-in and commitment. Be sure to clearly recap the solution to ensure commitment and joint understanding. Finally, it’s helpful to summarize your conversation in an email or memo to the employee afterwards. This helps ensure clear communication and can serve as a step in performance management should the mistake be repeated.

Exciting New Lasers In the Dental Office By Kenneth Canzoneri The use of lasers in my dental office has opened up a variety of treatment options for my patients. We can treat tooth decay and gum disease, recontour or reshape the gums and address joint and muscle pain as well as lessen the pain of canker sores with the laser. One of the latest most exciting developments is that we now have the ability to smooth fine lines around the lip area, giving the patient a more youthful look. In most cases a laser can be used to remove decay with No pain, No drill, and No shot. Although a laser cannot be used to remove metallic fillings, I personally have not had to give a dental injection to do a filling on a front tooth in a number of years! The use of Dental Lasers have become a more effective way to manage gum disease in conjunction with more classic dental therapy, giving great results. Gum recontouring can help people who want to change the appearance of uneven gums or too much gum when they smile. A qualified dentist can quickly correct this problem in one appointment without sutures or scalpels. The healing properties of the laser allows for a quick recovery.
Another advancing field in dentistry is that of Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT. It is a way to use a specific type of laser to promote healing and relieve pain. In dentistry we can use LLLT to treat patients who have pain in the jaw joint or surrounding muscles, this in conjunction with standard dental treatments will aid in diminishing the TMJ pain. The new SmoothLase laser is used to tighten and smooth the tissue around the lips there by lessening the appearance of fine lines without any down time or pain. The SmoothLase is used in a series of three, 30 minute appointments that will reduce the fine lines around the mouth. There are No shots, No incisions, No pain and you can continue with your day to day business without missing a beat. The results will take place gradually over time and give you a more youthful look. Dr. Kenneth J Canzoneri maintains a private dental practice in Arcadia California. He is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, The Academy of General Dentistry and has attained Mastership in the World Clinical Laser Institute. To schedule an appointment or for more information call (626) 446-1679.

JUJUBE & ELLE Female Calicos Born 2013 These two cuties, BFFs, are about the same age. ELLE was born 9/2013 and JUJUBE was born 5/2013. Both girls are sweet, friendly, and playful. They are not related, but they are very bonded. Elle has the bolder calico coloring. They were adopted together as kittens but early this year had to be returned, due to their human's severe allergies. For these reasons, we wish to keep these two healthy girls happy and together.

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.

Curtain up on a little pit bull puppy, shaking with fear, who was saved from euthanasia by an adoption. The grey puppy, named Greycee, was very well-mannered, sweet, and loved everyone she met-a trademark of well-handled pitties. You would think this would be her happily-everafter ending. Not. The adopter began to abuse drugs, and chose to live homeless. She asked a friend, Holly, to keep Greycee. Holly, a huge animal lover, agreed; however, she lived in a condo complex and there was no place for Greycee to run, which she absolutely adored doing. Holly decided to post Greycee for adoption. A woman from Barstow saw the post and contacted Holly, who drove Greycee out to meet her. The woman immediately fell in love. Everything checked out, and Greycee was adopted. A happy ending yet? Not. After several months, this woman, too, became homeless and did not want Greycee to experience that type of life. Back she went to Holly. Holly reposted the ad and was quickly contacted by a mother and daughter in Burbank who were interested in fostering, with option to later adopt. They had a large front yard where Greycee could run, and the daughter could walk her daily. Even with a serious skin allergy Greycee had developed, which required strong meds and a special shampoo three times a week, the mother agreed to deal with the issue, and to take Greycee to the
dermatologist each month. The womanʼs fiance liked Greycee, too, and called her his “blue dog,” because blue is pet lingo for grey. Finally a happy ending? Afraid not so. After some time, the foster mom notified Holly that she was moving in with her fiance. While he liked Greycee, he did not want her to live with them in their new home. Holly decided to give adoption one more try. She knew she needed to be extremely careful. Sweet Greycee deserved to be in a loving, secure home where she would become a permanent part of the family. Although Greyceeʼs skin condition was not cleared up, she still had
looking for a sister for her. In addition, the couple had retired from medical backgrounds, and were now into homeopathic medicine and clean eating. Zoka was on a “raw food diet” and was doing very well. They would put Greycee on the same diet, which would hopefully help her terrible skin allergies, and put her on essential oils to help her detox from all the previous strong meds. Holly had known two other people who had their dogs on raw food diets, and both dogs were very healthy. All of Greyceeʼs food would be organic, and come directly from the farm. After several discussions, Holly drove Greycee to
a wonderful spirit. Yet, how long could she hold out? Hollyʼs love and concern werenʼt enough. Soon, Holly was contacted by a retired couple in Oregon. They own a 53 acre farm where Greycee could run to her heartʼs content. They had an Italian Mastiff named Zoka, and they were
Oregon. Would three times be the charm? The family was lovely, and the dog, Zoka, appeared to like Greycee, who was so excited when she met her! The farm was huge, with green hills all around. After just a few hours, everyone seemed to have bonded. Holly left with a good feeling. Since that day, Zoka and Greycee have developed an amazing bond. They sleep together, they “protect the farm,” and, when they visited friendsʼ dogs for the first time, Zoka immediately got in between Greycee and the other dogs to protect Greycee until everything seemed fine. Greycee now swims in the pond and retrieves toys, just like the other dogs. She obviously does not realize she is not a retriever, but a pit bull! She is at peace and takes things in stride. With her happiness, new diet, and essential oils, her skin condition has greatly improved, and will continue to do so. A happy ending? Absolutely!! Curtain down--and say goodnight, Greycee!

Or, just as bad, if you sell first, you could end up homeless. It’s what insiders in the industry call the Real Estate Catch 22, and it’s an extremely anxious position to be in.

Star Trek Actor Leonard Nimoy “Mr. Spock” Dead at 83

eonard Nimoy, the actor who was perhaps best known as Mr. Spock, the commonsensical human-alien officer of the Starship Enterprise in the television “Star Trek,” died on Friday morning at his home in the Bel Air, Los Angeles. He was 83. His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed his death, saying the cause was endstage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Mr. Nimoy announced that he had the disease last year, attributing it to years of smoking, a habit he had given up three decades earlier. He had been hospitalized earlier in the week.

the case. The easements traveled with the Titles to the property, along the paved road. In our last meeting with Oliver, the Mayor was present. At NO time was it ever mentioned that perhaps Steve Pokrajac should be given the option to buy his property back, instead of allowing the legal access to the property he sold to be zoned Wilderness Preserve. Steve has kept this property to himself, never paying a penny of property taxes on it since he “sold” it to the City. We were told that talks were taking place with the previous owner of that WP property about allowing access to the Public WP Property. We were told that there was another owner to contact … but that was never explained? We were told that by February 28th there would be some resolution. I agreed to that. Why would you, the Mayor and the Council, give your staff direction to deceive us, the citizens requesting our legal right to property we are paying for? You did this by directing City Manager Oliver Chi to introduce to Mr. Pokrajac the option of changing his mind about selling property that he eagerly prepared for sale to be included with the first Grant from the WCB of the State. There is very little doubt that Steve now wants to develop this prime gnatcatcher habitat property. The Citizens voted overwhelmingly to tax themselves to prevent development of our foothills. This does indeed seem to speak huge volumes to the NEED for a CHANGE! I am not at all sure we have enough options…. Sincerely, -Dorothy Kelty
Nurses Just Say ‘No Thanks’ to Union
VISIT
Dear Editor: May I introduce myself? My name is Gisela Baltazar I have been a staff RN at Huntington Hospital
for over nine years, going on ten. I was a travel nurse when I moved to California. My first assignment was in Good Samaritan Hospital; I stayed there for about four years. I liked this hospital. I was offered a full-time job and was promoted to be a charge nurse. It took me a week to accept the position because I only have threeto-four years’ of experience in acute care. And being a charge nurse to nurses who have had over 20-35 years’ experience. The reason I am telling you this is that, this institution is a CNA hospital. I actually lost my job there; I was “sabotaged” and petitioned out as an incompetent nurse. The best part? Most of my co-workers were Filipinos. I thought that we would be working hand-and-hand. I was called in by the Director. I did not get the chance to ask for a union representation because I did not know that I could get one. So I was requested to resign. Imagine! I was the breadwinner in the family. I was devastated by what happened. Three days after I was asked to leave I received an “open house” invitation from Huntington Hospital and was hired on the spot. This is one of the reasons I do not want the union in this hospital. The culture of a unionized institution is different: the seniority prevails, they can bully and they can remove you from your work if they do not like you. The culture at Huntington is AWESOME. Staff works with each other, we have great respect from ancillary staff to management. We may not be perfect but of all the hospitals that I worked in California as a travel nurse, there is nothing LIKE HUNTINGTON HOSPITAL. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to hear us out. Sincerely Yours, -Gisela Baltazar
Dear Editor: I hope that employees will give careful thought to the decision to unionize Huntington Hospital. Personally, I am against it.
Here is my reasoning: -If Huntington is unionized, all will be forced to join. There will be a substantial union fee deducted from every employee’s paycheck each month. -Unions take away the individual’s freedom of choice. Unions take employees’ money and contribute to causes with which they may not agree. This, in turn, can lead to political corruption. -Since complaints will, of necessity, be dealt with via a long administrative process, unionized employees will tend to become complacent. Patient care may suffer, and Huntington’s reputation as one of the finest hospitals in the area will be damaged. -Unions make it much more difficult to dismiss problem employees. Unions create a seniority basis for salaries and job status, which invites carelessness and arrogance. -Unions tend to see employees as a group. Individual needs and concerns are stifled “for the greater good.” -Union demands would raise the already sky-rocketing costs of hospitalization for patients. -Huntington has always been generous with their employees. We have long enjoyed the feeling of a family of employees. We are recognized for long service, given Christmas parties, and enjoy other benefits financed completely by the hospital. If Huntington is unionized, a poisonous “employee vs. administration” atmosphere could well result. -Unionization may well lead to strikes, rancorous picketing, and loss of salary while striking. Individual freedom is again lost. Even those who are satisfied with working conditions would be forced to walk picket lines. Proper patient care during such times would be diminished. -The costs of unionization would make it more difficult for Huntington administrators to expand and improve hospital facilities. -I have worked at Huntington Hospital for twentyeight years, and have been satisfied with the working conditions there. Those that are not certainly have PLEASE SEE PG. 11

State Issues 110,000 Driver's Licenses to Illegal Immigrants California has handed out 110,000 driver's licenses to immigrants in the country illegally during the first seven weeks of applications, according to the Associated Press. The figures for all of January and much of February were released this week by the state's Department of Motor Vehicles. In early January when the law took effect, hundreds of immigrants lined up at designated DMV offic-
es for walk-in appointments. The applicants have to submit documents and take a written test, and later, they must take a road test. They receive licenses that read "not acceptable for official federal purposes" like boarding planes. California expects to issue 1.4 million driver's licenses to immigrants over the next three years under the program to license drivers regardless of their immigration status.

Savannah Memorial Park Is Looking for Some Good Souls
By jennifer schlueter
Challenging the Second Ammendment: Less Guns, Less Violence – Why People Should Not Be Allowed to Carry Guns The recent shooting of an unarmed homeless man by a police officer once again reminded me of my utter disbelief for police brutality and reinforced my confidence in anti-gun laws. This past Sunday, convicted robber Charley Saturmin Robinet aka “Africa” was fatally shot by a LAPD rookie officer, because he supposedly reached for the officer’s gun. But does reaching for the officer’s gun (protected by a specialized holster) justify the shooting of an unarmed homeless man who was already on the ground and surrounded by six officers? The officers were certainly close enough to aim at other body parts of the man which wouldn’t have caused him to die. Were six police officers with Tasers and bats at the scene not enough to incapacitate one unarmed man? Taking a look at statistics from different countries proves that the use of guns and thus killing people is not as necessary as the United States like to portray it. According to author and former FBI-agent Jim Fisher, in 2011, out of the 1,146 people that police officers shot nationwide, 607 were killed. For the same year in California, out of the 183 people shot by officers in California, 102 were killed. In Fisher’s report, LA was the second most deadly city after Chicago. Statistics of Prof. Clemens Lorei, a German police expert and psychologist, show that in the same year in Germany, police fired 36 at persons of whom 15 were injured and
6 killed. Granted that Germany has about one fourth of the population of the US, 216 people would have been shot at and 24 killed, had US police shot with the same frequency as German officers. In two cases in the US, police fired more than twice as many shots at one single suspect as Germany fires within one year: In 2012, “Los Angeles Police killed a 19-year-old man after unloading over 90 shots on him following a highspeed chase down an area freeway. The same month, New York police fired at a suspected murderer 84 times,” Reuters reports. In Germany, police officers are not allowed to fire shots to kill, only to hinder a suspect from fleeing or hurting others and if hand cuffs, pepper spray and other, less methods fail. If possible, warn shots have to be fired first, and the weapon should be directed at extremities. A deadly shot can only be fired if the officer’s life or someone else’s is in serious danger. Even though US laws officially do not differ much from Germany’s, the US’ fatalities are strikingly higher. Thomas Aveni, executive director at the Police Policy Studies Council, told Cleveland.com that in the US “officers train during target practice by firing at paper targets shaped like people where the bulls eye is the chest near the sternum” because shots to this area are more likely to incapacitate the threatening individual. In Ireland, Norway and New Zealand, police don’t even carry guns. In England,
only police units carry guns at places such as airports. Consequently, homicide numbers are among the lowest in the world because, as a New Zealand police commissioner wrote in 2009: “I have no doubt that carrying handguns would compromise officers' ability to do their regular work, because when you carry a weapon, your primary concern is to protect that weapon. If this was balanced by a clearly demonstrable increase in personal protection, it would be a price to consider paying. But the protection offered by a firearm — particularly a pistol — is more illusory than real.” The British are about "100 times less likely to be shot by a police officer than Americans" the Economist claims. In both countries, gun ownership is much lower than in the US. So why does the US think that everyone should be able to carry a gun? For what? The Second Amendment is antiquated. There are a number of people, in fact, the majority of people in this world, who have never owned a gun and have survived their whole life (in a lot of cases that means 80 or even 90-100 years). If less people would own guns, less criminals or future criminals would be able to have access to them. If less police officers carried guns, less people would be shot by the police and less criminals could take officers’ guns – it’s as simple as that and other countries’ statistics prove it, so why can’t the U.S. follow in their footsteps?
Savannah Memorial Park and Historical Landmark 1046 is looking for volunteers to help with their scheduled clean-up day on March 7th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The residents of the park include Veterans from wars beginning with the War of 1812 plus individuals and families who lived in, or still have families living in, the San Gabriel Valley.

Today the high-energy nine-piece ensemble continues the party and takes things to the next level with the release of “Rattle Them Bones.” The follow-up to the much lauded 2009 release, “How Big Can You Get?: The Music of Cab Calloway,” still urges their millions of fans worldwide to shake and move to their inimitable grooves while also expanding their with new musical inspiration and influence. The band's numerous television appearances include “Dancing With The Stars,” “The Tonight Show

the option of moving to an already-unionized hospital. Sincerely, -Cynthia Cato, R.N.
Dear Editor: I am a bedside RN at Huntington Hospital. I have been there for eight years and have been a nurse for 23 years. I came to Huntington because it is not union, for one thing, and I want it to stay that way. I was one of the original IStandwithHuntington nurses. One thing that I noticed in your YouTube video is that Victor Gordo stated that he supports the nurses at Huntington Hospital. That is only half true. He only supports the nurses that want the union. Myself and several other nurses have written him and asked that he meet with us so that we can give him our opinion. He has never written any of us back
or agreed to meet with us. Shame on him. The news media has never agreed to print our side or talk to us. Do you suppose that we are frustrated? I feel that it took our behavior during the rally to get the attention we deserve. Shame on the media. CNA has come to our units and tried to get nurses to sign cards. They have been in our parking garage to try to talk to us which is not allowed. We are tired of the harassment from them and all the accusations towards our management. We would like to stress that management does listen to us and that we do not need CNA to negotiate for us. We actually are professional and do not need someone to do what we are capable of doing ourselves. Thank you for expressing the desire to hear our side. -Sonya Balingit RN
26th Annual Bungalow Heaven Home Tour Sunday, April 26
T
ucked in the deep shade of the California Oaks that line its streets is “a little bit of paradise,” according to Bungalow Heaven residents. On April 26, visitors can experience this pleasant, and historic, neighborhood for themselves as they stroll through Pasadena’s first Landmark District, touring a collection of uniquely characteristic homes. The neighborhood was recently added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Bungalow Heaven, in central-northeast Pasadena, California, has one of the largest collections of Craftsman homes anywhere in the United States — hundreds were constructed from 1905 to 1925. The architecture reflected a movement away from ornate Victorian sensibilities to simpler structures in harmony with nature through the use of materials such as river rock and redwood shingles, and by including front porches and wide windows. The theme for the 2015 Tour is “Honoring Our Design Heritage” and celebrates the varied breadth of bungalow design reflected in Bungalow Heaven’s many characteristic Arts & Craftsera, Spanish revival and English-style homes.
During the self-guided tour of the historic neighborhood and home interiors, docents will be on hand to offer commentary and answer questions. Visitors will also be treated to demonstrations of restoration work, music, and refreshments. Several food trucks will be on hand for those who wish to purchase lunch. Also available for purchase is the “At Home With Bungalow Heaven Cookies,” a cookbook featuring many of the most most-requested recipes for the home-baked cookies famously provided along the tour route. Bungalow Heaven is located north of the 210 Freeway, between Lake and Hill avenues. It is bordered on the north and south by Washington and Orange Grove boulevards. More information on the tour or on ordering tickets can be found online at www.bungaloeaven.org or by calling (626) 585-2172. Sunday, April 26, 2015—10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person if purchased in advance. On the day of the tour, tickets, as well as maps and an informational tour brochure, will be available at McDonald Park at the intersection of Mar Vista Avenue and Mountain Street for $25 per person.
“Cabaret” Concert at Good Shepherd to Benefit Youth Work Project Tradition will continue with the annual presentation of a musical “Cabaret” at Church of the Good Shepherd on Sunday, March 8. Performances are at 5 and 7 p.m. in Jordan Hall. Youth groups at Good Shepherd have offered the “Cabaret” as a fundraiser for the Sierra Service Project (SSP) for many years. Each summer, the young people spend a SSP work-week help-
ing repair and update homes in areas of need, often at Native American reservations. The “Cabaret” theme this year is “Home and Family.” Desserts will be served and a freewill offering taken. All are invited. Church of the Good Shepherd, United Methodist, is at 400 W. Duarte Rd., Arcadia. For more information: (626) 447-2181 or www.cgsum.org.

Often Offbeat, Always Funny Jamie Kennedy Returns March 20 Comic star Jamie Kennedy headlines for one night only on March 20 at 8 and 10 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase online at www.icehousecomedy.com or by calling the box office at (626) 577-1894. This is a special event show. Tickets are $20 with an additional $7 for VIP upgrade. An actor and comic with a unique view and offbeat sensibility, Jamie Kennedy skyrocketed to fame with a scene-stealing performance as Randy Meeks, the video-store-clerkturned-horror-hero with a knack for pop culture, in Wes Craven's Scream and Scream 2. He is also widely known for his hit WB show The Jamie Kennedy Experiment. Described as a cross between Candid Camera and Saturday Night Live, JKX became The WB's highestranking new show of 2002, attracting three million viewers each week. He was writer, producer, and star of the series, portraying a myriad of characters each week during the show's three seasons. After his breakout role on Scream, Kennedy has gone on to work with some of Hollywood's biggest names, including George Clooney, Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, and Will Smith. He appeared as a street hustler in James L. Brooks' As Good As It Gets, played a wannabe cinematographer in the comedy Bowfinger, and co-starred in the Persian Gulf War movie Three Kings. In Boiler Room, Kennedy teamed up with Ben Affleck, Giovanni Ribisi and Vin Diesel to expose the dark side of Wall Street. Other film appearances includestarring roles in Kickin' It Old Skool, and the Warner Bros. film
Malibu's Most Wanted. The film, which he also co-wrote, is based on the fictional Malibu rapper Brad Gluckman, one of the characters Kennedy created and often portrayed on JKX. Amassed in a short time, Kennedy's expansive list of movie credits also includes the animated feature Robots; Enemy of the State; Bait; Max Keeble's Big Move; The Debtors; Starf*cker; Clockwatchers; Bongwater; and The Specials, a film which Kennedy also produced. In addition to JKX, Kennedy's television projects include MTV's comedic reality series, Blowin' Up, as well as an album of the same name. The show followed Kennedy and sidekick Stu Stone, as they attempted to achieve their lifelong dream of becoming rappers. In 2007, Kennedy and Michael Addis produced Heckler, a comedic feature documentary exploring the increasingly critical world we live in. This fast moving, hilarious documentary takes an uncensored look at just how nasty and mean the fight is between those in the spotlight and those in the dark.

Nurses Alienated over CNA’s Unionization Bid; Huntington Administration Just Says No Thanks CNA Continued from page 1
dena Independent in an email Friday. She added: “Many nurses here, like me, appreciate what a special and unique place this is to work. The claims the CNA are making about our hospital and administration are absolutely false. I have been a bedside nurse at Huntington for 15 years (the last 14 in the Emergency department.) Our administration is very supportive of nurses. “I have not been coaxed by management or anyone else to oppose the union. I went there yesterday on my own accord to show that they are not speaking for the majority of the nurses at Huntington as they claim. I am frustrated by the media coverage that
tion and next steps. “They give me many tools and personnel to do my job. I am not oppressed or fearful of my managers; if fact, I view with them fondness. I don’t fear my administrators; in fact, I have close and friendly relationships with them. I believe they are doing quality work and are trying their very best to keep the mission of quality healthcare working. Every day. “This is why I am clearly bothered by these ‘outsiders’ attempts to claim ‘a patient care crisis’ and ‘a corrupt management group’ when, in my opinion, the majority of nurses at HMH believe contrary.” Mr. Melendez also said

keeps saying ‘Huntington nurses’ hold union rally ... etc. It is a small group of disgruntled employees who have adopted the idea that CNA can solve problems for them. I chose to solve problems with my colleagues and administration in a collaborative, productive way. I do not need the CNA to intervene or interfere.” Anthony Melendez, a 17-year veteran RN at Huntington, voiced similar feelings: “One thing that is abundantly clear to me is that HMH is a special hospital that was placed more than a hundred years ago in a special community. It is a community, non-profit academic institution that strives to serve this community with the very best in medical care and patient experience. “I have been a passionate ‘soldier’ in this recurring battle as human healthcare is complex and challenging. However, I have consistently found that HMH is not afraid to adapt and grow and bring RN’s into negotiations concerning its direc-
that he was surprised by some of the elected officials’ attempts to seemingly support the unionization efforts. “Victor Gordo isn’t event in Huntington Hospital’s district… “Collective bargaining would collapse the alreadyoccurring many arenas of professional nurse collaboration at HMH that has resulted in much fruitful innovation and advancement. “The RNs I know are motivated by their personal capabilities and their personal enthusiasm and do not want the stifle of a union picking their ‘platforms’ or speaking for them. We can speak for ourselves – There is NO crisis at Huntington.” Another nurse, Sonya Balingit, RN, said of Councilmember Gordo claiming he supports the nurses at Huntington, “That is only half true . He only supports the nurses that want the union. Myself and several other nurses have written him and asked that he meet with us so that we can give him our opinion. He has
never written any of us back or agreed to meet with us. Shame on him….” She added, “I feel that it took our behavior during the rally to get the attention we deserve. Shame on the media. CNA has come to our units and tried to get nurses to sign cards. They have been in our parking garage to try to talk to us which is not allowed. We are tired of the harassment from them and all the accusations towards our management. We would like to stress that management do listen to us and that we do not need CNA to negotiate for us. We actually are professional and do not need someone to do what we are capable of doing ourselves.” Victor Gordo and Jacque Robinson, as well as candidate Allen Shay and local clergy, attempted to soothe the tensions. Eventually, those who oppose the CAN left and the prounion nurses prayed for a peaceful and fair solution. A group of nurses at Huntington has been in talks with CNA organizers since May to form a union at the hospital, citing poor work conditions and diminished morale among employees. Since then, the pro-union employees cite intimidation from hospital administrators. The majority of nurses we spoke to on Thursday say that unionization is not the answer and intimidation allegations were “fabricated” by the CAN. Gloria Sanchez-Rio, VP and Chief Nurse Executive for Huntington, said that the Hospital doesn’t believe union representation is “in our relationship with our employees.” “The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) notified Huntington Memorial Hospital that the California Nurses Association (CNA) filed a petition to organize our full-time, regular part-time and per diem registered nurses. Eligible nurses will have the opportunity to vote in a secret ballot election conducted by the NLRB to determine whether or not they want union representation. A date has not yet been determined for the election. “Huntington Hospital acknowledges and respects the right of our employees to voluntarily decide whether or not to be represented by a union like CNA. However, we do not believe a union is necessary in our relationship with employees. We believe that a union would compromise our flexibility and the spirit of

cooperation, internal sense of community, and unifying focus on high-quality, compassionate care that we provide to our patients. “It is essential for Huntington Hospital nurses to have complete, accurate information about what it
means to be represented by a union – as well as the risks associated with the collective bargaining process – so they can make an informed decision. Over the next several weeks, we will be sharing information with our employees about what
unionization means and the collective bargaining process generally. Meanwhile, our focus, as always, will continue to be delivering the high-quality care our community has relied upon for the past 120 years.”

Man Posing as Cop Shoots Gun Inside Altadena Bar A man is accused of making threats and firing a gun into the ceiling of an Altadena bar last Saturday night, according to reports. Deputies arrested Freddy Flores, 51, on suspicion of making criminal threats, negligent discharge of a firearm and drunken driving following the shooting, which took place just before midnight Saturday at the Altadena Ale & Wine House, 2329 Fair Oaks Avenue, according to Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials and booking records. Flores is known to frequent the local bars in Altadena, particularly Altadena Ale House. Flores made threats and pulled out a revolver, firing three shots into the ceiling. He then left the bar and drove off. Sources tell Beacon Media that Mr. Flores was
in another bar, AltaEats on North Allen, earlier in the evening and was belligerent with the manager and handed her a business card - which he claimed stated Flores was “ the chief of police “ and threatened to close the bar down. LASD deputies responded to reports of the shooting at the second bar and found Flores driving nearby and pulled him over, and arrested him for allegedly driving under the influence. Deputies recovered a revolver from Flores with three fired shell casings still in the cylinder, he said. According to county booking records, Flores was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail pending a scheduled arraignment Tuesday in Pasadena Superior Court. Flores was due in court March 3 for arraignment.

PCC Courier Celebrates 100th Continued from page 1
Shatford Library organized an exhibit in the library's rotunda. Various copies of the newspaper throughout its centurylong run are on display. The exhibit also showcases several antique press machines that were used to print the publication on campus. As the college evolved first from a high school in 1913 to a junior college in 1924 - so, too, did the Courier. The newspaper would go through several name changes throughout the century to reflect the times. "It was first called the PHS Chronicle in 1915," said Manya Manee Hakopyan, a library technician and archivist for the Shatford Library. "In 1931, it changed to the Pasadena Chronicle." Almost three decades later, long after the college was established as a junior college in 1924, the newspaper was called the PCC Chronicle, Hakopyan said. The newspaper finally settled on the Courier in 1954. "There have been so many changes with the Courier that it's almost hard to imagine that when I first started we used ribbon typewriters, and we printed the issues on the same machines that are on display at the exhibit," said Bolliger, who was advisor for more than 1,000 issues.
A special issue commemorating the anniversary will be released in April, according to Phillip McCormick, current editor-in-chief of the newspaper. The issue will feature articles chronicling the Courier's history and coverage throughout the years. "Some of the articles will cover the first few years of the Courier to the biggest crime story the paper ever covered, and up to today's recent events," he said. McCormick also said he and Nagisa Mihara, Courier photo editor, spent the entire winter break researching archival material to put together the special issue. At least 22 staff members will be working on it, including Antonio Gandara, an alumnus who works for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gandara will serve as a design consultant for the issue, which is scheduled to be released in April. "It's been a privilege," McCormick said. "It's a great feeling to know that I've been placed in charge of doing something for this anniversary. 100 years comes once in a lifetime, and I'm super glad that I'm involved."

Nurses are also allowed to distribute literature during lunch or on their breaks and can solicit coworkers to volunteer for union events as long as they are off the clock. Nurses can also wear a CNA button and circulate CNA petitions under these rules as well. The organization of the nurse’s labor comes on the heels of Huntington Memorial Hospital’s 2014 business plan, which indicated that in order to save the organization $6.4 million dollars the organization would be cutting the jobs of seventy-one full-time employees. In addition, the plan indicates that a “reduction of supply use” was in order, aimed at saving the organization an estimated $650,000.

Finance Task Force Members Announced After Embezzlement Scandal in Pasadena
Union Supporters Claim Hostility at Press Conference Last Thursday spoke during public comment in support of the nurses on behalf of the faith-based organization CLUE, Los Angeles. “I am going to support Councilmember Gordo and Vice Mayor Robinson, who were with us. And particularly to Mr. Gordo who stood up when some nasty things were said to me and tried to bring some calm to this very hostile environment.” District One resident John McClain spoke next, adding that when he arrived at Huntington Memorial Hospital in support of the nurses he was met with a large crowd of anti-union hospital staff. McClain says that the crowd was rude and that “they referred to an NAACP representative there as a ‘Henchmen.’ They booed two of the councilpeople here today. They booed a priest. A reverend. And a rabbi.” California Nurses Association Organizer Jen Suh said in a later interview that the crowds that faced off at the hospital against the nurses came as a result of the Huntington Hospital hiring the union-busting law firm Littler-Mendelson. Suh claims that Huntington is paying the firm $850.00 an hour to intimidate the nurses into thinking that they are not protected under federal labor law to form a union. In fact, the people facing off against the nurses, Suh claims “weren’t even bedside nurses. They wouldn’t even be asked to join the union. They were [identified as] dieticians, xray technicians, charge nurses, cafeteria workers …” When Pasadena resident Joan Depew arrived at the Thursday in support of the nurses, she was shocked when someone in the crowd asked how much she was getting paid to be there. “I’ve been to many many protests,” she claimed. “It’s actually illegal if they organize the oppo-
Mayor Hopes to Restore Integrity, Ethics in City Hall The first public meeting of the City’s Task Force on Financial Administration and Internal Control will begin at 5 p.m., Monday, March 9, at Pasadena City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave., in the Council Conference Room adjacent to the Council Chamber, Second Floor. On Feb. 23, Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard named seven people to the Task Force that is charged with making recommendations to the City Council and the City Manager in response to the announcement last year that a former City employee allegedly stole up to $6.4 million during an 11-year embezzlement scheme. Following an investigation by the City, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced in December the arrest a former City employee and two other persons for their alleged involvement in the theft. Information about the incident and the City’s response can be found online at www.cityofpasadena.net/invoiceinvestigation. Task Force members include C. Douglas Kranwinkle, Chair, Robert E. Carlson, Robert C. Davidson, Jr., James F. Dowling, Donald C. Nanney, Charlotte Reith and Raul F. Salinas.
“It is my intent to reflect in these appointments the priority for the Council, the City Manager and all of City Hall to demonstrate our commitment to fully examine this unfortunate experience and to take every reasonable step to avoid anything like it in the future,” Mayor Bogaard said. Bogaard said about 30 people expressed interest in serving on the Task Force.

Hillsides Raises $490,000 for Pasadena-headquartered Charity By terry miller Hillsides, a premier provider dedicated to improving the overall wellbeing and functioning of vulnerable children, youth, and families, raised more than $490,000 from its annual gala, Hillsides Uncorked! held on Saturday night, Fed. 28, at The Langham Huntington, Pasadena.
A sold-out crowd of 425 enjoyed an evening devoted to fine wine and food that included a live auction hosted by NBC4 weatherman Fritz Coleman, a moving speech by a former Hillsides resident, and dancing. In addition, a paddle auction for the agency’s $12 million capital campaign to

improve its Pasadena campus raised $76,090. This amount will be doubled due to matching funds for a total of more than $152,000. “We are thrilled by the success of Hillsides Uncorked! and I would like to thank all of those people involved who helped make it so successful,” said Joseph M. Costa, Hillsides chief executive officer. “This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and the funds raised will go a long way to create lasting change in the lives of the almost 9,000 children and families that Hillsides serves.” The gala was co-hosted by local restaurateurs Robert and Deborah Simon, owners of Pasadena restaurants Bistro 45 and a/k/a Bistro. They collaborated with The Langham executive chef Denis Depoitre to create a delicious menu of fresh and sustainable organic meats, produce, and seafood. Guests were greeted with a signature cocktail of ginger beer and Selvarey White called “The Dancing Juice,” a cornucopia of artisan cheeses, crudités, dried
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 issue is now squarely before the California Supreme Court in Yvanova v. New Century Mortgage Corp. This is the case in most loans made in the last 12 years. If the bank foreclosed we should be able to get the homeowner money damages and/or the house back. Or a lawsuit could be filed and a court ruling obtained preventing the court from foreclosing. Recently enacted Sections 2924(a)(6) and 2924.19 of California Civil Code provide the same relief to homeowners. It is highly suggested that homeowners take this window of opportunity to get relief before the banks get Congress to close this door with national legislation. Contact us so we can help you.

Dinner was heirloom tomatoes and sliced burrata, grilled organic asparagus with garlic aioli, slow braised all natural beef short ribs, celery apple puree, Brussels sprouts with tarragon, oven baked spaghetti squash, and Pinot Noir reduction. A selection of desserts was served family-style, and in addition guests were offered a donut station with chocolate and caramel dipping sauces. One highlight of the evening was a speech by former Hillsides resident Briana Elliott, who lived at Hillsides residential treatment program from 20032005. Elliot spoke about a traumatic past filled with multiple foster care placements when at the age of 13, she came to live at Hillsides. “When I got to Hillsides, I was refreshed with the friendly staff that was real and loving from day one,” she said. “Hillsides brought back hope, trust and compassion for the world around me.” She also thanked the volunteers and donors in the room, con-

Under Coleman’s comedic banter, guests bid on 10 spectacular packages.

Monrovia High School celebrates after defeating La Cañada 4-2 in penalties. The Wildcats trailed 1-0 in the first half before rallying in the second half to force overtime and a penalty shootout. - Photo by Vincent Nguyen
Ulises Avila coolly converted the game-winning penalty kick for Monrovia High, propelling the Wildcats to the CIF Southern Section Division Six Finals over the La Cañada Spartans, defeating the Spartans 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw Tuesday night. The Wildcats trailed early in the game but overcame their deficit in the second half to force the Spartans into extra-time, and, ultimately, a penalty to shootout, where Avila scored the game-winner, and junior goalkeeper Taylor Barstow saved two spot-kicks to lift Monrovia High to the CIF final. “I already knew where I wanted to go,” the junior striker said. “I already picked the corner, and the two saves really built up my confidence.” La Cañada took control of the game early in the first
half and quickly earned two free-kicks right outside their opponent’s penalty box. The Spartans struck first in the 22nd minute with a stunning overhead kick from junior striker Lawrence Ku for a 1-0 lead. The Wildcats quickly regrouped and took more control of the game with countless chances going their way, but La Cañada kept the lead going into halftime. “We told them to stop watching and start playing and getting active,” said Monrovia head coach Michael Williams. The second half proved to be a different story. The Spartans faced a different monster as the Wildcats became much more organized and offensive. In the 57th minute, Monrovia High earned a freekick just above half-field and
launched it into the box, finding junior defender Joel Cortez to head in the equalizer. Both teams fought off the counter with minutes left in regulation time, but neither could prevent the game from heading into extra time where fatigue looked to be the factor and penalty kicks seemed inevitable. Monrovia and La Cañada went back and forth in the first two rounds of the shootout, but Barstow’s back-to-back saves gave the Wildcats the advantage and the victory. “I tried to make myself look big by giving them the ball,” Barstow said on his penalty saves. “You can always tell by their eyes where they’re going to go.” The Wildcats will advance to face the South Pasadena Tigers in the final, with the date and time projected to come out this week.

Chaffey Scores in 2nd Minute of Overtime to Beat Pasadena 2-1, Earn Spot in Championship By jacob bigley
Pasadena High School fell to the Chaffey Tigers in overtime this Tuesday night after James Oxier (#10) scored his second goal off a goalie deflection in the second minute of extra time. This game was nothing short of entertaining. Both teams played with a similar style, sending long crosses with tactical dribbling, waiting for the other team to make a mistake. Oxier’s first goal, which was a header into the right side of the net, put the Tigers up 1-0 in the first half. Shortly after, the Bulldogs would tie the game after a hand ball in the box was called on the Tigers, resulting in an Alex Hernandez goal. Both teams continued their intensity in the second half, pushing the ball down field hoping to find a gap in the defense. After a couple close attempts from both the Bulldogs and Tigers, regulation was called and they
headed into overtime. It was in overtime that the Tiger’s James Oxier became the hero. The senior forward was in the right place at the right time and was able to knock the deflection in for the game winning goal, immediately followed by a celebratory dog
pile from his teammates. Chaffey will play Cathedral in the championship this weekend. (To watch the video of the game winning goal, go to www.pasadenaindependent. com – you can find this article under Education/Local Sports).

We will take this, what we learned, this intensity, the feeling of this and hopefully, we are going to be traveling pretty far and again it is a taste of something you can’t teach.

Holden Announces Woman of the Year Stella Murga State Assemblymember Chris Holden will honor Pasadena community activist Stella Murga as his “Woman of the Year” for her outstanding accomplishments in the 41st Assembly District. Each year the Assembly honors women of distinction who enhance the quality of life for others in their Assembly districts. A first-generation Mexican-American, Stella Murga has spent more than 20 years working with young people with a focus on student achievement. She established the Adelante Youth Alliance, a non-profit organization focused on guiding youth to develop their full personal, academic and career potential. Under Stella’s direction, Adelante Youth Alliance produces the two largest college and career conferences in California. “Our state has a rich history of women who have made lasting contributions to their communities through their public service and activism,” said Assem-

Camille Levee, Executive Director at Women at Work sent out the following email Tuesday: “Since 1979, Women At Work, first incorporated as the Women’s Public Policy Research Center, provided an array of career services for women throughout the greater San Gabriel Valley. Our mission was clear: to help women reach their full employment and earnings potential in a supportive environment. “In our 36-year history, thousands of women benefited from our skills training programs, career counseling and a variety of job resources. These women found jobs, built careers and even started their own businesses. “Throughout these three decades, we have received generous financial support from individuals, foundations and employers. Their gifts to Women At Work helped to transform lives. Community, business and elected leaders were integral to the network that champions a vibrant workplace that includes women at all levels and in all sectors. “Despite our significant fundraising efforts we are
unable to build a sustainable base of support. As a result, the Board of Directors of Women At Work made the difficult and critical decision to reevaluate our current model. We will continue scheduled programs through March 15, while evaluating ways to transition and restructure our organization. During this transition we will review and focus on the contemporary needs of women in the evolving 21st Century workplace. “Women At Work remains committed to the issues that ignited the start of this organization: supporting the needs of women seeking employment, pay equity, career development and advancement. We believe in the strength that comes from women helping women. We are so grateful to all those who have supported Women At Work—donors, volunteers and community partners. And, finally, to the working women we have assisted, we applaud your achievements and are honored by your triumphs. We take pride in knowing that you are role models, mentors and leaders for the next generation of women entering the workplace.”
Carpet for Small Business
Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang announced the introduction of a legislative package aimed at making California more business friendly. Chang’s legislative package includes her first introduced bill, AB 19 which directs the office of GoBiz to review regulations affecting small businesses. In addition, she has introduced AB 756 which gives state agencies the flexibility to waive penalties and provide a grace period for small businesses, and AB 789 which calls for a moratorium on regulations that stifle job creation. Assemblywoman Chang introduced AB 19 back in December of 2014 when she was sworn into the Assembly. In doing so she made known her intention to improve California’s regulatory environment. Her recent amendments redirect the legislation to focus on reviewing regulations affecting small business in order to make them less burdensome, less costly, and to eliminate any existing redundancies. AB 756 brings relief to businesses getting started as the owners begin to learn how to navigate through the bureaucracy businesses face. With this 120 day window, new businesses will
be given a better opportunity to build their business before facing overwhelming fines and penalties. Chang stated, “The small business owner in California has never had it easy. Those that have remained operational in California can testify to that, as can those that have closed up shop or taken their business elsewhere. This legislative package is about turning the tables and rebranding California into a pro-business oasis. ” Topping off Chang’s regulatory reform package is AB 784 which calls for a moratorium on legislation that would result in a net reduction of jobs in the state. AB 784 will give business owners throughout the state breathing room so they can operate without having to adjust their businesses to ever changing regulations. Chang concluded, “California is an ever changing regulatory minefield, making it extremely difficult for business owners to determine what their next step will be. Let’s hit the pause button on these laws and give those individuals that drive our economy the ability to grow their business and create more jobs.”

license plates. Upon making contact with the vehicle, Officers were overcome by the immense smell of marijuana. The driver of the vehicle informed Officers that there was a small amount of marijuana in the driver’s side door panel. Officers searched the vehicle and located a small container of marijuana and a small handrolled cigarette containing marijuana. The driver informed Officers that he did not have a medical marijuana license. The driver was cited for failure for having required license plates on the vehicle, and possession of marijuana. The driver was released without further incident and Officers confiscated the marijuana into evidence.
Feb. 28
At 3:17 p.m., Sierra Madre Police were monitoring the intersection of Grandview and Santa Anita when they witnessed a vehicle, in violation for front window tint, approach the stop sign at the intersection and proceed through without completing a complete stop. Officers initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle and upon approaching the vehicle, the smell of marijuana was present. Upon making contact with the vehicle occupants, the young driver immediately apologized for not making a complete stop. As the young man spoke to Officers, he appeared to be sweating, had a slight tremor, and was very nervous. Officers noticed the emitting smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle and questioned the young driver, who denied having any within the vehicle. Believing there was marijuana within the vehicle, Officers requested the occupants to exit the vehicle, and while the passenger occupants complied, the driver refused on several requests and was assisted out of the vehicle by Officers and placed in handcuffs for safety. While searching the vehicle, Officers discovered a backpack that contained an open bottle of alcohol that was partially consumed. The owner of the backpack was a passenger who identified himself with his high school ID. When asked how the alcohol was obtained, the driver and passenger informed Officers they got it from a party the night before. Officers cited both young men with being under 21 in possession of alcohol and released them without further incident. The alcohol was confiscated, emptied and disposed of at the police department trash receptacle.

Duarte to Establish Fish Canyon Trail Maintenance Crew by joe taglieri Duarte officials recently announced the city's intention to form an 11-member crew tasked with rehabilitating the Fish Canyon Falls hiking trail in the Angeles National Forest and San Gabriel Mountains. The Fish Canyon Falls Trail Maintenance Crew will provide repairs and renovation, replace or repair trail signage, clear shrubs and plants from the hiking path, assist in trail leveling and perform other maintenance tasks that may arise, according to Parks and Recreation Director Cesar Monsalve in a Feb. 24 presentation to the City Council. Officials from the local branch of the National Forest Service also attended the council meeting and briefed members on the plan to team Duarte's new trail crew with the Forest Service's volunteer group, the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders. In February the Trailbuilders enabled the popular hiking route to reopen after clearing rockslide debris that blocked access to
Fish Canyon Falls for nearly two months. A $25,000 grant from the Los Angeles County Regional Park Open Space District's Proposition A program that Duarte received last year provides funding for the trail crew, according to Monsalve's report. The city will provide the remaining funds for the project's $33,375 total cost. A county document describes the project scope as rehabilitating 1.6 miles of the Fish Canyon Trail with work from three Duarte Maintenance Division employees in addition to the hiring and training of eight "at-risk" young people to comprise the trail crew. Members of the youth trail crew will make between $9 and $15 hourly totaling $15,000, and the three city maintenance employees will receive a $21 rate over 125 hours of staff time devoted to trail work totaling $7,875, documents show. The rest of the project funds are for purchasing tools, construction supplies, uniforms, backpacks, hydra-
tion packs and costs related to sign repair and replacement. Last fall President Barack Obama gave national monument status to a large portion of nearby federal land. The San Gabriel Mountains National Monument covers more than 342,000 acres of the Angeles National Forest and 4,000 acres of the adjacent San Bernardino National Forest. This federal protection from using the land for anything other than recreational access to wilderness areas was an impetus for local governments to devote staff time and resources to improvement efforts. "The designation will help ensure these lands remain a benefit for all, including Duarte's residents, with thousands of miles of streams, hiking trails, and other outdoor recreation opportunities just steps away," Monsalve's report states. The city's park and recreation chief went on to note that the Duarte trail crew will "partner with the

Marlow Marrs 1920-2015
Marlow Virgil Marrs died peacefully last Thursday in Pasadena, the city in which he had made his home for almost 40 years. He was a man of his era, shaped by the Great Depression and the Second World War. As a part of what Tom Brokaw dubbed the greatest generation, he epitomized the two principal virtues of that generation: a strong work ethic, and a sense of responsibility. Those attributes contributed to his success in life. He rose from a simple draftsman to the president, CEO and ultimately Chairman of the Board of a large manufacturing firm, L & F Industries. He was born on Jan. 7, 1920 in Ontario, California, the last of four children of Virgil Barton and Harriet Goodale Marrs. After graduating from high school in
1937, he studied engineering at Pasadena City College (at that time called Pasadena Junior College) before becoming a draftsman for Douglas Aircraft in 1939. In 1941 he married Edith Helen Boekenoogen whom he had met at PCC and with whom he ultimately had two sons. He joined the Navy in 1944, serving as instructor in Norman, Oklahoma. In March of 1947, Marrs began working for L&F Machine. He rose steadily at the company, becoming its president in June of 1962 and the CEO and Chairman of the Board

in May of 1969. He retired from his position as president in June of 1987 and as CEO in July of 1992, but continued as the Chairman of the Board of Directors until the company was sold in 2003. During these years he had also served as a member of the board of Directors of the National Machine Tool Builders Association and was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Mount Wilson Institute. For many years he lived in South Pasadena and was very active in Boy Scouts with his older son Bruce. In 1960 he was given the Scout
Leader Award by the Boy Scouts of America. An avid tennis player, Marrs was a long time member of the Valley Hunt Club in Pasadena, playing there regularly until the last few years. He was also a member of the Live Oaks Tennis Association in South Pasadena. He is survived by his wife of almost 45 years, Herrad; his two sons, Judge Bruce Marrs and Steven Marrs and their respective wives; five grandchildren, Edie, Randy, Iain, Christopher and Jamison; and six great-grandchildren with a seventh due shortly. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made in his honor to the Mount Wilson Institute, P.O. Box 94146, Pasadena, California, 91106. Plans for a memorial service have not been finalized.
Pasadena Police Dedicate Freeway Memorial For Slain Officer March 13 A portion of the Foothill Freeway (I-210) in Pasadena will be dedicated in honor of slain Pasadena Police Agent Richard Morris on March 13 at 9 a.m. - the 46th anniversary of his killing. His death marked the first time in the history of the Pasadena Police Department that a sworn officer was killed in the line of duty. The public is invited to attend the dedication ceremony which is a joint effort between the Pasadena Police Department and Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena) whose office passed a Resolution (ACR 170) authorizing the memorial sign. A section of the I-210 Freeway between Rosemead Blvd. and Allen Avenue will be called the Richard Morris Memorial Highway. Assemblymember Holden, along with Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez, Pasadena City officials, Caltrans, and members of the Morris family will be on hand at the ceremony. The public is invited to attend. At the time of the shoot-
ing, Agent Morris was part of an undercover team investigating an assault on another police officer. A struggle ensued when officers went to the suspect’s home and Agent Morris was shot by the suspect. He had been with the department for seven years. “At great personal risk Agent Morris engaged an armed suspect who clearly had violent intentions. After he was shot, Agent Morris was surrounded by his partners who risked their lives to save his, but in the end he did not survive. Agent Morris is gone but not forgotten. His warrior spirit lives on in our contemporary Pasadena Police Officers who continue to serve with honor, integrity and courage,” said Police Chief Sanchez. No state funds are used for the memorial signs. Those wishing to contribute to the cost of the signs may donate to the Pasadena Police Foundation, 207 N. Garfield Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101.

San Gabriel Votes Return John Harrington to Council in Decisive Vote
Sternquist, Man and Fish Reeled in by Historically Low Voter Turnout in Temple City
By terry miller Despite hot issues at stake for the community, only 12 percent of the 21,000 registered voters bothered get out and vote in the municipal election Tuesday. San Gabriel voters Tuesday re-seated incumbent John Harrington to the San Gabriel City Council with 1504 votes (unofficial). Juli Constanzo and challenger Denise Menchaca are in a tight race with 1079 and 1102 votes respectively. In a post-election interview Mr. Harrington said that he noticed that voters “really want strong leadership … I’m
all about making business successful but it has to balance what’s good for the city and what’s good for the city and the business. There has to be a balance. It shows in the election results that people really are yearning for strong leadership.” The race between Menchaca and Costanzo is too close to call, with Menchaca behind Costanzo by basically a score of votes. 76 provisional and 220 vote-by-mail ballots remain to be counted according to latest results.

mer Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero in 2005, she has been active in her community since the same year and has served on the City Council since 2007.
With a 9.8 percent voter turnout in Temple City Tuesday, those that did take the trouble to cast their vote selected Nan Fish with 26.5%; William Man with 27% and incumbent Cynthia Sternquist with 29%.

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.

Blair High School Senior Named Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena Youth of the Year Blair International Baccalaureate High School senior Joshua Hing, 17, has been selected as the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena’s 2015 Youth of the Year, and will represent Pasadena as he joins 26 other Boys & Girls Club members in vying for the title of Los Angeles County Youth of the Year. Each nominee represents one of the 27 Clubs that comprise the Los Angeles County Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs. Youth of the Year is the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s premier youth recognition program, recognizing members’ outstanding contributions to their family, school, community, and Club, as well as personal challenges and obstacles they have overcome. Youth of the Year encourages Club members to reach their full potential by achieving academic success, leading healthy lifestyles, and practicing good character and leadership. Joshua was chosen for this honor from among seven candidates at the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena. He has attended the organization’s Slavik branch for six years, and will graduate from Blair this
spring. Joshua will continue his studies and pursue his goal of becoming a clinical dietician and personal trainer and has already been accepted to California State University Northridge. Joshua is a member of ROP Health Care, Health Occupational Students of America (HOSA) and senior class representative of Blair Health Careers Academy. He has interned at Kaiser Permanente and is currently interning at Huntington Hospital. Joshua is passionate about living a healthy lifestyle and helping others live a healthy lifestyle. He also enjoys playing basketball and getting involved in student leadership. “As soon as you meet Josh, you can see his leadership qualities,” said Slavik Branch Director J.D. Lovrensky, who has known Joshua since he started attending the Club. “The way he relates to staff, interacts with his peers, and participates in programs shows how special of a person he is and how far he will go in life.” Two rounds of judging will take place before the winner is announced March 25 at
the historic El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. The Los Angeles County winner will advance to the state competition. State winners, who each receive a $1,000 scholarship, will then compete at the regional level. Finally, the country’s five regional winners, who are each awarded a $10,000 scholarship, will travel to Washington, D.C. where the National Youth of the Year will be named later this year. The National Youth of the Year will receive a scholarship worth up to $50,000 and will have the opportunity to meet with the President of the United States in the White House. The National Youth of the Year serves a one-year term as a representative of the more than four million young people served by some 4,000 Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide and on U.S. military installations worldwide. Duties include addressing various groups on
important youth issues and the role Boys & Girls Clubs play in changing young lives. Locally, Joshua will represent the more than 2,500
The CDE is teaming up with the Department of Rehabilitation, Department of Developmental Services, and Disabilities Rights California to develop a blueprint to prepare people with disabilities for meaningful employment. The blueprint will support employment settings where people with disabilities can get fair wages and compensation; and
establish goals, responsibilities, requirements, recommendations, and a resolution process for disputes. This stems from Governor Edmund G. Brown’s “Employment First” Executive Order issued in 2013, making California one of a growing number of states supporting Integrated, Competitive Employment (ICE). ICE is defined as helping
people with disabilities typically get part- or full-time work in the community, minimum wage or above, and compensation equal to other workers. The CDE is responsible for monitoring school districts in providing appropriate services to help students with disabilities transition into the workforce. By supporting the state’s Employ-
ment First policy, students with disabilities will acquire the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to obtain jobs in integrated settings at a competitive wage that promotes community participation and self-sufficiency. For more information on how the CDE supports students with special needs, visit its Special Education Web page.
