onrovia’s Literacy Van will continue to roll during the summer months, but in a slightly different role. The van has been going to the local elementary schools for the last several months since it was introduced to the commu-
nity. Now its use will change slightly. It will be augmenting the summer school programs at the elementary schools and will be used for special events as well. Since the program began several months ago, the van has been going to a different elementary school each SEE LITERACY VAN PAGE 12

whose mission is to raise the community's awareness of suicide and other related mental health issues. At a recent Duarte Kiwanis meeting, founding member Mary Ann Lutz shared the ongoing support Healing Connections is providing throughout the area. The volunteers visit local schools, SEE HEALING PAGE 13

Final report card season is underway and each Arcadia Unified school has made it onto the 2017 - 2018 Educational Results Partnership (ERP) Honor Roll. Of the nearly 130 school districts represented on ERP’s Scholar Honor Roll list, Arcadia Unified is the only school district to have each of its schools honored with this distinction. “What a fantastic way to end the school year,” said Arcadia Unified Superintendent Dr. David Vannasdall. “We are very grateful for this recognition. It illuminates the tireless work our teachers, counselors, and staff do to achieve our purpose of challenging and inspiring students to make a positive and profound impact on their world.” Sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE), ERP conducted an extensive analysis of student data for every public school
in California, a process that included examining nearly 10,500 schools. From this research, ERP named 1,798 public schools to its 2017 2018 Honor Roll. ERP’s Honor Roll includes Arcadia High, Baldwin Stocker Elementary, Camino Grove Elementary, Dana Middle School, First Avenue Middle School, Foothills Middle School, Highland Oaks Elementary, Holly Avenue Elementary, Hugo Reid Elementary, and Longley Way Elementary; making Arcadia Unified the only school district on the Scholar Honor Roll to have every one of its comprehensive schools receive this recognition. “Educational success must be data-informed,” said Greg Jones, ERP and CBEE board chairman. “These Honor Roll schools and districts are improving student achievement, and we have the data to prove it. It’s critical that the business community support and promote educational success as today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce.” ERP is a nonprofit organization that applies data science to help improve

‘Space Race Run/Walk’ Returns to Pasadena
Run to support youth participation in STEAM On June 16 the 2nd Annual Space Race Run/Walk 5K/10K returns to Hahamongna Watershed Park. “Space Race: Mission Possible” will raise funds to help local youth gain access and exposure to STEAM programs and careers. Lace up your running (or walking) shoes and meet at the starting line to help inspire students to shoot for the stars. The race offers a five kilometer loop and a 10 kilometer loop, paved and unpaved, along the Watershed Park area trail. In elementary, middle, and high school, girls and boys take math and science courses in roughly equal numbers. However, historically the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics have been, and still are, predominantly white and male. Many social, economic, and environmental factors contribute to the under representation of women and people of color in science and engineering as undergraduates, in the workforce, and particularly at the
upper levels of these professions. Your participation in “Space Race Run 2018” will help local student and youth access local STEAM programs and consider careers as scientists and engineers. Proceeds from this event will support student success by providing access to: -Tutoring in math and science. -STEAM Internships. -College tours. -Grants to engage in science and math focused programs. -Arts to encourage students to think creatively and critically.
You can register now at www. SpaceRaceRun.org. About the Beneficiary: Day One has a 30-year history of creating vibrant healthy communities by empowering youth, and is committed to providing students with opportunities and experiences that inspire awareness, exploration, and preparation for their future careers. Day One has partnered with Champions for Change, a statewide movement inspiring California’s families to make healthy lifestyle changes, to offer Zumba, yoga, and food

demonstrations for this event as part of a Healthy Communities Initiative to foster a healthy sustainable lifestyle for the City of Pasadena and the greater San Gabriel Valley. Local businesses and organizations will also be participating as exhibitors to showcase exciting projects in the field. Event managers Aztlan Athletics have managed community-based events since 1974. Why should you participate, and why is STEAM important? STEAM is an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. The end results are students who take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problemsolving, embrace collaboration, and work through the creative process. These are the innovators, educators, leaders, and learners of the 21st century.

How to Sell High: Avoid these Three Mistakes When Selling Your Home Alhambra - When you decide to sell your home, setting your optimal asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Price is often the first thing a prospective buyer sees, and many homes are passed over as “not in our price range” before the home even has a chance of being shown. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make an excellent first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds,
and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. Comparing against what other homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part of the process, and by itself is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision. A recently study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need).” This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three

Pasadena Playhouse Explores Immigration Issues in Culture Clash’s ‘Bordertown Now’ May s. ruiz
I
MayChu@att.net
mmigration is a hotbutton topic that touches the lives of all Americans. It is a subject politicians exploit on the campaign trail as much as it is a well from which activists draw causes to fight for. And it is the theme that the comedy troupe Culture Clash explores in ‘Bordertown Now’ at The Pasadena Playhouse. On stage through June 24 “Bordertown Now” takes an irreverent look at the people at the center of the controversial issues and the walls that divide us. Infused with their trademark satirical approach; the country’s top Chicano/Latino performance trio messes with the boundaries of theatre and comedy to break down the divisions between cultures. Danny Feldman, Pasadena Playhouse Producing Artistic Director, says “For more than a year, the immigration debate has been in the news on a daily basis. It is so rare to be able to present a new work that directly responds to our everchanging world. Who better

to examine this issue than the iconic troupe Culture Clash, making their Playhouse debut. Through humor, satire, sentiment, and curiosity, they manage to bring us closer to the humanity at the center of the border issues.” Richard Montoya explains the group’s roots: “I co-founded Culture Clash on Cinco de Mayo in 1984 in San Francisco’s Mission District at a historic Latin quarter in a small art gallery. Art is very much a part of our vibe. “We first produced ‘Bordertown’ two decades ago and while ‘Bordertown

Now’ is billed as a re-imagination of that, about 70 percent of this show is new because political awareness and interest about the border have grown in intensity. During the last year or so, I’ve been busy on the border interviewing sheriffs, agents, and the people who are caring for those who are crossing the border.” “The landscape and the cast remain the same but besides that, policing around the area has changed rapidly,” continues Montoya. “Armed personnel presence on the border has increased so much that it has become
a military situation. At the same time, the danger brought on by the drug cartel has grown and so has the desperation of those caught in the middle. This scene is so different from that of my youth when there was a trolley service from San Diego to Tijuana.” “We’re not saying that borders don’t exist, because they do. Nor are we claiming we’re all equal, because we’re not. But we’re saying we’re all human beings – there are people caught in drug and human trafficking. We’re trying to show the human struggle, and the humanness outside of the headline. We want to take the measurement of their lives, and not treat them as simply data. And, as artists, we want to keep alive the hope and show that we care about all these,” declares Montoya. Culture Clash’s ‘Bordertown Now’ examines subjects that are timely and of significance. It puts a human face to the immigration issue. Would that people see it, take it to heart, and seize the opportunity to play a part in chipping away at the borders that divide us from each other.

Danny Feldman Leads the Pasadena Playhouse Into its Next Hundred Years May s. ruiz
T
MayChu@att.net
he venerable Pasadena Playhouse, the State Theatre of California, is observing its centennial. It is a milestone only a handful of theatre institutions in the country have reached, which is why Producing Artistic Director Danny Feldman can’t help but speak in awe of its past as well as its place in history. Feldman states: “The Playhouse has survived world wars and has weathered financial challenges to continue to bring productions that enrich the community. It has been a leading center for theatre arts in America for a century but very few people realize its importance. It’s my job to tell people about it; it’s incumbent upon us to tell our story and history. And I’m excited to be taking us back to that journey. "When the Playhouse was first established there was a great level of investment particularly in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley that went on for a long time. People went door-to-door to raise money to build this structure because they were deeply attached to the work the theatre was doing. They were an active part of it and felt ownership of this.” “I want to think of the Playhouse’s next chapter as a transformation and I want to be careful when I talk about it,” declares Feldman. “We’re firmly rooted in the past and

we’ve had some real challenges that we’ve addressed head-on. I’m not someone who turns a corner and says ‘let’s forget the past’ because I want to remember it – there’s value to it. We’re a historical theatre and we have to honor our past but look at it with the lens of the future.” Feldman adds, “I think of myself as bridging those worlds and our programming demonstrates that. California is one of the most diverse places on the planet and the Playhouse is its State Theatre. I’m responsible for ensuring that our values and offerings demonstrate the core values of inclusion, diversity, and providing a space for more than just one thing. That’s inherent in who [we] are as an institution and I want to carry on that legacy.” “In the 1920s Gilmore Brown produced new plays here and in the 1940s he put on Tennessee Williams plays,” Feldman expounds. “He championed contemporary
playwrights and I’m continuing that. We have ‘Bordertown Now,’ a play refreshed and rewritten by modern-day artists from their work 20 years ago, to show the world we live in today. In a way it’s a transformation in taking core values deeply rooted in the past but aware of where we’re going in the future. We want to find the vitality that prevailed in the 1940s to the 1970s, which was the period the Playhouse had the most growth, and put our own distinctive stamp on it.” Brown established Pasadena Playhouse in 1917 and named it Pasadena Community Playhouse, safeguarding the entire neighborhood’s investment in it. And while it has achieved an international renown in the years hence, Danny Feldman is making it his mission to ensure that the community spirit on which it was founded lives on into its next century. Gilmore Brown would have been pleased.

weekday bringing the library to the students. Since it is Wi-Fi equipped, the youngsters can check books out of the van as if they were at the library itself. They can even get Library cards at the van. During summer school the van will be at Wild Rose Elementary School from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. on June 20 and 27, and July 11. It will also appear at Plymouth for its Camp Read-A-Lot summer program again from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. on June 21 and 28, and July 12. But the Literacy Van will also make special appear-
ances at other events such as the “Kick Off of the Summer Reading Program.” This will take place at Monrovia’s Station Square on June 14 starting at 6:30 p.m. It will also make an appearance at the Friday night festival on June 29. The van will be in Library Park on that day from 5 - 6:30 p.m. In a new outreach program begun earlier this month, the van is going to the Huntington Oaks Shopping Center on the first Saturday of each month. The initial appearance was last weekend and it will again show up at the Shopping Center on July 7 and August 4 from 10 a.m.
- noon. The van is the very public face of Monrovia Reads, the community’s non-profit dedicated to 100% literacy in the city. While sponsored by Monrovia Reads, the van was also made possible by generous donations from Foothill Credit Union and the Los Angeles New Car Dealers Association. Generous support also came from the Monrovia Library Foundation as well. The project would not be possible without the support of the City of Monrovia itself that supplies not only the staff for the van, but also the books in it (as well as the gas that powers it).
ild Rose Elementary School’s 5th graders celebrated their promotion last Friday. The Monrovia Board of Education used the occasion to announce that the school would focus even more on incorporating the arts into the common curriculum. Rather than being a traditional “magnet school,” Wild Rose will instead focus on integrating the visual arts into the regular curriculum. Dr. Leslie Miller, Principal at Wild Rose, explained that the school has already been deeply involved with the arts. As an example she cited the fact that the school had staged two productions last year. At the holiday season the entire school participated in a retelling of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” through music and then “Jungle Book” in the spring with the incorporation of vocal pieces

to accompany Kipling’s legendary story of the boy raised by wolves. Miller also explained that the school was looking to emphasize the arts to enrich the students’ regular classes. In third grade, students study American Indians and in fourth California history. She noted that the school now had access to a kiln to allow students to create pottery in the style
of several native people. She said she hoped these experiences would help the students to retain the information obtained in their regular lessons. “We want to expose students to the rich media of the visual arts,” she said. “I believe the students will better remember what they learn if they have an image to keep with the lessons.” SEE WILD ROSE PAGE 13

She went on to explain that she believed students would have a better understanding and appreciation for such things as Native American cultures if they were able to see dancers or
rituals rather than just read about them. The school has even started an art garden on one side of the campus along Heliotrope Avenue. Miller said that the students along with many of their teachers had started installing some
art pieces in the space including several hand decorated bird houses. “We are one of the oldest schools in Monrovia and we feel the arts can emphasize and accent that at Wild Rose’” Miller explained.

Gloria Crudgington said that the measure was “another example of our preparations for the future.” Crudgington said that City Manager Oliver Chi had assured her that the local hotel managers had agreed that the “hotel tax” would not bar individuals from staying in the
city. One concern that some voters voiced was that the funds raised by the increase would be restricted to the examples cited in the ballot measure statement. Crudgington explained that this was not the case as the monies were destined for the City’s general fund not restricted to public safety, parks and recreation, and senior services.

From Cal Tech to Westridge School to Vroman’s Bookstore, owners and best friends Scott Penn and Brad Cage have kept our neighborhoods gleaming for decades. “We learned how to paint houses from my father Gary Penn who was an industrial arts teacher at South Pasadena High School,” said Penn. “Every summer through high school and college, Brad and I would help my dad paint about 12 houses each summer. This is where we got our training.” So it’s no surprise that the pair, who met in second grade, would ultimately land on “Partnership Painting” as their business name: the embodiment of their work approach. The company (now grown significantly beyond just Penn and Cage) handles residential, commercial, interior, and exterior painting projects across Los Angeles, fueled by a team of men and women with some serious expertise under their belts. “We have a very experienced, conscientious crew of 20 painters, with our eight lead foremen working for our company on average more than 12 years. Our operations manager, Becky Ramirez, has worked with us for over 22 years and our office assistant Monica has been with us for four years. They all provide excellent

service,” said Penn. That hyper-focus on service stems in part from the fact that Penn and Cage have committed their entire professional careers to the craft. “We have never had any other employment experience in adult life besides working for ourselves,” he explained. “It’s been Partnership Painting since 1984.” Like so many independently owned businesses, their repeat/referral game is strong. About 70 percent of their business comes from word of mouth or comeback customers—making
it highly likely that you probably know someone who has hired the Partnership Painting team for a project. “We have more than 1,000 references all over San Gabriel Valley,” said Penn. “I love driving through town and pointing out places we have painted.” This longevity is also based on their ability to deliver on complex painting projects. As Penn observed, the logistics can be daunting and most people are hesitant to tackle the prep work involved with getting the painting right. Coming in to provide that
expertise is the ultimate high for the Partnership Painting crew. “Executing a large, complex job and seeing it through as you planned it is the most satisfying to us and to our customers. They rely on our expertise to get the job done right, the first time, without additional changes and charges,” he said. And just as Penn’s dad was the impetus to get Partnership Painting started, his words continue to influence the company’s work ethic today. “The best advice I ever received was from my dad,” said Penn. “‘Paint every house, school, room, or project as if it were your own.’” Partnership Painting is located at 25 Fulton Ave in Pasadena.

rcadia High School seniors, who donned their caps and gowns, went back to the future to their former elementary schools to do a graduation run to inspire the next generation of young people. The extremely vocal and excited elementary school children at Camino Grove were thrilled to see the big seniors right before they head off to graduation and college. The elementary pupils made
signs and high-fived the grads as they toured the school, twice. The seniors also visited with their former elementary teachers and shared some poignant moments. There are currently 700 students enrolled in kindergarten through fifth grade. It is one of six elementary schools within the Arcadia Unified School District. Camino Grove reflects the community and state in enjoying a diverse ethnic population. Camino Grove is proud of its many exciting programs and the progress of its students. The profes-
sional staff is committed to academic excellence and strives to provide an innovative instructional program that develops basic skills and critical and creative thinking abilities. In preparation for the challenges of the rapid technological advances of the next century, students must utilize technology to seek information and enhance learning. Camino Grove focuses on the meaningful integration of technology into a balanced curriculum that is challenging and designed to develop independent lifelong learners.
Hillsides Education Center (HEC), a therapeutic residential and non-public school in Pasadena, graduated 10 seniors. In an emotional ceremony on May 31, the students told of the many challenges they overcame to meet this milestone. The students spoke of the hardships they had encountered on the road to graduation, including deaths of family members and mental health issues. One young woman summed up the healing experience of HEC best when she said, “Hillsides helped me spread my wings. … Thank you for helping me become someone pretty great.” Nancy Stone, President

of the volunteer group Las Candelas that functions as HEC’s PTA, presented each student with a $200 gift card from Target as a graduation gift from the group. HEC, which offers individualized education for students
experiencing social-emotional, learning, and/or behavioral challenges, is one of the five core programs of Hillsides, a Southern California foster care and mental health charity. To learn more about HEC, visit www.hillsides.org.
Oak Crest Institute and Monrovia Host Junior Summer Researcher Academy This summer the City of Monrovia and Oak Crest Institute of Science are joining together to create a Junior
Researcher Summer Academy. Three separate sessions are planned for the program: June 25 -July 6, July 9 - July 20, and July 23 - August 3. The cost for each session is only $40 per student. The junior researchers will be exposed to a variety of scientific fields with hands-on experiences with professional research scientists. Students will be exposed to biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science. One proposed scenario the junior researchers might examine is that Rangers at Monrovia Canyon Park find
suspicious objects near the waterfall. The objects have unusual properties. The young people, utilizing scientific reasoning and sophisticated instruments, will attempt to determine if these artifacts could be of extraterrestrial origin. The sessions will take place at Oak Crest Institute, located at 132 W. Chestnut, from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. each day of the sessions. For answers to questions or to register for a session, contact the Monrovia Community Center at (626) 356-8246.

couple hours after landing at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport in Montana, we were sitting in The Cowboy Bar and Supper Club in the tiny town of Fishtail enjoying a big, juicy steak and reviewing our itinerary for the next week in Montana’s Yellowstone Country. My friend and I had come to Yellowstone Country to experience the great outdoors that lies just outside the boundary of Yellowstone National Park. We came to ride horses, rafts and ATV’s, to breathe fresh mountain air, to fly fish, and eat big steaks. Yellowstone Country is made up of five south-central and southwest Montana counties (Gallatin, Park, Sweet

Yellowstone Country lies in the shadow of the snowcapped Beartooth Mountains and offers everything for a perfect outdoor getaway. Our journey began at The Stillwater Lodge (www. stillwaterlodge.net ) in Absarokee, about 100 miles east of Bozeman. The lodge, which has six distinctive themed rooms, is host to people seeking a variety of Montana adventures and can assist guests with arrangements for fly fishing, backpacking, horse riding, and river rafting. Our rustic room came with a native lodge pole bed, antique furnishings, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, mini-fridge, and air conditioning. Surrounding the lodge is a valley full of moose, elk, deer, bighorn sheep, and coyotes running wild, while local rivers and lakes are great for

From here we hopped in a yellow raft with an expert guide and made our way 12 miles downriver. As we paddled and drifted down mostly level-3 rapids, we admired spectacular images of rocky gorges, riverfront cabins, and a spot where about 20 old covered chuck wagons line the banks. Back on land, we headed to the minute town of Roscoe for dinner at The Grizzly Bar. Located near a stream, the 50-year-old local establishment served up a Montanasized grilled center cut rib steak with a baked potato and a cold brew. My friend had fresh, hand cut Alaskan Salmon.
The next morning, we drove to the Fishtail General Store to purchase fishing licenses. From here we drove to the city of Red Lodge, where we hooked up with Paintbrush Adventures (www. paintbrushadventures.com) for horseback riding and fly fishing. Our trail boss was a woman named Wanda. She introduced us to our flyfishing guide and our horses for the 11-mile roundtrip ride into the Beartooth Mountains. Once saddled-up, we formed a line, crossed a wooden bridge, spanning a stream, and climbed a trail into a forest of lodge pole pine trees with purple lupine.

Reader Laughs About How ‘Times have changed’ Dear Editor, A few years ago while browsing through a used book store, my eye fell upon one of the books that was especially tattered and dust-covered. It turned out to be an etiquette book published in the 1920s. So I bought it. I had to chuckle when I read some of the entries in that resting place of antiquated social standards,
“A young woman should never, under any circumstance, go anywhere with a young man unless she is chaperoned by an older member of her family.” My oh my, how times have changed! Or have they really? I’m sure many young women back then chafed under that rule…
and promptly broke it. David Q. Monrovia
Reader Agrees With Opinion Piece Dear Editor: Great option piece and spot on with the points it makes. A small band of demagogues is doing incredible damage to Arcadia, and it is time they are called out. Champ Via ArcadiaWeekly.com
Recycle Used Oil & Filters! Do you change your car’s motor oil? Did you know that used motor oil and oil filters are recyclable? Used oil can be re-refined or processed into new motor oil. Currently only 46% of used motor oil is being recycled, which means 20 million gallons may be illegally entering California’s waterways via stormwater systems, posing a great risk to the environment. One gallon of used oil can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water; polluting our waterways and threatening fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

Indeed Unveils New Products for 2018 Angela COPELAND, angela@copelandcoaching.com
I
recently had the opportunity to attend Indeed Interactive in Austin, Texas. Indeed.com is the world’s largest jobs website. It’s like the Google of job searches. Indeed Interactive is the annual conference where thousands of human resources professionals come together to learn about the latest updates to the website and to job seeking this year. Indeed’s biggest announcement for 2018 was Indeed Assessments. In short, it will allow employers to add testing to their hiring process. So, in addition to your application, resume, and job interviews, you may also be asked to take a quiz at some point along the way. This testing technology was born out of a 2017 acquisition of a company called Interviewed. The technology can be used to screen candidates for a number of different jobs and departments, from technology to sales and customer service. The purpose of the assessments is to try to make the hiring process fairer. Raj Mukherjee, SVP of Product at Indeed said, “Assessments helps to democratize hiring by giving job seekers an equal opportunity to showcase their qualifications when applying for jobs, so they are able to find the right opportunities faster and easier.” This logic makes sense.
That is one of the top goals of the internet when it comes to jobs: to level the playing field of hiring a bit. Never before have we had so much information at our finger tips. Job seekers can find out just how much companies are paying. They can look at employer reviews before they ever step in the door. And, they can connect with company employees through various networking websites. In fact, Indeed also expanded their company pages this year. Job seekers will now be able to learn more about their prospective employers before applying. Paul Wolfe, SVP of Human Resources at Indeed shared that, “online company reviews are second only to salary information when considering a job offer.” It’s also important to note that Indeed does not allow companies to edit their reviews – even the negative ones. This helps you to ensure that you’re getting the honest scoop on the company before you decide whether or not you want to work there. Hiring is a complex process. The decision to
hire you is typically based on a number of factors including: the content of your resume, how well you interview, and now, how well you’re able to showcase your skills on an exam. But, as you’re searching, you should remember this. Job searching is a two way street. It’s great for a company to want to hire you for a particular role but the job should be right for you too. While the company is evaluating you through job interviews and assessments, evaluate them right back through online company reviews and pay data. The very best fit is one that works well for both sides. Lining up the interests of both sides is part of searching for greatness.

Celebrating Immigrant Heritage Month Throughout San Gabriel Valley Immigrant Heritage Month, which is celebrated each June to commemorate our diversity as a nation of immigrants. To commemorate Immigrant Heritage Month, Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27) issued the following statement: “One of the most remarkable things about America is that nearly all of us share a common bond of having immigrant roots. For many immigrant communities, including Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI), the United States has served as a land of boundless opportunity, politically and economically. And in turn, America has thrived thanks to the hard work, ingenuity, entrepreneurship, and patriotism of wave after wave of immigrants. Nowhere is that more apparent than my home state of California, where we are a majority-minority state and the world’s fifth largest economy. We are a daily example that welcoming immigrants contributes to a vibrant economy. And walking around my district, I can see, hear, and smell the influences from everywhere in the world. From Chinese laborers who helped build the first transcontinental railroad to Filipino farmworkers who revolutionized the labor movement to Southeast Asian refugees who fled war torn countries to seek a better life in America, the rich heritage of AAPI immigrants is inextricably woven into the fabric of our nation. “Unfortunately, as we celebrate the contributions of immigrants this month, we also must continue to fight the atrocities that the Trump administration is waging against immigrants each day. Hundreds of children seeking safety in the United States are being forcibly separated from their parents at our borders. This cruel separation is just one of the ways the Trump administration has dehumanized and isolated immigrants, in addition to calling them animals and spreading the lie that immigrants are more violent and dangerous. What the Trump Administration does not realize is that America benefits when people are welcomed and integrated into our society and given the chance to contribute to our economy. Even members of this Administration have relatives who arrived here not knowing a word of English.

La Quinta Tames Wildcats in CIF Title Game
Maranatha celebrates its come-from-behind 4-2 win over cross-town rival La Salle in the CIF Southern Section Division 3 Championship Saturday at CSUF. – Photo by Aaron Valdez / Beacon Media News
Following a couple of games that saw them overcome significant deficits, the “Comeback Cats” of Monrovia Baseball ironically squandered a 4-0 lead during their 6-5 loss to La Quinta in the CIF Southern Section Division 4 Championship. By the end of the third inning at the Riverside Sports Complex, the Wildcats seemed to be in the driver’s seat and were on the cusp of clinching an elusive CIF title. However, the game turned out to be far from over as the Blackhawks quickly stormed back to take a 6-4 lead. A two-run RBI double from Isaac Salazar and a pair of errors from Monrovia’s defense ended up being the biggest factors in the Wildcats’ demise.

Monrovia did cut their deficit down to one when Gabe Arellano recorded an RBI single. However, a tremendous effort from La Quinta reliever Andres Arellano ultimately secured the championship for
his team. The Wildcats finished the season with an overall record of 23-5-1, which is a huge turnaround from last season where they didn’t even qualify for the postseason.
Maranatha Tops La Salle in All-Pasadena Final
T
he CIF Southern Section Division 3 Final featured two schools that are just a city length apart. Pasadena rivals Maranatha and La Salle were on a collision course since the postseason began but it was the Minutemen who claimed a 4-2 victory over the Lancers in this championship juncture at Cal State Fullerton. Going into the game, the Minutemen were riding a 19-game winning streak with their last loss coming to Lake Norman on April 5. Other than a close game with Grace Brethren in the second round, Maranatha had cruised through most of its playoff campaign.
However, La Salle was no slouch as they sprung out to an early lead in the first inning. With two runners in scoring position, Brennen Mace crushed a long double to left field to give the Lancers a 2-0 lead. La Salle pitcher Zane Lindeman did well to keep the Minutemen at bay until a very decisive fourth inning came rolling around. This was where Maranatha went on a four-run rally, which was sparked by a Casey Popham single that brought in Sal Talbullo. After loading the bases, pitcher Max Blessinger, who had surrendered those two early runs, redeemed himself in a big way by doubling home all three
runs to give Maranatha a 4-2 lead. All the Minutemen had to do now was to keep the Lancers from mounting a comeback of their own in the remaining three innings. Luckily for them, they had just the guy for the job in Dawson Netz, who set a CIF-SS record this season by tossing 59.5 scoreless innings, and while only allowing three earned runs in 77 innings of work. The University of Arizona commit proved to be lights out, striking out five while allowing a mere one hit to help Maranatha win their first championship since it won back-toback in 2008 and 2009.

Bar had not lost a single match in seven years. Unfortunately for Arcadia, that run continued as the Brahmas proved to be too experienced despite a formidable effort from the Apaches. This marked the first time in program history – albeit a short history – that the Apaches made a championship game appearance. Arcadia also repeated as Almont League champs this season. It wasn’t the ideal ending to such a promising season, but it’s definitely safe to say that Arcadia will continue to grow and prosper under the tutelage of Stiles for years to come.

If so, listen up because I'm here to tell you that most likely something is wrong with your HORMONES! You see, your hormones control almost every aspect of your body - from body temperature to mood swings to even your sex drive. If your hormones are out of whack, you're going to feel it. That's why I'm having a seminar on HORMONES. I want to teach you exactly what you need to know about your hormones and how you can reset them without surgery or pills. My name is Dr. Tamika and I'm a Functional Medicine practitioner. I help my patients discover the root cause of their medical symptoms and then develop treatment plans that heal their whole body, not just one small part. In my daily work, I constantly see high performing women who are run down, exhausted, overweight and have no sex drive. You know what causes all those things? Imbalanced Hormones, and I mean more than just having a thyroid issue here. Hormones run your life and if you don't have them under control, your body is going to be working against you, holding you back, and causing you to "feel off". The good news is that there are a few simple things you can do to whip your hormones back into shape and once you do, watch out! You won't even recognize yourself you'll have so much energy, mental clarity, and drive. Come join me for our seminar on HORMONES at the Pasadena Women's City Club on Tuesday, June 26, 2018. It's FREE; I'm going to be sharing secrets that will help you with your hormones and get you over those common problems that come with women getting older. You can fight back! There is no reason why you can't continue to be a powerful, formidable woman in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond!
