Parking in Pasadena is Such Sweet Sorrow

Got unpaid parking tickets? In July, you may get the boot Parking in Pasadena may cost you a few dollars. According to William Boyer, Public Information officer for city of Pasadena, annual revenue for parking tickets nets the crown city $5.8 Million in fines. However, approximately $1.1 Million is lost due to unpaid violations and the city wants to get that money back, pronto. The city has approximately 2500 vehicles in the database with outstanding parking fines, some of which are multiple offenders. On April 18, the city issued a preliminary ordinance to work with a company that has developed the “Smart Boot” which will render those vehicles unable to drive. Violators with 5 or more unpaid tickets will be subject to getting the boot installed on your car. After the usual municipal governmental processes of ordinance readings etc. and legal notice publica-

tion , the anticipated date for the program to begin is July 17. It’s actually a unique no cost to the city agreement with the boot people, according to Boyer. “The boot release fee will be $157.96 of which the city will receive only $52.96 and the “smart boot” company will receive the lion’s share at $105 per boot installed.” Boyer told Pasadena Independent that once a violator ‘gets the boot’ once
the fine is fully paid and boot release fee paid in full, then the registered owner of the vehicle will receive an electronic code they’ll punch into the keypad on the boot and then be able to drive the car. Return of the boot will be the entire responsibility of the registered owner. Those details are still being worked out. Annually, the city of Pasadena issues 165,000 parking citations.

Pasadena Man Sentenced in Federal Prison for Distributing Child Pornography A Pasadena resident has been sentenced to nine years in federal prison for distributing child pornography over a peer-to-peer file-sharing network. Michael Brian Perry, 38, was sentenced last Monday by United States District Judge Otis D. Wright II. Perry pleaded guilty on February 15 to one count of distribution of child pornography. In a plea agreement filed in court, Perry admitted that in October 2014 he “used peer-to-peer software on his computer hard drive to knowingly share with other peer-to-peer users files that defendant knew contained visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.” When authorities searched Perry’s residence in November 2014, they recovered computer equipment that contained at least 697

Frank had to change his name from Perez to the Italian sounding Perini to be able to buy a house and to be accepted into Arcadia Rotary.

S
nug in the Sierra Madre foothills lives a cafe that has served the hamlet for almost a century: Mary’s Market & Cafe. Mary’s Market got its start in 1921, assuming its current name sometime in the 1950s. Though it had long been a staple in the Sierra Madre community, current owner Mike DeGrazzio saw an opportunity to breathe a little life into the establishment when it went on the market. “Me and Matt Roberts, the chef, held some pretty rad dinner parties at my house for a year and a half. We brought together different folks from my life to share great food and conversation as a way to capture and reciprocate a perfect night,” said DeGrazzio, recalling how he became involved with the cafe. “When we saw that Mary’s was for sale, it seemed like a great forum to open up these experiences to the wider public.” To say that the market is charming is an understatement. Removed from Sierra Madre’s main street area, the cafe serves as a unique purlieu for the quiet canyon part of town. The interior is decidedly picturesque, carrying an assortment of nostalgic candies, specialty
vinegars and oils, and Mary’s Market branded clothing. Open for breakfast and lunch, 15-year chef veteran Matt Roberts’ specials change regularly (like their leek and goat cheese frittata for Mother’s Day). But the menu also includes a rotation of diner-style classics: Belgian waffles, cheesy breakfast sandwiches and DeGrazzio’s personal favorite, the Mary’s Market burger. You could eat indoors—but we suggest the outdoor patio or turquoise bistro tables that face the catch basin and winding canyon road. When the weather is good—which is pretty much all the time in Los Angeles—it’s no less than idyllic. Influenced by Mexican and Southern BBQ cuisine, the cafe’s flavors aren’t confined to the canyon. “We offer monthly private dinners where Matt gets to experiment and showcase his abilities as a chef,” said DeGrazzio. “The dinners are usually seven to eight courses, and typically run over three hours.” Like many of Sierra Madre’s business owners, a respect for the cultural preservation of the town and community involvement is important to DeGrazzio. “Mary’s sponsored a Little League team (go Rays!), and we’ll participate in the Fourth of July parade with an old truck displaying our banner while we
hand out our freshly baked cookies,” he said. And when it comes to the cafe’s target audience, the answer is clear: his neighbors. “The cafe is for the neighborhood, and anybody who likes to enjoy a good meal in a chill location,” said DeGrazzio, who remarked on the need for a peaceful place for locals. “I live in Sierra Madre and really appreciate the Mayberry aspect of slowing down and considering your neighbor. I hope that everyone who comes to Mary’s is able to feel that same intimacy and hospitality as when we were sharing food from my own kitchen.” Mary’s Market and Cafe is located at 561 Woodland Drive in Sierra Madre.

Housing Market Continued from pg 1
Following a strong first quarter start, California housing market downshifts in April. Courtesy photo
406,300 units in April, according to information collected by the California Association of REALTORS®. The statewide sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2017 if sales maintained the April pace throughout the year. It is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales. The April figure was down 2.4 percent from the 416,110 level in March and down 1.7 percent compared with home sales in April 2016 of a revised 413,270. “With pending home sales slowing over the past three months, April’s sales decline was not a surprise,” said AAR President, Sylvia Ramos. “Some sales that took place in the first quarter were likely pulled forward as homebuyers took advantage of
the favorable interest rate environment and decided to purchase now before rates increase. Moving forward, the housing market may temper further as interest rates inch up and the supply of available homes for sale tightens.” The statewide median price stayed above the $500,000 mark for the second straight month and reached the highest level since August 2007. The median price was up 3.7 percent from $517,490 in March to reach $536,750 in April, and was 5.4 percent higher than the $509,240 recorded in April 2016. The median sales price is the point at which half of homes sold for more and half sold for less; it is influenced by the types of homes selling, as well as a general change in values.

Arcadia Unified Doubles Taxpayers Savings to $80 Million It was only a couple of months ago that the Arcadia Unified School District announced a bond refinance plan that would result in an estimated $40 million in savings to Arcadia taxpayers. With the refinancing process complete, that figure has more than doubled to over $80 million. In its presentation of the bond refinance results at the May 9 Board of Education meeting, Arcadia Unified’s Business Services revealed that it has secured Arcadia taxpayers over $80 million in tax savings. The increased savings come by way of several favorable factors, but at the forefront is Arcadia Unified’s adherence to fiscally responsible practices as reflected by the District’s credit rating. The District began the bond refinance process by having two industry-leading credit rating agencies, S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, review its credit rating. Each agency rated Arcadia Unified higher than anticipated, AA and Aa1, respectively, citing reasons for the increased rating as Arcadia Unified’s conservative management of funds and responsible financial practices along with the District’s extremely strong financial condition and high reserve levels. Out of all of the school districts in California that issued bonds last year, less than 16% received as high a credit rating as Arcadia Unified from either agency. As a result of this exceptional rating, the District received very competitive bids for the bonds, with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, who submitted the lowest bid, selected as the winning under-
writer. Another key component to the savings is that the bonds were refinanced as current interest bonds, eliminating all of the previous, more expensive capital appreciation bonds. “Our district would be hard-pressed to operate at the remarkable level we do without Arcadia taxpayer support,” said Arcadia Unified Superintendent Dr. David Vannasdall. “I am incredibly proud of the work our team does in ensuring our district’s sound financial status and for exemplifying best practices in management of our taxpayers’ money. These savings are exclusively for the taxpayers and come at no cost to the district. I can’t be happier with these results.” “It’s fantastic to see that just weeks after our voters passed Measure A, securing $77 million for our schools over the next 18 years, we can offer our generous community $80 million in tax savings,” expressed Arcadia Unified Board of Education Member Kay Kinsler. The majority of the refinanced bonds originated from Arcadia Unified’s Measure I, Facilities Bond. Approved by voters in November 2006, Measure I, or the Arcadia Neighborhood Schools, Health, Safety, and Repair Measure, authorized $218 million of general obligation bonds to be spent solely for the improvement and modernization of Arcadia Unified School District schools and facilities. Fiscal management of the bonds has been overseen by Arcadia Unified’s Business Services, headed by Assistant Superintendent Christina Aragon.

The Future of Dentistry is Here/ Laser Bacterial Decontamination By: Kenneth Canzoneri D.D.S.
For voting for us two years in a row
Today is a very exciting time to be a dental professional and it is equally exciting to be a Dr. Canzoneri dental patient. The technical advancements that a dentist has available to him to help a patient achieve a healthy mouth are astounding. One such advancement is the use of a dental laser to reduce or eliminate the bad bacteria in the gums. Laser bacterial decontamination is a painless procedure. A specific type of laser, which treats gum disease, is gently moved around the gum line of each tooth killing the bad “anaerobic” bacteria. The procedure takes about 5 to 10 minutes. It has been shown that laser decontamination is more effective than antibiotics. Lasers unlike antibiotics do not cause resistance to medications
that you may need later in life. It will take the bacteria up to 6 weeks to reach their maximum numbers following laser treatment and during this time an improved healing process is realized. In my opinion the most important result of laser bacterial reduction is when it is performed prior to a dental cleaning or other dental procedure. It is beneficial for all but can change a person’s perception of dentistry especially in patients who have medical conditions that are susceptible to bacteria, found in all our mouths, that flood into the bloodstream. Conditions such as a damaged heart valve, artificial joints, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease are a few that would benefit from reduced or elimination of bacteria associated with laser bacterial reduction treatment. The future of dentistry is here now!

Mystery and Romance Aboard Luxury Trains With Frontiers International Story and Photo by gREG ARAGON gregsgetawaytravel@gmail.com
Nothing says travel and adventure like a train ride across beautiful country side. It’s the stuff that novels are made of. A few years ago I took a train journey across Alaska aboard Gray Line of Alaska (www. graylinealaska.com) and I will never forget the magical feeling of the box cars chugging along the tracks, passing mountains, rivers, bridges and valleys. I recently heard about a couple of luxury train rides in Africa and Scotland that I want to investigate. They are offered by Frontiers International Travel, a Pennsylvania-based travel company, catering to " discerning travelers." The first excursion is a 15-day rail journey between Cape Town, South Africa and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania aboard “The Pride of Africa,” one of the most luxurious trains in the world. The trip rolls across five countries: South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Tanzania. It is a chance to recapture the romance of a bygone era by stepping aboard wood-paneled coaches and enjoying fine cuisine in five-star luxury. The sojourn begins in Cape Town taking guests to the historic village of Matjiesfontein, the diamond town of Kimberley,
and the capital city of Pretoria, followed by two nights in the Madikwe Game Reserve. Guests will continue through Botswana into Zimbabwe where they’ll overnight at the Victoria Falls Hotel. After crossing the mighty Zambezi River, the train joins the Tazara line in Zambia and continues to Chisimba Falls for a bush walk. Next, the train will climb to the Tanzanian border and descend into the Great Rift Valley negotiating the tunnels, switchbacks and viaducts of the spectacular escarpment. Climbing again, it will traverse the Selous Game Reserve – the largest reserve on the continent– before the bustling arrival in Dar es Salaam. The Cape Town to Dar es Salaam trip is slated for July 1-15, 2017 and the reverse trip, Dar es Salaam to Cape Town, is July 18-August 1, 2017. Deluxe Suites start at $16,500 per person based on double occupancy. Another exciting trip offered by Frontiers International is The Royal Scotsman, which traverses the Scottish Highlands and ancient castles in Scotland. Combining Edwardian splendor with modern luxury, this stately train revives the decadent age of railway travel and takes guests on a journey through landscapes of towering, pine-clad mountains reflected in mirror-still lochs. Guests begin the trek to the sound of bagpipes in Edinburgh, and along the way
sample Single Malt whisky, pass the shores of Loch Lomond and visit Glamis Castle, the childhood home of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. The Royal Scotsman takes 36 guests in 16 twin and 4 single cabins, all with private facilities and comfortable beds, furnished in traditional Scottish-country style. Two dining cars bookend the sleeping cars and the observation carriage is a popular gathering place for guests to socialize and enjoy the champagne and whisky which flow throughout the journey. Traveling only during the day, the train berths at night to ensure a sound sleep for guests. The ride is also highlighted by fresh food and produce. The Royal Scotsman offers two, three, four, five and seven night journeys throughout Scotland. I am looking into the four-night Classic Journey, which travels 720 miles, through some of the UK's finest scenery. Highlights of this expedition include Dundee, Montrose, Aberdeen, Keith, Inverness, Plockton, Dalwhinnie and Perth. Optional activities on the adventure include fishing, clay pigeon shooting, golf, a woodland walk and a boat trip, whisky tasting at Dalmore Distillery, a visit to Ballindalloch Castle and gardens, and a stroll
along pristine beaches and wildlife habitats. Prices vary by departure, are per person and include all fixed meals, all alcoholic and other beverages, all sightseeing excursions as shown in the itinerary and accommodation on board based on two people sharing a twin compartment or one person in a single. For more info on these trips, contact Frontiers International Travel at 800-2451950 or visit www.frontiersej.com. Founded in 1969, Frontiers caters to discerning travelers and specializes in the finest worldwide fly fishing and shooting destinations, photographic safaris, as well as customized Elegant Journeys. The company has a combined staff of more than 50 travel experts in its Gibsonia, Pennsylvania headquarters and its United Kingdom branch office.

3 Aspects of The Millennial Dream and Why to Adopt Them Different Expectations Lead to an Improved Standard of Living by Monica Sanchez, Editorial intern editorial@beaconmedianews.com

arlier this year at a MOTH storytelling event, an elderly participant claimed that “the American dream was dead.” And yes, essentially, the get married, have two kids, and live out your days in peace behind a white picket fence dream has died, and a new dream has risen in its place: the Millennial dream. Sure, it was easy to find heaven in a white picket fence when the average individual didn’t know much of what lay beyond their local community. Recently, values have changed. Due to the internet, Millennials are flooded with an endless stream of options that have opened their eyes to a world of possibilities. Here are some ways Millennials believe they will attain it: Satisfying Wanderlust Millennials yearn to explore new areas. In statistics gathered by Millennial Marketing, “79% of Millennials would like to visit all 50 states and 75% would like to travel abroad.” Millennials add value to the economy because they “make up 21% of consumer discretionary purchases” (Millennial Marketing). Their monumental buying power has essentially created positive growth in tourism
that is beneficial to the economy. Building a Partnership, Not a Marriage Millennials are not against marriage. In fact, they want something more meaningful than marriage, a loving and caring partnership. “Millennials believe parenthood is a partnership. 64% of dads [and] 50% of moms believe they have equal responsibility of child care” (Millennial Marketing), whether they

Due to social media, Millennials are socially “#woke,” and “almost 50%...would be more willing to make a purchase from a company if their purchase supports a cause” (Millennial Marketing). Making socially conscious purchases, even if it’s more expensive, is a vital part of the Millennial Dream. Millennials would rather be active contributors in life than passive participants. This ideal raises the cost of the standard of living, but Millennials have accepted that higher prices are necessary in order to see positive change in the world.

Little Free Library Takes Us Back to a Kinder, Gentler America by may s. ruiz MayChu@att.net
Whoever pronounces no one reads books anymore – the kind that’s not on an electronic device – has probably not heard of or seen a little free library (LFL). It looks a bit like a birdhouse, except it isn’t sitting in a tree but propped up on a stand in front of people’s yards and contains books for people to borrow and take home to read. It has of late become a worldwide phenomenon and has been known to start conversations among neighbors who might never have had occasion to chat until now. The LFL was an idea concocted by Todd Bol in 2009 in Hudson, Wisconsin, who built a wooden container to resemble a one-room schoolhouse. He then mounted this on a post, which he installed on his lawn, then filled with books as a tribute to his mother, a book lover and school teacher. In 2012, LFL became a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire a love of reading, build community, and spark creativity by fostering neighborhood book exchanges around the world. Recently, Bol’s simple brainchild can be found in all 50 U.S. states where there are more than 50,000 registered LFL book exchanges and in over 70 countries around the globe. People in even the remotest and farthest-flung nations, including Ghana, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Vietnam now have access to free books. California was a little late in joining the movement, according to Bol, but has been the fastest growing in the past two years. In the Los Angeles area, it was a brief article in the newspaper about the LFL that ignited the fire that’s

now ablaze and spreading in earnest. Pasadena leads in the San Gabriel Valley with 31 registered little free libraries scattered throughout the city’s 23.13 square miles. For all of Bol’s good intentions, however, there are naysayers out there. He is very much aware of them and offers this analogy, “I believe a community is like a beehive: if everything’s done right, it will produce honey. But oftentimes it’s beaten with a stick and yelled at. I don’t subscribe to all the negativity out there. I’m

proud of LFL and how we’re making it a better world. I sound old-fashioned and corny, but reality is before us every single day – we see it.” The scope of the LFL’s outreach has widened since 2012. Through its Impact Fund, Bol intends to put LFL in communities where it would make the greatest difference – trailer parks, apartment buildings, and high-need neighborhoods. Bol launched an initiative to put a little library in every police department across the country – over 14,000 of them, according to him.
There are currently four dozen LFLs in police departments in Detroit, Cleveland, Raleigh, Chattanooga, and New Orleans, among other cities. He says the L.A. Police Department has a LFL in every precinct. “We also recently unveiled the Action Book Club which identifies authors and publishers who demonstrate community engagement,” adds Bol. “We ask people to sign up with us, read one of the books, go out and fix things in their neighborhood, then report back to us. One of my favorite stories is about this group of fourthgraders in Lafayette, Louisiana, who collected 100 pairs of new socks and gave them to the homeless. We’re gathering tales of people doing good around the world, one neighborhood at a time.” “There’s a saying ‘it takes a village to raise a child,’” Bol expounds. “That’s a statement of observation. The statement really should be ‘how can I be a part of the village?’ What we want is for the LFL to be the spark for people to make things better through literacy, books, conversation, dialogue, and action.” Lofty objectives and noble aspirations aside, at the core, the little free library simply takes us back to a time when we would walk up to our neighbor’s house to share a plate of freshly made cookies or to borrow a cup of sugar to bake some. For most of us, that outcome alone makes it a better world already.

Baldwin Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91007. 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, but without covenant or warranty, expressed 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, to-wit: $234,238.04 (Estimated).

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. 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. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Lender, or the Trustee. 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 (626) 579-5350 or visit this Internet Web site www.superiordefault.com, using the file number assigned to this case 17-01-854. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein.

John Woo waited for the umpire’s out signal before running towards his catcher Tyus Santa Anna, who met him seconds before the rest of his team mobbed him at home plate. Teammates and fans pulled him aside in an endless series of congratulations, at one point dousing the senior pitcher with ice water during an on-camera interview with Apache News. “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang played immediately after the final out, a fitting song, considering Woo had just pitched his first no-hitter in the last league game of his high school career. In their regular season finale, the Arcadia Apaches (16-9, 12-2 Pacific) rode Woo’s no-hitter to a 6-0 victory over their rival Crescenta Valley Falcons (25-2, 13-1 Pacific) Friday night at Giambrone Field in Arcadia. A beyond-capacity crowd stretching to the left field foul pole expected to celebrate the team’s six graduating seniors, but instead celebrated Woo’s masterful performance, the defining moment of Arcadia’s season.
“Oh my God, it’s amazing dude,” Woo said, “especially against our rivals, I’m speechless.” Matched up against CV ace Trevor Beer, Woo disoriented the Falcon’s lineup with well-placed strikes and off-speed pitches, forcing ground balls and lazy flies his defenders easily managed. “He’s been solid for us all year,” said Arcadia coach Nick Lemas. “He throws strikes, he hits his spots, he’s not overpowering. As long as he’s not walking guys, he’s gonna be okay.” Woo, who struck out six batters in seven innings pitched, said neither he nor his team altered their game plan for the final matchup against their rivals: “We didn’t change anything, we just stick to our plan, especially against CV. Nothing too fancy, nothing too extreme.” After walking his first batter in the top of the fourth inning, Woo responded by striking out Beer and shortstop Nico Arredondo, setting down the middle of the order and firing up the Arcadia dugout, who scored their first run off an error in the bottom of the inning. The Apache offense broke
through in the fifth inning with three consecutive singles from Tim Van Kirk, Jacob Lopez, and Dominick Tello, with Woo providing his own run support with an RBI groundout to third base. Santa Anna followed Woo with a two-run single up the middle, giving the Apaches a 6-0 lead as they batted around the order, reversing the shutout CV handed them on Tuesday. No-hitters usually require stellar defense, and Woo’s had a few key plays. Tello’s backhanded grab at third base saved a double in the third inning, while outfielders Chase Pedersen and Angel Guzman snagged hard line drives in the sixth and seventh innings respectively. “I knew I had a defense behind me. I knew I wasn’t alone, and had nothing to worry about,” said Woo. Though Arcadia’s bats and gloves played at their best, the night belonged to the senior lefty. “I’ve been thinking about this game for a while,” said Woo, “but I didn’t expect to throw a no-hitter. That’s just how baseball works.” And though CV clinched a league title over the Apaches with a 1-0 win on Tuesday, Arcadia ended the season with a celebration of their own. “In a script that doesn’t have us winning a league championship, I would say this is the best way to end the regular season,” said Lemas. “A team like that with that record, to not only beat them, but shut them out with a no-hitter on your home field, it’s in awesome feeling.” The Apaches will enter the CIF playoffs as one of the strongest teams in the area, and will find out Monday morning which school they will play in the first round. When asked if the win against CV would provide momentum in the playoffs, Lemas laughed: “I sure as hell hope it does!”
