currently projected to be completed on time and on budget!

An overview of the progress we have made to date includes the following overview: - Sewer improvements are substantially complete.

- Sewer segment improvements on Shamrock Avenue and Monterey Avenue have been completed. This past week, the project contractor completed the necessary paving to repair the roadways. The project is expected to be complete by next week.

- The city’s contractor has begun replacing old and damaged water lines on Primrose Avenue, from Huntington Drive to Central Avenue. Work on Primrose Avenue is expected to be complete around Oct. 1 and, at that point in time, contractors will transition their work to Cypress Avenue, from Shamrock Avenue to Sherman Avenue. The streets will be closed to through traffic during the construction work, however, residents will be allowed access at all times.

In addition, street parking will be restricted between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., where construction is being performed. The city asks that everyone please abide by the “No Parking” signs, which will be posted 48 hours in advance of when the construction work will occur. Additionally, all impacted streets will be reopened for traffic at the end of each work day.

- Water service lines replacement project: the city’s contractor continues to make excellent progress on water service line replacements throughout the southwest and southeast project areas.

This initiative includes the replacement of more than 100 galvanized steel water service lines with new copper water pipes. It is anticipated that this portion of the project will be completed by Oct. 10.

- Sidewalk repairs by precision concrete cutting: precision concrete cutting continues to repair sidewalks by removing trip hazards and replace chipped sidewalk areas. The contractor started work in the southwest segment of the Monrovia Renewal project and they are working their way east.

When they are complete with the two initial sections, they will have made over 7,000 sidewalk repairs! This work is expected to take approximately six months and will conclude in February 2017.

- Street improvements project set to begin on Oct. 10: the construction work that will be most impactful for residents is related to the street improvements that will occur in the southwest and southeast project areas.

This past week, city personnel met with the street contractor to coordinate the scheduling and execution of the planned work, which is scheduled to begin the week of Oct. 10.

Mystery Donors Leave $10,000 in Cash at Pasadena Humane Society “Another mystery donor strikes!” the Pasadena Humane Society (PHS) said Tuesday on social media, reporting that just a week after staff discovered an anonymous $8,000 cash donation, a second cash gift was found in the donation bin.

Alerted by an anonymous caller, PHS staff found an envelope stuffed with $2,000 in cash and a note scrawled on a Starbucks nap-

kin: “Got the inspiration last week - please save the animals, for some of us it’s all we have left.”

Officials said they are “overjoyed by the generosity from the community.”

The money will be used to support the care for the 12,000 animals - dogs, cats, rabbits and many other types of creatures - the Humane Society takes in and cares for each year.

The donation and note left by the mystery donor earlier this week.

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.

For an explanation of your rights under this opinion please contact our office for a free consultation. Call us at (626) 584-7800

Letter to Editor: Regarding ‘Local Congresswoman Votes Against … ’ (9/22/16 Issue)

Dear Editor: Among Obama’s promises that attracted me to him was that if he became president, he’d waste no time closing down the Guantanamo Bay prison.

Well ... almost eight years later, I’m still waiting.

Incidentally, why doesn’t the government just call Guantanamo what it really is - a concentration camp?

The Sixth Amendment of our Constitution is not ambiguous: “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial ... “ Those great men who signed the Constitution placed their trust in posterity to respect the justice for all, which they formulated in that unprecedented instrument of law.

Yet, if they could see how today’s custodians of the Constitution have abdicated their civic duty, I’m sure they’d weep.

Backbeat Books Bass Guitar History Book Sets the Bar for Excellence Third Revised Edition of ‘The Bass Book’ Is Worth Its Weight in Gold

By Terry Miller I love it when USPS delivers a new book from Backbeat Books … I salivate, get a cup of tea, and open the package with the fervor of a young child on Christmas morning anticipating Santa’s choice would deliver, as expected.

Backbeat always delivers for me. They know their stuff - producing quality publications with unparalleled accuracy.

In the'50s, the Fender company introduced the world's first electric bass the ever-popular Precision.

The “P Bass” and the others that followed would help start a transformation in the sound of popular music.

This new third edition of “The Bass Book” explains how that growth happened and how its incredible popularity literally took the backbeat to a new level in just about every popular band from the 1960s through today.

As a drummer myself, I have always cherished a

great sounding bass - the power of the two instruments combined and how that combo can literally change the course of a song from an afterthought, to a number one hit that’ll resonate and live forever in the frontal lobes of those exposed to that powerful driving force. Think “My Girl” by the Temptations or “Everyday People”… man these lines stick to you like super glue.

What sets this book apart from the plethora of music instrument books is the passion and humor Tony Bacon infuses; not unlike a truly great bass line that’ll knock your socks off.

Bacon is a prodigy at keeping the reader interested, with quips to which only a true musician could relate.

The photos are … “drool worthy,” as one reviewer noted … with rare bass images combined with the more well-known, like McCartney’s famous Hofner and, of course, the Precision and Jazz bass models made

by Fender The bass guitar provided the solid foundation upon which much modern music is still built. “The Bass Book” is the first to study its story, with the full low-down of the most important bass players and bass makers.

Brands featured in the book include Alembic, Danelectro, Epiphone, Fender, Fodera, Gibson, Hofner, Ibanez, Lakland,

Pepe Romero, Master of the Guitar, to Perform Solo Recital in Pasadena Featuring an all-Spanish program, this is the first time in over 10 years that Maestro Romero has performed a full solo recital in Southern California.

Presented by the Los Angeles Sound Foundation, Pepe Romero’s concert will kick off the Guitarra del Mar Concert Series at the Pasadena Presbyterian Church with fire, flair, and guitar magic.

There are very few true living legends in the world of classical music, few who have sustained greatness and grown throughout their lives.

Pepe Romero is such an artist. He has been honored by kings, heads of state, and major institutions - the encomiums continue to pour in.

But to Romero, his most important contribution has been reaching the common man. He has communicated the richness and beauty of the classical guitar to millions of people throughout the world.

He has, indeed, become an ambassador of classical music, and, correspondingly, of the classical guitar.

“Orchestral power and vocal lyricism!” says the New York Times.

“Pepe Romero makes his guitar talk to itself,” says the Los Angeles Times.

Tickets are available at: lasoundfoundation.org.

Concert starts at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8 at the Pasadena Presbyterian Church, 585 E. Colorado Blvd.

The Leaders Who Make A Difference event will take place at Pasadena’s historic Castle Green. - Courtesy photo

Santa Anita Family Services Honor ‘Leaders Who Make A Difference’ Santa Anita Family Service (SAFS) will honor Supervisor Mike Antonovich and Jay Coleman on Oct. 6 at Pasadena’s Castle Green. The event starts at 6 p.m., with no-host cocktails and “heavy Hors d’oeuvres.”

Santa Anita Family Service is a not-for-profit agency providing mental health, social, and senior services to the surrounding San Gabriel Valley communities. We strive to achieve the absolute best possible outcome for each individual, family, or military veteran seeking

help in the areas of child abuse, drug and alcohol related problems, behavioral health problems, domestic violence, out of home foster placement of children, corrective educational experiences, and child enrichment activities.

Proceeds from the Leaders Who Make a Difference event will help provide counseling and services that are solution and outcome based. We believe our clients’ income level should not be a barrier for individuals and families who need

help coping with various stressors of day to day life, or unforeseen events, or preexisting physical or mental conditions.

Over 200 guests, including business and community leaders, city officials, and other key decision-makers will attend this event.

Cost is $125 per person.

Sponsorship opportunities are available.

colleges, charter schools, and vocational education institutions. City staff’s report also noted that the Pasadena Unified School District approved a resolution formally supporting Prop. 51.

- Proposition 54: approves passage of a bill that “would prohibit the Legislature from passing any bill unless it has been in print and published on the internet for at least 72 hours before the vote,” according to staff’s report. Additionally, the bill will require audiovisual recordings of all legislative proceedings (except closed sessions).

This bill is meant to increase transparency in state government affairs and hopefully stop the “practice of ‘gutting and amending’ legislation.”

- Proposition 56: increases the cigarette tax by $2. Although the predominant impetus behind the proposition is to deter smoking, according to Mayor Terry Tornek, the increase in state revenue, which is expected to be in the billions, will “be used primarily to augment spending on healthcare for low-income Californians.”

- Proposition 67: upholds the ban on single-use plastic bags. The proposition reaffirms the city’s ordinance, which already bans plastic

November Ballet bags.

Pasadena will formally oppose the following propositions: - Proposition 57: attempts to address overcrowding in jails by proposing more lenient parole procedures for non-violent offenders. According to staff’s report, the proposition will “essentially increase parole chances for felons convicted of non-violent and give them more opportunity to earn credits for good behavior.”

- Proposition 65: redirects funds collected by grocery/retail stores through sale of carryout bags to a “Wildlife Conservation Boardadministered fund.” Although the proposition appears to be pro-environment, city staff states that “it is meant to undermine support for Prop 65 and confuse voters. The proposition would only serve the interests of plastic bag companies … [It] is not about helping fund environmental programs but is simply intended to cause enough voter confusion that … Proposition 67, fails.”

With respects to the LA County Ballot Measures, the city supports the following: - LA County Traffic Improvement Plan (Measure “M”): authorizes one-half per-

cent sales tax increase to improve and expand infrastructure, hopefully creating jobs and improving transportation, traffic, and public safety.

Pasadena would be impacted directly via the extension of the Foothill Gold Line and a new “Orange/Red Line to Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit Connector … ” - Safe, Clean Neighborhood Parks and Beaches Measure of 2016 (Measure “A”): funding efforts that will allow the city the ability to fast-track/prioritize parks that need work.

There was a fairly evident consensus amongst the council, with respects to approval of the aforementioned propositions/measures. Approval of Prop. 54, Prop. 67, Measure M, and Measure A, in addition to the opposition of Prop. 65 were all approved without opposition as a single sweep motion.

Per the request of Council Member Tyron Hampton, Propositions 56 and 57 were addressed separately, as he personally held reservations towards both. Ultimately, city support for Prop. 56 and opposition towards Prop. 57 were both approved, with only Council Member Hampton voting against the former and abstaining from the latter.

education Beatrix Potter Inspires Preschool Workshop at The Huntington

Kids everywhere recog-

nize this long-eared mammal, in the blue jacket with brass buttons, being chased by the ornery Mr. McGregor. He is one of the many delightful animal characters created by Beatrix Potter.

To commemorate the sesquicentennial birth an-

BeaconMediaNews.com

niversary of Beatrix Potter, The Huntington held a series of preschool workshops this month through the institution’s Youth and Family Programs.

Through four two-hour morning sessions, Paisley Callow, artist and educator,

led a group of 3- to 5-yearolds around The Huntington gardens and immersed them in the make-believe world of Peter Rabbit, Jemima PuddleDuck, and friends.

Callow, herself an avid collector of Beatrix Potter memorabilia, says she pitched a few workshop ideas for preschoolers. She relates, “Every year growing up, my grandparents gave me a Beatrix Potter figurine for my birthdays and at Christmas. So when The Huntington asked me to do this theme class, I was excited to be able to integrate my collection in the lessons.

“We did scavenger hunts in the gardens, where children and their parents weaved around the various plants at The Huntington. We read ‘The Pie and the Patty Pan,’ and created our own mixed-media pies.

“In one session, we checked out the porcelain tea cups in The Huntington’s European Gallery; fashioned our own cups; and had a tea party for Beatrix Potter’s 150th birthday in the Rose Garden.

We read ‘Jeremy Fischer,’ a frog who fishes on a lily pad, then we crafted our own lilies and fish,” Callow expounds.

A graduate of UCLA’s School of Arts and Architecture, Callow will offer a Mini International Architects class for preschoolers and their parents in November.

She explains: “In this class, the kids will look at exhibits and gardens as they relate to architecture around the globe. They will build Saudi Arabian castles, Iceland ice hotels using Popsicle paint, and western skyscrapers with recyclables. They will learn the letters ‘I’ and ‘C’ when they study two Greek columns – Ionian and Corinthian. I incorporate literacy, math, and science in my preschool art classes.”

The preschool classes are an ongoing program at The Huntington. Julianne Johnston, senior coordinator

of youth and family programs and community engagement, says, “Because it is usually the children’s first experience at The Huntington, each series is designed to include stories, a visit to a garden or gallery, and a hands-on activity to reinforce the theme or lesson. Each day in the series is centered on early education and discovery-based learning to develop both their motor skills and a love and appreciation for learning in a museum setting.”

Popular themes and literary favorites, like Beatrix Potter, are occasionally repeated as workshop classes.

This year, in celebration of the author’s 150th birth anniversary, Dale Schafer from the Beatrix Potter Society attended the workshop’s last session for the activities and stories.

Sonata Room

By Gus Herrera

S

ince 1999, Laura Powell and Brandon Kwae have been teaching the art of dance to clients all throughout the San Gabriel Valley.

Not only is dancing a fun skill to learn, it also a useful confidence-booster for those parties/weddings and is a great way to exercise, meet new friends, and simply escape from the rigidity of daily life. Dance is a fun, liberating, and healthy activity/hobby for both couples and singles alike, and the Sonata Room is the perfect place to let loose Powell and Kwae pride themselves in providing a friendly, welcoming environment for all levels of dancers.

Although the duo followed fairly different paths along their dance careers, it did not take long for Kwae and Powell to realize they shared a passion for teaching.

Kwae has always been a talented athlete - whether it was via soccer, basketball, or martial arts, he always felt most comfortable while active. Unfortunately, the stress of balancing full-time work and nights at the Kung-Fu studio eventually took a toll on his body, so he became interested in finding a less-punish-

The light turned green and we all moved forward.

Just as I was under the freeway overpass, the light ahead turned yellow. We emerged from the shadow into the sunlight. I noticed the gal behind me had removed the phone from her ear and would probably stop on time. The white car with the nose, mustache, and finger made a right turn.

The bus in front of me drove through the now red light.

I stopped. I reached over and flipped on the airintake fan. My friend said

Meet soft, sweet Kylie, about 1-and-a-half-yearsold. Kylie is adorable and super, super sweet! She’s a medium-hair calico with lots of white.

Want the purr-fect cat? Look no further! We can't say enough about how sweet and loving she is! Call to arrange to meet her at one of our Petsmart adoption Sundays: (909)

A sport utility vehicle pulled up beside us. I didn't want to look but I couldn't help myself. I looked. A big red dog had his head out the window. Drool was dripping from his tongue. The light changed.

I hit the gas and beat the SUV out. I didn't want to see where that drool would fly. This time I could help myself.

e were stopped at a traffic light - I reached over and flipped off the air-intake fan because a big bus was belching black smoke right in front of us. I glanced over at the white car to our right. "Oh God, that guy is picking his nose and he has a mustache. I'm trying not to look."

It was kind of like when a kid comes up, pulls back his lip and says, "You want to see my sore?"

You don't want to, but you can't help yourself. You look. Or, someone says, "Phew, this really stinks, smell it."

You don't want to, but you can't help yourself. You sniff it.

I was a little like that with the guy with the mustache, the nose and the finger. I didn't want to look but I couldn't help myself. I had to check now and then to see if he was having any success.

Rae V. Anderson Jr. Starting a new business?

File your DBA with us at filedba.com

May 30, 1923 – Sept. 9, 2016

Arcadia City Notices member, of the Sierra Madre Search & Rescue Team, Anderson organized and took part in searches, ran and organized base camps, and was heavily involved in the bloodhound training, as one of the family dogs, Jinx, was a bloodhound and the Anderson sons quickly became the “bait” in training these search dogs.

“You guys go up the trail there and hide!” The process would repeat, with the tracking distances increasing a few feet at a time, until the hounds became proficient at finding the right scent and tracking the victim for miles.

At age 75, Anderson met Anne Garbarine and they became fast friends and fellow trail hikers, undertaking a backpack trip into the Sierras and, along with a group of ladies, who called themselves the Rae-ettes, went to Africa in 2008, visiting Uganda to see the gorillas. This arduous two-day adventure to be close to gorilla families was a huge thing for Anderson and he frequently spoke of the gorillas, even having them as his screen saver. Two of his Rae-ettes took him to Catalina for his 92nd birthday, to show him the place he hadn’t seen since the 1940s.

Anderson was one of those people who would bend over backward to help a friend and, as a result, had many friends who loved him dearly.

He was a frequent dog-sitter and did his best to corrupt the best-behaved dogs. He was an aviculturist, involved particularly with the spectacularly beautiful Lady Gouldian Finch, and was renowned for his success in keeping and breeding them.

Anderson’s picture is proudly displayed on our own Veteran’s Memorial Wall in Sierra Madre Memorial Park.

A memorial will be held at Ascension Church in Sierra Madre at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29.

of knowledge in natural history and the natural sciences.

Anderson married Geraldine Mary Griest in October 1942 – just before he entered the Navy. They were blessed with four children: Kenneth Rae, Eric Van, and twins Kurt Scott and Heidi Lucille. Kurt laughingly stressed that he was by far the senior twin, being 13 minutes older than Heidi! Rae and Gerry were the proud grandparents of 10 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. Gerry passed away just two months short of their 60th wedding anniversary.

Anderson’s home, hidden away in the Sierra Madre Canyon, is one of those lovely places where it’s just plain peaceful to be. As part of the group celebrating Anderson’s 93rd birthday, I had occasion to sit out on his back deck with many of his friends and admire the trees and Anderon’s Koi pond. Ah, the Koi pond ... very deep, straight down with an overhang – designed to defeat the miserable raccoons and herons, eventually became a sushi platter for our bears. Over the years, Anderson spent a fortune on Koi and, at this moment, his least two favorites are still swimming happily and awaiting their next helping of TetraPond Koi Growth Food!

“They broke the mold after they made Rae!” “What an inspiration!”

Another of the “Greatest Generation” has left us. Rae V. Anderson, 51-year resident of Sierra Madre, passed away Sept. 9.

World War II Submariner and Korean War Veteran, member and past president of the Search & Rescue Team, and daily hiker of the Mt. Wilson Trail for many years, Anderson was a naturalist of the finest kind with an encyclopedic knowledge of birds, plants, trees, and flora and fauna of every description.

Born May 30, 1923, Anderson was a resident of Alhambra and Southern California all his life, except for stretches in the Navy, where he served his country with pride and excellence.

Anderson joined the Navy in 1942 at a very young age of 19 and served on a submarine in the Pacific as a radio-sonar-radar operator and technician. He was part of the commission crew of the SS-402 Sea Fox Balao-class submarine.

Anderson served “duration plus six months,” exiting active duty in 1946 and then went into the Reserves. Anderson was on Midway Island when the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan.

Commissioned as a Reserves officer in the Peacetime Navy, Anderson was sent back to Japan where he worked with and made friends with the Japanese officers who made up what was called the Japanese Maritime Defense Force after the war, training them on Patrol Frigates, notably, the USS Newport.

Anderson frequently commented that these Japanese officers, the finest surviving officers following WW2, had forgotten more about seamanship than he ever knew!

Anderson was part of the shore support team in the shelling of the Incheon invasion and had his share of Korean Service medals. Anderson loved the Navy, but not so much his time in the Korean conflict.

Anderson attended Pasadena Junior College (now PCC), then went on to graduate from UC Berkeley with a bachelor’s in business. He was a long-time employee of Pacific Telephone, seeking employment with a company that would afford him the ability to take care of his family.

As a child growing up during the Depression, that stability was something he greatly valued for his family.

He retired from Pacific Telephone at age 63 and devoted himself to his real love, pursuit

Starting a new business?

Go to filedba.com Monrovia City Notices ORDINANCE NO. 2016-10 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA AMENDING TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE TO INCORPORATE DEMOLITION REVIEW PERMIT REGULATIONS FOR ANY MAIN RESIDENTIAL BUILDING THAT IS FIFTY OR MORE YEARS OLD THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORINIA does ordain as follows: SECTION 1. The Monrovia City Council adopted Ordinance Nos. 2014-13U and 2014-13 on November 18, 2014, and December 2, 2014, respectively which prohibited the demolition of any main building on a property in the City constructed prior to January 1, 1940 (Moratorium). The purpose of the Moratorium was to allow the City to study, review and adopt permanent zoning regulations regarding the demolition or significant alteration of historic residential structures in the City. The Moratorium was extended by the adoption of Ordinance 2014-16U on December 16, 2014. Ordinance Nos. 2014-13U, 2014-13, and 2014-16U are hereby repealed as of the effective date of this Ordinance No. 2016-10.

SECTION 2. On August 10, 2016, the Planning Commission of the City of Monrovia conducted a duly noticed public hearing on Ordinance No. 2016-10. At the hearing, all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard. The Planning Commission received and considered the staff report and all the information, evidence, and testimony presented in connection with this Ordinance.

Following the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PCR2016-04 recommending approval of Ordinance No. 2016-10.

SECTION 3. On September 6, 2016, the City Council of the City of Monrovia conducted a duly noticed public hearing on Ordinance No. 2016-10. At the hearing, all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard. The City Council received and considered the staff report and all the information, evidence, and testimony presented in connection with this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. Environmental Review Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, City Staff determined that Ordinance 2016-10 is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. City Staff found that there is no possible significant effect directly related to Ordinance 2016-10 ("project"), because this ordinance will impose regulations that will constrain the demolition of historic residential structures and thereby reduce the potential environmental impacts arising from demolition of residential structures that are 50 or more years old for the purpose of preserving existing, potentially significant historic resources in the City. Therefore, no further action is required under CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR § 15061(b)(3)). The City Council has reviewed the project and based upon the whole record before it, in the exercise of its independent judgment and analysis, concurs that City staff has correctly concluded that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code and the effects derivative from that adoption may have a significant effect on the environment, because this ordinance will reduce the potential environmental impacts arising from the demolition or significant alteration of residential structures that are 50 or more years old and will thereby preserve existing, potentially significant historic resources in the City.

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

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

SECTION 7. Title 17 (Zoning), Chapter 17.12 (Residential Development Standards), is hereby amended by repealing in its entirety Section 17.12.050 (Demolition of Residential Structures-Advisory Review) of the Monrovia Municipal Code.

SECTION 8. Title 17 (Zoning), Chapter 17.12 (Residential Development Standards), Section 17.12.060 (Incentives for Retention of Residential Structures), subsection (B) of the Monrovia Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: (B) Properties subject to this section. The incentives in this section apply to residential structures in residential zones that are fifty years old or older and have architectural values as determined by the Historic Preservation Commission. The qualification will be based on the condition of the existing structure, its architectural integrity and historic value, and the proposed development and restoration plan for the property.

SECTION 9. Title 17 (Zoning), Chapter 17.12 (Residential Development Standards), Section 17.12.060 (Incentives for Retention of Residential Structures), subsection (C) of the Monrovia Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: (C) Exceptions and variances. Exceptions and variances. The provisions in this title may be deviated from if the Committee or the Commission determines that the value of preserving the structure outweighs potential impacts of the approval of a minor exception approved pursuant to Section 17.52.110 or major variance approved pursuant to Section 17.52.120.

SECTION 10. Title 17 (Zoning) the Monrovia Municipal Code is hereby amended by adding a new Chapter 17.10 entitled “Demolition Review of Main Residential Buildings” to read as follows: Chapter 17.10 Demolition Review of Main Residential Buildings 17.10.010

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

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 024139-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Arcadia Remains Undefeated After 10-0 Defensive Battle Against PHS story By Christian Romo

www.WhereMusicMeetsTheSoul.com 888-645-5006 Dinner Seating/Service Available For All Performances

The Apaches and the Bulldogs proved Friday night that low scoring could mean high excitement.

In a game that featured a combined eight turnovers and 12 sacks, the Arcadia Apaches (4-0) outlasted the Pasadena Bulldogs (0-4) 10-0 at Pasadena High.

A 29-yard touchdown pass from Apache junior quarterback Max Davila (#18) to sophomore DaMarco Moorer (#15) put the game out of reach with just over six minutes left to play in the game, and a sack by senior defensive tackle Isaiah Leon (#34) on fourth down during Pasadena’s final possession sealed the victory for Arcadia.

“It feels good that [my work] pays off from practice,” Leon said of his two sacks, noting that he used his speed to make up for his lack of size when rushing the pass.

Though standout senior Raeshawn Roland (#6) returned from an injury sustained two weeks ago at Monrovia, Arcadia struggled to move the ball against the Bulldog’s stout front seven.

The Apaches advanced to the red zone twice in the second quarter, but scored only three points on their first try and no points on their second, after fumbling an exchange on Pasadena’s 1-yard line.

“That can’t happen,” said Arcadia Coach Andrew Policky, “the game’s a little more comfortable if we don’t do that.”

The Apaches finally broke through in the fourth quarter when Davila found Moorer on a short pass down the middle. Moorer

juked a would-be tackler after the catch and sprinted 20 yards down the right sideline, diving towards the pylon to score the game’s only touchdown and secure Arcadia’s victory.

The Bulldogs defense stifled Arcadia for most of the game, sacking Davila six times and containing Arcadia’s tailbacks.

“Our defense played a hell of a game,” said Pasadena Coach DeJuan Shamburger, “we knew we were going to get pressure … we were doing a lot of stunts, hitting them on the block, we were there.” Bulldog’s senior captain Alec Malloy (#19) recorded two sacks and helped plug up the Apache’s running attack, finding holes in the offensive line and bursting through for key tackles.

While Pasadena’s defense stonewalled the Apaches, the Bulldog’s offense languished against Arcadia’s pass rush, turning the ball over six times, three times on failed fourth down conversions, and allowing six sacks on Pasadena quarterbacks.

“We got after them up front,” said Policky of his team’s defensive effort. “We created a lot of negative plays … got a lot of pressure on the quarterback, which caused some errant throws.”

The Bulldogs made a second-half adjustment and successfully ran the ball up the middle during their longest drive of the game, but a missed field goal ended the Bulldog’s opportunity to tie the game in the middle of the third quarter.

“We should’ve been

pounding the ball more,” coach Shamburger said. “I’ll take this blame. But my kids fought.”

Arcadia opens the season with four straight wins for the first time since 2007, topping the Pacific League as league play starts. Though all the wins have been close, Policky didn’t diminish his team’s accomplishment.

“They go down as wins no matter how much you win them by,” he said.

The Apaches come back home to play Muir Friday at 7 p.m., while the Bulldogs look to snap their losing streak against Burroughs Friday in Pasadena.

Westridge Overpowers Mayfield in Four Sets story By Christian Romo Westridge junior Allison Martinez (#1) started slowly, but by the end of the match she showed why she is one of the best hitters in California.

Behind Martinez’s 26 kills, the visiting Westridge Tigers (12-1, 5-1 in conference) defeated their rival Mayfield Cubs (7-5-1, 3-2) in four sets (31-29, 23-25, 25-18, 25-16) Monday night in Pasadena.

Four of Martinez’s first five attacks flew beyond the baseline, but she soon regained her form and led her team to their fourth league victory.

“I just felt a little out of rhythm,” Martinez said of her first set. “I

realized I should do more placement shots and be a smarter hitter, and then I started to build more confidence and take bigger swings.”

Despite Martinez’s initial struggles, the Tigers won a wild first set with the help of junior Eryn Boken (#7), who catalyzed an early sevenpoint run in which she recorded three of her set-leading five kills.

“I try to get it started in the beginning of the game because I think our team definitely thrives off of energy,” Boken said. The Tigers needed all the motivation they could get to survive the 60-point set, by far their highest-scoring frame of the year.

After losing early, the Cubs rallied and took the second set from the

Eaves (Left, #5) attempts to block Martinez's tip.

Tigers. Mayfield Coach Stephen Bernabe said that rather than sensing disappointment, he saw a positive attitude from his team following the set: “The girls had lots of energy and instead of speaking to them in the huddle, I let the girls run it.”

“I think we just snapped into focus, and the chance of energy on the court really contributed to it,” said Mayfield senior Andrea Raymundo (#14) of her team’s second set.

Thanks to effective setting from Raymundo and sophomore Ellie Watkins (#3), Mayfield first-year Hayley Eaves (#5) continued her emergence as a reliable outside hitter.

Eaves dropped a team-high 10 kills on the Tigers, helping the Cubs

keep up with one of the best teams in the area.

“The growth is there,” says Bernabe of his young team, “I couldn’t be more proud of the girls.”

Though the Cubs fought, they couldn’t stop

the Tiger’s outside hitters in the final two sets. Junior Makana Meyer (#13) recorded nine kills overall, while Martinez tallied nine of her 26 kills in the third set alone.

With the win, the Ti-
