Guild’s members are 60-70 years old, however Brisendine said that that they hope to have younger participants so that the tradition of quilting is carried on.

“Because the age span in our quilt group is about 40 years, we have learned and watched these other women,” Brisendine explained. “Now we’re here passing on our knowledge to the next generation.”

ucked away in Arcadia, female quilters uphold a longstanding American tradition Marilyn Brisendine describes as an art that is being lost to us.

In a conversation of the Wandering Foot Quilt Guild she’s been a part of for 15-17 years, my perspective of quilting quickly changed. My initial assumption, and I’m sure many would agree, was that quilting is just a hobby people participate in when they get older. Brisendine, the community chairperson for the Guild, explained that for her, quilting with her lifelong friends has provided her a space to feel supported by women like her.

“What started the club was a group of women who were friends who wanted to get together to exchange their ideas about quilting,” she said when I asked her about the Guild’s origins.

The goal of their organization is to teach quilting while giving back to the community.

Their community outreach includes making caps for preemies (premature infants), blankets for chemo patients, quilts for kids and

teenagers, and their biggest project: providing love and comfort through gifts and donations for the University of Southern California (USC) Medical center. “We give about 50-70 items a month to the USC medical center for low-income people with illnesses,” Brisendine explained.

Aside from their focus on giving back to the community, the Guild’s emphasis is on learning quilting and hand-work from each other.

“All of us have something we’re good at,” she said. “And we use that to teach each other our different skills.”

This includes new styles and patterns that each woman has learned on their own or through other women.

Sometimes, the Guild invites outside speakers or guests to

lead workshops where the women pay a fee and they set up tables and they all sew together.

Although the idea of quilting seemed daunting to me, Brisendine reassured me that regardless of my sewing skills, they welcome all who are interested in learning the craft. The best part? Joining the Guild is as easy as coming to a meeting.

Brisendine explained that in the Guild, the women made an agreement that the culture of their organization is going to be open to new members at all times. “We formed a pact at one of our knitting group meetings and we said everybody is gonna be friendly and we’re going to welcome them,” Brisendine explained about how membership works for their

organization. “It’s become so much more fun because we have members of different ages” she said.

Local Monrovia Business Pitch Their Innovative Idea on Shark Tank Telecommunication veterans Steve Berkson and Roger Anderson know a thing or two about telemarketers and scammers and what a nuisance their unsolicited calls are. After a particularly terrible experience with a telemarketer, Berkson and Anderson banded together and founded Jolly Roger Telephone Company.

Rather than waste your time ignoring or talking to a telemarketer, Jolly Roger patches the caller through to a robot, which will then have a conversation. The following phrases will respond to the caller: “Did you wash my leggings?”

“I’m making dinner, you gotta wait.” “I’m having trouble concentrating cause you sound exactly like someone I went to high school with.”

And not only do these bots have conversations, Jolly Roger records the phone call for you to

playback for a laugh. The company can even publish some best recorded calls on their YouTube page.

This past Sunday, Berkson and Anderson appeared on Shark Tank, a nationwide reality television series where aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their ideas and/or companies to a panel of five investors, or “sharks.” Jolly Roger Telephone Company caught the interest of two sharks and even received an offer

for $400,000.

In the end, Jolly Roger did not walk away with a deal, but now millions of people know they are no longer alone in their fight against telemarketers and scammers.

gration, consumer rights, landlord-tenant issues, insurance issues, property, family law, estate planning and trusts, general litigation, Bankruptcy, government benefits, employee rights, workers’ compensation, personal injury and other topics.

Pasadena Man Arrested in Scheme in Which Chinese Money Allegedly Funded Marijuana Grow Houses Three men were arrested this morning on federal charges alleging they took part in a scheme that used millions of dollars wired from China to purchase seven residential homes in San Bernardino County that were converted into illegal marijuana grow houses.

The three defendants arrested today pursuant to a federal criminal complaint are: Lin Li, a.k.a. Aaron Li, 37, of Chino, the U.S.-based coordinator of the alleged scheme; Ben Chen, 42, of Alhambra, who allegedly took care of the marijuana grows; and Jimmy Yu, 44, of Pasadena, a second alleged grow house caretaker.

The complaint charges the three defendants with one count of manufacturing, distributing, and possessing with the intent to distribute marijuana. The three men are expected to make their initial appearances this afternoon in United States District Court in Los Angeles.

In conjunction with the arrests, law enforcement executed search warrants at Li’s home and seven marijuana-grow houses in Chino, Ontario and Chino Hills. As a result of the searches, authorities seized approximately 1,650 marijuana plants from several grow houses, as well as cash at Li’s house currently estimated to be at least $80,000.

Today’s takedown is the result of a 14-month investigation that was initiated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and soon after was joined by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

In relation to the criminal charges, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, in coordination with the HSI’s Asset Identification and Removal Group, has begun the process to forfeit the seven homes where marijuana was being grown. The properties are cumulatively worth more than $5 million.

According to a 120-page

affidavit in support of the criminal complaint, Li, a real estate agent, orchestrated a scheme that purchased residential properties through transactions designed to conceal the homes’ true owners, converted the houses to marijuana grow operations, and trafficked marijuana, with most of the processed marijuana being sold to customers in California and Nevada.

After receiving financing from sources in China, Li “acted as the realtor for the

purchase of [seven residences], which he then converted into illegal marijuana grow houses,” the affidavit states.

“Li coordinated the purchase of the properties, managed them after purchase, paid their utilities and taxes, and established shell companies for the purpose of managing the properties’ finances.”

Investigators believe Li attempted to distance himself from the conspiracy by using Chen and Yu to manage day-to-day operations at the

grow houses, to help with out-of-state distribution of the marijuana, and to return marijuana sale proceeds.

Li also used bypasses to physically divert electricity directly from power lines, thus stealing power from the electric companies, hiding the grow houses’ high power usage from law enforcement, and creating fire risks in neighborhoods. According to the affidavit, Li’s attempts to insulate himself from culpability went as far as creating fake leases for some of the properties, documents that included fake tenants, forged electronic signatures, and special clauses that purported to prohibit the fake tenants from cultivating marijuana at the homes.

“In states that have decriminalized marijuana, we have seen an influx of foreign money used to establish grow operations, with much of the marijuana being destined for out-of-state consumers,” said United States Attorney Nick Hanna. “By establish-

ing illegal drug operations in residential neighborhoods, the defendants increased the risks to law-abiding homeowners, caused neighborhood blight, and stole power from utilities.”

“HSI, together with our law enforcement partners, will continue to target transnational criminal organizations that think they can use our neighborhoods as locations for criminal activity,” said Joseph Macias, Special Agent in Charge for HSI Los Angeles. “Today’s arrests and searches, coordinated jointly with the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department and the U.S. Attorney’s office, are the next step in shutting down criminals who would trash our communities for their own greed.”

Her Excellency María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés was elected as president of the United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly’s 73rd session on June 5, 2018. She is only the fourth woman to hold that position. At the time she was serving as the Ecuadorean Foreign Minister and, according to her U.N. biography, had “20 years of multilateral experience in international negotiations, peace, security, defense, disarmament, human rights, indigenous peoples, gender equality, sustainable development, environment, biodiversity, climate change and multilateral cooperation.” In an interview with Forbes she said, “There needs to be a push for younger women to get involved in the public sphere in general, not only in government, not only in public service, but just to raise their voice on very critical issues that we’re facing.”

LA Arboretum in Arcadia Celebrates Peacock Day

Tenor James Onstad. – Courtesy photo / Pittance Chamber Music

Pittance Chamber Music Presents Evensong With James Onstad Pittance Chamber Music, known for featuring the extraordinary resident artists of the Los Angeles Opera pit and stage, presents “Evensong with James Onstad,” an evening offering of beloved works

by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Johannes Brahms, as part of Pittance Chamber Music’s fifth anniversary season. The concert is set to take place in Barrett Hall at the Pasadena Conservatory of Music on March 31 at 7:30 p.m.

The program features American tenor James Onstad, pianist Paul Floyd and members of the Grammy-winning LA Opera Orchestra: violinists Ana Landauer and Grace Oh, violists Shawn Mann and Alma Fernandez, and cellist Rowena Hammill. The program will include Vaughan Williams’ “Phantasy Quintet and Four Hymns for Tenor, Viola and Piano” and Brahms’ String Quintet in G major, Op. 111.

Hailed as "sensitive and precise” and “hauntingly beautiful” by New Classic Los Angeles (LA), American tenor James Onstad is an exciting new presence on the concert and operatic stage. Recent performances include debuts with the Chicago Symphony (in Bernstein’s Mass) and the LA Philharmonic (in John Cage’s sprawling operatic epic “Europeras” - a co-production of the LA Philharmonic and The Industry). In August and September of 2018 Onstad appeared in title role of Leonard Bernstein’s “Candide” in a co-production with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra and the Clarence Brown Theater, described by Hedy Weiss of WTTW Chicago as “beautifully sung, emotionally true.”

A versatile artist, Onstad

enjoys performing a wide range of repertoire from classical masters to modernday innovators. An ardent advocate of new music, he is a regular performer with The Industry, and has collaborated closely with MacArthur Genius Award recipient Matthew Aucoin, singing in Aucoin’s opera “Crossing” with the American Repertory Theater (in 2015) and

at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (in 2017), as well as premiering the role of Jake in Aucoin's “Second Nature” with Chicago Lyric Opera Unlimited.

Monrovia Resident and CAL State LA Students Captivate Audiences With Afro-Latin Ensemble in ‘Setenta’ Album The renowned Cal State Los Angeles (LA) Afro-Latin Ensemble has released its second album, “Setenta,” a vibrant compilation of beloved classics and new compositions that represent the past and future of the genre.

Under the guidance of Monrovia resident and band director Professor Paul De Castro, the Cal State LA Afro Latin Ensemble has produced a passionate, sophisticated work that revels in its cultural tradition. Breezy flutes and bright trumpets, nimble and intricate percussion work and a sultry modern take on Leonard Bernstein’s “Maria” are just a few of the delights this joyful album packs.

“The goals were very high.

I didn’t accept second-rate anything,” De Castro said of the album. “We had the best

arrangements, great guest stars, and I put the pressure on the students.”

‘Setenta’ (Spanish for seventy) was named to commemorate Cal State LA’s 70th anniversary and is the second release from Aerie Records, which was launched in 2014 by Cal State LA President William A. Covino and his wife, Debbie Covino.

“The roots of Cal State LA’s Afro Latin Ensemble reach deeply into Los Angeles, and Setenta’s rich connection to the cultural fabric of our region has culminated in a work that is timeless,” President Covino said.

The group began in 1999 as a Latin jazz ensemble, founded by students who sought the advice of De Castro, a Cal State LA alumnus and faculty member in the College of Arts and

The renowned CSULA Afro-Latin Ensemble. – Courtesy photo / Facebook, Cal State Los Angeles Afro Latin Ensemble

Letters.

As a well-respected scholar of Afro Latin music and a talented professional pianist, De Castro was an

ideal faculty advisor for the fledgling Latin jazz ensemble.

He incorporated traditional Caribbean rhythms, particularly those from Cuba, and

invited vocalists to join the group.

Wearing signature guayabera shirts featuring the Cal State LA logo, the ensemble

has enthralled audiences at venues such as the Autry Museum and Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles. In 2000, the 22-person ensemble performed in Cuba, and 10 years later, they played before an appreciative audience of 2,000 in China.

To create “Setenta,” De Castro relied on alumni and friends of the program. He points to one of his favorite tracks on the album, “Trombonático,” as an example of that collaboration. For the trombone section, De Castro relied on former students, including Luis Bonilla, one of the premiere trombone players in the world.

DIGITAL DIRECTION Continued From Page 1

to fill you in on state, local and county news within Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, and Riverside counties and surrounding communities every Thursday morning.

The reason for this expansion is palpable. Our world has transformed profoundly.

At our fingertips, a smartphone has now become our main source for news and entertainment.

We at Beacon Media embrace this technology and will influence a much larger audience than ever before, while still offering our Thursday print editions to include investigative journalism as well as local, regional and state news that is important to all of us.

According to the Pew Research Center for Journalism and Media, “Newspapers are a critical part of the American news landscape, but they have been hit hard as more and more Americans consume news digitally. The industry’s financial fortunes and subscriber base have been in decline since the early 2000s, even as website audience traffic has grown for many.”

Much like the way the Gutenberg printing press revolutionized the world of communication, the internet has transformed the world in which we live with email, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and seemingly endless resources, all available on your smartphone.

We, at Beacon Media News, embrace this remark-

able evolution in communication and hope you enjoy reading our digital news as much as the print editions.

While embracing the long history of the newspaper and printing industry, we at Beacon Media feel confident that change is a constant in our society and one can only embrace the future with a deeply respectful tip-of-thehat to those who transported us to this brave new world.

Innovation and education advocate for this progress.

We hope you’ll join us on this incredible journey. As always, we sincerely appreciate your loyal support and readership these past 22 years.

Meat District Co. Unveils New Brunch Menu Brianna CHU briannahhchu@gmail.com

S

ome readers may already recognize Meat District Co. from last November’s feature on the restaurant in the Business Spotlight. If not, head to our website - the article is called “Everything Must Go: The Reinvention of Meat District Co.”!

If you’ve never been to the restaurant, it’s got a modern, industrial atmosphere with rustic, warm touches. You can see right into the open kitchen and even the curing station, with meat hanging from hooks, in the back pantry area. The bar at the back of the restaurant is backed in white subway tiles with warmhued lighting. Behind the hostess table is a display case with golden knives and other implements.

The industrial touches are everywhere: the ashy wooden clogs on the walls, the open bulbs of the light fixtures, concrete floor. The floor length windows in the front bring in stunning rays of light from without, especially given the typically sunny Southern California mornings.

Their new brunch menu is available to peruse and choose from every Sunday from 11 am-3 pm. I’ll review the main several savory items and take you through their two sweet brunch items.

Is it California without avocado toast? Meat District serves their smashed avocado on two slices of charcoal French bread, with a colorful mixed salad of carrots, arugula, slices of cucumber and baby yellow and red cherry tomatoes. The addition of lemon and pickled red onion on top brings welcome acidity to the toast.

This avocado toast is definitely the healthy brunch option, but you can add eggs for that extra dose of brunch luxury!

Their steak and eggs was everything that I’ve always wanted steak and eggs to be. I’ve been to diners for brunch before and eyed the steak and eggs on the menu before deciding that diners’ specialties aren’t usually steak, so I’d be better off ordering

and the chili flakes complemented the tender filet wonderfully.

Their brunch menu features only two sweet brunch items, but seems an understandable decision for a restaurant with a greater focus on meat. The first of the sweet options was the picturesque French toast, made from firm, dense, two-toned bread.

It wasn’t inherently sweet, so I recommend dousing in syrup to your taste for your fill of sweetness! On the flipside, I did not think the peanut butter and jelly pancakes needed syrup - it was perfectly sweet and nuanced all on its own. Also, a perk of the pancakes? They came with a plate of two eggs however you like them and choice of bacon or eggs.

I love bacon, but I suspected that the sausage might be something out of the ordinary - and I was right! It was a cheddar jalapeño sausage that had heavier and richer taste from the cheese, with a palate-warming kick from the jalapeño in the sausage! But I digress. The star of the show, the PB&J pancakes, were cloud-soft yet bouncy and crisp around the edges, with added flavor from a hint of cinnamon. The tart and Top left: filet benedict.

y recent trip to the Belmond El Encanto hotel (www.belmond. com) in Santa Barbara was highlighted by more than a luxury hotel, hidden in the hills; the getaway also introduced me to the historic Old Mission Santa Barbara and the new MOXI Museum.

Founded by Spanish Franciscans on Dec. 4, 1786, the Santa Barbara Mission (www.santabarbaramission.org) was the 10th of 21 California Missions created by the Spanish Franciscans monks. The Old Mission sits on 13 acres overlooking the ocean, and today, more than 200 years later, the Mission continues to be the chief cultural and historic landmark in the city of Santa Barbara.

To get to the mission, a friend and I walked about 10 minutes from our room at the Belmond El Encanto hotel. The walk took us through a beautiful neighborhood in the hills above the city. When we arrived

It was easy to see why it has been called “Queen of the Missions.”

To begin my exploration of the Mission, I paid the $9 adult entry fee and took a self-guided tour. The grounds are highlighted by the beautiful Mission church, Historic Cemetery and Mausoleum, and multiple lush gardens, including La Huerta Historical Garden, which features authentic and ancient Mission-era plants, trees and paintings.

My first stop was the Mausoleum, which is situated in the center of the cemetery and surrounded by 200-year-old sandstone walls. Since 1893, this simple structure has served as a final resting place for Franciscan friars and a number of prominent citizens who were part of the early history of Santa Barbara. In 2011 the building underwent a massive renovation that

included the addition of a columbarium with niche spaces for inurnments of cremated remains.

The Mission also houses a nine-room museum of historical artwork and artifacts, which includes the Chumash Room, featuring Native American artifacts, along with traditional crafts and tools; a re-creation of a 17th century kitchen with original 1790’s adobe wall and 1805 front stone wall; a Padre’s bedroom with chess set, Bishop’s glasses, staff and desk set; and a Trades room with agricultural, blacksmithing, and weaving tools, as well as historical mission-era photos.

After touring the Old Mission, I drove to the MOXI Museum (www.moxi.org), Downtown Santa Barbara’s newest hands-on destination for families and curious minds of all ages. “MOXI is a place where you can explore and discover new things about the world around you, ask questions, seek answers and have a blast doing so,” says the museums website.

The three-level museum building is filled with interactive experiences, orga-

nized around seven themes that all relate to science, technology, engineering, arts and math.

The first thing people see when they enter the main lobby is the Sheldon Family Handprint Globe, a giant, hanging, light-filled globe that guests can put their hand prints on and see them projected on a screen.

Another cool exhibit is Sound Track, where visitors can journey inside a Giant Guitar to learn about how famous guitar riffs are created. Guests can then take control of the Reactable, part digital DJ table, part futuristic musical instrument. They can also experience Hollywood magic and step into Foley

Studios to create their own sound effects for a popular film clip.

Photography in the Facetune Era: Lyd and Mo Husband-and-wife team up to offer timeless portraits and more

emily g. peters emilygpeters@gmail.com

“W

hen photographing portraits, you have to bring out the essence of a person,” says Mo Cee, co-owner with his wife Lydia Tam of Lyd and Mo Photography in Pasadena.

“Too often I see photographers too focused on their gear—but photography is having a connection with the subject.”

You’ve probably seen Lyd and Mo’s work without knowing it. These three-time “Best of Pasadena” winners have carved out a name for themselves around town, working with many local businesses, nonprofits, entertainers, even the Doo Dah Parade.

But capturing an “essence” that jives with the subject’s view of themselves requires a lot of finesse, especially in 2019.

“The rise of phone photography hasn’t impacted our business financially, but

you’d be surprised at how much Photoshop people want done. People look like enemy versions of themselves!” jokes Mo. Lyd explains it is part of the reason why the couple works so well as a team.

“Getting a great portrait is about flexibility and keeping someone calm. If we see they’re nervous, we slow down and let them be themselves,” she says, noting how she tracks outward details so Mo can focus on shooting. “I make sure we don’t lose the narrative along the way. A little art direction can do a lot to show someone’s confidence.”

In addition to her skill as a photographer, Lyd’s corporate background supplies a business mindset to the studio, while Mo brings more than 25 years of experience behind the camera. The pair focuses heavily on business, fashion, events and lifestyle photography, but both have their favorite projects—Lyd favors weddings while Mo enjoys environmental portraits. Their sizeable studio sits snugly in Pasadena’s Playhouse District, affording them

a higher level of exposure than they might have had otherwise.

“We’ve only been here four years, but we've risen up as someone to notice and host a lot of activities and events,” says Mo, “including free singer/songwriter showcases the last Friday of every month,

music workshops, creative dance, even free meditation classes.” The community can also walk in simply to enjoy Lyd and Mo’s work.

“It’s a public space, a gallery,” explains Lyd. Plus, coffee and tea are always available to any passerby. “We have an open door policy.”

What those passersby will see are the faces—styled, certainly, but real—of the many Lyd and Mo clients the pair has shot over the years. As artists, they also understand the practical use of a good portrait—and even with the impact of celebrity and social media on our outward appear-

ances, the couple remains hopeful about photography’s future.

It was a sell-out crowd. – Photo by Terry Miller / Beacon Media News

Arcadia’s Mardi Gras Food Fest Raises $230K for Cancer Services at Methodist Hospital The Methodist Hospital Foundation’s 24th annual Mardi Gras Food Fest was held on March 5 at Sirona’s Restaurant in Santa Anita Park, raising more than $230,000 for cancer services at Methodist Hospital of Southern California, a record high for this annual beads and boa celebration.

A sell-out crowd of 1,100 people attended Mardi Gras, which also set records for

highest attendance in the 24-year history of the event.

The Foundation honored internal medicine specialist Dino Clarizio, MD, and his wife, Hope, as the honorary King and Queen of Mardi Gras.

A record 67 event sponsors, led by Mardi Gras title sponsors Arcadia Gardens Retirement Hotel and Arcadia Healthcare Center, helped fill the room.

Event co-chairs Sophia Chan, Mark Hafeman and Patty Soldo and the members of the 2019 Mardi Gras committee created a festive party atmosphere for all to enjoy.

The most popular class at Action Arts Movement Lab is their hip-hop class.

Joe Chaplin, the instructor, is high-energy and highly motivational. He adapts every class to meet each student’s needs and makes the class incredibly fun.

Gaga classes have been very popular with adult students. It’s a dance style created by the famous Israeli dance company Batsheva. All movers from beginners to professional dancers enjoy the uniquely emotive and freeing experience in this non-stop movement class.

Everyone loves the vibe of the studio. Teachers love the new floor (so important to have the right dance floor) and the brand new sound and lighting system.

Both teachers and students state that the ambience of the studio and the variety of classes makes them want to dance.

Joe Chaplin (third from the left) has become a teacher and choreographer for several top ranking dance studios and companies including Green Kite Records. – Courtesy photo / AAML

In early June, Action Arts Movement Lab is planning to present a performance showcasing students in various styles especially hip-hop, musical theater and contemporary

dance.

Pasadena Chamber Of Commerce Arcadia High School Student-Run Returns to Eliot Arts Magnet With $Ixth Podcast Wins CalSPRA Award of Merit Grade ¢ents Financial Literacy Workshops Five-week program included information on the finance, budgeting, credit, banking and more from program partner Wells Fargo The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and Civic Association undertook the sixth year of its $ixth Grade ¢ents financial literacy program for sixth graders at Eliot Arts Magnet. “We were very pleased to be invited back to Eliot Arts Magnet for a sixth year of financial literacy workshops for sixth graders,” said Pasadena Chamber CEO Paul Little. “Every sixth grader at Eliot is getting basic information on financial literacy, including budgeting, banking, credit and finance.”

For most of the program, volunteers from local branches of Wells Fargo provide insights and information on money handling, budgeting, savings, banking and credit. The representatives of the bank have ties to the local community and reflect the students they are interacting with. A few presenters are alumni of Eliot.

“We really work to ensure the Wells Fargo volunteers are people the students can

see and think ‘that could be me’,” Mr. Little remarked. “We want young people to see that careers in banking and finance are achievable for them.”

Sixth Grade ¢ents is embedded in the sixth grade math classes at Eliot. Math teachers work with Chamber staff and volunteer presenters to ensure that the financial literacy workshops reflect and reinforce the lessons

being taught in the classroom.

“Math is really a language for business. What seems to engage the students is equating the mathematics they are learning with money and finance,” Mr. Little said.

Video may rule social media, but a new platform is on the rise: podcast.

This is something Arcadia High School’s Podcast Team knows all too well, especially after winning recognition from the California Schools Public Relations Association (CalSPRA).

But who exactly is behind the now award-winning podcast, “Keepin’ It Arcadia”?

The podcast team is made up of a group of passionate interns who are part of the Arcadia Unified Digital Communications Internship (DCI), led by junior Jeffrey Lee. Lee, who was one of the original podcast team members, now leads a team of 12 high-schoolers, ranging from freshmen to seniors, all of whom were very much taken by surprise when AHS principal, Dr. Brent Forsee, walked in to help present the award. After overcoming his initial shock, Lee gave a brief but heartfelt speech, emphasizing his genuine gratitude that his “team’s hard work was recognized,” calling it

“one of the happiest days of my life.”

Though the podcast team may be making its way to success now, things weren’t always so easy. “One of our biggest difficulties was getting the whole operation off the ground,” recalled Lee, “when we first started, the team had little experience in podcasts and had to do a lot of research to put everything together, piece by piece.” Lee explains that he himself volunteered to manage the podcast out of a passion for talking and learning about unique things rather than a particular aptitude

RETIRED COUPLE

for podcasting, and got “hooked to the rewarding experience of podcasting” only after releasing his first episode.

The podcast team actually first came together after the Arcadia Unified (AUSD) Chief Communication Officer and DCI adviser Ryan Foran started his own PR podcasts and discovered the rapidly growing popularity of podcasts. Originally, the podcast was going to be run by Amber Nuuvali, the public information specialist, and himself, but they “wanted more student voice and input” in the district’s social media presence to make it truly “by the students, for the students.” And truly, the students run the podcast almost completely independently, with little supervision from their advisers.

Reader Responds to ‘Pam Fitzpatrick Memorial Bench Set to Unveil March 8’ Dear Editor,

If you leave candidates waiting too long or make the process difficult, don’t be surprised if they ghost you. – Courtesy photo / marc cornelis (CC BY 2.0)

C R AREE ORNE

Trouble Finding Candidates?

Try This Angela COPELAND, angela@copelandcoaching.com

I

read articles about candidates who are ghosting employers. They’re not showing up to interviews. They’re not showing up on their first day. They’re disappearing and employers are frustrated. On top of the ghosting phenomenon, employers can’t seem to find enough qualified candidates.

It’s like there just aren’t any good people left.

If you’re a hiring manager and you’re having trouble hiring, here are a few tips.

First, think back to the last time you looked for a job. I’m not talking about the time a friend called and offered you something you didn’t know was open. I’m talking about the last time you felt down and out. I’m talking about a time when you were applying to everything you could find and were pinning your entire future on each interview.

Remember how crazy that

time felt? How vulnerable it felt? Keep that in mind and do your best to treat everyone you interview with the same level of respect you would want to receive.

Make it easy to apply.

Don’t you hate those long online applications? So do job seekers. Make the process easy and you’ll have more candidates to pick from.

If you’re going to ask candidates to take tests as part of the interview process, think hard about it. Personality tests and IQ tests are not perfect indicators of future performance. But they’re a sure fire way to turn off candidates. If you decide that tests are for you, at least save them until late in the interview process. Don’t force candidates to devote time to your screening process if you’re not committed to investing time first.

Be flexible with candidates. I’m not talking about interviewing candidates on the weekend but when you offer times for interviews give more than one day and more

than one time. Schedule interviews a few days ahead of time, so the candidate will have time to reorganize their schedule. Don’t force the job seeker to pick between their existing commitments and you. They don’t even know you yet.

Follow through on your commitments. If you tell the job seeker that you’ll let them know something next week, then let them know something next week. If next week comes and you don’t have the update yet, let them know that. They’ll understand.

To me, one of the Bible’s most tragic passages is Exodus 1:18, which reads: “Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.”

No one will ever know of course, but I believe that if the new king had known about Joseph (the Hebrew who, centuries earlier, rescued Egypt from a sevenyear famine), he would not have reigned as the oppressor of Hebrews but would instead have looked kindly upon them, since it was their ancestral kinsman who delivered Egypt from that calamity.

I have used this short introduction only to illus-

trate how sad it is to forget someone whose memory should remain in our hearts.

It gladdens me, therefore, that Monrovia has honored Pam Fitzpatrick with a memorial bench.

Thus, unlike Joseph who was forgotten by the king of Egypt, our dear Pam Fitzpatrick will not be forgotten by the citizenry of Monrovia, the town which she loved so much.

Monarch butterflies by the thousand. Yes! I said thousand.

Dear Editor, A cloud sent shade over my property this morning. I looked up for a cloud but saw hundreds upon hundreds of baby monarchs flying in a

group overhead.

I rushed to grab my camera and ran outside to look for the source. Across the street at Longden Preschools parking lot trees is where they were coming from and flying west overhead towards Longden School by me. I was only able to photograph small clusters but they have been flying from those trees now for hours.

My neighbor saw a huge group last week down the street.

Could this be great news for preservation in Temple City? Are they growing in one of our trees like they do in Northern California? It’s a huge tourist market at this sight.

Are we along their path only? How can we find out or who do we call?

CAMPOS AND BLANCA E. CAMPOS, WHO ARE MARRIED TO EACH OTHER, as Trustor(s), in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 310 EAST OLIVE AVENUE #E, MONROVIA, CA 91016 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $57,594.33 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
