Billion Package Devastating Drought Demands $1Expedites Bond
Drastic Decisions
Mobilizing state resources to face another year of extreme dry conditions, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. last week joined Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León, Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, and Republican Leaders Senator Bob Huff and Assemblymember Kristin Olsen to announce legislation to help local communities cope with the ongoing, devastating drought. The $1 billion package will expedite bond funding to make the state more resilient to the disastrous effects of climate change and help ensure that all Californians have access to local water supplies. “This unprecedented drought continues with no signs yet of letting up,” said Governor Brown. “The programs funded by the actions announced today will provide direct relief to workers and communities most impacted by these historic dry conditions.” The legislation includes more than $1 billion for local

But they’re not the only ones who are hired part time, says professional advisor to Certified Public Accountants Gary Marriage, Jr. “I sometimes ask people, ‘Do you want a guy in a costume to handle your taxes?’ Of course, the guy actually doing the paperwork probably won’t be the guy standing near the traffic, but he’s also not the person you want dealing with your bottom line,” says Marriage, CEO of Nature

To the Editor: March 17, 2015 There it was, Time magazine with Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell’s face on the cover with the bold letters CHANGE. How many Americans believed McConnell’s pledge of change and compromise after they had watched six years of “do-nothing” Republican obstruction? Well, none of the Republican’s promises were true, and if you can believe it, the Republicans have become decidedly worse. First, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) went behind the president’s back and invited Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress in an obvious act political contempt. Next, 47 Republican senators including Mitch McConnell (R-KY) tried to undermine the U.S. effort to limit the Iranian nuclear threat. The Republicans no longer have the best interests of America as a top priority and have become a conspiracy of fools. -Ron Lowe SANTA MONICA

(The shooting of stray dogs in Russia shows what a problem this is.) However, we need to fix the homeless cat and dog problem in this country first, and cats reproduce quickly! One female cat can have three litters per year, multiplying the problem, causing untold suffering and misery for homeless, innocent felines. Let’s concentrate on this county and this country. A cat or dog does not need to have “just one litter.” There are low-cost programs such as Pet Assistance Foundation. Just call 1-800-SPAYPET and a volunteer will return your call and direct you to a low-cost vet and, in addition, subsidize the cost if needed. Also, there is Fix Nation (near

Jesus Is Watching We live in such a strange, screwed-up, litigious society that almost anything is believable. Lawsuits appear to be the sport of the day. Examples of this are a couple I read about recently. A bank robber was arrested after a teller realized the robber was hard of hearing and tripped an alarm. Now, apparently, the robber is suing the bank for exploiting his disability. In another case, a ticket holder, citing poor timing, sued the organizers of an event to pay damages for mental anguish after he missed the event because of heavy traffic. According to the report, the judge ruled in his favor. I find those stories humorous but scary because they show just how vulner-

George Shearing (1919-2011), a well-known jazz pianist, had been blind since birth. One day as an adult he was standing at a busy street corner in London waiting for someone to come by and help him cross the street. Another blind man came up to Shearing and put his hand on Shearing’s shoulder and asked for help to cross the street. Shearing didn’t tell the man that he also was blind and decided to walk both of

able we are. Another example of mankind's vulnerability came through on the internet. I obviously can't claim authorship but I want to share it with you: A burglar broke into a house one night. He shone his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you." He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light back on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the TV
out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you." Freaking out, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. "Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot. "Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you." "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?" "Moses," replied the bird. "Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of stupid people would name a parrot Moses?" The bird promptly answered, "Probably the same kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus…”
them through traffic. Shearing thought it was a thrill. Don’t think of risks as a possible failure. Don’t let risks fill you with fear and keep you from achieving a goal. Taking a risk can bring out one of the three phases of fear. In phase one, fear can keep you from doing anything. It can cause you to freeze up. Fear can cause you to not make any attempts at improving your life. In phase two, you may
find that you are able to work through the fear, but then as soon as you fail, you stop any actions towards success. And in phase three you decide that fear cannot control you, so you keep moving forward and taking action. The fear still tends to come up for you, but you keep pushing through and you keep taking forward action even if failures occur. Take the risk. You never know what great adventures you will have.

Los Angeles Master Chorale Fetes President & CEO Terry Knowles at LAMC Gala 2015 It was an unforgettable evening of music, glamour and heartfelt tributes when the Los Angeles Master Chorale (LAMC) honored President & CEO Terry Knowles, who stepped down at the conclusion of the season after 15 years of visionary leadership at its annual gala celebration, LAMC Gala 2015, on Sunday, March 1, 2015, at Walt Disney Concert Hall. A highly regarded arts luminary noted for her key role in bringing the chorus to national prominence, Knowles has led the organization since 2000 through the most phenomenal growth period in its 50-year history. Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Adams was the Honorary Gala Chair.
(L-R) LAMC Chair David Ginder, gala Co-Chairs Kiki Ramos Gindler and Annette Ermshar; LAMC President & CEO Terry Knowles (honoree); and LAMC Founding Board Member Marshall Rutter.
The event featured champagne and hors oeuvres in Disney Halls dramatic lobby,
a remarkable private performance by the Chorale conducted by Artistic Director Grant Gershon on stage, a gourmet dinner by Patina in PB Hall, the LAMC’s signature Surround Sing, during which Chorale singers encircle gala patrons and shower them in glorious song, irresistible auction items, and dancing to the music of Wayne Foster Entertainment. BNY Mellon was Gala Benefactor. Kiki Ramos Gindler and LAMC Board Chair David Gindler were Platinum Gala Patrons. The gala raised $475,000 to help support LAMC’s LAMC Composer in Residence Shawn Kirchner, LAMC Artistic Director Grant artistic and education Gershon, Honorary Gala Chair/Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Adprograms throughout ams. - Courtesy Photos the year.
Over 50 members and past members attended, including Lucy Freeman, who joined in 1977, and Sharon Townsend, who traveled the farthest from Danville, CA, which is in the San Francisco area. Ten past presidents of the club attended and were honored by current President Elena Paules they were entertained by five members who spoke on each of the club’s five decades--regaling us with the history of the club, top news stories, inventions, music, TV, and movies. Before email the club kept their members in touch with a phone tree! Past events brought back happy memories (and some laughter) for many club members. Membership was mainly stay-at-home moms in the beginning and membership dropped when they had to go to work during the recession. Then in 1984 we started with 31 members and ended the year with 163! Presently we have over 130 members, mostly retired women as most of our activities are during the day. In between decades, raffle tickets were drawn with members win-
ning great prizes donated by Albertson’s, the LA Arboretum, Armstrong Nursery, Bea’s Knees store, Claim Jumper, Cupcake Cuties, Havin’ A Ball Dance Studio in Arcadia, Home Street Bank (Smitty’s Restaurant), Landmark Trust Escrow Co. (Nordstrom certificate), Pasadena Playhouse, Santa Anita Mall, The Soup Kitchen in Pasadena and the Rose Parade. We wish to extend our thanks to these businesses for their generous gifts. The beautiful orchid centerpieces were also raffled off. Club activities have changed over the years. In 1975 some of the activities were bingo, bowling, tennis, crafts, exercise, card games, mothers of young children group, and golf, which is our longest running activity, with members continuing to golf weekly. Today we have a monthly coffee meetings for all members, with 30 to 50 members attending. A monthly email newsletter is sent detailing club events and activities including a book club, bridge, crafts, games, garden gals, golf, lunch bunch, mahjong, mov-
ie going, pinochle, scrabble, a wine tasting club, tours and travel. Most events take place monthly. A Ladies on the Go group (which aptly describes all of us!) plans monthly outings chosen by members. There are five or six luncheons held by the club yearly with programs for the entertainment or enlightenment of our members. Six tours are scheduled yearly and last year included Mount Wilson Observatory, Graber Olive House in Ontario, San Antonio Winery, Porto’s Bakery in Glendale, and the Nixon Library, with a tour of Norton Simon Museum coming in April. Members can attend as little or as much as they choose and there’s something for everyone! Membership dues are $25 yearly—not much of an increase from 1975’s $7 fee considering how much the cost of living has increased in the past 50 years. New members are always welcome!

How Much Exercise Do You Need and How Do You Stay Motivated? by Stephanie and Hope of move your mountain fitness Most people know that they need to exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle and yet many do not do it. The challenge they face is two-fold: the first challenge is that most people simply do not like exercise, at least not the formal kind such as that done at a gym, workout class or with a trainer. The second challenge is fitting it in to their busy schedules. Given these challenges, the number one question people ask is: “How much exercise do I need to do?” First let’s go over the facts. Current studies show that if you are an adult between the ages of 18-64, looking to maintain your current weight and manage overall health markers, then 250 minutes (4 hours) a week will suffice. However, if you are seeking weight loss, a recent study shows that you will need at least 300 minutes (5 hours) a week of exercise combined with a nutrition plan designed for weight loss. Now let’s look at the big WHY! It seems that health benefits and even weight loss goals are not often enough to keep folks motivated. The key to getting in those 4 to 5 hours a week is to find some reasons that really “hit home” to maintain your motivation. It’s time to go deeper than a clinical reason to be fit and find YOUR own reason, YOUR “why” for wanting to get more fitness into your life. Reasons that will keep you motivated enough for 250 to 300 minutes a
week of exercise! Hint: You are more likely to want to exercise by discovering how it can help you in real life applications. Do this: write down as many reasons as you can think of as to why you “want to” not “have to” exercise. Here are some examples of what might be on your list under the heading: “I want to exercise...” So I can have enough energy to play with my kids or grand kids. So I can feel confident and strong as I age. So I can go on that ski vacation I always wanted. Got the idea? You’ve got your reasons for exercising, now it’s time to schedule your workouts. Attending a one-hour strength training workout three times a week can cover three of those 4-5 hours. You will need to supplement with additional aerobic exercise such as walking, running, cycling, hiking or swimming, or yoga for the remaining 1 or 2 hours… your choice! Feeling short on time? Brief bouts of activity will benefit you! For instance, if you can’t fit in one 30-minute walk during the workweek, aim for three 10-minute walks daily. Take one during your lunch hour, one in the afternoon and one after dinner. These short walks will cover 2.5 hours of aerobic exercise for a 5-day workweek. Get in another hour during the week with just two 30-minute strength training

sessions and you will have completed 3.5 hours of exercise for the work week. When the weekend arrives do a physical activity that you enjoy (hiking, cycling, walking, etc.). By Sunday you will have accomplished your 4 to 5 hours of exercise for the week! Be sure to write your exercise routine into your daily schedule. Once it’s on the schedule, if you feel yourself wavering on a workout, refer back to your list of reasons why you exercise and let them be your guide, your compass leading you back to what you said you wanted to accomplish with improved health and fitness. When you begin seeing the results of your exercise, you may actually look forward to those 250300 minutes! Consult a physician before starting any nutritional or movement program.

And making sure we meet emergency needs, prepare for short term problems, and advance longer-term projects are an important part of that effort." "I want to thank the Governor, the pro Tem and the Speaker for inviting us today. We were briefed on this proposal just this morning, and so far it sounds like a good approach. We need to review the legislation in detail but it seems like a reasonable start," said Senate Replican Leader Bob Huff. "Republicans have consistently said that storage is essential for providing a reliable water source to all of California for future generations. The Prop 1 water bond that was passed last year is a critical step forward in meeting the needs for California’s future. There’s no question California’s drought crisis has worsened, as once again we’ve experienced a dry winter. With the hot
summer months approaching, it’s incumbent on all Californians to be responsible with how they use water. It’s critical that we act now." "This emergency drought relief is an important band aid," said Assembly Republican Leader Kristin Olsen. "We must move beyond temporary fixes. Projects to increase water supply have been hung up in government red tape for decades. I'm glad today we are making decisions that help people and look to us all to take real actions on long-term projects so emergency actions are no longer needed." The Sierra Nevada snowpack, which Californians rely on heavily during the dry summer months for their water needs, is at a near record low. The March snowpack measurement came in at 0.9 inches of water content in the snow, just five percent of the March 3rd historical average for the measurement site. The overall water content for the Northern Sierra snowpack came in at 4.4 inches, just 16 percent of average for the date. Central and

The package accelerates $128 million in expenditures from the Governor’s budget to provide direct assistance to workers and communities impacted by drought and to implement the Water Action Plan. It also includes $272 million in Proposition 1 Water Bond funding for safe drinking water and water recycling and accelerates $660 million from the Proposition 1E for flood protection in urban and rural areas. "Taken together, this package provides a major boost to our state’s efforts to manage the drought and strengthen our infrastructure," said pro Tempore De León.

The device is commonly used to “fish” or remove small packages by dropping the glue board into the box in an effort to stick it to a package, then pulling it out by the attached cord. It appeared the glue board got stuck to the interior of the drop box and the suspect was unable to remove it.

When one of the subjects came at the other aggressively, the second subject armed himself with a hockey stick, but never struck the man or vehicle. While interviewing the subjects, several witnesses approached Officers described the verbal altercation between the two men, with some stating the vehicles did not in fact make contact but came close to it. Officers were unable to determine the primary aggressor in the incident, and both men were warned and released. This case has been forwarded to the Detectives Bureau for follow up. At 5:32 p.m., Sierra Madre Police responded to the 600 Block of Sierra Meadows Dr. regarding suspicious circumstances. The subject informed Officers that several hours earlier, she received a phone call at her business from a female stating she was responding to an employment ad advertised on an online network for the position of care giver. The female continued to inform the subject that she called the number on the ad and a man directed her to a webpage to download the job application then to fax it, but she realized the fax the man gave her did not match the fax listed on the webpage. So the female called the subject’s business to clarify. The subject informed the female that her company did not recently advertise online and the female provided the subject with the man’s cellphone number. The subject called the number acting as if she was responding to the job ad and the man gave his name and webpage to download the job application. The subject visited the webpage and realized the job application was identical to her own business’s application. The subject searched the man’s name online and came across information that a man with the same name had been arrested in the past for a health care fraud scheme and collected $20 million from Medicare. At this time it is not known if a crime has occurred. This case has been forwarded to the Secret Service for further investigation.

Union Installs Billboards Launched to Low Income Health Care Workers SEIU United Long Term Care Workers (ULTCW) launched a campaign Monday placing over 100 billboards across LA County that highlight the fact that County in-home care providers earn a poverty wage of $9.65 an hour, and encouraging passersby to help change that by supporting their efforts to win a pathway to earning $15 an hour. The billboards, which
are a part of ULTCW’s LA County contract campaign known as We Care LA, note that over 160,000 low-income seniors and people with disabilities in LA County rely on In-Home Support Services (IHSS) providers for their care and independence. While the demand for these workers and the care they provide is on the rise, their poverty wage of $9.65 makes it impossible to pro-

ITEM:
Code Amendments Relating to Massage Businesses
APPLICANT:
City of San Gabriel
PROJECT ADDRESS:
Citywide
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of San Gabriel proposes to amend certain sections of the Municipal Code to restore limitations as to the zones in which massage establishments may be located and restore the requirement that massage establishments obtain a conditional use permit to ameliorate the negative impacts of such businesses and to protect the public. Section 153.003 will be amended to clarify the distinction between massage facilities, services and technicians and other types of personal care facilities, services and technicians, and Section 153.151(D) will be amended to require massage establishments in the C-1, C-3 and commercial zones of the Valley Boulevard Specific Plan area to obtain a conditional use permit. Section 153.242 will be added to require massage establishments to provide a detailed floor plan when applying for a conditional use permit and to allow the City Council to take into account the number of massage establishments in the vicinity in determining compatibility and Section 153.427 will be added to address the amortization and discontinuance of nonconforming massage establishments. Massage Establishments that have a Certificate of Operation prior to January 20, 2015 will have until January 20, 2020 to apply for a conditional use permit. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) under the general rule that CEQA does not apply to activities which can be seen with certainty to have no effect on the environment. Changing the regulations relating to Massage Establishments will not create any environmental impacts.

vide for their families and is a leading cause for excessive turnover rates. In addition to earning poverty wages, LA County IHSS providers also do not receive sick leave, vacation time, or retirement benefits. “I love taking care of people that need my help, but I also need to be able to survive,” said IHSS provider Albertina Washington, who has been a home care provider for over 30 years. “Every day it’s harder to live off of the poverty wages that I currently receive because I’m either struggling to pay bills or putting food on the table.” According to research, of the 140,000 IHSS providers in LA County, 83% are women, 81% live in poverty with 33% receiving public assistance and 18% relying on CalFresh to feed their families. In addition to lifting workers out of poverty, placing home care workers on a pathway to earning $15 an hour will help lower annual turnover rates of 60% and attract the additional workers needed to fulfill the growing demand for home care services. With more than 1,000 California baby boomers turning 65 years old every day, studies show the demand for home care services in LA County alone is expected to reach 213,000 by 2020. Unless workers are given a livable wage, there is great concern that the future needs of our senior population will go unmet. When visiting the We Care LA website (www.WeCareLA.us), supporters are asked to take action by signing a petition of support, endorsing the campaign, and sending an online letter to LA County Supervisors that calls on them to do right by home care workers by lifting them out of poverty.

Johnson SAN GABRIEL Editor’s note: Dorothy says she agrees that cat and dog overpopulation is one of the few sensible subjects she has written about in her column because Dorothy’s Place is not meant to be sensible. It is just meant to be a fun column with a little life philosophy thrown in for good measure. She also agrees that spay/neuter is an absolute necessity locally, nationwide, worldwide. However, it is just a treatment, not a cure. While treating we must continue to research for a cure. By the way, she is happy to know you are still reading her column even though she threw her ironing board away. (Ref.: D’s Place ‘Goodbye Ironing Board’ July 18, 2013 Letter to the Editor C.

BeaconMediaNews.com
was the only one to vote no on the Highlands HOA appeal to turn down mansion development. Is that a coincidence? Only if you believe in the tooth fairy. The appearance of corruption cannot be ignored. Money is flowing from developers to the City Council to approve giant mansions in Arcadia. Residents and their votes are clearly being ignored in favor of big money developers. Keep the bright light on the City Council. Small town corruption is alive and well in Arcadia. -Peter Corrigan Via pasadenaindependent. com OUR WATER!
Before the beginning of World War II, a forwardlooking 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 in existence that Pasadena had for water coming 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
Science @ 2 Saturdays
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 10/9/13, 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 more than 10,000 acre feet, even though Arcadia continues to pump from the same aquifer. On the other side, the City of Sierra Madre asked the people to conserve, which the people responded with a reduction of approximately 25%, as evidenced by that much of a reduction of monetary income. So what did the government do? They put in place a mandatory 30% reduction of water use, followed by only allowing landscape watering two days per week. Other local cities have only the 20%voluntary reduction as does the California State. The people also responded to the 30% conservation. So, what has the Sierra Madre Government done in appreciation? After several minor increases of the water rates, they really hammered the people with rate increasing of over 41% in 2014. In every case, they said the money was to be used for the 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

It is recommended by the American Cancer Society that after 50 years of age everyone should have a colonoscopy. The same should be true for a periodontal exam. Diagnosing and treating an early issue has far greater benefits than an advanced diagnosis. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 47.2 percent or 64.7 million American adults have periodontal disease ranging from
mild to severe. In adults 65 and older, prevalence rates increase to 70.1 percent. Early colorectal cancer is asymptomatic, as is periodontal disease. Screening examinations are critical to early treatment of both diseases. In deciding who should do your colonoscopy examination, do you go to a family physician or a gastroenterologist? It is equally important in deciding who does your periodontal examination. Do you choose
a restorative dentist or a board certified periodontist? Be certain, periodontal disease is a bacterial inflammatory infection that has well-documented effects on our overall health (cardiovascular / heart disease, osteoporosis, respiratory disease, and can be associated with kidney, pancreatic and blood cancers). Be proactive! Schedule a periodontal examination today. Written by J. Paul Fuentes, DDS, DABP

Lively STOMP Entertainers to Perform At Retired Teachers’ Meeting A bang-up performance by a STOMP group from Temple City’s Oak Ave. Intermediate School will be featured at the April meeting of the California Retired Teachers’ Association #71SGV (CalRTA #71). Traditional instruments aren’t used by the twenty seventh and eighth grade performers. Instead, they happily pound or play on nontraditional “instruments,” such as metal trash cans, broom-
sticks, bouncing balls, and any other sound-producing device that can be used as percussion, says teacher Jack Taylor. The challenge is to stay in step and keep the rhythm. The CalRTA #71 luncheon meeting will take place on Friday, April 10, at 11:30 a.m. at the Senior Center Building in Arcadia Park (county park), 405 W. Santa Anita Avenue, Arcadia, next to the Lawn Bowling Greens. Guests are welcome to come for the luncheon and to enjoy

George Bernard Shaw’s classic stage play Pygmalion has a long, esteemed history.

a greater sense of humanity. Despite his profound condescension in almost every line he speaks, Turk’s Henry is sympathetic, even charming, as a man who, even though is an expert at human speech, cannot seem to truly connect with those who might love him. Dueling with Turk’s performance, Paige Lindsey White’s masterful portrayal as Eliza is captivating, preserving the poetry of Shaw’s dialogue while carrying complex emotional weight. Additionally, they are bolstered by a wonderful supporting cast—especially with Mary Anne McGarry and Time Winters, who play Mrs. Higgins and Alfred Doolittle, respectively. The play generally stays truthful to Shaw’s original text which, in past productions, has seen its ending changed completely to appeal to a broader audience demanding a happier ending. K u b z a n s k y, however, does make a slight, yet important change—but not to any dialogue nor plot points. Rather, it is in the final few seconds that those who are familiar with the source material will surely notice. Whether such a choice
is seen as an improvement or not, it at least brings greater poignancy to one of its central messages: Even a guttersnipe deserves to be treated like a lady. Pygmalion will run at The Pasadena Playhouse, 39 South El Molino Ave., Pasadena, CA 91107, until April 12th, 2015. Weekday performances: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m. Weekend performances: Saturdays at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets available online at PasadenaPlayhouse. org, by calling (626) 3567529 and the Box Office which is open Tuesday to Sunday from 1pm-6pm.

For the Ladies and Gentlemen Who Brunch: Wistaria
March 26, 2015 - April 1, 2015 | 13
2015 Pasadena Cheeseburger Week CHEESEBURGER CHALLENGE
By Ea Nicole Madrigal It’s just another beautiful, blue sky spring day in the San Gabriel Valley. The early afternoon serves as the perfect time to treat yourself to brunch at one of the Valley’s best hidden gems nestled into the foothills: Wistaria. As my waiter informed me upon his arrival at my table, Wistaria is operated by the same people who own Mike and Anne’s Restaurant and Bar in South Pasadena, also considered quite the low-key hot spot for Valley locals. Everything about Wistaria is simple but elegant -from its décor to its dishes. If you have visited Mike and Anne’s before, you likely already know much of Wistaria’s menu which sticks to the classics and traditions of its predecessor for its culinary successes. Both restaurants serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Why is Wistaria worth the visit for brunch, specifically? Let’s say you’re a single gal or guy looking for a quiet place to catch up on some reading, enjoy the breathtaking views of Mt. Wilson, or just hoping to people watch – and you have a dog that you don’t want to leave home – Wistaria provides outdoor seating on the bustling sidewalks of Sierra Madre Boulevard where your pooch can relax under your feet as you indulge in a brunch time treat! But, it is not just a place to go solo. Take a friend, take a date, or take a group. And whether you choose to hang outside or go into their small but stylish dining room, you will be sure to feel comfortable and welcome by their friendly, pre-
pared staff members. During my visit, I was advised to try one of Wistaria’s signature dishes: the Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes. Interestingly, lemon ricotta pancakes have begun to pop up at different San Gabriel Valley cafes and restaurants as a promising brunch item. Yet, as I have learned in the past, unless prepared with care, the pancake can flop! Wistaria’s version of this pancake, however, did not disappoint. The lemon flavor was so subtle that my two pancakes, combined
sion, so I ended up with two pancakes, two plump, juicy pieces of bacon, and two sunny-side up eggs. Combined with an orange juice, this was my kind of brunch! And if your kind of brunch includes a little cocktail, no problem, because Wistaria has you covered there as well. Wistaria is an unassuming restaurant, and it is the very last major business located on a small strip on Sierra Madre Boulevard in the quaint city of Sierra Madre. This hidden oasis

with just a little maple syrup added on top, provided for an impeccable tasting. The dish also comes with a small serving of blueberry syrup on the side, but the maple more than sufficed for me. The result: two perfectly sweetened pancakes (with just a hint of lemon) that seem to melt in your mouth. Even better, the waiter suggested that I substitute the two pancakes in Wistaria’s “2 x 2 x 2” meal with the lemon ricotta ver-

Month-Long Campaign to Spay and Neuter Free-Roaming Cats
noW, There is AnoTher ChoiCe... Chapman Funeral Homes are very proud to open our own Funeral Home here in the San Gabriel Valley.

During the month of April, the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA will offer no-cost spay and neuter surgeries, plus free rabies vaccinations as part of “Community Cat,” PetSmart Charities’ spay/neuter campaign to alter free-roaming cats. If left unaltered, feral and stray cats produce large quantities of unwanted kittens each spring, flooding local animal shelters and leading to higher euthana-

Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population and is safe for kittens as young as eight to ten weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Between Alligator Purses and Jaguar Claws A Day in the Life of a Wildlife Inspector at LAX by Jennifer Schlueter When Alli Goldman, wildlife inspector at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), led me into her office’s property room, I was flabbergasted by what I saw: stuffed lions, sea turtles, alligators, pangolins, birds, a tiger, a polar bear carpet and an alligator purse with the heads still on, jaguar claws, intricate ivory carvings, granulated tiger bones, snake skin, cheetah coats, and so much more. The most disturbing piece of this collection was an elephant foot which served as a chair and had a zebra cover. All these goods were seized during inspections of imports and exports of international air and ocean cargo; for example, passenger baggage or mail shipments. Travelers – hunters, tourists, and natives alike - either did not possess a permit for them, tried to smuggle them, or simply were oblivious to the fact that their souvenirs or medicinal products stem from protected animals. Goldman’s job is to catch these illegal imports, issue fines, inspect incoming wildlife shipments, and, most importantly, guard the endangered species of our planet. When she discovered her first African trophy shipment, a full elephant skull, Alli broke out in tears. Soon, she came to realize that this would be the unfortunate nature of her job, with which she still struggles at times. On much better days, Alli gets to inspect live shipments of animals such as red pandas, tigers, penguins, and monkeys, one of which is The Hangover movie series’ “actor” Crystal. Seized live animals are removed from commercial activity and donated to public institutions such as zoos, aquariums, or exhibits. Because about 80% of live corals for the US enter through LAX, Alli inspects a lot of coral shipments on a regular day. Live birds and reptiles, and wildlife products such as exotic leathers are commonly examined as well, followed by rarer live shipments of tigers, monkeys, leopards, and other rare creatures. While still attending university and without any idea about the job of a wildlife inspector, Alli went to a presentation about government jobs and landed herself an interview. When she met with the former manager of the wildlife inspectors’ office, she was thrilled to hear that she could combine her sense of justice with her love
for animals. For people who are interested in her job, she recommends they “get a four-year degree in a related field such as biology or criminal justice” and to secure an internship. Additionally, interested candidates should not only have a passion for animals, but also for constant learning, working in a team, and the environment. When other people ask Alli about her job, they’re al-
ways “in awe,” she says. They love it, and so does she: “I love getting to learn about all of the different species and interact with rare animals that I might not even see in a zoo. It feels great at the end of the day to know that I am working hard to combat extinction and ensure that these amazing animals will be around for future generations.”

County Supes Order Flawed Communications System Be Fixed On a motion by Mayor Michael D. Antonovich, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to end the immediate construction of a network of antenna sites proposed as part of a dedicated emergency communication system. Citing health risks to firefighters and local residents, along with local community concerns and a lack of transparency, Mayor Antonovich’s motion calls for an outreach campaign and a legislative effort to extend the grant funding deadline, among other things. “While a reliable communications platform is
vital to preserve life and property during times of natural or made-made disasters, our employees and residents need to be assured that there are no health risks, and adequate notification should be made to local communities and impacted homeowners on planned cell towers," he said. The motion calls for the Board to send a letter to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce and Congressional representatives, as well as meetings during the Board’s upcoming trip to Washington D.C. to extend the grant dead-
line of September 30, 2015. It also requests the Joint Powers Authority, in coordination with the Fire Chief and Sheriff, to host regional community meetings with current and former member cities, impacted residents and employees. The action also permitted the construction for only those sites that do not have any opposition from residents or employees. A progress report on alternative revenue sources and models for back-up systems will be delivered to the Board of Supervisors in 30 days.

But this apparent savings comes at a cost, because a good accountant is likely to find many thousands of dollars in savings in a single tax return, and they are far less liable to make a mistake.” Marriage offers additional tips for consideration this tax season. • Have your records handy, and consider a longterm relationship. Not only is it advantageous to file taxes through a CPA, it’s also smart to have all relevant records readily available at your disposal – no matter who is helping you with your return. “Not only do I strongly advise you to use a reputable CPA that you can trust, I also think you should try to establish a long-term relationship with him or her,” Marriage says. “Think of a financial professional as similar to a doctor or lawyer – the better they know you, the better off you’ll be. Highnet-worth individuals have the most incentive for professional financial services, even if they’ve made a hobby of saving money by doing things their own way.” • High-income earners pay the vast majority of income taxes – don’t volunteer more. Taxpayers with incomes exceeding $100,000 earn 60 percent of the country’s income, yet contribute 95.2 percent of the income taxes, according to recent estimates from Congress’s
Joint Committee on Taxation. Additionally, those earning more than $100,000 – a bit more than 20 percent of taxpayers – pay for 75.7 percent of total federal taxes, excluding the burden on corporate and investment taxes. “There are many highincome earners who are passionate about their careers and love what they do; they care more about their work than their income,” he says. “These tend to be the folks who need reminders that there are legal avenues available for protecting their hard-earned money.” • High-net-worth individuals should consider CRAT. Many people, financial professionals with years of experience, do not know about Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts, a form of financial protection that Marriage often teaches to CPAs. CRATs are a flexible and effective instrument used in financial and estate planning. A CRAT provides a significant tax shelter for any assets and property placed within it. That allows any assets in a charitable remainder annuity trust to increase in value without being taxed on the increase. A well-constructed CRAT can provide financial security for the annuitants. “CRATs are surprisingly underutilized, but many CPAs I run into simply don’t know about it,” Marriage says. “It’s worth asking your financial advisor about, and if your advisor is unfamiliar with the structure, encourage him or her to look into it.” Gary Marriage Jr. is the founder and CEO of Nature Coast Financial Advisors (www.naturecoastfinancial.
com), which educates retirees on how to protect their assets, increase their income and reduce their taxes. Marriage is a national speaker, delivering solutions for preretirees, business owners and seniors on the areas affecting their retirement and estates. He is an approved member of the National Ethics Bureau, and has been featured in “America’s Top Hometown Financial Advisors 2011” and most recently selected to co-author a book with Steve Forbes titled, “SuccessOnomics: Power Principles.” Marriage is also the founder of Operation Veteran Aid, an advocate for war-time veterans and their families.

Chavez Looking Forward to Mayoral Role Continued from page 1
City a great place to live.” Blum reflected on the past year in a speech to the council. “I’m proud to say that the council has, for the most part, accomplished the major tasks that it set out to do,” said Blum, who chose not to seek reelection. “I’m happy to have had the opportunity to serve with four intelligent, dedicated and hardworking colleagues.” Blum also said that some of his proudest accomplishments were restoring faith in city government, initiating the Citizen’s Academy program and completing the city’s strategic plan. Councilmember Fernando Vizcarra, who was termed out after two consecutive four-year terms, wished the new council well. “I wish the new councilmembers much luck and hope that they continue to
embrace and welcome our citizens,” said Vizcarra. Vizcarra listed a few of his proudest accomplishments, including the establishment of the Walter Temple bust at Temple City Park and the weekly Farmer’s Market. Councilmember Vincent Yu was named mayor pro tempore, with the duty of filling in as mayor at city functions if an absence occurs. Yu is currently serving his sixth year on the council. Mayor Chavez will lead the council during a year of change in the city. Las Tunas Drive, one of the city’s main downtown areas, is set to have its revitalization plans completed in early 2016. Chavez said he looks forward to seeing how the improvements will boost the city’s businesses and nightlife. “The revitalization of Las Tunas Drive will attract a lot of business and
improve our quality of life,” Chavez said. “I’m really excited to see the final result.” Incumbent councilmember Cynthia Sternquist was the top vote getter in the March 3 election and was reelected to another four-year term. A former educator, Sternquist is a fiveyear veteran of the council and previously served as a Parks and Recreation Commissioner. The Council also welcomed two newly elected members, William Man and Nanette Fish, whose elections were certified at the meeting. Man is a civil engineer with the L.A. County Department of Public Works and previously served as chairman of the General Plan Advisory Committee. Fish previously served on the Parks and Recreation Commission and as director of the city’s annual Camellia Festival. Tom Chavez – Photo by Terry Miller

Temple City Bike Shop
Temple City Bike Shop is a premium quality bicycle shop that has been a part of the San Gabriel Valley community for almost 40 years. The family-owned business was established by John Spielmann, Sr. in 1977, and is now owned by his son John Spielmann, Jr. and managed by Ron Mckiernan. Located in the heart of Temple
father. “Big John has taught me so much… He’s been close to the family for many years.” In 1981, Spielmann Sr. moved the bicycle shop from a small non-air-conditioned space to the 4,000 sq. ft. location it’s currently at. After decades of dedication, Spielmann Sr. managed to turn the store into one of the most prominent bicycle shops in the

City, the well-known bike shop provides the community with a variety of bicycle services, including full bike repairs, safety workshops, fashionable attire, bike fittings, cycling accessories, and hundreds of bicycles to choose from. Spielmann Sr. took a chance when he bought a small existing bike shop with only nine Schwinn bikes and an assortment of parts. Spielmann Sr., who had formerly worked at an engineering company, was a bicycle enthusiast with plenty of experience restoring bikes. Six months after purchasing the business, Spielmann Sr. met Ron Mckiernan, the current and long-time manager. Mckiernan, who joined the Temple City Bike Shop at the age of 15, said he considers Spielmann Sr. to be like a second
San Gabriel Valley. In 2005, Spielmann Sr. retired and gave the business to his son John Spielmann Jr., who has owned it ever since. According to Mckiernan, the foundation of the company rests upon catering to costumers, bike restorations and merchandise. “We’re known for our customer service, repair work and sales. We listen to the buyer, ask them their goals … our biggest concern is making sure the costumer gets what they’re looking for.” The store also holds safety workshops to educate local riders. “We show riders how to change a brake cable, change an inner tube, what to do if stranded on the road,” said Mckiernan. In regards to the obstacles the company faces, Mckiernan said their main issue is that many people
still believe it doesn’t matter where they purchase their bike. “The problem is many people still think a bike is a bike, they’ll buy a bike at a discount store paying only for it being assembled, but it doesn’t mention anything about being adjusted.” To solve the problem, Temple City Bike Shop makes efforts to educate their costumers on the importance of bike customization. Serving almost every demographic, Temple City Bike Shop carries a wide range of bicycles suitable for children, adults, males and females, including mountain, hybrid, comfort, fixies, and beach cruisers, to name a few. Aside from the large selection of bicycles, the store also has dozens of clothing items and accessories. Such as: cycling tops, bottoms, shoes, helmets, seats, gloves, and sunglasses. According to Mckiernan, the bike shop’s main goals are to continue to grow and keep serving the San Gabriel Valley with all bicycle related needs. Contact Temple City Bike Shop at (626) 287-6936, email TCbikeshop@yahoo. com or visit them at 9628 Las Tunas Dr. Temple City, CA 91780.

Arcadia’s Fresh & Easy to Shut Down April 3 By Terry Miller Fresh & Easy announced Friday that they are closing about 30 stores, including Arcadia, Azusa and Pasadena stores. Company CEO Jim Keyes said the stores to be closed were not performing to expectations. “While the decision to close any store is always difficult, we believe it’s really important to use this oppor- Courtesy Photo
tunity to redeploy the cash that we’re spending in these locations into other locations that are better suited to the needs of the customers,” Keyes said. Since 2007, Fresh & Easy has struggled to establish itself in a crowded landscape for natural and organic grocery stores. It was the brainchild of Tesco, a huge supermarket in England.
It was Tesco's first venture into the U.S. market. Analysts said the company made a mistake when it tried to transplant its British retail format with private-label products and little to no service. In 2013, Fresh & Easy filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after operating for several years without earning a profit.

Irwindale Speedway in Jeopardy By Terry Miller Irwindale officials tentatively approved plans this week to demolish the iconic Irwindale Speedway to make room for a 700,000-square-foot outlet mall. City Council will hold a public hearing about the project at a meeting where officials are also expected to approve a development agreement with Irwindale Outlets Partners, LLC, change the site’s zoning code to commercial, and certify the final Environmental Impact Report. Jim Cohan, President /CEO of Irwindale Event Center had this to say to fans: “I'd like to take a moment to address the reports circulating in recent days regarding the planned redevelopment of the IEC property. As many already know, the property was purchased in 2013 from the previous owners, Nu-Way Industries. The new owners, Lindom Co., and their principals reached out to us shortly thereafter and there has been a good line of communication since.

We will always shoot it to you straight. That's a promise. “I know the racing community loves ‘Irwindale.’ I know thousands of you would love it to be around for decades to come, as would I. Unfortunately that is something that's not in our control. What we can say, and say with conviction, is that we will keep opening the gates, dropping green flags, posting low ET's, serving hot dogs and beer, soda and kettle corn ... and doing our level best to put on motorsports events and other activities that families can thoroughly enjoy together for as long as we are able to ... until the final checkered flag.
“But for now, let's celebrate the start of our 2015 season which looks to be awesome. We pledge to provide the same sort of great entertainment, education, and excitement that fans have always come to Irwindale Event Center for. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the grandstands and personally shaking a lot of hands. Thank you for your support and for being a true part of our IEC family.” The 63-acre site, bordered by the San Gabriel Valley Freeway and Live Oak Avenue, has changed uses several times since the 1960s, when it was a quarry, mined for sand and gravel by Pacific Rock. Irwindale Speedway called it home in 1999. When Irwindale Outlet Partners, LLC purchased the property for $22 million in September 2013, the owner extended the lease with 211 Enterprises, which operates the Irwindale Event Center, on a year-by-year basis. Construction could possibly begin as early as January 2016, but because a date has not been finalized, it is not clear if the lease will be renewed for the 2016 season.

Brad Keselowski Wins at Fontana Drivers Raced in Front of a Sold Out Crowd of 68,000 Fans at the Auto Club 400 By Bill Harrington With just under twenty laps remaining, Matt Kenseth was leading the race. It was shaping up to be a fuel race and Kenseth had enough fuel to reach the end. However, the first of three cautions for debris ended Kenseth’s chance at a victory when he suffered a rear broken axle. Under caution, Brad Keselowski’s crew chief made the call to go with
four tires while Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch went with only two. This decision proved to work in Keselowski’s favor. The last two cautions set up two attempts at a green white checkered finish and allowed Keselowski to close the distance from 17th to a last lap victory by passing Kurt Busch. Busch brushed the wall and ended third behind Kevin Harvick. Kurt
Busch had the fastest car at practice and won the Pole. This was his second race of the season after returning from a three race suspension. Kevin Harvick has two wins and has finished 5th or better in the first five races of this season. Prior to his victory this Sunday, Brad Keselowski’s best finish at the California Speedway had been 18th place. He finally got a Fon-

After going three innings without a run, it seemed like both the La Salle Lancers and the Cantwell-Sacred Heart Cardinals girls’ softball teams were going to have a slow day at the ballpark. But the Cardinals broke the deadlock in the fourth inning, and the Lancers were unable to hold back the pressure, losing 5-2 Tuesday afternoon at Arcadia County Park and ending a three-game winning

You’ve got to be aggressive early in the count and we weren’t doing that well.” Although both sides were struggling to get on the board offensively, the Lancers were the ones opening up the field defensively, and the Cardinals

Local Continuation Schools Recognized for Innovative Programs State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced the designation of 29 Model Continuation High Schools. These schools are being recognized for providing innovative programs and comprehensive services to students who may have otherwise been at risk of not graduating. “These outstanding schools provide teaching approaches that better serve their students and give them every chance to flourish,” Torlakson said. “Our goal is to ensure that every student receives a high-quality education and, upon graduation, that every student has a plan for the future and the skills necessary to succeed.” Continuation high schools meet the needs of
students aged 16 years or older who lack sufficient school credits to graduate. The minimum attendance is 15 hours per week or 180 minutes daily. Students benefit from the supplemental programs and services, such as independent study courses, career counseling, job placement, apprenticeships, and concurrent enrollment in community college. More than 62,000 students attended the California’s 480 continuation high schools in the 2013–14 school year. The Model Continuation High School Recognition Program is a partnership between the California Department of Education (CDE) and the California Continuation Education Association (CCEA). A benefit
of this joint effort is the establishment of a resource list of quality programs. Schools on this list can serve as models for other continuation schools. The selected schools, which retain their title for three years, will be recognized at the 2015 CCEA State Conference held in May in San Francisco. The schools include Del Mar High School in San Gabriel, North Park High School in Baldwin Park, Allan F. Daily High School in Glendale, Arrow High School and Sierra High School in Glendora, Century High School in Alhambra, and San Antonio High School in Claremont. For information on continuation education, please visit the CDE Continuation Education Web page or the CCEA Web site.
Duarte’s Hanging Tree at Historical Museum A large stump of Duarte’s deceased Hanging Tree is now on display at the Duarte Historical Museum. Cured, polished and proudly sporting a bronze commemorative plaque, the old oak stump sits before a framed exhibit featuring photos depicting the tree in happier days. Back in the heyday of Route 66 its branches gracefully guarded The Oakleigh Motel. Later it spread its limbs in the courtyard of a building on the south side of Huntington Drive just east of Highland behind the 7-Eleven. Inexplicably, the tree collapsed in the early morning hours of October 8 last year,

and accessibility of housing and the current residential patterns and conditions related to fair housing choice. Fair housing choice should be understood as the ability of persons of similar incomes to have available to them the same housing choices, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin. An impediment to fair housing choice is an action, omission, or decision taken because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin that restricts housing choices or the availability of housing choice. It is also any action, omission and/or decision that has this kind of effect. Policies, practices or procedures that appear neutral on their face, but which operate to deny or adversely affect the provision of housing to persons (in any particular protected class) may constitute such impediments. The City's first AI was completed in 1997 by the Fair Housing Council of San Gabriel Valley and the Center for Choice in Housing. A five-year update to the City’s AI was completed in 2000, 2006, and 2010 by the Southern California Housing Rights Center. The analysis of impediments to fair housing choice in any community is a delicate and tedious process. The City recognizes the effect that discrimination has in limiting housing choice and equal opportunity in renting, selling and financing housing. The City continues its commitment to make a significant impact in affirmatively furthering fair housing and eliminating impediments to fair housing choice by offering housing programs without impediments based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. The City continually increases the awareness of the availability and benefits of City programs regarding housing choice and housing assistance through public information to the community. This information is distributed to the community in a number of ways, including notices placed in newspapers, radio and on the City's website. This proves to be a positive impact on the community by ensuring that the community is aware of the different services provided by the City of Rosemead. NOTICE OF DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: Notice is hereby given that copies of the five-year Analysis of Impediments are available at the City of Rosemead’s Community Development Department and the City Clerk's Office, and at the Rosemead Library. Interested parties wishing to obtain a copy, in either written or alternate format, should contact the City's Community Development Director, Michelle G. Ramirez, at (626) 569-2158.

TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS The City of Rosemead’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Plan) for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2020 which includes the Annual Action Plan for the Fiscal Year (FY) period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 will be available for public review and comment beginning Thursday, March 26, 2015. The City of Rosemead welcomes any recommendations, suggestions, or other input on this Plan. The Plan has been prepared according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations. A copy of HUD’s final rule (issued January 5, 1995, Federal Register) is available upon request The Plan is a planning document for the jurisdiction, an application for federal funds under HUD’s formula grant programs (Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grants, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS), a strategy to be followed in carrying out HUD programs, and an action plan that provides a basis for assessing performance. The City’s current Plan is set to expire on June 30, 2015. The Annual Action Plan includes the proposed activities, resources and expenditures for the CDBG and HOME programs. HUD requires a Five Year Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan in order for the City to receive federal funds under the CDBG and HOME programs. In past years, these monies has been used for a wide variety of activities, including housing rehabilitation, commercial rehabilitation, code enforcement, graffiti removal and various capital improvements including street improvements, curb cuts for the handicapped and park facilities. The City has been notified by HUD that Rosemead will be receiving $647,307 in CDBG funds for FY 2015-16, which is over a 1% increase from its FY 2014-15 allocation, and $214,113 in HOME funds, which is over a 6% cut from its FY 2014-15 allocation. When combined with projected carryover funds and anticipated program income, the City anticipates having a total of $756,057 of CDBG funds available and $736,162 in HOME funds available for the 201516 year. It should be noted that only three broad funding categories are considered eligible under CDBG-regulations. A project must either provide benefits to low or moderate-income persons, eliminate slum or blighted conditions, or is an urgent need. In addition, of the CDBG funds received, no more than 15% of the annual grant amount can be used for public services and no more than 20% of the grant amount can be used for Planning and Administrative services. More than 70% of all funds received must be used for lowto-moderate income activities. Of the HOME funds received, no more than 10% can be used for administrative and program delivery activities. 15% is set aside for Community Housing Development Organizations, as constituted under the regulations. The balance of funds can only be used for housing activities. The Plan will be available for public examination and copying starting Thursday, March 26, 2015. Persons interested in reviewing

Written comments must be addressed to: City of Rosemead Community Development Department 8838 E. Valley Boulevard Rosemead, California 91770 Attention: Mrs. Michelle Ramirez Community Development Director The City of Rosemead plans to minimize displacement of persons as a result of CDBG and HOME funded activities by concentrating the expenditure of these funds on activities that: 1. Involve housing rehabilitation moderate in nature, or 2. Include administrative and planning costs not accepting displacement. However, understanding that certain projects undertaken with CDBG and HOME funds could result in displacement, the City of Rosemead has developed a plan to assist persons actually displaced by CDBG and HOME activities. This plan requires that the City provide replacement housing and relocation assistance and benefits in conformance with Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended. A copy of the plan is available for public inspection. In addition, pursuant to Section 508 of the Act, the City of Rosemead has developed and is following a detailed Citizen Participation Plan. A copy of the plan is available for public inspection. In addition to Standard Form 424, the Annual Action Plan includes the appropriate Certifications.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

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 are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

March College Search Guide: The Road To College By May S. Ruiz For some high schoolers, spring break comes this month. It may well be a welcome respite for your children, a time to recharge as they head towards the end of the school year. While it is an opportunity for them to relax, it is also a chance to evaluate where they are on their schoolwork. FRESHMAN: Your children should have all their grades on track. They need to concentrate on maintaining good study habits now to be better equipped to handle the rigors of the workload in the coming years. If they haven’t been reading much, they should seriously consider taking up reading as a hobby during spring break. This will help them increase their vocabulary, which they will need to take the SATs, and as preparation for writing their essay. They need to line up their summer activities. Their grade dean would have some ideas as to how they can explore their passions and research summer opportunities. SOPHOMORE: Tenth graders who are taking AP courses need to reg-
ister for the AP exams administered in May. While there are a slew of small independent tutoring schools offering courses to prepare for the AP tests, some children do not need to take on this additional burden on their already busy schedules. Your children have enough on their plate with the intensive homework associated with an advanced placement course. Your kids would still have to show competence on the AP exams as all scores are submitted to the College Board - all the colleges to which your children apply will see the AP scores. Your children should also take the SAT subject tests. Your children’s teachers could provide guidance on what they need to prepare for. They might want to ask the teachers in that particular course for study suggestions, review packets, and sample tests. There are also test prep books available in bookstores and online. In my daughter’s school, teachers tell their students that the best way to prepare is by doing their best throughout the academic year, being familiar with the information the test covers, and effectively re-
viewing the concepts learned in class. Furthermore, they encourage their students to take some practice tests to understand the structure of the exam, and to know what to expect on the day of the test. Needless to say, students should read the directions carefully, understand how it is scored, and be aware of the time limit, on testing day. Your children may want to consult their class dean regarding summer activities – academic enrichment programs, volunteer work, or part-time employment. College admissions officers are looking for students who explored their passions while getting good grades. JUNIOR: Besides registering and preparing for the SAT or ACT, your children should use the spring break to visit college campuses. If possible, they should have a prepared college visit checklist with a page or several pages allotted for each school. For each of the schools, they would need to write their overall impressions – what they liked most or least. They should write their observations by categories:

Wu, who lives in Temple City, received the award during the 23rd Cal State L.A. Symposium on Research, Scholarship and Creativity. The symposium is aimed at encouraging Cal State L.A. students in every discipline to showcase their papers, projects and research endeavors. “I am grateful and humbled that Phi Kappa Phi “I’m hoping that my chose to recognize my hard results will help improve work and research through the design of heat exchangthis generous grant,” Wu ers, which may help reduce said. “This award will allow their environmental impact me to attend conferences and costs,” she said. “These where I can present my re- devices are widely used in search, without worrying homes, cars, commercial about the costs of travel and buildings, manufacturing lodging.” systems and in power plants, Wu is being recognized and they currently take a lot

She was part of the Super Eagle III team, which competed in the Society of Automotive Engineers Supermileage Competition. She is also a student fellow of the University’s Center for Energy and Sustainability, which is funded by a National Science Foundation grant. Wu will be one of 11 Cal State L.A. students selected to represent the University at the 29th Annual California State University (CSU) Student Research Competition at Cal State San Bernardino in May.

the intellectual atmosphere (Do students enjoy their courses or are they stressedout? What is the advising system for freshmen? Are there opportunities for independent study/study abroad?). They should note the social climate (Do students stay on campus or do they leave on weekends? What are the facilities for socializing? Is there an active Greek life?) They should observe the campus life (What are the living arrangements? Is there guaranteed housing for four years? What are the dining options?). One major concern for parents and children should be security on campus (Can outsiders gain access to the library, the fitness center or student union? Are there video cameras around the school periphery?). Of course, the most serious threat to students’ well-being may actually be within the confines of the institution. When my daughter and I visited colleges, the issue of campus rape didn’t come up during the information sessions. But it has since become part of the national conversation and some universities are addressing
the topic up front. I, personally, would want to know if officials have safeguards in place to prevent such crime from occurring. Do administrators disclose information about it or do they hide and blur the

facts? What consequences does the school impose on perpetrators? Some children know right away when they visit a campus that they don’t seem themselves in it. It could be that it isn’t the right intellectual or academic fit for them; or the environment doesn’t suit their lifestyle. But it’s a good thing to know before
Do you want your child to
focus on academics and their grades. They should still engage in other worthwhile activities like sports or arts. At my daughter’s school, rehearsals for the spring musical, which she was heavily involved in, were at full speed so students’ minds were occupied with something besides worrying about college acceptances.
