Father Sentenced for Drowning Baby Daughter

A father convicted of killing his 1-year-old daughter in 2011 was recently sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Marquise Jackson, 26, of Lancaster was found guilty on July 20 of one count each of first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death in case GA084095.

Deputy District Attorney Tamu Usher prosecuted the case. According to the evidence presented at trial, Jackson drowned baby Mo'Nayjah Jackson at the apartment of the child’s mother, in the 100 block of West Del Mar Boulevard in Pasadena, while the mother was at work on May 20, 2011. The case was investigated by the Pasadena Police Department.

Hotels and New Construction in Pasadena Pose Questions for Affordable Housing

BY TERRY MILLER “Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here … … We are programmed to

receive You can check out any time you like But you can never leave!”

In case you’ve not been to Pasadena lately, there has been a huge uptick in the construction of mixed use buildings, as well as a whole lot of hotel construction going on in the Crown City.

Depending on who you talk to, you’ll get quite a mixed

bag of reactions on both sides of the developer’s coin when it comes to hotels - especially the so-called “boutique” variety, which is a cleverly-disguised term bankrolled by developers who want to paint a prettier picture of any given development.

We asked several people in Pasadena what they think of this general and rapid increase of building in Pasa-

dena.

Referring to last week’s surprising council decision on the Kimpton “boutique hotel,” for Christle Balvin, the irony of the vote was clear …

“As you may know, Claire and Bill Bogaard joined Sue Mossman in speaking for the YW project. When they went to sit down, no one applauded.

They returned to their seats in a room that was dead si-

lent. All others received applause.” She continued, “ … the city is developing all these hotels and ‘luxury’ condo projects with little thought to the poor and lower middle [class].

JANM Showcases Photographs From WWII Labor Camps The Japanese American National Museum will present “Uprooted: Japanese American Farm Labor Camps During World War II,” a traveling exhibition featuring the work of Farm Security Administration photographer Russell Lee in Oregon and Idaho, from Sept. 27 to Jan. 8, 2017.

During World War II, the United States government forcibly removed over 120,000 Japanese Americans from the Pacific Coast.

These individuals, twothirds of them US citizens, were sent to 10 concentration camps. In some cases, they were first placed in one of 16 assembly centers while the camps were still being built.

Between 1942 and 1944, thousands of these Japanese Americans were then moved from assembly centers and concentration camps to farm labor camps as a way to mitigate the wartime labor shortage. Some 33,000 individual contracts were issued for seasonal farm labor, with many Japanese Americans assigned to work in the sugar beet industry, which played a vital role in producing munitions and synthetic rubber for the military. Under this season-

al leave program, Japanese Americans could earn better wages while contributing to the war effort.

In the summer of 1942, Farm Security Administration (FSA) photographer Russell Lee visited four Japanese American farm labor camps located near the towns of Nyssa, Ore.; and Rupert, Shelley, and Twin Falls, Idaho. He captured the laborers’ day-to-day lives in evocative detail, producing rare images of a little-documented episode of American history. Lee also recorded the forced removal of individuals and families in

California, taking a total of nearly 600 photographs of the Japanese American wartime experience. According to his biographer, F. Jack Hurley, Lee abhorred the government’s treatment of Japanese Americans during the war and wanted to document what he described as a very dark period in American history.

“Uprooted: Japanese American Farm Labor Camps During World War II” showcases a selection of Lee’s farm labor camp photographs accompanied by his original captions. Many of these images have never

before been exhibited. The exhibition also includes a short documentary film featuring firsthand accounts of life in the camps. An extensive website at www.uprootedexhibit.com provides materials for further study, including photographs not in the exhibition, historic documents, video clips, transcripts from oral history interviews, and lesson plans.

“Uprooted” seeks to contextualize Lee’s images within the history of the FSA, as well as Japanese American camp life in the two states.

From 1935 to 1944, the FSA’s renowned documentary photography program produced approximately 175,000 black-and-white film negatives and 1,600 color images. Trained as a chemical engineer, Russell Lee joined Roy Stryker’s staff of FSA photographers in 1936. He continued to work for the New Deal agency until 1943. Lee was by far the most prolific of the agency’s photographers, producing more than 5,000 images in less than seven years. Perhaps best known for his series on Pie Town, N.M., Lee photographed across the United States.

Union Station Appoints New CEO Union Station Homeless Services, a leading non-profit homeless services provider in Los Angeles, recently announced the appointment of John Brauer as the agency's new CEO, effective November 2016.

John Brauer has more than 25 years of non-profit executive experience and holds a master’s in clinical psychology. He comes to Union Station from NW Works, a Virginia-based non-profit agency that provides employment, training, and support services to adults with disabilities.

"I am very excited to be joining such a wonderful organization. Union Station Homeless Services truly makes a difference in the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness and I'm proud to be the newest member of their team.

I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and jump in!"

Brauer’s experience working with youth and adults with disabilities - including people experiencing homelessness - includes day programs, work programs, therapeu-

tic behavior services, social enterprise development, advocacy, government fundraising, and community outreach.

Prior to his work in the non-profit sector, Brauer owned and ran two forprofit businesses. He currently serves as adjunct professor for Florida State University, where he teaches graduate level courses in budget and finance and personnel management for the department of social work.

Brauer takes the reigns from Rabbi Marvin Gross, who retired in June 2016 after serving as the leader of Union Station since 1995.

Union Station has been providing life-saving services to homeless and highly vulnerable community members since 1973.

It is part of a premier group of human services agencies in Los Angeles County that are leading the way to ending homelessness and it is the San Gabriel Valley's lead agency assisting homeless and very lowincome adults and families.

Detectives Still Seek Public’s Assistance in Identifying Body

Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a deceased woman whose body was found Sunday, Aug.14, in a remote area along Gorman Post Road, north of California State Route 138, in Lebec, an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County.

The woman’s body was found in the late afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 14, lying in the brush by a motorist during a rest stop in that area.

The victim appeared to be unconscious, which prompted the motorist to call 911.

Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies and fire rescue personnel responded and discovered the victim suffered trauma to the head.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The victim is a female, either White or of Hispanic descent, 25 to 35 years old, approximately 5 feet 1 inch tall, and weighing approximately 96 pounds. The victim had blue eyes and her hair was dyed a dark burgundy color.

The victim had several

POLICE BLOTTERS SIERRA MADRE Aug. 15 At around 9:50 a.m. officers responded to the Sierra Madre Police Department’s (SMPD) station lobby in regards to a possible fraud report. The victim alleges that a known suspect fraudulently signed and cashed checks from a deceased parent’s bank account without authorization from the trustee. Case was forwarded to detectives.

Aug. 16

Officers responded to a report of a hit and run accident at 1:07 p.m. in the 400 block of West Sierra Madre Boulevard. The victim stated that a vehicle in the parking lot struck their vehicle and proceeded to leave the scene without stopping to exchange information. Victim and witnesses were able to provide information on the suspect vehicle and the driver to the investigating officer.

Case remains pending.

Aug. 17

At around 2:30 p.m. officers were dispatched to a burglary investigation in the 500 block of East Laurel Avenue. The victim reported he left his house at 12:30 p.m. and returned at 2:30 p.m. to find his front door open and the screen to the kitchen window lying on the ground.

Several personal items of value were stolen including a credit card and a package that was delivered earlier.

The victim later received a text message from the bank advising that the credit card had been used at two gas stations in neighboring cities. Case was forwarded to detectives.

Aug. 18 SMPD officers were dispatched to the 200 block of San Gabriel Court for a theft investigation. On Aug. 16, at around 11:30 p.m., LASD deputies responded to a call of a physical altercation. The suspect had left the scene prior to the deputy’s arrival. The victim believes the known suspect stole personal items belonging to the victim. Detectives will follow up on case.

Aug. 14

At 3:55 a.m., officers investigated a carjacking incident in the 900 block of North Raymond Avenue. The victim was sleeping in his car when he was confronted by the suspect (male Black, ju-

venile), who demanded the victim’s vehicle. Fearing for his safety, the victim surrendered his car and called the police. Responding officers located the vehicle a short distance away. The suspect was arrested without incident and subsequently transported to juvenile hall.

The vehicle was returned to the victim.

PASADENA

Aug. 15 At about 1:23 p.m., officers responded to the 1000 block of North Lake Avenue regarding a domestic violence investigation. On arrival, officers learned that the victim and suspect knew each other. During the investigation, officers determined that the male subject had an outstanding no-bail warrant for burglary. When the officers attempted to contact the male subject, he fled on foot.

While evading the officers, the male subject yelled that he was armed with a gun and wanted the police to kill him. The subject reached into his waistband area several times, presumably in an effort to lead officers to believe he was armed. The suspect eventually attempted to shield himself behind a 17-year-old juvenile; however, the pursuing officers were able to subdue the suspect with the use of a less lethal device. The suspect was arrested for the outstanding warrant as well as child endangerment (he was found to be unarmed). The officers involved included: Sergeant Van Heck and Officers Zilbert, Austin, Arbuckle, Allan, Lee, Winkler, Arellanes, and Krikorian. The suspect in this case clearly attempted to instigate a lethal encounter with PPD officers; however, they were able to utilize sound tactics during a rapidly evolving environment, which allowed for the use of a less lethal device without compromising officer safety. Outcomes like the one described in this incident are always desirable; however, they are not always possible. Pasadena Police officers continue to use force prudently and always attempt to deescalate dangerous/violent encounters without themselves or the public.

At 3:03 a.m., officers drove to the 200 block of Arroyo Parkway regarding a theft. On arrival, officers talked with the victim who provided a description of the suspect. The suspect

was located a short time later and when officers attempted to detain him, he (the suspect) resisted. The suspect was eventually arrested without further incident and later booked at the Pasadena Jail.

At 7:32 p.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to the 1300 block of Marianna Road regarding a residential burglary. On arrival, officers talked with the neighbor witness who said he heard glass breaking and looked outside toward the victim’s residence. The witness saw a suspect enter a south side bedroom and subsequently called 911. The initial suspect was assisted by three other male suspects. Moments later, all four suspects exited the victim’s home and left the area. PPD officers and the Air Ops Flight Crew were not able to locate the suspects.

Aug. 17

At 9:44 p.m., officers responded to the 1100 block of Arden Road regarding a burglary investigation. On arrival, officers learned that the victim was inside her home when she confronted a male adult who had apparently entered her residence without permission. When challenged by the victim, the suspect immediately fled the location. Despite a comprehensive search, the suspect was not located. Our subsequent investigation revealed that the suspect entered the victim’s home through an unlocked sliding patio door.

Aug. 18

On June 24, at about 2:42 p.m., several male adult suspects illegally entered a residential property located in the 400 block of South Madison Avenue. The suspects made their way into the secured garage and used a pry tool to break open several parked vehicles. This case was part of a series of auto-burglaries committed in private parking garages along the Del Mar/California corridors. The case was assigned to Pasadena Police Detective Burchett, who conducted a comprehensive investigation which subsequently identified the suspects (James Smith, male Black adult, and Michael Castillo, male Hispanic adult). On Aug. 18, both suspects were arrested without incident. PPD detectives recovered over 200 items of stolen property at the suspects’ Altadena residence.

Great work by all involved.

At about 3 p.m., the Los Angeles Police Department Rampart Division hosted a press conference announcing the arrest of a suspect wanted from their jurisdiction on nine separate felony counts, ranging from residential burglary to attempted rape. The crimes were committed in July and early August 2016, and had segments of Los Angeles on edge. The suspect was dubbed the “Virgin Mary Bandit” by LAPD as a result of his t-shirt (depicting a photo of the Virgin Mary) worn during the commission of the burglaries. Some of you may have seen a recent press conference this past Tuesday (8/16) from LAPD asking for the public’s assistance with the identification of the suspect. On Aug. 6, at about 3 p.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to the 1800 block of East Mountain Street regarding a suspicious person investigation.

The subject was knocking on doors/looking into windows in the neighborhood.

On arrival, PPD officers saw the suspect; however, he immediately fled. The suspect was later located in the same block with a broken leg, apparently suffered when he was evading the PPD officers. The suspect was taken to the hospital for medical treatment and was found to have an outstanding felony warrant out of New York (Parolee at Large and residential burglary). The suspect was issued a citation by our agency for resisting/ evading, trespassing, and relinquished to the custody of US Marshall’s Office. At the time of this incident, LAPD detectives had not yet identified the “Virgin Mary Bandit.”

As a result of LAPD’s press conference on Aug. 16, their detectives received a tip that the Virgin Mary Bandit could be Russell William Harris, male, Black, 34 (Santa Clarita resident). LAPD detectives subsequently discovered Harris had been in custody in the Los Angeles County Jail awaiting extradition to New York. While our officers did not assist in the investigation of the Virgin Mary Bandit crime spree, they were tenacious enough to investigate the initial suspicious person call on East Mountain Street, which ultimately assisted in the arrest of Harris. Great work by the LAPD, US Marshalls, and PPD. Aug. 19

At 6:03 p.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to the 100 block of Painter Street regarding a “shots fired” investigation. On arrival, officers talked with

nearby residents who said a group of people were in the parking lot area when a black vehicle drove near them and fired several shots. Despite the officer’s attempts to locate the shooting victims, no one came forward during the investigation. PPD officers recovered some evidence at the scene indicating a shooting had occurred.

At approximately 7:47 p.m., an officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the area of Baldwin Avenue and Fairview Avenue for having expired registration.

An investigation revealed the driver was driving with a suspended license and both the driver and passenger had outstanding warrants for their arrests. They were also in possession of over $3,000 worth of stolen merchandise. The 55-yearold female from San Jose and the 55-year-old male from San Francisco were arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking.

ARCADIA

Aug. 16 At about 4:36 p.m., officers responded to the area of Hugo Reid Avenue and Cabrillo Avenue regarding a subject attempting to open doors of parked vehicles. The officer contacted the subject sitting inside a parked vehicle that did not belong to him. The subject was also in possession of stolen property.

The 21-year-old male from Pasadena was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking.

Around 7:13 p.m., an officer contacted a male subject lying on the grass on the west side of the Arcadia Public Library, 20 W. Duarte Road. An investigation revealed the subject had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. A consensual search of the subject’s backpack revealed drug paraphernalia and stolen mail.

The 29-year-old male from Ontario was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking.

Aug. 18

At about 7:20 a.m., an officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the area of Baldwin Avenue and Naomi Avenue for missing license plates. An investigation revealed the driver had two outstanding warrants

for his arrest and he was in possession of marijuana and stolen debit cards.

The 19-year-old male from Fontana was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking.

Shortly after 8:04 p.m., an officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a bicyclist in the area of Live Oak Avenue and Sixth Avenue for riding on the sidewalk and equipment violations.

The bicyclist dropped his bicycle and fled northbound on Sixth Avenue on foot.

Officers detained the subject and an investigation revealed the subject was in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. The 39-year-old from Ontario was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking.

Aug. 19

Just before 2:45 p.m., officers responded to a residence on the 1500 block of Mayflower Avenue regarding the report of a subject seen entering the rear of a vacant residence. The suspect was located and an investigation revealed he had removed a key box and door knob from the residence.

Window screens were found torn with pry marks.

The suspect was in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

The 30-year-old male from Arcadia was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking.

Aug. 20

At about 12:54 p.m., an officer responded to Victoria’s Secret, 400 S. Baldwin Ave., regarding a theft report. A loss prevention specialist witnessed the suspect conceal numerous items in her tote bag before exiting the store, failing to make payment. Further investigation revealed the suspect had also stolen merchandise from Aeropostale. The 24-year-old female from Compton was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking.

Just after 2:53 p.m., officers responded to the parking lot of Westfield Santa Anita, 400 S. Baldwin Ave., regarding the report of vandalism to a vehicle. An investigation revealed the victim returned to his vehicle to find that an unknown suspect scratched his vehicle by unknown means along the passenger side.

No suspects were seen and no witnesses were located.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale 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.

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.

However, God has another talent that still remains a mystery: I'm referring to the one that nearly all parents, priests, and ministers tell young children - that God sees everything.

Thus as a little kid, whenever I went to do my pee-pee and my poo-poo, I felt embarrassed because God was watching me. And later, when I became a young man and married, I felt embarrassed again because he was watching me and my bride do what young couples do.

So Dorothy, in one of your future columns, please enlighten us as to why God is there to witness what should really be our own private business.

Reader Comments on ‘Council May Support Bradbury Annexation’ (8/11/16 Issue)

I am opposed to letting Bradbury annex the properties. These properties could generate revenue in perpetuity for Monrovia and no formula for pass through compensation can take into account potential great jumps in property tax

revenue if the property is sold or newly constructed homes are built. Additionally as was mentioned in the council discussion, keeping the property under Monrovia’s control allows us to keep control of zoning in an area very near a Monrovia residential zone (directly across the street). I see only detrimental things and no benefit for Monrovia in allowing Bradbury to take our land.

Response to ‘Latino Voice Questions Monrovia Election … ’ MALDEF’s position requires several assumptions.

First, it presumes that none of the current city council members are the “candidate of choice” for a majority of Monrovia Latinos. Second, it presumes that a majority of Latinos in Monrovia feel that they can only receive adequate representation from a Latino candidate.

I, for one, would be interested to hear MALDEF explain why they believe the ability of a representative to represent their community is based upon their race or ethnicity. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I was brought up with values that taught me that people’s abilities are not due to their race or ethnicity.

The idea that being a member of a certain race or ethnicity made you better at something was the domain of white supremacists and Nazis.

Some interesting questions to have MALDEF answer might be:

1. What is the basis of the presumption that none of the current or past city council were the “candidate of choice” for a majority of Latino residents in Monrovia?

2. What is the basis of the presumption that a Latino is better able to provide representation to Latino residents than a non-Latino?

3. What is the basis of the presumption that Monrovia Latinos have not received adequate representation in the City of Monrovia?

The primary function of government is to protect its citizens and the principles of representative government from hostile forces, both foreign and domestic. By attempting to force the City of Monrovia to judge the outcome of free elections by the race or ethnicity of the candidates, MALDEF is seeking to turn the very principles of representative government on its ear. If MALDEF wants to litigate the matter, the above questions will have to be addressed with evidence and facts rather than speculation. I hope the City of Monrovia will ask these questions of MALDEF, and if

eter Alexander’s “Sculpture 1966 – 2016: A Career Survey” is on exhibit through Sept. 2 at the Parrasch Heijnen Gallery (1326 A. Boyle Ave., Los Angeles).

For more information, visit www.parrasch-heijnen. com/current or call (323) 943-9373. Exhibit is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

There are over 20 sculptures dating back to the 1960s on display, including a number of the early works done in the once toxic cast polyester resin.

Many of the older pieces are on loan from museums and collectors, so good luck getting your hands on one of those. However, there are a number of new and exciting works being shown.

The gallery entry room houses three of the Alexander’s very thin, tall, and transparent eight-foot high wedges (that I pray are cemented to the floor); they seem to sway as I walked around them. Continuing, you enter the larger main gallery and see a glowing candy red glossy “Big Red Puff” across the room.

The 58 inch by 59 inch work radiates energy and appears to float effortlessly on the wall, attached only by an invisible cleat clinging to the reverse side. It seems it could fall right off with a slight bump or gust of wind, shattering into a million pieces; the edges are razor thin, becoming translucent at the perimeter. I’m really tempted to touch the glossy liquid-like surface when no one is looking, but probably shouldn’t!

There are numerous other heavier wedges in every color, shape, size, and density on several raised platforms in the main space but I’m engrossed by a group of six muted color bars hanging together qui-

etly against the white wall; they are screwing up my vision! The grey bar in the cluster will not come into focus despite my repeated efforts to adjust or squint my eyes. This is the exact same phenomenon that caused me to wonder if I was having a stroke when I was first saw Alexander’s memorizing “Waterfruit” painting series a number of years ago. Somehow he once again figures out what colors combinations and distance between the bars creates disturbances of the optic nerves. Not only is the grey bar irritating me but I really want to re-arrange the color bars on the left hand side as well. Alexander has intentionally placed three dark colors right next to each other to further push you out of your comfort zone. Make sure you have an eye plan along with your health insurance if you take this one home.

The most alluring of the resins from the 1960s are the small cubes with additional cubes or spheres of differing colors suspended inside them. The “Pink Blue Cube” from 1967 is a perfect example, the interior cube seems to float in the center of the surrounding square (no idea how he pulled that off). The top and side edges are easy to detect, however, the bottom seems indistinguishable unless one bends down to eye level and stares a bit.

Although it’s a bit of a schlep to downtown LA (I hate the 110!), it is certainly worthwhile. After the Alexander exhibit make sure you head over to the “Arts District” and check out the new Hauser Wirth & Schimmel Gallery located at 901 East Third St. in Los Angeles. For more information, visit www.hauserwirthschimmel.com.

The gallery focuses on

contemporary and modern masters. The massive space includes multiple galleries (entire buildings), an “Artbook” store, Book & Printed Matter Lab, and the restaurant Manuela is opening soon. There is also a large, open-air courtyard to relax and view sculptures within.

There is tons of development going on around the complex, including restaurants, additional galleries, housing, and retail.

Other opportunities: Museum of Neon Art - the museum houses a collection of classic neon signs from LA landmarks, including the soon-to-be-revealed Brown Derby sign from the restaurant, a re-creation of the Diver sign from the Virginia Court Motel, The El Gordo Mexican Restaurant sign, and a large Winchell’s Donut House sign, to name a few. The museum offers an introductory eight-week course in neon sign sculpture starting in August where you can create your own sign. There is also Neon Cruise – a nighttime bus tour of neon signs, movie

ANW Presents ‘Arcadia’

by Tom Stoppard Symposium by Caltech’s Dr. Julia R. Greer on Sept. 7 A Noise Within (ANW), the acclaimed classical repertory theatre, presents the first production in their 25th Anniversary Season, Tom Stoppard’s 1993 play “Arcadia,” directed by Geoff Elliott, from Sunday, Sept. 4 through Sunday, Nov. 20.

The company previously performed “Arcadia” as part of its reading series, “Words Within,” in January 2016.

On Wednesday, Sept.

7 at 6 p.m., Dr. Julia Greer, professor of materials, science, and mechanics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), known for popularizing science for the less scientificallyinclined, leads a fun and engaging talk prior to the performance. Focused on demystifying the play’s scientific themes, Greer will uncover the relatability of the play’s scientific references, like Fermat's last theorem (1637), iterative algorithms, Chaos Theory, and the second law of thermodynamics.

Director Geoff Elliott says, “‘Arcadia’ is a carefully constructed and brilliantlycrafted play. Every time I read it, just like chaos theory itself, something new occurs for me. In an extraordinary way, Stoppard has seamlessly woven complex scientific ideas into the heart of the play.”

“This play beautifully illustrates the intersection between science and art,” Elliott continues, “It’s funny, clever, and this production really examines the incredible sexuality bubbling beneath the surface of all the characters, past and present.”

“Arcadia,” which con-

cerns the relationship between past and present, order and disorder, and certainty and uncertainty, is set in Sidley Park, an English country house in Derbyshire, and takes place in both 1809 to 1812 and the present day. The activities of two modern scholars and the house's current residents are juxtaposed with those of the people who lived there in the earlier period – Thomasina Coverly, the daughter of the house, is a precocious teenager with ideas about mathematics, nature, and physics, well ahead of her time. She studies with her tutor Septimus Hodge, a friend of Lord Byron (an unseen guest in the house).

In the present, writer Hannah Jarvis and literature professor Bernard Nightingale converge on the house: she is investigating a hermit who once lived on the grounds; he is researching a mysterious chapter in the life of Lord Byron. As their studies unfold and eventually overlap – with the help of Valentine Coverly, a postgraduate student in mathematical biology – the truth about what happened in Thomasina's time is gradually revealed.

Elliott says, “Even the play’s construction mimics laws of thermodynamics: as it progresses, the length of the scenes get shorter and shorter until they converge in the final act, similar to the way energy waves behave.”

Many critics have praised “Arcadia” as the finest play from one of the most significant contemporary playwrights in the English language. In 2006, the Royal Institution of Great

Britain named it one of the best science-related works ever written.

Greer says, “People have been extensively exploring the concepts of entropy and the second law of thermodynamics since they were first introduced. Within all the laws of physics – the law that entropy always increases, which is the main tenet in the second law of thermodynamics – holds a prominent place – much because of its universality and implications to just about any physical process.”

She continues, “The intriguing mystery is ‘how does the second law of ever-increasing entropy in physics apply to the human world, where emotions and intellect not only perceive things, but also interact with the physical world?’

One could infer that the main scientific aspect of ‘Arcadia’ is chaos and a lack of order, or entropy. The overall structure of the play, the development of each character, and Thomasina’s discovery of both science and her own self, as she grows up all demonstrate the intersection of art and science in its purest form. The play suggests that as long as we keep on asking questions, we will never run out of entropy.”

Single ticket prices for “Arcadia” start at $44.

Contact the ANW box office in person, via phone at (626) 356-3100, or online at www.ANoiseWithin.org for updated pricing and seat availability. A Noise Within is located on the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Sierra Madre Villa Avenue at 3352 East Foothill Blvd. in Pasadena.

Arbor Exchange

I

By Gus Herrera

t’s a good thing that Josh Jackson became bored with his previous job, which kept him sitting in front of a computer for most of the day. It’s also a good thing that Jackson read Matthew Crawford’s “Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work.” Without these prerequisites, the Arbor Exchange, Pasadena’s number one studio for locally-sourced, affordable, heirloom-quality furniture would never have come to fruition.

Jackson moved to Pasadena with his wife in 2005 - five years and one epiphany later, Jackson and a close friend co-founded the furniture design workshop, to be known as Arbor Exchange.

An entrepreneur, seemingly fed up with the stagnant office lifestyle, Jackson found inspiration in the “Shop Class as Soulcraft,” a motorcycle mechanic’s philosophical discourses, which emphasize the hidden beauty, complexity, challenges, and pleasures of working with one’s hands.

“I was totally shaped by that book - it got me out of my computer days and into the shop,” reveals Jackson. “It changed my whole paradigm to see manual work as this beautiful

Although Jackson says he enjoys building dining tables the most, Arbor Exchange can change the dynamic of just about any room in your house with an heirloom-quality piece. - Courtesy photo

work that involved art and actually was just as complex and complicated, and required a lot of intellect in the same way that a white-collar job would.”

Armed with newfound inspiration, Jackson’s next step was to sharpen his existing skills/knowledge he accrued spending countless hours building with his grandfather, a carpenter by trade. He travelled to Northern California to learn under woodworking instructor and master craftsman David Marks, known for his television show “Woodworks.”

In 2012 Jackson finally quit his office job, successfully trading in his desk and computer for power tools and

workbench. Since then, Arbor Exchange has effectively filled the vast gap between IKEA and pricier furniture establishments. “We launched Arbor with the goal of making really good quality furniture but at a better price than the big guns out there who have to include retail space and tons of overhead into the price … we hardly have any high-end clients – most of them are young families, middle-income who just want to have a really beautiful table or bed that they can call their best piece of furniture. This is who I want to work for,” says Jackson.

Arbor Exchange’s character can be boiled down

into two points of emphasis: sustainability and heirloomquality.

Every piece of wood is hand-picked locally and all slabs are sourced from naturally-fallen or diseased trees that would otherwise be chopped down into firewood. As far as dimensional wood goes, Jackson frequents a downtown LA lumber yard, meticulously curating his wood selection, “I’ll sit there for half a day and hand-pick every single board that goes into a project.”

Jackson uses strictly domestic wood from sustainably-harvested forests. He avoids anything exotic/tropi-

cal that he is not 100 percent of sure where it came from or how the trees came down.

Arbor Exchange also uses reclaimed wood, all from LA County - using reclaimed wood, most of which is salvaged from old buildings, breathes new life into wood that would otherwise end up contributing to landfills. Even the metal is locally-sourced at Arbor Exchange, Jackson has a go-to fabricator right here in Pasadena.

With a vast selection of woods to choose from, a customer’s piece is only limited by their creativity and the space their residence allows.

The result: almost every piece Arbor Exchange produces is inherently unique. Furthermore, Jackson loves the collaboration aspect of his trade, “that’s what makes what we do so fun – we’re actually collaborating with the client to design something that fits not only their aesthetic but their space.”

The attention-to-detail and level of thought that goes into the acquisition of Arbor Exchange’s raw materials carries over to the high-quality

Jackson maintains in the execution of his design and constructions, “The number one part of my business is building something that is going to last forever. We build stuff to last … a lot of work, experience, and time is required to get it done right, but certainly the most important part of the job is getting stuff out of my studio that is not only beautiful, but lasts a long time.”

Jackson reveals that his business is more or less split 50/50 between residential and retail/commercial clients.

You can see Arbor Exchange’s work in local spots such as Old Town’s King’s Row Gastropub and Café 86, or more famous destinations, such as Disneyland.

For the individual customer, Arbor Exchange can furnish just about every room in your home. For the bedroom: bed frames, headboards, and side tables. For the living room/office: coffee tables, bookshelves, case goods, desks, and more. Last, but certainly not least, Arbor Exchange makes beautiful, one-of-a-kind tables (dining and conference).

When asked what his favorite item to build is, Jackson was quick to respond: “My absolute favorite thing to build is a dining table for a family. I have three kids, a young family, and it’s true, the dining table is totally the centerpiece of the house … it’s where the family gathers on a daily basis - for homework, for meals. To provide a family with a beautiful piece of wood that they’re literally going to have, hopefully, for the rest of their lives … there’s nothing better than that.”

What Carrageenan Is and Why It’s Good for You We’ve come a long way in recent years to lead healthier lives, with yoga studios and juice bars seemingly on every corner and even fast food restaurants promoting healthier choices. Convenience has been key in maintaining these new priorities - often, if it’s not easy to do, we abandon it quickly (likely the reason so many New Year’s resolutions don’t stick). But many health improvements in the foods and beverages we regularly enjoy have not only made it possible, but also easy to achieve a balanced and wholesome diet.

Removing unhealthy fats, sugar, and salt from foods and drinks is an established trend. Swapping those additives for ingredients such as carrageenan, a soluble fiber sourced from red seaweed, has made it possible to deliver healthy foods without sacrificing indulgence.

That fat-free pudding can still be creamy and delicious thanks to naturally derived ingredients like carrageenan, allowing the

Arroyo Pacific Academy

treat in your child’s brown bag lunch to be healthier without him or her even noticing.

Adding vitamins and nutrients to popular products is making convenience even healthier - like tasty dairy beverages packed with protein for meals on the go or ready-made infant formula enriched with Omega-3 DHA for healthy development. Again, naturally derived ingredients help to maintain product integrity - taste, texture, and palatability - while withstanding the essential processes that make these types of products healthy, shelf-stable, and safe.

Vitamin supplements have also been growing in popularity as more is discovered about the value of different nutrients. In particular, Omega-3 supplements are becoming a staple for families that want the health benefits of seafood but can’t get it on a regular basis, either due to cost or availability. We’re now starting to see more diversity in Omega-3 supplements, including target-

ed concentration offerings specific to certain health concerns such as healthy aging, mood, and cognition, as well as emerging areas like inflammatory conditions. Capsules themselves are becoming more convenient through increasing concentrations that make them smaller and easier to take. And by taking a page from nutrition’s evolution, carrageenan is being used to produce vegetarian-based capsules, making these compatible with vegan, halal, and kosher requirements.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle isn’t always convenient or easy, but we’ve taken the steps to make wholesome nutrition readily and widely available, and the progress we’ve made will only advance through continued research, science, and a commitment to feeding the growing world.

to sleep under its sheltered portico. And in the council chambers they are giving away land valued at millions to a developer interested in housing upscale tourists.”

“The Chamber supported the approval of the Kimpton Hotel in the Civic Center. We feel that is the best option for preserving the Julia Morgan YWCA building and enhancing the economic viability of our downtown,” said Paul Little, executive director of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce.

According to Little, Pasadena has six full-service hotels (Langham, Westin, Sheraton, Hilton, Courtyard, and Constance). The Residence Inn is close to that, but not full-service.

There are about eight or nine motels in the city limits and another three or four just east of us in the unincorporated area.

A quick Google search located at least 30 places in or very near the City of Pasadena where one can rest and recuperate after a long day at the convention center.

According to Little, there are currently about 2,650 rooms, including the new Residence Inn that just opened.

Another question pops into the equation, that of un-

ionization. Only one hotel, The Hilton, is unionized. The developers of the Kimpton Hotel feel it’s not in their best interest for them to accept unions.

By the numbers, here’s a list of properties under construction (this is for new housing being built in Pasadena, “affordable units” listed in parenthesis): Apartments: - 3330 Foothill Blvd. – 212 units (25).

- 1765 E. Walnut St. – 18 units; 1769 E. Walnut – 113 units (10).

- 75 W. Walnut St. – 201 units (30).

- 678 E. Walnut St. – 82 units; 177 N. Hudson – 91 units (23 off-site at 168 N. Wilson Ave.).

- 686 E. Union St. – 118 units (11).

- 218 S. Oakland Ave. – 21 units (2).

- 205–209 S. El Molino Ave. – 6 units (0).

- 60 S. Vinedo Ave. – 26 units (3).

- 762 N. Fair Oaks Ave. – 70 units (69).

- 143 Mar Vista Ave. – 20 units (19).

Also, the rehabilitation of The Groves is in progress, which is expected to be completed later this year. The Groves is a 44-unit, all-affordable rental housing project on

two sites (700 E. Mountain St. and 695 N. Raymond Ave.).

This is a rehabilitation project, however, not “new” construction.

Condominiums: - 2428 Del Mar Blvd. – 17 units (1).

- 106 E. Orange Grove Blvd. – 21 units (21).

- 125 Hurlbut St. – 25 units (2).

- 177 E. Del Mar Blvd. – 17 units (2).

- 188 S. Sierra Madre Blvd. – 13 units (0).

- 328–382 W. Green St. – 78 units; 192 S. Orange Grove Blvd. – 6 units; 196 S. Orange Grove Blvd. – 9 units; and 108–112 S. Orange Grove Blvd. – 19 units (12 off-site at 104 E. Orange Grove Blvd.).

According to Pasadena Public Information Officer William Boyer, “ … as for affordable, we have our own requirements, mostly based on what state housing mandates … plus local requirements … these generally have nothing to do with [the] Fed’s HOME or other programs ... just because the Feds have a program, does not automatically mean we can use it … many times there are so many hoops to jump through and qualifying criteria, etc., that does not always mean we use them.”

According to the United States Department Housing and Urban Development (HUD), “Families who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing are considered cost-burdened and may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation, and medical care. An estimated 12 million renter and homeowner households now pay more than 50 percent of their

annual incomes for housing.

A family with one full-time worker earning the minimum wage cannot afford the local fair-market rent for a twobedroom apartment anywhere in the United States.”

Within the Office of Community Planning and Development, the Office of Affordable Housing Programs (OAHP) administers the following grant programs designed to increase the stock of housing affordable to lowincome households: - The HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME) provides grants to states and local governments to fund a wide range of activities, including: building, buying, and/or rehabilitating housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income families. It is the largest Federal Block Grant Program for state and local governments, designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households.

- The National Housing Trust Fund (HTF) supports the acquisition, new construction, or reconstruction of rental units for extremely low-income families or families with incomes below the poverty line, whichever is greater.

‘Shop With a Cop’ Twenty youth from the Pasadena Boys & Girls Club will be partnered with Pasadena Police Officers for “Shop with a Cop” at Target (777 E. Colorado Blvd.) on Friday, Aug. 26 at 4 p.m.

Gift cards for kids in the amount of $100 will be purchased and given to 20 young people. The kids, most from economicallychallenged environments, will be accompanied with a uniformed Pasadena Police Officers as they spend time shopping for back-to-school clothes and supplies.

This program helps kids be confident and prepared as they return to school. It also forms longlasting relationships between the community and police.

The real heroes to this story are the members of the Pasadena Rotary Club, who partnered with Target and committed $2,000 dollars for this program. Target Corporation has been a longtime supporter of the “Shop with a Cop” initiative and other non-profit youth programs in Pasadena and nationwide.

DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint This Weekend

on the matter in the Los Angeles Superior Court scheduled for Sept. 8, Park released the following statement: “I am proud of my opposition to Donald Trump and I hope that Kathryn Barger understands the importance of candidates, officeholders, and other public figures coming out publicly against his divisive and hateful rhetoric.

My candidate statement went through a thorough review process and was approved two weeks ago by the registrar’s office. Furthermore, I used what was largely the same candidate statement in the June Primary Election and neither Barger nor any of my other six opponents took issue with it. This action by Barger’s campaign is nothing more than a political stunt, which aims to waste taxpayer money and bleed resources from our grassroots campaign.”

Darrell Park served two presidents in the White House Office of Management and Budget. Since moving to Los Angeles County over a decade ago, he has divided his time between helping clean energy start-up companies, teaching, and writing.

Pasadena Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/driver’s license checkpoint on Friday at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 7 p.m. and 3 a.m.

The deterrent effect of DUI checkpoints is a proven resource in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug involved crashes. Research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up to 20 percent when well-publicized DUI checkpoints and proactive DUI patrols are conducted routinely. DUI Checkpoints are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests, affording the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence.

Locations are chosen with safety considerations for the officers and the public.

Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment with officers checking drivers for proper licensing delaying motorists only momentarily. When possible, specially-trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of drug-im-

paired driving, which now accounts for a growing number of impaired driving crashes.

Recent statistics reveal that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems. A study of active drivers showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent). Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at 7.4 percent, slightly more than alcohol. Everyone should be mindful that if you’re taking medication – whether prescription or over-the-counter – drinking even small amounts of alcohol can greatly intensify the impairment affects.

Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, other expenses that can exceed $10,000, not to mention the embarrassment when friends and family find out.

Funding for this checkpoint is provided to Pasadena Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reminding everyone to “Report Drunk Drivers – Call 911.”

A dozen students from Duarte High spent much of their summer participating in a research project at City of Hope (COH) that helped produce authentic results for the scientists working to gain a better understanding of cancer.

The students were part of a City of Hope program for the Science Education Partnership Award Collaborative (SEPA) which completed the fifth and final year of its cycle, with impressive results for the students.

"High school students from Duarte got experience working in the lab under the direction of research scientists," said Marisa Bowers, program coordinator for SEPA in the cancer biology department of City of Hope.

"These are highly motivated students who got a chance to do research work not normally introduced to students until college. They were participating in authentic research."

The program began in the summer of 2012 and has now covered five sessions, with 12 to 24 students working alongside the research scientists each year on a project based on DNA repair mechanisms and how cells can repair mistakes, explained Bowers.

education Duarte Students Produce City of Hope Research

august 25, 2016 - august 31, 2016 | 17

The program allows students to engage in real-life scenarios that are meant to develop their skill sets and hopefully motivate them to pursue science-related careers.

The students from Duarte were under the direction of biology teacher Jeff Radsick and were committed to work two days a week for three hours a session for the eight-week program. At the end of the program, the students presented their findings in a group culmination and shared their efforts with faculty, families, DUSD, and COH administrators in a culmination program on Aug. 11.

"We take high school students who come in with a certain skill set and give them an opportunity to leave with a higher set of skills and hopefully motivate them to pursue science or other related careers," said Radsick.

The 12 students from Duarte who attended this summer are all juniors and seniors. They are: Sarah Bouza, Ashley Castaneda, Bianca Delgadillo, Marianna Delgado, Danica Espinosa, Eli Faliti, Tiffany Hui, Sabrina Juarez, Leslyn Kiara, Lindsay Lathrop, Lisette Leon, and Palak Malak.

The SEPA Summer Research Program is taught by City of Hope staff scientists Glenn Manthey and Radsick, and each of the students worked in various labs with additional scientists on the City of Hope campus.

The project, which began with the summer of 2012 group, and has continued each summer, involves exper-

iments with yeast and DNA as they relate to a cancer tumor and the DNA’s ability to repair. "This research is essential to the understanding of cancer," said Radsick. "We looked at various mutants and sequencing strains. The students helped produce data that will be of value to the professional research staff."

Bowers explained the origination of the research project.

"Glenn Manthey runs a lab that uses yeast in breast cancer research," she said.

"Yeast grows fast and is a common model organism for studying basic biology. How the proteins react to one another with the DNA repair

mechanism is what we are studying."

And the scientists and teachers were learning, along with the students.

Radsick said the difference between the City of Hope summer program and his work with students on the Duarte High campus produced "a huge learning experience for me. I’m used to practicing in labs with high school students and the labs have predictable and expected results, demonstrating a core principle. These are experiments that have never been done before and we were looking at some interesting results. This translates into real-life scenarios that I can translate into the class-

room."

The City of Hope has long been a partner with Duarte Unified School District, offering programs to spark the scientific interest of students. The summer research program and a year-long program during the school year are geared to those who have identified science as a viable educational and career path.

Other programs include field trips for second, fifth, and eighth grade students.

There is also a Girls Only STEM after school science club at Andres Duarte Elementary School and additional Saturday Science Days on the City of Hope campus.

The summer research program was funded by a five-year, $1.3-million grant from the National Institutes of Health. Bowers said the goal is to find grant funding going forward because "we want to keep working with the students. Our evaluation team is doing a longitudinal study to learn what the students are doing with their interest in science."

Given the chance to do authentic research in the labs of the internationally renowned City of Hope, many of these Duarte students will likely be pursuing science majors in college in the years to come.

monthly highlight Why Charter Schools Are Gaining Popularity

BeaconMediaNews.com

By Mary Mcnulty

T

he wait list for California Charter Schools continues to grow year by year.

Looking back to 2013-2014, there were a total of 311 charter schools in LA County. The following year, the number increased to 325.

Each charter school, back in 2013-2014, had a wait list of 121 students. The following year the number increased to 153 students. The total number on the 2013-2014 wait list was 37,000. The following year it increased to 49,840. The statewide wait list is 158,000, which means LA County accounts for almost one-third of the students.

"Evidence over the past five years argues that the public has never been more supportive of charter public schools than they are right now, based on increasingly high parent demand, growth in charter school enrollment, and statewide polling data," said Jed Wallace, president and CEO of the California Charter Schools Association (CCSA). "This growth in support has occurred during a period when charter public schools have strengthened their performance, especially with historically underserved students."

Charter schools do require a commitment on the family’s part, as the academic calendar is extended. All charter students receive an additional 73 days in math and five in English than their counterparts. Latinos living in poverty receive 115 additional days in math and 58 days in English.

The time appears to be reaping benefits.

The numbers speak for themselves. Statistics show tremendous strides being made by traditionally disadvantaged groups, especially

Charter schools do require a commitment on the family’s part, as the academic calendar is extended.

in the area of college preparedness. Charter schools enroll only 19 percent of LA high school students, yet they deliver 37 percent of LA’s college-ready graduates.

In 2012-2013 the 61,000 Latinos made up 72 percent of the charter student population. When compared with their counterparts in traditional schools, the API scores were 27 points higher and 18 points higher for English learners.

African Americans found the same success - four year graduation rates for African American charter students is 75 percent, compared with 61 percent from traditional schools.

Not only is the graduation rate higher, but the caliber of classes is much greater. In LA County, only 14 percent of African Americans graduate from traditional high schools prepared for college. The number increases to an amazing 73 percent of the AfricanAmerican charter enrollees.

In LAUSD, the graduation rate varies widely from 52 percent to 85 percent, dependent upon socio-economic conditions. One of the most interesting discoveries is that the achievement gap becomes almost non-existent in the world of charter schools. The graduation rate for Asian and Black charter students vary only from 79 percent to 75 percent.

If there is one issue with the charter school system, it is the lack of oversight. Unlike the traditional school district, there is no requirement for transparency, including finances.

“Charters don’t have to disclose budgets,” says Jackie Goldberg, a long-time Los Angeles school teacher and former Los Angeles Unified School District board president, who also served in the California State Assembly.

“Once a charter is written, it’s not subject to the Brown or the Public Records acts.”

There is little debate that the educational system, whether it be LA County or LAUSD, needs reform. Charter schools have met with documented success in student achievement. There is no category in which the traditional structure outscored the charter school. Providing families access to a wide range of educational opportunities is critical for LA’s success. There are a wide variety of schools available - not only charter each requiring its own application.

If you feel as if your family would benefit from enrollment, research the schools and application processes.

Opinion: Creating Solutions to Homelessness in Monrovia That Work

The K-9s Need Our Support

I

'm going to use Dorothy's Place this week to give a boost to the Arcadia Police Foundation (APF) of which I am one of the founding directors.

The APF was founded in late 2015 for the purpose of raising funds to support special programs, projects, and activities of the Arcadia Police Department.

The first project of the Foundation is to create and maintain an Arcadia Police K-9 Unit. A trained K-9 can make a huge difference in Arcadia's law enforcement efforts.

In addition to the approximately $10,000 purchase price of the dog, the K-9s and their handlers require extensive and expensive specialized training.

There is also a need for special equipment such as collars, K-9 ballistic vests,

etc. Specialized vehicle equipment upgrades including rear seat modification, a heat alarm, and cooling system are also required. Some veterinary costs are pre-determined, others can vary.

The total cost of launching the K-9 unit with one dog is expected to be $50,000. Once established, the goal is to acquire a second dog and to maintain the financial support of both units.

The K-9 units will be funded primarily by the Foundation. The Foundation will be funded solely through donations.

You, my dear readers, have an opportunity to be one of the donors. Since the Foundation is a 501(c)(3), your donation is tax deductible. Contribution levels begin with the $5 to $100 Contributor Level and continue

upward to the Benefactor Level of $25,000 or more.

Donors will be recognized in various manners, according to their level of contribution.

Won't you be proud to be a civic-minded supporter of this very worthwhile project?

You can start by making out a check to "Arcadia Police Foundation" and mailing it to us at: Arcadia Police Foundation, 122 E. Foothill Blvd., Suite A #254, Arcadia, CA 91006.

If you have any questions or if you are interested in serving on the board or a committee to help raise funds, contact us by phone at (626) 574-5185 or via email at ArcadiaPoliceFoundation@ArcadiaCA.gov.

See you next week and thanks for reading Dorothy's Place.

“Your Voice, Your Community”

By Jaclyn Stemen and Melissa Tavera

M

onrovia locals understand that homelessness is not just a problem for neighboring cities anymore. If you have been to a park in the last few years, you have noticed the change and it only seems to be getting more prominent. For a city that boasts of their family friendliness in their weekly family street fair, summer concerts in the park, and community events that shut down the central Myrtle Avenue for just about any “holiday” you would count as a holiday, a homeless problem seems incongruent. Monrovia residents have spoken up.

In response to its citizens, the City of Monrovia increased security, both in its own police force and by calling community volunteers to participate in a neighborhood watch program, putting up signs in the parks to announce it. While it is logical to think this would help Monrovians feel safer, in reality, heightened security has highlighted the issue and justifies fear of the homeless, strengthening fear, rather than easing it.

The steps that Monrovia has taken so far, arguably, primarily consider the vantage point of non-homeless Monrovians, the ones with the biggest voices that call local government to action. When we consider the vantage point of homeless Monrovians, however, the plan feels adversarial and exclusive, and probably even a little scary. It reeks of “us-versusthem” and raises defensiveness in homeless individuals.

Defensiveness is not generally the way to stir change in people. People know their worth and rise to seize it when they are included in a community and

not when they are ostracized and closely watched in a way that feels like people are just waiting for them to do something wrong so that they can be lawfully taken away.

Monrovians, let’s implement real change! It is not as if we just want the problem to be swept under the rug or moved to a different city.

In order to really solve the problem and have a lasting effect, we need to engage the homeless as members of our community and help them engage better as community members. We need to help people rise to the challenge of living the lives that they are capable of living as contributing members of this city.

So what’s the answer?

A program in Huntington Beach has developed around the concept that the homeless need a hand-up and not just a hand-out. Officials in Huntington Beach connect strongly with the idea that people need the right kind of support in order to lift themselves out of their situation.

It cannot be done for them completely, but assistance is crucial. Homeless people are homeless for a variety of reasons, all of which are real and valid. Usually the despairing reasons for their homelessness are pervasive enough that challenges are difficult to

overcome without assistance from others.

The City of Huntington Beach is making headway with their homeless population by engaging the homeless community members in relationship with city officials equipped to help.

While Huntington Beach has a number of services available to the homeless, the issue has been that the homeless were not partaking in the services and therefore could not benefit from them.

Being informed of offerings was not enough. This reality drastically changed when Huntington Beach employed their first homeless liaison, a police officer whose job was and is specifically to work with the homeless population. They now have two.

These officers spend time with the homeless of Huntington Beach every day. Because they know these people as individuals, they know what services each person might need or be motivated by. The best news is that it has been effective. With time, exposure, relationships, and trust, they are getting people the help they need to get back on their feet and become contributing members of their community.

Much like Huntington Beach, the resources for homeless assistance exist in Monrovia and surrounding cities, but they are not being accessed. The missing piece is the community engagement - the relationship piece.

There is a need for someone willing and able help people plan the steps they need to take and follow through in helping them execute those steps. Can a program like the one we see in Huntington Beach work in Monrovia?

Why wouldn’t it? Then and only then can all Monrovians feel respected and safe in this great community that we have built.

John Rooks Services Are Set for Retired Fire Captain

John Rooks, who served on the Monrovia Fire Department for 29 years, passed way unexpectedly on Aug. 11 at home in La Habra. He was only 52 and had retired from the fire department in November of last year. He had come up through the ranks on the department and retired with the rank of captain.

As City Manager Oliver Chi wrote, “He loved our city, the Monrovia Fire Department, and the fire service, as he served with great passion and heart.”

Monrovia’s Interim Fire Chief Brad Dover said of Rooks, “John was dedicated to serving the community of Monrovia, but also to the fire community in general. He was committed to service in a larger sense as well. And no one will ever forget his amazing mustache.”

Battalion Chief Ron Pelham served with Rooks during his all his years of service with the Monrovia Fire Department. He has always referred to Rooks as his best friend. Of him, Pelham said, “John was a great husband and father to his family. He was a great loyal friend, who was always there to help anyone in need.

“He was an excellent cook, creating new barbeque sauces and rubs sharing them with anyone and everyone. He was an avid golfer - he enjoyed his time on the links with his friends. His personality was larger than life. If you met him you would always remember him.

“I will miss all of our shenanigans together throughout the past 30 years. I will especially miss our Friday golf days and John’s sharing his wisdom with my kids.

“It wasn’t just with my kids. He was a born teach-

John Rooks.

er. He cared about making certain the younger firefighters were prepared and ready for anything they might face. He was one of our best teachers.”

Pelham concluded his tribute to his pal saying, “John was my mentor, my friend. He was an outstanding human being who always put everyone else before himself.”

Services are set for this

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.

In order to be qualified to bid at the scheduled sale, or any postponement thereof, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $35,656.32 to the auctioneer conducting the sale in the form of certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD before the bidding is commenced. The successful bidder will be required to remit a total deposit in the form of certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD that equals 10% of the winning bid amount that must be presented to the auctioneer conducting the sale before the bidding is closed. The deposit by the winning bidder is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered as instructed by the auctioneer within 30 days of the completed sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check and be made out to the Secretary of HUD. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them by the auctioneer. The Secretary may grant the winning bidder an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be paid in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the discretion of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the trustor(s) or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written applica-

tion of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. To obtain information regarding reinstating the loan by paying the sums that are delinquent you should contact the Foreclosure Commissioner, Quality Loan Service Corp., at the address or phone number listed below.

Any and all payments that are required as set forth above and any Application for Cancellation of the Foreclosure Sale must be submitted to Quality Loan Service Corp. at the address set forth below.

WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable; NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary's designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on 06/18/2014 as Instrument No. 2014-0630515, notice is hereby given that on 09/01/2016, at 10:00AM local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises ("Property") will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST Commonly known as: 2187 BROACH AVENUE, DUARTE, CA 91010 The sale will be held at: Behind the fountain located in Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona CA The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $338,589.91. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $33,858.99 [10% of the Secretary's bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier's check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $33,858.99 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier's check. If the Secre-

tary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for a 15day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee will be in the form of a certified or cashier's check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier's check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $338,566.33 as of 08/31/2016, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner's attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement. Tender of payment by certified or cashier's check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

Five Things We Can Learn From Olympians

By Sarah Sneider What do Michael Phelps, the fantastic “Final Five” gymnasts, Katie Ledecky, Usain Bolt, Kerri Walsh-Jennings, Allyson Felix, and other great Olympi-

ans have in common?

NBC had around-theclock coverage of the Rio Olympics and there was so much to see with our modern technology. With all the many different venues and events, one could not see as

much being there in person, even though nothing compares with actually being there.

What can we learn from watching these amazing athletes? How can it make a difference in our life? Late

Coach Harry Sneider trained 20 athletes in nine different sports for the 1984 Olympics and was nominated Olympic Track and Field Coach. Training and coaching these Olympians in Pasadena at Ambassador College, it was evident they all have five similar character traits.

What do they all have in common?

1. They have a dream.

Some of the athletes from Rio expressed in interviews that they had dreamed of being in the Olympics and winning gold even at a very young age.

2. They have desire, focus, and preparation.

3. They have perseverance. They are willing to overcome and fight through any setbacks.

4. They have discipline.

They train consistently, eat healthy, and follow rigid schedules.

5. They have drive and determination. They don’t quit! “Winners never quit and quitters never win.”

Many Olympians mentioned that the support of their coaches, their family, and friends made all the difference. Ambassador College

Harry Sneider trains Olympic high jumper Dwight Stones in Pasadena.

in Pasadena closed in 1990 and many of the buildings of the former Ambassador College campus have been torn down and replaced with condos. In spite of the many changes to the former campus, ironically the gymnasium, Olympic-size swimming pool, racquetball courts, fitness center buildings, and track (now a football field) where the Olympians once trained still remain and are currently used by Maranatha High School.

The original dining

center where the Olympians enjoyed wonderful meals and the beautiful Ambassador Auditorium also still remain.

Whether we want to lose weight, have more energy, get stronger, stay healthy, or more, we can succeed by learning from these amazing Olympians. As Katie Kedecky, the great Olympic swimmer said in an interview from Rio, “Dream big, work hard, and big things can happen!” Go for it! You can do it!
