Officers imme diately restrained DePape, while Pelosi appeared to be unconscious on the ground. As set forth in the complaint, once DePape was restrained, officers secured a roll of tape, white rope, a second hammer, a pair of rubber and cloth

Current projections of global warming project rising temperatures by as much as 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100. If global warming exceeds 1.5 degrees Celsius—or 2.7

degrees Fahrenheit—a number of potentially irreversible events become more likely.

In the United States, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed in August to reduce pollution, make transit

cleaner, increase access to clean energy, and combat global warming. While federal programs will evolve from this legislation to help commu nities across the country, individuals can also take the

necessary steps to promote sustainability and fight global warming.

Change starts at home; and as the reality of climate change and its causes comes into focus, many people are

making strides to affect change by adopting greener habits in their daily lives. To that end, The Rounds researched simple ways to make your home— and household habits—more sustainable.

Report states Pasadena officer's fatal shooting of suspect complied with policy

By City News Service

APasadenapolice officer who fatally shot a Black man running from a 2020 traffic stop — prompting months of protests — acted within department policy, accord ing to the results of an internal investigation released last week.

The report from the department's Use of Force Review Board, and affirmed by interim Police Chief Jason Clawson, found that the use of force employed by Officer Edwin Duma guindin in the Aug. 15, 2020, shooting of Anthony McClain was in compliance with the department's useof-force policy.

The city noted, however, that disciplinary action is still pending against the officer for failing to activate a body-worn camera in a timely manner at the onset of the confrontation.

"The Pasadena Police Department takes all uses of force seriously, espe cially those which result in the loss of a person's life," Clawson said in a statement. "I am commit ted to holding myself and the other members of the department accountable for our actions, individually and collectively, and I am confi dent that we took a critical and comprehensive look at what happened.

"I encourage the public to review the complete investigation. Ultimately, this incident resulted in the loss of Mr. McClain's life, and it was tragic for all those involved and for the community."

McClain, a probationer, was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over by officers near Raymond Avenue and Grandview Street about 8 p.m. Aug. 15, 2020. The 32-year-old man was shot at least once in the upper body after he got out of the vehicle and began running, and died that night at a hospital, authori ties said.

Then-Police Chief John Perez later released police videos of the shooting, saying the fleeing McClain could be seen holding a gun in his waistband as he bolted from the passenger seat of the car, and that he then held it in his left hand as he ran.

Attorneys for McClain's father allege the fleeing man was holding his belt buckle and that a gun recovered across the street was not tied to him but was "planted" by officers. A gun is not clearly visible in the video footage released by the police department, but McClain is seen with his hand at his waist as he begins to run.

Pasadena police have said that a DNA test estab lished a link between the firearm recovered at the scene and McClain. The DNA test, which was conducted by the sheriff's Scientific Services Bureau, determined that McClain's DNA and no one else's was found on the firearm, according to the department.

Earlier this year, the District Attorney's Office declined to file any criminal charges against the officer, concluding there was "insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable

doubt that Dumaguindin's decision to use deadly force was unreasonable." Prosecu tors found that "the evidence presented strongly supports that McClain possessed a firearm."

McClain's shooting -- occurring about three months after the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis -- set off waves of protests against the Pasadena Police Department and allegations of excessive force. Relatives of McClain filed multiple lawsuits.

The city last year reached a $7.5 million settlement with the three mothers of three minor children fathered by McClain. A separate lawsuit by McClain's father and other relatives is still pending in Los Angeles federal court. Relatives contend that McClain was shot in the back.

"I don't see no reason why he should have been shot in the back and killed," McClain's father, Archie Barry, said shortly after his son was shot. "I don't know if I can live with this the (rest) of my life."

The city of Pasadena has also retained the Office of Independent Review to investigate the shooting. That report is still pending.

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 of ten 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 different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to sell fast, and sell for top dollar.

To order your FREE Special Report, call toll-free 1-888-3004632 and enter 1016. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free copy NOW to learn how to price your home to your maximum financial ad vantage.

Sustainable home

minute and 400 tons of plastic waste are produced annually, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. The manufacture and removal of single-use plastics, such as water bottles, create significant greenhouse gas emissions contributing to global warming. There are approximately 75 million to 200 million tons of plastic waste in the Earth's oceans right now.

By using water filters at home instead of buying bottled water, consumers can help decrease greenhouse gas emissions and reduce harmful waste. The U.S. Environmen tal Protection Agency offers guidelines to help consum ers choose water filters that best fit their needs, as filters can range from those fitted to bottles, taps, or pitchers to more complex reverse osmosis

systems.

And before you head out, don't forget to fill up a reusable aluminum thermos or bottle so you have water on the go.

Sort trash into compost or recycling bins

Recycling reduces waste and saves natural resources, prevents pollution, and conserves energy. Items accepted for recycling can vary across the United States, but common items include plastic bottles, aluminum and steel cans, glass containers, and newspapers. Important for proper recycling is to ensure mediums aren't mixed: Jars with peanut butter still in them, for example, can't be recycled; it's essential materi als are all well-cleaned before ending up in the bin.

Food and yard scraps comprise nearly one-third of trash—a metric that can be all but eliminated by compost ing. Compost bins can be

established indoors or out and provide essential benefits to the soil while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting what ends up in the waste stream. Be sure to keep animal products out of the bin so as to not attract pests and rodents. Examples of some items that can be included are: Fruits, veggies, coffee grounds, dried egg shells, leaves, grass clippings.

If you're living in a city and don't have room for your own compost bin, look for local compost collectors to pick up your scraps for a monthly fee.

Swap in LED lightbulbs instead of buying new CFLs

Lighting is responsible for 5% of greenhouse gas emis sions and 15% of electricity use worldwide, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Switching to LED lights—the highest-efficiency bulbs on the market—could cut U.S. elec tricity use in half, making this a

simple way to increase sustain ability in the home.

LED bulbs use an estimated 15% less energy than compact fluorescent light bulbs, and don't contain the dangerous mercury vapor found in the latter. Combine this with their higher efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions and it creates a greater cost savings for consumers.

The Department of Energy is moving the needle on this shift with new regulations related to light bulbs imple mented in April 2022.

Buy new parts instead of new appliances

Repairing home appli ances before buying new ones saves money while promoting sustainability.

Buying parts and repairing broken appliances yourself, or having a professional do the repairs, may be a good option if repairs cost less than half of a new appliance or if the appli

ance is less than 10 years old. Consumer Reports even offers interactive online tools to help consumers make smart deci sions about repairing appli ances including refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines.

When the issue is more aesthetic than functional, upcy cling is an option to increase the longevity of an appliance. For example, painting kitchen appliances a new color is much more environmentally friendly than discarding refrigerators and dishwashers that are in working order. And when it is time to finally say goodbye to a well-used appliance, the Envi ronmental Protection Agency offers guidelines through its Responsible Appliance Disposal Program.

Let your fans do the work

A study released by Austra lia's University of Sydney in April 2022 reported that using fans in homes helps residents

stay cool without using as much air conditioning. Cooling costs decreased by nearly 70%, marking a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This is an impor tant finding to help address climate change, as air condi tioners and fans comprise nearly one-fifth of electricity used globally, and air condi tioners produce almost 4% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.

Many varieties of fans are available for use in the home, including ceiling fans, window fans, and tower fans. Pro tip: When using ceiling fans in the summer, set the blades to spin counterclockwise to push air down and keep rooms cool.

MADIA Tech Report: Charging up to an electric future

By Brenda J. Trainor

The clever entrepre neur knows how to adapt to changes in their business environ ment, and if your business is being an electrical contrac tor, the environment can be a driving factor in your business.

California is leading the way among states enacting policies to adapt to changing demands for electricity gener ation and distribution. Alco Building Solutions (ABS) is an Arcadia-based company that is responding to these evolving policies and customer needs. Kris Kimble will discuss ABS’s progressive business strategy at the next hybrid meet-up of MADIA Tech Launch (www. madiatech.org) on Wednes day, Nov. 9, 6:30-8:30 p.m., at Tanner Research, 1851 Huntington Drive, Duarte, CA.

Consumers, both resi dential and commercial, are seeking out new energy solu tions, like solar power, LED lighting systems, and electric vehicles. ABS is a designbuild contractor integrating energy efficiency technology, renewable energy solutions and power delivery infrastruc ture. The company delivers turn-key solutions for solar, battery storage, and electric vehicle charging stations.

And as Forbes has reported, California is among the lowest ranking states for EV-tocharger port ratios “with more than 27 plug-in vehicles per

charging port … well above the median U.S. ratio of 14 EVs per port.” And with the potential of federal and state infrastructure funds avail able, installing EV charging stations is a growing business.

The public is invited to attend this Alco Building Solutions presentation at the MADIA Tech Launch meet-up in person at Tanner Research or via Zoom. All attendees should register in advance through Eventbrite, https:// bit.ly/3gVlGP8, Zoom partici pants will get an email link, and in-person attendees are charged $16.60 that includes a delicious dinner from Little Green Forks.

MADIA Tech Launch is a nonprofit educational organi zation supporting the techni cal entrepreneurial commu nity in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley.

Judge strikes former West Covina mayor's defamation claim against legislators

By City News Service

Ajudge has dismissed a former state assem blyman's defamation claim against two sisters who are current members of the state Legislature — includ ing one who is the plaintiff's ex-wife — whom he alleged maligned his reputation while speaking out on domestic violence issues.

Pomona Superior Court Judge Peter A. Hernandez issued his ruling last week in the suit brought by ex-Assem blyman Roger Hernandez — who is unrelated to the judge — against the plaintiff's ex-spouse, 51-year-old state Sen. Susan Rubio, and her 53-year-old sibling, Assem blywoman Blanca E. Rubio.

The Rubio sisters filed a motion under the state's anti-SLAPP — Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation — law, which is intended to prevent people from using courts, and potential threats of a lawsuit, to intimidate those who are exercising their First Amendment rights.

The judge heard argu

ments on the motion on Sept. 7, then took the issues under submission before ruling on Thursday. In his opposition to the anti-SLAPP motion, Hernandez maintained in his court papers that the motion was "frivolous and nothing more than an attempt to harass plaintiff at this earliest stage of litigation."

Hernandez, now 47, was elected at age 24 to the Rowland Unified School District Board of Education. He later won a seat on the West Covina City Council, then served from 2010-16 in the state Assembly before being termed out.

Susan Rubio is a former Baldwin Park city council woman who was elected to the state Senate in 2018. Blanca Rubio succeeded Hernandez in his former Assembly seat in 2016.

Hernandez and Susan Rubio were wed in June 2013 and he filed for divorce in December 2014. In his suit filed on May 6, Hernandez, in addition to defamation, also alleges intentional interfer

ence with contractual rela tions and intentional inter ference with prospective economic relations.

According to the judge's ruling, Hernandez alleged that in October 2021, Susan Rubio was a keynote speaker at a conference in which she stated that Hernandez committed various acts of violence against her. Hernandez alleged that a month later, Blanca Rubio said Hernandez said during a live panel discussion hosted by UC Irvine that the plain tiff was actively grooming other women for domestic violence and abuse.

The judge said that Hernandez and the Rubios are all public figures and that statements made by two public figures about a third are "likely to be deemed a matter of public interest."

The Rubios made the statements while discuss ing their ongoing efforts to promote legislation to protect domestic violence victims, according to the judge, who also noted that Blanca Rubio

was expressing an opinion and that she actually said Hernandez was grooming other women to disbelieve her sister and not that he was grooming them for domestic violence.

The judge additionally noted that a judge granted Susan Rubio against Hernan dez in 2016 and that it was extended by another bench officer in 2020.

In his court papers, Hernandez maintained that Susan Rubio's domestic violence claim against him was false and that Blanca Rubio's statement that he was grooming other women for abuse was "outrageous."

Hernandez's court papers further stated that he did not dispute that the disputed comments by the Rubios arose from protected speech, but only whether he could "demonstrate a probability of prevailing on the merits" of his defamation argument. The judge concluded he could not and found no actual malice on the part of the Rubios.

WHEREAS, on March 16, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order N-28-20, which suspended “[a]ny provision of state law that would preempt or otherwise restrict a local government’s exercise of its police power to impose substantive limitations on residential or commercial evictions” of certain tenants affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; and

WHEREAS, on March 17, 2020, the City Council ratified the City Manager’s proclamation of the existence of a local emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; and

WHEREAS, on March 19, 2020, the Los Angeles County Pub lic Health Officer issued a countywide health order for residents to remain “safer at home,” and the Chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (“County Board”) issued an Executive Order that imposed a temporary moratorium on evictions for non-payment of rent by residential or commercial tenants impacted by COVID-19 (“County Eviction Moratorium”); and

WHEREAS, as a result of the public health emergency and the precautions recommended by health authorities, many residential tenants in Monrovia experienced sudden and unexpected income loss; and

WHEREAS, on March 31, 2020, the City Council adopted emer gency regulations (“Urgency Ordinance No. 2020-04U”) prohibiting residential evictions for non-payment of rent due to COVID-19 fi nancial hardships and “no-fault” residential evictions, and requiring rent to be paid in full within six months following the expiration or termination of the local emergency; and

WHEREAS, on August 31, 2020, the Governor signed As sembly Bill 3088 (“AB 3088”) into law, which established statewide eviction protections for residential tenants who were negatively im pacted by COVID-19; and

WHEREAS, on September 1, 2020, the County Board amend ed the County Eviction Moratorium to, in part, establish the County’s eviction protections as the baseline for all incorporated cities within Los Angeles County, including cities with their own local eviction moratoria if those moratoria did not include the same or greater ten ant protections as the County Eviction Moratorium; and

WHEREAS, on March 15, 2021, the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program began to accept applications for rent and utility support for up to 18-months in assistance covering the time between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2022; and

WHEREAS, on October 1, 2021, the State eviction moratorium established by AB 3088, and extended and amended by subsequent legislation, for residential tenants who were negatively impacted by COVID-19 expired; and

WHEREAS, on September 13, 2022, the County Board voted to direct the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs, in coordination with others, to prepare and implement an im mediate coordinated strategy of the County’s emergency tenant pro tections phase out with a defined end date of December 31, 2022; and

WHEREAS, to align with the County ending its eviction protec tions on December 31, 2022 and to avoid any potential confusion on the applicability of regulations regarding residential evictions related to the COVID-19 emergency, it is in the City’s best interest to repeal Urgency Ordinance No. 2020-04U as of December 31, 2022.

OPINION

Monrovia Old Town report: Gratitude and giving thanks

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

As we enter into November, the days are getting shorter. The air is turning crisp. Just yesterday, I vacillated between jacket on or off; soup or chili for dinner? I made some preliminary, non-perishable purchases in preparation for Thanksgiving dinner. Halloween has been packed away for another year and I am planning to enjoy one solid month with no holiday decorations.

Lo and behold, today it’s raining. This is our seasonal change, tapping us on the shoulder and it is beautiful; however short-lived it may be. Fall is sort of synony mous with thankful. We celebrate the change in weather as the heat recedes for a bit, leaving us with cool nights and the option to use our fireplaces. Our bodies register these changes, causing us to be more reflec tive as we head toward the holiday season.

Gratitude is impor tant. It helps us feel more positive emotions and deal with adversity. It is a key factor in living your best, most authentic life and has recently been the focus of quite a few health and wellbeing studies. These studies show that people who practice gratitude consis tently, report numerous benefits, such as lower blood pressure, stronger immune

systems, higher levels of positive emotions, more joy, acting with more generosity and compassion and feeling less lonely and/or isolated. Gratitude is so much more than a kitschy calligraphed throw pillow.

We never know how many seasons we will be given and there is always so much to do. If only we lived our lives with this realization so that we could better prioritize the things that truly matter. I wish this knowledge or wisdom, if you will, came to us sooner in life so that we could enjoy the true bounty of what we have been given. So that we could understand and know a deeper sense of gratitude sooner.

There are many ways you can invite the practice of gratitude into your life. You can start by spending a few minutes alone every morning to pray or meditate and give thanks for the blessings you have, one of which is a new day. You can keep a gratitude journal or add gratitude to your current journaling ritual. Make a practice of going around the table and saying something you are thankful for at dinner. Send bedtime “thank yous” out for people, experiences or anything you feel grateful for.

Some of the people closest to me know that I

spend 15-20 minutes every morning doing self-guided meditation that is geared toward gratitude. It is a lovely way to start the day and I truly feel the benefits of it every day.

Pretty soon another season will be gently tapping us on the shoulder. If we are here to receive it, what will we do with it? Take this time of Autumn to reflect on what you planted last spring. On your summer. On how you can do better and be better in the future. A precursor of sorts for our New Year’s resolutions, perhaps. Leaves are falling from the trees and humans need to take the time to shed off the old to welcome the new, as well. The autumn leaves falling symbolize letting go. Let go of the hurts you hold or the stress you carry and be thankful for each day we get to see.

I read once that abun dance and prosperity begin with gratitude and appre ciation. Accept your flaws. Live intentionally. We all have much to be thankful for. If you think you do not, finding your own intro spective balance is key. Be patient, graceful and forgiving. Of others, but also yourself! The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. I prefer the mantra that the grass is greener where you water it.

Send your letters to editorial@beaconmedianews.com - Please be brief.

Besides its fabulous soundtrack, my favorite scene of the movie “Zorba the Greek” takes place after a young woman meets a violent death, and Zorba (Anthony Quinn) asks his boss, who is an intellectual: “Why do the

young die?” And his boss, almost in a whisper, replies: “I don’t know.”

Then, a very angry Zorba asks him: “What do all your damn books tell you? And if they don’t, then what the hell do they tell you?” And his boss answers calmly, “They tell me about the agony of men who can’t answer questions like yours.”

All deaths are tragic, but not all are equal; some are more tragic than others. And the death of those who strive to leave our world a better place (and succeed), are the most tragic and the hardest to accept.

Ralph Walker’s life was among them. May he rest in peace.

OC declares health emergency due to rapid rise of RSV, COVID, flu

By City News Service

Citing a record number of pediatric hospital izations and emergen cy room visits, Orange County was under a health emergency declaration Tuesday, with the county health officer pointing to a sharp rise in cases of the respiratory infection RSV, combined with COVID-19 and flu.

Cases of RSV, or respira tory syncytial virus, have been on the rise nationally, exacerbating a health system still coping with the COVID pandemic and an earlier-thanusual onset of flu season.

"While there isn't a vaccine against RSV, we want OC residents to know there are many ways to protect children and at-risk indi viduals. Following preventive measures, including remain ing up to date with other vaccinations such as flu and COVID-19, can help reduce the severity of disease and can help reduce the burden on hospitals this fall and winter," Orange County Health Officer Dr. Regina Chinsio-Kwong

said in a statement. "Our best shot at protecting ourselves and our children from respira tory illnesses continues to be the same things we practiced throughout the pandemic including the use of masks when indoors around others and staying home when you are sick."

In addition to a countywide declaration of health emer gency, a proclamation of local emergency was also issued, allowing the county to access state and federal resources to address the rise in virus infec tions.

The Orange County Health Care Agency Emergency Medical Services is monitoring regional hospital capacity, and officials said they are working with hospitals experienc ing particularly high patient volumes in pediatric units and emergency departments.

RSV is a relatively common respiratory virus. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most patients recover in a week or two, but it can become a

serious illness for infants and older adults. CDC officials have been tracking higherthan-usual infection numbers, reporting that some regions of the country are already nearing "seasonal peak levels" of hospi talizations and ER visits due to RSV.

The Orange County Health Care Agency recommended that parents seek medical

attention immediately for children showing warning signs, which may include difficulty breathing, signs of dehydration, persistent or high fever, or looking or acting very sick.

The Health Care Agency also offered a list of preventive actions:

-- Do not go to school or work when you are symptom

-- Avoid close contact such as kissing, hugging, and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick, and when you are sick.

-- Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your upper shirt sleeve, not your hands. Mask when indoors or large group settings.

-- Wash your hands frequently, especially before and after eating and using the bathroom.

-- Get flu shots and COVID-19 vaccines to prevent complications from these viral illnesses.

In neighboring Los Angeles County, Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said last week the county was seeing a higher-than-usual number of RSV cases, and health officials were monitoring the situation. Flu cases have also been rising earlier than usual, Ferrer said, coinciding with the recent lifting of many COVID-era prevention requirements, such as mask-wearing, which also served to reduce transmission

of flu and other viruses during the pandemic.

Los Angeles County Supervisors Kathryn Barger and Janice Hahn introduced a motion -- set to be heard during Tuesday's board meeting -- calling on the county to develop a public-outreach campaign to provide parents with information about RSV and preventative measures and encourage childhood vaccina tions. The motion also calls for a report from health officials on RSV case numbers and hospitalizations in the county.

Their motion contends that the positivity rate for RSV has nearly doubled in the past three weeks in the county, "and many hospitals are beginning to report capacity strains."

No exact figures were released, but health offi cials were expected to give an update to the Board of Supervisors Tuesday.

Pasadena hosting 4th annual Pasadena Adaptive Sports Festival on Nov. 5

By Staff

The City of Pasadena in coordination with Triumph Founda tion, a nonprofit organiza tion working to improve the lives of people living with disabilities, will host the 4th annual Pasadena Adaptive Sports Festival on Saturday, Nov. 5, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Brookside Park, 360 N. Arroyo Blvd.

The Adaptive Sports Festival is a free, fun-filled day of sports and fitness activities for people of all abilities. Activities offered include hand cycling, wheel chair rugby, pickleball, disc golf, aquatics, tennis, boccia, adaptive archery, disc golf, boxing, power soccer, a resource fair, and more.

This event is meant to introduce the general public to adaptive sports, showcases individuals with disabilities and helps foster a more inclusive commu nity.

"The City of Pasadena is excited to partner with Triumph Foundation to offer this fun and exciting event,” said Brenda HarveyWilliams, director of Pasa dena’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department. “This is the fourth of what we hope will be many Pasadena-based events promoting acces sible and inclusive sports and fitness opportunities."

“In 2021, the festival attracted close to a thousand participants and really made an impact on everyone who attended. We are so thankful for our partnership with the City of Pasadena,” said Andrew Skinner, who founded Triumph Founda tion in 2008, four years after suffering a spinal cord injury in a snowboarding accident. “Events like this give people with disabilities a chance to push the limits of their ability, play games

with friends and family on a level playing ground, and enhance their quality of life through the benefit of exercise, sports and fitness.”

Andrea Jennings, chair of Pasadena’s Accessibil

ity and Disability Commis sion adds, “The Pasadena Adaptive Sports Festival is a one-of-a-kind, inclusive experience where commu nity members can interact with one another and even

learn a new sport as I did by participating in archery at the 2019 festival. There were great trainers avail able for a variety of learning styles in a very inclusive environment.”
