Dorothy's Place Family tree or bush?

By Dorothy Denne What with all the new research methods, genealogy research has become very popular. As regular readers of Dorothy's Place know, I love nostalgia and reminiscing. So, I decided to draw a family tree. I gave up very early on. I couldn't figure where the devil to put the branches. For example, you see.... Mom's sister, my Aunt Jessie, had two daughters, Mabel and Dorothea. Mabel married Bob J. and they had a baby boy, Harold. Dorothea became engaged to my dad's younger brother, my Uncle Homer. Sadly, Mabel died of smallpox when Harold was only two days old. Shortly thereafter, Uncle Homer got

another woman pregnant or, as it was known in those days, he put her in the family way. His "honor" and her father mandated that he marry her, so he dumped Dorothea. This was a lucky break for Dorothea. She loved Harold dearly and Bob J. was really a pretty nice guy. So, Dorothea and Bob were married. It turned out to be a lasting, loving relationship. Lasting and loving but getting confusing. Her nephew was now her son and her brother-in-law was now her husband. Bob's sister, Ruth, had married Dorothea's brother, Olin, so Dorothea's brother was now Bob's brother-in-law and Bob's sister was now Dorothea's sister-in-law. Aunt Jessie's children, who would be my first cousins, were all so much

older than I that I thought they were aunts and uncles. Their children, who would be my second cousins, were of my generation so we all thought we were first cousins. My mom was their Aunt Mabel. Their grandma was my Aunt Jessie. Their Grandma J. was no relation to me but I didn't know that until it was too late to ever call her anything but Grandma. Confusing, huh? It could have been worse. If Dorothea, who I thought was my aunt but was really my cousin, had married Uncle Homer then she would have been my aunt for real, my second cousins would have been my first, her Aunt Mabel would also have been her sister-in-law and the whole damn family tree would have been cross rooted.

THE UUT The newspaper article prepared by the Sierra Madre City Attorney is stated to be an analysis of the UUT. In the first place the attorney is paid by the City and is neither complete or unbiased in what is stated. While the voters did vote for a 12% highest rate, the City Council has nhever charged more than 10%. The main reason the City says it needs more money from the UUT is because of the form of bookkeeping that City uses. The City's Current budget is more than twenty million dollars and will soon be close to twenty-five million based upon the increase of property taxes due to the large number of property sales and improvements in the recent past, and the addition of more improve-

ments currently underway. The City's bookkeeping sets out the two point four thousand dollars income from the UUT and then back charges all the expense items that the Police and Fire Dept. uses and then if that isn't enough they add in allocations of expense of anything that comes to mind. If my memory serves me, it seems to in that the UUT was to be supplemental to the income of the City and not carry the complete burden. The attorney mentions the Citizens Oversight Committee and their recommendations. She does not state that the last meeting of this committee was in 2008. She also does not mention the UUT Audit Committee which is just as

well, since this committee has no useful function as reported to the City Council after their meetings in 2013. The attorney does not mention that both of these committees are cancelled out by the City Council. This was to be de-emphasized according to the Council's instructions. There are many items of expense that are charged to the UUT income that could be argued if they should be there. The basic problem is on the spending side not on the income side. What should the people do? Should they vote yes or no? The last time the City put forth this kind of increase was in 2012 and the NO votes were by a whopping 61%. Let's vote the same way this time.

Pasadena Museum of California Art offers unique insight into political art Sunday, March 2, 2014 3:00pm Insight Talk Carol A. Wells, Founder and Executive Director of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics, and one of the curators for Serigrafía, will present "La Lucha Sigue—The Chicano Silkscreen in the Struggle for Justice," which covers over 40 years of Chicano posters and the diverse social issues they address. Free with admission 490 East Union Street Pasadena, CA. 91101 Serigrafía January 19–April 20, 2014 Serigrafía surveys the powerful tradition of infor-

mation design in California's Latino culture, featuring thirty influential silkscreens from the 1970s to the present. Beginning in the late 1960s, graphic art created at and distributed by artistled collectives, or centros, contributed significantly to the public discourse. Emerging in concert with the civil rights movement and demanding political and social justice for marginalized groups, these prints confront political, economic, social, and cultural issues on both a personal and a global level. Curated by seven design experts, the exhibition examines how both aesthetics and portability are key aspects of the prints as com-

municative and educational objects. Unlike work created for galleries or museums, the poster's primary function is to clearly give voice to a complex message in very different environments. Challenging the traditional notion of a "poster," the selected prints exemplify the impact of effective and moving communication through the printmaking process. Capturing momentous cultural and political events and experiences, the works in the exhibition explore subjects such as the United States embargo against Cuba and the Occupy Wall Street Movement, and are conceived to provoke, protest, and praise.

Ricardo Tapia trial transferred from criminal court to mental health court Wednesday last at the Van Nuys Courthouse, Judge Leslie Dunn suspended criminal proceedings against Ricardo Tapia and granted the motion of William M. Paparian to transfer the trial of his client from Department 120 (Criminal Court) to Department 95 (Mental Health Court). Dunn granted Paparian’s motion, over the objection of the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office, because Tapia cannot meaningfully assist in his own defense.

A U.S. Marine veteran who was deployed to Iraq three times in three years for active combat duty, Tapia suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury. He has been in L.A. County Jail on a murder charge since Dec. 20 without benefit of psychiatric help. On that date, after hearing a loud thump from an apartment above his, he believed he was suddenly in a combat situation again and allegedly

shot Giam Kim Hoang, 73, who died of his injuries, and Hoang Thi Nguyen, who was seriously injured. During a press conference Monday, Paparian said the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs failed to properly treat Tapia. On Wednesday, March 5, at 8:30 a.m. Paparian will represent Tapia in Department 95 at the Mental Health Courthouse at 1150 N. San Fernando Rd. in Los Angeles.

Floretta Lauber honored with Historic Preservation Award By Joan Schmidt

Many Arcadians know Floretta Lauber as the FIRST female Mayor of the City; others recognize her as the great “Social Editor” for the Beacon Media News Corporation. However, Floretta wears another hat-a local historian who wishes to preserve and share Arcadia’s great history! At the recent Arcadia City Council Meeting, Floretta was honored with the “Daughters of the American Revolution Historic Preservation Award.” Presenter was Santa Anita Chapter Regent, Mary Ann Williams. Mrs. Williams explained that the award was designed “to recognize worthy local individuals in all areas of historic preservation-buildings, landmarks, statues, cemeteries and memorials…The recipient is expected to contribute in an outstanding volunteer manner… Floretta Lauber has certainly fulfilled this obligation… her forward thinking, fundraising skills, and tireless energy have made the Gilb Historical Museum Education Center a reality… a hall for visiting speakers, classrooms for children’s field trips and arts and crafts…a multitude of education opportunities.” City Clerk Gene Glasco, also President of the Arcadia Historical Society presented Floretta with a beautiful plant in recognition of her “Daughters of the American Revolution Historic Preservation Award.” Not long ago, ground

was broken for this Museum Education Center. This project was Floretta’s dream, and she has worked tirelessly to bring it to fruition. Residents of Arcadia should be proud of their first female Mayor and grateful for her vision of an Education Center at the Gilb Historical Museum. At the Arcadia City Council Meeting, there also was a Presentation of gift certificates to City Staff from the Arcadia Chinese Association in appreciation of service. I would also like to “put in a plug” for this wonderful group. They made a much-needed donation to the friends of the Live Oak Library-the small library in the county area. During my twenty-five years of teaching I always used the Live Oak Library! Thank you to the Arcadia Chinese Association! Other business at the Meeting included discus-

sion on a Conditional Use permit, # CUP 13-12 for an existing religious facility and the use of a 2400 square tent for outdoor activities at 2607 Santa Anita Avenue. This building is the Arcadia Congregational Church, and the “tent” is actually a “pavilion” with chandeliers. A resident whose home backs to the pavilion spoke of the unbearable noise when there are functions. The Pastor then spoke; a decibel meter has been placed to monitor the noise and she promised to “pull the plug” if the DJ/ Live Band does not abide by the limits. I followed the concerned resident and Pastor out of the meeting. They were friendly and cordial to each other. It was gratifying to see two adults work out a problem in such a matter. Arcadia certainly joins Monrovia and Duarte as “My Kind of City”.

YWCA Pasadena to host photo exhibit featuring women of the Civil Rights Movement The YWCA PasadenaFoothill Valley will be hosting a photo exhibit and reception celebrating the women of the Civil Rights movement, entitled "Visions of the Past, Inspiration for the Future." Photographs of known and unknown heroines of the Civil Rights Era will be displayed in an exhibit on February 28th at the YWCA facility in Pasadena. This exhibit features the work of veteran Southern photojournalist, Boyd Lewis, and highlights the courageous women and allies in the cause for racial equality.

"And we ignore their heroic and often dangerous fight for human rights for all at their

peril." The photographs celebrate well-known women such as Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King, and lesser known freedom fighters like Lillian Lewis and Ethel Matthews. There are over 45 black and white documentary photographs to be shown at the exhibit - most of the photos have never been published. If you would like to hear more stories about the women of the civil rights movement, please join us at the YWCA Pasadena's photo exhibit and reception on Friday, February 28th, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, located at 1015 N.

Medal of Honor recipient visits Arcadia High School

Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta speaks to AHS students last week. -Photo by Terry Miller

The first living person to receive the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War spoke to nearly one thousand students and teachers at Arcadia High School on Thursday. Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta was recognized with America’s highest military honor, awarded for personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty, for his heroic actions in Afghanistan after advancing into enemy fire while under attack from the Taliban, and rescuing one of his fellow sergeants who was shot and being dragged away by two enemy soldiers. “The medal represents the bravest men and women that I’ve ever met in my entire life, and people that have given their lives so

I can be born free,” Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta told the audience inside the Arcadia Performing Arts Center. Staff Sergeant Giunta, who has also been awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star, talked with students and staff at Arcadia High School as a part of the Medal of Honor Character Development Program in partnership with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. Staff Sergeant Giunta shared his powerful story as part of “Lessons of Personal Bravery and Self-Sacrifice.” He talked about the concepts of courage, commitment, sacrifice, patriotism, integrity, and citizenship. He also advised

the students to not be afraid to fail, take advantage of the amazing opportunities life will provide, and he stressed the importance of selfless leadership. “Staff Sergeant Sal Giunta's talk was a powerful and inspirational detailing of his personal bravery and self-sacrifice,” said Kay Kinsler, who serves on the Arcadia Unified Board of Education. “It was a fabulous lesson and opportunity for our students to see and meet a true hero in this day and age.” There are only 76 living recipients of the Medal of Honor. Staff Sergeant Giunta received a phone call from President Obama notifying him that he was selected for the prestigious honor.

Chelsea Kang-Smith gets vote of no confidence from former Temple City school board member By Terry Miller We asked Joe Walker, former School Board member why the community so strongly objects to Superintendent Kang-Smith? “In her time in TC, she has consistently acted completely contrary to what is good for the students or staff of the district. Once she makes up her mind, she refuses to change her mind despite overwhelming opposition from the community and even the board. Time and again the board has directed her to take actions that she refused to implement, complaining that she was being micro-managed.” Walker continued: “People that disagree with her are harassed, investigated, and ultimately run out of the community. She put on the agenda an item to lay off every administrator several years ago, (and then denied that she supported it) and most recently put on the agenda an item to allow the district to legally demand board members Facebook personal account information. She has directed district administrators to and report on board member activities and family members, and used legal resources to harass and intimidate people who disagree with her.” We asked Walker if Kang-Smith is really out of touch, as many have said? “100%. She has rallied a few group of PTA Council members to come speak before the board on her behalf, claiming that she is responsible for the bond passing in 2012. In reality, the bond

“Taste of La Salle” - March 22 The La Salle High School Alumni Association is hosting the return of the “Taste of La Salle,”a food and beverage tasting event on campus on Saturday, March 22 from 6:30pm-9:00pm.

The “Taste of La Salle” will feature over 30 food, beer and wine vendors offering a taste of their signature item including well-established favorites like Altadena Town & Country Club, El Cholo, San Antonio Winery, Slater’s

50/50 and Stone Brewing Company. Local favorites Domenico’s, El Portal, Jones Coffee Roaster, The Original Tops and Sugar Fix and new establishments like Trattoria Neapolis, Toro Sushi Bar Lounge, Angel City Brewery, and Confexion Cupcakes + Cakes will delight the palate, to name a few. An Opportunity Drawing will also take place for the chance to win fabulous prizes including a cooking class and private dinner for two, a “stock your bar” package,

would have done much better if she had not been the one promoting it, and the employee unions stayed out of the campaign because they saw her hand in it. Who could be in the running for interim superintendent? “Any administrator in the district would do a better job than her. What they need is someone who loves Temple City, (unlike her, who has disparaged the community for years) and who has an interest in involving all stakeholders in the process.” What are the key objections that resonate with you as far as her leadership, or lack thereof? “Pretty much stated above. She has known since November, 2013, that her contract is not being renewed and instead of leaving quietly and lowering the tensions over her departure, she has divided the district, pitting community members

who only know one side of her against teachers and staff who are also community members but who have a much deeper and long range series of experiences with her. She will be gone soon, but all the hurt feelings that she generated will remain much longer.” Joe Walker was on the school board from 20052013. “It was a great experience. When I saw that two excellent, smart, and proactive guys were running I backed out, allowing them to take office without an election, saving the district almost $100,000 which by law a district has to spend for an election. I am very glad to see that we have a real professional board, with no rubber stamps for the Supe and no one on their own personal power trips or agendas. I see great things ahead for TCUSD,” Walker told Temple City Tribune Wednesday afternoon.

In The Pasadena Playhouse’s production of A Song At Twilight, celebrated author Hugo Latymer has reached the autumn of his days with everything a man could wish for: wealth, success, fantastic friends and a life filled with laughter, luxury and travel. A profound fear of intimacy and public scandal, however, kept him from embracing the one true love in his life, and now he wonders if he would trade the success for a chance to do it all

again. Following the 2012-13 season’s smash-hit production of Noël Coward’s comedy Fallen Angels, Art Manke returns to the Playhouse to direct Coward’s rarely produced and final play of his illustrious career.

Sierra Madre WEEKLY

Popular Wistaria Festival slated for March 16 in Sierra Madre The Sierra Madre Chamber of Commerce has announced the Wistaria Festival will take place on Sunday, March 16. The festival first began in the early 20th century, drawing as many as 100,000 over an extended period of time. Now the vine, which is on private property, is available to the public for viewing only one day a year, this year on the 16th. The Guinness Book of World Records has certified the vine as the world’s largest blossoming plant, and estimates that at its peak, the vine had as many as 1.5 million blooms, weighed 250 tons, and covered more than an acre of ground. The vine is so large that it encompasses the better part of two properties. At one point the vine, which was originally planted in 1894, actually destroyed a structure on one of the properties, which crumbled under its weight. In addition to the vine viewing, downtown Sierra Madre is transformed into an arts and craft fair for the day, with more than 100 artisans and crafters displaying their work at booths on the town’s two main streets. Local shops and restaurants will be serving the delightful cuisine Sierra Madre has become known for. Since the surge in popularity of outdoor dining in the 1990s, Sierra Madre a reputation throughout the Los Angeles area as a great place to dine al fresco with a spectacular view of the San Gabriel mountains just

to the north. There’s something for every taste, with a variety of international flavors at the local eateries, Mexican, Italian, Thai, and California Continental cuisines. A dozen musical acts will be performing at five outdoor venues that ranges from solo acoustic guitar and vocals, to blues rock, country rock and more. The downtown festival is free to all who attend. Viewing of the vine is also free of charge, but due to the steep uphill climb to the private properties and limited parking in the vicinity of the vine, it is recommended that visitors enjoy

a ride in the shuttle buses provided for their comfort. Tickets for the shuttle are $12 round-trip when purchased in advance, and $15 the day of the event. Seniors over 65 and children 6- 12 are $7. Because the vine is on private property, it is not ADA compliant. Due to the hilly terrain, the site will not accommodate wheelchairs, strollers or people with limited mobility. Shuttle tickets can be purchased online and printed on your home computer up to and including the day of the event. Visit www.WistariaTickets.com to purchase your tickets.

Fire leads Arcadia PD to 2,489 marijuana plants

Suspects stole $20,000 in power from Edison for elaborate operation Arcadia police officers, along with Arcadia Fire Department personnel, responded to the scene fire Monday morning and located a small roof fire caused by wires in the 2400 block of Louise Avenue. In an attempt to locate persons inside the residence and get them to safety, officers made entry into the house and observed numerous marijuana plants in different stages of cultivation. Nobody was located inside the house.

Once the fire was extinguished and the location was rendered safe, officers remained on-scene and contacted members of the Detective Bureau for further investigation. Detectives searched the residence and recovered 2,489 live marijuana plants along with sophisticated growing equipment used for the cultivation of the crops. A representative from Southern California Edison was at the location and estimated $16,000.00 to $20,000.00 in

energy consumption had been stolen during the time of this operation. Currently there is nobody in custody for this crime. The investigation is being conducted by Arcadia Police Department Officers and Detectives. Anyone with information is asked to call the Arcadia Police Department at (626) 574-5150. You can also submit crime tips and information via text, phone, or web to LA Regional Crime Stoppers, (800) 222-TIPS (8477).

The meeting also featured a report on the Center’s achievements last year. The organization provided a total of 61,806 client services in 2013, including 35,190 food services, 4,749 bag lunches/meals to homeless individuals, and hundreds of support and referral services. Health Services included over 400 dental and vision screenings for children and a Mobile Dental Clinic for 96 children (2,294 procedures).

More details will be updated periodically on The Flea Market blog at http://wonderdogfleamarket. wordpress.com/. “We are family-owned and community oriented, so having a community event like this at Wonder Dog Ranch is totally in keeping with our philosophy,” said Ernie Dods, CBO of Wonder Dog Ranch; “and since we don’t ever allow fleas inside our dog day care and boarding facility, we’re thrilled to have this event in our parking lot.” However, Mr. Dods would allow an operating Flea Circus which he is hoping to find for future events. As this is a “not for dogs only” event, look for lots of great things to buy as well as information about our community, but we’ll be sure to have some good pet information too: you’ll be able to learn about planning for emergencies for your pets; get information from Monrovia’s new animal control service, Pasadena Humane Society; kids can be kept

busy reading books to dogs as periodically there will be Therapy Dogs inside the Ranch in the Dog’s Life Living Room just waiting for children to read from a collection of books from Ernie’s Little Library - a Monrovia Reads Little Free Library located on the sidewalk at Wonder Dog Ranch; and there’ll even be special treats as Wonder Dog Ranch celebrates “Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day” an event internationally celebrated on this Sunday. Customers are welcome to bring dogs, but please be sure to have all pooches under strict control on a short leash. Dogs will not be allowed inside Wonder Dog Ranch unless they are already enrolled like our regular customers who may be inside, but tours for their people will be offered periodically throughout the day. A portion of the proceeds of this event will benefit the Foothill Unity Center Pet Food Bank.

Monrovia High School Robotics Team wins highest honor at Los Angeles Regional Tournament Five young women from Monrovia High School and their rhinestone-encrusted robot won the Inspire Award, the highest honor given at the Los Angeles FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) Regional Championship Tournament held at Monrovia this past Saturday. Along with six other teams from cities ranging from Santa Barbara to San Diego, they advance to compete with top teams from eleven western states, Alaska and Hawaii in McClellan, CA, near Sacramento on March 20-22, 2014 at the West Super-Regional FTC Championship. These five junior class women – the “Kings and Queens” team – designed and built their own 18 by 18 inch robot from Tetrix parts, plexiglass, and machined aluminum to compete with alliances of robots on a 12 by 12 foot field. They stand out not just for their driving, design prowess, and their robot’s ability to raise a flag and pull itself up on a bar.

major regional companies chose the team from among a field of the top 48 FTC robotics teams from throughout Southern California as the "role-model" team for their on-field success, teamwork, inspiration to others, representation of the First Robotics program to their school and community, and embodiment of "Gracious Professionalism," the core value of the FIRST program. This win is the first Regional champion from Monrovia High School in its four-year-old FTC robotics program, supported by company sponsors and members of the community and led by physics teacher Tom Dobson. Monrovia High School advanced four teams to the Los Angeles Regional Championship, which drew winners from eight qualifier competitions

from Los Angeles out to the High Desert. This high school FTC after-school program is one of many opportunities supporting STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and math) in conjunction with Monrovia’s Math and Science Academy. A second of Monrovia High's four FTC Robotics teams, "Team R.E.D.,” won an alternate spot for the SuperRegional tournament. Winning teams in the West Super-Regional Competition will advance to the international championships in St. Louis, MO on April 23-26, 2014.

The workshop will take place on March 9, 2014 at All Saints Church in Sweetland Hall, located at 132 N Euclid Ave, starting at 2:30 pm until 4:30 p.m. Although more than 2 million people have enrolled in Health Insurance, over 10.2 million Hispanics in the country could benefit from the policies of Af-

fordable Care Act, according to the Department of Health and Human Services “HHS”. It is important that the community take the opportunity to have the information in Spanish about the different costs and options as well as the important benefits of coverage for preventive checkups and to clarify doubts and questions in their own language.

Temple City’s state of the city address - March 4 Mayor Cynthia Sternquist will deliver the annual State of the City address to update residents on the City’s accomplishments and future plans, March 4, 7 p.m., in Council Chambers (5938 Kauffman Ave.). Sternquist will cover a wide range of topics, from updates on the Strategic and General Plans, the soon to be completed Rosemead Boulevard Project and the City’s newly adopted Priority-Based

Budgeting system; to discussions on citizen engagement, Las Tunas Drive revitalization and technological enhancements to improve public communications. “Over the past year we’ve asked residents at various public meetings for their input on how we can bring Temple City to the next level,” comments Sternquist. “Twelve months later we can proudly say we put their dreams into action, and built

a sustainable infrastructure on which we can continue to support new business and investment. You’ll be surprised at just how much we accomplished.” Following the State of the City will be the regularly scheduled City Council meeting. Both events will stream live at www.templecity.kgem.tv. The original broadcast will play on Charter Channel 3 during the week of March 9.

Dr. James Lin King of Methodist Hospital’s Mardi Gras 2014

Photo by Terry Miller

Former Methodist Hospital Chief of Staff James Y. Lin, MD, will be honored at the 19th Annual Mardi Gras 6-10 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, at Sirona’s, Santa Anita Park. Recognized for his longtime support of Methodist Hospital and the outstanding clinical care he has provided to thousands of patients, Dr. Lin will reign as king over the event, with proceeds going to support the hospital's highly success-

ful cancer program. "I feel extremely honored, considering all the fine people who have served as king before me," Dr. Lin said of the honor. "I want to continue helping the foundation raise funds for the cancer program, which is one of the clinical areas the hospital strives diligently to expand and strengthen. It's a great thrill to be honored by an event I have supported for many, many years." For information on

how you can help support your community through a table sponsorship and/ or ticket purchase for this worthy cause, please contact the event organizers at Methodist Hospital Foundation, 626-898-8888 or mardigras@methodisthospital.org. For the second time in a row, event co-chairs are Sherry Wang, a Methodist Hospital Foundation board member and twotime chair; longtime hospital supporter Patty Soldo, who also chaired for the second time; and four-time chair/co-chair Lindburgh McPherson. Through the years Dr. Lin has served as chief of staff at Methodist Hospital in 2013 and chair of the Medicine Department in 2006. He also has served on the hospital foundation board since 2006 and cochaired the physician capital campaign that raised an estimated $2 million in support of the North Tower. He has served on several foundation committees, including the Crystal Ball, Mardi Gras and Asian

Outreach committees. The Lin family has graciously supported the hospital and Mardi Gras for years. The 80z All Stars, a California 1980s tribute band, will provide lively music for dancing and entertainment. Other fun activities will include a Mardi Gras parade, silent auction, dancing and mouth-watering food prepared by more than 30 of the area's most successful restaurants. Dr. Lin hopes this year's event will provide a huge boost to the hospital's growing cancer program. "We've always had a strong cancer program, and the community definitely wants it to remain an integral part of the hospital's litany of services," Dr. Lin said. "It's important that we remain competitive and on the cutting edge, and Mardi Gras helps us do just that." Tickets are $100 each.

California and Peru sign agreement to strengthen economic, environmental ties Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. and Ambassador of Peru to the United States Harold Forsyth Wednesday signed an agreement to strengthen cultural, economic and academic ties and tackle shared challenges, including climate change. “Today, California and Peru have pledged to work together on issues of mutual concern, including trade, science and initiatives to combat climate change,” said Governor Brown. "This is a historic step in the dynamic and prosperous bilateral relationship between Peru and the state of California — one of the strongest markets in the world,” Ambassador Forsyth said. “The agreement is a model of cooperation, trade liberalization and investment promotion between the North and South. The peoples of California and Peru will be the direct beneficiaries and that will help create stronger bridges between our countries.”

The memorandum of understanding signed today builds on months of collaboration between Peru and California, including a meeting last August where the Governor shared the consensus statement on climate change with Ambassador Forsyth. This document translates key scientific findings from disparate fields into one unified message for policymakers, industry and the general public. Through today’s agreement, Peru and California have committed to exchanging “experts and joint projects in climate change mitigation and adaptation policies, air quality, forest management, water quality and water management” and promoting the public and private use of clean technologies. Additionally, the two parties agreed to cooperate on food safety, fishery management and agricultural sustainability and collaborate on educational and cultural exchanges and promote trade and tourism.

report. At stake is KangSmith’s future with the district where she has held the top job since August 2008, while also being granted three one-year contract extensions, according to the report. In addition, the board has appeared to be divided with its satisfaction over Kang-Smith’s performance. Each vote giving her the extensions were ratified with just a threemember majority, according to the report. The board voted back in November not to renew Kang-Smith’s contract, according to the report. However, the board could decide to terminate her job immediately. If this happens, the district will have to pay Kang-Smith until the end of her contract or until she finds employment elsewhere. That means the district could pay more than $58,300, an amount that doesn’t include health and welfare benefits that will continue until June 30, according to the report. Kang-Smith has report-

edly been no friend of the teacher’s union in Temple City, with union President Deb Maurey recently going on the record, saying the board needs to end its relationship with the superintendent immediately, according to the report. And while the district will have to pay KangSmith through the remainder of her contract, Robin Penn, president of the district’s classified employees union, has recently gone on the record, saying the money paid to the superintendent will be a boon to the district in the grand scheme of things, according to the report. But Penn also said there are some parents who have been supportive of Kang-Smith and have gone to some meetings to put the good word in for her. Many of those parents said they liked working with the superintendent and enjoyed helping her get a $129 million bond issue passed, according to the report. (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com).

Temple City social media rife with comments about Kang-Smith’s poor performance as Superintendent Social networks and blogs have been exploding with negative comments against the TUSD Superintendent, Kang-Smith: Here is one example of what the community is feeling: “ I heard all about the defense team that showed up to speak at the last meeting and you know what? I'm tired of people who have no knowledge (and going to school and having kids does NOT make one an expert) of how this works on a daily basis. It doesn't. And, THIS was a superintendent who knew nothing about Temple City and repeatedly told all staffs, on the first meeting days, that she didn't want to be here and had to be begged to come. This is also a person who had little experience and was hired as part of a vendetta. GREAT reasons to hire someone and excellent references of experience. It is so far beyond disagreeing with someone and it frightens me that community members think whatever good has

come along in TCUSD is a result of the leadership. Good leaders inspire people, treat them with respect and are willing to consider all points of view as possibilities for growth. Good leaders do not let those in their direct supervision go unchecked. Good leaders have people who would do anything for them because they have developed positive, trusting relationships and desire to work in tandem to devise plans that are in the best interest of all stakeholders. That did not happen from the beginning and has not come about in all this time. Many district employees have had their dignity stripped multiple times in public and private criticisms-to the point of abuse. They did not cry foul to the community at large and ask people to speak to the superintendent to reverse the 'talking to'-at which point it would be simply explained away as misunderstanding anyway because there were no witnesses. We are in need of someone who cares about the

students and staff more than press and who realizes that the good press will come with positive, collaborative, innovative approaches to learning and development of the whole child. We need someone with classroom experience as well as management experience and we need someone who has actual knowledge of the learning process and child development. We need someone who will follow the protocol they themselves establish

and we need someone who answers the same question the same way regardless of audience. We need someone who has a vision- one that extends beyond test scores-and has a plan to realize that vision; a plan that encourages all involved to participate and share in both process and success. Where is TCUSD going? I've been wondering for a long time.” -Kirsten Shore

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.

Not currently screening for Sleep Apnea?

If you are not currently screening your patients for sleep apnea and would like to learn more about how we can help you, please call.

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.

New no-cut, no-sew technique will bring your gum line to its normal position in one short appointment. No gum grafting. Quick healing. Dr. John Chao has announced a groundbreaking patented procedure based on a knife-less, stitch-free and relatively pain-free method for repairing receding gums, called the Pinhole Surgical Technique® (PST®). Since there is no cutting or stitching, patients can expect virtually no pain and practically instant cosmetic improvement with almost no sign anything has been done. PST is a dramatic improvement to the standard, more invasive and painful graft method which requires grafted gum from the roof of the mouth to the

teeth. PST is considered by many experts to be a grounding-breaking discovery in the field of dentistry. Dr. Chao was recently granted a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Concurrently, a 33-month study undertaken by Dr. Chao has been published by The International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, a high-impact, peer-review journal that has long-established international acclaim.

Regional Connector Continued from page 1

the first of its kind to be awarded to the county in nearly two decades and will be added to a number of other funding sources – including Measure R - to provide the full funding needed to build this very complicated and important project.” “This news is especially significant to the Gold Line

and Foothill Gold Line, because the Regional Connector directly benefits our system. Once completed, the Regional Connector will link the Gold Line with the Blue Line systems, and provide seamless trips between Azusa and Long Beach. Additionally, the Construction Authority estimates

that ridership on the Gold Line system will increase by 10% once the Regional Connector is operational. That is of course in addition to the tens of thousands of new rides to be initiated once the Foothill Gold Line to Azusa goes on-line, following construction completion in September 2015.”

$30,000 mini grants awarded to AUSD teachers Several dozen teachers in the Arcadia Unified School District were recently awarded $30,000 in mini grants by the Arcadia Educational Foundation to fund a variety of educational needs, the foundation said. The mini grants were awarded to 46 different teachers, who represented all 10 schools in the district. A wide variety of grants were funded, including a social rules game for first grade, frogs for fifth grade dissection, a camera and microphone for middle school journalism, books for English language development, spectrophotometers for chemistry, canvases for high school advanced art and recorders for French, the foundation said. Sheldon Wright, cochairperson of the foundation’s mini grant committee, said he really enjoys giving away the money. “I get a particular degree of satisfaction in the work that is done with mini grants,” Wright said. It is community money put in the classroom where parents

By SHEL SEGAL want it, enriching the learning along the way in a way that the district cannot necessarily do. The mini grant committee is a wonderful collaboration of volunteers who come together to support the one thing we all value most: our kid’s education.” Wright added the funds go right back to help students. “We put the money donated by the community directly back into the classrooms for our teachers to use to elevate the learning experience for our kids,” he said. Leslie O’Dell, foundation’s director of administrator, said while each award was approximately $1,000, teachers could team up by grade or by curriculum instead of apply alone to get the mini grant. She added the most popular item asked for was a Google Chrome Book, as these will be needed on the upcoming standardized tests. O’Dell said the mini grants come from mostly

private donations. “It’s funded through family or community donors who give back to (the foundation),” O’Dell said. “That money is pulled and each year we give out around $30,000.” She added it’s great when a teacher actually receives the money. “It’s very, very exciting because it’s dollars coming from the community going straight to the individual teacher. They’re helping with specific needs that teachers are saying what they need. The district isn’t deciding how this money is spent. The state isn’t deciding. The foundation isn’t deciding. It’s the teachers coming to us and letting us know what they’re personal needs are. It’s putting the community dollars straight back into the classroom. O’Dell said she is hoping the foundation is able to give away $60,000 next year. (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com).

Hernández introduces bill recognizing Native American Day as State Holiday Assemblymember Roger Hernández (D – West Covina) announced Thursday the introduction of Assembly Bill 1973. AB 1973 elevates the recognition of Native American Day from a proclamation to an official state holiday, recognized annually on the fourth Friday of September. “California has a strong rich history, which includes the many contributions of Native Americans. This measure recognizes the significant role of California’s native peoples by establishing an of-

ficial, unpaid state holiday,” stated Hernández. In 1968, California recognized the contributions of Native Americans by establishing American Indian Day. In 1998, the California Legislature passed AB 1953, which changed the name to Native American Day, authorizing public schools to incorporate in school curriculum the contributions of our Native American community. With the passage of this bill, Native American Day will hold the same status as Lincoln’s Birthday and Columbus Day

as an unpaid holiday. Currently, the cities of Berkeley, Nevada City, Santa Cruz, and Sebastopol observe Indigenous People Day, to recognize the cultural contributions of Native Americans. “It gives me great pleasure to introduce a measure that pays tribute to the Native American community of California. The contributions of the Native American people, which is taught in our schools, demonstrates our rich history and adds to the diverse ethnic fabric of our great state,” said Hernández.

The season of Lent lasts 46 days Join Your Neighbors at Sierra Madre’s Village Church of the Ascension for Lent. The season of Lent lasts approximately 46 days, including Sundays, between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. Since its founding in 1885, Ascension and other

churches in the Sierra Madre community have gathered to observe the weeks prior to Easter as a special time for prayer and meditation about their Christian discipleship. Lent officially starts with Ash Wednesday, a day of penitence and reflection. At

Ascension, Ash Wednesday Mass and Imposition of Ashes will be held on March 5, 2014 at 7:00 am, Noon, and 6:00 pm. All are welcome. For more information, please call (626) 355-1133 or visit: www.ascension-sierramadre.com.

the the weekend. The second is likely to be the stronger and wetter of the two systems, bringing a much-needed soaking to many communities (with the deserts being the exception). If the first storm bypasses or only grazes Southern California, the second will not. It is possible that Downtown Los Angeles receives at least half of the rain that fell in all of 2013 (3.60 inch-

es) from this one storm Fridaythrough next weekend. Several inches of rain could soak the northern California coast, while feet of snow may blanket the Sierra. Snow levels could drop low enough to whiten the mountains of Southern California. The upcoming rain and mountain snow will definitely be welcome to a state where the percent-

age area of places enduring an extreme to exceptional drought was 68 percent on Feb. 18, the U.S. Drought Monitor stated in its latest report. The number was nearly 61 percent the week prior. California's Department of Water Resources states that the amount of water stored in the snowpack across the Sierra was only 25 percent of normal on Friday.

I didn’t believe my doctor when he said…

“Nothing More Can Be Done” 83 year old Steven Selway of Mission Viejo, CA, a retired manager of a decorating center for home builders, received bad news about his faltering eyesight. He was suffering from Macular Degeneration, and his doctor said there was no treatment or cure. The thought of not being able to read or watch TV was very upsetting. Then Dr. Richard J. Shuldiner of Low Vision Optometry of Southern California provided the solution. After a brief initial telephone interview, Steven Selway made an appointment. After a complete LOW VISION EXAM, Dr. Shuldiner fitted him with custom-designed FULL DIAMETER TELESCOPE lenses for reading and watching TV, and a pair of E-SCOOP glasses for improved general vision. “Now I can watch TV and read the newspaper, and I can recognize faces. It’s wonderful.”

Mardi Gras 2014 will showcase nearly three dozen top local vendors Now that the Olympics are over, how will we fill our evenings? Well, several hundred locals plan to avoid “Olympic withdrawal” by attending Methodist Hospital’s 19th annual Mardi Gras next Tuesday, March 4, at Sirona’s in the beautiful Santa Anita Park. Attracting hundreds of revelers and dozens of restaurants every year, Mardi Gras will begin at 6 p.m. and last until 10 p.m. One of Methodist Hospital's highest profile and most successful fundraising events, the annual "beads and boas" celebration is expected to be one of the most successful ever, with mouthwatering food prepared by more than 30 of the area's most successful eateries and vendors. Among these are Benihana, Celestino's Ristorante & Bar, Hai Di Lao Hotpot, Green Street Restaurant, La Luna Negra, Matt Denny’s, Sena on Myrtle and Toro Sushi and Bar, just to name a few. The 80z All Stars, a California 1980s tribute band, will once again provide lively music for dancing and entertainment. The annual Mardi Gras parade will get the celebration go-

ing, with activities such as a silent auction and dancing also on the agenda. For more information on supporting this worthy cause or to buy tickets, please contact the Methodist Hospital Foundation, 626-898-8888 ormardigras@methodisthospital.org. For the second time in a row, event co-chairs are Sherry Wang, a Methodist Hospital Foundation board member and two-time chair; longtime hospital supporter Patty Soldo, who also chaired for the second time; and four-time chair/co-chair Lindburgh McPherson. Former Methodist Hospital Chief of Staff James Y. Lin, MD, will reign as King of Mardi Gras, recognized for his longtime support of Methodist Hospital and the outstanding clinical care he has provided to thousands of patients. Proceeds will go to support the hospital's highly successful cancer program. "I feel extremely honored, considering all the fine people who have served as king before me," Dr. Lin said of the honor. "I want to continue helping the foundation raise funds for the cancer program, which is one of the clinical areas the

hospital strives diligently to expand and strengthen. It's a great thrill to be honored by an event I have supported for many, many years." Over the years the celebration has seen many changes. Once a formal event, it has changed course to become more casual. The Mardi Gras parade began in 2010 featuring the Arcadia High School Pep Band. A live band now performs each year. "Mardi Gras grew from a friend-making event to a fund-raising event," Wang said. "It has become a tradition in our community, one that is well known to many households." Dr. Lin hopes this year's event will provide a huge boost to the hospital's growing cancer program. "We've always had a strong cancer program, and the community definitely wants it to remain an integral part of the hospital's litany of services," Dr. Lin said. "It's important that we remain competitive and on the cutting edge, and Mardi Gras helps us do just that." Tickets are $100 each. To reserve yours, contact the foundation at 626-8988888 or mardigras@methodisthospital.org.

himself in some hot water with board members – including President Renatta Cooper – when he didn’t tell the board he had talked to Ramon Miramontes – a former board member – about having Miramontes work as a consultant for the district, according to the report. Gundry defended himself by saying he did not have to let the board know about his conversation with Miramontes as he has the authority to ap-

prove consulting contracts under $65,000 without the board’s approval. Miramontes left the board in May and three months later submitted a $54,000 contract for consulting to Gundry for his company Zocalo Strategic Group. Gundry never signed the contract, according to the report. Cooper has also recently been at odds with Board Member Scott Phelps as Phelps has accused Cooper of trying to

get rid of Gundry by “putting discussions of Gundry’s yearly evaluation on the board’s closed session agenda at its Jan. 30 meeting after she learned Miramontes was a consultant for the district,” according to the published report. District Spokesman Adam Wolfson did not return calls to Beacon Media Inc. on Tuesday for further comment or clarification. (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com).

NASA responds to California's evolving drought

The severity of California's current drought is illustrated in these images of Folsom Lake, a reservoir in Northern California located 25 miles (40 kilometers) northeast of Sacramento. Credit: California Department of Water Resources

NASA is partnering with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) to develop and apply new technology and products to better manage and monitor the state's water resources and respond to its ongoing drought. In January, Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. declared a drought state of emergency and directed state officials to take all necessary actions to prepare for water shortages as 2014 shapes up to be one of the driest years on record in California. NASA and DWR began exploring opportunities to apply remote sensing data and research to the process of water resource management through a partnership established with funding from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Ongoing collaborations include monitoring California delta levees; mapping fallowed agricultural lands; and improving estimates of precipitation, water stored in winter snowpack, and changes in groundwater resources. The agencies also are working to combine data from NASA satellites and DWR's network of agricultural weather stations to improve estimates of crop water requirements for California farmers seeking to better manage irrigation. In April, NASA and DWR will resume flights of NASA's Airborne Snow Observatory to map the snowpack of the Tuolumne River Basin in the Sierra Nevada and the Uncompahgre watershed in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The Tuolumne watershed is the primary water supply for 2.6 million San Francisco Bay Area residents. The airborne observatory measures how much water is in the snowpack and how much sunlight the snow absorbs, which affects how fast the snow melts. These data enable accurate estimates of how much water will flow out of a basin when the snow melts. Last year, observatory data helped water managers optimize reservoir filling and more efficiently allocate water between power generation,

water supplies and ecological uses. Faced with an inability to fully irrigate their crops due to drought, Central Valley farmers often must prioritize use of limited available water supplies to sustain perennial crops. Taking land out of production reduces farm income and agricultural sales and increases unemployment. Timely and accurate knowledge of the extent of fallowing can give decision makers vital insights into the severity of drought impacts and provide a basis for sound drought response decisions. Another NASA project mapped areas of subsidence, or ground sinking, in the San Joaquin Valley from 2007 to 2011 caused by decreased groundwater levels. Groundwater is increasingly important in water resource management, yet knowledge of groundwater levels is not uniformly available. Satellitebased and airborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar can monitor groundwater levels by measuring surface deformation due to the withdrawal and recharge of aquifers. Satellite radar maps produced to date reveal significant areas of subsidence. NASA produced regional maps of the rate and total amount of subsidence, along with animations and detailed histories of individual locations that can help researchers deduce yearto-year changes in groundwater storage. Researchers hope to extend the data to the present day to give state water managers updates on how subsidence has progressed during the drought and detect possible new areas of concern. The data can be used to focus on problem areas where too much water is being pumped. The maps also help managers of infrastructure that can be affected by subsidence, such as aqueducts, flood-control channels and the California HighSpeed Rail Authority. NASA is teaming with DWR, University of California at San Diego and others to conduct airborne campaigns, satellite studies and analyses

of weather and climate models to enhance understanding and improve forecasts of atmospheric rivers. These narrow, low-altitude, elongated corridors of water vapor account for most major flooding events, provide about 40 percent of California's freshwater, and often are "drought busters." They help scientists understand and predict the global water cycle and its regional extremes. \SS-RapidScat, scheduled to launch to the International Space Station (ISS) in June, will extend the data record of ocean winds around the globe. The data are a key factor in climate research, weather and marine forecasting and tracking of storms and hurricanes. The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP), launching in November, will inform water resource management decisions on water availability. SMAP data also will aid in predictions of plant growth and agricultural productivity, improve short-term weather forecasts and long-term climate change projections, and advance our ability to monitor droughts and predict floods and mitigate their related impacts on people's lives. NASA monitors Earth's vital signs from land, air and space with a fleet of satellites and ambitious airborne and ground-based observation campaigns. NASA develops new ways to observe and study Earth's interconnected natural systems with longterm data records and computer analysis tools to better see how our planet is changing. The agency shares this unique knowledge with the global community and works with institutions in the United States and around the world that contribute to understanding and protecting our home planet.

City of Duarte reports a $415,000 surplus For the City of Duarte the light at the end of the tunnel at mid-year is an estimated $415,000 surplus in the City of Duarte's General Fund, a bright note in the wake of a 2013-2014 adopted budget that included a $223,000 deficit. A one-time residual payment of $693,000 from the County that represents the City's small share of the $7.4 million in non housing dollars that the former Redevelopment Agency was forced to turn over to the county is largely responsible for the reversal of fortune. The surplus of $415,000 will leave the General Fund reserves at $7.2 million, which represents 54% of the General Fund expenditures. At year-end, total General Fund revenues are projected to be $13.8 million, an increase of $1.5 million as compared to the adopted budget. “The City is seeing a slow recovery from the worst recession in over 75 years," said City Manager, Darrell George. "Our operating expenses have been kept pretty flat. Prudent fiscal decisions have also allowed us to see a gain in reserve funds not seen in six years.” Two construction proj-

ects helped to greatly increase the revenues generated by building and engineering permit fees. A retaining wall built by Southern California Edison brought $75,000 while the proposed City of Hope Visitor Center added $110,000 to the City's coffers. City of Hope has deposited $429,000 with the City of Duarte to offset the costs of an Environmental Impact Report for construction of a Visitor's Center. At year-end, total General Fund expenditures are projected to be $13.4 million, an increase of $845,000 as compared to the adopted budget. Several of the increases are funded by new revenues including the one-time residual payment from the County, or represent capital projects. As part of its contribution towards the costs related to the traffic signal at Pops Road, Southern California Presbyterian Homes paid $100,000 to the City at the close of escrow. In conjunction, a onetime revenue of $27,000 was received for the signal from the L. A. County Aid to Cities Other highlights of the mid-year budget report: • $100,000 has been included in the Commu-

nity Development capital improvements budget to provide for the removal of the City Hall clock tower and construction of a longdiscussed state-of-the-art electronic message signboard in its place. • The City Council has recently approved $25,000 and $16,000 in funding for a contract with Kosmont and Associates for an economic analysis of the Charles Company Town Center proposal and RKA for a Royal Oaks traffic calming study. •Due to positive public feedback, City staff is recommending that a pilot program to open Royal Oaks Park restrooms on weekdays, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to dusk during the months of June through September continue. • Ever-increasing water costs are widening the gap between revenues from assessments collected and expenses incurred in the Landscape and Lighting District Fund. The 2013/2014 budget estimated a $215,000 shortfall, but based on the past six months, it is estimated that the gap will be $56,000 more, increasing the General Fund subsidy to $272,000.

Preliminary investigation revealed the location had stolen in excess of $16,000 worth of electricity. A total of 2,489 marijuana plants and various cultivation equipment and supplies were confiscated. At approximately 8:00 p.m., an officer conducted a traffic stop on a bicyclist for riding in the dark with no lighting equipment in the area of Foothill Boulevard and First Avenue. The bicyclist refused to stop and fled until he was apprehended in the 600 block of North Second Avenue. An investigation revealed the subject was under the influence of an alcohol beverage. The 64-year-old Hispanic male was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking. Tuesday, February 18: Just after 5:10 p.m., officers responded to the area of Goldenwest Avenue and Balboa Drive regarding a suspicious subject walking in the neighborhood. The

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.

Ebony Repertory Theatre (ERT - Founder/Producer Wren T. Brown) will present Phillip Hayes Dean’s (Drama Desk-winner for The Sty of the Blind Pig) powerful and moving play PAUL ROBESON. Dean will also stage the ERT production, which will mark his Los Angeles directorial debut. Twotime Emmy Award-winner Keith David (Fox’s new series Enlisted) will star in this one-man play accompanied by pianist/musical director Byron J. Smith (working with numerous artists including Wynton Marsalis, Barbra Streisand, Bebe Winnans). Performances will run March 12 – 30, 2014 with an official press opening on March 14 at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center (4718 West Washington Boulevard) in Los Angeles. “We are excited to work with the seminal playwright and director, Mr. Phillip Hayes Dean, whom I consider firmly in the pantheon of the great American dramatist. His vast body of work not only fits squarely into our mission, I feel it examines the human condition in a way that sheds tremendous light on who we are and who we have been as a nation,” said Ebony Repertory Theatre Founder/ Producer Wren T. Brown. “In addition, having the magnificent award-winning actor of stage, screen, and voiceover, Mr. Keith David, portraying the great American artist/activist Paul Robeson adds immeasurable joy. The coming together of this production, after gestating for five years, brings real satisfaction.” Playwright and director Phillip Hayes Dean added, “I've waited a long time to work with Keith David on Robeson, now the time has come. One of the many things that has impressed me about Keith, beyond his wonderful talent, is that, like Robeson, he has a strong connection to people and their plight.” "At the beginning of 2014, my first project will be Paul Robeson with Ebony Repertory Theatre, headed by my friend Wren T. Brown and directed by the playwright Phillip Hayes Dean,” said Keith David. “I have wanted to do this play since 1978 when I first saw James Earl Jones do it on Broadway. I feel blessed and privileged to be able to start my year honoring this great man in

this great play. This is not a job, it's a gift!” A powerful chronicle of the life of Paul Robeson, Phillip Hayes Dean’s play takes us from his childhood in New Jersey to his adult life around the world. An All-American athlete and a lawyer with Columbia Law School credentials, Robeson faces the racism prevalent in society in the early part of the twentieth century. He strives to rise above, and it is his triumph in that struggle that turns Robeson into a modern day hero. Realizing the racist system would not allow him to practice as a lawyer, Robeson turns to singing, something he had learned well in the church choir. His singing leads to acting and his acting, with all the accolades due a master, leads him around the world. But every place he visits he sees the strains of racism in its many forms. The more he sees, the more he speaks out, using his influence and stature to try and enlighten those around him. After some time in Europe, he returns to the United States to perform and speak out about the injustices in the country he loves. Confronting racism again, he sticks to his values, adhering to no party line, but is accused of being a Communist, an agitator and much more. He is blacklisted and his passport is revoked, but he goes on speaking out whenever he can. For eight years Robeson fights to clear his name. Finally, the social climate begins to change and toward the end of his life, Robeson's passport is reinstated along with some of the glory and respect he earned along the way. There is still far to go, but Paul Robeson remains a beacon to those struggling to make this world a better place. PAUL ROBESON runs March 12 - 30, 2014 with the official press opening on Friday, March 14. Preview performances are scheduled for Wednesday, March 12 at 8:00 p.m. and Thursday, March 13 at 8:00 p.m. The regular performance schedule is Friday at 8:00 p.m., Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. and Sunday at 3:00 p.m. Tickets range from $30.00 - $60.00. Single tickets are available online at ebonyrep. org or by phone at 323-9649766. Groups of 10 or more are available via email at groups@ebonyrep.org or 323964-9766.

Temple City Notices CITY OF TEMPLE CITY PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Temple City will consider increasing the allocations for Fiscal Year (FY) 20132014 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs, adding $150,000 to the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program and $50,000 to the Asbestos Testing and Abatement Program. The City Council will consider the amendments at their meeting of April 1, 2014, at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers of the City Hall, located at 5938 Kauffman Avenue, Temple City. CDBG Funds must be used to achieve the stated national objectives of this Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program. Specifically, these available Federal-Government funds must be used to eliminate slum and blight conditions, assist low and moderate-income households, emergency purposes, or to meet the needs of special population groups, such as the disabled. Additionally, the Community Development Commission has advised Temple City that it may utilize CDBG Funds to address “spot blight”. The City has expended a majority of its allocations for the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program and Asbestos Testing and Abatement Program. Rather than having participants wait until the FY 20142015, staff is recommending that approximately half of CDBG funds budgeted for next fiscal year (FY 2014-2015) be reprogrammed to the current fiscal year (FY 2013-2014). The proposed amendments would provide housing rehabilitation assistance for up to four additional properties. Any interested persons wishing to provide input on the proposed amendments to FY 2013-2014 CDBG Programs (Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Asbestos Testing and Abatement Program) may contact the Community Development Department at City Hall by phone (626) 285-2171.
