PUSD BOARD PROHIBITS TRAVEL TO ‘DISCRIMINATORY STATES’ Gus HERRERA gherrera@beaconmedianews.com
T
he Pasadena Unified School District’s (PUSD) Board of Education recently held their final regular meeting before the new school year, which begins on Aug. 14. In a symbolic move of solidarity with the LGBTQ community, the board voted to ban district-funded travel to the following states, deemed to have “discriminatory” laws: Alabama, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas. According to staff’s report, the resolution, which was approved by a count of 5-2 (Board Member Elizabeth Pomeroy and President Roy Boulghourjian in opposition) prohibits travel to any state, that after June 26, 2015, has “enacted a law that … has the effect of voiding … state or local protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expressions … ” Additionally, states that discriminate against “same-sex couples” or have passed laws that create any exceptions to “antidiscrimination laws in order to permit discrimination” are also included in the ban. Originally, the resolution only applied to “certificated staff,” but Board Member
Michelle Richardson Bailey amended the act to include all district staff. Board Members Scott Phelps and Patrick Cahalan, both staunch supporters of the resolution, explained that the although the act may not have a significant fiscal impact, the true effect will be a symbolic one. “This wouldn’t have a dramatic fiscal impact … but I’d be happy to go to other districts and say, ‘why don’t you do this, it’s something we passed,’” said Phelps, “there is history of success … when people do something like this.” Cahalan agreed that the resolution might not be an “Earth-shattering contribution to the Civil Rights movement,” but he supported the act nonetheless. “Every rock on the right side of the scale matters … I’m happy to second this and I support this idea … I’m kind of jealous I didn’t think of this myself,” he said. Board Member Lawrence Torres also agreed with the spirit of the resolution, “the LGBTQ community that are in our care … [are] a very fragile population and they need to know that we’re a community … all of us, and we stand together.” On the other side of the coin stood Boulghourjian and Pomeroy, who both voted against the resolution.

Attempted Kidnapping Suspect Arrested Pasadena Police officers responded to the 100 block of West Maple Street regarding an attempted kidnapping investigation On July 29, at about 8:05 p.m. On arrival, officers talked with the victim who said she was walking west on Maple Street and when she saw a male standing near a parked truck with the passenger door open. As the victim walked by the truck, she felt someone pull her hair, causing her to fall. The suspect dragged the victim several feet back toward his truck and the victim began to scream for
help. A nearby witness noticed the struggle, which caused the suspect to release the victim. The suspect then entered his vehicle and drove away. The case was assigned to Detective Anthony Russo and on August 4, a composite sketch of the suspect and his vehicle was provided to the public. That same day a concerned citizen called the police department and told Detective Russo he had seen a vehicle similar to the SEE PAGE 11

California Voting Rights Act Prompts Arcadia to Draft District Lines Monica Sanchez monicaadeline2@gmail.com
On August 1, 2017, the City of Arcadia discussed the proposal to draft district lines for district-based elections in a public hearing after being threatened with a possible lawsuit based on the California Voting Rights Act. The California Voting Right Act (CVRA) was put into effect in 2003, and its intention is to ensure that all voters have a voice in local elections, specifically ensuring that the votes of minority groups are not being diluted in at-large elections. Currently, Arcadia operates on an at-large voting system, but Attorney Shenkman issued a letter to Arcadia on June 6, 2017 notifying the city that it has 90 days to transition to districtbased elections. Shenkman has also sent letters to other cities across the state. If Arcadia were to fight the lawsuit to keep the status quo intact, then it would require paying a high price to do so. City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto cited Palmdale as an example of one city who took the matter to court, explaining how they paid upwards of at least $4.7 million dollars with additional legal fees. Arcadia wants to avoid facing another lawsuit and brought this proposal public to receive community feedback before making any final decision on how to create district boundaries for

local elections. District boundaries will be created with minority groups in mind, in order to adhere to the CVRA, as well as Homeowner Associations, with respect to cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, and compactness of territory. Creating separate districts means that only voters who reside within a specific district will be able to participate in elections for candidates who represent the district. Former mayor Sheng Cheng congratulated the city council on the transition, saying “with this
change, the individual council member will be more accountable for the district he/she represents.” On the other hand, resident Roger Nemrava thinks “ it’s wrong that the city voters won’t be able to vote for all five council members.” Nemrava insists that “this [action] fractures the city and will result in special interest groups running the city.” And resident Burton Brink questioned, “What will happen when city council members will no longer care about the whole City of Arcadia, but just the little piece of their district pie?” Since there are generally five city council members, the city is looking at drawing up five separate districts. While the city is asking for public feedback on where district lines should be drawn, the city plans to hire the services of a professional demographer and topographer to help complete the project. No action has been taken on the transition to district-based elections yet, as the City Council is waiting for further public feedback before proceeding. Mayor Peter Amundson offered his view on the matter, saying that there was “no abuse of California Voting Rights Act here in Arcadia. It was pretty much the result of a lawyer, and we’re going this way not because we see a problem in the city, but because it’s the most fiscally responsible” course of action.

The Best Thai Food You Haven’t Eaten Yet is At Fresh Thai
Pasadena Publisher Hosts Groundbreaking for New Permanent Space
emily g. peters emilygpeters@gmail.com
P
asadena is home to many reputable restaurants, several of which can claim to be the first, the most popular, even the most highly rated in their niche. But that doesn’t necessarily make them the best. For our money, few can match the delicious things they’re serving up in the kitchen at Fresh Thai. Wedged in a tiny strip mall on Foothill Boulevard, this restaurant-in-miniature only possesses four tables, all with a view of the parking lot. Here, an hour’s meal will see more patrons stream in for pick-up than dine-in, the chef churning out more noodles and curries than seems possible within such a short timeframe. Fresh Thai is not new to the neighborhood. It has enjoyed its minor habitat for several years, but recently came under the management of the Poon family. The look and feel of the restaurant gained a bit more polish and flair. Additions appeared on their already excellent menu and daily specials adorned the wall in colored chalk, including options for our vegetarian and vegan friends. What Fresh Thai lacks in elbow room it makes up for in flavor, spooning it out on the double with dine-in, take out, delivery and catering options. The standout dishes at Fresh Thai are the a la carte stir-fries: perfectly balanced with vegetables, herbs, citrus, sauces and

clean cuts of meat to get your mouth watering. Even simple things like vegetable soup are thoughtful: a clear seasoned broth with vegetables just barely blanched to retain their flavor, texture and color. It’s the kind nourishing, deeply delicious thing you crave when allergies or a head cold have you feeling under the weather. Like any restaurant, experiencing a great meal here instead of an average one depends largely on what you order. Though tasty, one could forego the curries for the spicy noodle dish or the “Fresh Ginger” stir fry with grilled beef. Lunch and dinner combo specials get you an entree, soup, egg roll SEE PAGE 17
On September 10, 2017, Pasadenabased publisher Red Hen Press will host a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the acquisition of its new permanent space. The new offices, located at 1540 Lincoln Ave, will act as both a home for the Press and as a community literary center that will host readings, writing workshops, and after-school programs. The groundbreaking ceremony will commemorate the beginning of several restoration projects necessary to convert the former Family Church International building into a space suitable for the Press’ needs. The event will feature food and refreshments from local vendors, live music performances, and readings by Red Hen authors, and will run from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the new building. One of the few literary presses in the Los Angeles area, Red Hen Press was founded in 1994 by Kate Gale and Mark E. Cull with the intention of keeping creative literature alive. Since that time the press has grown substantially and now publishes between 20 and 30 books each year, hosts reading series in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and London, and runs a Writing in the Schools program that connects published authors with Title I schools to promote
literature and literacy. “Getting here has been a long and exciting journey,” Managing Editor and Founder Kate Gale said at the Red Hen Press annual Benefit held at the Pasadena Westin last October. “To me, Red Hen has always meant ‘community.’ Without that support, we wouldn’t be here, and now, our next plan is the establishment of a Pasadena literary center for art, science, technology, theater and, of course, great bookstores.” Less than a year later, those plans are beginning to come to fruition. “When Mark Cull and I started the press in 1994,” Gale said. “A lot of people told us that LA had too much of its creative intellectual energy consumed by a much more lucrative story-making enterprise— film—for a small, new literary nonprofit to survive. And yet after all this time, here that press remains, and on the verge of making one of the most substantial leaps in the organization’s history.” The Press, currently located at the corner of Lake Ave and Washington Blvd, will move to the new building after renovations have been completed. Admission to the groundbreaking is free and RSVPs are not required.

Lane Shift on Westbound Foothill Freeway I-210 for Pavement Rehabilitation Beginning the week of August 14, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will make temporary changes along westbound Foothill Freeway (I-210) from Lincoln Avenue to Foothill Boulevard. Construction crews will restripe and shift lanes towards the median. Both eastbound and westbound inner shoulders will be used as traffic lanes. The eastbound inner shoulder will become a temporary bypass lane for westbound traffic.
A concrete barrier will separate the eastbound traffic and the westbound bypass lane for the safety of motorists. Two outer lanes on westbound I-210 will close as crews begin to replace the pavement along the freeway. The bypass lane allows all traffic lanes on westbound I-210 to remain open while work is underway, which will be in effect through spring 2018. The Foothill Freeway is a major thoroughfare, serving commuters between Los Angeles and San
Bernardino counties. As a result of heavy use, the road needs to be replaced with new pavement. The temporary traffic lane shift and closures are part of a $148.5 million pavement rehabilitation project on I-210. Once the project is completed in 2018, the new surface will provide a smoother drive for motorists, reduce time required for maintenance, and minimize the need for further lane closures. Motorists are advised to “Be Work Zone Alert.”

Both concerts will begin at 8:00 pm in Caltech’s Ramo Auditorium. This program will feature original work from international destinations such as France, England, Canada, USA, Korea and Japan. Music will include Kamioka In Autumn Skies, Coakley Lyric Essay, Dunlap Character Sketch No. 1, Nelson Courtly Airs and Dances, Chance Variations on a Korean Folksong, Hanson Chorale and Alleluia, and Woolfenden Gallimafry. Featured will be our Associate Conductor, Paul Asimow. Caltech announces Dr. Glenn D. Price as
the new Concert Band Director after the retirement of William Bing, who previously led the Caltech Bands for over 40 years. Dr. Price is also the newly-appointed Director of Performing and Visual Arts Program at Caltech. He has earned an international reputation as a leading conductor and educator through his experience conducting student, community and professional ensembles in over 30 countries. He has conducted many renowned soloists, including Evelyn Glennie, Christian Lindberg, Ney Rosauro, Jens Lindemann, Alain Trudel, Roger Webster, Kenneth Tse, Adam Frey, Simone Rebello, David Campbell, John Marcellus and Michael Burritt. Widely regarded as an authority on the field of wind music, he
has appeared as featured conductor for organizations such as CBDNA, WASBE, ABA, The Midwest Clinic, MENC, and BASBWE. His numerous recordings, most notably with the University of Calgary Wind Ensemble, are recognized for expanding the repertoire while offering a performance model of technical precision and musical artistry. A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, his profession as a noted percussionist gradually yielded to his career as a conductor, which included studies at the Toho Gakuen School of Music in Japan and the Tanglewood Music Center in the U.S., as well as in Europe and Russia. His distinguished performing, teaching
and conducting career has included full-time positions in Canada, Los Angeles, as Director of Wind Studies at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM).

Still Reigning: Slayer Shows Why They’re At The Top Of Their Genre In Concert At The Forum Story and Photos Edwin FOLVEN, gUEST CONTRIBUTOR Whenever Slayer comes to town, you know it’s going be an adrenaline-fueled, raucous good time. The band continues to perennially
kick it up a notch with each tour, blistering fans with a multi-sensory stage show complementing a hardcore musical cacophony unmistakably Slayer. That was the case on Saturday, Aug. 5, when Slayer performed at The Forum in Inglewood. After opening acts Behemoth and Lamb of God whipped the crowd into a frenzy, Slayer took the stage and unleashed a
furious set of cutting-edge newer material coupled with classic songs from the band’s extensive catalog. From the opening song, “Repentless,” on Slayer’s 2015 album by the same name, the audience knew it would be a heartpounding affair. Longtime fans rejoiced when the band followed that up with “The Antichrist,” from the band’s 1983 debut
studio album, “Show No Mercy.” What came next was two hours of mayhem capped with many of the best songs in Slayer’s repertoire. “War Ensemble,” “Dead Skin Mask,” “Hell Awaits,” “South of Heaven,” “Chemical Warfare” and “Angel of Death” were SEE NEXT PAGE

Suspect Arrested after Leaving Suspicious Package at Pasadena PD Daniel Alberto Aguilar, 37, threatened members of the police department in a note

Story & Photos Terry MILLER tmiller@beaconmedianews.com
On Tuesday, August 8, 2017, at approximately 1:20 PM, Pasadena Police personnel noticed a suspicious package placed near the police department’s north entrance door. Officers were unable to locate the owner, and out of abundance of caution and within normal suspicious package protocols, the immediate area was evacuated. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department’s Bomb Squad responded, and after carefully assessing the suspicious package, successfully rendered the package safe. Further examination of the package revealed threatening letters addressed to members of the police department, and items packaged in a manner resembling an explosive device. Pasadena Fire Department’s Arson Investigator Sorensen, assisted with Pasadena Police personnel, conducted a comprehensive investigation that led to the identity and subsequent arrest of the suspect, who admitted to intentionally placing the threatening (suspicious)
package. The suspect has been identified as 37 year old male Daniel Alberto Aguilar, a Pasadena resident. He was arrested Tuesday night, August 8, 2017 at approximately 10:30PM, without incident at his residence. Suspect Aguilar was booked for CA Penal Code 11418.1 – possessing/placing facsimile device of mass destruction with intent to cause fear. Bail is set at $50,000 and he is currently in the custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office on Friday, August 11, 2017, for filing consideration. Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to call Pasadena Police Arson Investigator Trey Sorensen at (626) 744-4040 (weekdays) or the Pasadena Police Dispatch line 24/7 at (626) 744-4241. If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call "Crime Stoppers" by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), use your smartphone by downloading the “P3 Tips” Mobile APP on Google play or the Apple App Store or by using the website http:// lacrimestoppers.org.

“This is one of the very rare instances where I don’t agree with Mr. Phelps,” said Boulghourjian, who had reservations about the resolution’s wording. He argued that having words such as “non-discrimination, freedom, fairness, and equality” in a prohibitive resolution might be counterintuitive and potentially produce the opposite desired effect. “We don’t have to … stoop down to what our opponents are doing and do something negative … I don’t know where the benefit to the kids [is], it might even harm the kids’ education someplace,” said Boulghourjian. Similarly, Pomeroy opposed the resolution, but she argued that the ban might
negatively impact senior district staff who frequent annual educational conferences in Texas. She also felt that the board should focus its efforts on supporting equal access and respect here at home, “rather than saying to a distant state that we wish they would change their laws.” In other news, the board voted unanimously to eliminate three classified positions due to declining enrollment in the district’s early childhood department. Additionally, the district updated school policies regarding mental health and athletic competition. The new mental health policy was developed to increase understanding and awareness of various psychological issues and their early warning signs. The policy will be

He is most likely wearing a white T-shirt, Khaki shorts to the knee, and white socks and tennis shoes. It is unknown if Mr. Foote went hiking on the local trails. The Sierra Madre Police Department is actively searching for Foote and a Missing Person Investigation was immediately launched. Officers investigating the incident, soon learned that Carl's personal belongings, cell phone, wallet, bicycles and vehicle were all left behind at his home in Sierra Madre. An initial Missing
Person Flier was forwarded to surrounding police agencies in the San Gabriel Valley. Mr. Foote did not report to work on Monday morning. In furtherance of the investigation, the Sierra Madre Police Department utilized our partners from the Sierra Madre Search and Rescue coupled with air Support from the Pasadena Police Department. The foothills of Sierra Madre were searched for Foote throughout Monday and into Tuesday morning, but Foote has not been located. Local church and community groups have also formed and joined in the active search for Mr. Foote. At this point in the investigation, there does not appear to be any foul play or criminal element involved in Foote's disappearance.

CSARTS-SGV Welcomes Its First Group of Incoming Students May s. ruiz MayChu@att.net
Aug. 14, 2017 marks a milestone for the Duarte Unified School District (DUSD) when CSArts-SGV officially opens its doors to admit the first group of incoming students to the Art School. A welcome festival on Aug. 18 will celebrate this much anticipated event. An off-shoot of the Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA), CSArts-SGV offers high caliber academic and arts education for students in grade seven through eleven for the 2017-2018 school year, and will expand to twelfth grade the following school year. It was established in 2016 by the California School of the Arts Foundation, a non-profit organization modeled after the nationally recognized OCSA. CSArts-SGV students have ten arts conservatories to choose from including acting, classical & contemporary dance, classical voice, commercial dance, creative writing, instrumental music, integrated arts, musical theatre, production & design, and visual arts. “For years I’ve dreamed of serving more students who have a passion for the arts,” declares Dr. Ralph Opacic, founder and executive director of the OCSA and chief executive officer of California School of the Arts. “Our partnership with DUSD has created an opportunity to provide the San Gabriel Valley and surrounding communities with the same quality academic and arts instruc-

PASADENA UNIFIED NAMES PRINCIPAL OF HAMILTON ELEMENTARY Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) Superintendent Brian McDonald has named Erika Cooper as principal of Hamilton Elementary School, pending Board of Education approval. An educator with 17 years of experience, Cooper served as Hamilton’s curriculum resource teacher, language development resource teacher, and site administrative designee from 20072016. “Mrs. Cooper brings expertise and innovation to her new position as principal of Hamilton Elementary School,” said Superintendent McDonald. “I’m pleased
to promote her to principal to continue accelerating student achievement.” Most recently, Cooper served as a Instructional and English Learner coach at Hamilton Elementary since 2016. She previously taught at Loma Alta Elementary as a blended inclusion teacher. She began her teaching career in 2000 at Norma Coombs Elementary, where she was the Special Day Class (SDC) teacher for grades 6-8. “I am proud to continue to be a part of the Hamilton family at such an exciting time in its highly respected history. I see this time as an
incredible opportunity to continue to build and foster our highly supportive school community,” said Cooper. “I am ever mindful of the strong foundation and traditions that Hamilton's faculty and staff have worked so hard to build for our students and their families. The level of commitment to our students and the mission of our school by Hamilton teachers and staff, our supportive families, and incredible Pasadena community creates an unparalleled opportunity which I enthusiastically embrace.” Cooper has a Master of
Science degree in Psychology from California State University, Los Angeles; a Master of Arts in Education from Claremont Graduate University; and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Riverside. Cooper was named a Teacher of Excellence by the Pasadena Rotary, and authored Hamilton’s California Distinguished School, Blue Ribbon, and Gold Ribbon Award application essays. She replaces Frances Weissenberger, who served as principal since 2009.

There is much in store for the upcoming school year including: the all-school musical – the Tony awardwinning ‘Pippin’ to be held at Azusa Pacific University in November; a cross-disciplinary Master Artist Series which brings nationally renowned guest artists and master teachers to provide extraordinary learning opportunities for students; through a partnership with Descanso Gardens, students will have performance opportunities at the lauded ‘Enchanted: Forest of Light.’

Three of the incoming students include Asia Aragon, a rising junior from La Salle High School in Pasadena, who will be taking commercial dance. Twelve-yearold Victoria Camacho from Northview Intermediate School in Duarte would like to pursue a career in visual arts. Brayden Maniago, a home-schooled 16-yearold aspiring actor from Arcadia, wants to change how Hollywood casts Asians. For Aragon, Camacho, and Maniago, being recognized for their talent without qualifying their specific ethnicity – to be acknowledged despite being of a different race, not because of it – would be a giant leap
in the right direction for the Arts. For them, CSArts-SGV will pave the way for that future.

ell it's that time again. It's time for the moon to pass in front of the sun and completely block its solar rays to a portion of the United States. This year's event will occur on Monday, August 21. It will be the first total eclipse to hit the US since 1979 and will darken skies all the way from Oregon to South Carolina, along a 70-milewide stretch of countryside. The sweet spot, or "path of totality" as astronomers call it, will not only bring darkness; it will also attract millions of star gazers from around the country and world. In fact, while there are about 12 million people living within the total eclipse path, there is another roughly 25 million who live within a 24-hour drive from it. This means a lot of crazy crowds and traffic. To avoid the multitudes, yet still get close enough to truly experience the eclipse, I am looking into a last-

Train Rides, Horse Races and the Great American Solar Eclipse in Ely, Nevada minute trip to Ely, Nevada. This charming and remote town is putting on a giant party for the eclipse, while also celebrating its annual fair and horse racing events. Located in White Pine County, in east, central Nevada, at the crossroads of U.S. Highways 50, 93 and 6, Ely was founded in the 1870's as a trading post called Murry Station, and would become one of the country's major copper mining regions. In 1906 the town welcomed the Nevada Northern Railway. This new railroad was needed for development of the copper industry and was instrumental in the economic growth of Ely and neighboring towns. Today, the well-preserved short-line railway draws visitors from all over the world to ride on its historic steam and diesel engines. This year Ely has cooked up something special, as its annual western celebrations coincide with the
Great American Solar Eclipse. Festivities planned for August 18 - 21 include a solar eclipse train ride on the historic Nevada Northern Railway, offering a unique glimpse into this rare event. Another big attraction is the White Pine Horse Races, the biggest event in the county – a tradition that attracts thousands of people from around the region, country and world. Featuring thoroughbreds and quarter horses, the races run August 18 - 20 with parimutuel betting. This will mark the 82nd year of the races. “White Pine County is a place where tradition is part of day-to-day life, and this weekend is a celebration of our tradition and our community,” says Ely Mayor Melody VanCamp. “Adding the solar eclipse this year just makes the festivities extra special.” Then there is the White Pine County Fair, which dates back 70 years.

fun, features great food and entertainment and brings everyone together for classic Americana fun. “The White Pine County Fair represents rural Nevada’s western history at its finest,” says Tracy Robinson, fair organizer. “The whole community gets
involved to put on the best event possible. We’re a tightknit community and we want to share our authentic traditions by putting on an event that visitors and the community will appreciate.” What makes this year’s festivities extra special is the solar eclipse, which will be celebrated in Ely onboard the Eclipse Express Train Ride, departing the Nevada Northern Railway museum at 9:15 am on August 21. In Ely, the eclipse will reach 83 percent coverage, and a $39 ticket buys passengers special eclipse glasses making it safe to view the solar event. The Nevada Northern Railway Museum is an historic passenger railroad featuring train rides pulled by century-old steam
engines. A registered National Historic Landmark, the museum consists of the original railway locomotives, rolling stock, track, passenger station, and buildings that served the historic copper mining region of Central Nevada for over a century. Other fun events planned for eclipse weekend include the Ely Volunteer Firefighter’s Barbecue, an authentic Ranch Rodeo, dinosaur races, a livestock show, and a team roping event.

Millennial-Only Cruises to Set Sail in 2018 “No cruise for you!” U by Uniworld restricts new cruise lines to Millennials only Sadie gribbon, sadiegribbon@gmail.com
E
very stereotype you have ever heard about millennials is now being brought to you: cruise-ship-style. U by Uniworld has released their millennial-only cruise lines to launch in 2018; with craft coffee bars, yoga classes, unlimited wifi access and plenty of avocado toast to fit the bill. The new cruise line age-restricts its passengers to 21 - 45-year-old travelers. While this pushes the millennial budget by ten years, it still gears all of the cruising amenities to the stereotypical millennial. From the online brochure alone, a millennial can navigate their way into their perfect cruise by personality type. From “The Romantic” to “The Solo Flyer” to somewhere in between like “The Foodie” or “The NIght Owl” U by Uniworld’s new lines seem to have something for every type of millennial. The ship has single rooms with discount rates for shared and they are just as small as any other cruise ship with a range of suites for an additional cost, but that isn’t nearly as important as the proposed experience outside of the room. On board, Millennial heaven continues with silent disco parties where everyone wears headphones and dances to the same DJ set but can take them off to have a conversation, so hipster. On top of that,
there are plenty of yoga studios and Paint and Wine classes, because what’s the point of painting if wine isn’t involved? To conform to the sleep habits of an average Millennial, the daily excursions start later and the nightlife lasts longer. Coffee flows all day and rooftop party decks last all night. Off the boat, there’s cheese tasting, rock climbing, wine making and festivals - like… a lot of festivals. These strictly Millennial cruise lines don’t come cheap, but that doesn’t really matter when we are already drowning in student loans right? Cruise rates for excursions all over the globe begin at $1,699 and add up with each extra amenity.

The new cruise line has paved its own way, Millennial-style; by innovating a concept rather than creating a new one. Instead of having a “Godmother” of the ship, ex-Victoria’s Secret Model/Angel Petra Nemcova was chosen to be the “Guardian Angel” of the new cruise ships. "We're making history with this concept, so rather than follow the traditional 'Godmother' path for each individual ship, we're paving our own way forward," Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of the lines parent-company Uniworld Boutique River Collection, said in a statement. This idea is hard to grapple with and may leave many Millennials torn. As a genera-
tion that prides themselves on being independent from any labels, some Millennials may find this entire cruise concept to seem like another reason for Baby Boomers and Gen Xer’s to make fun of them. On the other hand, the preconception of cruises being a retreat for older generations tends to be offputting and his might just be the solution for Millennials. So which do we choose? Millennial cruises set sail in April 2018.

Recycle Used Oil & Filters! Do you change your car’s motor oil? Did you know that used motor oil and oil filters are recyclable? Used oil can be re-refined or processed into new motor oil. Currently only 46% of used motor oil is being recycled, which means 20 million gallons may be illegally entering California’s waterways via stormwater systems, posing a great risk to the environment. One gallon of used oil can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water; polluting our waterways and threatening fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

‘South Pasadena Father Pleads Guilty to Killing 5-Year-Old Son...’ (Aug. 3 issue) No matter how lucidly a psychologist or criminologist might try to explain what heart of darkness would cause that father to kill his little boy, I’ll never understand how it could happen. Such horror is too much against human nature -- even in the darkest chamber of the id. Perhaps the most wellknown case of intended infanticide is told in Genesis 22:1-14, where Abraham made preparations to kill his son Isaac because God ordered him to do it.
Well, I’m sure that any father, in any age, would refuse God’s order demanding his son’s life. Although Abraham didn’t kill his son after all, can you imagine the terror that innocent child must have felt as he was being led to his death by his father’s own hand? Another thing I’ll never understand is why even now, Abraham is praised for his decision to obey the instructions that God gave him to place his son on an altar and slay him. How would our justice system judge such a man? Would he be declared close to God ... or close to insanity? - David Quintero Monrovia

and rice for a bargain. And as an added bonus? Delivery within a 3 mile radius is free and at your door within 15 minutes. But if you eat-in, it’s on the plate in under five—likely closer to three. The speed of their service is so quick you’d swear it was prepackaged, but the “fresh” in Fresh Thai
is no misnomer. The quality of their vegetables and meat outshines many other restaurants that are more expensive and much less tempting. When it comes to Fresh Thai, the discerning gourmand will overlook its size to enjoy consistently well-crafted fare. For flavor, freshness and affordability, it’s hard to find a better deal
in Pasadena. So leave work early, head out to dinner, and do yourself a favor: get the Fresh Ginger stir-fry—extra spicy. Fresh Thai is located at 3544 East Foothill Blvd. in Pasadena.

aving just returned from what is dubbed the “Super Bowl of Fitness”, I’m excited to motivate, encourage, and help others attain their fitness goals. The recent IDEA WORLD Convention in Las Vegas with more than 10,000 attendees from over 60 countries included a huge expo containing the latest and greatest trends in fitness and nutrition. The goal – to inspire the world to fitness. Being in the fitness profession for 43 years, I still love to learn new things, or old things with a new twist. Probably over 80% of the attendees could have been my children or grandchildren, but we all want to take back from Vegas the information we learned to make this world a healthier, happier place. We are a little more than half way through 2017. Have you achieved those New Year’s Resolutions you made in January? Did you want to lose 20 lbs? Have less stress? Have more energy? Have more strength? Are distractions keeping you from achieving those goals? In 1980, 37 years ago, Jack and Elaine LaLanne invited the Sneider family to their beautiful home in Hollywood Hills. Inside
their home was a large gym fully outfitted with pullup bars, free weights, fitness and weight lifting equipment (some that Jack had invented), an original small rectangular trampoline, and much more. Jack always said, “Exercise is King and Nutrition is Queen”. Elaine LaLanne at 91years young is charming, vibrant and filled with energy as she continues Jack’s legacy. She and Jack have been Harry Sneider and my mentors and our inspiration as fitness trainers through the years. In Vegas it was fun to try out the latest equipment including the CoreStrength1 powered by Jack LaLanne. The convention was an opportunity to meet others with the same mindset – a dedicated doctor who lives in Pakistan, a lady from Idaho who had lost 400 lbs, a motivated personal trainer from Australia, and so many more -- all interested in helping others to move and enjoy better health. Darren Hardy, former publisher and editor of “Success” magazine, delivered the keynote address noting that distraction keeps us from attaining our goals – especially technology distractions such as too much TV viewing and spending too much time on our smart phones. The
latest technology is great but also can create more stress as we are bombarded with information overload. To achieve success: #1. Learn to say “No” more often to distractions, #2. Focus on what you really want and write it down, and #3. Review your goal daily, make it a top priority, and be consistent. Fitness can be as simple as a daily walk outside or on a treadmill, a bike ride, hiking, swimming, dancing. Even jogging on a small trampoline 5 minutes twice a day or a 5 minute workout with dumbbells for strength training can make a difference. If we really want something we often can find the time. It’s never to early or too late to start. But the best time to start is now!! Even as little as a 5 minute walk can make a difference. Exercise is the best medicine. Go for it! You can do it! For comments or questions contact Sarah Sneider at 626-355-8964 or email harrysneider@earthlink.net
