California State Senator Anthony J. Portantino has selected Rose Queen Louise Deser Siskel of San Marino as the 25th State Senate District 2019 Woman of the Year.

Every year the California State Legislature honors one woman from each district in a ceremony. This year, Senator Portantino was honored that Ms. Siskel agreed to proudly represent the 25th Senate District.

In a very heartfelt op-ed for the Los Angeles Times, Louise introduced the world to the depths of the Royal Court that are often out of the pageantry, a multidimensional personal story.

Through Siskel’s leadership, young women in the LGBTQ and Jewish communities have a new and dynamic role model. In addition, something as simple and commonplace as wearing glasses took on greater cultural significance in the year 2019.

“I am grateful to Senator Anthony Portantino for nominating me for the California Legislative Women’s Caucus Woman of the Year award. I feel lucky to be honored among a group of truly dedicated women who make the world a more kind and welcoming place. ” commented Siskel The California State

Red Cross Needs Your Help Arcadia and Pasadena Winter storms and canceled blood drives due to government shutdown straining supply The American Red Cross is reissuing its emergency call for blood and platelet donors to give now after multiple snow storms, frigid temperatures and the government shutdown further reduced lifesaving donations.

In January, more than 4,600 Red Cross blood and platelet donations went uncollected as blood drives were forced to cancel due to severe winter weather blanketing parts of the U.S., and additional cancellations are expected this week. Weather travel advisories may cause even more donors to delay their planned donations.

The federal government shutdown also affected donations as more than 4 percent of Red Cross blood collections come from drives sponsored by military and local, state and federal government agencies.

About 30 blood drives hosted

by federal offices were canceled across the country due to the shutdown, leaving more than 900 donations uncollected.

Right now, Red Cross blood donations are being distributed to hospitals faster than they are coming in, and there is less than a three-day supply of most blood types on hand. The Red Cross strives to maintain a five-day supply of blood to meet the needs of patients and to be prepared for emergencies that require significant volumes of donated blood products.

All eligible donors, especially platelet donors and blood donors with type O blood, are urgently needed to help restock the shelves for hospital patients. Donation appointments can be easily scheduled by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling

(800) RED CROSS (733-2767).

Upcoming blood donation opportunities: Arcadia -Feb. 4 from 2-7 p.m. at The Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, located at 1881 S. 1st Ave. -Feb. 6 from noon - 7 p.m. at Methodist Hospital, located at 300 W. Huntington Drive.

Pasadena -Jan. 31 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at Southern California Public Radio, located at 474 S. Raymond Ave. -Jan. 31 from 10:45 a.m.

O

ver a two-day period, 13 delegates from Arcadia Unified School District (AUSD) gathered in Sacramento for the annual California State Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Conference to advocate on behalf of not only Arcadia students and families but also students all across California. For over 100 years, PTA has served as advocates for students and families, and the 2019 California State PTA Legislation Conference was an incredible opportunity to communicate student and school needs directly to California’s elected officials.

Arcadia Unified’s delegation was the largest one present at the Conference: from City Council Mayor Pro-Tem April Verlato to student representatives like Arcadia High junior Jeffrey Lee, the varied group allowed Arcadia Unified to deliver the important and comprehensive message regarding the needs of Arcadia schools.

Speakers sharing about positive school climate—Jacquelyn Ollison,

California Department of Education; Alice Kessler, Lighthouse Public Affairs; Monica Nepomuceno, California Department of Education; Joy Wake, Start School Later California; Michael Essien, Principal at Martin Luther King Middle School— stressed the importance of developing and maintaining a welcoming school environment to foster students’ growth and learning.

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

According to a Chinese New Year myth, a monster called Nián comes up once a year to feast on humans and animals. Villagers used to run and hide as the monster destroyed their village. However, one day a beggar came upon a woman who promised to chase the monster away. The night Nián was supposed to return, the village was decorated red and firecrackers went off striking fear in the monster. It was later discovered that Nián’s weaknesses were loud noises and the color red. This is why many families today decorate their houses in red and create loud noise as part of their celebration for the New Year.

Pasadena Showcase for the Arts Holds Annual ‘Empty House Party’ Susan motander motander@yahoo.com

O

n Jan. 25, the members of Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts held its annual fundraising “Empty House Party” for its patrons and the media. The party is designed to show patrons the house that a dozen local interior designers will be remodeling in the next three months.

There is a small twist this year: rather than a private home, the house getting a makeover is the Boddy House, the Hospitality House at Descanso Gardens.

The home was built in 1939 as the private residence of Elias Manchester Boddy, the publisher of the Los Angeles Illustrated Daily News who also wrote daily editorials in his paper. The 12,000-square-foot mansion was designed by architect James E. Dolena of Beverly Hills. It is sort of a colonial revival house but in a genre usually referred to as “Hollywood Regency,” a style greatly favored by those in the entertainment industry in the 1930s and ‘40s. The house was last used by Pasadena Showcase in 2007.

The showcase will be held from April 21 to May 19.

Tickets are going on sale Jan.

31. They range in price from $35 to $50 depending on the time of day. The house will be open on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. with the final entry time at 4 p.m.

The property will close at 6 p.m. On Fridays the house will be open late with the last entry at 7 p.m. On these days, the property will close at 9 p.m. There are no house tours on Mondays, but the Shops at Showcase will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Chinese New Year 2019, Year of the Pig Sandi Khine sandiwkhine@gmail.com

X

īn nián kuài lè!

Marked by red envelopes, special festivities, and an abundance of food and drink, Chinese New Year is a valued opportunity to celebrate and get together for families around the world. Chinese New Year has been celebrated for thousands of years, but its exact origins are shrouded in legends and stories. Some believe that celebrating the new year in China began

during the Shang Dynasty, from 1766 B.C. to 1122 B.C., but others believe it began even earlier than that, with Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun in 2300 B.C. In China, Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival, celebrated at the end of the winter and marking the beginning of spring planting, harvests, warmer weather, and new starts. It is also known as the Lunar New Year because the holiday is celebrated based on the Lunar calendar: the exact date can range from Jan. 21 to Feb. 20. This year, Chinese

New Year will occur on Feb. 5.

The Chinese New Year celebration of 2019 will be a celebration of the year of the pig. The pig is the 12th and last position in the Chinese Zodiac, which cycles every 12 years (rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig).

The artist herself wrote a brief explanation of her concept: “This memorial to Robert ‘Bob’ Bartlett welcomes travelers like you, people who benefit from the fruits of his long-lasting labors, to the Monrovia Gold Line Station. These panels pay homage to Bob’s ambition for the city’s growth while humbly maintaining Monrovia’s rich cultural history. Reflecting his earnest compassion for everyone at every place in his community, his memorial turns to face all directions at this station.

“The sculptural mosaic rises from the earth across the plaza at the Monrovia Gold Line station, welcoming and bidding farewell to the travelers who benefit from the fruits of his long-lasting labors each and every day...echoing the intersection between Monrovia’s old and new.

the panels are five separate mosaics, each commemorating significant chapters in the Bob Bartlett story: ‘-The Mayor: sits in the center, in the heart of the city.

-Old Town Monrovia: The entrance, the preservation, and revitalization of Old Monrovia.

-Equity: The equality and inclusiveness he represented.

-The Bus: The Major role in the development of the Foothill Transit.

-All-America City: Monrovia’s selection as an All-Amer-

ica City under his leadership.’

“All mosaics were made with Italian and Mexican smalti glass, combined with other tiles. They were made with the Byzantine indirect technique which will make them forever pieces. These colorful mosaics will never fade, while the Corten steel which supports them only ages more beautifully with time.

Mayor Bob Bartlett was the first African American to serve on the Monrovia City Council in 1974.”

According to City Manager Oliver Chi in his weekly update this week, the count is in from the homeless census taken last week and the numbers in Monrovia appear to have held fairly constant.

At

first glance the number of individuals seems to have jumped substantially from 9 in 2018 to 18 this year, but Chi points out that year it was “brutally cold” during the count and this may have depressed the numbers.

However he did note that there was a large drop in the number of individuals living in RVs: 14 this year as compared to 33 last year.

SURPRISE Continued From Page 1

Los Angeles County has the highest tax rate in the state, higher even than Silicon Valley and San Francisco. He noted that part of the reason for this is that since 2004, LA County has succeeded in passing every sales tax measure they proposed driving the tax rate up to 9.5 percent.

The problem with this, according to the mayor, is that the money Monrovians pay into the county does not come back to them in the form of services and funding for local projects. As an example, Adams pointed to the funds raised by Measure H. Monrovians pay approximately $2.6 million per year for this measure, but the city only gets $30,000 back – about 1 percent of what we pay.

He also noted that cities like Santa Monica and Long Beach do not pay into this county fund although they receive money from it. This is because they voted to tax themselves and there is a cap

to how much sales tax rates can be raised in any city. Once that cap is reached the county cannot impose any additional sales tax increases.

To counteract this, the mayor is proposing that the city begin exploring a potential sales tax measure this year. Specifically he said, “If

the tax hikes are going to be approved anyway, there is something we can do now, in 2019, to protect our interests here in Monrovia.

including three live/work units. The next project in the planning phase is being referred to as 123 Pomona of 310 apartments. All these projects are still in the planning phase and have not yet been approved by the city.

Liquid Folklore at An Authentic Taste at Maquina Taco RT Rogers Brewing Co.

The craft beer spot Sierra Madre always needed emily g. peters emilygpeters@gmail.com

“R

yan’s been brewing forever,” said Kelly Rogers of his youngest son, one-fourth of the Rogers crew behind RT Rogers Brewing Company in Sierra Madre. Each member of the family has pivotal roles: Kelly and his wife Joanna handle operation; older son Jesse (an art teacher) oversees graphic design and marketing, and Ryan is the brewing wizard.

“His trade is HVAC but I think he always liked the science of the beer,” said Kelly of Ryan, who began brewing at the tender age of 16. “He’s a traditionalist—so whether it’s Belgian, German, old English or American-style, they all fit their intended classic profiles.”

The names of the brews also pull from the classics.

Folklore and ancient myths serve as their inspiration,

creating a bit of a whimsical experience when you put in your order for a Milk Maid (milk stout) or the Gold Spinner (hefeweizen).

Growlers can be purchased for anything on tap that you want to take home—and seasonal brews are also made for special occasions.

“Most of our beers are without additives of fruit and flavors,” said Kelly, “although we did recently collaborate with Pocock Brewery in Santa Clarita for a raspberry guava fruit beer.” That spirit of

collaboration is something the Rogers family found unique to the craft brewing community.

“Everyone in it is so open and helpful,” said Joanna Rogers. “We support each other because we all want to see each other succeed.”

Rated at four–and-ahalf stars on Yelp, people show their love for Pasadena’s Maquina Tacos. And they don’t only serve tacos.

Customers have a variety of options when it comes to ordering their taste in Mexican flavor: bowls, burritos, tortas, breakfast items and simple foods such as quesadilla or chicken soup. Customers can also choose their “fill” or choice of what to have inside their taco, bowl, or burrito such as the classic asada, cabeza, or even a combo like asada and shrimp. There are even vegan options. Prices vary by fill.

Visit Maquina at 1274 N. Lake Ave. in Pasadena. They are open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information on Maquina or to view their menu, visit MaquinaTaco.com.

Expectations Versus the Reality of Weight Loss

Here are the straight facts about lasting weight loss results without weird diets.

as Vegas is an exciting place, full of incredible and luxurious hotels and casinos.

But, a few miles off The Strip, there is a natural wonderland with a visual payoff that no slot machine or glitzy show can match. It is called Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and it is a must-see for any nature-lover who finds themselves in the area.

A friend and I discovered Red Rock while driving down a street called Charleston Boulevard. When we stopped at a light, we looked up and saw a sign for it. We then looked the spot up in our AAA Guide Book and knew we had to explore.

Located about 12 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip, Red Rock Canyon spans 195,819 acres. Its aweinspiring geologic features, along with unique animals and plants, make it a perfect example of the diverse Mojave Desert ecosystem. When we

got to the reserve, we paid the $15 car fee, got a map of the park, and then entered a different world.

Our journey began at the visitor’s center, where we learned about the rock formations, which are literally very red in color, and about harsh desert life.

I

never knew that the master cleanse was a thing, until one of my clients came up to me looking much more tired than usual. I asked her what was wrong.

“Oh, I’m just trying this new diet out,” she said. “But I’m only allowed to have a lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup, and water.”

Not gonna lie, I freaked out a little bit in that moment.

I hate to criticize methods, but I’ve got to say that starving yourself of actual food will not be an effective, nor will it be a sustainable, solution to your weight-loss needs.

But look, I get it, it’s tough to sift through what works and what’s total BS sometimes. So let’s dive in and figure out the reality of sustainable weight loss.

that I can eat?“ Don’t get me wrong, salad is great. It’s often a great way to get high-fiber and nutrientdense foods into your diet without throwing everything in a blender; but it’s not the only way to eat.

The best advice I can give is to try new recipes out. There are so many delicious foods out there that can help keep your energy levels up and your waistline low. A quick Google

search of "healthy recipes" will quickly overwhelm you with options.

Small, practical dwellings can be so charming.

Take, for example, Eskimo igloos: What could be more pleasing to the eye than those simple yet symmetrical homes? And no book of western art is complete without prints of Indian tepees.

Also, the conical African huts and cozy Mongolian tents give eloquent testimony of the human genius to design such dwellings for their comfort and protection.

And now, thanks to your article, I have added the bubble house to my mental images of what is, for someone, their own “Home

Sweet Home.”

I, for one, would be delighted to see a compact neighborhood filled with bubble houses!

And wouldn’t that “Bubble House Neighborhood” be a popular tourist attraction?

Almost like a Disneyland, but without the cost.

Reader Response to ‘Fall of House of Baldwin’ Great article. Shame on Arcadia. This could have been a wonderful landmark.

Reader Response to ‘Career Corner article’ Thank you for the terrific Career Corner article in volume 23 number 3 edition. . Miss Copeland [does] a [terrific] job of illustrating how important it is to think of others when communicating. Too many leaders, public speakers and sales people today want to impress us with their jargon, but they failed to connect with their audience and their message is lost. Good communication is a crucial part of a civil society.

Beary has a gray scarf of fur around his neck while Luna is a more black color throughout her body.

These two are fun loving pair, who instantly purr at any sign of affection.

There are a little shy at first but after a while of knowing you they get very playful and sweet. Once they are more comfortable, you can see how talkative and bonded they are. They are also always looking after one another.

Arcadia Turns the Tide to Top Burroughs in League Tourney Semis

La Salle suffers setback in its push to make CIF as the Lancers fall 2-0 to firstplace Bishop Amat on Monday. – Photo

La Salle Drops to Third Place With Loss to Bishop Amat La Salle girls’ soccer has experienced its fair share of highs and lows this season but with CIF playoffs around the corner, the Lancers find themselves in a precarious position after falling to Bishop Amat 2-0 in a Del Rey League match on Monday.

Going into Monday’s game against first-place Bishop Amat, La Salle had a chance to make its biggest statement of the season. Bishop Amat was undefeated in league play and donned a 14-3-4 overall record.

La Salle, on the other hand, is having a hard time keeping its record above .500 while simultaneously battling Bishop Montgomery for the second spot in the standings.

Lo and behold, things

didn’t go La Salle’s way on Monday as this all-Lancers bout saw Bishop Amat assert its style of play from the beginning. La Salle struggled to create plays against Bishop Amat’s stout and disciplined defense.

“I think that we didn’t come out to play as a team collectively,” said La Salle Head Coach Sheima Berenji.

“We didn’t transition very well from the offensive to defensive end, defense to offense. But overall we just didn’t collectively play as a team.”

Two quick first-half goals was all Bishop Amat needed to close out La Salle as momentum never seemed to swing any other direction.

The loss dropped La Salle’s record to 12-4 overall but 3-3

in league. These results put La Salle in third place behind Bishop Montgomery, who defeated St. Genevieve 2-1 on Monday to improve their record to 4-3.

La Salle’s CIF playoff chances now hang in the balance, the Lancers are in control of their own destiny as they have a decisive game against Bishop Montgomery on Wednesday. Despite all the setbacks, Berenji is confident that her team can still sneak into the postseason.

“We have to make sure we win senior night … So we have to take care of business on our field against Bishop Montgomery,” Berenji said.

“We need to continue to play collectively as a team and as a unit”.

In most cases, the semifinal game between the second and third seeds in the Pacific League tournament is considered to be the most competitive match-up.

However, this wasn’t the case on Tuesday as No. 3 Arcadia girls’ water polo cruised past No. 2 Burroughs 7-2 to earn a spot in the tournament finals against No. 1 Crescenta Valley.

This proved to be a nice surprise for an Apache team that was not only on a threegame losing streak entering the semifinal game, but also not having the best of seasons considering their current 13-14 record.

However, Arcadia’s saving grace on paper was its league record of 3-2.

And despite already losing to Burroughs once this year, the Apaches were an entirely different team in the Pacific League Tourna-

ment. Arcadia dominated the Indians on all fronts as the team punched its ticket to the finals on Thursday.

The final will feature a rematch between Arcadia and Crescenta Valley as the two sides met on Jan. 23 with the Falcons taking the game 13-9.

Johnson’s Brace Lifts Monrovia Past Temple City Monrovia boys’ managed to overtake Temple City for second place in the Rio Hondo League as David Johnson and the Wildcats came back to defeat the Rams 2-1 on Tuesday.

Despite having a respectable record under their belts, the Wildcats have their work cut out for them in this final week of the regular season. Going into Tuesday’s match, Monrovia was sitting in third place while trailing second-place Temple City and first-place La Cañada in the Rio Hondo league table.
