The Tournament of Roses Thursday named Erika Karen Winter as the 98th Rose Queen in an official ceremony at the Pasadena Convention Center.

Hundreds of family members, friends and wellwishers attended the event in their Sunday-best outfits and despite the lack of airconditioning in the hall, Royal watchers seemed to have a speldid time waiting for the announcement.

The proclamation concludes a month-long process that began with more than 900 Pasadena-area young women who participated in the Royal Court tryouts at Tournament House.

Former Keppel High School Basketball Coach Charged With Sexually Abusing Student A 56-year-old man was charged with sexually abusing a female high school student over seven months, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Joseph Alan Kikuchi (DOB 7/1/59) of Monterey Park has been

charged with 19 felonies and five misdemeanors in case GA097357: 13 counts of sexual penetration by foreign object, five counts of lewd act upon a child, five counts of child molestation and one count of oral copulation of a person

under 16. The defendant is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Department 5 of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Alhambra Branch. Prosecutors will ask bail be set at $1.47 million.

Deputy District Attor-

ney Rena Durrant, who is assigned to the case, said at the time of the alleged crime, Kikuchi was the girls’ varsity basketball coach at Mark Keppel High School in Alhambra. In July, details of an alleged inappropriate relationship between Ki-

kuchi and a female student began circulating through the school, according to the prosecutor. Last month, a staff member at the school relayed the information to law enforcement, which then began an investigation into the alleged crimes.

The charging document alleges that Kikuchi sexually

abused the female student between February and September of this year. If convicted as charged, the defendant faces a possible maximum sentence of 20 years in state prison and lifetime sex offender registration. The case is being investigated by the Alhambra Police Department.

A former English teacher at an elite private girls’ school pleaded guilty today to having sexual relationships with two female students, one of whom became pregnant, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Joseph Koetters, 48, pleaded to two counts each of oral copulation of a person under 18 and sexual penetration by a foreign object involving each victim in case BA433370. Koetters was sentenced to one year county jail, placed on five years formal probation and ordered to complete one year of sex offender counseling. He also was ordered to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life and told he cannot be alone with any female children under the age of 18

other than his own. Koetters, who is barred from teaching at any public or private school, was ordered to surrender on Nov. 13 to begin serving his sentence. Deputy District Attorney Mara McIlvain with the Sex Crimes Division prosecuted the case.

Koetters taught English at the Marlborough School in Hancock Park when he initiated a year-long sexual relationship with a 16-year-old female student in 2000. She became pregnant but later miscarried the baby. Between February and June 2004, he had a sexual relationship with another 16-year-old female student, who reported the incident to police earlier this year. The Los Angeles Police Department investigated the case.

A 37-year-old man pleaded guilty to sexually abusing female high school students in 2011 and 2014, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. At his court appearance, David Park pleaded guilty to two counts in case KA109090: oral copulation of a person under 16 and lewd act upon a child.

The defendant is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 3 in Department F of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Pomona Branch. Park is expected to be sentenced to three years in state prison and will have to register as a lifetime sex offender.

Deputy District Attorney Kelsey McKeeverUnger, who prosecuted the

case, said at the time of the crime, Park was a chemistry teacher at Los Altos High School in Hacienda Heights.

Authorities were alerted by a school official that Park may have been having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl toward the latter part of 2014, the prosecutor said. Park subsequently was charged on Feb. 25. As authorities continued to investigate the case, a former student came forward and revealed Park had sexually abused her in 2011. On April 16, the felony complaint was amended to include additional charges for the second victim.

The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

LASD Inmates ‘Contraband’ Gives New Meaning to Jail-House Rock The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department not only provides security and care for the incarcerated, we also offer inmates scores of services and programs including: high school academic courses, vocational training from wood-shop to welding, and life-skills education on parenting or anger management.

Each person can take their skills and a sense of accomplishment with them when they return back to their communities and family-life. One of our programs, which especially enhance participants' inner creativity, is The Los Angeles County inmate rock band, “Contraband.”

Established in 2006, as part of the MERIT Program (Maximizing Education Reaching Individual Transformation), at Pitchess Detention Center-South Facility, it's brought many talented inmates together to make great music. Over the years “Contraband” has performed for thousands of inmates as well as for California Attorney General Kamala Harris and her staff, Sheriff Jim McDonnell, and many high-ranking Sheriff’s Department personnel.

The inmate musicians bring sound engineering or music backgrounds to the band, with styles

ranging from Jazz to Classic Rock to Metal. In fact, the band’s goal is to study and blend a gamut of musical motifs by dissecting different songs and comparing “live” and “studio” versions. By watching live performances and lessons online, the players learn how to place certain notes within the songs to perfect them.

The performances provide inmates with a sense of the “freedom” that comes from music, and the joy of creating music in a wholesome group setting. One guitar player explained, “I now realize that I can enjoy making music in a sober environment and can appreciate it more.” Another inmate band member revealed that “being part of a group and being able to perform gives us the opportunity to forget about being in jail and enjoy a live concert with some of our favorite songs.”

Deputy Paul Palumbo, of the Sheriff ’s Department’s Inmate Services Bureau, Education Based Incarceration Unit (EBI), has willingly taken on the tuneful collateral duty of supervising and guiding inmate band members during their practices and performances. As a group, "Contraband" collectively decides which songs to

learn and compose their set list. Deputy Palumbo then acquires all the chord and lyric sheets for them to follow as they learn each song.

When requested, he also organizes performances at other custody facilities. “These inmates are

hidden rock stars that have just, unfortunately, not gotten the big break that some of the huge names in music have gotten,” Deputy Palumbo declared.

Just before a band member is released from our custody, we hold auditions to replace the player

of the specific instrument.

New band members are selected on the basis of their instrumental talent, skill at reading music, and ability to interact with other band members.

StormSlide Prepares for El Niño

by Jason Call El Niño is expected to be the strongest in decades. Concerned about erosion control and drainage, public agencies and homeowners are preparing with the U.S. Forest Service’s device, StormSlide.

In anticipation of heavy rain, the USFS’s erosion control fighter, StormSlide, is now available to the public.

Made of recycled material, StormSlide holds pathways, trails and roads in place.

Slope stability is always an issue in storm season and this year may bring a powerful test calling for the strength of StormSlide.

Arcadia native and hiking enthusiast, Jason Call, is the owner and inventor of the StormSlide. “With El Niño looming, I knew homeowners would be calling. Getting it in the hands of the general public will be necessary if the predictions come true,” said Call.

StormSlide, www. stormslide.com, provides a path for stormwater to leave the road or trail without taking the surface with it. It stops erosion by bolstering the pathway’s edge and providing a flume for water to escape, protecting the value of the landscaping.

Cam Lockwood, Director

A local resident shovels mud flow from his property during last year’s rains. Experts are predicting strong El Nino conditions for the winter.

of the US Forest Service’s special team on trails and road maintenance, Trails Unlimited, said, “They have been in place for years and are working marvelously.” Lockwood began installing the units in Alaska in 2006 and has since placed them in points across the country.

Pacific Crest Trail Association member, Chip T., said, “Finally! Someone thought of a solution to this problem!”

The environmentally friendly StormSlide eliminates the use of the metal drainage devices that deface our local mountains and public lands. They are also much

safer and easier to work with.

The old metal version weighs 40 lbs, whereas the lighter StormSlide weighs only 5 lbs making it easily accessible to the individual homeowner or landscaper.

StormSlide was recently installed on the Mount Wilson and Bailey Canyon Trails in Sierra Madre. These two famous trails have already seen the benefits of the device through recent storm events.

StormSlide will certainly be a real life saver for many of our hilly residential areas this storm season.

A Mother’s Patience My friend Mavis shared some of her memories with me that I think, in retrospect, could be called funny. Many things that kids do are kind of universal. They all drive their mothers crazy at times. My friend Mavis and her sister Verna were no exception.

They were very close in age, only 13 months’ difference.

Verna, being the older, was usually the clever one who would think up things to do then Mavis would go along

with her.

One Sunday, when their parents had company, Verna and Mavis became bored. They came up with what they thought was a colossal idea. They snitched a huge plug of their Dad's tobacco and a quart jar and went upstairs to Dad's and Mom's bedroom. They hid under the bed and chewed pieces of tobacco and then spit the juice into the jar, just like the hired farm hand.

By night they weren't feeling too well, Mom couldn't figure what was wrong with them until Dad happened to look under the bed for his shoe and saw the jar of tobacco juice. The mystery was solved but they were sick enough that, though Mom's patience had been sorely tested, she was saved the problem of thinking how to punish them.

Kids today are the same, their tools are just different.

According to industry experts, there are several physical problems that will come under scrutiny during inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with,

any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair.

That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable preinspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into

costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, call toll-free 1-888-300-4632 and enter 1003.

You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

ments for where you are going to stay before telling your spouse you are leaving, and leave any important documents, medication, clothing and personal items there. You will also want to take steps to ensure the safety of your children. Contact a local service such as Grace Center for advice on what to teach your children about their safety, and alert child care providers and schools about the abuser.

During this time you’ll also want to preserve any and all evidence, including photos of bodily injuries, physical damage to property, saved emails, voicemail and text messages, police reports and witness statements.

If you’re employed you can safely open new accounts and have mail redirected without your spouse’s knowledge through programs such as Safe at Home, which provides a free P.O. Box and maintains your confidentiality. When it’s time to tell your spouse you are leaving, bring someone with you so you can get out as soon as possible.

If you haven’t already, contact a family lawyer who will guide you through the process. You can also contact the Los Angeles Bar Association’s Domestic Violence Project for free legal assistance.

As our society becomes more condemning of domestic violence, perpetrators of these crimes are paying greater consequences. During my days as a police officer in the 80s, when I would get a call to a domestic violence scene, I was trained to ask the perpetrator to cool off at a friend’s house or spend the night in a hotel.

Flash forward 30 years later, and I can tell you from experience as a family law practitioner that the penalties for domestic violence these days amount to much greater than a onenight cooling off period, from loss of child custody rights to termination of your job.

The common thread between the domestic violence perpetrators and their victims involve power, control, alienation and fear. What’s staggering is many of the victims do not know how or when to get out. Trying to decipher what to do and where to go can be overwhelming. My advice is to create an exit plan.

The first step is to ensure your safety. Go to your Superior Court and ask for a Temporary Restraining Order against your spouse.

If you rely on your spouse for income, you can request for an expedited court order for spousal and child support, as well as attorney fees.

Baby Maurice

Notes of a Pallbearer at Bob Bartlett’s Funeral Dressed in a dark blue suit, white shirt, and black tie with an American flag on my lapel, I arrived in Monrovia at 9:30 a.m. It was a bright sunny day; the temperature dropped a few degrees from that searing heat that had plagued us. 10 a.m. the hearse pulled up and two men took the coffin into the church surrounded by colorful flower arrangements, some tall and some small. Some residents hand-delivered flowers which I found a spot for.

Wondering why the pallbearer(s) didn't bring the coffin in, I looked for a program. There it was: Pallbearer … Ralph Walker.

The church filled quickly as people looked for friends to sit next to. Unable to sit down, I went back to the lobby area to help alert people to sign in and get a program. A few people asked, “Do you work for the mortuary?”

Yvette and Sandra Alarcon wrote this down and passed it to me: “Lived in

Monrovia from 1992-2005.

Bob was a great man and Mayor. Very friendly to all people. Saw Bob one day at a grocery store and was very friendly to speak to us. Always smiling, warm and friendly.

Soft but firm handshake. Bob will be truly missed by all.”

The music filled the church, “Grazing in the grass”

by Hugh Masekela, a South African musician.

One of Bob’s favorite songs. What a flashback …

I introduced Bob to Hugh Masekela at an event I was hosting back in Los Angeles.

Unable to recall much of the service, my eyes kept looking all around the church at the faces telling the story Bob was larger than life.

The pastor made several attempts to stir the massive audience; the gathering was waiting to hear from Bob, I thought.

Others spoke but they were caught up in emotions - fighting to say the words in their hearts.

Supervisor Mike An-

tonovich did get a response when he said that the Gold line Maintenance Yard would be named after Bob and a plaque would be placed in the Gold Line station.

Time to put on the white gloves and escort the coffin out of the church. It felt like a very long walk as tearful eyes made contact with my eyes.

The great late poet Maya Angelou summed it all up about life: "I learned that people will forget what you said what you did, but will never forget how you made them feel.”

Bob had that IT factor he could stir your body and soul in to action, no matter what the odds were.

BY Emmy Hernandez Certified Financial Planner® Practitioner, Attorney at Law Hello Emmy, What’s going on with the stock market? I’m feeling a little nauseated from this roller coaster ride. When can I get off?

The Federal Reserve takes a host of factors into consideration when deciding to change the interest rate.

The stock market’s performance is but one. Overall, the U.S. economy has a sound foundation. Janet Yellen, the Federal Reserve Chair, has stated that she may raise the borrowing rate later this year if the economy stays on track.

By raising or lowering interest rates, the Fed is trying to balance between economic growth and price inflation. Their primary tool to do this is by adjusting the Federal Funds Rate. That’s the interest rate that banks use for short-term loans between each other.

In theory, if it’s less expensive for banks to borrow then they’ll have more money to lend to consumers like us. When we spend that borrowed money the economy will hopefully expand. Families will inject that money into the economy through home, car and other purchases. Businesses will buy new equipment and hire new employees. This is the growth we all hope

for. Yet, when interest rates are low, families that save make very little money. This is one reason the Feds are considering an interest rate increase.

However, it’s believed that if economic growth comes too quickly then the price of things will rise as well – thanks to the laws of supply and demand. With this inflation, your money will not go as far as it used to.

The Federal Funds Rate has been kept near zero since 2008 to help stimulate economic activity and encourage institutional lending. Some think the Fed could stall the economy if it scares borrowers by raising rates too quickly. These forecasters are concerned that the economy is not strong enough to justify raising rates. Any inflation could cause a slow-down because of weaker economic growth abroad.

Ms. Yellen is “cautiously optimistic” about the broader American economy - even accounting for China’s economic troubles, declining oil prices, and the up-anddown stock market. Keeping the Federal Funds Rate

near zero can’t continue forever. But, raising the Federal interest rate could cause continued market volatility. As we have seen in recent months, the market's mood swings have been fast and furious.

I’d like to address this last point. The stock market’s volatility is a concern to many people.

Last month I held a public workshop, entitled ‘Managing Your Portfolio with Confidence’, to address the dos and don’ts for investors during times like this.

The community interest was larger than expected.

Because of so many people’s concerns, I will hold a second session of this seminar. Please join me on Saturday Nov. 7th at the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce at 10 a.m., located at 388 W. Huntington Drive in Arcadia. To reserve your seat, please RSVP at (626) 943-8833. I look forward to seeing you there.

A Reminder That Markets Move Up and Down

By Jean Koehler

Ameriprise Financial Advisor

It has happened many times before, but when we experienced a serious downward move in stocks in late August, it caught many investors off guard since there hadn’t been such a shift for quite some time.

Beginning on Aug. 18 and ending on Aug. 25, 2015, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost nearly 1,900 points or more than 10 percent of its value — a significant drop in a condensed period of time. At the close on Aug. 25, 2015 the Dow Jones Index actually fell more than 14 percent from the year-todate high it reached in midMay. More surprising than the drop itself may be that it had been roughly three years since the U.S. stock market experienced a correction of at least 10 percent. Historically, such corrections tend to happen more frequently — on average once every two years since 1932.

-Markets move in unexpected ways.

Stock markets are notoriously unpredictable in the short term. The events of August 2015 are a reminder that the markets can move quickly with little or no warning. Nobody can say with certainty what will happen to stocks over the next week, month or even over the next year. For example, by early March of 2009, U.S. stock markets had lost more than 50 percent of their value over an 18-month period. The Dow Jones Industrial Average bottomed at 6,547 and fears were running high. At that point, many investors likely didn’t think they’d see the Dow Index around the 18,000 level that it reached this year in May of 2015.

-It’s not about the markets — it’s about you.

It is important to look beyond the headlines and instead keep the focus on what you are trying to accomplish with your investments over time. Short-term market fluctuations are a fact of life, but they should not drive investment strategy. It is important to assess your willingness to accept investment risk in conjunction with the goals you are trying to achieve. A market correction may be a good time to step back and re-assess what you are trying to accomplish with your portfolio. Here are some things to consider: --If you have years to let your money grow. If you are still several years from retirement, there may be less reason to be concerned with short-term market swings.

Make sure your portfolio is positioned in the most effective way to achieve your long-term goals consistent with the amount of fluctuation you are willing to accept over shorter periods.

If you don’t feel your portfolio is aligned with your goals given the recent bout of volatility, it may be time to work with a financial professional to reposition it.

--If you are investing regularly in the market (such as contributions to your workplace retirement plan or an IRA), the volatility could work in your favor through dollar-cost averaging. This is a method of investing that helps reduce the risks of market timing by investing a fixed amount at regular intervals.

When prices are low, your investment purchases more shares. When prices rise, you purchase fewer shares.

Over time, the average cost

of your shares will usually be lower than the average price of those shares. It does not assure a profit or protect against losses in a declining market. However, over longer periods of time it can be an effective means of accumulating shares. Investors should always consider their ability to continue investing through periods of low market prices.

--If retirement is drawing near. Those who are within a few years of retirement tend to be more sensitive to short-term market moves and may want consider making some adjustments to their portfolios.

This could include keeping more of your assets in less volatile investments that can help diversify stock market risk. Yet it’s still important to balance the need for growth opportunity as well as less volatile assets with the likelihood that your retirement could last for two-to-three decades or longer. Your next move really depends on what stage of life you are in and how close you are to retirement. Now would be a good time to talk with financial professional about your portfolio.

-The outlook? More unpredictability.

If there is one thing we can count on in the days ahead, it is more speculation about where the stock market may be headed. Various experts will voice different opinions about whether a further correction is in the cards or a major rally is on the horizon. Don’t be overly concerned with what you may read about in the papers or hear from TV pundits. Your own financial goals and the time you have to invest should guide your investment decisions.

Cory Dale Privett, 55, of Sierra Madre Passed Away Oct. 14, 2015 Cory Dale Privett, 55, of Sierra Madre, CA passed away October 14, 2015.

Cory was born in Corpus Christi, TX on February 21, 1960 to Bobbie Doyle and Lotus Charlene Privett.

Being the middle son of a career Navy father, Cory lived in Memphis, Washington, San Diego and Japan before the family settled in

Lemoore, CA in 1967, where he grew up. He relocated to South Pasadena in 1975 and later moved to Pasadena, where he graduated from Pasadena High School in 1978. He began his college education at California State University Northridge, and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology from University

of Phoenix. He married Roxana Maria Dolores Moran of Guayaquil, Ecuador in 1984.

Cory made a career as a Computer Programmer at MSC Software Corporation, where he worked for 31 years. There he met his wife and built life-long friendships. Throughout his lifetime, Cory collected Matchbox Cars, postage stamps,

and baseball cards. Cory was a loyal Dodger fan and a season ticket holder for 35 years. He instilled the love of baseball to his children.

Cory enjoyed watching NASCAR races and always cheered for the underdog.

He was an avid bowler and participated in several leagues over the years. He volunteered for the Sierra Madre Girls Softball Association for 7 years, where he coached his daughter’s team, as well as occupied

seats on the Board including Web Master, Diamond Diner Operations, Publicity, and Player Agent. During his years of participation he arrived early to prepare the field and was the last to leave to make sure everything was picked up and closed properly. Later in life, Cory began buying storage units at auctions, which he called “treasure hunting”.

He did not do it for the money, but for the thrill of what he might find.

Cory was preceded in death by his son, Jonathan Parent, in 2009. He is survived by his wife Roxana; children Erika Privett, Dayne Privett, and Paulette Parent; brother Steven Privett of Pasadena, CA; sister Lynda Wiggins (husband Randy) of Simi Valley, CA; nephews Michael Zdralek (wife Ashley), Blake Wiggins; and niece Jessica Privett.

Funeral services were at Cabot & Sons in Pasadena on Sunday, October 25.

A Tribute to Vernon L. Faulkner

by Marjorie Strong-Faulkner A long-time Pasadena and Monrovia resident, Vernon L. Faulkner became ill in his home in April. As we remember him, let’s not forget the brilliant and inquisitive mind that was always searching for more knowledge. He had a remarkable appreciation of what it means to be human and even more so after suffering death-threatening wounds on the battlefield in the Korean War. He knew that life could encompass

great joy and sorrow, many pleasures and much pain.

He was grateful for the good things in life; he bore the difficult and painful with courage and fortitude- without complaints.

Even at those moments at home, two weeks before entering the hospital when his suffering and pain were so great, he tried to push through it and remembered somehow to give me the strength and courage to carry

on. And, while he would have preferred to be the strong one that made it possible for me to care for him those two weeks before he was forced to be taken to the hospital where the nursing staff and doctors could take care of him.

If he could speak to us today, he would ask us to be glad that he was permitted to die in peace and with dignity. He would want you to know that his assessment of his life was that it was a good one, and he would tell you that your love and friendship helped make this so. He would thank you, as I do, for your love and support during the happy and sad days which were part of our life together.

He would remind us all that life is indeed fleeting, that we should savor every moment of it and that the kindness we intend to do had best be done today because we may not be able to do it tomorrow.

Gold Line Extension to Azusa

Express Bus to Glendale, Burbank, Bob Hope Airport Begins March 5, 2016

The Arcadia Gold Line station in progress.

MTA has announced that March 5, 2016, will be the official opening date for the Gold Line Foothill Extension to Azusa. “This new rail service is a milestone for regional transportation in Los Angeles County,” said Michael Antonovich.

“I applaud MTA CEO Phil Washington for expediting the opening of this vital extension and Gold Line CEO Habib Balian for a job well done building the line on time and on budget. The Gold Line will be the backbone of our transit system in the San Gabriel Valley for many years to come, linking the rest of the county to the many businesses, cultural venues, and downtown areas of the Gold Line corridor cities.”

“With MTA Chair Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, Los Angeles City Mayor Eric Garcetti and MTA Director Councilman John Fasana, we are working toward a truly regional transportation system that serves all parts of the County,” Antonovich added. “We will work together as a region to build on the success of the Gold Line to go beyond Azusa and on to Claremont -- and ultimately Ontario Airport in San Bernardino

Price Controls Will Deprive Epilepsy Patients of Hope

by Kristine Binette

The FDA recently granted approval to a first-of-itskind medication -- an epilepsy drug created with a 3D printer.

3D printing could help lower drug costs. But even with better technology, many patients feel medicines are still too costly. Politicians are floating a potential solution: price controls on certain expensive drugs.

Though well inten-

tioned, these proposals are disasters in the making for patients with epilepsy and other serious diseases.

There's no surer way to eliminate the next generation of breakthrough treatments than to deprive research companies of the possibility of making a return on their investment.

cans suffer from epilepsy.

Roughly 200,000 people will receive an epilepsy diagnosis this year. And as many as 50,000 Americans will die due to epilepsy related seizures this year.

Despite the prevalence of epilepsy, there have been few recent advances in epilepsy treatment. Many new drugs are just repurposed versions of older treatments, and most have significant

GREEN

side effects. Some patients must take as many as a halfdozen medications and still can't do the kinds of things most people take for granted -- hold their children, travel alone, or drive a car.

New treatments are desperately needed.

Epilepsy patients deserve affordable medications.

And there's no question that many drugs can be expensive. But those calling for price controls fundamentally misunderstand the drug development and pricing processes.

Simply put, medicines are expensive because research and development is expensive. According to a Tufts University study, creation and approval of a new drug takes on average more than ten years and costs roughly $2.6 billion.

Drug companies must develop hundreds or thousands of compounds in the lab until they find one promising enough to enter human testing. Barely one in ten of those drugs in human testing

goes on to win FDA approval.

So new drug prices are based on the need to recover the costs of not only the drugs that make it to market, but the many more that don't.

With price caps, pharmaceutical companies will have a worse chance of earning back their development costs. Thus, they'll be reluctant to properly fund future R&D. Our nation is the most important pharmaceutical developer in the world, partly because price controls in other countries have impeded their drug development efforts. Since the 1970s, America's share of total new medicines developed has virtually doubled, from 31 percent of global drugs to 57 percent.

Proposals to implement price controls here in the United States could reverse our progress.

Many in Washington want the government to negotiate drug prices for Medicare Part D -- the federal insurance program which provides drug

coverage to 37 million seniors and people with disabilities.

Given the government's ability to deny coverage to a drug unless pharmaceutical firms offer a certain price, these negotiations would essentially function as price controls.

Price controls will prevent the development of breakthrough treatments for epilepsy and other diseases.

To deliver better treatments to patients with epilepsy and other diseases, politicians could speed up the approval process for new medicines. And to deliver cheaper treatments, they can prohibit insurers from forcing people to pay astronomical out-of-pocket fees.

However, price controls won't result in better or cheaper treatments. They'll simply ensure that new treatments never materialize.

Kristine Binette serves as Maine Field Service Coordinator for Epilepsy New England, which seeks to find a cure for, overcome the challenges of, and stop deaths related to epilepsy.

A 28-year-old gang member was convicted Oct. 23, 2015, of fatally shooting a man in his Alhambra garage in 2013, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. The jury deliberated for a day before finding Xia Lin of San Gabriel guilty of first-degree murder in case GA091066. Jurors also found true gun and gang allegations. The defendant is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 1 in Department T of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Alhambra Branch. Lin faces 50 years to life in state prison.

Deputy District Attorney David Ayvazian of the Hardcore Gang Division said in the evening of Sept. 22, 2013, Lin dressed himself in a hoodie sweatshirt and ski mask and walked up to the Alhambra home of Qui Jin Fang, a Chinese restaurant owner.

While Fang was sitting in his car located in the garage, Lin shot the victim several times with a .22 caliber gun with a silencer, the prosecutor said.

Fang, 43, died at the scene.

One of Fang’s neighbors witnessed Lin leaving the victim’s home and called police, who later discovered the

body, the prosecutor added.

When police arrived at the home and began investigating the homicide, another witness told authorities that prior to the shooting he saw a man dropped off in the area in a white Mercedes, the prosecutor said. Following the shooting, Lin removed the ski mask and walked to a movie theatre where he discarded a fanny pack that held the murder weapon and ammunition, the prosecutor said. A short time later, a woman exiting the movie theatre found the fanny pack and called police. As police responded to the area, the same woman witnessed Lin looking for the fanny pack, the prosecutor said.

When authorities arrived at the scene, the woman pointed out Lin, who was about to leave the area in a white Mercedes. When law enforcement approached the car, they discovered Lin in the vehicle with a hoodie sweatshirt and ski mask next to him, the prosecutor said. Lin was subsequently arrested.

According to court testimony, DNA evidence found on the trigger of the gun and inside the ski mask as well as eyewitness testimony, linked Lin to the killing. The case was investigated by the Alhambra Police Department.

Campfire Girls Stay Connected This group of women was the “Pretty Bluebirds” at Holly Avenue School starting in the 1940s. They became Odakota Campfire Girls on May 28th, 1950, at a Grand Council Fire at Holly Avenue’s Auditorium. The group stayed together while at First Avenue Junior High and at Arcadia High School, many of them becoming Horizon Club members. Their activities included Campfire projects, serving at Arcadia Woman’s Club events, attending the Los Angeles County Fair, marching in the Temple City Camelia Festival, and going to Camp Wasewagon every year, to name a few.

Over the years they have stayed in touch, thanks to Mary Jane Salcido of Santa Barbara, and have had several reunions. This year many of the women are celebrating their 75th birthdays and wanted to get together where they started. While in Arcadia they visited their childhood homes and schools along

The California Retired Teachers’ Association (CalRTA) has good reason to celebrate Retired Teachers’ Week Nov. 1st—7th.

This organization has been going strong since its beginnings and is now celebrating its 86th Anniversary! CalRTA was founded in 1929 (known as CRTA then) through the efforts of Laura Settle, a retired Pasadena educator, with five or six people. Now the state organization numbers over 45,000 members!

Although retired from teaching, members of CalRTA stay vital and active as volunteers. This past year CalRTA members contributed more than 2.1 million hours of volunteer service to schools and to the community in general with only 11 percent of the membership reporting their hours. That number translates to $55 million! Besides that, mem-

Istanbul - A Culinary Experience story and photos By jennifer schlueter Istanbul – the city on two continents, where religious tradition and ancient history clash with a modern way of life like nowhere else; where lots of Turkish men (in a 65:35 ratio to women, as I observed), women and girls with burkas, but also hand-holding Muslim couples dressed like Westerners mingle with tourists from literally every country in the world; where you can see over 3,000 mosques, and listen to their daily prayer calls; where you will eat amazing food, and meet very friendly but also very feisty individuals.

Two weeks ago, I traveled to this beautiful city and explored the culture and the food. Here are a few of my impressions. For more, please visit travelorette.wordpress.com

Carmilla: The Table Reading That Wanted to Be a Play

by Nathaniel Cayanan Don’t let the headline fool you. Carmilla is not horrible. But, it’s not great either. First, let’s get the plot out of the way.

Set in World War II Europe, Carmilla, adapted from the 1872 Gothic novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, follows the life of young Laura (played by Erin Elizabeth Reed), who lives a fairly mundane life.

One day, a woman happens upon her home after a carriage accident and

begs Laura’s father (Doug Haverty) to host her injured daughter, Carmilla, for a month. Both the same age, Carmilla and Laura develop a friendship that soon develops into a supernatural romance, while Carmilla’s deep, dark secret slowly comes to surface.

Now, the plot itself is quite compelling on paper; as it should be, since it’s from a story that has been used as inspiration

to many modern works all over the world. But, here’s the thing about this production: it’s so painfully minimalist that the play overall fails to truly pique our interests. The stage space in Lyric-Hyperion Theatre and Cafe is not grand, nor flashy; it literally is just a modest sized room draped with black curtains. The only set piece used in the production is a radio which is hardly used at all. And sure, the actors wear era appropriate costumes, yet these efforts do little to bolster up this fairly underwhelming production.

But, again, this is not a horrible show. The actors are definitely serious, and most are quite talented. And it’s quite admirable to think that, despite the full weight of the show being placed on their shoulders, the cast still enthusiastically delivers wholehearted performances. In fact, in some parts, we see how well cast Carmilla (Lauren Kathryn) and Laura are.

Kathryn brings to the table a naturally seductive presence which contrasts Reed’s sincere innocence.

Also interesting is Gary Shaw’s General Spieldorf, who dominates the stage with Shaw’s strong presence.

Unfortunately, however, his performance also highlights the unevenness of the acting when all is put together. Because we are at only arm’s distance away from the actors, we can pinpoint the different schools of acting, which at times compete for attention. For some in the cast, their performances are a little more measured, whereas with Shaw’s, though interesting, stands out as theatrical, eclipsing all others on the stage with him, again, not because they’re bad, but because their styles are so different.

In all, Carmilla is a play that needs help. Perhaps if this production were performed in a radio broadcast, and we were to visualize everything as we

listened, the experience would’ve been much more pleasant. But, this time around, Carmilla is but a shadow of what it wants to be.

Carmilla will play until Nov. 8, 2015, at LyricHyperion Theatre & Cafe, 2106 Hyperion Ave., Los Angeles CA 90027. Show days and times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be bought at www. brownpapertickets.com/ event/2282927.

Doo Dah Parade Dubs Playwright/ Director, Musician, ‘Million Dollar Baby’ as Grand Marshal Pasadena Doo Dah Parade has selected Renaissance woman Juli Crockett to lead this year's 38th Occasional Parade. Consider the fact she's a singer, songwriter, playwright, theater director, undefeated professional boxer and amateur champion, and leader of an alt-country/ Americana genre-defying band and you'll get the picture. Don't forget to add Doctor of Philosophy in Media and Communications to her resume. Doo Dah organizers say, "Juli is a fierce and brilliant artist who embodies the spirit of our event!"

Before turning pro, Juli was a Blue and Gold National boxing champion. Writer Jerry Boyd (aka F.X. Toole) became convinced she was the real-life incarnation of Maggie Fitzgerald, the character he turned into a Million Dollar Baby, which in turn swept four Academy Awards under the film direction of Clint Eastwood.

As a playwright/director, Crockett is best known for her adaptations of classic works of literature and philosophy. Her work has been

presented on multiple stages across the country, including the REDCAT in Los Angeles.

She has also directed her own production at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, one of the most prestigious art festi-

Mr. Woltz is an accomplished Orange County organist, composer, and a

Her music career centers on writing songs and performing with The Evangenitals, who have produced four albums and frequently tour the U.S. This month, Juli performed in Pasadena with folk music legend Jim Kwe-

skin, who has shared stages with Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and the Doors, among other iconic figures. True to her eclectic spirit, Juli will be directing and performing in Some Cars at the MorYork space in the NELA arts district this coming Thursday through Sunday.

Juli Crockett joins our recently crowned Queen Veronika MeowMeowz at the 38th Pasadena Doo Dah Parade on Sunday, Nov. 22nd, stepping off at 11 a.m. in East Pasadena.

Known as the twisted sister of the conventional Rose Parade, the Occasional Pasadena Doo Dah Parade began as a grassroots event in 1978 to gain national attention for its eccentric and, often, irreverent satire. The parade which has spawned numerous off-beat replicants across the country and was named by Readers Digest as "America's Best Parade," and was recently featured in the book 50 Places You Must Visit Before You Die.

Duarte’s Starbucks Will Move to New Location With Additional Food Spaces Continued from page 1

foot Starbucks with a drivethrough, another food-service space totaling 1,800 square feet and 800 square feet for a retail business other than food service, according to a memo to the council from City Attorney Jeffrey Melching.

The existing Starbucks in Duarte at 1155 Huntington Drive will move to the new location at the northwest corner of Huntington and Buena Vista Street when the construction project is completed next year, said Craig Hensley, the city’s community development director.

He estimated construction would finish sometime in late spring or early summer.

It is not clear at this point whether the finished

construction project will consist of one or two commercial spaces in addition to the new Starbucks, Hensley said.

Duarte’s share of the land sale is $60,000, Melching reported.

The remainder of the proceeds will go to the Duarte Unified School District, Los Angeles County and a number of agencies throughout the state that receive a share of property tax revenue, Hensley said in an interview.

“There will be some money that comes back to the city as tax, but more importantly what will happen is that that really somewhat blighted site will no longer be blighted,” Melching told the council. “It will have new

development on it; it will be a positive use, a positive tax generator.”

The property buyer is GENOA JRTH LLC, a company tied to real estate developer Tristan Harris and Newport Beach-based Arbor Capital Group Inc. “It’s been empty for a number of years, and it’s one of the major intersections of the city,” Harris said on Wednesday. “We’re very excited about this project.”

Harris noted that Starbucks representatives had been eyeing the corner location for some time, and in addition to drive-through access, the future coffee shop will be equipped with Starbucks’ popular Clover brewing machines.

“It’s a good spot for a national tenant,” Mayor Tzeitel Paras-Caracci said prior to the council’s approval of the deal. “[A property] of that size and that location is actually very valuable,” Hensley replied. “It’s one of the reasons Starbucks was there to begin with. Their business plan has just changed a little bit because drive-throughs are so much more successful for Starbucks these days.”

No tenants for the other two commercial spaces are as of yet lined up, “but we’ve had a fair amount of interest,” Harris said.

The agreement lists Lawyers Title Insurance Co. in Irvine as the escrow holder.

Duarte School Builds International Awareness Through Mandarin Instruction Students at Maxwell Elementary School in the Duarte Unified School District (DUSD) are learning Mandarin and communicating with students in China as part of their instructional program.

The 368 students at Maxwell, ranging from Kindergarten to 6th Grade, receive instruction in Mandarin twice a week, for a total of 75 minutes, as part of the school’s International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, and will be prepared to continue their learning as they progress to middle school and high school, according to Dr. Kelly Buckley, principal at Maxwell.

“As part of being an IB school, we needed to add a language and we felt Mandarin is very important from an international perspective,” said Dr. Buckley.

“Many of our students have some knowledge of Spanish, so by choosing Mandarin, we were able to develop internationally motivated students.”

The instruction is delivered by teacher Wendy Yang, who has approximately 14 years of experience teaching Mandarin, according

to Dr. Buckley. She teaches full-time at Maxwell, which is an improvement for the program, which began with a teacher shared by the elementary school and the district’s middle school.

Students are taught not only the oral components of the language, but are also learning the complex characters of Mandarin. But more importantly, they are learning “about the cultural aspects of the language, not only what’s spoken, but the significance of the language.”

Duarte USD has eight schools, ranging from elementary through high school, and is hoping to expand its educational offerings to reflect the international perspective that is important to prepare students for college and career options. Students have the opportunity to continue their Mandarin learning at both Northview Intermediate and Duarte High School.

At Maxwell, Dr. Buckley said she sees many positives to the program. “I think the program is evolving each year, from just a class to a perspective of cultural sensitivity and a chance to

celebrate our individual differences,” she said. “Students are listening to each other introduce themselves in Mandarin, and be able to say basic things like their favorite color. Some of our students are limited in English, and others have some skills in Spanish, but they are all working on a level playing field in Mandarin.

“They are hearing and appreciating the differences in language and becoming more culturally sensitive and to have respect for one another. This is a unique and powerful learning opportunity.”

Maxwell’s students aren’t the only ones learning from the Mandarin instruction. Their regular classroom teachers are also participating when they visit Ms. Yang’s classroom, and are going through the learning as well, giving the students a chance to watch adults engaged in the learning process.

Additionally, Ms. Yang is an active participant in all aspects of teaching at Maxwell, collaborating with the grade-level teachers and learning what the students are studying at each

level. This articulation and cross-curricular participation has allowed the twiceweekly Mandarin lessons to become integrated with all aspects of the instruction.

“She is extremely passionate about the instruction and practices modeling and sharing, and is able to differentiate the lessons not only for grade level but language proficiency of each student,” said the principal.

Dr. Buckley had experience with a dual-language immersion program in Mandarin at her previous district in Pasadena, and felt that helps her direct the instructional program.

Students in Ms. Yang’s classes regularly produce

video of them learning lessons, which are transmitted to a school in China, where the students reciprocate, broadening the basis of learning for students in both countries.

Dr. Buckley related one particularly positive moment about the Mandarin program.

“We had a young girl in kindergarten, who was limited in Spanish, and limited in English, and was just very shy,” she said. “By the end of the year, she was able to say her name and `my favorite color is blue,’ not only in Mandarin, but also in English and in Spanish.

You could see how this was helping her and the other

students build confidence.”

Building confidence through Mandarin is just part of the learning experience at Duarte USD.

The aging infrastructure plays a role in the leaks as several water mains are from the 1930s. City staff identified the 20 worst water mains in the city’s system in need of repairs and replacement. The city agreed to a two-phase pro-

cess.

The first phase will include repair of three water mains and is estimated to cost $637,700 and phase two includes five mains at an estimated cost of $786, 450 - totaling $1.4 million.

Taiwan is Fast Emerging as a Key Player in the Emerging "Internet-of-Vehicles" Sector

PizzaRev

by J. Shadé Quintanilla It is no secret that New York has the reputation for the best pizza, and there is a rumor going around that pizza isn’t the greatest in SoCal. But whoever said that we have the worst pizza has not tried PizzaRev. A fastcasual restaurant that allows customers to craft their own pizza, PizzaRev has started, as the company calls it, “a PizzaRev-olution.”

Opening the first PizzaRev in Northridge, Irv Zuckerman and Rodney Eckerman and their sons started the franchise in 2012. Eckerman’s son, Nicolas, who had worked in the food industry for years, pitched the innovative idea of a more customized, interactive experience and PizzaRev was born.

In just three short years, the restaurant has expanded and now has locations in Pasadena, Burbank, all over Southern California and in various states.

Voted as “Best Pizza” this year by the LA Daily News, PizzaRev is a craft your own pizza restaurant that stands out from its competitors. When customers go into a PizzaRev, they are

greeted by three or more employees ready to help them make their pizza. By using different spoons and constantly using new gloves, the restaurant is dedicated to catering towards glutenfree, vegan, and vegetarian customers. According to the Pasadena General Manager, Brandon Dunlop, PizzaRev is unique and even better than similar pizza franchises, like Blaze Pizza and Pieology, because it has quality ingredients and more options. Offering gluten-free dough and vegan options, like vegan cheese and vegan sausage, the restaurant aims to attract everyone.

“Quality control is very important to us,” said Dunlop. “We’re fast; we’re better.”

The first step in the PizzaRev experience is to choose your own dough. Offering freshly made dough, the restaurant's pizza dough creates a Roman-style, thin crust that, to many, is the best part of the pizza. Customers also have their own pick from red, white, and BBQ sauces or just plain olive oil. A popular move of

many is to mix the red and white sauce or even put a sauce on one half and a different on the other. Customers then can pick from different cheeses, like mozzarella, ricotta, and vegan cheese, and choose from a plethora of meats and toppings. The DIY pizza is then placed in the oven and out within minutes.

PizzaRev also gives customers to the option to choose from eight signature pizzas and allows them to create their own salads. A personal favorite of Pasadena General Manager is the Mediterranean pizza.

Other than serving the pizza cravings of customers, the restaurant is also dedicated to giving back to the local community through their fundraising program.

Non-profit organization and schools can have their fundraisers at PizzaRev, receiving 20 percent of proceeds.In the past, PizzaRev has hosted fundraisers for Pasadena City College, La Salle High School and many other organizations in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley. Since 2012, the company has donated more than $200,000 to charities and schools.

PizzaRev Pasadena is located at 3455 E. Foothill Blvd. For more information, visit www.pizzarev.com.

Taiwan’s dynamic auto parts sector is poised for new successes as global demand rises for smart-enabled auto products, services and solutions that comprise the "Internet of Vehicles".

Brands, such as Advantech, Eagle Eyes, Eclatorq, E-lead, Federal Corporation, Holux, Mitac, Orange Electronic and TYC Brother Industrial, are at the forefront of this fast-growing sector and will showcase their most cutting-edge products to the U.S. market from Nov. 3 to Nov. 5 at AAPEX in Las Vegas.

Taiwan has a strong foothold in the global auto parts market. Taiwanese manufacturers supply 80 percent to 90 percent of global aftermarket supplies of lamps, bumpers, rubber and plastic parts. Taiwan also supplies 90 percent of the world’s collision parts, auto metal plates and back mirrors. Furthermore, Taiwan is number one globally in mold manufacturing technology, as well as in mold quantity and quality.

One of Taiwan’s greatest advantages as a maker of auto parts is its comprehensive supply chain, characterized by extensive center-satellite systems and seamless integration between central and satellite factories. This system, bolstered by a wide network of clusters strategically placed island wide, ensures production flexibility, a diversified product range and low production costs.

There are currently approximately 2,800 auto parts and accessories makers in

Taiwan, with approximately 300 of them providing original equipment.

Meanwhile, Taiwan’s ICT acumen is increasingly playing a larger role in interactive automobile systems, thus boosting cooperation between traditional auto parts makers and technology giants, who see an opportunity for diversifying their business in the emerging smart vehicles sector.

Taiwan’s exceptional high-tech R&D capabilities are being demonstrated globally with the introduction of many telematics devices, from traditional GPS systems to TFT displays, front collision warning systems, CMOS cameras, engine control units (ECU), personal navigation devices (PNDs) and head-up displays (HUDs).

By 2016, it is expected about 90 percent of all new cars will be equipped with wireless-communication equipment or V2V (vehicle to vehicle) communication devices. Taiwan is already moving in this direction, buoyed by robust government support and collaboration between manufacturers and research institutes.

According to statistics from the Taiwan Transportation Vehicle Manufacturers Association, the total output of Taiwan’s auto components industry in 2014 amounted to $6.6 billion, up about 5 percent from the previous year. The United States was the top destination of Taiwanese auto parts with a share of 40.79 percent, followed by

Pasadena Sierra Madre Monrovia

Japan, China, UK and Australia.

Prospects for 2015 are bright. The North American market will likely continue growing, while low fuel prices will stimulate new car purchases around the world and allow drivers to take their vehicles longer distances, thereby boosting demand for aftermarket parts.

Taiwan Excellence award-winning companies have contributed significantly to Taiwan becoming a global leader in the emerging smart vehicle segment.

Taiwan Excellence is an initiative of Taiwan’s Ministry of Economy Affairs through the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT), and carried out by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA).

Products deemed exceptional in the areas of R&D, design, quality, marketing and “made in Taiwan” receive the Taiwan Excellence award and are authorized by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs to display the Taiwan Excellence mark.

The five indicators are of equal importance, and each is judged on its innovation value, the most important standard of all.

A number of top Taiwanese auto parts makers will showcase their worldclass product lines from November at the AAPEX 2015 show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Participating companies include Advantech, Eagle Eyes, Eclatorq, E-lead, Federal Tire, Holux, Mitac, Orange Electronic and TYC Brother.

A Guide to the El Monte 2015 Mayoral and City Council Elections

By J. Shadé Quintanilla City council elections are on Nov. 3 and those running for office are counting on your vote. Here is a guide to those who are running for mayor and the El Monte City Council.

Mayor: Mayor Andre Quintero Running for re-election, Quintero has served the city of El Monte as mayor since 2009 and has been re-elected twice.

So far as an elected official, he has aimed for more government transparency, helped eliminate city waste and was involved in creating an ad hoc committee on Budget, Audit and Cost Control. On his campaign website, Quintero also stresses that as mayor for the past six years, crime rates have gone down in El Monte, according to a document he cites is from the FBI. If he is re-elected, he plans on making sure the city council allocates and maintains funds for public safety and creates a development and budget plan that ensures necessary projects and services for El Monte. Quintero also wants to bring back more manufacturing jobs to the city, and he intends to fight to protect manufacturing space. A few federal and state officials, like Congresswoman Judy Chu and Sen. Dr. Ed Hernan-

dez, are supporters of Quintero.

Norma Macias Council Member Norma Macias has previously told the El Monte Examiner that she is running for mayor because Quintero has been a “bully,” and she is critical of many of his decisions as mayor, such as hiring a second city manager and taking over the planning commission process.

Elected to the city council in 2013, she is currently serving a four year term and if not elected, she will continue as a councilmember.

The past two years, she has worked towards the reopening of a fire station, hiring more police officers, and getting rid of the car allowance and cutting the travel budget for the city council. One of her greatest achievements as a council member was passing Measure F, which protected mobile home residents from rising rents at the Brookside Mobile Home Country Club.

If elected mayor, she plans on protecting water rights, creating jobs and retail opportunities and protecting property values by improving the streets in El Monte. One of her main goals is to push agenda that is achievable at a quicker pace.

City Council - Two Seats: Victoria “Vicky” Martinez Councilmember Victoria “Vicky” Martinez is running for re-election. Elected in 2011, her goals as a city council member have been working towards a sustainable budget, increasing economic development, and supporting council decisions and public safety. On her campaign website, she notes that her priority is “working to make El Monte a great place to live, work and raise a family.” While on city council, she has been the chairperson for various events, including the Back to School Resource Fair, which supplies children with free backpacks and other school supplies; INSPIRE, a leadership conference for middle school and high school students; El Monte Centennial Committee, a program that celebrated the city and held events throughout the year; and El Monte Coordinating Council, which creates a master calendar for the city.

If re-elected to city council she plans on continuing advocating for children and youth by supporting safe walkways to schools and the El Monte Promise Foundation to encourage students to go to college. One of her priorities

is to push for a more “Healthy El Monte” by creating policy ideas for establishing a more healthy, fit community, like bikes lanes and healthy school lunches. Martinez also wants to create more shopping opportunities for the city and plans on supporting efforts to improve Downtown El Monte.

Jerry Valasco Coming from the entertainment industry, Jerry Valasco started his career in politics when he was elected as El Monte’s City Treasurer in 2013. In his campaign for city council, he notes that as treasurer, he has saved the city thousands of dollars by noticing expenditures that El Monte did not need. If elected to city council, he aims to ensure that the budget is timely and balanced, to support more development so that the city earns more money through tax revenues and to make El Monte more business-friendly. He plans on advocating for more arts-related projects and wants to work towards opening a performing arts center and expanding arts programs - as well as sports - for children and youth. Valasco also wants to figure out why many auto dealers left El Monte and find solutions to attracting more businesses

to the city. He has the support of Mayor Quintero and other government officials, including Sen. Dr. Hernandez and Congresswoman Grace Napolitano.

Bart Patel Bart Patel, mayor pro tem of the El Monte City Council, has been serving the city since 2011. He is the owner of the America’s Best Value Inn in El Monte and is also on the Planning Commission. Calling himself the council’s “fiscal watchdog,” Patel claims that he helped city spending by “forcing financial discipline.”

On his campaign website, he notes that he saved taxpayers $100,000 and turned the city’s $12 million deficit around by putting $10 million in the bank. As a councilmember, along with Macias and Councilmember Juventino “J” Gomez, Patel says they brought $800 million in new business, over one thousand construction jobs and 800 permanent jobs. He also started the Fireworks ComRE by keeping illegal firemittee DU E increasCE of theRcity, works out D P policeDUovertime CE ing fines, paid R C $200,000 D and brought inIover E for the city.

If elected another term, Patel plans on continuing looking out for El Monte’s

finances, making sure that there is no over-spending. His priorities are to address the financial and reporting problems the city has, to lower utility taxes and to address the claim that the city owes Housing and Urban Development around $2.7 million. Patel has the support of Norma Macias and the El Monte Police Officer's Association.

Art Barrios A former city council member who lost his seat back in 2009, Art Barrios is running for city council again.

He is a retired small business owner who also currently serves on the El Monte Planning Commission. This is not his first running for city council since he lost in 2009.

In 2013, he ran against Mayor Quintero, slamming Quintero and the city council at the time for giving property to MTA. This election, he’s running with the aim of bringing more new businesses and jobs to the community. He believes that the city needs to move quicker when it comes to bringing new companies to the city, criticizing the fact that the Walmart project took five years to pass. If he is elected for city council, he plans on listening to residents and not only to special interest groups.

State Schools Approve California’s Plan to Ensure Equitable Access

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson today announced that the U.S. Department of Education has approved California’s plan to make sure all students have access to excellent educators.

The California 2015 State Plan to Ensure Equitable Access to Excellent Educators highlights initiatives being carried out by the California Department of Education (CDE) under the leader-

ship of Torlakson, the State Board of Education (SBE), and the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing to improve teacher quality, teaching quality, and instructional leadership.

A key part of the plan, Torlakson said, is California’s new funding system that provides additional resources to low-income students, English learners, foster youth, and districts that have high concentrations of those

students.

The plan details a variety of changes California is making to improve teacher preparation, including: Updating teaching performance assessment to ensure California teachers are prepared to teach to the most current academic standards; Strengthening accreditation standards for programs that prepare new teachers, as well as gathering relevant data to identify which programs are producing wellprepared classroom teachers; Revising performance expectations for beginning teachers to include new emphasis on cultural competency and working with special education students; Updating standards for induction of new teachers in California to better support new teachers in their classrooms.

As part of the plan, the CDE will convene stakeholders annually to review data and identify opportunities for improvement. Using this information, the CDE will prepare a report on the plan’s progress and present it to the SBE on an annual basis.

Arcadia High School’s 60th Year Reunion Reunites Classmates from 1955

A sixty- year reunion is a rarity. Rarely do so many members of a group willing travel hundreds of miles by car, train, or plane to come together for such a wonderful moment.

When members of the Class of 1955 graduated, Disneyland opened for the first time, the Montgomery Bus Boycott just began, and the Los Angeles Dodgers were still in Brooklyn.

The first Arcadia High School ASB President, Paul Dyer, said that one of the reasons that they have formed such strong bonds among classmates is that they were the senior class for 4 years.

They were the class that selected the Apache mascot, the cardinal and gold colors, and even created the school's Alma Mater.

A member of the committee, Max Bumgund, with six others planned to formulate a mascot that showed bravery, aggressiveness, and powerfulness. With over 20 different mascots proposed, including Spartans and Marines, they selected the Apaches. Mr. Bumgund also hinted that he believed the group selected the cardinal and gold colors because many of wanted to attend the University of Southern California, which also uses the cardinal and gold as their school color.

MONROVIA WEEKLY

ORDINANCE NO. 2015-09 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SUBSECTION 17.28.135 (ELECTRONIC MESSAGE BOARDS) OF CHAPTER 17.28 (SIGNS) OF TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW RECREATIONAL FACILITIES IN THE PUBLIC/QUASI PUBLIC ZONE (P/QP) TO INSTALL ELECTRONIC MESSAGE BOARDS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA does ordain as follows: SECTION 1. The City of Monrovia has initiated an application to amend Subsection 17.28.135 (Electronic Reader Boards), of Chapter 17.28 (Signs), of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Monrovia Municipal Code, to allow Recreational Facilities in the Public/Quasi Public Zone (P/QP) to install Electronic Message Boards.

SECTION 2. On September 9, 2015, the Planning Commission of the City of Monrovia conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the project, including Ordinance No. 2015-09. At the hearing, all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard. The Planning Commission received and considered the staff report and all the information, evidence, and testimony presented in connection with this project Ordinance No. 2015-09. Following the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PCR2015-05 recommending approval of Ordinance No. 2015-¬09.

SECTION 3. On October 6, 2015, the City Council of the City of Monrovia conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the project, including Ordinance No. 2015-09. At the hearing, all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard. The City Council received and considered the staff report and all the information, evidence, and testimony presented in connection with this project.

SECTION 4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, City Staff determined that Ordinance 2013-04 is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. City Staff found that there is no possible significant effect directly related to Ordinance 201509 ("project"), therefore no further action is required under CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR § 15061(b)(3)), and independently, the project is categorically exempt (class 1) pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR § 15301). The City Council has reviewed the project and based upon the whole record before it, in the exercise of its independent judgment and analysis, concurs that City staff has correctly concluded that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code and the effects derivative from that adoption may have a significant effect on the environment, because the provisions of this ordinance provide similar regulations as currently exist and will not in and of themselves cause any change in the environment, and independently, that the project meets the qualifications of a Class 1 categorical exemption.

SECTION 5. The custodian of records for all materials that constitute the record of proceeding upon which this decision is based is the City Clerk. Those documents are available for public review in the Office of the City Clerk located at 415 South Ivy Avenue, Monrovia, California 91016.

SECTION 6. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of the Ordinance have occurred.

SECTION 7. Paragraph 17.28.135 of the Monrovia Municipal Code, is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: (A) Religious Assembly, Non-profit Recreational Facilities located on properties zoned Public/Quasi-Public (P/QP) and Educational Institutions shall be allowed one Electronic Message Board located on an identification monument sign, subject to the approval of a minor Conditional Use Permit by the Development Review Committee.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000005148424.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

My Masterpieces 2015 – USC Pacific Asia Museum

by MAY S. RUIZ Ensconced in a nondescript corner on North Los Robles Avenue and Union Street in Pasadena is a foundation that holds some of the most valuable treasures in Asian artifacts. It is the USC Pacific Asia Museum, which used to house the Pasadena Art Museum and then became Pacific Asia Museum in 1971. In 2013, University of Southern California (USC) partnered with the institution to become a vital resource for education and cultural heritage.

Enter its handsome arched entrance, however, and you will be transported to another place and time.

The transformation is so unexpected – it is breathtaking. The charming courtyard garden with a koi pond, rock sculpture and natural plantings reflecting the changing seasons take center stage while a Chinese Qing dynasty-inspired mansion wraps around it. The Pasadena architectural firm of Marston Van Pelt and Maybury built it as a grand residence in 1924 to exact specifications from California transplant, Grace Nicholson, a pioneering art collector and entrepreneur from Philadelphia.

This historic home also became the center for the arts in Pasadena and was host to several cultural organizations. The first floor served as a gallery where Ms. Nicholson displayed and sold American Indian and Oriental art objects. On the second floor were more galleries, an exhibition auditorium, and Ms. Nicholson’s private quarters.

Today it is the foremost exhibitor of Asian art collections in Southern California. It is also the destination for Pasadena sixth graders’ My Masterpieces field trip, where specially-trained docents conduct tours and hold workshops.

Michael Fritzen, Head of Education and Public Program for USC Pacific Asia Museum, who took over this post five months ago, is ably assisted by Program Specialist, Becky Sun, in planning an interactive and hands-on two-hour visit.

He says, “Our My Masterpieces Program for the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD)/Pasadena Educational Foundation (PEF) is focused on the inquiry method. Students are asked questions about the pieces they

see; they aren’t just dragged through the museum and told massive amounts of facts. They stop, look and reflect about a particular artifact. Aligned with the state Common Core standards, this visit is aimed at enhancing students’ classroom discussions in their World History course. We ensure that what they see and experience adds depth to their understanding of the world, and of Asia, in particular.”

This tour is designed to lead sixth graders along the Silk Road. It moves through the collection, spotlights certain artifacts, and ultimately fashions a coherent historical fabric woven from threads that connect all the different countries in Asia – Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam – as students travel on the Silk Road.

According to Ms. Sun, the tour is divided into two parts. While one docent tours a group of students, another docent involves the students in a hands-on workshop.

She says, “Our workshops are taught by Asian experts in different fields including calligraphy, brush painting, origami.”

Mr. Fritzen adds, “We

provide authentic materials for students to employ during the workshop. If they’re working on calligraphy, for instance, they are using brushes, ink blocks, and rice paper made specifically for that art form. The work they

produce will match what they see in the museum – it will have the look, smell, and texture of the original art.

The art activity makes what they see in the gallery come to life and gives them a better understanding of what the artist went through to make the product. We try to create an experience that cannot be replicated in the classroom so that they leave with last-

ing memories of their visit.”

“My Masterpieces introduces Asian art and culture to kids from all over Pasadena who have never had occasion to visit the museum; it helps them understand why a particular tapestry or sculpture is unique and preservable,”continues Mr. Fritzen. “We hope that the visit inspires enthusiasm and passion in young people so that they later become visitors, members, donors and collectors of art. The field trip includes a family pass for six people. That students actually redeem those passes proves that it makes a deep impression to them.”

Through their programs and events, USC Pacific Asia Museum follows its mission and vision unique to the museum – to further intercultural understanding through the arts of Asia and the Pacific Islands.

According to Mr. Fritzen, the museum recently featured a Harvest Moon Festival, which showed how this is celebrated not only in China, but also in Japan, Korea and Vietnam. The institution endeavors to showcase countries which are not usually at the forefront because

they do not have enough representation.

With that in mind, USC Pacific Asia Museum will host in December a show featuring the art and culture of the Philippines. It may be the first time others will learn about this group of islands in the Pacific beyond the nightly news report of the country being in dire need of assistance, after being hit by devastating typhoons. Maybe it will help engender public interest in the countless natural wonders unique to the Philippines – beautiful coastlines, white sandy beaches, majestic mountains, lush countryside, exotic foods and warm people.

If USC Pacific Asia Museum were to enlighten even just one mind about the abundant treasures to be found across the vast Pacific Ocean, it would have served the purpose it has set out for itself.

(USC Pacific Asia Museum is located at 46 North Los Robles Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101. Open Wednesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. $10 general admission; $7 for students with valid ID and seniors; free for children 12 and under.)

La Primaria School’s Second Graders Place 16th in the World Education Games La Primaria Elementary School second graders in Nora Eskew’s class competed against students around the world as participants in the 2015 World Education Games sponsored by UNICEF, Microsoft, 3P Learning and Macquarie.

The young scholars made an impressive showing against their worldly competition, earning 16th place among the second grade competitors displaying their academic prowess in the areas of literacy, math and science.

The World Education Games are a technologybased competition in which students utilize a website and compete against different students in a timed competition. Each game lasts for 60 seconds and students can play as many games as they wish. The questions are appropriately leveled for different ages and abilities.

Pitting more than 5 million of the world’s best and brightest students across 236 countries, the World Education Games are open to students in kindergarten

through high school and are the largest global education event of its kind, played online over World Literacy Day, World Math Day and

Eskew’s second graders represented their classroom, La Primaria School, the Mountain View School District and the city of El Monte greatly as they competed against students from Australia, Germany, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Pakistan, Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Egypt and more.

The World Education Games are the “Olympics of Education” and while players charge through more than 1.5 billion questions, they also earn points redeemable as a donation to UNICEF’s global programs to encourage schooling and lift children from poverty.

“Playing the game is fun,” said second grader, Emanuel Aguilar, who was in 31st place among all the second grade competitors on the second day of the competition. “I like the science questions the best. It’s a fun way to learn.”

Eskew was very proud of her students for their excellent achievement.

“The World Education Games are really beneficial for the students,” said Eskew. “They enjoy competing against students from across the globe and they feel confident and gain selfesteem as they answer the questions. The questions are pretty challenging and I’m so proud of my students for their working so hard and exceling in all three areas.”

La Primaria Elementary Opens New Computer Lab

La Primaria Elementary School in El Monte is looking towards the future and shows no signs of slowing down. On Wednesday, Oct. 21, the elementary school opened a new computer lab thanks to Tony Lugo, principle of La Primaria Elementary, and his dedicated teachers and staff who made this all possible. This is just another leap forward for La Primaria.

La Primaria Elementary school was given

35 computers, which is enough to have a full classroom at one time with each student at their own station.

According to Isela Ponce De Leon, La Primaria administrator extraordinaire, “Our dream of replacing all computers in our computer lab and modifying our computer lab has come true…our district computer technicians have been working tirelessly to upgrade and install the new computer

Arcadia Gets Pounded by Burbank 8-31 story and photos by Trevor Stamp

Despite getting into the red-zone multiple times, Arcadia wasn't able to score more than eight points,

while Burbank rallied for 31 in their game on October 23, 2015 at Arcadia High School.

Burbank's Max Weisman (4) is unable to come up with this pass against Arcadia's Steven Isip Jr. (8), but it didn't matter as the Bulldogs took a 31-8 win over the Apaches on October 23, 2015 at Arcadia High School.

Burbank's Andrew Reyes (22) gains yards for the Bulldogs during their game against Arcadia on October 23, 2015 at Arcadia High School. The Bulldogs rallied past the Apaches with a 31-8 win.

Arcadia's Nico Hillier (10) tries to release a pass before getting sacked during the Apaches' game against Burbank on October 23, 2015 at Arcadia High School.

Arcadia's Nico Hillier (10) gets ahead of Burbank with a mad dash down the field during the Apaches game against Burbank on October 23, 2015 at Arcadia High School. Arcadia was unable to make anything happen against Burbank, falling 31-8.
