arlier this week the Music Mobile of the Pasadena Conservatory of Music visited Wild Rose Elementary School in Monrovia. For many of the third grade students who participated
in the program, it was a first exposure to music, especially orchestral music. The Music Mobile is funded by the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts. Crystal Peralta of the Conservatory introduced
more than forty students in each of two groups to the four families of the orchestra and outlined a few of the characteristics of each group. For each group she had an illustration to help the students understand
how each worked and what sorts of sounds the instruments make. For the strings she illustrated her words with a demonstration of showing how the sounds of the cello were used to make cartoon sound tracks. And
that was only one example. Peralta has the student forming their lips in the correct position to play the various wind and brass instruments. She showed SEE PAGE 10

City Attorney Mike Feuer today announced the City of Los Angeles has joined a coalition of local municipalities opposed to President Trump’s revised Executive Order commonly known as the travel ban. The Cities of Chicago, New York and Los Angeles joined with jurisdictions across the nation in an amicus brief in State of Washington, et al. v. Donald J. Trump, et al. filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. "All the window dressing in the world won't magically transform a travel ban that's unconstitutional at its core into a lawful order," said Feuer. "Los Angeles proudly stands with cities across the nation at this perilous time, when many of our nation's most fundamental principles hang in the balance.”

“The travel ban targets people indiscriminately and is far out of step with the values of religious tolerance and

POLICE BLOTTERS MONROVIA March 10 At 5:08 p.m., police received notification of a threatening post on a social media site that displayed handguns with a caption reading, "I've had enough, getting ready for Monday MHS." Officers contacted the high school and officers interviewed the students that received the post. Some of the students replied to the post on the site, telling the individual that it was no joking matter and how serious the situation was due to the posting. At 8:24 p.m., a vehicle was reported stolen from the 1300 block of South Magnolia. The victim parked his vehicle on the street in the evening, locking the doors and making sure he rolled up the windows. When he came out the next morning at 7:30 a.m., the vehicle was gone. He did not give anyone permission to take the vehicle, a 2006 Acura. The investigation is continuing.
At 11:18 p.m., an officer was on patrol in the 300 block of South Myrtle when he saw a subject sleeping in the park covered up by a blanket.

The female signed a refusal to prosecute, but wanted an emergency protection order, which was granted. At 7:59 a.m., the victim of petty theft reported her cell phone missing. She stated that she last had her cell phone at a gas station at Mountain and Huntington. Officers used the Find my iPhone app and located her phone at a park in the 600 block of South Shamrock. The officers detained a homeless person in possession of the phone, who said he found the cell phone at the gas station. The victim said the cell phone was in her pocket the whole time while she was at the station. The suspect was arrested for misappropriation of lost property. At 11:59 a.m., a traffic collision with injuries was reported at Palm and Mayflower. Two subjects were taken to the hospital for complaint of pain.
At 9:16 p.m., an officer was dispatched to Magnolia and Colorado on the report of a subject sleeping on the ground. The subject was located and found to be intoxicated. He was arrested for being drunk in public. March 12
At 1:38 p.m., a theft of tools was reported in the 100 block of Acacia. The victim parked his work truck with tool storage boxes on the street the day before and the tool boxes were locked.

locks on the truck. The investigation is continuing.

Letter to the Editor: Why I’m Supporting Phil Hosp for Pasadena City Council Dear Editor, First, I would like to express my profound thanks to those who voted for me in the Primary Election of 2017. It has been an honor to participate in this process and to meet many of you during the course of this campaign. This election became a referendum on 2 issues: development and transparency in city government. These subjects came up repeatedly and resulted in a contentious debate on more than one occasion. I have carefully considered my decision and have concluded that we really need a change at City Hall. Just recently, several projects were approved by the City Council, in a manner that has shown an absolute contempt for basic democratic values and the notion of public consent. One can only assume that this is because a powerful group of real estate speculators have been exercising too much influence over the affairs of our city. Therefore, the time has come for the people of Pasadena to take serious, corrective action. We can do this by voting for Phil Hosp at the runoff election on April 18. Most of us do not like negative campaigns, but a strong offense becomes necessary when a cabal of party insiders, big money interests and fake progressive groups, triangulate
their interests to subvert the democratic process, loot the public treasury and then laugh all the way to the bank. I don’t believe Andy is a bad person and this is certainly not an indictment of his character, but recent events have shown that it’s time for a new voice on the City Council and the people of Pasadena need to be assured that the business of our city is being conducted with fairness and transparency. I will vote for Phil at the runoff election on April 18 and hope you will too. - Bryan Witt
Reader Responds to New Columnist’s first article ‘Why Law Enforcement Needs Reinforcement’ Dear Editor, Jordan Yassine’s article draws our attention to “serving” and “protecting” words to which anyone can attach whatever meaning they want. Yes, the motto of peace officers nationwide is “to serve and protect.” But, as Mr. Yassine postulates ... to serve and protect white folks only? Since the Age of Enlightenment, most civilized nations have come to realize that punishing criminals only hardens them and makes them worse. Thus, they discarded the theory of punishment and turned instead to rehabilitation. Nevertheless, that worthy alternative (again as Mr. Yassine points out) needs to be continually reinforced by all societies with pretensions of having abandoned
barbarism in favor of justice. What a pity that so many citizens insist that police officers are innocent of wrongdoing, even when they kill an unarmed person and put the blame on a rush of adrenalin when they feel their lives are at risk. What those citizens fail to realize, however, is that the people gunned down by white officer are mostly black. - David Quintero

The Golden Twenties: Portraits and Figure Paintings by Joseph Kleitsch (March 5 – August 6, Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA), 490 E. Union St., Pasadena) The career of Joseph Kleitsch (1882–1931) is often categorized into two parts: his early work as a portraitist in his native Hungary and in Chicago and his impressionist landscapes painted in California during his later years. However, Kleitsch continued to paint figurative works after his move to California in 1920 and was considered the premiere portrait painter in the artist’s haven of Laguna Beach until his untimely death in 1931. The Golden Twenties is the first museum exhibition to assemble Kleitsch’s remarkable portraits and figure paintings. With a jewel-toned palette influenced by his native Hungary and a lighter, golden palette developed after his arrival in California, the works demonstrate the artist’s exceptional ability to

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT The Shakespeare Club Puts on Pajama Game Next Weekend
8 |MARCH 16, 2017 - MARCH 22 2017
BeaconMediaNews.com
By Susan Montander For over 60 years, the Shakespeare Club of Pasadena has presented full scale Broadway Musicals and donated the proceeds to many local charities. In keeping with their Mission Statement of “providing cultural enrichment and philanthropic support to the community”, The Shakespeare Club of Pasadena will be presenting their 70th benefit performance, another Broadway Musical favorite, The Pajama Game (MYI International) on March 24, 25 and 26, 2017. This musical is based on the novel 7½ Cents by Rich-
ard Bissell and the book is by George Abbott and Richard Bissell; the music and lyrics are by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The Production Staff will be; Director - Bill Shaw; Choreographer - Rikki Luggo; and Music Director – Brigham Freeth. It will be presented at the Louise K. Taylor Performing Arts Center in Monrovia and will feature a live orchestra, beautiful sets and costumes and an exciting talented cast of Club members and volunteer friends. They will be donating net proceeds to their Scholarship Fund for graduating seniors in the Pas-
adena Unified School District. Each year a check is presented to four carefully selected graduating seniors in preparation for college. Organized in 1888, The Shakespeare Club has the honor of being the oldest Women’s Club in Pasadena. In 1907, the Club provided and maintained a women’s “rest room” in the downtown district of Pasadena. They helped form Juvenile Court, raised funds for a Truancy Officer, started children’s playgrounds, and helped pass child labor and curfew laws. The Club has had much
to do with the organizing of the Pasadena Humane Society and holds a life membership in that organization. In 1928, the Shakespeare Club donated the land and built “Rosemary Cottage”, making it a home to 19 teenage girls. Today they continue to work closely with the residents of Rosemary Cottage through the recent organization of the Green House Guild. During the First World War, Club Members made garments for soldiers under the direction of the Red Cross. The ladies also spent many hours preparing jellies and jams and
other homemade goodies, to send to the soldiers. In 1913, they established a public market for small producers to sell their goods. It was through their efforts that many sanitation and pure food regulations were established. One of the oldest Club traditions is the association with the Tournament of Roses, which began in 1897, contributing toward prizes each year and serving picnic lunches in Tournament Park to visitors. The Club entered its first float, a decorated carriage, in 1906, and four prize-winning floats in
1929 - 1932. The Queen’s Luncheon, held yearly at the Club and has been a tradition since January 1952. In 1954, the Club founded the “Annual Scholarship Awards”, presenting scholarships to four outstanding high school graduates in Pasadena. Throughout the year, the Philanthropy Department works hard to raise money for the needy and underprivileged of Pasadena. Each Christmas, the Club donates toys and clothing to children in need and raises monies for worthy non-profit organizations.

Ready (Artwork), Set, Go! By Emily G. Peters
S
tarting a business takes guts. Success requires passion and patience to plow through the challenges. But just because someone loves their work doesn’t mean they know how to brand or market it. Ready Artwork in Monrovia bridges that gap. Founded by Victor Huynh and Emily Au in 2003, this premier website design and marketing company’s mission is to help businesses succeed. Huynh and Au’s story sounds uncommon. As graphic design graduates fresh out of Cal Poly Pomona, the pair worked day jobs in public relations while balancing design gigs on the side. As more clients came, they grew increasingly excited about where their freelance work could lead. “We found dealing with multiple brands very fun and creative. Before long, we were working 16 hours a day, seven days a week,” said Huynh. “We decided that we were young and passionate enough to take the risk. So without any investments other than the clients we had on hand and a lot of drive, we rented our first tiny studio in Pasadena.” Now in its fourteenth year of business, this start-up style company has grown legs. Focusing on small to medium businesses, they create endto-end branding solutions to help businesses attract customers and close sales. They specialize in graphic design, website development, digital marketing, master rep services, search engine optimization and content creation. Simply put, any business can come to Ready Artwork and leave armed with a brand toolkit
to help spread the word and drive sales. Those businesses have come from all over Southern California, and even internationally. Their industries span the gamut: gourmet food brands, e-commerce sites, cosmetics companies and even Adobe Systems have partnered with Ready Artwork. Rather than building cookiecutter websites and marketing campaigns, Ready Artwork shapes each client’s image according to its unique benefits, services and audience. That respect for each client’s individuality is a function of Ready Artwork’s straightforward mantra: “Be humble. Have fun. Give a d—.” As the Ready Artwork team continues to expand, it’s clear the mantra is making an impact. In 2015, they moved from San Gabriel to Monrovia where they purchased their own storefront—no mean feat in any economy. “We decided that we were going to invest in a building and a long term home for Ready Artwork,” said Huynh, who now sits on the board of directors for Monrovia’s Chamber of Commerce. “We fell in love with the energy and the friendliness of the city, and are very happy with our choice.” Indeed, energy is a defining characteristic of the Ready Artwork team. They hunger to be a major driving force in the local economy—a mission which Huynh credits to his and Au’s upbringings. “We both come from immigrant families that struggled financially,” he said. “Our work is that much more valuable knowing we’ve contributed to families taking home a
paycheck at the end of the day. Being a part of the success of a business owner’s dream— it’s incredibly fulfilling.” Ready Artwork is located at 434 W. Foothill Blvd. in Monrovia. Learn more about how they can help your business at www.readyartwork. com | 626.400.4511 | and follow their team on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram @ ReadyArtwork.
The energetic Ready Artwork team is driven by the simple tenets of working hard, being humble, and caring deeply for their clients’ success. - Courtesy photos

them how to hold the various stringed instruments and illustrated the way to play the various xylophones, drums and maracas that make up part of the percussion family. Then the students were allowed to experiment. In groups of ten or so each, the students approached each of the four tables on which the instruments were laid out. The students were then encouraged to pick up the instruments and play then. Each students had a chance to play at least one member of each group. The resulting music was joyous, perhaps a bit more cacophonous than symphonic, but the students were enthusiastic. In each group it was always a young boy you headed for the snare drum, and somehow the smallest girl in each group ended up with the tuba. It was delightful…loud, but happy. The “music” the students created can be described as a rather enthusiastic melding of various tones: squeaks, squawks, screeches, and blats with a continuous underlay of giggles and joy. Beyond all else, the students enjoyed themselves and appreciated the sounds they produced. Between groups, when Peralta was

asked why she enjoyed introducing the children to the orchestra, bit by bit, she explained that she had not had much exposure to instrumental music growing up until she reached Middle School. “If children are not exposed to these things, they cannot not know if they have a desire to play an instrument. This is a chance for them to see if they have a passion for music,” she said. This is only one project of the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts. Each year the group opens a redecorated home for tours. The proceeds from the sale of tickets fund not only the Music Mobile to introduce third grade students to the orchestra, but also a concert for fourth graders at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. They also provide scholarships to music students as well as funding small grants for music and art programs throughout the area. Showcase has been doing this for more than fifty years. Tickets are already available on line for this year’s house. The House will be open from April 25th through May 21st.

viewed by Monrovia Police Officers according to Captain Alan Sanvictores, The student who sent the “tweet” was also thoroughly interviewed, counseled regarding his behavior and allowed to remain with his parents. Sanvictores said that the student indicated he had been visiting with a friend who owned several “BB” guns. He sent the photo of the guns and the message as what he called a “joke” and that he had done it to get attention on the internet site. Despite what was re-
ported on the internet that the police had “raided the home of the friend who owned the BB guns,” Sanvictores said that Monrovia Police Officers had confiscated the BB guns in the course of the interview with the friend. The case will be presented to the District Attorney’s Office for consideration regarding filing charges against the young man who posted the message. The BB guns are being held as for their potential evidential value in the prosecution. According to Sanvic-
tores, Monrovia Police worked throughout the weekend to ensure that the threat against the high school was merely a prank. Later, on Tuesday, Sanvictores reported that the juvenile suspect had been arrested that day, under suspicion of making criminal threats and booked at Monrovia Police Department. He was soon released to the custody of his parents. The case will still under review by the District Attorney’s office as of late Wednesday.

Old Town Report Continued from page 1
this Friday, March 17, is FUZZFEST at our Monrovia Street Fair. The event will be located on E. Colorado between the Monrovian and Rudy’s, and is sure to be a huge success. Come on down and watch your friends get their heads shaved in the name of Childhood Cancer Prevention Research! And, speaking of Street Fair, there are more possible changes coming. There is a proposal on the table to move the entire show north to Library Park and the 300 block of Myrtle Avenue (plus maybe east and west Lime). This is a big move, and there are mixed feelings about its success or failure. The City is just in the planning stages right now, working with our Street Fair contractor, Raw Inspirations, but merchant and public input is really going to be valuable on this issue. Please send your comments either to me, or one of our merchant representatives (Diane Balsamo, Prime Lending; Kristin Miller, Charlie’s House; Ricky Jurado, Merengue; Soren Loft, Old Town Bistro, or Millie Olivas, Teles Properties). You can also comment via this newspaper. The future of our “atmospheric” street music in Old Town is still in limbo
with no decision being made at this morning’s MOTAB (Monrovia Old Town Advisor Board) meeting. The comments from the MOTAB representatives as well as from the public were supportive of music in general, as well as the idea of spreading more music around town. Wednesday nights still seem to be the favorite day. I for one hope this issue is settled soon … Upcoming events include Spring Bunny Photos in Library Park on Saturday, April 15 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. The Guest of Honor will be none other than Old Town’s resident “Easter Bunny” who wishes to remain anonymous, but she is a member of the MOTAB team and her initials are DB … Photos will be free of charge and will be emailed to our guests – or, they may choose to take their own photos with their cell phones or cameras. And, yes, pets are welcome. I’m bringing my Bearded Dragons … Next on the list is the Monrovia Old Town Wine Walk (first ever for us) to be held the evening of Saturday, August 26. During my last discussion of this event I reported that MOTAB had decided to purchase the wine outside of Old Town, but I am extremely pleased to report
that the wine will be purchased in Old Town. Thank you, MOTAB – now you can count me in! The Annual Old Town Car Show, presented by Street Rods Forever almost every year since 2002, was approved by MOTAB this morning. Street Rods and the City have been working closely together to ensure the safety of our visitors, and the plan looks good. So – September 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., from Palm Ave. to Walnut Ave., Street Rods Forever will bring us approximately 300 classic cars and a DJ with music to liven up the crowd. There will be a special presentation from the Monrovia PD tonight (Tuesday, March 14th) on Homelessness and Park Conduct (I believe with emphasis on Library Park in Old Town). Special thanks to Council Member Becky Shevlin who prompted this report to the Community Services Commission in response to major concerns expressed by the community at City Council meetings and on FB. I’ll report back on any updates in next week’s column. And one more comment: Thank you, City of Monrovia, for deciding to send out group emails to keep us all informed!

California School Dashboard Debuts, Provides Multiple Measures of School Performance and Progress The State Board of Education (SBE) and the California Department of Education (CDE) today unveiled the California School Dashboard, a new Web site that provides parents, educators, and the public with important in-
formation they can use to evaluate schools and school districts in an easy-to-understand report card format. The California School Dashboard is a critical piece of California’s new school accountability and continuous
improvement system. The state’s former accountability system—the Academic Performance Index (API)—relied exclusively on standardized tests and gave schools a single score. That system was suspended three years ago.
“The California School Dashboard provides local communities with meaningful and relevant information on how well schools and districts are doing,” said State Board of Education President Michael W. Kirst. “It will help in local decision-making by highlighting both the progress of schools and student groups, shining a light on disparities and helping stakeholders pinpoint where resources should be directed. “As exciting a develop-
ment as this is, it’s important to understand that the California School Dashboard itself is a work in progress. It will be a far more valuable tool one year from now and three years from now than it is today as more indicators come online, as feedback is incorporated, and as improvements are made,” Kirst said. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson called the launch a “historic milestone” in preparing students for success in 21st
century college and careers. “The California School Dashboard is a resource unlike anything we’ve ever had before. I think of it as a high-tech report card for our schools. Just as our children receive report cards with multiple grades in multiple subject areas, the California School Dashboard provides us with many different measures of a school’s performance— where it’s strong, where it needs to improve, how it’s doing over time.
Arcadia Unified Digital Communications Interns Receive Statewide Recognition
A group of talented Arcadia High School students is honored with a prestigious communications award that is typically reserved for seasoned public relations professionals. The Arcadia Unified School District and its Digital Communications Internship (DCI) program were recently honored by the California School Public Relations Association (CalSPRA) at its annual awards dinner held in Sacramento. Arcadia Unified's DCI students received an "Award of Excellence" in CalSPRA's Excellence in Communications program. "I am beyond proud of the job our students did on this project, and am grateful that CalSPRA recognized
them for their very creative and important work," said Arcadia Unified School District Public Information Officer Ryan Foran who created and oversees DCI. "This was a major project that we spent a lot of time on, and more importantly, it will save our district money and afford more students’ access to Chromebooks and technology." The "Award of Excellence," the highest distinction available, was earned in the Multimedia / Visual Communication category for the creation of "DCI Chromebook Care Video." After completing a threeyear, 1:1 technology rollout, where every student and teacher in the district

received their own Chromebook to work with, the number of repairs being made was higher than anticipated for the roughly 10,000 Chromebooks distributed throughout the District. "We needed to get the word to our students about a few simple but important tips and techniques that would reduce the number of repairs we were making to the Chromebooks," explained Arcadia Unified's Chief Technology Officer Scott Bramley. “I’ve seen the impressive work produced by DCI, and knew they would do a great job with this project.” DCI turned the chalSEE PAGE 13

lenge into an opportunity and created a very informative yet entertaining video about proper Chromebook care. The video, which has well over 2,000 views on YouTube, was sent to all AUSD parents, students, and teachers, and was also watched and discussed in classrooms throughout the District. After the release of the video, damage reports significantly decreased. Alongside Foran, AHS juniors Naomi Silver and Melanie Mak, two-year DCI veterans, led the project as co-executive producers, with Silver also serving as lead video editor. Twelve other DCI students worked on the video as segment producers, actors, and contributors. These students include: Adele Ng, Alan Zhang, Derek Jing, Nick Marshall, Jack Wu, Jarett Yip, Jeremy Du, Kelly Li, Sarah Wang, Seongwook Jang, Troy Nguyen, and Katie Wen. The Arcadia Unified Digital Communications Internship program was created in the spring of 2015 and is an integral part of Arcadia Unified's
Communications and Public Information Office. DCI has grown from its first intern, Arcadia High senior Travis Chen, to 41 Apaches now participating in the program. The interns help cover the many events that occur throughout the district through digital communications, helping tell the many positive stories of Arcadia Unified's students, teachers, and staff. "It's more important now than ever that schools share our stories, to help parents connect with their children's schools and to help taxpayers see how districts are spending their precious resources. CalSPRA's Award of Excellence winners are at the top of their class, successfully building support for and creating an understanding of our public schools," said CalSPRA President Music Watson. CalSPRA is a nationally recognized leader in school communications that promotes better public understanding, commitment, and support of public education through effective communications.

Jersey Mike’s in Pasadena and Monrovia among restaurants hosting “Month of Giving” in March
O
peration Gratitude and City of Hope are joining forces with 116 Jersey Mike’s Subs restaurants in the Los Angeles, Fresno and Santa Barbara areas for the 7th Annual March “Month of Giving” fundraising campaign. During the month of March, customers can make a donation to: • Operation Gratitude (113 L.A. / Fresno / Santa Barbara area locations) • City of Hope (three locations in Hollywood, North Hollywood and Northville) For a complete list of participating restaurants in your area and for more information on our charity partners, please visit our charity listing by state . The campaign will culminate in Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday,
March 29, when the local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will donate 100 percent of the day’s sales – every single dollar that comes in – to Operation Gratitude and City of Hope. Throughout the country, on Day of Giving, Jersey Mike’s locations will donate 100 percent of sales to nearly 150 different charities including hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more.

Millennials and Baby Boomers Approach Pregnancy Very Differently
T
he millennial momto-be uses an app to track her fertility and pregnancy progress, pins nursery ideas on Pinterest and researches baby gear on YouTube. She reads online advice on everything from what to eat (or not), to when to talk to a doctor about prescription prenatal vitamins and what to do with the placenta after delivering. Never without a smartphone in hand, armed with an app for everything, always connected or "on," millennials were born in an era of emerging technology between 1980 and 1995, and have grown up in an ever-increasing digitally enhanced environment.But what does this over-abundance of connectivity and information mean for the digitalsavvy millennial mom-to-be? For nearly 60 percent it means there is too much conflicting advice on tips for a healthy pregnancy, according to a recent poll. 500 millennials and 500 baby boomers were asked to reveal details on their approach to pregnancy in the poll by Exeltis, which produces the number one doctor recommended prescription prenatal vitamin, Vitafol. While sifting through all the information available today was overwhelming to expectant millen-
nials, only 36.2 percent of baby boomer moms, whose pregnancies were "pre-Google" and social media, felt this way. In addition, in our constantly connected world it's common for people to dispense unsolicited advice to expectant moms. Twice as many millennial moms report they received advice while they were pregnant that they disregarded or didn't agree with as compared to baby boomer moms. That's why it's no surprise that with so much (often conflicting) sought-out and unsolicited information and advice, 51.8 percent of millennials said they had a hard time deciding which pregnancy advice to believe. "We have so much more information than they did years ago," said one millennial in the study. "I feel like millennial moms have a lot more pressure placed on them to do everything 'right.'"Thus, despite the advances in technology that make their pregnancies different (or perhaps, more likely, because of it), millennial moms are turning to their own mothers for advice, even more than their mothers turned to the generation before them. Millennials are using the "Grandma Filter" to essentially qualify and validate
information that they are receiving from other sources. When it comes to preparing for parenting, millennials turn to their mother/mother figure more than any other resource on a variety of topics, including emotional/family concerns, relationship advice and determining what to register for. And, millennial moms turn to their mother nearly three times more often than baby boomer moms would have regarding financial concerns in preparing for a new baby. Still, there are some elements of pregnancy that have remained unchanged. More than half of all millennial and baby boomer mothers polled prepared for pregnancy by taking a childbirth class. More than 97 percent of millennial moms and 92 percent of boomer moms took prenatal vitamins. In addition, 80 percent of both groups recognize prescription prenatal vitamins are the right choice for any pregnant mother. Which all indicates that regardless of when they are pregnant, moms ultimately want what is best for her baby, but deciding what that is might best be determined with a slight tweak to the adage. In fact, "Mama's MAMA knows best."

Stop the Presses!
Pasadena Community College’s ‘Courier’ Capitulates to Technology By Terry Miller
I
t with great sadness, that I – as someone who allegedly has ‘ink in his blood’ – found out last week that PCC’s long history of publishing a newspaper has been halted as of last Friday. A colleague alerted me to Andre Coleman’s piece in the Pasadena Weekly about PCC’s decision the print the final student newspaper last Friday, after 100 years. Yes, the digital demons have caught up to a U.S. college campus which use to be the last bastion of protest and now appears to be something oh so completely different, to paraphrase Monty Python’s Flying Circus’ John Cleese. We contacted the Courier’s journalism adviser, Nathan McIntire , Visual Arts and Media Studies at PCC about the dilemma. “I definitely understand your sadness about this and I share it, but it's also been a decision we've considered for a long time. It's hard to justify a print edition when I ask a class of budding journalists if they read a printed newspaper and literally zero
“ ... no mobile-first strategy has come close to matching the success of print in revenue or readership…” - Michael Rosenwald hands pop up. So we decided to focus on teaching them the skills they need to compete in the current, evolving news environment where digital tools are so much more important than page design. “But do not fret! Our program remains strong (we were recognized by the Journalism Association of Community Colleges last year as one of the four best community college student publications in the state) and fully funded by the school. It's a change for sure, but one I think will better prepare students for the industry.” Well said, Nathan. However, I did a little research and also found out a former employer of mine in 1994 with a 187 year history of printing a newspaper (Five Cities Times
Press Recorder … In Pismo Beach) also ran the very last printed edition of the paper of record for those cities last Friday. Indeed a moment for sadness and remembrance. “They don’t make news the way they used to ….” I can hear my Dad saying. With the advent of a rather strange new administration where journalists are the “enemy of the people” and anything the Trump administration doesn’t like is either considered “fake news.” Worse yet, seasoned journalists are actually being handpicked by Spicer for favorable White House gaggle coverage. What’s wrong with that? ... Everything! McIntyre also added this to the mix:

“I hear you. It's funny because the students here love seeing their name in actual print, but never actually read print publications. So it's associated with legitimacy or prestige because they are so used to being able to publish anything they want to blogs, social media and other web platforms. And you make a good point about the printed archive. Digital archives are so much easier to search, but the chance that everything could be wiped out is also frightening.” But it’s a much deeper issue and touches at the heart of the Fourth Estate. According to California Journalism Review: “A Breitbart news editor called the publication he recently joined “the most innovative and exciting source of journalism in America” on Friday, calling out mainstream media bias and inaccuracy while accepting no similar responsibility for the misleading and at times incendiary work for which his organization is criticized. “The real threat to public confidence in the media is all these demonstrably false stories that our colleagues have produced,” Breitbart economics editor John Carney told a packed audience at Columbia Journalism School. “I don’t think you’re reading a lot of false news in Breitbart.” “Two decades have passed since newspapers launched websites …” says Michael Rosenwald who wrote a marvelous piece for CJR recently. “And yet here we are. Big
All is quiet on the editorial front.
city papers have gone under, thousands of journalists have lost their jobs, and the idea that digital news will eventually become a decent business feels like a rumor. The reality is this: No app, no streamlined website, no “vertical integration,” no social network, no algorithm, no Apple, no Apple Newsstand, no paywall, no soft paywall, no targeted ad, no mobile-first strategy has come close to matching the success of print in revenue or readership. And the most crucial assumption publishers have made about readers, particularly millennials - that they prefer the immediacy of digital - now seems questionable, too.”
