Joe Brown Resigns Pasadena NAACP after Serving 12 Years Joe Brown, president of the Pasadena-branch NAACP has resigned, effective at year’s end. Brown sent Beacon Media a copy of a letter dated December 6 addressed to community supporters and friends. The move ends Brown’s 12-year tenure as head of the local civil rights organization which tried to heal wounds in an ethnically diverse city such as Pasadena. Adopting a quote about George W. Bush, Brown said “ Leaders seldom swim with the

Completion of Arcadia Gold Line Bridge Celebrated By Jim E. Winburn For commuters of the San Gabriel Valley, this freeway project could very well be the bridge of progress that many have longed for. Spanning 584 feet over the Foothill (210) Freeway, the Arcadia Gold Line bridge is the most visible part of the 11.5-mile eastward extension project that leads through Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Irwindale and Azusa. Local media were treated to a tour and photo opportunity of this newly

finished Gold Line bridge Wednesday morning from Newcastle Park in Arcadia. The $18.6-million bridge, completed on time and on budget, is only one element of the $1.2 billion extension project through the valley, according to Habib Balian, CEO of the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority. And with full funding by Los Angeles County Please see page 18

Dorothy's Place

Mom Always Said

By Dorothy Denne My Mom had a storehouse of cliches. She often used them to teach me the lessons of life that she felt were important. Cleanliness was one of the things very important to her. Mom always said, “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” Well, in that regard, I’m afraid I’m not quite as close to God as I used to be. There was a time when you could move any piece of furniture in my house and it would be as clean behind it as in front of it. Now it’s not guaranteed. Mom always said,

“Her kitchen is so clean, you could eat off the floor.” There was also a time when that described mine to a T. Now it sometimes looks like someone has eaten off it. Mom always said, “Anything worth doing is worth doing right.” Somewhere along the timeline of life, I discovered the feather duster. Maybe not exactly right, but things look pretty good. At first, it was a great way to handle the little in-between cleanings. Now my inbetweens have sometimes become the regular cleanings that they used to be between. Mom always said, “Cut the mustard and get your work done first. There will be plenty of time left to play.” Yesterday I knew it was time to do it right. I cut the

mustard. I got out the vacuum, the mop, the dust rag, the spray polish and went to work. I moved pictures, picked up knick-knacks and hauled furniture. I discovered dust that had been around long enough to form a real relationship with the surfaces upon which it lay. I polished and scrubbed ‘til everything was shiny and spotless. I was next to Godliness. You could eat off my floor. I had done it right. I had cut the mustard, but there was no time left to play. It didn’t matter. I was exhausted. Today, if I can move my body, I’m going to play first. But, old habits die hard. I’ll still do as Mom always said. I’ll “ put on clean underwear in case I’m in an accident.”

Twinkies, Ding Dongs, and Wonder Bread Not Recommended by William Dufty and the Iconic Gloria Swanson in 1977 By Harry Sneider My career as a professional fitness trainer, coach of Olympians and friend of celebrities included the iconic Gloria Swanson. Do you remember the movie “Sunset Boulevard” where Gloria was the famous Norma Desmond with the great William Holden? This 4’11” bombshell was walking on the Ambassador College track where I was coaching Olympians for the 1980 Games. The tiny lady came to me and said, “What are you feeding that Olympian?” She warned me not to give these great athletes too much sugar. At the time she was married to the award winning author William Dufty who had written the best seller “Sugar Blues”, available on Amazon.com. She told me that she had found sugar to be a dangerous ingredient to all of us for our overall health. She told me “Eat whole grains. Drink pure water. Start the morning with a banana. When hungry eat fruits and vegetables, occasionally some fish.” Gloria had survived major illnesses because of her health regime. With her husband she had discovered some interesting techniques that food producers are using to get our nation addicted to sugar. She paralleled the addiction to sugar like it was a drug. She even mentioned that cigarette manufacturers put sugar in tobacco to increase the desire for this very dangerous habit. Where does this all fit in with the current talk and debate about Twinkies,

Ding Dongs, and Wonder Bread? I’m sure we’ve all had these treats growing up. I still remember in the school lunches many of the children had these sugary addictive treats. Sugar is good in moderation, but has an addictive component that can lead to diabetes, obesity, decayed teeth, alcoholism and possibly even cancer. There are reported major mood swings with sugar addiction and one can get very hyper and in a few hours be in the depths of depression. So you are encouraged to keep eating those Twinkies, Zingers, and Ding Dongs throughout the day. This is not good for overall health. Gloria Swanson warned me not to let the Olympic athletes as well as my family and friends get into these negative addictive habits. Now for a solution to this sugar addiction: Can you change little by little to fruits like bananas, water-

melon, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, apples, oranges, grapes, pears, and other natural fruits? They contain natural sugars and are good for your overall health. Start the morning with a whole grain cereal like oats, millet, and wheat. This will give you energy and give you muscle building nutrition if you include some protein like eggs, yogurt, and fish. Your lunch can include vegetable soups with whole grain bread turkey or tuna sandwiches. Dinner can have a great leafy green salad, with a nice piece of chicken or salmon along with broccoli and a generous glass of milk. This can give you the health your body needs. Enjoy life with good health! YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! Harry Sneider can be reached at 626-355-8964 or harrysneider@earthlink. net.

Lots of El Monteans enjoy the Holiday Toy Express show. -Photo by Dena Burroughs

Hundreds of El Monteans welcomed the Metrolink’s Holiday Toy Express on December 9 as it stopped with its 50,000 twinkling lights, live musical performances, and Santa and his friends. The event has become one of the best attended in the city, being that this is already the Holiday Toy Express’ 16th year of operation. The festive train makes 41 stops in six counties to, besides entertaining children everywhere, collect toys for the ABC7 “Spark of Love Toy Drive” and the Southland Firefighters. As the residents waited for the arrival of the 450ton decorated train, the El Monte Chamber of Commerce presented the chil-

dren with crayons and similar gifts, and on the other side of the station the City offered free cookies and drinks to everyone. It was a spirited gathering with plenty of young and old wearing Santa hats, some of them singing along with the El Monte Choir as it serenaded them with Christmas carols. The train arrived promptly at 6:45 p.m. having been already to the Burbank and Glendale stations. Members of the El Monte City Council hopped on top to greet the residents and wish them a happy holiday season. Eventually, elves, snowmen, and Santa and his lady came out to sing and dance and remind everyone that the season is also about sharing and that

the firefighters were there collecting any toys they may want to donate. Then, it was time for the Holiday Toy Express to move on to its next stop – the City of Baldwin Park. The evening was one of those lovely events that only happen around Christmas, when everyone is equalized by a common love for jingles, sparkly lights, and Papa Noel… and only in those lucky cities that happen to host a train station. The Metrolink’s Holiday Toy Express schedule continues through December 23 with stops in several cities in Orange County, including Fullerton, Irvine, Anaheim, and Buena Park.

Public to Consider Las Tunas Drive Design Proposals in Temple City City Unveils Three Streetscape Concepts at Workshop - Dec. 19 Moving forward in the Las Tunas Drive revitalization effort, the City is holding the second and final design workshop Wednesday, Dec. 19, 7 p.m. at Live Oak Park Community Center (10144 Bogue St.). Lead project team Freedman, Tung + Sasaki (FTS) will present three possible streetscape scenarios, with designs integrating public input from the introductory Nov. 14 workshop—during which community members explored street elements that could enhance the corridor’s potential as a pedestrian and commercial activity center (e.g., outdoor dining opportunities, attractive land-

scaping, innovative parking configurations, etc.). “Even though Las Tunas is our downtown main street, it is very autooriented and doesn’t lend well to lively pedestrian activity or exciting retail,” said Mayor Pro Tem Cynthia Sternquist. “We have an opportunity here to recreate it into a vibrant downtown with the kind of attractive draw that Old Town Monrovia and Pasadena have.” Community members are again strongly encouraged to attend and view the proposals. FTS will consider comments and concerns toward refining a final design for Council ap-

proval on Dec. 27. If approved, the project will become eligible to compete for grant resources toward construction—including $6 million that the City has identified and will apply for in January. Already, $800,000 in federal and state transportation funds has been secured for traffic signal upgrades and Bicycle Master Plan implementation. Chinese translation, light refreshments and childcare services will be available at the meeting.

Ceremonial “Swearing in” Held for Holden

Dog Haus Biergarten Helps Feed Operation Santa’s Helpers

By Susan Motander

Chris Holden felt it was important to have his constituents present when he took his oath of office in front of his constituents. Despite

having been sworn in early in the week in Sacramento, he took that oath again on Sunday in Pasadena in front of a crowd of more than 200.

Following the oath, which was administered by newly elected Congresswoman Judy Chu, Holden made a few remarks. He said that among his top priorities were creating jobs and improving public education. He said “It is going to take all of you.” He pledged to “Make this system work or change the system.” In his brief remarks he also praised his father, Nate Holden, who is former Los Angeles City Councilman and State Senator. He also thanked his family, especially his wife Melanie, for their support. He called serving in the assembly “a tremendous opportunity” adding, “I do not take this opportunity lightly.” He also said, “This is an opportunity that would not have happened if Melanie said I couldn’t do it.”

Official results are in for the two ballot measures appearing on the El Monte ballot in November as the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s office certified the election with the California Secretary of State. Measure F, the El Monte Fairness for Mobilehome Owners Ordinance, passed with 50.2 percent support. This measure repeals a 1990 voter-approved ordinance that prohibited the city from inquiring into or taking action to regulate mobilehome park rents being charged in the City. The City Council realized this was a necessary action after residents of the Brookside Mobile Country

Club complained about escalating rents that in some cases are triple the prices charged at other local parks. “I am so glad we will now be in a position to help these residents,” said City Councilwoman Norma Macias, who led efforts to pass Measure F. “We still have a lot of work to do to rectify the situation, but this is a great starting point.” Measure H, the El Monte Sugar Sweetened Beverage Business License Fee Measure, was defeated. This measure would have imposed a one-cent-perounce fee on the sale of sugar-sweetened drinks, like sodas, sold in El Monte. Backers of the measure

believed it would have reduced the overall consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, which will in turn reduce obesity while also generating an estimated $3.5-to-$7 million in general fund revenues for the City. Opponents questioned whether the program will be effective in reducing incidences of obesity and are concerned about the economic impact that the additional fees will have on local businesses. While backers did not run a campaign in support of the measure, opponents, including the beverage industry, reportedly spent $1.3 million to kill the measure.

Dog Haus Biergarten has enlisted in Operation Santa, the Pasadena Jaycees’ longest running community service project. Its mission: To feed Haus dogs and hamburgers to hundreds of hungry Operation Santa volunteers. In addition to providing dinner for Santa’s letterreaders at the Jaycee’s office every Tuesday and Thursday throughout December, the popular restaurant is also serving as a drop off point for Operation Santa’s toy drive.

“It’s our version of Toys For Tots. Every customer who donates a toy for Operation Santa at our Dog Haus location in Old Pasadena receives a complimentary order of Tater Tots...our treat,” said Dog Haus partner Hagop Giragossian. “We are thrilled to participate in this worthy cause that helps brighten the holidays of underprivileged children in our community.” Toys can be dropped off at Dog Haus Biergarten through December 23, 2012. Last Christmas Eve, the

Pasadena Jaycee’s along with their dedicated Santa’s, Ms. Clauses, and Helpers delivered gifts to 3,000 children in Pasadena and the surrounding areas. Dog Haus Biergarten is located in the heart of Old Pasadena at 93 E. Green Street, behind redwhite+bluezz. There is 90 minute free parking available at The Schoolhouse Parking structure located at Green and Raymond as well as metered parking.

Fraser Family Dance Group Starts Web Series in Spring Taking the next step in their meteoric rise in the International Latin national ballroom dance circuit, the Fraser Family Dance Group have enlisted high profile dance partners as they venture into other ballroom dance styles and enter the burgeoning world of Web programming. Within the past three years, Kari, Grace and Holden Fraser aka (The Fraser Family Dance Group) have astounded national ballroom dance judges with their technique, stiletto sharp timing and fluidity. The family has won over 300 1st place awards in International Latin. Here’s a link of the Frasers at a recent competition. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=1MuTV2YwvEo Kari Fraser’s entrepreneurial spirit and strong desire to introduce people to the exciting world of ballroom dancing have driven her to get in on the ground floor of the expanding world of internet programming. The Fraser family is starring in their own Web series which premieres spring 2013. As noted in social media and national media outlets, internet video destinations such as Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Amazon, AOL and many others are exploding with countless channels featuring fresh and creative programming. Among the top internet video destinations, YouTube is adding more and more channels featuring original content and extending deals with established producers.

Baca Won’t Turn Illegal Immigrants Over to ICE In a report Wednesday by The Los Angles Times, County Sheriff Lee Baca says he will no longer hand over illegal immigrants arrested for minor crimes to the feds. The newspaper said that Baca overturned his position on participating in the federal Secure Communities Program. The program calls for local law enforcement to send

all arrestees’ fingerprints to ICE.. If the person is a suspected illegal immigrant, authorities can request the local agency hold the person for 48 hours until a transfer to federal custody. Critics of the federal program say it has made immigrants apprehensive of reporting crimes or cooperating with any police officer or investigation.

Najarian’s MTA Board Confirmation Children with Special Needs Blocked by Duarte City Council Member Enjoy 19th Annual United Airlines Vocal Opposition to a 710 Tunnel Cited Fantasy Flight to North Pole Nominated unanimously for another term by Los Angeles County’s North Valley/San Fernando Valley Sector cities representing over one million constituents, Metropolitan Transportation Agency Board member Ara Najarian’s confirmation was blocked by Duarte City Council member John Fasana and Alhambra Mayor Barbara Messina, elected officials representing the San Gabriel Valley region. They urged City Selection Committee members to vote against confirming Najarian because of his vocal opposition to a 710 tunnel, ignoring both his significant transportation achievements for the San Gabriel Valley region, and the unanimous support of the North County/San Fernando Valley Sector cities. Najarian has 65 days to seek a re-nomination and confirmation. Glendale City Council Member and current MTA Board Member Najarian has been a strong supporter

of strong transportation projects in Los Angeles County. During his tenure on the MTA Board of Directors, in which he also served as Chair, he was instrumental in bringing projects like the Gold Line to the region. Najarian has also been a steadfast critic of the so-called 710 North Gap Closure, asking tough questions about purpose and need, cost estimates and truck traffic, while making it clear that he and his constituents have received no credible answers. Citing Fasana’s and Messina’s action, former State Assembly representative Anthony Portantino said, “When proponents have to resort to removing folks asking legitimate questions, you have to question their motives.” Najarian’s current term is up in January 2013. In October, he was unanimously re-nominated to the Board by his constituent cities in the North County/San Fernando Valley Sector. On Thursday, December

6, the Los Angeles County City Selection Committee met to conduct business. Although Najarian received a numerical majority of votes, according to the population-weighted vote formula, he fell short of the number needed for confirmation. Najarian intends to seek a second nomination and a second vote to retain his seat Najarian has been the lone MTA Board member insisting on accountability in the SR-710 Study process. The move by officials outside his representative sector calls into question the power of one sector to override the will and vote of another. The No 710 Action Committee strongly condemns Fasana and Messina for attempting to circumvent the rights and silence the voices of constituent sector cities who unanimously chose Najarian to represent them on the Metro Board of Directors. The Committee also calls for further investigation of this matter.

About 120 children with special needs participated in the 19th Annual United Airlines Fantasy Flight Program at Los Angeles International Airport on December 1. In an event sponsored by United Airlines, employees working with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) joined together with children who are wards of the court, special needs, and children with life threatening illnesses. The day began with a trip to the Los Angeles International Airport. Once there, all the children, social workers, and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s personnel, boarded a 747 Airliner for a 1 ½ hour trip

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department became involved in the Fantasy Flight Program 19 years ago when a United Airlines employee, who was also a Reserve Deputy Sheriff, suggested that United Airlines join with the Sheriff’s Department to provide security for the event and the kids. Each year this special event has grown and brings holiday cheer to many deserving children in need. If you are feeling the holiday spirit, you are welcome to donate a toy to the LASD 2012 Toy Drive. Inspire A Child: Donate a new unwrapped toy valued at $10. or more by dropping it off at your local Sheriff’s Station.

U.S. Supreme Court - Prop 8 Challenge Continued from page 1

tax would have been owed. Windsor is represented by attorneys from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP; the American Civil Liberties Union; the New York Civil Liberties Union and the Stanford Law School Supreme Court Litigation Clinic. “All couples deserve the freedom to express their love and commitment to one another and protect their families through marriage -lesbian and gay couples are no exception,” said Melissa Goodman, senior staff attorney with the ACLU of Southern California. “We hope the Supreme Court agrees.” The court granted review of Hollingsworth on two essential questions: does California’s exclusion of samesex couples from marriage violate the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution; and do the backers of Proposition 8 have standing to defend it in court in the first place? Same-sex couples could legally marry in California from June to November of 2008, when voters passed Proposition 8 by a narrow margin. The measure inserted language in the state constitution limiting marriage to between a man and a woman. Three same-sex couples represented by attorneys Ted

Olson and David Boies filed suit in federal court, saying Proposition 8 violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection and that the right to marriage cannot be limited to heterosexuals. Recent elections have indicated an indisputable sea change in public attitudes towards marriage for same-sex couples; polls this year show 54% of Americans support the freedom to marry, and in November, voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington approved ballot measures allowing lesbian and gay couples to wed. If the justices rule in favor of the couples in Hollingsworth, the ruling could take a number of forms. It could overturn every state constitutional provision and law restricting marriage to heterosexual couples. It could also overturn just Proposition 8, limiting effect only to California, as a federal appeals court ruled earlier this year. The Court could also avoid ruling altogether on the constitutional question and find that the backers of the measure have no standing to defend it in court, presumably meaning that a 2010 district court ruling striking down Proposition 8 would stand. On the other hand, if the court upheld Proposition 8, while California couples would be

unable to marry for the time being, it would leave open the effort to expand fair marriage laws state by state. At present, 30 states -- including California -- have amended their constitutions to exclude same-sex couples from marriage, though California and several others offer those couples comprehensive domestic partnerships or civil unions. Those arrangements offer same-sex couples most of the state rights and benefits that extend from marriage, without the considerable respect and status conferred by the word “marriage” itself. Arguments in the cases most likely will take place by March, with a decision expected by the end of June.

Robert Harbicht, 48, collapsed while watching his son’s Arcadia High School soccer game recently at a tournament in Fontana. Paramedics transported him to the hospital where he later died of a heart attack. Son of Arcadia Mayor Bob Harbicht and his wife Patsy, Robert was a graduate of Arcadia High School and USC. He earned a

teaching credential from Cal Poly Pomona. Robert leaves two sons, Patrick ,18, a Theater Arts major at Cal State Fullerton and Robert, 16, a junior at Arcadia High School and captain of the Junior Varsity soccer team. Services will be held at Church of the Good Shepherd Arcadia on Friday, December 28 at 2:00pm.

Toys and Clothes Needed for Holiday Distribution to Low-Income Children Foothill Unity Center’s Holiday Food Distribution and Angel Program has become a community tradition. Last year, almost 2,000 pre-qualified, low-income families and 3,000 children received food, toys and clothes to help brighten the Holidays and stabilize the budgets of these families on the edge. On Sunday, December 16, 2012 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the Los Angeles County Arboretum, the Center again will be distributing food, toys and clothes to almost 2,000 families and neighbors in need. But as

food prices continue to go up and unemployment remains high, the Center is in urgent need of toy and clothing donations for the children we serve. Everyone is invited to stop by the Center to adopt paper angels bearing the gift wishes of client children and then shop for those gifts. Entire flights of angels also may be adopted by businesses or service organizations to help meet the need. Donations of food, turkey certificates and funds also are needed to help with the Holidays. Foothill Unity Center

always welcomes food donations, but never more than during the Holiday Season. All holiday donations may be dropped off at the Center’s Monrovia location between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM on the weekdays. In addition, donated funds will help fill in the gaps, particularly for children whose angels were not adopted. Donors may contribute securely online by clicking the Donate Now Button on the Center’s website at www.foothillunitycenter.org. Checks may be mailed to Foothill Unity Center at 415 West Chestnut Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016.

El Monte Council Approves Contracts to Repair Damaged Sidewalks, Build New ADA Ramps throughout City The El Monte City Council authorized the award for construction of the 2012/2013 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) ADA Ramp & Sidewalk Project at a recent Council meeting. Currently there are numerous locations throughout the City with uplifted and damaged sidewalks, curb, and gutter sections and non-

compliant ADA pedestrian access ramps. Selected intersections will be upgraded with new ADA compliant pedestrian curb ramps, with staff estimating the project may include up to 186 new ADA ramps. The locations were identified in coordination with Public Works supervisors and surveyed by Engineering Division staff.

Everyday is an open house:

In addition to improving accessibility, this project makes use of special funds to eliminate a portion of the numerous repair requests from residents that are received by the City’s Public Works Department and are placed on a backlog due to staffing and funding limitations. Please see page 14

NATHA Asks for Help after Fire Destroys Building One week after hundreds of community members, along with Pasadena Dignitaries gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony for NATHAs new Youth Media Production Center and to celebrate its 9th Annual Lincoln Village Festival, the organization suffered a devastating fire which destroyed the facility during the early morning hours of November 17 , The fire was caused by the malfunctioning of an electrical power strip. An investigation determined the fire was accidental, Pasadena Fire Department spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said. The damages to the organizations facility is estimatedat $1.75 million. NATHA needs help and is inviting everyone to join in its “NATHA rebuilds”effort. The organization is in critical need of new books and art suppliers for its youth after-school enrichment and tutoring programs.

tures of the fire devastation can be seen at the organization’s new website “www.natharebuilds. org” NATHA plans to use the new website, along with Facebook and other social media outlets to keep the community updated about its rebuilding efforts as well as upcoming opportunities to help. Staff has continued to walk students over from Jackson to NATHA as they have thousands of times to ensure there is no lapse in continued student achievement. “The fire destroyed everything, but we are committed and passionate about our responsibility to our youth and the community. We will not be deterred by this unfortunate accident.” said Executive Director Celestine Walker. After-school programs are being held in a temporary smaller adjacent facility located at 2011 N. Lincoln Avenue. NATHA needs volunteers to help decorate the facility for their annual Christmas party on Friday, December 21. We will rebuild!” said 25 year old Astrid Sandoval, who attended

NATHA’s after-school program as a child and whose father was a founding member of the organization.

Monrovia Rotary & Interact Clubs Play Santa BY SYLVIA DOMOTOR, DVM

On a cold, foggy, overcast morning, the fog receded and the sun peaked out just a little bit more with each smiling child who left the Monrovia Kohl’s Store with a huge bag of clothes for Christmas. The first annual Rotary Club of Monrovia Santa Clothes Event started at 8 am Saturday, December 8, 2012. By 11 am the sun was out in full force, but was totally eclipsed by the beaming smiles on 28 young faces and their family members. The 28 children, 5 to 10 years of age, were from families served by The Santa Anita Family Service in Monrovia. Each child was taken shopping in the Monrovia Kohl’s Store by a student from the Interact Club at Monrovia High School or by a member of the Rotary Club of Monrovia. Each child had the opportunity (with a little friendly guidance) to choose for themselves $125.00 worth of school appropriate clothing paid for by the Rotary Club of Monrovia. For many of these disadvantaged children, these would be the only Christmas presents they would be receiving. As the children were shopping, their parents and guardians hesitantly shared stories of lay-offs, home foreclosures and various family crises. The event was a very strong reminder of the needs that exist in our own community. Some of the children came to the event without warm jackets and left bundled up in stylish and warm jackets, coats and shoes. For the Interact students and Rotarians the event was a lesson in eco-

-Courtesy Photo

nomics – making sure each child received the most “bang for their bucks”. Through the generous cooperation of Kohl’s, each child made off with a huge haul. The smiles of the children and families were matched by the smiles of the Interact Students and Rotarians as some of the children showed off their purchases. Brand names ruled the day; Nike, Converse, Tony Hawk, and Hello Kitty to name a few. Many of the children proved themselves to be fashionistas at quite a young age! Oohs and ahhs greeted most of the bags’ contents. Impressive deals were had by all. Rotary Club of Monrovia President, Julie Roy-

bal, is already looking forward to next year’s Santa Clothes. Event organizer, Sylvia Domotor, stated that it was the perfect day and her only regret was that we did not have more recipient children. She projects that the Rotary Club will be able to clothe 50 children in 2013. The Santa Clothes Event was made possible by the cooperation of the Santa Anita Family Services, the Monrovia Kohl’s Store management and employees (who looked very cute in their matching elf hats), the Interact Students from Monrovia High School and the financial support of the Rotary Club of Monrovia and The Rotary International Foundation.

the past year. Joe Brown also thanked Darryl Dunn and Tommy McMullins whose contributions “ will; never be surpassed.” Prior to heading the NAACP, Brown spent 30 years working for the U.S. Post Office. Noting if has been a particularly difficult couple of years, Brown refers to being tired and burned out by the position he has held for the past 12 years. The last year has taken its toll on Brown and other

community members and officials. First a medical condition, then the shooting death of Kendrec McDade by two Pasadena police officers and the aftermath. Following the shooting, Brown asked for independent reviews and investigations of the Pasadena Police dept. The calls were answered but Brown was critical of Pasadena PD at the time. At the end of this summer, Brown was again spotlighted for inviting

Pasadena police Chief Phillip Sanchez to host the 26th annual Ruby McKnight Williams Awards Dinner at the Hilton. McDade’s father, Kenneth McDade, his attorney, and a dozen friends and family held a protest outside the hotel as guests arrived for the event. Brown concluded his letter by saying he and other leaders who have moved on “leave a legacy that we did our best for all ethnicities, and tried to make a difference for equality.”

On loan from the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena opened last Friday a display of Vincent van Gogh’s 1889 “Self-Portrait.” Exhibited on the West Coast for the first time, “SelfPortrait” is a beautiful oil on canvas, approximately 23 x 17 inches in size, of bright blues, golden yellows, and emerald highlights depicting the artist with his famous severed ear away from the viewer and mesmerizing piercing eyes. Painted just one year

before his death, this is one of only three works in which van Gogh depicted himself as an artist (next to brushes and paint), out of his 36 known self-portraits. It was also the first one to give him critical notoriety. At the Norton, “Self-Portrait” is set between two other van Gogh’s – “The Mulberry Tree” of 1889, and “Portrait of the Artist’s Mother” of 1888. The area in the Museum’s 19th century gallery now dedicated to van Gogh also displays an etching on paper entitled “Portrait of Dr. Gachet” from 1890, and a letter

in his handwriting. Van Gogh painted unceasingly during the last 10 years of his short 37-year-old life, creating about 850 pieces. He said that he wanted to do portraits that would look like apparitions to the people seeing them a century later. Today, about a century and a quarter later, in the eyes of his “Self-Portrait” you can almost see his ghost. “Self-Portrait” will be at the Norton Museum (411 West Colorado Blvd in Pasadena) until March 4, 2013.

Monrovia Plans for Its Future By Susan Motander

In the face of lower revenues and loss of its redevelopment agency, Monrovia has embarked on a process of prioritizing its goals. To this end, a public meeting was held at the Community Center on Tuesday, December 11, with approximately 50 citizens and business owners working to set goals and priorities. After brainstorming in small groups, all those in attendance had an opportunity to “Vote” for their five priorities of all those proposed. All the suggestions made will be presented to the members of the City Council to aid them in setting the funding priorities for the next several years. This is not the only opportunity for Monrovians to share their ideas. There will be another such brainstorming, prioritizing session on Saturday, January 12 from 9 -11 a.m. at Calvary Chapel. The church is located at 123 W. Pomona Avenue in Monrovia.

In addition, suggestions can be made on the city’s planning website: PlanMonrovia@ci.monrovia.ca.us, or by texting (626) 219-0845. Suggestions, ideas and questions can also be phones in to (626) 932-5555 x1402. The session at the Community Center created a diverse list of priorities with everything from fiscal responsibility to eliminating the current contract for animal control. The top five goals of this group were economic development including retaining and attracting new businesses to Old Town and the High

Tech Corridor, developing the area around the Gold Line and bring businesses to that area including the area south of the freeway, improving parks and natural areas including providing public access to those areas, maintaining public safety including no further cuts to police or fire and safety in neighborhoods, and balancing the city budget and showing fiscal responsibility. A complete list of the suggestions made at the meeting will be available soon from the city at the city website.

One man and two women, as well as two cats and two dogs, were found dead in Azusa after a fire was extinguished December 6. A variety of firearms was also discovered inside the home. The fire occurred in a residential area of Azusa, just a few blocks away from City Hall, around 2:40 p.m. The Police Department received several 911 calls from neighbors reporting fire and the sound of popping noises, but no call from inside the house. By 3:15 p.m. access to the 500 block of Dalton Avenue was restricted by law enforcement, and a firefighter fought the blaze from the top of a fire truck’s ladder as a column of smoke grew over the neighborhood. The reported popping

noises turned out to be bullets exploding in the house’s garage. After the fire was controlled authorities found 12 rifles, 10 handguns, thousands of rounds of ammunition and other suspicious incendiary devices. Police also determined that the three individuals, all

in the 50’s, had been shot in the upper body. The LA County Coroner’s office will conduct an investigation to determine the identity of the victims, but neighbors reported that two sisters and their brother had been living in the house ever since their father died and their mother became ill. Neighbors also told the media that the home had gone into foreclosure a few months ago. There are no outstanding suspects in this crime, said Azusa Police on a press release. Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to call the Department at (626) 812-5200.

710 Debate Continues after Lengthy Meetings Pasadena city council anticipated a much larger crowd Monday than the 130 who attended the special meeting of the continuing 710 debate in Pasadena. The 900 seat ballroom at the Pasadena Convention Center seemed to reflect the

Monrovia’s CIF Dreams Squashed by San Diego Saturday Madison of San Diego ended Monrovia’s hope for a CIF State championship with a 21-17 victory over the host Wildcats on Saturday in the CIF State South Region Division III Bowl. It was a crushing defeat after the Wildcats won their third consecutive title last Friday. The team was confident and ready for bigger things, or so they thought. San Diego, apparently, had something else in mind.

structure.” The Council action awards a $1.07 million contract with Enterprise Construction, Inc. for construction services and an ongoing work order with existing consultant AIM consulting services for project and construction management services not to exceed $160,700. The project was adopted and approved for advertising by the City Council on October 30, 2012.

Times are Tough for British Tesco Corporation

El Monte Council “Too many of our sidewalks and pedestrian ramps are in a state of disrepair, to a point where our residents can not enjoy a quick walk around their neighborhoods,” said Mayor Pro Tem Juventino “J” Gomez, himself a disabled Veteran. “Even more concerning is the lack of adequate ADA ramps for our disabled residents. This project will go a long way in fixing our city’s basic infra-

Fresh and Easy to Sell Stores in US

The action taken by Council will have no impact on the City’s General Fund, as funding for the ramp and sidewalk improvements will be provided entirely from CDBG funds previously approved by the City Council in the CDBG Action Plan. Construction is expected to start later this month, with completion anticipated by March 2013.

Tesco said it is considering selling its Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market stores and will probably leave the United States , the British newspaper The Guardian reported r on Wednesday. Tesco chief executive Philip Clarke has called in investment bankers to advise on what to do with the Fresh & Easy chain, which has 200 stores. However, he admitted Tesco was most likely to “exit” the business, which it had once hoped to build into a huge chain that could take on Walmart according, to The Guardian in London Tesco has had a bad 2012. In January Clarke had to unveil the grocer’s first profits warning in 20 years. He is now battling to restore the grocer’s once formidable reputation, pouring £1bn into the core UK business to improve service, update the stores and regain the supermarket’s reputation for being unbeatable on price. The decision to quit the US gave the company’s shares a boost, however, and they closed up 3.3% at 336.7p as investors cheered the fact that there was now an end in sight to

the losses the Fresh & Easy venture has racked up. Fresh abd Easy USA CEOMason, a former marketing man who had been with Tesco for 30 years has left, effective immediately. The 55-year-old also has a £9m pension pot and could start drawing his £477,000-a-year pension straight away. He also separately owns £6.6m of shares, having sold 2m shares over the past 18 months. Clarke thanked Mason for his work but said he had to make the “tough calls at the right time”. He added: “Having assessed its long-term potential, we’ve concluded that Fresh & Easy is not going to achieve the scale and profitability it needs in a reasonable timescale.” Fresh & Easy’s chief executive, Tim Mason, is also leaving after three decades at Tesco, the company said. The Fresh & Easy chain launched in 2007 with much fanfare and high ambitions of creating a network of hundreds of smaller-format stores on the West Coast. But the supermarkets never proved profitable.

In October, Tesco announced plans to cut back on investing in the chain after closing 12 stores earlier in the year. There are still nearly 200 locations open in California, Arizona and Nevada. Despite those efforts to slash costs, “it is now clear that Fresh & Easy will not deliver acceptable shareholder returns on an appropriate time frame in its current form,” Tesco said. Philip Clarke, chief executive of Tesco, said “all options are under consideration.” “Whilst the business has many positives, its journey to scale and acceptable returns will take too long relative to other opportunities,” he said in a statement. In a conference call on Wednesday, Clarke said it was “likely” that Tesco’s “presence in America will come to an end.” This decision comes at a sensitive time for Tesco, which has been trying to turn around a decline in profit at home in Britain and fighting off criticisms that it has put too much money into rapid -- and so far unprofitable -- expansion in some areas overseas.

132 Arrested and 56 Weapons Confiscated in October DISARM Sweeps

During the month of October, Los Angeles County D.I.S.A.R.M. officers arrested 132 probationers and confiscated 56 firearms and over $7 million in illegal drugs and drug money, announced Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich. In conjunction with local law enforcement, 1308 searches were conducted of probationers who, as a condition of probation, are

subject to unannounced searches targeting guns, drugs and other contraband. Since its implementation in February of 2000, the D.I.S.A.R.M. program has seized over 8,800 weapons and more than $396 million in illegal drugs and drug money and resulted in nearly 18,000 arrests. Nearly 10 percent of probationers searched in this program have been found

to be out of compliance with the terms of their probation. D.I.S.A.R.M was initiated by Supervisor Antonovich following the tragic August 1999 shootings at the North Valley Jewish Community Center and the murder of a postal worker by Buford Furrow, an armed felon on probation from Washington State.

From Scrooge to Tiny Tim, Here Comes “A Christmas Carol” Charles Dickens would most likely be enchanted if he could be transported to see his “A Christmas Carol” now at A Noise Within in Pasadena. The old traditional tale is offered with fresh untraditional éclat. So, although Dickens can’t be here, happily—we can! We all know by heart this classic story of redemption. Miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future who take him to view his life as it was, is and will be. But how it is presented at A Noise Within is what makes this version a must-see. Stark barren trees are silhouetted in the opening scene. Slate gray coloring predominates as several actors glide onto the stage, moving as if in a quietly rhythmic ballet. In a setting by Jeanine A. Ringer, props are minimal, and seamlessly moved on- and off-stage by actors. Crotchety Scrooge stomps up to his second-floor office where, shortly, his work is interrupted by a visit from his nephew. A warm, upbeat Fred (Rafael Goldstein) invites his uncle to Christmas dinner, and is promptly rebuffed with one of Scrooge’s many “Bah! Humbug!” utterances. No Christmas cheer from him! Grudgingly, Scrooge allows his clerk, Bob Cratchit (portrayed meekly by Stephen Rockwell) a day off to spend with his wife and children. Scrooge, once home and ready for bed, is

By Fran Syverson startled—no, terrified!—when Jacob Marley, his long-dead business partner, arrives amidst the clanking of chains. Mitchell Edmonds is a fearsome ghost wandering the afterlife, here to warn Scrooge about the compassionless life he is leading. Three spirits will visit him, Scrooge is told. Thus begins an eerie night, with Geoff Elliott as Scrooge deftly conveying fear, poignancy, exuberance, sadness…all prompted by the many glimpses of his life provided by those spirits. And they do. Deborah Strang flounces in as Christmas Past, garbed in a fluffy white gown. With her, Scrooge revisits his lonely childhood and youth. A tall and imposing Christmas Present is Alan Blumenfeld, camouflaged in a robe creatively covered with colorful fruits. They peek in on Fred’s dinner party, so rudely declined by Scrooge. And Christmas Future emerges as a tree, totally obscuring Kevin Rico Angulo, as visions unfold of grim events to come. As narrator, Robertson Dean opens the show and segues nicely between scenes. Ego Plum composed music especially for the performances at A Noise Within. Geoff Elliott, in addition to playing Scrooge, co-directs with his wife Julia Rodriguez-Elliott. Most of the 20 cast members play multiple roles. They include Jill Hill, Alison Elliott, Diana Gonzalez-Morett, Brendan Haley, Georgia Miller, Jack

Elliott, Marie Sullivan, Abigail Marks, Megan Farber, James Ferrero and Jennifer Propper. Everyone’s darling, Tiny Tim, (“God bless us, every one!”) is played by Damaso J. Rodriguez. The repertory cast has performed “A Christmas Carol” twice before in other local venues. Several on the current roster were among them, but not necessarily in the same roles. As they said during the post-show conversation we attended, they are especially thrilled to be playing it in what is now their own home theater. (Other postshow conversations will be held on Fridays, Dec. 14 and 21, after the 8 p.m. shows. They are worth lingering another half-hour or so.) “A Christmas Carol” will continue at A Noise Within through Dec. 23. Curtain times are 8 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays, 2 & 8 p.m. on Saturdays, and 2 & 7 p.m. on Sundays. An ASL interpreted performance will be Fri., Dec. 21 at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $40-$52. Contact the box office in person, via phone at 626-356-3100, or online at www.anoisewithin. org for updated pricing and seating availability. A Noise Within is located at 3352 E. Foothill Blvd., Pasadena. Free parking is available in the Metro station which can be accessed off Halstead or from the Sierra Madre Villa off ramp of the 210 Foothill Freeway.

Rosemead High School girls basketball teams completed tournaments the first week of December with first, second, and third place finishes. Rosemead’s varsity girls team won the Azusa High School Tournament with a 69-28 win against San Gabriel in the championship game. Rosemead’s defense held its opponents to only 19 points per game average in the four games. Rosemead senior guard Melody

Gauthier was named Most Valuable Player with her 28.5 points per game average, and teammate senior guard Sydney Hua also was selected All-Tourney. Rosemead’s junior varsity girls team defeated South Pasadena 39-27 to win third place in Cantwell Sacred Heart High School Tournament. Rosemead’s frosh soph girls team earned a second place finish in Rosemead’s 1st Annual Tourney, and

included a 34-24 win against Ontario Christian in the first game. Voted by coaches for All-Tourney team were three Rosemead players, Lauren Bahn, Tiffany Cao and Jennifer Wu. Rosemead also was voted by coaches for the Best Team Sportsmanship Award. Many cans of food and toys were collected during the tourney and delivered to People for People, a local nonprofit group that helps people in need.

Brown signed a contract with the PUSD in January 2012, making him eligible to earn up to $312,000, which is $80,000 more than PUSD Superintendent Jon Gundry. Wolfson said that four other contracts related to Measure TT were terminated, including consultant Peter Condis, project assistant Arturo Arce, and the companies LCC3 and Seville Group. Conducting the independent internal investigation is the Glendora-based Vicenti, Lloyd & Stutzman LLP, a financial advising firm that provides forensic accounting, auditing and consulting services. “Obviously we want to have an outside investigation,” said Wolfson. “We

want to have that certainty - for a lack of a better term.” Wolfson said that because this is a personnel issue, it is important for the investigation process to be completed before speaking further on the allegations. Wolfson reminded this reporter of a 2000 investigation where a former police chief of the district was placed on leave because of allegations that he was spying on undressing female employees with a concealed video camera. “The district at the time laid out very clearly what the allegations were, and then a few months later he was exonerated,” he said. However, the former police chief, Jarado L. Blue, filed a defamation suit based

on statements district officials had made to the Los Angeles Times and the Pasadena Star-News, eventually being awarded $2.5 million by a jury in 2004. “So given our financial situation, $2.5 million can frankly be spent on a lot better things than paying out a lawsuit,” said Wolfson. “Once the investigation is completed, we want to be as transparent as possible. But there is a process to this that we certainly want to follow first and foremost.” Officials said the decision to place Azcarraga on administrative leave, and to either suspend or terminate the contracts, was made during a school board closed session on Tuesday, Dec. 4.

California Mental Health Services Authority Launches Campaign Prevent Suicide As part of its comprehensive Suicide Prevention Initiative, the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) has launched a mass media campaign intended to prepare Californians to prevent suicide by encouraging them to know the warning signs for suicide, find the words to offer help to someone they are concerned about and reach out to resources. In 2010, 3,823 Californians took their own lives, and 16,425 people were hospitalized for self-inflicted injuries. “These facts are a grim reminder of the need for prevention and early intervention programs in California,” said Stephanie Welch, Senior Program Manager for CalMHSA. “The Know the Signs campaign serves as a way for us to educate our communities how to play a role in the prevention and early intervention process by reaching out to loved ones who may be at risk for suicide.” It’s often difficult for individuals who might be at risk for suicide to reach out for help. Therefore, the campaign speaks directly to individuals who are most likely to see the signs of suicide and respond appropriately, such as family and friends. “While the signs for suicide can be subtle, they are there,” said Anara Guard, suicide prevention advisor to the campaign. “The campaign goals are to educate people on what those signs are, to recognize them when they are present, and how to intervene early before the situation becomes critical.” The mass media campaign includes TV, radio, outdoor billboards, online, mobile and print advertisements and is running across the state through January. Most campaign materials are available in both English and Spanish. Campaign materials are also available for download on www.YourVoiceCounts.org, the campaign’s online forum that encourages dialogue and participation for suicide pre-

vention. “By leveraging the power of existing Counties suicide prevention and mental health programs, we are aiming to lend a level of sustainability and community awareness that we cannot achieve alone, said Welch. “Each County plays a role in extending the reach of our campaign by implementing it in their own backyard.” The campaign is funded by counties through the voter approved Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) (Prop. 63) and administered by CalMHSA, an organization of county governments working to improve mental health outcomes for individuals, families and communities. This suicide prevention social marketing campaign is one of several contracts awarded to realize the goals and objectives of the Suicide Prevention Initiative. Other statewide initiatives funded by the MHSA include Stigma and Discrimination Reduction and Student Mental Health. The 3 year campaign is funded from September 2011 through June 2014, and aims to achieve the following goals: Prepare more Californians to prevent suicide by increasing knowledge of warning signs, how to offer help and local resources. Provide individuals who are going through tough times with resources, hope and reassurance that help is available. Work with the news media to increase reporting about suicide in ways that are consistent with national recommendations. For more information on the Know the Signs campaign, visit www.suicideispreventable.org. Para Español, visite www.elsuicidioesprevenible.org. The Know the Signs Campaign encourages anyone who is in crisis to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273TALK (8255) to speak with an experienced crisis counselor 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.

El Monte Teams Up to Provide Winter Shelter for the Homeless Each year, as winter approaches and temperatures drop, people experiencing homelessness have a much higher risk of developing exposure-related conditions such as hypothermia and frostbite than the general population. In an effort to help our homeless or near-homeless neighbors, the City of El Monte has partnered with the East San Gabriel Valley

Coalition for the Homeless, and a variety of other public agencies, private organizations, foundations, and ecumenical groups in the community to provide the Winter Shelter Program for the homeless. The program began on December 1, and will operate continuously until March 1, 2013 – providing shelter from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. every night. Shelter locations

in the San Gabriel Valley include West Covina, Glendora, Hacienda Heights, Valinda, and Rowland Heights. Transportation to the shelters is available. Two daily bus pick-ups are scheduled in El Monte from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m, with a third in Baldwin Park. Bus pick-up points scheduled as follows: 5:00 – 5:10 p.m. Boys and Girls Club Parking Lot (at Mountain View and Mag-

nolia Avenue) 5:20 – 5:30 p.m. Pioneer Park Parking Lot (at Santa Anita Avenue and Raymona Avenue) 5:50 – 6:00 p.m. Home Depot Parking Lot (at southeast corner near 10 Freeway and Puente Avenue) For more information regarding shelter schedules and locations, visit www.elmonteca.gov or call the shelter phone at (626) 252-9060.

Arcadia Gold Line Bridge Completed Continued from page 1

Measure R, Balian was quick to report that the civil project has been generous to the local economy. “Ninety-two percent of everything that is in this project is local,” said Balian. “It was not only big contractors, but small business.” According to Balian, materials such as steel-reinforced concrete and rebar were provided by enterprises as local as Irwindale and South Los Angeles.

Artist Andrew Leicester, who is the Metro Gold Line bridge winning designer for the project, came up with the concept of the bridge baskets, intertwining the idea of transportation with Native American basket making. “The basket is this kind of archetypal vessel,” said Leicester, explaining that it was one of the earliest tools of trade and travel. “Today it would be similar to a semi-

truck.” The bridge baskets are made of 60 stacked segments and weigh 800 pounds each. They also came with the hefty cost of $500,000 to create and install. More than 200 community members and project stakeholders have been invited to attend a Gold Line Bridge Completion Ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 15. Attendance has been limited due to the restric-

tions of space and access to the bridge site. Metro Gold Line recently issued a construction notice for the Foothill Extension through Dec. 15, when final bridge work is expected to be completed. For Gold Line Bridge construction information, call the 24-hour toll-free project hotline at (855) 446-1160 or visit the Metro Gold Line website at www.foothillextension.org.

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 you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
