Alverno High School Forensic Students Get Personal View of the Los Angeles Courts On April 5, nine members of Alverno High School’s Forensic Science class had the opportunity to visit the Los Angeles County Criminal Courts Building for a tour to learn more about the justice system and the

role that forensics plays in the courtroom.

“It was a really wonderful experience to hear from Judge Tapio,” said junior Moondera Rabb. “He shared a lot with us about his own background including his

time as a public defender and his work with AmeriCorps. He was extremely encouraging to of all of us and very considerate to welcome us into his chambers during such a busy day - he oversees over 150 trials and

arraignments per day!”

After visiting the courtroom of Judge Tapio, the students had the unique opportunity to be the public observers on the current “Grim Sleeper” trial happening at the court house, which

is currently being presided over by the Honorable Kathleen Kennedy, Alverno High School Class of 1970. The trial remains closed to the public but the students were invited in to see the presentation on ballistics. While in the courtroom, the students met the lead detectives on the case as well as the lead defense attorney who is currently representing Lonnie Franklin, Jr. “Having the opportunity to see a closed trial was very exciting,” said senior Julia Goss. “Plus, the fact that it was an Alverno alumna who was presiding over it made it even more interesting. It was nice to see that subjects we have discussed in the classroom, including

DNA and ballistics, really have a deep impact on the way a trial is handled in the courtroom.”

“This type of experience is so important for our young women,” said Ares.

“It was a great day for them to see how things that we learn about in the classroom really do correlate to what is being discussed and used as evidence in the courtroom. They got a real insider’s view of the justice system and had the wonderful opportunity to see one of our own alumnae in action.

We hope that they take this experience and recognize the potential impact that they can have working as empowered women in the criminal justice system.”

Judge Rules in Favor of Removing Cross From Los Angeles County Seal

By Annette Semerdjian United States District Judge Christina Snyder ruled last Thursday, April 7, that the 2014 decision by Los Angeles County Supervisors to include a cross in the county seal was unconstitutional.

A coalition of religious leaders and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Southern California sued the Los Angeles County of Supervisors and County Chief Executive Officer William T. Fujioka after the reinstatement of a Latin cross to the seal back in 2014.

In last Thursday’s court order, Snyder stated that the cross “places the county’s power, prestige and purse behind a single religion, Christianity, without making any such benefit available on an equal basis to those with secular objectives or alternative sectarian views.”

This was not the first time the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors wanted a cross on the county seal, but opted or obliged to its removal. More than a decade ago, in 2004, when the seal looked quite different, a cross was depicted over the Hollywood Bowl. After the removal of this cross due to lawsuit threats from the ACLU, the board decided to bring it back in 2014, this time via an updated depiction of the San Gabriel Mission, which added a cross to the top of its structure back in 2009.

County supervisors

S SANDERS COMPANY

INSURANCE

Mike Antonovich and Don Knabe led the 2014 motion to restore the Latin cross to the county seal. Antonovich commented in last week’s ruling that removal of the cross, “ignores historical and architectural reality,” considering the 2009 construction of a cross atop San Gabriel Mission. “The court failed to see that the board corrected the inaccurate depiction of the San Gabriel Mission on the seal with an architecturally accurate version that featured a small cross,”Antonovich later stated. In other words, proponents of the 2014 motion argue that the inclusion of a cross above the San Gabriel Mission is necessary to ensure that the image is architecturally and historically accurate to the actual building.

Yet, in the ACLU’s 2004 letter to the board’s initial consideration to the restore the cross, they stated the cross “reflects an impermissible endorsement of Christianity” versus other religions by the govern-

ment. Just in last week’s court hearing, over a decade later, the plaintiffs accused the county board of favoring “the Christian religion over all other religions and divides county residents by religion and by adherence or non-adherence to religious beliefs.”

“The purpose of any seal is to reflect the culture and history of a region,” Knabe added in defense of the board’s decision. “Courts have ruled that municipal seals can include religious symbols when it depicts a historical fact or rendering.” Other municipal seals in fact have crosses included in their seals, such as the counties of San Benito and Ventura, as well as the City of San Luis Obispo.

Although the 2014 decision to add the cross to the county’s seal may not have been as blatant as when the former 2004 seal depicted it randomly floating above the Hollywood Bowl, controversy still ensued. The ACLU seemed determined, as they were over a decade ago, to keep religious symbolism, of the sort, out of official government seals and representations of its counties.

Supervisor Antonovich said he would support an appeal if the board chooses to move forward with further action, but the ACLU may very well contest the decision, as they have in the past.

MONROVIA April 7 At 2:40 p.m., an officer stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation in the 1600 block of South Myrtle. The officer discovered there was an outstanding warrant for the registered owner of the vehicle, who was in the passenger seat. The registered owner was also found to have drug paraphernalia in his possession. A search of the vehicle revealed a loaded shotgun in the driver’s area and two firearm replicas. Additional drugs were also found in the vehicle.

Both subjects were arrested without incident.

April 8

At 12:59 p.m., a vehicle burglary was reported in the 1200 block of North Canyon. The victim parked her vehicle next to the ranger station. The victim returned from a hike and found her rear window shattered and

her purse missing. The victim’s credit cards were used immediately at three local businesses. The investigation is continuing.

At 3:08 p.m., officers responded to the 300 block of South Myrtle regarding a suspicious male, adult subject loitering in the children’s section in the library.

The librarian pointed out the subject, who was now outside. As the officers exited the library, three young girls, ages 13, 12, and 11 years old, approached the officers and told them the same subject had been inside the girl’s bathroom minutes before. The girls reported that they walked into the bathroom, saw the subject standing inside and immediately left. They said the subject followed them outside and then walked away.

At 4:50 p.m., officers responded to the 100 block of East Lime regarding a male adult who entered a business and asked to use the women’s bathroom. An of-

ficer saw the subject walking away from the business and recognized him as the same subject from the library incident. The officer approached the subject and saw him toss a methamphetamine pipe into the fountain at the park. He was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia and taken into custody.

At 6:55 p.m., officers responded to a disturbance in the 1200 block of South California. They were told a male subject had been arguing with his grandparents and he had been drinking.

The subject had left the location, but the officers located him a short distance away. After speaking with him, it was determined he was too intoxicated to care for himself. He was arrested and held for a sobering period.

April 9

At 2:29 a.m., an officer was on patrol in the 600 block of West Palm when he saw a male subject riding

a bicycle without any type of lighting equipment on the bike. The subject rode into a driveway. The officer stopped to contact the subject. The subject saw the officer and removed a small baggie from his pocket and tried to discard it without being seen. The officer recovered the discarded item, which was found to contain methamphetamine.

The suspect was arrested and taken into custody.

At 12:57 p.m., a resident in the 700 block of West Colorado called to report a suspicious subject standing across the street from his home. The subject was smoking and staring at his residence. Officers arrived on scene, located a subject matching the description and stopped to investigate a potential peeping/prowling violation. The subject saw the officers and a short foot pursuit ensued.

He was detained in the 600 block of West Colorado and arrested for resisting/delaying a peace officer. No injuries were sustained. The suspect was arrested and later released with a citation to appear in court on the charges.

April 10

At 7:05 p.m., officers responded to the 100 block of East Lime regarding a vehicle blocking the aisle of a parking lot. A 1998 Acura was found with its doors open and keys in the ignition. A computer check revealed it was reported stolen the previous day. The owner was notified regarding his recovered vehicle.

The investigation is continuing.

Los Angeles County Superior Court, Alhambra Branch.

Chen is currently being held on $5 million bail. Deputy District Attorney Theodore Swanson, who is assigned to the case, said on March 21 a Monterey Park resident called authorities to report a foul odor coming from a parked vehicle near her home. When police arrived at the location, they found an unlocked car, the prosecutor said. When the officer opened the trunk, they discovered the body of Chinese national Min Gu. The victim had been shot several times, the prosecutor added.

Authorities began an investigation into the homicide and

learned that the defendant had reportedly been one of the last people in contact with Gu while he was still alive, according to the prosecutor.

Law enforcement obtained a warrant to search Chen’s home and when they went to the location, it appeared it may have been the scene of the murder, the prosecutor added. Additionally, law enforcement discovered Chen was growing marijuana in the house. If convicted as charged, Chen faces a maximum possible sentence of 53 years to life in state prison. The case is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Four Responses to ‘Iconic Arcadia Windmill Will …

Turn! Turn! Turn!’

(4/7/16 Issue) Way to go George!

- Gene Glasco

I grew up with the windmill turning and I am very happy to see it will be turning again!

I am looking forward to the day it is restored!

Thank you to George Fasching and Denny’s in making this happen!

This is great news for our city!

- Burton Brink

Very cool. Good job George!

By the way Terry, I’m sure Pete Seeger would be glad to accept credit for writing, “To everything there is a season,” but of course that song is singing a Biblical verse in Ecclesiastes: To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born and a time to die …

I’m sure Pete and God

are both enjoying a nice chuckle together right now!

- Scott Hettrick

These types of endeavors are pretty cool! I wasn’t around when the windmill still worked, but I most definitely appreciate the sentiments expressed on this fine project!

- Domenico Tallerico

Dear Editor: My name is Maurine St. Gaudens and I read with great interest your article regarding the restoration of the “Iconic Arcadia Windmill.” As a point of historical reference, the Van de Kamp windmill logo was designed by the Alhambra artist Sam Hyde Harris. In my work representing the Harris estate, I have come to know the windmill design and its history quite intimately. In writing the Sam Hyde Harris monograph that was published in 2007, I included a number of examples of the logo in the book along with historical background on the windmill design. If you are interested, possibly for a future article, I would be happy to share additional information and/or im-

ages with you.

Letter to the Editor Regarding El Monte Union High School Appointment

Concerning the appointment of Mr. Eddie Zúñiga as our El Monte Union High School District’s Interim Superintendent, I wish to add important information. My reluctance to make this appointment was the result of my very careful analysis. First of all, Mr. Zúñiga is our district’s assistant superintendent of personnel, which is a fulltime job requiring enormous amounts of his time.

As interim superintendent he has accepted another full-time job, which also requires an enormous commitment of his time and energy.

Added to this scenario is his commitment to complete his doctoral program at USC, which also requires full-time focus and investment of additional time,

Having myself taught graduate classes at USC and the University of Mexico, I know firsthand the burden placed on a doctoral student.

In conclusion, Mr. Zúñiga may become overwhelmed with these three full-time responsibilities.

Revolving History In 1953 when Arcadia Methodist Hospital opened its doors, there was a lighted cross on the roof which rotated. In that same era Van de Kamp’s opened its restaurant with the turning windmill. In the 1970s the city council adopted a new comprehensive sign ordinance which prohibited moving signs. The city stopped the cross from turning; they stopped the windmill from turning, and the traditional barber poles stopped turning.

Write-in Candidate Thanks Community

Dear Editor: Now that the election is over it is hard to believe how much has happened in just two short months since I first announced my candidacy in mid-February on the Tattler. Literally thousands of flyers have been handed out door-to-door.

Hundreds of phone calls have been made. I have appeared at civic clubs, been interviewed by local papers, and spoken at every planning commission and city council meeting on subjects from preserving Sierra Madre, contracting with the sheriff, and water conservation.

Trying to describe how wonderful it has been to work so hard to reach a common goal shared by so many others who have also

worked tirelessly to get me elected is just not possible.

To explain how saddened I am that I have not been able to achieve the goal of getting elected is also not possible. I cannot tell you how disappointed I feel for all of us who have tried so hard to make a difference.

Still, I have always been one who looks for the positive. In this case I am so grateful for making so many new friends who have supported me, encouraged me, advised me, and stood by me during this incredible experience.

With each new day, come new possibilities. Tomorrow is a new day, so I will see what possibilities come tomorrow.

In the meantime, look for me at city council and planning commission meetings. I will be at the planning commission meeting Thursday, April 21, to speak about protecting our open spaces.

So the beat goes on and so do we.

I thank you all with all my heart and soul.

SCAG Workshop Slated April 28

“Aldi’s private label brands and prices range from 20 to 50 percent lower than that of competitors ...“ - Courtesy Photo

Aldi to Open in Arcadia April 21

German discount grocer Aldi will open 10 new stores in Southern California later this month, including a grand opening in Arcadia April 21.

In June, Aldi disclosed it would break into the hypercompetitive Southern California market by offering consumers an affordable alternative to leading grocers.

More than 90 percent of the merchandise sold at the

stores is Aldi’s private label brands and prices range from 20 to 50 percent lower than that of competitors such as Albertsons, Ralphs, or Vons, according to a company press release.

The California expansion is part of Aldi’s fiveyear plan to open 605 stores nationwide.

The new Arcadia location will be at 1403 S. Baldwin Ave.

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) will hold a development workshop for the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. President Obama declared part of the San Gabriel Mountains a National Monument last year. A plan to manage the monument must now be developed and implemented by the U.S. Forest Service.

SCAG's workshop will be held on Thursday April 28 at the Azusa National Guard Armory (1351 W. Sierra Madre Ave. in Azusa) from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The meeting will consist of transportation agencies and other state and local stakeholders in a day-long discussion that will help form the San Gabriel National Monument transportation component of the plan. The program will include guest speakers and panels related to the topic.

An art exhibit of work from sculptor Carole Babcock will be on display on Saturday April 30 and Sunday May 1 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at a private home in Pasadena. This display will be a fundraising event for Pasadena Village. 25 percent of all sales will be donated to the Village.

Dancing long before she carved in stone, Carole Babcock draws upon her experience to bring unique fluidity to her sculptures.

Carole believes that art and

life work best as an integrated whole and that one enhances the other.

Carole began her artistic career by sculpting in clay, but soon found herself drawn to stone. Carole says, “My greatest pleasure is finding the contrary duality of resistance and manageability.” Penetrating the outer layer of the stone, Carole learned to work as an ally.

Addressing this understanding between artist and material, Carole admits, “I know the challenge is mak-

ing the stone do what I want it to do … but in a lot of cases, I had to let the stone do what it was going to let me do.” Carole has been carving for the past 30 years, and she carves mostly alabaster, but also soapstone and marble. Most of her pieces have been sold to private collectors, and several have been featured at the California Community Foundation in Los Angeles, and the Showcase House Fine Arts Center, and Garland Theater in Pasadena.

Carole Babcock’ Sculpture Exhibit is a fund raising event for Pasadena Village.

The mission of the Pasadena Village is to connect people aged 55 and over to programs and services which will enable its members to enjoy safe, healthy, satisfying and fruitful lives while remaining in their homes Please call (626) 7656037 or email lina@pasadenavillage.org for reservation, event location or information.

is your typical sci-fi spoof.

Somewhere out there in the universe lurks a dark force that wishes to encroach upon the goods of a resourceful, yet peaceful galaxy. Will the galaxy survive? Will the dark force rule the universe? Can we stop the sci-fi and superhero movie craze? The show features the typical sci-fi archetypes: a young and beautiful princess is in peril, a dark and foreboding figure threatening the universe, a young, reluctant anti-hero who must step up to save the galaxy, secondary sarcastic sidekicks, talking animals and objects, and wise old sages that speak words of wisdom, but will the others listen? If you have binged watched all of the Star Wars movies, then you will love “Galactic Orbs –The Farce Meanders.”

Teacher and director Michele Gaffney has “joined forces” (get it?) with other faculty members in creating a truly collaborative, cross-curricular experience for our theatre patrons. The

Rams Repertory Company has incorporated faculty and student talent from our on-campus courses such as: woodshop, responsible for the cutting, sanding, and drilling of stage set pieces; graphics, responsible for the creation of production posters; photography, responsible for professional quality head shots; creative clothing, for the construction, alteration and repairs of costumes; Dragon Flicks; for the installation and delivery of lights, sound, and film; and lastly, small business/culinary arts, for the ultimate galactic food court by creating dishes inspired by the genre of the play. Gaffney wishes to thank her colleagues (Mr. Bourjelis, Mr. Kidd, Mr. Lieu, Mrs. Allen, and Ms. Kidd) for thinking outside the box and for their willingness to challenge their students in this cross curricular event. This theatrical event is also a showcase and fundraiser for the aforementioned groups. Audience members are not only encouraged to

come dressed as their favorite sci-fi character, but are also encouraged to partake in: the purchase of student-made production posters, the purchase of a full-scale sci-fi photo booth complete with set and props, and the purchase of a student-created tasting menu. There will be display boards featuring all of the hard work that has been put forth by the students involved in this production as well as a “making of” featurette and “bloopers” reel.

This marks the Rams Repertory Company’s 10th season. Previous productions include: “Our Town,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “The Crucible,” “A Christmas Story,” “All in the Timing,” “Tartuffe,” “The Troubadours of Trouble,” “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” and much more. TCHS campus is located at 9501 Lemon Ave. Pre-sale tickets are $7 and are available through the activities office at (626) 548-5000, extension 5160. General admission is $10.

‘Armenia, My Love’ to Screen in Pasadena, Glendale, and North Hollywood Red Carpet World Premiere Screening and After-Party, April 14 in Pasadena With the 101-year anniversary of the Armenian Genocide quickly approaching, so is the opportunity for people in Pasadena, Glendale, North Hollywood, and surrounding cities to attend a showing of the highlyanticipated feature film by Diana Angelson, “Armenia, My Love” (http://armeniangenocidemovie.com/).

The powerful drama, which beautifully shines a light on an extremely dark time in history, kicks off its limited Los Angeles theatrical release beginning on Friday, April 15.

“Armenia, My Love” will screen in Pasadena at the Laemmle Playhouse 7 located at 673 E. Colorado Blvd., as well as at the Laemmle NoHo 7 at 5240 Lankershim Blvd. in North Hollywood.

The film is also screening at the MGN 5 Star Cinema located at 128 N. Maryland Ave. in Glendale, which has one of the largest communities of Armenian descent in the United States.

The night before, a red carpet world premiere screening event will be held in Pasadena at the Laemmle Playhouse 7. Tickets are available for purchase to attend the Thursday, April 14, exclusive star-studded event which also includes a Q & A with the filmmakers and cast. Afterwards, the festivities will move to an after-party at local hot spot Edwin Mills, by Equator, the sophisticated gastropubisque restaurant and bar from esteemed Pasadenabased restaurateur Teddy B., located a at 22 Mills Place at the intersection of Mills Place and Edwin Alley.

full life fading into the loss of color, brought by sadness and death, which are translated on the screen as black and white. Also of note is the awe-inspiring artwork created by esteemed Romanian artist Paula Matei, adding yet another layer of depth and authenticity to the film.

“While ‘Armenia, My Love’ does expose the harsh realities faced by the entire Armenian people who were violently ripped from their homeland,” said Angelson who felt compelled to produce this film by her many Armenian friends and the powerful story they had to share. “It is ‘Armenia, My Love’s’ strong messages of hope, love, faith, perseverance, and strength that I wanted to prevail.”

And so they did. So much so that Angelson was chosen by Reuben Vardanyan’s 100 Lives Foundation, whose co-chair is George Clooney, as one of the people that commemorated the genocide in a special way.

American director Diana Angelson (“Dracula: The Impaler,” “The Second Coming of Christ”), who also stars in and wrote the screenplay, “Armenia, My Love” revolves around the plight of a happy family living in the Ottoman Empire on the occupied territory of Armenian homeland, now Eastern Turkey, in 1915, whose dreams for the future become memories in the eyes of the most famous Armenian American art-

ist, who lives to paint the story of his shattered childhood. Joining Angelson is a highly-regarded cast including the incomparable Shake Tukhmanyan (“Lord of War,” “Sideways”), Arman Nshanian (“Palco & Hirsch”) and Nazo Bravo (“Armenian American”), who is also a recording artist.

“Armenia, My Love” was masterfully shot by Romanian cinematographer Marius Neacsu, with the colorful scenes portraying a

A Solution for the Inclusion People With ASD Face

By Roshan Perera

A

utism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological disorder that affects the way a child’s brain develops in certain areas. Specifically, the way their language and social skills develop. This means that they may not recognize the social cues that we all take for granted. I may cross my arms and frown if I am upset or angry with what someone has done to me, but a person with ASD may not

recognize that I am upset.

There is no cure for ASD, and its causes are still being researched. But, there are growing resources for people who have ASD and for their caregivers. Almost all of these resources focus on integrating people with ASD into normal social situations, while at the same time understanding that their condition may cause them to act or respond differently than most people. The focus is on inclusion, understanding and compassion.

Social situations such as going out to dinner, meeting new people or even seeing a new movie can be very stressful for both children with ASD and their caregivers. Millions of people go out and watch the latest blockbuster without a second thought, but for a child with ASD the experience might leave them overwhelmed. The dim lighting, loud sounds and presence of strangers around them might cause them to panic.

Or, just being able to see

their favorite movie star may cause them to be overexcited and they may not be able to control showing their excitement (I know that feeling!).

For a long time the typical family movie outing was not an option for parents and caregivers. Thankfully, because of the increase in autism awareness this is changing.

AMC Sensory Friendly Films is one example of a growing number of businesses that are adapting to become more welcoming to people with ASD and their families. What began as one mother’s response to feeling frustrated that her child couldn’t enjoy watching her favorite actor has become a way for thousands of families to spend quality time together and enjoy what most families take for granted. AMC Theatres provides a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis for this to happen.

In order to provide a more comfortable setting

for people with ASD, the movie theater keeps their lights turned slightly

up and the sound turned slightly down. Because some have strict, special dietary needs, families are permitted to bring their own gluten-free, casein-free snacks from home. Also, moviegoers are allowed to get up, walk around, sing, dance, and shout with excitement all without having to worry if they will be asked to leave. Not only is it a great resource for parents and caregivers to take their child to the movies and have quality time, but also to meet other children who have ASD, and form friendships in an atmosphere of understanding and compassion.

In the San Gabriel Valley area the AMC Covina 17 and AMC Santa Anita 16 both offer Sensory Friendly Films on the second and fourth Tuesday and Saturday of each month.

Saturday showings are usually around 10 a.m. and Tuesday showings are at approximately 7 p.m.

set to 6 percent on July 1.

The measure will increase the tax rate to 10 percent, indefinitely, starting July 1.

Proponents of the measure voted with the hope that Sierra Madre could retain its ailing police department and prevent the rest of the officers from leaving to go to higher paying cities.

Sierra Madre has had a

UUT since 1993. Residents and businesses are taxed for electricity, gas, telephone (including cellphone and long distance), trash (sanitation/solid waste), cable television, water, and sewer use.

Mayor John Capoccia and Councilman Harabedian said during the election that they supported the recent measure to bring the UUT back up to 10 percent

to give the city financial stability.

The UUT is the secondlargest source of revenue for the city at about $2 million. Only property taxes bring in more revenue. Staff reports say the city is relying on its reserves to balance the current fiscal year budget because of the drop in the UUT rate to 8 percent last year and is expecting a deficit of nearly $1 million

Mountain View is leading the way as our first high school in the San Gabriel Valley with a student-run branch on campus,” Napolitano said. “This not only teaches our students to make good financial decisions, it provides real-world experience in a professional setting, building important skills for work and customer service. It is also very inspiring to see our youth helping their peers, which offers them valuable mentoring opportunities while boosting financial literacy at a critical age. We are so grateful to Union Bank for partnering on this innovative program to help students develop tools for lifelong success.”

Located inside the Mountain View High School campus, the student-run branch is staffed by 10 student bankers who acquire skills in finance, as well as teamwork, leadership and the hands-on experience of working in a bank overseen by a seasoned Union Bank branch manager.

Historian to Lecture on Shakespeare Oak’s Odyssey of the Mind Team Saturday, April 23, from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., Professor Neil Earle of Grace Communion Seminary will present a free seminar, “Shakespeare Revisited,” at the Duarte Public Library.

The Elizabethan writer had the unusual distinction of being born and then deceasing on the same day, as best we know. “That would be April 23, 1616 for his death - 400 years to the very

day of our lecture,” says Earle.

“Our approach will be upbeat and enlightening, having fun with DVD clips from various Shakespeare plays that have made it into film,” adds Earle. Guests are asked to bring along their favorite Shakespeare quotes or lines - something for everyone. The target audience is the general reader not the specialist, though all are welcome.

“Our talk is designed to rekindle interest in our greatest writer in English,” adds Earle. “Most of us were exposed to him in high school or college so in that sense we are revisiting him. Hopefully this will motivate us to take up a play again and read it.

There are surprising depths to his subject matter which was basically the human predicament presented as history, comedy and tragedy.”

Competes at State Level

On Saturday, Feb. 27, Oak Avenue Intermediate School’s Odyssey of the Mind team attended the Los Angeles Basin Odyssey of the Mind Regional Tournament at San Marino High School.

Teams from the Los Angeles basin and surrounding areas attended the competition, 44 in total. Each team had to choose one of the five problems offered and provide a creative solution. The teams were judged on three levels; an eight-minute program outlined in the problem, the style in which it was presented, and a spontaneous problem solved at the competition.

Oak had two teams participate this year and the “Aesop Gone Viral” team placed second in their division and advanced to the state level competition on April 2 at the University of California at Riverside. Oak students, Amanda Tsang, Rosalind Tran, Serena Ong, Emily Bacheller, and Ranneme Abu Hajar, are excited to represent the Los Angeles basin at this event.

ment held at UC Riverside.

Oak’s team did not place high enough to continue on to compete at the world level but had a fantastic experience that will allow them to develop their team to achieve a higher level of competition in the future.

The Odyssey of the Mind Program promotes creativity by challenging teams to solve divergent problems.

By working in teams, participants learn teamwork, the appreciation and understanding of others, and that a group is a more powerful thinking force than one individual. They develop a sense of self-respect and respect for others through preparatory activities such as brain-

storming and role-playing.

While the ultimate goal for most teams is to present their problem solutions in official competitions, this is not a requirement. The purpose of the program is to provide students with an exciting learning experience that promises to be challenging and fun.

Odyssey of the Mind is a world-wide creative problem-solving competition for students of all ages. Student teams of students select a problem, create a solution, and present their solution in a competition against other teams in the same problem and division. Winning teams move on to state, national and world competitaions.

Videotheque is a movie-lover’s paradise. Searching for that hard-to-find foreign film or cult classic?

Have you already exhausted your Netflix account?

Then look no further than South Pasadena’s one-stop cinema shop. Whether you are simply looking to rent a weekend flick or you are a hardcore movie-buff seeking that rare, final piece for your collection, Videotheque will be able to help you out.

Owner Mark Wright opened up shop in 2003, originally at the corner of Mission and Meridian. The store began with a modest catalog of a couple thousand titles, a combination of Wright’s personal collection and new acquisitions.

Despite its inception taking place during what turned out to be a very turbulent time for larger companies such as Blockbuster and Hollywood Video, Videotheque persevered by establishing itself within niche markets.

Wright revealed that by exploring certain niches which the larger chains did not involve themselves with (i.e. documentaries, international films, indie, cult classics, and television shows) Videotheque was able to overcome the newfound challenges presented by Netflix and online streaming. In effect, the store cultivated a very specific foundation of customers on which to grow the business. Resultantly, Videotheque did not just survive when its larger counterparts failed, it thrived.

Eventually Wright’s business outgrew its humble beginnings and in 2009, the store moved down the street to its current location which is almost 33 percent larger than the original space. Today the store holds a collection of over 30,000 titles, truly living up to its name which translates from French to: “Video Library.”

The store carries every genre imaginable and each section is conveniently organized by director or actor.

But Wright’s pride and joy lies in his international film collection, which covers just about every corner of the globe. It is in this variety and breadth of scope that the business’ success lies.

Even today, when there are seemingly infinite options to stream online, many foreign films and older classics are still unavailable on digital mediums. Thanks to their massive collection, the store is, in a sense, immune to the challenges put

forth by this digital age we live in. While online services are competing with each other, struggling to acquire studio rights, Videotheque already has it all. Instead of limiting yourself to online selections restricted by Hollywood politics, step inside the vast Videotheque archives where you can seemingly browse for hours upon hours.

In addition to movies, Videotheque boasts a fantastic collection of vintage records (they also pay cash for used vinyl), unique movie posters and postcards that you cannot find anywhere else, and even its very own line of film-inspired t-shirts.

Videotheque is open late (closes at 11 p.m. seven days a week), so next time

you find yourself having a particularly quiet Friday night, or if you just cannot seem to find anything to watch, swing by Videotheque. Membership to rent is completely free and the store offers special rental package deals that will send you home with hours of entertainment, all while delivering minimal damage to your wallet.

Videotheque is located at 1020 Mission St., suite J, conveniently near the Metro Gold Line station on Meridian.

20 | april 14, 2016 - april 20, 2016

By jonathan tsou On April 14, Arcadia Unified School District will be hosting the Arcadia High School (AHS) Spring Preview Day and Orientation.

The event encourages middle school families and prospective students to visit and learn about the numerous student-led clubs, aca-

demic teams, sports teams, performing arts groups, and parent organizations at the high school. The event also allows the community to see AHS’s new career technical education building and upgraded administration building. This construction took place because of the "Arcadia Neighborhood Schools Health, Safety, and

BeaconMediaNews.com

The Preview Day will take place at AHS where staff, students, and parents will come together to showcase what the school has to show. Highlights will include performances by the AHS Pep Band, demonstrations by Science profes-

DUSD’s Pillars of Promise On April 9, the strategic planning team, comprised of a wide variety of stakeholders, assembled for the third time to continue the process of developing a 5-year plan for Duarte Unified School District (DUSD). The plan is called the Competitive Advantage Plan (CAP). It highlights the many advantages of attending Duarte schools.

The CAP revolves around a set of pillars that support our District’s vision. The four pillars are 21st Century Learning, 21st Century Schools, Workforce Devel-

opment, and Community Engagement & Communication. The primary sources of input informing the CAP development process are the surveys and focus group meetings with students, parents, staff, alumni, and community members. The central themes that evolved from the survey results became the four pillars that formed the foundation of the CAP and the recurring theme became our vision: 21st Century Schools producing 21st Century students. What does this look like in practice? In a

sentence, schools are transformed into living schoolyards with multiple innovation labs, makerspaces, and learning commons where students and teachers work side by side to develop global competencies measured in the key literacies that fuse the 3R’s (Reading, Writing & Arithmetic) with the 4C's (Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, & Creativity). The CAP is our promise to you that your children will be prepared for whatever awaits them in the world they are inheriting.

There will be several food trucks, live performances from the AHS Band and Color Guard, campus tours, and an activities fair featuring the many student clubs, academic teams, sports teams, performing arts groups, and parent organizations.

April College Search Guide By may ruiz Freshman: There are only two more months left in the school year. Your ninth graders should be on track on all their academic grades and extra-curricular activities. They need to put extra effort into getting the best grades they could muster. They also should have already lined up summer activities – enrichment programs, summer camps, volunteer work, or parttime jobs.

A recent study released

by Harvard’s Graduate School of Education calls for schools to emphasize both ethical and intellectual engagement, with 80 of the nation’s institutions of higher learning endorsing it. This means that if they were to implement the recommendations put forth, colleges to which your children will later apply would like to see kids who truly showed commitment to the activities they began.

They will want to see one or two important community service work students engaged in for a sustained period of time.

All these – grades, arts,

athletics, community work, employment – from ninth through 12th grade, will be recorded on the transcript that your children’s high schools will send to the colleges to which they apply.

Sophomore: Make sure your children have registered for all the standardized tests they need to take in May or June (Possible SAT II tests for 10th graders are math, chemistry, history and foreign language. These are the subject tests that selective universities require.) Deadlines are April and May for tests in May and June. Students are responsible for registering through the College Board website: www.collegeboard.com.

They should line up their summer activities. If they are taking an art elective, or are interested in a particular art field, they should consider a summer program in that course to put on their resume.

Junior: This is the last complete academic year admissions officers will see when your children apply

to colleges. They want to see grades that are improving from year to year, so the 11th grade final marks should be the highest on the report cards. If your children had gone on college campus tours during spring break, they should also know the academic requirements of the colleges to which they are thinking of applying. They need to look at where they are grades-wise to figure out if the school on their list is a realistic goal.

Make sure your children have registered for the SAT, ACT (www.act. org), SAT II, AP especially if they are thinking of applying through early action or early decision.

They need to line up all their summer activities

– enrichment programs, summer camps, volunteer work, or part-time jobs.

Senior: Some California universities sent out their decision letters mid-March, while for some students this is month they have been waiting for. If your children are lucky enough to be accepted to all the schools to which they applied, they deserve a big congratulations! You can all exhale now!

Now comes the part where your children get to choose the school they really want to attend. During the application process, your children were hoping the colleges to which they applied accept them. Now the colleges that accepted

your children would like your kids to choose them!

In this rank-obsessed world of American universities, the schools encourage all students to apply to them (they actively recruit students they would never even admit because the more applications they receive and the more rejections they send out, the higher they are ranked.)

Now, the tables are turned because once your children get the schools’ acceptance letter, these schools would want to ensure your kids actually attend their college. This is the yield: the higher their yield, the higher their ranking.

If your children are applying for financial aid or scholarships, now is the time to compare schools’ financial aid or scholarship offers. If a particular school really wants your children, you might have the opportunity to ask for a better package than what it originally extended.

If your children have been waitlisted to a school they are determined to get into, they need to respond quickly to let the admissions officers know that they are very interested.

Your children should send a follow-up letter to express that the school is their top choice and that they will definitely enroll if accepted.

Demonstrated interest is all the more critical at this juncture as your children want to ascertain the admissions officers keep them in mind. Encourage your children to work with their high school’s counselor to make sure they send the transcript for the first semester, and any updates on awards and honors received after they sent their application. Your children need to keep in constant touch with the admissions officers.

The admissions office requires a decision from accepted students on May 1. Make sure your children accept the offer of their second choice school where they have been admitted, and pay the required deposit. If your children are later accepted to the school to which they were waitlisted and accept that offer, they will lose the deposit on the other school. But it is their guarantee that they will be attending a college in the fall.

The Third Cat's a Charm

By Jordana Arkin

N

ever in my life did I think I would be the kind of person who would have three cats. Yes, three! Trust me, I know the number three sounds like the gateway to crazy cat lady territory, but I am really not one. Not at all. In fact, when I first volunteered with "Lifeline for Pets," my husband and I completely agreed that we would always remain a twocat-only home. And I honored that two-cat pact for 17 years.

I helped find homes for many abandoned cats and sometimes even fostered a cat, but I never turned our nice suburban house into a free-range, feline farm. It was not until our two elderly cats passed away that our cat number suddenly changed. We instantly went from two to zero.

While still grieving, I went to visit a rescue group at Petco.

That afternoon, the group had compassionately and heroically rescued a big, beautiful, 5-year-old black and white fluff-ball who was abandoned at the store. Having the room, I agreed to take her in. She was so content with us, we named her Happy Cow. Now to find cat number two!

We were at our vet when we saw a kitten they rescued

and believed was feral. We carefully let him sniff our closed hands, and then gently petted his head. Well, the adorable little guy started purring up a storm and nuzzled up to my 10-year-old son!

He turned out to be extremely easy going and super friendly.

We named him Jasper. Although he and Happy Cow co-existed just fine, I privately missed the playfulness and closeness of my previous cats.

That is when I happened to hear about the rescue group pulling a young playful, Maine Coon (Suki) out of the shelter in the nick of time. I was already at my two-cat limit - but I knew how important and appreciated fosterers are for rescue groups so I offered to foster her temporarily.

But to my surprise, when I let Suki roam my home, within seconds, she and Jasper acted like siblings separated at birth! They frolicked and rolled around and like two furry WWF wrestlers! From a

distance, Happy Cow watched them curiously ‌ and then she started playing with Jasper!

At that moment, we realized she did not know how to play until she saw other cats playing. It was an amazing sight to see. Instead of three being an odd number, it brought our two cats closer together. Okay, yes, I had to renegotiate my agreement for a two-cat-only home, but as my husband carried Suki around cradled in his arms, I knew I did not have too much convincing to do. So, like I said, I am not a crazy cat lady, just someone who opened my home and my heart to one more feline who ended up bringing more love and joy into our lives.

Times Have Changed

By Dorothy Denne

C

leaning my files always provides me a wealth of opportunities to reminisce, to cry, to laugh, and to just simply count my blessings.

I found this little gem that someone sent me: “A Guideline for Female Schoolteachers” (1907).

1. Do not get married.

2. Do not leave town anytime without school board permission.

3. Do not keep company with men.

4. Be home between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.

5. Do not smoke.

6. Do not loiter around in ice cream shops.

7. Do not dress in bright colors.

8. Do not dye your hair.

9. Do not wear any dress more than two inches above the ankle.

10. Do not get into any carriage with any man except your father or brother.

Kind of funny, huh? Now, are you ready for the next one?

Along with that guide-

line, I found the following from the Teachers' Handbook I was given when I started my teaching position in California in 1964. It was written by a female principal, if that means anything.

Appropriate Dress for Teachers: 1. Ladies a. Extremes of dress, hairdo, etc., may tend to draw criticism and, therefore, should be avoided. b. Since it is my responsibility to evaluate, in all fairness, you will need to know some of my feelings in this area.

Hose: It is permissible to be hoseless if (1) your legs are reasonably slender and hairless, (2) well fitting "peds” are worn with heelless or toeless shoes, (3) your legs are free of blemishes such as scars, broken veins, etc.

- Hair: Excessively long hair worn "down" seems to me extreme and therefore to be avoided.

- Dresses: Cottons are fine provided they do not have a "housedress" look (you are

professional people). Sleeveless dresses are OK provided underarm hair is carefully removed.

- Shoes: Shoes should be appropriate to your duties.

Extremely high heels do not lend themselves to yard duty or P.E. Some types of sandals are in this class also, if you are a "high-heeler," better keep a pair of "reasonable flats" in your cupboard for these times.

- Girdles: If you need one wear it.

- Nails: There is a danger of scratching children inadvertently, if nails are excessively long. Paint them if you can keep them neat … if not, better avoid paint. Extremes of color are to be avoided for school time … that is, motherof-pearl, silver, blue, etc.

2. Men: Conventional business shirts. Shorts sleeves are OK or sleeves rolled. Tie may be removed and neck opened during warm weather.

Yeah right. I think the poor dear has passed on by now, and it is probably just as well. Times have changed.

Jack Male Orange and White, Age: 2 What a beautiful, fluffy boy! We call him “Ginger Jack” or “Jack of Hearts.” He was born August 2013 and is a total love! Jack is a super sweet, friendly boy - mildmannered and playful. He will win your heart. Jack is neutered, current on vaccines, micro-chipped, and tested negative for feline HIV/leukemia. Call (626) 676-9505 to arrange a meeting, or visit our website for

an adoption application.

We show our cats most Sunday afternoons at Petsmart, 3347 E. Foothill Blvd. in Pasadena, 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. We work hard to keep our kitties healthy, socialized, and happy. Convenient adoption application, more pictures, and videos on our excellent website, www. lifelineforpets.org.

Remembering Ruby Harvey

GROUND BREAKING FORECLOSURE RULING! The California Supreme Court ruled on February 18, 2016 that a homeowner has the right to challenge his lender's authority to foreclose based upon void assignments of the loan to third parties. The high court expressly upheld an earlier California Appellate opinion called Glaski v Bank of America. This decision could set aside many foreclosures and/or obtain monetary damages, settle lawsuits with modifications and prevent foreclosures from happening in the first place.

This decision will hopefully provide our firm with even more legal leverage to not only set aside many foreclosures and /or obtain money damages, but settle lawsuits with modifications and prevent foreclosures from happening in the first place.

A Longtime Monrovia Resident and a Very Sweet Lady Ruby Harvey was a fixture in downtown, greeting people and animals alike as they passed by the business she and her family owned in Old Town, Monrovia Travel.

There was no one in town who met her and did not love her.

Part of her charm was that she treated everyone who entered the office as though they were guests in her home, rather than entering a business. Another part of that charm was her love of bright colors and beautiful flowers. She regularly wore red and purple and almost always had flowers in her hair.

She was born Ruby Gloria Melendrez on June 4, 1927, in Dona Ana, N.M. She, along with her baby brother and mother, moved to Los Angeles shortly after her brother, Simon, was born in 1930 to live with her grandparents. Her grandfather was a Fourscore Gospel minister and Ruby frequently attended the Angelus Temple to hear the famous Amy Semple McPherson speak.

She attended Wilson High School, near downtown Los Angeles and had a wonderful time dancing with all her friends at the Pasadena Civic during those years. She also worked as an elevator girl at the famous Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.

After high school Ruby attended Pasadena City College where she met her husband John Harvey. They were married in 1949 after he finished his service in World War II. John became Dr. Harvey after attending optometric college and

opened up his first optometry practice in Claremont.

After a couple of years the couple moved to Monrovia where they settled down to raise a family. John opened up his optometry office in downtown Monrovia and the couple soon became very active in the community. Ruby became the social chairman for everything. She and/or Dr. Harvey were active with the Monrovia Tennis Club; the Monrovia Women’s Club; the Presbyterian church, and that church’s club, the Mariners; the Jaycees; Monrovia Kiwanis Club; and the Monrovia Quota Club, just to name a few.

When not involved in some social aspect of the community, Ruby was active in raising their two children Denise and Scott, attending vocal concerts for Denise and football games for Scott.

In addition, the family began traveling domestically and internationally in the early 1960s. They traveled

to Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, the South Pacific, Russia, Mexico, and Central America, as well as the United States and Canada. Denise has fond memories of singing arias with Ruby in the many Greek and Roman amphitheaters that they visited.

According to Denise, many wonderful family memories were made on those trips!

In 1985 the family purchased Monrovia Travel.

Ruby did administrative work, running the office all the way up until recently.

She loved being in the office and greeting all the customers. She became the town ambassador greeting all the folks walking by the office and petting their dogs. Ruby was known for her beautiful smile, positive attitude, zest for life, her generosity, and kindness given to all who crossed her path. She was a true inspiration to all that knew her.

She is survived by her daughter Denise Harvey and son Scott Harvey, and five grandchildren: Benjamin Sellick, Scotty, Elise, Brittney and Natasha Harvey.

Ruby passed away on March 24. Services will be held for her on Saturday, April 23, at 2 p.m. at the Sanctuary for Spiritual Living located at 5446 N. Citrus Ave. in Covina. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Pasadena Humane Society, 361 S. Raymond Ave. As a tribute to Ruby, the family has asked those attending the service wear red, and for the ladies: flowers in your hair would be a very “Ruby” touch.

Dorothea Leonard

•

Longtime Monrovia resident Dorothea "Dodie" Leonard, 83, passed away March 31, 2016. She was a member of PEO and Hospital Guild and was also a former member of Dance Club and the Monrovia Tennis Club. After graduating from Pasadena City College and College of the Pacific, Dodie began her career as a kindergarten teacher at Gidley School in El Monte. Taking time off to raise four sons

with husband Joe, Dodie returned to the profession as a substitute teacher at Immaculate Conception when a sudden serious illness befell one of the faculty. She taught for many years in Duarte, both at Royal Oaks Elementary and Northview Junior High. After retiring, she traveled extensively with Joe until his sudden passing in 2003. She was to know more sorrow when sons Kenneth and Eric also died unexpect-

edly in 2004 and 2009. Helping her get through the grief was a close circle of friends known as the Sunshine Club.

Dodie is survived by sons Kris and David; daughtersin-law Carol, Susan, and Kathie; and grandchildren Reed, Audrey, Elizabeth, Joe, Scott, David, Kristina, and Amy. A memorial service was held at Douglass & Zook Mortuary, 600 E. Foothill in Monrovia, last Saturday, April 9 at 1 p.m.

Back to Basics – Low Maintenance Flower Garden Care Grow a beautiful flower garden with minimal care by investing a bit of time at the start of the season to reduce on-going care.

Always match flowers to the growing conditions and the care you are willing to provide. Low maintenance plants need minimal or no deadheading and staking. This means you will be growing good-looking plants with little effort on your part. And if the plants are suited to the growing conditions and resistant to common pests you will be doing less work managing insect and disease problems.

Further reduce your workload by selecting selfcleaning or free flowering annuals and perennials and those bred for long bloom and compact growth. You will enjoy more colorful flowers with less pruning and grooming.

Ageratum, angelonia, calibrochoa, and many of the newer petunia cultivars are just a few of the annuals that do not need regular deadheading for continual bloom.

Include perennials like willow amsonia, bugbane, Solomon seal, turtlehead, and sedum autumn joy for lower maintenance and big results.

Prepare the soil and provide proper fertilization before planting. Work several inches of compost or other organic matter into the top eight to 12 inches of soil to improve drainage and water holding ability. Incorporate a low nitrogen organic fertilizer like Milorganite (milorganite.com) at the same time.

The slow release formulation provides needed nutrients throughout most if not all of the season. Plus, it promotes slow steady growth that will not interfere with flowering, is less susceptible to pests and is more drought-tolerant.

Properly space the plants, making sure they have sufficient room to reach their full size. Overcrowding means you will be thinning or dividing plants more often or battling disease problems instead of enjoying the full beauty the plants provide.

Consider removing flowers on annuals at planting.

This allows plants to focus energy on establishing roots instead of flowers. Cannot bear to do this? Then remove the flowers on every other plant or every other row. Then a week or two later remove the flowers on the remaining plants. You will soon be rewarded with full compact plants that will produce more flowers throughout the season.

Pinch back long and leggy transplants. Use a hard pinch to remove the tip and several inches of stem. Use your prun-

ers or fingers to remove stems just above a set of leaves. The remaining plant will still look good while you wait for new leaves and stems to grow and produce new blooms.

Encourage branching on single stemmed plants with a soft pinch. Remove just the uppermost portion of the stem where the leaves and tip are starting to develop. Soon you will have a well branched plant and more blossoms.

Improve plant posture and reduce the need for staking with early season pruning.

Keep mums and asters compact by pinching them back to

six inches throughout June to encourage compact growth.

Eliminate floppy growth and the need for staking on late bloomers like Boltonia, Autumn Joy sedum, Russian sage, and Heliopsis Revive catmint and perennial salvia that flop open in the center with pruning.

Cut flopping plants back halfway once or twice a season as needed.

And do not forget to mulch. Covering the soil surface with an inch or two of shredded leaves, evergreen needles/pine straw, or other organic material will conserve

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-praisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

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 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.

Six La Salle Lancers Sign National Letters of Intent Six student-athletes from La Salle High School signed National Letters of Intent on April 12, to their respective universities.

- Brandon Jenkins has been on the varsity baseball team for four years, accumulating an earned run average of just over 2.0 with over 75 strikeouts. He made his de-

cision this past fall to attend Haverford College in Pennsylvania, an academic decision as much as a baseball decision.

- Lauren Rewers is a three-year varsity outside hitter and opposite for the Lancers’ volleyball team.

Rewers will be attending St. Olaf University in Minnesota

where she is slated to play outside hitter.

- Jacqueline Torrez has had a sensational four-year career in the Lancer swimming program. Torrez will be swimming for Division I George Washington University in Washington, D.C., with an emphasis on the individual medley and breaststroke

- Joel Brown is a twoyear varsity starter playing right field and as a relief

pitcher on the Lancers’ baseball team. Brown has committed to Chapman University for baseball as their top

outfield prospect.

- Brianna Steger has been the rock of the La Salle girls’ golf team for four seasons. She is the first ever-female golfer to advance to the CIF finals in school history.

Steger signed with The Matadors of California State University, Northridge (CSUN).

- Vanessa Dwyer is a four-year varsity softball player and a three-year starting pitcher and first baseman.

Dwyer signed with Vanguard University where she will focus on pitching in college.

Baseball Legend Jackie Robinson Celebrated at Pasadena Unified Schools The legacy of baseball legend Jackie Robinson will be celebrated at two Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) campuses this week as the new documentary film premieres on local television.

Norma Coombs Elementary School welcomes Sharon Robinson, daughter of Jackie Robinson today, Thursday, April 14, at 1:30 p.m. She will present and sign copies of The Hero Two Doors Down, her book based on the true story of a boy in Brooklyn who became neighbors and friends with his hero, Jackie Robinson.

Later in the evening, at 7 p.m., Robinson’s alma mater, John Muir High School, will be the site of “Pasadena's MVP: Jackie Robinson Screening and Conversation,” an event co-presented

by KPCC and PBS SoCal that features excerpts from the film and a panel discussion.

“Jackie Robinson,” the new two-part documentary film by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon, tells the story of an Ameri-

APRIL 14, 2016 - april 20 2016 | 31

Rainy Season on the Old Bowling Greens On April 7, the Santa Anita Bowling Green Club held their monthly Floy Torvid Mixed Pairs Tournament at their greens in the Arcadia County Park.

It was a cool and cloudy day, which was great for lawn bowling. There were eight teams entered for the day and the top four walked away with the money. The rest just had a good time and enjoyed the sport.

First Place went to the team of Houdini Ho and

Cecelia Tong. The second place pair was Marino Tudor and Steve Parise. Third place were Margi Rambo and a new bowler, Dennis Creamer. Fourth slot was taken by Steve Bauchiero and Mow-Yi Chan. Steve replaced Dewey Tse in the second game.

Others in the event were Steve Dowd and Gene Plunkett, Fan Hung and Joy Wang. Sandy Dalzell and Raymond Che, and rounding out the field were Alan Ngo and Foster Wang.

And the winners are: Cecelia Tong and Houdini Ho. As luck would have it, the last 15 minutes it started to drizzle, which sped up the play somewhat.

We are looking for more lawn bowlers. It is and easy sport to learn. Usually two or three lessons are enough to get the newcomer into the game. Everybody started the same way. No quick cuts or secret ways to start lawn bowling. You take lessons

and develop your skills as to what kind of lawn bowling you intend to do.

If you just want a fun sport to enjoy, bowling at the local club level is great.

If you are a competitive bowler, there are national and international games, if you are good enough. These teams play in places like,

China, Hong Kong, Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, South Africa, and several other out of the way places.

If you would like to learn more go to our website: lalwnbowling-arcadia. com. There is a lot of information to learn from the links there. You could call Gene Plunkett at (626) 351-

5327 for lesson information and other information you need.

It is a good time to get to lawn bowling. We will have several hundred bowlers here at the end of April for the Southwest Division Open, feel free to drop by and watch. Try it, you will like it. See you on the greens.

Glendale came out firing right from the opening pitch, scoring 10 runs in the first two innings. Arcadia was able to put up two runs in the third inning, but Glendale kept up the pressure and ended up cruising to a 14-2 victory.

The Lady Apaches score one of their two runs.
