Long-Awaited ShakeAlertLA Earthquake Early Warning App Now Available Story & Photos Terry MILLER tmiller@beaconmedianews.com

The ShakeAlert system developed by the U.S. Geological Survey has released ShakeAlertLA, a mobile app that sends alerts to users within Los Angeles County that an earthquake of greater than magnitude 5.0 or

level IV intensity has been detected and that they may soon feel shaking. The app is available for both Apple and Android devices and available in both English and Spanish. You can also use this app to prepare for an earthquake, get details on recent earthquakes, and find help after an earthquake.

ShakeAlertLA is the result of a partnership between the City of Los Angeles and the U.S. Geological Survey’s ShakeAlert system in

partnership with Pasadena’s CalTech.

That system has 400 sensors in California, Oregon, and Washington, which will supply the seismic data. The city spent about $300,000 for AT&T and the GRYD Foundation to build an app that can turn the data into mobile alerts This app is an official pilot in partner-

To better serve ADA customers, Monrovia’s dial-a-ride will now require pre-registration with the city. – Courtesy photo

Monrovia Transit Dial-a-Ride is Changing Monrovia city staff has been trying to find ways to improve the GoMonrovia program; staff has also been assessing how they can better serve passengers with disabilities who are in need of an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible vehicle. Currently, ADA rides are provided through the city’s dial-aride shuttle. However, users with non-ADA needs are still utilizing that particular transportation option. This has resulted in slower and

less efficient services for those with ADA needs.

In an effort to address that concern, city staff has been working to develop a dial-a-ride program that only serves those with ADA needs. To transition the program, the city will require anyone looking to utilize the city’s ADA services to pre-register before services will be provided.

Despite the inconvenience caused to rider by instituting this new process, the city maintains

that a registration process will be needed to better serve the ADA community in Monrovia.

City staff is currently in the process of finalizing the registration program details. In February, those wishing to ride on diala-ride shuttle vans will have to first complete a short, one-time application and waiver. City staff is also currently planning a community meeting and registration drive to take place sometime this month.

Pasadena Cordova Street Enhancements Project Reassessed The City of Pasadena held the first “open house” Tuesday for community input regarding the upcoming proposed Cordova Street Enhancements Project between Marengo Avenue and Hill Avenue.

Unlike the previous version of a “road diet” on Orange Grove, this idea seemed to pass the initial litmus test Tuesday.

The city wants to

remove two traffic lanes along Cordova from Arroyo Parkway to Hill Avenue and to add bike lanes in both directions among other improvements to improve safety.

The project consultant team discussed the potential enhancements coming to Cordova Street. Questions or comments should be addressed to Cordova@ cityofpasadena.net.

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!

Station Square Parking Lot Work Just Got More Expensive Giant boulders and low groundwater levels cause problems The City of Monrovia approved an agreement with HMC, Inc., in August of 2018 to coordinate remediation efforts at the park-and-ride lot at Station Square, as mandated by the LA Regional Water Board (Board), and those efforts have been going well thus far. The Board approved a preliminary Remedial Action Plan that outlines the pathway for gaining compliance at the location. Additionally, as part of the work, the Board directed the city to coordinate additional groundwater testing, which HMC has also been coordinating at the site during the past few weeks.

In order to coordinate the groundwater testing, the Board directed the city to drill three new wells to pull new groundwater samples.

The drilling work began in December 2018 and to date

the city has only been able to complete drilling at one of the three required wells.

A number of problems have arisen during the project.

The most prominent issue is large underground boulders.

During the drilling process, the team repeatedly ran into boulders bigger than cars, which damaged drilling equipment and slowed the overall process down. To compensate for that factor, the city identified a bigger air rotary drill rig that has been brought on site, and which can get through the boulders.

Another issue that arose is the fact that groundwater levels have fallen dramatically forcing the city to drill deeper than originally thought in order to hit water.

Initially, the city estimated that they would have to drill down around 200–220 feet.

Instead, groundwater is not being hit until the drill gets past 300 feet underground.

HMC Inc. has mentioned several times that having to drill 80–100 feet deeper than originally anticipated is quite shocking, even when taking into account the current drought situation.

It’s certainly a sign of how much the region has been impacted by the lack of rain during the past 10 years.

As a result of these unforeseen troubles, city staff is now anticipating cost overruns and has asked for a worst-case scenario. They anticipate needing around $60,000 to $70,000 more to offset the boulder issues and the deeper wells that need to be drilled. Staff plans on bringing a change order to the contract forward for City Council review at the Jan. 15 meeting.

Pasadena Playhouse Takes on Ambitious New Production

Global Game Jam encourages people to collaborate to design and develop a new game. – Courtesy photo / Facebook, @GlobalGameJam

Calling All Game Developers to Mt. Sierra College in Monrovia Mt. Sierra College is hosting a Global Game Jam event on their Monrovia campus from Jan. 25 through Jan. 27. Global Game Jam is the world's largest game jam event (game creation) taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development.

The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games, while at the same time exploring the process of development, be it programming, iterative design, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48-hour

development cycle. The Jam encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity.

Everyone gathers on Friday late afternoon, watches a short video keynote with advice from leading game developers, and then a secret theme is announced.

All sites worldwide are then challenged to make games based on that same theme, with games to be completed

by Sunday afternoon. The Jam is known for helping foster new friendships, increase

confidence and opportunities within the community.

People are invited to explore new technology tools, trying on new roles in development and testing their skills to do something that requires them to design, develop, create, test and make a new game in the time span of 48 hours.

To enroll, visit globalgamejam.org/2019/jamsites/mt-sierra-college. Mt. Sierra College is located at 800 Royal Oaks Drive, suite 101, in Monrovia. For more information on Global Game Jam, visit GlobalGameJam. org.

The Pasadena Playhouse will transform the historic theater with an all new version of “Ragtime: The Musical” as it returns to Los Angeles more than two decades after its premiere at the Shubert Theatre. With 21 actors and a 16-piece orchestra, this is one of the most ambitious productions in the Playhouse’s recent history.

Danny Feldman, Pasadena Playhouse producing artistic director said, “We’re thrilled to be producing one of the largest-scale projects in our history. Not only have we assembled a veritable fleet of actors, designers and musicians to bring this musical to life, with visionary director David Lee at the helm, but we are pleased that this production will [employ] over 100 LA-based theatre artists.

This local production, created for our theatre, of ‘Ragtime: The Musical’ will be a landmark theatrical event for Los Angeles once again.”

Based on the novel “Ragtime” by E. L. Doctorow, “Ragtime: The Musical” is written by Terrence McNally and composed by Stephen

Flaherty with lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. This production is directed by David Lee with choreography

by Mark Esposito and musical direction by Darryl Archibald.

Tickets for “Ragtime: The Musical” start at $25 and are available at pasa-

denaplayhouse.org, by phone at (626) 356-7529, and at the box office at 39 S. El Molino Ave. in Pasadena.

Pasadena Community Orchestra Hosts First Concert of the Year The Pasadena Community Orchestra (PCO) will perform Mozart’s, Symphony No. 40, J.S. Bach’s G Minor Fugue, Walton’s Spitfire Prelude & Fugue and Liszt’s Les Preludes under the baton of Music Director Beth Pflueger on Jan. 25.

Mozart’s iconic Symphony No. 40 is scored in four movements. Written in 1788, its passionate tone makes it an emotionally intense work. It opens with a steady pulse in

the violas and then moves into a melody in the violins.

The second movement is a slower. The third movement is a powerful minuet that becomes more complex and contrapuntal as it progresses.

The concluding allegro assai resolves the piece with a clever series of developments based on the opening theme and returning to the opening G minor key.

The concert will take place at First Church of the

Nazarene, 3700 E. Sierra Madre Blvd. in Pasadena on Jan. 25 at 8 p.m. The venue offers ample free parkin.

There is no cost to attend but donations are always welcome For more information, call (626) 445-6708, email publicity@pcomusic.org, or visit pcomusic.org.

Years in the planning stages, Caltech officials were delighted to announce last October the beginning of the new technology. ShakeAlert, an innovative technology designed to alert people about a significant earthquake before shaking arrives, was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey, UC Berkeley, California Institute of Technology, University of Washington and University of Oregon in partnership with the California

Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. Even with just a few seconds of warning, trains can be slowed or stopped, a surgery can be paused, and a person can brace themselves or quickly take shelter.

Since 2014, Representative Adam Schiff and his colleagues in Congress have been working to provide the sustained funding needed to build out ShakeAlert and get it up and running. They have secured over $45 million dollars for the system so far, with more expected this year. For the past few years, researchers and emergency

Out With the Old, in With the Sew Not your grandma’s sewing school

emily g. peters emilygpeters@gmail.com

I

n an era of massproduced clothing, limitless fashion stores and a dry cleaner around every corner, sewing has more or less become a relic of the past. However, while they maintain everyone should be taught to sew on a button, Pollard’s Sew Creative in Arcadia has found new ways to make the skill applicable in 2019.

“I didn’t necessarily get into this because of a

passion for sewing,” said Jenny Nobile, who runs Pollard’s Sew Creative, a shop launched by her parents more than 20 years ago in Glendora. Nobile’s career, in fact, seem to run in the opposite direction— instead of preserving crafts of yesteryear, Nobile led the edtech department as a professor at University of La Verne. Ironically, it was sewing technology that lured her back to the family business.

“I came back because of the technology emerging; the design and creative side of sewing,” explained Nobile. Like embroidery

software, for example.

“What's cool about it now is the latest machines have Wi-Fi, have the cloud. We teach you how

to create and design on our laptops and then spit the actual design out via the machine,” said Nobile.

The ease of it is attractive

to all ages, too.

“What's neat is the fact that sewing with this technology is not just for younger people; if someone struggled, we have basic computer classes to show women and men how to be more tech savvy. It’s making sewing easier— there are even apps that exist to tell you when the thread is low,” said Nobile. So while the shop offers sewing supplies, machines and even repairs, that teaching element reigns supreme.

“Today in sewing there are no real rules,” said Nobile. “The creative form

and freedom is there. It’s not your grandma’s sewing anymore.”

Pollard’s Sew Creative’s Arcadia store is located at 27 S. First Ave. For more information, contact the Pollard Sew Creative team at pollardsewcreative. com | (626) 795-9907 and follow along Facebook @ pollardsewcreative.

How BroadbandNow is Changing the Way Consumers Shop for Internet Access Their research highlights limited ISP choices in Pasadena alex CORDERO corderoalex82@yahoo.com

A

re you frustrated with the limited choices of internet providers in your area? What if there was a place where you could easily collect all the information you need to make a smart choice on what internet provider to sign up for? Well now there is.

BroadbandNow is a website that gives consumers the tools to compare prices and

find internet service providers (ISP) in their area. Or as they like to describe it, “it’s like Kayak for Internet service.” The organization also focuses on bringing awareness to internet access issues in the U.S. They recently performed research in Pasadena pertaining to internet providers available in the city and these are just a few things their research found: - There are 26 internet providers in Pasadena with seven of those offering resi-

dential service.

- Residential fiber service is available to only 5 percent of people living in Pasadena.

- Approximately 100 percent of Pasadena residents are serviced by multiple wired providers.

According to BroadbandNow the City of Roses is covered by two main internet providers: Charter Spectrum and AT&T. However, there are four other wired providers that cover certain areas of the city. As more and more large corporations merge

together the end result of these business deals leave the consumer with a limited choice of internet access with high fees and slow service.

BroadbandNow focuses on increasing internet coverage and provide tools to make it easy for consumers to have access to the internet free of marketing and bias.

SCE Makes Buying an Electric Car More Affordable Rebate is in addition to federal tax credit Drivers who make the switch to driving green in the new year will have more electric vehicle (EV) choices than ever. On top of more vehicle choices with longer driving ranges, driving an EV is about to become even more affordable.

Southern California Edison is now offering a $1,000 rebate to customers who purchase or lease a new or used all-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle on or after Jan. 1, 2019.

The rebate is offered through SCE’s Clean Fuel Reward program. Unlike most rebate programs, second and third EV owners can apply for a rebate. Customers who purchased an EV before

Jan. 1, 2019 are eligible for a $450 rebate. These rebates are in addition to the federal EV tax credit and any applicable California clean vehicle rebates.

“When drivers make the switch to an EV, not only do they contribute to cleaning the air we breathe, they also help us affect climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said Katie Sloan, SCE’s director of eMobility.

“Transportation accounts for nearly half of California’s GHG emissions and more than 80 percent of its air pollution.

“Each mile driven using electricity from the grid helps reduce tailpipe emissions.

Plus, EV owners also save

money on maintenance and lower fuel costs. Fueling an EV is equivalent to paying less than $2 per gallon of gasoline.”

To encourage SCE customers to take advantage of EVs, the company has also

launched the Charge Ready Home Installation Rebate Program. The program helps residential customers offset the cost of installing infrastructure that can lower average charging times to 5 1/2 hours or less depending

on the car make and model.

The faster charging, or Level 2 charging, consists of a professionally installed charger connected to a 240-volt AC outlet, the kind commonly used by washers and dryers.

SCE also has different rate

options to help customers save money. These plans may include special rates offering lower costs for charging off-peak or at night. The EV Rate Assistant tool can help customers determine a rate that is best for them.

Meandering Through Meersburg, Germany

Greg aragon gregsgetawaytravel@gmail.com

A

s the boat glided across Lake Constance, a seventh-century castle appeared through the morning mist, her fortified walls jetting from the side of an ancient cliff. Below the fortress a village of halftimber structures and fertile vineyards climbed a hillside, exposing a colorful medieval town.

This is how sailors saw Meersburg centuries ago.

This is how I discovered the tiny German village last spring.

My getaway began by climbing a flight of ancient stairs to the upper part of the city, known as Oberstadt.

Here I found a pedestrianonly town of meandering cobblestone streets and colorful buildings hidden above the lake.

My first stop was Hotel 3 Stuben (3stuben.de) a historic, half-timbered house located on the edge of old town, near the oldest inhabited castle in Germany ("Old Castle") as well as

Set on a cliff above Lake Constance, Meersburg, Germany is a charming medieval village of castles, vineyards, museums and pubs. - Photo by Greg Aragon / Beacon Media News

the famous Baroque Neues Schloss ("New Castle"). The hotel consists of 28 rooms individually decorated with character and style true to its 16th century roots. And while the décor is whimsically historic, the amenities are all modern and efficient.

At the hotel I checked into a charming top floor room with a pitched ceiling, comfy twin bed, large TV, work station, sofa and chairs, mini bar, bathroom with shower, and big windows looking over the city.

With home base taken

care of I went exploring, starting with the Old Castle.

Located on a ridge overlooking Lake Constance, Meersburg Castle was built sometime in the seventh century to protect city dwellers from invaders.

Today it is both a public

museum and a private residence.

To enter the giant fortress, I crossed a draw bridge and was instantly transported back to the Middle Ages, where I encountered medieval living areas; knight’s armor and

weaponry such as lances, swords and battle axes; and a creepy castle dungeon, in which prisoners were lowered to their doom.

The torture chamber in the deep castle dungeon offers insight into medieval justice. Guests visiting the castle can see more than 35 furnished rooms, including the “dirnitz” or great hall, the castle kitchen, and the well chamber. There is also a bathhouse and bakery.

The castle tour also includes the rooms in which famous German poet, Annette von DrosteHülshoff, lived when she visited Lake Constance until her death in May 1848. The castle café with its magnificent panoramic terrace and the romantically situated castle tavern by the Marienbrunnen fountain offer great views of Lake Constance.

From the castle, I strolled past pubs, gift shops, eateries and museums.

One of the most interesting museums is dedicated to wine and features oldschool wine making tools, such as a mammoth wooden grape crusher and wine barrel.

Healthy Snacks to Help You Keep Your Resolutions The beginning of a new year marks the annual pledge many of us make for healthier eating habits after the long gluttonous run from Halloween thru New Year’s Day. With the heft of the holidays weighing in both body and mind comes the desire for clean, simple, lighter eating.

Cue popcorn. Popcorn is a simple yet satisfying whole grain. Popcorn is naturally low in fat and calories, which makes it a great choice. The fiber in popcorn makes you

feel fuller longer, which helps curb hunger.

Health and wellnessminded consumers today look for added nutrients to boost the system. Why eat only whole grains when you can sprinkle on protein and antioxidants? Powders, herbs, ground roots, seeds, and spices like turmeric, matcha, maca, and chia can make your snacks more nutrient rich. And while there’s no substitute for a balanced diet, pairing these on-trend

ingredients with whole grain popcorn is a natural.

MACA ALMOND POPCORN BARS Servings: 16 bars Ingredients - 8 cups unsalted, unbuttered popped popcorn.

- 3/4 cup sliced almonds.

- 1/2 cup flaked oats.

- 1/2 teaspoon salt.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on Feb. 1, 2019 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 5 located at 111 N. Hill St.,

Los Angeles, CA 90012.

IF YOU OBJECT to the grant-ing 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 representa-tive, 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 knowl-edgeable 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.

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.

Reader Questions Pasadena Mayor’s Statements Dear Editor, Why does the mayor continue to talk about how good [sic] Pasadena residents and visitors will have a better quality of life with what his committee of one did without explanation of [sic] scaring voters into a sales tax increase? Let’s see where the money is spent during the first audit if anyone can follow the numbers?

Reader Suggests a Solution to Avoid Door-to-Door Solicitors Dear Editor, I’d like to suggest a way to avoid physical brawls (and their costly legal consequences) between aggressive door-to-door salespersons and annoyed home dwellers, such as the one described in your Jan. 3 article, “PPOA Supports Pasadena Officer Accused of Racial Bias.”

Simply place a prominent sign on the front door which says: “Solicitors, please do not disturb. We are not interested in buying anything. Thank you.”

The same can be done to discourage proselytizers: “We are happy with our own religion, and do not wish to change it. Please respect our wishes.”

I doubt that even the most audacious salesperson or hell-bent missionary (pun intended), would ignore such a polite request.

In Memoriam Share the Beautiful Life of Your Loved One With a Featured Obituary

am so excited! This year – 2019 – is set to be a record year for job searching. If I could knock on the door of every reader to personally deliver this message, I would.

This message deserves to be yelled from rooftops everywhere. If you have ever thought of looking for a new job, now is the time to do it. Right now. Not in six months. Not next year.

Now. Andrew Chamberlain, the chief economist from Glassdoor summed it up best when he shared that, “this is the best job market we have seen in an entire generation.” This is the time to negotiate for more money. It’s the time to ask for better benefits. And, it’s the time to wait to find a job that fits your life.

I could not agree more! We haven’t seen a job market like this since before I graduated from

RETIRED COUPLE

college. For years, the market has been dicey. But now, the unemployment rate is incredibly low, and there’s a shortage for skills in cities across the country.

When the market first turned in favor of the job seeker, it was hard to feel the benefits. Hiring managers were still being overly specific in job postings. They were still highly critical of candidates. But, it seems this trend is changing.

Hiring managers have had unfilled job postings open for months. They’ve been burned by candidates who “ghost” them by not showing up to work on the first day. They’re starting to wake up to the reality that the job seeker is in the driver’s seat once again.

But, don’t delay. Don’t take this moment for granted. There is a reasonable chance that a recession could be around the next corner. Any economic slowdown will certainly change the dynamics of today’s great job market.

Chamberlain predicts that the odds of a recession are 15 percent in 2019, and 35 percent in 2020.

And, this prediction makes sense. Big companies are already starting to feel the economic slowdown. For example, FedEx announced in December that they will offer an employee buyout program. Eligible employees will receive four weeks of pay for every year of service, up to two-years of pay. This move is expected to save the Memphis-based logistics company over $200 million in 2020.

If you’re as excited as I am, don’t wait. Start by revising your resume today.

Then, update your LinkedIn profile and begin monitoring the site (and Indeed. com and Glassdoor) for the latest jobs – daily. Research your current market value.

If you’ve been stuck in one company for years, you may be surprised to know that your value has gone up quite a bit since the last time that you looked. And, luckily, fewer companies are asking your current salary. Instead, they’re asking how much you want to make in the future.

Take advantage of the special moment in time, and create a new future for yourself.

Pasadena Takes Bite Out of Burbank to Remain Pacific League’s Top Dog

Arcadia Spiraling Out of Contention for Pacific League Crown Arcadia boys’ soccer has certainly seen better days as its chances to capture the Pacific League title this season appear even bleaker after the team’s latest 2-1 loss to Burroughs on Tuesday.

Outside of their 5-0 blowout over La Salle in the season opener, the Apaches (2-6-1) have struggled mightily to put together a winning effort on the pitch.

This is a far cry from last year when Arcadia was in conten-

tion for the Pacific League title but ended up finishing in third with an 8-5-1 record.

Since that season opening win, the Apaches went on to drop six of their next eight games. Five of those six losses were against league opponents while the reaming one was a 3-1 defeat to Temple City in a nonleague bout on Dec. 18.

Arcadia did manage to salvage a 2-2 draw with Muir on Dec. 11 and a 2-0 win

over Hoover on Friday, which was a team the Apaches had already lost to once, earlier this season.

With Burroughs sitting atop the league table at 5-0-2, Arcadia’s chances at staging a comeback are looking quite grim. However, there are still seven games left on the schedule and the Apaches will seek to dig themselves out of this hole starting with a home match against Crescenta Valley on Friday at 3:30 p.m.

The expectation of living up to last season’s major success continues to be a daunting task for Pasadena boys’ basketball.

However, the Bulldogs are taking it one step at time as their latest 81-56 win over Burbank on Tuesday keeps them undefeated in league play at 7-0.

Having lost in the CIF-SS Championship game last year, Pasadena is back this season looking to finally get the job done. Despite losing several key starters to graduation and a record that does not fully reflect the talent on their squad, the Bulldogs are still a force to be reckoned with as shown in their recent play.

Burbank is having a solid season in its own right as it sported a 12-6 overall record going into Tuesday’s contest. While the Burbank Bulldogs did have their moments, it was the Bulldogs of Pasadena that proved to be too explosive.

Pasadena’s athleticism and speedy transition game led them to an 81-56 win over Burbank on Tuesday.

Pasadena had already built up a double-digit lead at half and quickly blew the game open in the third with an array of fast-break points that ended in easy layups or thunderous dunks.

On the defensive end, the team’s length also posed a big problem for Burbank, which forced them to settle for low-percentage outside

jumpers.

Along with starting a new winning streak, this victory further cements Pasadena’s first-place status in the Pacific League standings. The team with the next-best record is crosstown rivals Muir at 4-2, who happens to be the Bulldogs’ next opponent on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Monrovia Overcomes Sluggish Start to Trounce San Marino Aaron VALDEZ sports@beaconmedianews.com

In a highly competitive Rio Hondo League, the Monrovia boys’ soccer team can’t afford to slip up not even one game.

Fortunately for the Wildcats, they were able to get the job done on Tuesday after an erratic first half in their 3-0 road win over San Marino.

In a season full of ups and downs that has the team sitting on a middling 6-6-3 record, the time has come for the Wildcats to find a reliable winning formula for Rio Hondo League action.

Coming off a 1-1 draw with La Cañada in its first league match on Saturday, Monrovia earned its first victory as it defeated a scrappy San Marino side. Despite San Marino having never been a historically strong team in the Rio Hondo League, Monrovia

Head Coach Andrew Barajas said this was still a must-win.

“I think we could’ve played a little better,” Barajas said.

“Our players went in thinking that it was going to be a walk in the park … But we got the win so that’s the most important thing out of it all.”

The importance of this win stems from the fact that four teams are all in contention for the league title this season, including Temple City (2-0), La Cañada (1-0-1), South Pasadena (1-1) and of course Monrovia (1-0-1).

The victories over the bottom dwellers of the league will pay many dividends during the final stretch.

In the first half on Tuesday, the Wildcats had a shaky start as each side struggled to find its rhythm, much less the back of the net. However, Monrovia took control of the game in the second half by using their physicality in the middle and

on defense.

Monrovia’s Gordon Sheppard displayed great leadership in the midfield by heavily disrupting San Marino’s offense and by being the decisive link between the defense and offense. He was even rewarded with a goal to put Monrovia up 2-0 late in the second half.

While the Wildcats did walk away with the 3-0 shutout, Barajas said he is still concerned about his team’s consistency issues.

“For some reason, when we play against stronger teams, I believe we are at where I want us to be. But when we play against teams where we underestimate them, we start playing at a lower level than what we should be playing at,” Barajas said.

Monrovia will continue their road swing when it takes on Blair (0-2) on Friday at 3 p.m.
