93 year Old Fighter Pilot Publishes ‘Flight of a Hell Hawk’

BY STEVE SILKEN AND TERRY MILLER

It’s only fitting that we focus our attention this week on Veterans, as tomorrow (Friday) is Veteran’s Day …

The Arcadia City Council last week honored WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Edward J. Lopez, 93, a resident of the city since 1962, on the occasion of the publication of his memoir, "Flight of a Hell Hawk."

Ed started life as a Latino scamp running around Los Angeles, sneaking into movies and throwing newspapers. He then spent a year in New Mexico learning the cowboy life. He graduated from high school the year after Pearl Harbor was bombed, and joined the Army Air Corps (alongside

Clark Gable). Suddenly, he became a fighter pilot and flew in key bombing raids of German emplacements and dogfights against the Luftwaffe! And just a few years after climbing through windows of Hollywood theaters to see films, he was advising General Patton's command staff on how to cross a river!

Originally, Veterans Day was called “Armistice Day,” and the date was chosen to commemorate the signing of the armistice with Germany that ended hostilities during World War I. The armistice, signed on Nov. 11, 1918, did not officially end that war, however. That came on June 28, SEE PAGE 10

Arcadia has been asked to change its electoral process. The HQH Chinese American Equalization Association (HQH CAEA) alleges the city is in violation of the California Voting Rights Act and should convert from at-large voting to a by-district system to allow more Asian American representation on the council.

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.

Letter to Editor:The Preserve Sierra Madre Coalition Concerned for Craftsman Home Dear Editor: The Preserve Sierra Madre coalition is very concerned about what has happened to the 1907 Craftsman home located at 126 E. Mira Monte and known as the Henry A. Darling House.

It was only last year that a previous buyer had proposed to demolish this home. The result was an uproar in the community and several packed City Council meetings as people voiced their shock and displeasure that anyone would consider demolishing such a magnificent home that contained some of the finest architectural details that you could find in a Craftsman home of that era.

Evidently the City Council was concerned as well with preserving this home because they passed an emergency demolition moratorium that saved this home from the wrecking ball. Our City Council later passed a permanent demolition ordinance that would help to preserve potentially historically significant homes from demolition.

The home was subsequently sold to a new buyer and now we see a home that is all but demolished with only a partial skeleton remaining – a ghost-like shell of its former self. The Staff Report states that City Staff and the Applicant determined that this 1907 Craftsman known as the Henry A Darling House has no historical significance.

However, they are not only not qualified to make that determination, the Demolition Ordinance specifically

requires that an independent architectural historian be the one that makes that determination and provides a list of experts to choose from.

How can we trust the applicant who wants to tear the house down to dig up information on why the house can’t be torn down. This ordinance is triggered when you have a home built more than 75 years ago and when you propose to demolish more than 25 percent of the building.

In this case 90 percent was demolished and now City Staff is proposing that we gather up a few old photographs of this magnificent home and store it in the public library as a reminder of its prior existence and the applicant is asking for an after-the-fact demolition permit for a home that has been virtually demolished already.

How can it be that the very home that was the catalyst for the emergency demolition moratorium and later the permanent demolition moratorium has been, for all intents and purposes, demolished without even triggering the ordinance. We would like to respectfully ask the Planning Commission how this could have happened and get to the bottom of this.

- Thank you.

Letter to Editor: Best Buy Retail Christmas Advertising Sparks Controversy Dear Editor: Not that Drummer Boy!!!!

Yes it’s the sound of Christmas already, Halloween items are already on the markdown bin.

The smell of Turkey dinner is

BeaconMediaNews.com

not too far away The store aisles are already filled with the pageantry of Christmas: trees, lights, toys and music.

The reason for the season is hard is to find.

There is no escape! Christmas commercials are filling the airwaves And one T.V. commercial has caught my attention.

BEST Buy Drummer Boy not because it’s creative but rather insensitive.

Didn’t we as a country finally realize that confederate flag has no place except in a museum. (Charleston Church Shooting 6-17-15) The commercial doesn’t have a confederate flag but rather a young boy dressed in a confederate uniform as he banged on his drum.

Why a Confederate uniform?

What’s next, a kid in a Ku Klux Klan Outfit?

I really wanted a story about John Lincoln Clem - a real drummer Boy Yes, I did call BEST Buy Headquarters 612 (231-5146) but no one returned my calls.

- Ralph R Walker EDITOR’S NOTE We, too, called Best Buy’s corporate HQ for a comment and like Ralph Walker, we have not heard back from the company’s public relations dept.

Letter to Editor: Dorothy’s Place, ‘That’s Cool’ (11/3/16 Issue) Dorothy can place me at the top of her pet lovers list, since I too will do anything to not disturb a sleeping pet.

Not only that, but years back

I made a great sacrifice for Pumpkin, a neighborhood cat who adopted me as her constant and devoted companion.

And I hope my Muslim friends don’t resent me, but I can assure them that I loved Pumpkin in the same way that their revered Prophet Muhammad loved his cat Muezza. The story is familiar: Rather than disturb Muezza, who was sleeping on the sleeve of his costly robe, Muhammed cut it off so as not to interrupt his lovely creature’s peaceful slumber.

Now back to my life with Pumpkin: Once I owned a Mexican serape that was truly a work of art. Its creator wove its fine wool in multiple vivid hues which could have competed with Joseph’s coat of many colors, as described in the Bible.

Yes, Pumpkin appropriated my treasured serape as her bed, her comfort blanket, her camping tent, and whatever else entered her creative mind. And you’re right...without any regrets I gave her full ownership of my expensive serape.

After all, Pumpkin was my lady boss, and I loved her.

- David Quintero, President of Dorothy Denne’s Fan Club

Hell Hawk Continued from page 1

1919, with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. On the other hand, since the U.S. never signed the Treaty of Versailles like the other Allies, one could say that for the U.S. at least, the Nov. 11 armistice really did end the war.

At first, the focus of Armistice Day was on the veterans of World War I, though it was always meant to honor all veterans of foreign wars, who risked their lives on the battle field to secure the freedoms of all Americans. Over time, with the passing away of the World War I generation and the coming of new conflicts during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, the focus on the 1918 Armistice was lost and the name of the holiday was changed.

Additionally, today, Veterans Day is generally regarded as honoring all those who ever served in the U.S. Armed Force rather than only those

who actually fought in a war When Arcadia Police Chief Robert Guthrie saw Edward J. Lopez signing his book in front of City Hall last week, he had to pose for his portrait with the longtime resident and highly decorated veteran pilot.

"It's not every day you get to have your picture taken with a World War II fighter pilot," Guthrie said.

"I'll bet you could tell me some stories."

Indeed. That's why Lopez wrote his memoir, "Flight of a Hell Hawk" – to tell those stories. And they are fascinating, funny, terrifying – sometimes all at once. Guthrie ran to his office to grab some cash so he could buy a copy.

Lopez, 93, received a commendation from the Arcadia City Council for his service as an airman in World War II and Korea.

Those attending the Nov. 1 presentation, includ-

ing his son Gabe, a pilot out of San Gabriel Airport and about a dozen friends from a local gym, agreed that Lopez is truly a city treasure.

He's lived in Arcadia since 1962 with his wife Maria and raised five children.

We asked what keeps this 93 year old going so strong. “I work out every day,” Lopez senior said.

“I still fly, not solo, but with my son Gabe,” Lopez said.

Gabe Lopez is the only one of his children who took

up Lopez’ Sr.’s passion for flying.

One of (Gabe’s) planes is a beautifully restored Stearman, or Boeing Stearman. Stearman officially ceased to operate as a brand then, but about the same time the Stearman plant created it’s most successful and enduring product, the Model 75 "Kaydet". The Kaydet would become the primary trainer aircraft for the United States military during WWII. This was the very plane aboard which Ed Lopez learned to fly.

In fact he was such a natural flyer, he says that they very quickly promoted him from trainee to flight trainer.

"We all really respect Ed," said Kathy Echauri, who rounded up the gym crew to buy signed copies of Ed's book and see him honored by the council.

And just a few years after climbing through windows of Hollywood theaters to see films, he was advising General George S. Patton's command staff on how to cross a river as they pushed back the enemy in the Battle of the Bulge.

Realtor Sylvia Ramos was impressed to learn of Lopez's exploits, his Purple Heart – he was hit in the face with flack on one mission, but kept flying anyway – and his many other honors. She felt a surge of Latino pride.

"It's so important to know this history, and especially from a Latino," she said, agreeing that Lopez was truly "living history."

The book details Lopez's vivid memories of growing up in Los Angeles in the '20s and '30s,

Pasadena Sierra Madre Monrovia

then learning how to be a cowboy during his year in New Mexico. But above all, it chronicles his time in World War II. Lopez and his fellow pilots in the Hell Hawks group fought in a historic dogfight, knocking German planes out of the sky like no one had ever before. They also blasted an entire Panzer division into the proverbial smithereens, helping clear the way for Patton's army to push back the last Nazi offensive, the Battle of the Bulge.

"It's a story of life and love and war," said Steve Silkin, who edited the book for his Los Angeles publishing company, Conquistador. "And how anyone who made it through that war had to have good instincts, as Ed did, and a guardian angel watching over him, as Ed did, too."

Ed and Victor Lopez, a TV production lighting designer, wrote the memoir together as a father-son project.

Ed Lopez said he was humbled by the attention the book received from his fellow gym rats – they work out together most every day – and the recognition of the council. He accepted the city certificate on behalf of all the pilots and crew in the Hell Hawks fighter group, most now have passed.

"This is for all of us," he said. "I'm only the custodian."

The ebook is available via Amazon's Kindle store or for the iPad via iTunes.

The paperback is available on lulu.com.

It will also be available at Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena next month.

They allocated funds to hire a demographics expert while Beck meets with Arcadia’s Asian leaders. “What I want to learn is, are they happy with the way things are? Do they want districts? What can we do to get more Asians on the city council?”

McDonald says HQH CAEA, a non-profit advocate group for a “united Asian American Community” according its Facebook page, has “received, over time, a number of complaints about the fact that there were so few Asian American city councilpeople.”

There are a couple events contributing to the demand’s timing. “One, is I believe they did talk to the city earlier. Two, I

believe there is a new law that created an opportunity for the city to address this.”

The law, last year’s SB 493, allows “a city with a population of fewer than 100,000 people to adopt an ordinance that requires the members of the legislative body to be elected by district” without going to the voters, the Bill states. As of last July, the Census estimated Arcadia’s population as 58,408 and 59.2 percent Asian.

The current at-large system allows any voter to vote for any candidate on the ballot. Elected officials then serve “the population of the city as a whole,” according to the National League of Cities website, a resource and advocate site for city leaders.

“If you are running atlarge, you’re going to try to find the two or three thousand most likely voters, which … more often than not, are, only one geographic part of the city and so you end up then with one geographic part of the city

electing the majority of the city council,” says McDonald, who served on Pasadena’s redistricting taskforce in 2001 and 2011.

Meanwhile, district candidates can only be voted for people in their area. “If you represent a district, you’re only interested in that district and what limited taxpayer money can you get for [it],” says Beck.

He is concerned districting could “polarize the city.”

But, should Beck learn from analysis and outreach “that we have a problem, then I’m open to changing.”

McDonald says HQH CAEA wants to avoid litigation. “They hope everybody would agree it is a worthy goal and that is that by going to district elections, you improve your accountability, you improve your participation, you improve the overall transparency … make sure that everyone is getting represented.”

However, they are prepared to pursue a lawsuit.

crease of 6.25 percent over the $150,574,656 total in 2015.

Saturday’s on-track handle was $13,515,269, an increase of 3.5 percent over last year’s on-track handle at Keeneland. The on-track handle at Santa Anita for the two days was $20,694,235.

“The Breeders’ Cup exists to showcase the very best of Thoroughbred racing and we witnessed that over the last two days,” Breeders' Cup President and CEO Craig Fravel said. “We want to thank racing fans here and around the world for watching and wagering on our event. Santa Anita showed again why it is such a spectacular venue for our championships and we also want to thank our hosts from the Stronach Group, its staff, our volunteers and the cites of Arcadia and Pasadena.”

John Oxley’s Classic Empire ($11) disposed of Syndergaard at the head of the stretch and then held off a bid from favored Not This Time by a neck to win the 33rd running of the $2 million Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) for 2-year-olds on Saturday afternoon at Santa Anita Park.

Trained by Mark Casse and ridden by c. A Kentuckybred son of Pioneerof the Nile, Classic Empire has won four of five starts with the lone

blemish coming in the Hopeful when he wheeled at the start of the race and lost his rider.

The victory was the second World Championships triumph for Oxley, whose Beautiful Pleasure won the 1999 Distaff at Gulfstream Park. It was the third Breeders’ Cup win for Casse and seventh for Leparoux and first in the Juvenile for both.

Winning Jockey Julien Leparoux (Classic Empire) – “He broke sharp and I put him in the race right away. He took second very nice. I tried to open up coming to the quarter pole, which he did and held off Not This Time (second). He is a nice colt. We really love him and we knew he was going to run good, so I’m glad we got the win.”

Four winners of the 13 Breeders’ Cup races over the weekend were greeted by trainers winning their first Championship test, one of them with their first starter.

Winning with his first starter was Ian Kruljac (Finest City – Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint).

The other first-time winners were Brian Lynch (Oscar Performance – Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf), Peter Eurton (Champagne Room – 14 Hands Winery Breeders’

Cup Juvenile Fillies) and Phil D’Amato (Obviously – Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint).

Bob Baffert, the only trainer to win two races over the weekend in the Championships (Arrogate – Breeders’ Cup Classic) and Drefong (TwinSpires Breeders’ Cup Sprint), boosted his victory total to 14 and moved past D. Wayne Lukas as the alltime leading money earner in the Championships with $24,770,000. Lukas, the alltime leader in victories with 20, has seen his runners earn $22,580,520.

Baffert also became the first trainer to win the Classic three consecutive years when Arrogate ran down favorite California Chrome. Bayern won for Baffert in 2014 at Santa Anita and Triple Crown winner American Pharoah triumphed last year at Keeneland. All three Classic winners were 3 year olds.

Aidan O’Brien notched his 11th Championships victory with Highland Reel (Longines Turf) and Bill Mott got his 10th with Tourist (Mile). Richard Mandella moved into a tie for fifth with Todd Pletcher and Shug McGaughey with nine victories.

Beholder’s victory in the Longines Distaff accounted for Mandella’s tally.

Bridging Latin and Asian Cultures Through Entertainment Wildly popular Taiwanese drama “Sixteen Summers” has been dubbed in Spanish and will be airing in the U.S. on Nov. 21. “Sixteen Summers” is the second Taiwanese-Spanish TV program collaboration that will air in the U.S., following last year’s airing of “The Fierce

Wife.” The drama will be broadcasted on KJLA Channel 57, the Los Angeles base for LATV Network, a Spanish language entertainment network. Translated as “Dieciséis Veranos” in Spanish, the drama will also be broadcasted this year in nine Latin American countries, includ-

ing six of Taiwan’s diplomatic allies — Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Paraguay — in addition to Argentina, Colombia and Mexico. The partnership between KJLA and TECO-LA (Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles) is a part of an

initiative launched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan to foster awareness and understanding of Taiwanese culture in Spanish speaking communities.

1998 to 2014, the series highlights several major events weaved throughout the story of star-crossed lovers Jiani Tang (played by actress Ruby Lin) and Weide Fang (played by actor Weber Yang), including the 729 blackout and the 921 earthquake (in 1999), the 2003 SARS outbreak, and the financial crisis of 2007-2008.

Airing in Taiwan in 2014, the show won a Golden Bell Award (equivalent to the Emmy Awards in the U.S.) for “Best Television Series.”

“We are delighted to bring a television drama that has made waves in Taiwanese popular culture to the United States,” said Steve Hsia, the Director-General of TECO-LA. “Sixteen Summers is not just a soap opera, but a deeply funny and touching show that illustrates uni-

versal topics such as love, friendship, and loyalty. We believe that these topics can resonate across cultures and language. As this is the second series that will be airing in the U.S., I am confident that a bridge has been built between Latin and Taiwanese cultures,” he adds. “It’s truly a pleasure to bring these programs to Los Angeles to share with all of our Spanish speaking friends.”

Young Kudos Students Excel in Speech Tournaments The students at Kudos College of Youth Leadership, a school dedicated to teaching children as young as first grade through 12th grade skills in public speaking and debate, are off to a strong start for the beginning of the 2016-2017 season of speech and debate tournaments.

On Oct. 21, Kudos competed in the Jefferson Middle School Speech Tournament – the first of the season for the Southern California Junior Forensics League.

Kudos student Sharon Liu placed first in the Impromptu category.

Impromptu speech involves creating a fully formed speech based on a simple word, such as “creativity” or “kindness,” with very little prep time.

Sharon excelled by giving intelligent examples and speaking eloquently.

Kudos students Selina Ho and Emma Sieh also placed high in the Storytelling category, winning first and fourth place respectively. Storytelling is a performance based category where students are to per-

form with emotion and expression; Selina and Emma showed their skills in these criteria with stories from Greek mythology, and succeeded in delighting their audiences with their clever performances.

On Oct. 22, Kudos students also competed in the La Reina High School Debate Tournament. In Policy debate, Matthew Zhang and George Zhang placed first, and Caleb Lee and Andrew Sinsioco placed second.

George was the top speaker. In Public Forum debate, William Chang and Benny Tong finished in fourth place, and Emma Chen and Nanette Zhang finished in sixth place.

Kudos College of Youth Leadership, founded in 2009, strives to teach all students to become excellent public speakers and leaders of tomorrow. A Kudos student typically starts between third through fifth grade with the Communications Pro Level I class. In this course, students learn about a broad variety of speech and debate events.

They can then progress to Level II classes, where they expand their skills and understanding of events, and learn more advanced forms of speech and debate. From there, students typically progress to Kudos’ Tournament Prep class, where students choose an event in which to compete and prepare throughout the year.

Under the guidance of knowledgeable coaches, Kudos students have gone on to earn top awards at speech and debate tournaments across the country.

Kudos’ hard work has not gone unrecognized; for five years in a row, Kudos College of Youth Leadership has been awarded the School of Excellence in Debate from the National Middle School Speech and Debate League – a distinction that has only been achieved by one other school in the nation.

Monrovia Homebrew Shop

By Emily G. Peters

Shop was founded in 2014 and opened its doors for business in 2015. Functioning as a supply haven for beer buffs (or cerevisaphiles, if you’re feeling fancy), the shop was launched by newlyweds Araceli and Steven Cardenas and their close friend, Robert Hernandez to help fill what was a major gap in the homebrew market in the San Gabriel Valley. Before they opened, homebrewers in the

rom draft to craft to microbrews, a beer renaissance has been afoot across the nation in recent years. And though it’s pretty easy to get your hands on a locally-produced beer these days, an even more discerning approach to fermentation has been furtively gaining ground: the art of homebrewing.

area would have to travel all over Los Angeles to obtain what they needed. “The business was founded to provide equipment supplies for the brewing community within a 20 mile radius, with supplies for beer, wine, cider, mead and other spirits,” said Araceli Cardenas. “We wanted to offer quality ingredients, durable equipment and excellent customer service to build lifelong brewers.”

The shop, located just south of Monrovia’s popular Old Town area, supplies everything a new or experienced homebrewer needs, from an impressive array of imported and domestic specialty grains to fill-ups for CO₂ tanks to bottling supplies and more. The shop nurtures local interest in homebrewing by offering inexperienced brewers a headstart by attending one of their monthly beer-making classes, covering topics like all-grain brewing and extract brewing. Their e-newsletter helps the community stay on top of their newest ingredients, equipment, and upcoming events, while their website is crammed with beer recipes, brewing resources, and even a calendar for year-round local homebrew competitions.

tively new to the Monrovia community, the founders aren’t new to brewing. Steven and Araceli Cardenas are also partners at Monrovia’s nearby Pacific Plate Brewing Co., Monrovia’s first and only craft brewery just a few steps away from Monrovia Homebrew Shop – a perfect combo for a brew-focused outing. Faithful to the spirit of local homebrewing, the shop also hosts free “Bottle Share” days where local homebrewers and beer enthusiasts can bring their own brews or personal favorites to share, allowing guests

to taste and learn from fellow homebrewers in the area. Lovers of all-things-fermented will also benefit from new classes on winemaking, cider-making, mead-making and yeast culture, all slated to be introduced by the shop in the coming year.

As brewers and entrepreneurs, the founders’ commitment to bringing great brewing products and services to Monrovia and beyond is evident. “We make beer for a living. We customize our advice and provide an array of products that are tailored to each brewer,” said Araceli Cardenas. “We provide personal experience and care to all our customers.”

Post Alarm Celebrates 60 Years of Exceptional Service In 2016, Post Alarm, the Arcadia California-based security company celebrates its 60th year of continuous operation. The third generation family-owned and operated company was founded in 1956 by former police chief, Sam Post, and has consistently earned local and national recognition for its security services.

For six decades, Post Alarm has served Arcadia and the surrounding area. Since its humble beginnings, Post Alarm has grown, and now offers cutting-edge security services including Commercial and Residential security and fire alarm systems, interactive connected home solutions, medical alert monitoring, access control, video surveillance, patrol/armed response services and state of the art monitoring from their own UL Listed 5 Diamond monitoring station in Arcadia. Though the initial vision of providing basic security services to the local community has greatly ex-

panded, dedication to service remains unwavering.

As the security offerings have grown, and the name “Post Alarm” gained greater recognition, the company has made a point of actively giving back to its community. Today, Post Alarm is synonymous with community service, and participates in a host of community events including parades, car shows, neighborhood watch initiatives, and safety fairs. Post Alarm is also a familiar figure at police and fire department events, and regularly offers security education to local community organizations. Giving back to the community is extremely important to the company and Post Alarm just held their sixth annual charity golf tournament benefitting the Boys and Girls Club of the Foothills. .

Rob Post, and Gina Post-Franco third Generation Owners of Post Alarm note, “We are very excited to achieve this important

milestone. When our grandfather, Sam Post started this business, he had no idea it would be so successful. We believe it was his commitment to service that set Post Alarm apart from our competitors. When their parents Bill and Lois Post assumed leadership in 1970, they dedicated themselves to maintaining his legacy. This legacy is something that has passed on to the next generation of Post Alarm management and the entire Post Alarm team. Post Alarm was founded on quality service.

It is in our company DNA.” As Gina Post-Franco explains, Post Alarm is thankful for the community and its unwavering support.

“60 years is a long time”, she says. “We couldn’t have done it without our loyal customers or without the amazing team we have here at Post Alarm. We look forward seeing what the next 60 years will bring us, and plan to offer the same outstanding service in 2076 as we do today.”

For Good

Smart Women Smart Money

By Darlene Papa, Lifeline for Pets

BY Emmy Hernandez Certified Financial Planner® Practitioner, Attorney at Law

National Save for Retirement Week ended Oct. 22. Did you hear about this at work or within your coffee klatch?

Probably not. Allow me a moment then, as the timing is right.

This downplayed event ends right as the holiday shopping season begins. Now is a good time to offer a gentle reminder: putting money aside for retirement brings more long-term benefits than a new iPhone under the Christmas tree.

Many people neglect to save for retirement. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 41 percent of workers between 45 and 54 have less than $25,000 in savings. Thirty-nine percent of people over 55 possess sav-

ings of less than $25,000. This is a losing proposition.

One win-win scenario is to take advantage of employer-sponsored retirement plans. Saving through a workplace plan sends money into your retirement account before you have a chance to spend it. Some employers will even match your contributions up to a predetermined limit. An added benefit: such savings are pre-tax, meaning that saving money can reduce your taxable income at the same time.

If your employer doesn’t sponsor a retirement plan, then open an IRA account yourself. There are two typical types of IRAs – Traditional and Roth. For both, your contribution ceiling is $5,500 per

year, or $6,500 if you’re over 55. Make this limit your goal.

If you’re in a high-income tax bracket, a Traditional IRA can be a smart option because it may lower your taxable income.

It’s not always easy to save for retirement. Difficult decisions need to be made.

Making hard choices now means that you’ll have more freedom to make desirable choices in retirement.

Is It Time?

By Dorothy Denne

M

y first Dorothy's Place column was published on Jan. 20, 1994. It was about a lamp and the title was Is It Time?

I have done a weekly column ever since. That's a long time and a lot of col-

umns. Now I'm thinking once again, is it time?

Through those years, I've enjoyed sharing lives with my readers. Many have introduced themselves when we passed in the supermarket, the library, on a bus, in a theater, even once in a restroom in Tijuana. I've received so many letters, notes and

e-mails. They were thoughtful, thankful and kind. Well, a few were not, but hey, even they were learning experiences.

As Carol Burnett used to sing, I'm glad we had this time together. Now I think it is time to turn off the lamp at Dorothy's Place and take a little rest. Thank you all.

Stryder Age: 2 years

Stryder desperately needs a home! Stryder, age 2, a sweet, friendly, male, had a horribly mangled back leg due to someone likely setting out a leg trap and leaving him there for days (we have alerted the authorities in the area). He just had surgery to remove his leg, and is recovering nicely, but during which time we also learned he is FIV+. Technically, he is considered special needs, but in all actuality, he will be fine on 3 legs, is otherwise

BeaconMediaNews.com

healthy and needs no meds.

He just needs to be your only kitty, due to the FIV. We call him "Easy Stryder.”

His foster home ends in 2 weeks, so this sweet boy is looking for his forever home, where he will be treasured and safe, all the rest of his life.

Lifeline for Pets is a small no-kill rescue. We show some cats most Sunday afternoons at Petsmart, 3347 E. Foothill Blvd. in Pasadena, 12:30-3:30. Call to confirm at (626) 797-1753.

My last article, “Not Good Enough?” was about the difficulty of getting easy special needs pets adopted.

Now, I wish to address how rescue organizations, such as Lifeline for Pets, and others, pour their hearts and souls into saving the very difficult cases, in hopes that they, too, will know the love and comfort of a home, while teaching us about the joy of unconditional love.

To borrow lyrics from the musical, “Wicked” Pets “come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn. And we are led to those who help us most to grow — if we let them, and we help them in return.”

Lifeline has two very urgent cases: cats Trouper and Stryder. Trouper is an elderly, ragged male tabby, rescued off the streets over 7 months ago, starving and covered with dirt and fleas. He came to us war torn, scared, and depressed. No one knows how bad a life Trouper has had, but his actions and reactions would indicate that he's had it rough. He has everything wrong with him — FIV+, crypto, inflamed mouth and teeth to name a few. He is not friendly, but stoic. He still does not make eye contact or purr, but with his issues, we can’t blame him. His progress has been very slow. His desperately needed dental surgery will take place this week. Our fingers and paws are crossed that he’ll make it. We would love for Trouper to learn to trust people again, to play with other kitties, and to enjoy life, but he teaches us the hardest lesson — how to deal with pain and sorrow without whining or sighing — and to try to make the best of every day.

Then there’s Stryder, a young male cat, about age 2.

He was rescued last month, a stray, whose leg was badly mangled due to someone likely setting out a leg trap and leaving him there for days (we have alerted the authorities in the area). He just had surgery to remove his leg, during which time we also learned he is FIV+. He is recuperating nicely, as cats and dogs can function very well on 3 legs, and we have high hopes that someone will want to adopt this boy, who is just now learning about human kindness. Yet, he can teach us about forgiveness and unconditional love.

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.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act .

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 11/28/16 at 8:30AM in Dept. 99 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA 90012 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

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

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

Beacon’s CIF Football Preview

By Christian Romo The 2016 CIF football playoffs begin Friday and Beacon Media will be covering six local schools trying to bring a title back to the San Gabriel Valley. Here’s a look at the teams: Arcadia Apaches (8-2, 3rd in Pacific League) Division 11, First Round: at Oak Park The Apaches surprised many in the Pacific League by spending much of the season in first place. A season finale loss to Crescenta Valley dropped them to third, but a favorable matchup against the 6-4 Oak Park Eagles might be a launching pad for a deep run.

La Salle Lancers (6-4, 4th in Angelus League) Division 9, First Round: at Mayfair Though their record may not indicate it, the Lancers were Pasadena’s best team in 2016. They won an at-large

bid after losing a coin-toss to settle a three-way tie in the highly contested Angelus League, but considering their level of competition throughout the year, the Lancers should be favored for a CIF title.

Monrovia Wildcats (64, 1st in Rio Hondo League) Division 7, First Round: vs. St. Paul After beginning the season 1-4, the Wildcats swept through the Rio Hondo League and earned a home playoff game against the St. Paul Swordsmen. But though the Wildcats once again topped the Rio Hondo League, they’re going to need their best performance of the season to defeat St. Paul, who came within a field goal of beating La Salle earlier in the season.

They will travel to Lancaster to face the Golden Valley League champion Antelopes, and if they’re successful, a semifinal rematch with La Salle may be in the works.

Polytechnic Panthers (10-0, 1st in Prep League) Division 10, First Round: vs. Pacifica The Prep League champion Panthers host the Mariners out of Garden Grove this Friday. Poly will use a balanced offense and strong front-seven to show that their undefeated season was no fluke.

Rio Hondo Kares (6-3, 2nd in Prep League) Division 13, First Round: at South El Monte The Kares will contend for their fifteenth CIF title with a local tilt against the 9-1 Eagles. Though their roster is small, the Kares have a long history of defeating larger and better equipped teams, something they will try to do again this Friday in El Monte.

Major League Baseball Wonder is a Local Sports Mentor

By May S. Ruiz In the early 1960s a determined high school athlete from Michigan named John Paciorek set his sights on a successful Major League baseball career and was, by all indications, on his way there. But chronic back problems and a subsequent spinal surgery quelled that ambition and led him in a far different direction from where he started.

Paciorek was born in Detroit, the eldest of eight children to a father who worked at an automotive factory and a stay-at-home

mother. They were so out to be the only game poor there were times Paciorek would ever when they had to rely play in Major League on government welfare baseball. The persistent assistance.

Dr. Robert Nafie, headmaster, says “John Paciorek took over a physical education and interscholastic sports program that was lacking direction and vitality in 1976. Through his leadership and vision he has inspired multiple generations of Clairbourn students and San Marino-area young people to see physical conditioning and competitive sports as a life-long pursuit.

Joe and Elizabeth Talamo Welcome Baby Vincent to the Family

The Talamo’s had a busy weekend, to say the least.

Joe, a 26 year old Jockey from Louisiana, was preparing Saturday morning for the infamous Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita Race Track.

His wife Elizabeth, however, days past her due date, attended the Breeders’ cup in hopes to see her husband Joe, riding Melatonin, pull off an upset victory over the favorite California Chrome.

Joe finished 5th in the race but one could imagine how little that resonated with him due to the fact that the very next day Elizabeth took to twitter announcing to the world, “Introducing Vincent James Talamo!

Born at 9:56 A.M. weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces. We are so in love!”

Vincent was chosen because the couple wanted a traditional Italian name, so they landed on Vincent; James, on the other hand, came from Elizabeth’s grandfather.

Joe Talamo Re-tweeted the picture of his new born with the caption: “My little

Clairbourn. In his honor, the school will construct an aptly named Coach Paciorek Bat 1.000 Batting Cage. It will be at once a symbol of his lasting influence on Clairbourn and the school community’s loving tribute to him.

John Paciorek’s imprint

will be etched for ages not only in the minds of kids aspiring to greatness but of all young people he inspired to reach for a dream. It may be a legacy far more significant than a record of a perfect game in “The Baseball Encyclopedia.”
