El Monte residents were invited on Sept. 5 to a Scoping Session for a Walmart Superstore that is proposed for construction at 4000 Arden Avenue, near the intersection with Valley Boulevard. The meeting was held at the Grace Black Auditorium, led by the City’s Director and Assistant Director of Economic Development, Damien Arrula and Minh Thai. The proposed development is an 182,429-square-foot Supercenter to be built on a 15.41-acre site. The store will offer general merchandise, grocery/ bakery/deli, off-sale of

In what appears to be a carbon copy of Monday’s false report of a suspect with an AK 47 at Santa Fe Middle School, two schools in Duarte were locked down Tuesday while deputies from the sheriff’s department searched for a possible gunman. Numerous deputies from Monrovia, LASD and Irwindale joined in the search of Duarte High where the main focus was. Sheriff’s deputies directed anxious parents and guardians to pick up their loved ones at the Best Buy parking lot Central and Mountain avenues but not all parents complied. Many parents, angered by the lack of information provided to them, attempted to get near the school entrance on Central via Evergreen but were advised by Monrovia officers to stay clear of the scene.

Dorothy's Place About knees
By Dorothy Denne While eating breakfast at my favorite breakfast haunt the other day, I overheard part of a conversation between two men in the booth behind me. Of course I couldn't see them but I can easily guess about how old at least one of them is. He was confessing to the other that he has become consciously aware that he has knee joints and he has discovered arthritis strength aspirin. I can relate to that. When I'm out walking and come to a very high curb my mind says, "Nothing
to it." My knees yelp, "Oh yeah! Easy for you to say." This sets me to thinking about what useful creatures our knees are. As Tots, we find that Daddy's knees are great for bouncing and riding horsey on. Mommy's are wonderful for hiding behind when other adults want to pat us on the head or pinch our cheeks, tell us how cute we are and how big we're getting. Our own knees come in handy for falling on. They are closer to the ground than our heads and not quite so much ouch. As growing youngsters, we discover that a grandparent's knee can be a wonderful thing to sit beside and listen to stories. We can lay our head on it and feel the love passing through on its trip from heart to heart. Then as teens, our knees serve us well as knockers and tremblers when we
face the many challenges of growing up. As adults, we can use them to kneel on to pray for the strength needed to face the many challentes of being grown. Finally comes the real age of awareness. It doesn't really come suddenly. It just seems that way. Somewhere, late 50s to mid 60ish, our knees begin to talk to us in their own way. They snap. They creak. They groan. Sometimes they display outright rebellion when we try to bend them. They bring new friends into our lives as we grow intimate with Arthur Itis and Ben Gay. They are now playing a conscious, dominant role in our lives. All we can say is, "Just watch it, knees. Don't get too sassy. With modern technology, you know, YOU CAN BE REPLACED."

Residents still mad as hell about Sierra Madre Water They're not gonna take it anymore… Dear Editor: On the evening of August 14th the City administration put on their latest show to try to convince the people that what they are doing, both physically and financially, are correct. We have no idea where they studied economics, but it certainly wasn't the school of hard knocks. They used the comparison of a person buying a home for $450,000, with a $90,000 down payment, and a loan of $360,000, and then said if you paid a regular payment for 30 years, then you would have paid the sum of $620,000 on that loan. Anyone that knows about real estate financing knows that if you pay the regular payment, you will pay two times the original amount or $720,000 during a 20 year payment schedule, and if you pay for 30 years, you will pay three times the original loan amount or $1,170,000 by the time you pay off the mortgage. That amount plus the $90,000 down payment brings the total $1,270,000, for a $450,000 house. Is this smart economics, or is it the unwise use of the people's money? This says nothing about when you sell, the IRS uses the $450,000 figure and the end
amount over that is taxable capital gains. They also used the same thinking to finance vehicles and wind-up paying two or three times the original purchase price. Is that wise use of the people's monies or should they change their ways and start to prepay on any of other loans of record and by no means should they refinance, since that move costs money too! Moving on, they also stated that the people have reduced the use of water by 27%, year over year, during the month of August 2013. This further reduces the revenue to the City, now isn't that self -defecting? They also put a tight control on all of the people and no one was allowed to speak. They said to write your questions on a 3 x 5 card and they would answer the questions, during the break times of their presentation. What they did was a different story. They only answered something like 10%, or less, of the questions that were asked and postponed the rest of the questions, and didn't let the people talk. Another observation was why do they separate
the water and sewer department and the Police and Fire departments from the rest of the City's departments? Why don't they separate out the Administration, Public Works, and Parks & Recreation, the Development and the Library and tell us how the revenues match up with the expenses in those departments? In business, all the monies go into one account to pay all the bills and are not segregated, not even in the bookkeeping. The way the City operates, there is not one person in town that will live to see the City in physical and financial order. How firmly must a person say, to change your ways and clean up the way the City operates? Here is an idea, why doesn't the City Council and Administrators invest their retirement savings with the City Government? After all, the City proved that they know best how to manage and manage the money they receive from the property owners. If they run out of money, then they can just raise the taxes and fees. In the military, they say "Shape up or ship out?" Do you get the message? Sierra Madre Watchman
Town Hall Meeting in Temple City - Sept. 26 The Mayor and City Council will hold a “ designyour-own Town Hall Meeting “ on Thursday, Sept. 26 from 7-8:30 p.m. at First Baptist Church (6019 S.

The unique event is styled like a conference, with attendees selecting two of three sessions to learn about the City’s latest developments in community preservation, economic development and finances—
including the City’s upcoming exploration of new priority-based budgeting practices. “Many citizens are perhaps intimidated from participating in government, because there’s so much to follow that they just don’t know where to begin,” said Mayor Cynthia Sternquist. “This Town Hall breaks down government topics, allowing community members to start with topics that
most interest them.” Attendees may customize their Town Hall experience, attending both or just one session. The schedule for the evening features an introduction at 7 p.m., with two 35-minute sessions at 7:15 and 7:55. Refreshments will be provided.

It's Raining Daffodils By Fran Syverson “It isn’t raining rain, you know, it’s raining daffodils!” First came a call from friends in Whittier. “Nancy’s daffodils are so beautiful, and we can see them from the window where we eat our breakfast.” Then another call, and another. Friends and relatives throughout the Southland were enjoying golden daffodils, a last gift from our daughter. They had received them as they departed from Nancy’s memorial service. Each daffodil bulb was placed in a tiny cellophane bag. Tied to the bag were a pink ribbon and a small card with a large pink ‘N’ on the front. Inside were the words, “A gift from Nancy…For you to plant and remember her smile, year after year.” Her smile—it was so much a part of Nancy that people mentioned it, time after time, when they spoke about her, both at the memorial service and in personal sharing. It was a smile that shone throughout her life, and it stayed with her through all the miserable months of her illness. It was when she was ill that she told us of her wish that daffodils be given to her friends. For Nancy, they symbolized the potential in all living things. Especially young people: her own son and daughter…her beloved baby grandson…her students…and later, the youth with whom she worked at a museum’s educational/ outreach programs. As the “Hymn of Promise” we sang in church that day says, “In the bulb there is a flower…” Nancy saw that flower in every young person in her life. And now, the phone calls kept coming. From Irvine, Laguna Woods, La Habra, Yucaipa, Sierra Madre, Redlands, nextdoor neighbors. From Pacific Palisades where “girl-friends” had planted several bulbs in her memory while attending their annual church ladies’ retreat, a gathering near and dear to Nancy’s heart. Finally, the dozen daffodils I’d saved for myself began to bloom. Now it was up to me to remember her smile, year after year. As her mom, I’d been
privileged to share lots of those smiles. They floated through the photo album of my mind. The ballerina birthday party with 5-year-old girls twirling about in homemade tutus. Prom night. Church choir. Campfires on our High Sierra backpacking treks. Exchanging vows with her beloved. Her newborns cradled in her arms. Holding praying mantises or snakes to acquaint young museum visitors with nature’s marvels. Nancy, smiling, smiling, smiling. Smiles to greet family and co-workers who came to her rehab unit to celebrate her 59th birthday party that she herself had planned, knowing that it was her chance to say her good-byes. And finally, from her hospital bed, how her beautiful brown eyes and those smiles greeted us whenever we came to be with her! Of course clouds had sometimes darkened Nancy’s life. The greatest of these was the moment when her doctor confirmed the diagnosis of ALS, and she burst into rain-tears, knowing all the daffodils she would never live to see, the grandchildren she would never hug. “And when you see clouds upon the hill…” The familiar song promises that clouds will bring “crowds of daffodils.” Not for her, she knew. Nancy had always truly lived her philosophy: “I think you can decide whether to be happy, and I’ve decided I will.” Even through the clouds, she seemed to see the daffodils. In everyone she met, she saw the flower they were or could become. Little wonder, then, that she chose daffodil bulbs as symbolic gifts to all her loved ones. So now, with phone calls coming in from friends who were enjoying her daffodils in bloom and remembering her smile, I found myself paraphrasing the old melody. Wherever Nancy’s friends were, indeed, it “…wasn’t raining rain at all. ’Twas raining daffodils.” Written in commemoration of the first anniversary of Nancy’s death on September 13, 2012. fs

Charges filed regarding illegal boarding house operation
Chinese journalist Shi Tao released after serving eight years and six months Shi Tao, a journalist in China who was sentenced in 2005 to ten years imprisonment for sending to a foreign web site instructions he received from the government about how journalists should act prior to the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre, has been released. PEN International announced today. At the time, Shi Tao's case reverberated around the world as it clearly violated journalistic freedom. While Yahoo! claimed that China Yahoo! must follow China's law, it was in fact Hong Kong Yahoo! who gave out the IP address of Shi Tao as the one who sent out the information. Hong Kong has an ordinance on privacy. The information Hong Kong Yahoo! gave out was not ordered by Hong Kong's court as the ordinance required. In fact there was no police order at all. In 2007, a hearing was held in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Commissioner on Privacy, Roderick B. Woo, was called to testify by the Hong Kong's legislature. Visual Artists Guild was

the only NGO to attend the hearing. Woo claimed that since Shi Tao's account was a commercial account, there was no violation of privacy, to which legislator Audrey Eu countered that the fact that Shi Tao was sentenced proved that such privacy had been violated. Hong Kong Yahoo! did not appear at the hearing and merely sent out a letter denying any violation on their part. During a 2006 US Congressional hearing, Yahoo! general counsel Michael Callahan claimed that Yahoo! China had to cooperate with the government and further claimed that Yahoo! China
had no knowledge of the purpose of China's request. A police document from China subsequently revealed that China had requested Hong Kong Yahoo! to provide the information and clearly stated the reason for such a request. Jerry Yang, then CEO of Yahoo!, apologized to Shi Tao's mother during the second US Congressional hearing held on the case in late 2007. A suit was filed against Yahoo! to which Yahoo! settled out of court. Visual Artists Guild celebrates Shi Tao's release and call on the government of China to release all prisoners of conscience.
Burger Continental gets green light from Health Dept. After a couple of weeks of closure albeit with a lot of local publicity, the owners of Burger Continental have now been given the green light to open their restaurant again. Burger Continental, a Mediterranean restaurant in Pasadena, had served its last supper for a while after Dr. Eric Walsh, Director of the Pasadena Health Department’s inspectors discovered several grave
health code violations during an inspection of the long time facility on South Lake last week. An apparent “routine inspection” on Aug. 28, found health department officials citing the restaurant for having cockroaches, unsafe food temperatures well above the standard 41 degrees, improper cleaning and sanitation, “gross contamination of food preparation surfaces,
improper disposal of liquid waste and improper hand washing.” In addition to the food contamination and vermin, officials also found structural violations such as a resurfaced floor which needs immediate attention. Walk in freezers also has stagnant water. There were also numerous holes in walls and ceilings. The extensive list of violations also included mildew on their ice machine.
On Thursday Sept 5, the city of Pasadena filed a criminal complaint charging two people with 192 misdemeanor charges in connection with illegal boarding home operations at 389 Ashtabula Street. The criminal complaint that was filed by the City AttorneyCity Prosecutor’s Office includes 96 counts each against Dave Wohlman and Felicia Edelman based on their roles as operators of the illegal boarding home known as “Uncle Dave’s Sober Living.” The charges span illegal operations from April 9, 2013 through Aug. 29, 2013, and include violations of the California Fire Code and the Pasadena Municipal Code. The two owners are being notified of the charges and will be noticed to appear in court on September 12, 2013. The charges were filed in the Pasadena Branch of Los
Angeles County Superior Court. The charges were filed this week after City officials served an inspection warrant on Thursday morning, August 29, 2013 at the Ashtabula address. The inspection warrant was approved by the Los Angeles County Superior Court for service without prior notice and also allowed for forcible entry into the premises. Pasadena Police Department Officers secured the premises and kept tenants outside while the inspection occurred. No forced entry occurred. Multiple life-safety issues in violation of the state Fire Code were discovered during the Aug. 29 inspection which also found beds for as many as 27 occupants inside the two-story, single-family residence. During the Aug. 29 inspection, several tenants were interviewed and videotaped while
others were interviewed without being on camera. The property was referred to the City’s C.R.A.S.H. (Community Resources Against Substandard Housing) Team in June, 2012 after other efforts for code compliance failed. The C.R.A.S.H. Team was unsuccessful in getting the owners to bring the property into compliance with state and local laws. The C.R.A.S.H. Team is a multi-departmental team from Fire, Code Enforcement, Building Safety, Health, Police, City Prosecutor and the Humane Society who handle “problem locations” with two or more potential violations under state or local regulations. The team is committed to preserving the quality of life in the City and the safety and security of all residents through enforcement of applicable laws.
Bill honoring civil rights leader Cesar E. Chavez passes senate floor Assemblymember Roger Hernandez (D-West Covina) announced today that AB 34 passed the State Senate Floor with a 32-2 vote. AB 34 establishes Nuestra Señora Reina de La Paz (La Paz) in Kern County as a state historic landmark. La Paz is the burial site and the home of Civil Rights Leader Cesar E. Chavez. “We are one step closer in realizing a goal that was forgotten for too long. California should have been at the forefront of designating La Paz, the burial and home of the great
Civil Rights leader Cesar E. Chavez, many years ago. AB 34 properly honors the work of a Latino leader who pushed for justice, dignity and job protection for farm workers,” stated Hernandez. On October 8, 2012 President Obama declared La Paz a National Historic Landmark. The designation honoring a Latino is the first since the 1700s. La Paz covers 187 acres of eastern Kern County, California. The site is significant as the headquarters of the United Farm Workers of
America (UFW). From the site, Cesar E. Chavez met with public officials, labor leaders, community organizations and industry representatives as a voice for the disenfranchised and the less fortunate. “I will continue working with all my colleagues in the Legislature to ensure La Paz deserves the proper recognition on the state level, since the federal government has officially recognized the unique historical significance of La Paz,” concluded Hernandez.

We’re never too old to learn to use computers
PCC considers Hugo Schwyzer’s future at PCC Hugo Schwyzer, a faculty member of the college, released statements publicly on the internet recently that he has had sexual relations with his students as recently as 2011 while an instructor at the community college. “Such conduct, if con-
firmed as true, would be a grave violation of college policy warranting termination. The college does not in any way condone or tolerate such conduct by any faculty member. All of us in the college are outraged
by Mr. Schwyzer's statements about his conduct. The college is acting swiftly to conduct an investigation and to hold Mr. Schwyzer accountable for his actions while an employee.” General counsel Gail Cooper said.
Monrovia's Santa Fe Middle School Continued from page 1
to start shooting, according to Monrovia Police Chief Jim Hunt. The school, at Duarte and Peck roads, was placed on immediate lockdown and classrooms were cleared one by one, and students allowed to leave on a convoy of school buses to reunite them with their anxious parents who had been waiting in a parking lot where the future Gold
Line station will be. After hours of police officers checking from room to room and numerous area police agencies assisting, no suspect was found and the threat deemed over and all road blocks cleared shortly after 6PM. At Santa Fe Middle School, the last of the students was moved off campus just before 5p.m Santa Fe Middle School
had about 640 students in grades six through eight in the 2012-13 school year, according to state records. In recent weeks, local agencies such as Los Angeles County Sherriff and the Pasadena Police dept. have had extensive “live shooter” training sessions to help officers better deal with such a stressful scenario as a school shooting.
Lynn Rabin is a retired LAUSD teacher. Through her local small business Senior to Senior, she now works with people— specializing in those of us over 50—who want to learn to use our computers better. “I have lots of students in their seventies and eighties who were given a new computer by their grandchildren,” says Lynn with a smile. “They want to learn how to turn the thing on and off without breaking it, and they want to be able to use email and sort family photos.” She realized several years ago that as the digital age arrived, elder generations were being unintentionally left out. Getting older people comfortable with
new technology is fun and rewarding. Lynn brings a particularly gentle and humorous approach to the process. “The day after my first lesson I got a ‘Lesson Review’” says one student. “It goes point by point over everything she showed me, it was very helpful to remembering what we did.” Lynn says she will work with absolute beginners all the way to advanced users to learn new productivity tips and short-cuts. But she says the lesson plan is a vital and unique piece of her educational process. “Most of us can’t remember what we had for breakfast yesterday. Of course for those of us who are a little older, that
doesn’t improve as the years go by.” For beginners, Lynn mails or hand delivers the lesson review. Clients who are facile with email get an attachment emailed to them. They get a chance to review in writing each item they learned, and practice at their own pace. Many students are relieved to know they are not alone out there. And most make great strides toward competency in a very short time. “I meet some truly wonderful people in this job,” says Lynn. “I learn as much from them as they do from me.” For more information on private or semi-private computer lessons, call (818) 636-7388.

transportation agency’s foray into local real estate and thus end any mismanagement of the properties by the State. Second, it finally and conclusively ends any speculation about an aboveground 710 route. Finally, it uses the proceeds — millions of dollars — to do some good locally. “It is time to get CalTrans out of the landlord business
and end the speculation about an above-ground 710 extension,” said Gatto. “SB 416 gives communities like Pasadena certainty about the 710 extension and provide the opportunity to use the millions of dollars in proceeds to do some good locally, like improving exit along the 110, and erecting much needed sound walls along the 210.”

“King of Motown” Smokey Robinson to headline Crystal Ball 201 3 Music legend Smokey Robinson will headline Methodist Hospital Foundation’s 24th Crystal Ball October 19 at the Pasadena Convention Center. As one of Motown Records biggest stars and inhouse songwriters, few artists have done as much to create the template for modern pop music. Smokey delivered a string of hits with his band, The Miracles, and wrote for many other Motown stars, including The Temptations, Marvin Gaye and The Four Tops. Now over 55 years after he first sang for the label, Smokey Robinson continues to bring a generation of Motown classics to his fans. Crystal Ball 2013 co-chairs are K. Heiner Vogelbach, MD, and Christine Antonovich. Antonoivich co- chaired Crystal Ball in 2010 and 2011, and Vogelbach chaired the gala in 2006. John and Jane Wuo, longtime Crystal Ball supporters, are this year’s
honorees. John was a cochair for the 2012 event. Dr. Vogelbach, “This year Crystal Ball will support cardiac care, specifically the cardiac cath lab, and that’s very important to me.” “Without philanthropy, we wouldn’t be able to offer some of the services that we provide.” He hopes to see more than 1,000 attendees push the giving level to an all-time high, enabling the department to make significant improvements, “While Methodist Hospital is a community hospital, we offer services that are comparable to or better than anything offered anywhere else in the Southland, “he said. “We need to continue reaching out to the community, and Crystal Ball is one of the best ways I know of to do that, I will do what I can to make sure everyone who attends has a fantastic time.” “Co-chair Christine Antonovich, “It takes many wonderful people working very hard and with great spirit to make a fine community

South Pasadena Arts Council introduces Sparc Lab! The South Pasadena Arts Council (SPARC) is pleased to announce a new program, SPARC Lab—a series of bi-monthly meetings designed to bring together, visual, performing and media artists, writers, designers, art lovers and those working in the industry with the goal to provide inspiration, collaboration, networking, and professional development opportunities in a fun and casual environment. SPARC Lab will be held the 15th of every other month and will feature speakers, panel discussions, presentations and special workshops on a wide range of topics and activities in the visual, performing and media arts, such as the business of art, working with galleries/collecting, art publishing, and studio tours. SPARC Lab will not only celebrate South Pasadena’s prolific cultural community, but also include
participation by artists and cultural organizations beyond its borders. SPARC Lab is free for SPARC members and $7 for non-members. Special participatory workshops may have additional costs. SPARC membership for individuals is $30/year. The first SPARC Lab will be held Sunday, September 15, 7 to 9 p.m. at the Fremont Centre Theatre (1000 Fremont Avenue, South Pasadena). The topic of this kickoff event is: “The Creative Life”, and will include a conversation with five South Pasadena artists that discusses, from the artist’s perspective, the creative process, how to balance work, and life with artistic creation, challenges for growth and artistic development, and a series of other questions and observations. The participating artists include: photographer Kathleen Laraia McLaughlin; dancer
and dance educator Fiona Eddy; visual and animation artist Valerio Ventura; playwright Paul Kikuchi and musician Yvette Devereaux SPARC Lab was created by a group of South Pasadena artists, writers, designers, and SPARC members. “We listened to feedback from community members and one of the things they wanted was the chance to regularly get together with people who live in their community and who share a similar interest in the arts,” says SPARC Lab organizer, Barb Skoog. “SPARC Lab gives people the chance to explore and engage with the diverse and amazing creativity of the arts right 8in their own community.” If people are interested in participating on the SPARC Lab Committee or have program content suggestions, please contact us at info@sopasartscouncil. com.

organized vigils nationwide. Two such vigils were held locally. One in Sierra Madre, another in Pasadena Monday evening. The progressive organization in conjunction with concerned area citizens held signs which read “Another War/ Syriasly” in Pasadena and some held a message for Rep. Judy Chu saying “ Rep Chu NO on Syria” in Sierra Madre’s Kersting Court. In Pasadena over 150 people chanted peacefully for no military intervention outside Paseo Colorado. A lone protestor countered the majority and called for immediate military strikes.
During the Sierra Madre vigil, organized by Jeff Rudisill, approximately 12 people stood silently on the corner of Baldwin and Sierra Madre to get their message across. The vigil lasted for approximately two hours. The Pasadena protest coordinated by Patrick Briggs said ““Our message is very simple. We are demanding that congressional representatives, Judy Chu and Adam Schiff, vote ‘No’ on any potential congressional legislation that would authorize military strikes on Syria,” said Patrick Briggs, one of the organizers and a member of “democracy in action” group
Move On. “We cannot repeat the many mistakes this country has already made in militarily intervening in the Middle East.” Congresswoman Judy Chu wanted to hear voices of her constituents on the proposed U.S. military intervention last week through a twitter feed. Meanwhile, Pasadena Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a senior Member of the Intelligence Committee, released a statement on September 2 stating that Syria President Bashar al-Assad must be held accountable, but Schiff is clearly undecided on a military response.

Sierra College’s plan to build on the vacant land on the Southwest intersection of Myrtle and Huntington Drive at the last city council meeting. Mt. Sierra College is currently located on the Northeast corner of the same intersection on 101 East Huntington Drive. The college’s current lease expires in two years and the hope is that Other projects were also in the running for the same location and included a four-star hotel which

Mayor Lutz had originally favored, a mixed-used retail and restaurant, and another restaurant/retail project that included 24-Hour Fitness. However, council ultimately chose the College plans. The new campus could feature a three-story, 32,000
square foot environmentally green building, including classrooms, auditorium, bookstore, offices, and much more. The college’s current lease expires in two years and they plan to complete construction by 2015.
Hunger strike in California prisons ends “Thursday inmates ended their hunger strike protesting the state’s inhumane practice of prolonged solitary confinement after state officials responded to their demands for reform. Inmate advocates announced that the promise of legislative hearings was one reason to end the strike. “It is estimated approximately 80,000 prisoners across the
country are held in solitary confinement, with nearly 12,000 held in California. California is one of many states that allows for inmates to live in solitary confinement indefinitely. We urge lawmakers to make our state a leader by holding the promised legislative hearings and restricting this inhumane practice. “Those suffering
from mental illness or developmental disabilities should not be placed in solitary confinement and those who begin to show signs of a mental breakdown should be removed. Solitary confinement should only be used as a last resort. Prisoners should not have to go on hunger strikes and risk their lives to receive humane treatment.”
Downtown Arcadia businesses create ‘Community Benefit District’ In an effort to attract more people to their area of Arcadia, downtown business owners recently voted to create a Community Benefit District, according to a published report. This means each business owner would pay extra in property taxes that would go into a fund to better market the area to customers and visitors, the report said. The idea of the district passed with 60 percent in favor of creating it, the report said. In fact, in the first year alone the district is expected to raise around $117,000 for public relations efforts and beautifying the area, which is comprised of the area of St. Joseph Street to the north, California Street to the south, Second Avenue to the east and Santa Anita Avenue to the west.
By SHEL SEGAL The district is using what is called a property-based business improvement model – like in Old Pasadena – which bases the funding on property values and taxes, as opposed to Old Town Monrovia’s which is based on sales amounts, the report said. With the Gold Line Station at North First Avenue and East Santa Clara Street scheduled to open in 2015, efforts to help brand the area have been fast-tracked, the report said. One of the spearheads of the effort – Matt McSweeney, owner of Matt Denny’s Restaurant on Santa Anita Avenue – said the money will really come in handy. “We’re hoping to prepare for the Gold Line, revitalize the downtown a little bit and the money that
funds this every year can go to cleaning up the streets a little more,” McSweeney said. McSweeney said it has taken three years to create the district. He added he is hopeful over time the money will be spent wisely. “There’s a bunch of little things we can do,” he said. “In the 25-year plan there’s room for mixeduse construction. There are people already inquiring about that.” In addition, McSweeney said the funds will bring much-needed change to downtown Arcadia. “In the next five to six years, this place will be a lot different than it looks today,” he said. “The thing was just getting the owners on board.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@ beaconmedianews.com).
PRESCRIBING FOR SLEEP APNEA? YOUR DME COMPANY LETTING YOU DOWN? If you’re frustrated with your DME provider, find out why thousands of physicians prefer “Classic”
Why Classic?
“Sleep” is our specialty. That’s right, no oxygen, scooters, wheelchairs, beds or other DME. We supply only PAP equipment and related replenishment supplies. This allows us to be real experts in what we do and to concentrate on delivering the patient care that matters. The fact we serve more than 18,000 patients over 18 states and are growing rapidly is testament to our focus and commitment to delivering timely setup and having happy and compliant patients.
Compliance through great patient care
is what really sets us apart from the pack. Our licensed respiratory professionals (respiratory therapists and registered sleep techs) work with patients from the time of setup and throughout their therapy with one goal in mind…to ensure they quickly adapt to their therapy and stay compliant over time.
Our CPAP Circle of Care® program
was carefully designed to achieve this. The first step of the program is for one of our licensed respiratory therapists to complete the setup faceto-face with the patient, either in their home or their doctor’s office, usually within 72 hours of approval. Our R/T will set the machine to the prescription and then educate the patient on its use, care and maintenance. And educate the patient on what to expect over the first days and weeks of their therapy. We set up all patients on the highest quality machines fitted with wireless modems (regardless of insurance). And we leave the modems on the machine indefinitely so as to be

We relieve you from the burden of answering day-to-day equipment issues.
able to continue to collect usage data. After setup patients are passed to our patient care center for ongoing compliance care. Our licensed clinicians make outgoing calls at 72 hours, 30 days and 90 days after setup to interdict any problems patients may be having. A field R/T will make a re-visit to a patient in their home where a problem cannot be resolved over the phone.
Download on Demand® - Driving Compliance
When calling patients we use data generated from our proprietary Download on Demand® software. This takes the raw data streams from patient’s modems, parses the data to produce compliance reports containing key data points and a graph that our clinicians use so that they can have an intelligent conversation with the patient based on that patient’s actual use of their equipment. Of course patients can (and do!) call in to our patient care center for help and advice from our clinicians at any time.
Our goal is to have happy, compliant patients while taking the brunt of the every-day questions patients invariably have. This relieves the burden from our referring physician’s offices who otherwise have to deal with this call volume, and depending on the experience of the doctor in this field, may not be able to answer typical questions the patient has regarding equipment issues (e.g. how to fix a leaking mask).
Skeptical?
So you’ve heard it all before? All the DME’s brag that they’re the best and have a great compliance and supply replenishment program.... everybody talks the talk...so who do you believe? Your patients...that’s who! We’ll prove it to you. Send us two or three patients and then ask your patients about the care they received and their opinion of the process... then compare the results to your existing DME provider. Talk to your staff about the interaction they have with our office. Look at our documentation. Reach out to Bill Kleiman (contact info below) to set up an inservice over lunch with your staff to go over our program and answer any questionvs you may have.

The prescribing doctor receives documentation by eFax (or electronically via EMR system integration), starting with confirmation of receipt of the referral through every touch we have with the patient. This includes a copy of the 2-page compliance reports containing our Download on Demand® data and a copy of the notes made by our clinician during a call. Our proprietary systems automate the flow of documentation keeping referring doctors completely informed about their patients’ progress and ensure physicians have the documentation they need for follow-up consultations with their patients.

Six costly beneficiary mistakes to avoid If you’ve ever spent time working through your estate plan with a professional, you know how important it is to update your beneficiaries. Failing to do so can result in costly mistakes – for you and your loved ones. Here are six big mistakes that can easily be avoided with a bit of proactive planning: Mistake #1 – Not naming a beneficiary Ensure you have listed beneficiary designations on all of your retirement accounts. If you don’t name a beneficiary and your estate becomes your beneficiary rather than a relative or loved one, your relative can lose their ability to use “stretch” payouts based on their life expectancy. This means that the ability to retain tax-advantaged status for the assets is lost and the probate process cannot be avoided. Mistake #2 – Not listing contingent beneficiaries or contemplating disclaimers Your spouse or partner is likely your primary beneficiary for most accounts, but if he or she passes away first and no contingent beneficiaries are listed, it’s comparable to having no beneficiary designation. If you both die at the same time, funds go into probate – a process most families want to avoid. Naming contingent beneficiaries also gives the primary beneficiary the option to execute a qualified disclaimer so some assets can pass to “next-in-line” beneficiaries. For example,
a primary beneficiary may not wish to claim the assets because of tax implications, and prefer instead they pass on to another beneficiary. Mistake #3 – Lacking specifics in beneficiary designations You may list “children” as your beneficiaries, but including specific names may be more appropriate – especially if you’re part of a blended family. Many states won’t include or recognize stepchildren when the word “children” is listed. Another risk of vagueness is that a family member you’ve lost contact with may enter the picture and try to claim a piece of your remaining assets. Note that listing specific names makes it even more critical that beneficiary designations are updated when major life events happen that require names be added or subtracted. Also consider consulting with a qualified legal professional, as these circumstances can become complex. Mistake #4 – Failing to Keep Designations Up To Date Beneficiary designations override your will, so it’s crucial to keep them up to date. You may need to update your beneficiary designations every few years due to life changes or if beneficiaries have died or your relationship with them has changed. This is particularly applicable if you’ve gone through a divorce or remarried. If your ex-spouse inadvertently remains the designated
beneficiary of an account, he or she may have the upper hand if the case winds up in court. Mistake #5 – Failing to Keep Beneficiary Designation Forms on File Keep copies of updated beneficiary designation forms on file. In this age of mergers-and-acquisitions, the records of an acquired custodial company can potentially be lost or destroyed when a new firm assumes ownership. Without a verifiable form to prove beneficiary status, the “default” provision of the plan applies, which typically may be phrased as “spouse first, if living; if not, then the estate.” Mistake #6 – Not considering the financial or emotional readiness of beneficiaries The money that designated beneficiaries receive from IRAs or qualified plans is unrestricted in most cases. You can’t control who gets what amount of money or when, nor limit how money is used unless restrictions are put in place in advance. One restriction is naming a trust as the beneficiary and drafting terms which stipulate when specific individuals receive their share of the accounts. Trusts are often used in cases where a beneficiary is unable to manage his or her own financial affairs, lacks financial responsibility or in complex family situations. Estate planning isn’t the most enjoyable part of planning for your financial future, but it is crucial to
helping ensure that your assets are handled the way you desire after you no longer have control. Beneficiary designations can be complex and differ depending on your situation. Consider working with a financial advisor who can help you update your beneficiaries on financial accounts and provide financial guidance through major life events. Jean D.

Christian, Director of Legislative Affairs. Just like a piece of music or literature, plans created by an architect are copyrighted because these plans become functional works of art. Whether it is a landmark like the Walt Disney Concert Hall or a common office building, the architect should know who is constructing his or her design and ensure it is being done correctly. AB 630 has received unanimous, bi-partisan support throughout the legislative process. Earlier this week it was approved in the Senate. The bill is backed by the American Institute of Architects, California Council and the California Architects Board.

plans,” explained Assemblymember Holden. “It is my goal to ensure every architect receives his or her due and can ensure their vision is executed properly. Misunderstandings about who can use an architect’s work have resulted in lawsuits. AB 630 should help to resolve these disputes before they end up in court.” “AB 630 helps consumers understand when they are able to use the services prepared by an architect.

The State Legislature today gave final approval to Assemblymember Chris Holden’s (D-Pasadena) bill to end disputes over architects’ designs. The Assembly voted 75 to 0 on amendments taken earlier in the Senate. AB 630 now goes to Governor Brown for signature. AB 630 safeguards an architect’s work such as architectural drawings or plans, by clarifying that a person can only use the plans or drawings if they have written permission. Architects currently face a challenge preventing those who are not authorized to use their work from using it again and again. “Architects show the pride they have in each design by copyrighting

La Salle defeats Pasadena 28-0 Coming off the bench in the second quarter, quarterback Will Pyburn sparked the La Salle High offense to a 28-0 defeat of visiting Pasadena High on Friday night in a nonleague game. Pyburn completed seven of 11 passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns in the win. He said he was happy just to get the opportunity. “I was ready,” the sophomore QB said. “I was waiting all summer. I was working really hard. I was just waiting on my name to be called. It was great to come in and lead the team and get the win. The blocking was good, the receivers were catching everything. My throws were on most of the time. It was a good game.” Lancers coach Russ Gordon was also pleased with the win. “We just felt we were sloppy in the first half and settled down in the second half,” Gordon said. “We came on and established the run. I thought we looked pretty good. Our number two quarterback – Will Pyburn – came in and gave us a spark. I think he did a great job.”
Walmart proposed for El Monte

He added he was very proud of his team’s defensive effort. “Our defense looked phenomenal,” he said. “They played well last week and they played better this week.” Leading, 7-0, at halftime, La Salle moved the ball 58 yards on four plays to take a 14-0 lead midway through the third quarter, capping the drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Sean Sung. Running backs Matthew Cina and Jared Akins scored on 12- and 3-yard touchdown runs in the third and fourth quarters to round out La Salle’s scoring.
beer, wine, and distilled beverages, photo lab, a food tenant (i.e. McDonalds), a non-food tenant (such as a bank, beauty salon, or clinic), and an outdoor garden center. The City of El Monte is the lead agency for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that must be done before construction can be authorized. The Scoping Session was meant to inform the public about the proposed project and to ensure that the residents had the opportunity to provide input on topics related to the EIR. About 50 El Monteans attended the event, some passionately in favor of the construction of a Walmart, others fearful of the potential consequences of having such a big store at that location. “I want to see a Walmart in El Monte before I die,” said resident Mrs. Powell. Like her, others welcome the idea of a store that will keep their tax dollars in the City. Several admitted to going on a regular basis

Despite the lopsided score, Pasadena coach Doug Bledsoe said his team has plenty of time to improve. “The main thing for us is to come together as a team,” Bledsoe said. “Once we start executing on both sides on the ball and stay in the game and start scoring some points we’ll be strong. Our defense played well in the first half, got worn down in the second half. We got a lot of young guys. But we’ll be OK by the time we get to league.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com. Follow him via Twitter @sports_ beacon.)
to surrounding cities like Arcadia and Baldwin Park to shop. Most of the concerns were related to traffic and transportation, with residents questioning how the neighborhood will be affected by the delivery trucks that will stock the Walmart as well as by the increased traffic once the store opens for business. Others brought up the need for street safety since Shirpser Elementary School is just a couple of blocks away from the store’s proposed address. A few Walmart employees who currently work at nearby stores (Duarte, Rosemead, and Baldwin Park) voiced their concerns that the construction of a Walmart in El Monte may affect the business in their own stores, possibly translating into decreased work hours or even the loss of their jobs. Arrula and Thai patiently and respectfully addressed the concerns of the participants and presented Powerpoint slides that showed the project’s landscape plan
and architectural rendering. Along with a Walmart representative who was present at the meeting, they promised to take into consideration the points raised by the residents. For that purpose, the team took notes and recorded the meeting. The certification of the EIR is just one of several discretionary approvals that will be needed prior to construction. Later on there will be further opportunity for public involvement, including a 45-day Draft EIR comment period that is anticipated to run from November 2013 to midJanuary of 2014. While residents excited about the Walmart store wanted an opening date to look forward to, such date is not yet available. However, it was said that construction would take about 14 months after the EIR is presented to the City Council. The tentative date for that City Council Hearing is May of 2014, which would place the opening of the Walmart store sometime in the summer of 2015.

in a number of Tournamentrelated events throughout the month of December 2013. Tournament of Roses President R. Scott Jenkins made the announcement at a press conference and public event at Tournament House in Pasadena. In his remarks, Jenkins referred to Scully as being in a league of his own and literally the best in his field. “Vin Scully is incredibly accomplished and yet still so down to earth,” said Jenkins. “His own life is one in which many dreams have come true and even more importantly, he has been at the microphone describing for listeners everywhere the dreams of others coming true. I couldn’t be happier that he accepted my invitation to be the Grand Marshal. I know his fans everywhere are cheering right now.” “I am deeply humbled and greatly honored to be the Grand Marshal of the 125th Rose Parade,” said Scully. “I look forward to sharing this wonderful moment with my wife, Sandi, and the millions who will be watching.” Scully recently announced that he will return to

the Dodger broadcast booth for an unprecedented 65th season in 2014. He began his professional baseball broadcasting career in 1950, with the Brooklyn Dodgers. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982. During his unmatched career, he has called three perfect games, 25 no-hitters, 25 World Series and 12 AllStar Games. Iconic moments called by Scully include Kirk Gibson’s miraculous Game 1 home run in the 1988 World Series, Dan Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Hank Aaron’s recordsetting 715th home run, Sandy Koufax’s four no-hitters (including a perfect game) and the scoreless-inning
streaks of Dodgers greats Don Drysdale and Orel Hershiser. When Scully began broadcasting the Dodgers had yet to win a World Series. Three years later, at the age of 25, he became the youngest person to ever broadcast announce a World Series game. In 1955, he had his most memorable moment behind the microphone, as he called the Dodgers’ first and only championship in Brooklyn. In Los Angeles, Scully has called Dodgers World Championships in 1959, ’63, ’65, ’81 and ’88. He was elected the top sportscaster of the 20th century by the nonprofit American Sportscasters Association in 2000.
Con Gioia, directed by Preethi de Silva, acclaimed expert on the performance of the keyboard music of C.P.E. Bach, will devote the next two seasons beginning in November 2013 to concerts of chamber music and solo keyboard and orchestral works by the composer to commemorate his 300th birthday in March 2014. Born in Weimar, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was the second son of J. S. Bach and his wife Maria Barbara and more famous than his father and considered “an original genius” in the late eighteenth century. He served at the court of Frederic the Great in Berlin and Potsdam for almost twenty years before accepting an appointment of director of music of the five main protestant churches and cantor at the Johanneum in Hamburg, as the successor to Georg Philipp Telemann (his godfather). A summary follows of Con Gioia’s two programs
in 2013–2014, which will be followed by two others in 2014-2015. The concerts will feature artists performing on period instruments, including a German-style harpsichord with exquisite chinoiserie (see photo attached) and an eighteenthcentury Viennese-style fortepiano. Concert I, on Sunday, November 17, 2013 at 3:30 p.m., at the historic Church of the Angels at 1100 Avenue 64 in Pasadena: (www. coa-pasadena.org) Keyboard solos and chamber music for harpsichord, viola da gamba, violin, and flute.

Duarte Burglaries continue – Residents asked to be vigilant The City of Duarte and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department have advised residents to be aware that two burglaries occurred in the Royal Oaks or Area 9 of Duarte recently. On Wednesday, September 4, between 7:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. in the 2600 Block of Sunnydale Drive while the resident was away from home the
suspect(s) pried open the garage side entry door and gained entry into the home. Among the items reported stolen were a miscellaneous gold jewelry and approximately $500 of currency in coins. There were no witnesses. On Friday, September 6, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. in the 400 Block of Las Lomas Road while the resident was away
from home the suspect(s) attempted to enter through a side window but failed to make entry as the wooden stake would not allow them to pry the window open. Entry was successfully made through a side door which was pried open. Among the items reported stolen were a black Ipad 3, a white gold (male) wedding ring, and $500 of currency in coins. There were no witnesses.
Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Approved Former Pasadena police chief Barney Melekian, Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee, said the monument is an important commemoration of an event in Armenian history that many, including the U.S. government, do not recognize as a genocide.
“Most people have no idea of the significance of April 24, part of this is because the Turkish government continues to deny that this event ever happened,” Melekian said. The memorial design consists of a tripod from which a drop of water will fall into a basin beneath it.
Approximately 1.5 million drops will fall over the course of a year. The tripod will be surrounded by stone paving, benches and a formal hedge in a circular pattern. It would be 28 feet in diameter and 16 feet in height. The project will be placed in Memorial Park.

27th Annual ASID Pasadena Home & Kitchen Tour joins Union Station to end homelessness A local group of interior designers is gearing up for the 27th year of their popular fall Pasadena Home & Kitchen Tour, “A Day of Great Design.” And for the first time in its history, leaders of the Pasadena Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers say they will donate a portion of the tour’s proceeds to Union Station Homeless Services of Pasadena to help end homelessness in the San Gabriel Valley. Tickets will go on sale August 1st for this year’s event—to be held Sunday, October 6th-- featuring selfguided tours of professionally designed interiors of four spectacular homes in Pasadena, La Cañada and Arcadia. From warm contemporary to “green” up-country, the public can see first-hand an eclectic selection of top-trend kitchens and baths using state-of-the-art materials and appliances. Event organizers say these homes are “prime examples” of the excellent work by the members interior designers. But what makes this year special, they say, is that 10 percent of ticket proceeds will be donated to Union Station to honor the nonprofit’s 40th anniversary of service to the homeless of the San Gabriel Valley. "By purchasing a ticket
for our Home and Kitchen Tour, our attendees are contributing to solving the problem of homelessness in our own community,” said 2013 Tour Chair Marlene Oliphant. “Designers are in the business of creating dream homes for their clients, but it is also our dream that everyone has a place to call home. We hope to make a difference in many people’s lives." Ticket holders can meet the designers and see the latest in-home products from event sponsors and industry partners. Attendees can also shop unique boutiques selling gifts, clothing and accessories and enjoy complementary pastries and coffee, courtesy of Bristol Farms. "We’ve been opening the doors of beautiful homes designed by our members to the public for more than a quarter of a century,” said Oliphant. “It’s easy to see the benefit of hiring one of our professional designers to create a home that suits the owner’s lifestyle and budget.” When: The 27th Annual ASID Pasadena Chapter Home & Kitchen Tour will be held Sunday, October 6th from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Homes: La Cañada - “Green” Up-country

2013 Pasadena Festival of The Arts Sept. 14-15 Paseo Colorado The 2013 Pasadena Festival of The Arts started as a dream and then became a reality after Dave Drake, an art show magazine director/ artist, saw so many shows canceling due to the downturn in economy. “After a show cancelled its 100th Annual celebration, I had had enough, artists love shows, people love art and I loved the idea of putting the two together!” Drake said. Growing up in Altadena made Pasadena seem like a perfect fit and as an artist Drake had always wanted to become an event organizer so when the opportunity for the details fell into place a new event was created with the collective efforts of the artists, city, venue, sponsors and all the vendors involved. As a result, on September 14-15, from 10-6pm Saturday and 11-6pm on Sunday, the 3rd
Annual, Pasadena Festival of The Arts will be taking place with all the art, artists, music, food and fun coming to the beautiful Paseo Colorado, 280 E. Colorado, Pasadena. CA. More information can be found at www.PasadenaFOTA.com or visit www. LaydBack.com and as Dave says, “Admission is will always be Free!” One of the most intriguing parts of this show, in my opinion, is the work of British rock photographer Chris Walter. Walter’s images bring you back to an amazing era in not only music but society as a whole. An extraordinary, intimate look behind the scenes of Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles and hundreds of other rock icons. The 2013 Pasadena Festival of The Arts will take place on September 14-15 to all the celebration & fanfare
of the past years! Fine art shows, craft fairs, music festivals and cultural events allow modern art, music, and contemporary craft to exist as an American Pastime. Artists, craftsmen, musicians, and entertainers inspire all Americans and some go on to art & music schools to become professional and sometimes traveling artists at an art festival similar to our LaydBack Productions. We welcome all artists, craftsmen, musicians, sponsors and art lovers to apply, participate, and/or become patrons of the arts! Join us from 10am6pm on Saturday and 11am6pm on Sunday at Paseo Colorado, 280 E Colorado Blvd. Pasadena, CA 91101. Admission is Free and Parking is Free (first 90 minutes) with complimentary validation and courtesy of Paseo Colorado.

Dream the Midsummer Night's Dream Southern California Shakespeare Festival players put on rollicking performance By Courtney Blackburn In ancient Athens, Greece, when Duke Theseus (he who defeated the Minotaur, with the help of a plucky princess and a ball of thread) is about to wed the Amazon Queen Hippolyta, another marriage is destined to take place. It is the marriage of plucky Hermia to her father's choice suitor, Demetrius. But Hermia loves another named Lysander. And Demetrius is beloved by a young woman named Helena. When the competing couples end up eloping, escaping, and chasing each other in the forest outside Athens, they run straight into another quarreling couple: Oberon and Titania, King and Queen of the Fairies. What happens next is a mad romp through mistaken identity, love potions, confused actors (in a play within the actual play), and of course, marriage. The ninth season of the Southern California Shakespeare Festival presents an enchanting and very funny version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," debatably William Shakespeare's most humorous play. In the intimate theatre at Cal Poly Pomona, the cast performs on a sparse stage decorated with touches of ancient Greece -- Corinthian columns twined with ivy -and costuming that ranges from medieval European to Indian, a fun and colorful conglomeration of vests, shifts, saris, and of course, dramatic flowing capes. This production has also

done something else of note: it has given a loving tribute to the traditional performance of "Midsummer" and all other Shakespeare plays by turning the casting around. Shakespeare's company, back in Shakespeare's day, used to cast men in women's roles, so the SCSF has done the opposite by casting women as men--Oberon (Annie Dennis), Demetrius (Marissa Pitts) and Lysander (Tiana Parker)--and what a fun choice it is, informed by history and dedicated, in the SCSF's own words, to the equality of gender. This very funny and mostly-traditional play may be seen throughout the month of September, with an opening gala on 7-8th and performances running Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm, with one Friday show on September 27th (8:00pm) leading to closing weekend: Saturday September 28th at 8:00pm, and finally Sunday September 29th at 2:00pm. The performance is
held on Cal Poly Pomona's Campus,3801 W Temple Ave Pomona, CA 91768 in the Studio Theatre, Theatre Building 25-110. Tickets ($15 general admission; $12 for seniors, students, or faculty) are on sale online at http:// classcsupomona.tix.com or at the box office, which is open on Saturday performance nights from 5:30pm to 7:00pm and on Sunday matinees from 11:30am to 1:00pm. Call (909) 869-3800 for tickets by phone or more information. SCSF performs in the Studio Theatre which is an intimate space of 72 seats, so reservations should be made quickly. The SCSF's summer offering of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" includes three guest AEA actors, eleven student actors, two Alumni, two magical young fairies plus student designers, student management and crews. Directed by Guest Director, Sam Robinson.

Jacque Robinson throws hat into the ring to run for the California state Senate The election still might be almost three years away, but Pasadena City Council Member Jacque Robinson has already thrown her hat into the ring to run for the California state Senate seat in the Pasadena area that will be vacated that year. Robinson, who has been on the council since 2007, said that government often fails people and she would like to change that. “I believe California can do better,” Robinson said. “It can do better specifically for our senate district. A lot of people are critical of government. Government is supposed to be there to make lives easier, not more difficult. It doesn’t always work that way and I think that can be a result of the people who are in office.” Robinson said it is also important for politicians to be involved in their local areas. “I think it’s important for state legislators – and even our local council members – to share some of the same experiences that are going on in their communities, so when they get around to making some of these policies they have experience in what they are trying to solve,” she said.
By Shel Segal There are some large issues affecting the state currently that she’d like to delve into, she said. “There’s the large issues, like public education,” Robinson said. “How we’re going to fix that across the state? There’s always challenges with funding. Right now we’re seeing the effects of (releasing prisoners back into their communities). That’s mainly without funding. What are local cities doing to receive those individuals?” However, she added she doesn’t have all the answers in her back pocket. “I think the governor has done some good things, especially with local-control funding and making sure the schools with the highest needs are able to get more funding,” she said. “But I think school funding, in general, is a very complicated issue. I don’t have specifics right now. That’s the part of getting out into the senate district and hearing what they have to say.” One area she’d like to affect is changing Proposition 13, which was passed by voters in 1978 and deals with property taxes.

“(Business owners are) paying the same (tax rates) they were paying years back when the start of the ownership of their parcels started,” Robinson said. “The cost of living has increased for everybody. We’re all paying more taxes. But that hasn’t necessarily been the way with the commercial entity. I think we definitely have to have a conversation about that.” However, Robinson said she wants to make sure that government is always there as a safety net for those who need it. “We need to make sure that people who need help from social services – from the government – have it,” she said. (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@ beaconmedianews.com).
A new California Appellate case just published August 8, 2013, “Glaski v. Bank of America”, holds that a homeowner can challenge his lender’s right to foreclose by showing that the Deed of Trust never made it into the securitized trust until after the trust’s closing date. This is the case in most loans made in the last 12 years. If the bank foreclosed we should be able to get the homeowner money damages and/or the house back. Or a lawsuit could be filed and a court ruling obtained preventing the court from foreclosing. Recently enacted Sections 2924(a)(6) and 2924.19 of California Civil Code provide the same relief to homeowners. It is highly suggested that homeowners take this window of opportunity to get relief before the banks get Congress to close this door with national legislation. Contact us so we can help you.

Schools targeted by false threats Continued from page 1
A note on the District website said “Parents and guardians, thank you for your patience. All of our students and staff are safe. Students at both Duarte High and Northview will remain in their classrooms until the police give the all clear for the schools to dismiss students. In the meantime, staff is following all appropriate
Shelter in Place and Lock Down Procedures. Parents will receive a call from the district/schools notifying them of the proper dismissal procedures as soon as the police department issues the all clear. Thank you.” The schools went on lockdown at about 2 p.m. and according to one officer who heard
the 9-1-1 tapes, the caller was indeed the very same man who called yesterday warning of the Santa Fe Middle School incident, “ absolutely…the same individual,” the officer told Beacon Media. The school was officially unlocked at about 4:30 and students reunited with their families. No suspect was found.

"Screaming Eagles" reunion slated Sept. 14 in Monrovia VFW Post 2070 Since 1974 the 101st Airborne Division has been the United States Army's "Air Assault" Division. The Division is capable of lifting, by helicopter, a 4,000 soldier combined arms force up to 150 kilometers behind enemy lines in one lift. Having approximately 281 helicopters, including three battalions of Apache attack helicopters, makes the "Screaming Eagles" the most versatile fighting unit in the Army. It is the world's only air assault division. The 101st consists of three infantry brigades, Division Artillery, Division Support Command, the 101st Aviation Brigade, the 159th Aviation Brigade, the 101st Corps Support Group, and various other separate commands stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Although the Screaming Eagles won their fame and reputation during the Second World War, the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) can trace its lineage back to World War I. In the build up for the Great War, the 101st Division was originally activated on July 23, 1918. Without fanfare, the
Division was demobilized in December of 1918. In 1921 the 101st Infantry Division was reconstituted as a reserve unit with headquarters in Wisconsin. This is where the distinctive "eagle head patch" was acquired. The eagle's head represented "Old Abe," the famed eagle mascot of the Wisconsin Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. The Division remained in the reserves until needed for World War II. The Screaming Eagles were disbanded as a reserve unit and reactivated in the regular army as the 101st Airborne Division on August 15, 1942. The last mission of World War II for the Screaming Eagles was the taking of the German town of Berchtesgaden, Hitler's retreat in Bavaria. From March until August of 1945, the 101st Airborne served as occupation troops and took the surrender of German military units and prominent Nazi officials. In August of 1945 the Division moved to Auxerre, France to train for the invasion of Japan. The operation became unnec-
essary when Japan surrendered two weeks later. The 101st Airborne Division was deactivated on November 30, 1945 at Auxerre, France. During the early days of Vietnam, the Division made its transition from parachutes to helicopters as the method of insertion. In July of 1968, the Division changed its name to the 101st Air Cavalry Division. The next year, on August 29, 1969, the Division changed its name again to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Mobile), making it the Army's second air mobile division. In late 1971 and early 1972 the Screaming Eagles left Vietnam and returned to Fort Campbell. During almost seven years of action in Vietnam, the 101st Airborne participated in 15 campaigns. Most notable were Hamburger Hill in 1969 and Firebase Ripcord in 1970. These Veterans will be having a reunion on September 14 from 11:30 – 3PM at VFW Post 2070, 825 S. Magnolia in Monrovia.

POLICE BLOTTERS Arcadia PD
Sunday, September 1: Just after 2:35 a.m., an officer was patrolling the area of Live Oak Avenue and Sixth Avenue when he observed a male subject urinating on an electricity pole. The 22-yearold Asian male was cited and released in the field without incident. At approximately 5:45 p.m., an officer responded to the Arcadia Police Department front counter in regards to a theft report. After having dinner in the outdoor patio of Outback Steakhouse, 166 East Huntington Drive, the victim returned home without realizing she had left her purse at the table. The purse was not located and no one at the restaurant saw who took it. Monday, September 2: At about 11:21 a.m., an officer was dispatched to the area of El Dorado Street and Second Avenue in reference to a battery report.

The officer determined that the driver (female 32 years of age) was accompanied by her 3 year old son. The driver did not have any identification on her and was acting very agitated.

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.

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 is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by PABLO BARRETO A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY., dated 08/21/2007 and recorded 8/29/2007, as Instrument No. 20072014462, in Book N/A, Page N/A, of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, will sell on 10/16/2013 at 9:00AM, Doubletree Hotel Los Angeles-Norwalk, 13111 Sycamore Drive, Norwalk, CA 90650, Vineyard Ballroom at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 5336 1/2 ACACIA STREET, SAN GABRIEL, CA, 91776. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $815,799.24. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier’s checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 a 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 lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court,
pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 11-0128419. 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.
