lengthy and crazy Doo Dah Queen tryout session which is the annual precursor, a warm-up if you will to the big party, the Doo Dah Parade. Moments after the announcement, one reveler yelled “It is about time!” Referring, of course to Ms. Urbach’s perennial tryouts Please see page 16

My, how times flies
By Dorothy Denne How many times I heard Mom or Aunt Jessie say, "My, how time flies." Then after their passing, it was cousins Dorothea and Olin. Guess whose turn it is now. I can not believe how quickly this year, and my life, are passing into history. I live in today, but I also look to the future, and remember the past. Not only do I say, "My how time flies," but I have to admit I also frequently say, "Lordie, I get more like Mom and Aunt Jessie every day." You know, that's not all bad. They were, in their
way, a couple of strong ladies. Having been born late into their lives, by the time I was old enough to begin collecting memories of them they had recognized that life is a roller coaster. Joy and healing here, desperation and destruction there. By example they were definitely my lead teachers as I learned to roll with the punches and wallow in the joys. One time Mom and I were visiting Aunt Jessie on the farm. It was growing late and darkness had long fallen on the hot, summer night. Mom and I sat in the porch swing while Aunt Jessie paced, wringing her hands. She was distraught. Uncle Earl had not returned from an early trip to town.
We all kept our eyes on the gravel road watching for headlights to appear over the hilltop. When they didn't come and didn't come, Aunt Jessie said, "Land sakes, Mabel. If Earl's not dead, I'm going to kill him when he gets home." Uncle Earl finally made it home. I watched to see how Aunt Jessie would kill him. She looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Your supper's in the warming oven. It's probably dried out by now." Mom took her apron off and said, "It's time for us to go to bed, Dorothy Lou." I was a small child, but the memory is etched firmly in my mind. Land sakes, it seems it was only yesterday. My, my, how time flies.
Why should you shop at the local farmers market?

Rosemead School District to receive salad bar donation from 'Tour de Fresh' cycling event The Rosemead School District will be receiving a new salad bar thanks to the 2014 Tour de Fresh, a charity cycling event coordinated by fresh produce industry members to benefit the Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools Campaign. Ron Cramer, riding for Sakata Seed Co., a Rider Sponsor of the event, selected the Rosemead School District to benefit from his fundraising efforts leading up to the 275-mile ride along the California Coast in October. “This event gives participants a great opportunity to step out of our day-to-day, business roles and support a cause we are very passionate about.” said Cramer. “I’m excited to raise funds for the Rosemead School District that will help them to provide more healthy eating options for their students.” Cramer, along with his 39 fellow riders, aims to raise a total of $120,000 to finance

Sierra Madre WEEKLY
Letters to the Editor Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com
No building moratorium A recent Sierra Madre Planning Commission Meeting had a number of residents speaking on the subject of the City to impose a building moratorium. Their main point was that the City was short on water and has imposed conservation penalties. They also objected to the large homes that were being planned since they would be larger than the existing surrounding homes that they lived in. They have lost sight of the simple fact that the city has already approved not only the Carter subdivision as well as the Stonehouse subdivision which also has on record an agreement from the local residents. The Stonehouse subdivision has two owners and they put forward a further reduction in the number of lots from 23 to 15 lots total and showed a
great deal of sensitivity to the natural hillside area. They increased the lot sizes so that larger homes could be built within the regulations and guidelines. This enables each home to "pencil" out on the financial side. The water shortage subject has been discussed previously so let's just say, emphatically, there is no water shortage. We have a supply and distribution shortage, but that is the city's problem and not the property owners. These new developments have the same rights as the existing property owners have for all of the services that the City is obligated to supply. Every new home is subjected to the redevelopment fees that are imposed by the City. This 6% fee alone gives the city $60,000 or more before anything is started. This is
only the start of the endless charges and fees that the City has imposed. This says nothing about the gross amount of time that it takes to start to build. The people are worrying needlessly because of the huge obstacle course that each house will have to go through to start with. This doesn't mention the year or more that it takes to complete and obtain occupancy. This also does not say how much more money from property taxes that the City will receive from the beginning and every future year that the new home exists. These new homes are good for the whole city and it is incumbent that the rest of us should allow them the same property rights that we enjoy. Let's say NO to any building moratorium!

Mt. Wilson Trail Race Dear Editor: Thanks to a fantastic Mt. Wilson Trail Race Committee, the City of Sierra Madre, dedicated volunteers and sponsors who helped make last Saturday’s Mt. Wilson Trail Race such a success. With good cloud cover and a trail excellently maintained by community volunteers, race conditions were perfect! The 317 runners who ran the 8.6 grueling miles up to Orchard Camp and back all came back safely
with smiles on their faces. Ahead of them were Pasadena’s J.J. Timphony, who captured his third MWTR men’s title with a time of 1:01, and Mireya Vargas, also of Pasadena, the defending MWTR women’s champ who won again in 1:16. All participants were cheered on loudly by the friends, family and Sierra Madre residents, making this a cherished annual community event that promotes fitness and fun. Through the pasta din-
ner, raffle and post-race beer garden, the MWTR Committee raised over $2,320 for Sierra Madre Search & Rescue, an allvolunteer organization that made sure the runners were safe on their journey for the race, while making rescues in the Southern California area year-round. The 2015 MWTR will be run on Saturday, May 23. It is never too early to start training! Pete Siberell Chair, Mt. Wilson Trail Race Committee
Tree pruning to take place throughout El Monte neighborhoods The City of El Monte has begun pruning approximately 1,500 publicly-owned trees per year to follow City-initiated environmental sustainability plans. Trees will be pruned by trained certified arborists and certified tree workers with contractor Trimming Land Co. using a grid pruning system, which divides the City into six neighborhoods. “One of our goals is to make sure that we maintain our trees and upkeep our greenery throughout the City, and this compre-
hensive tree maintenance program will enable us to meet that target,” said Councilwoman Norma Macias. “Using state-of-theart technology and having a comprehensive maintenance program will help us improve the quality of life, public safety and environmental sustainability for our residents.” Affected residents and business owners will be notified via a door hanger. There will also be “No Parking” signs posted due to the danger of falling limbs and to provide trimming access to the trees. Parking restric-
tions will be in place from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the days listed on the notice. Residents are asked not to park on the street until the trees have been pruned and the area has been cleaned. Additionally, due to the hazard of falling limbs, residents are asked to clear their front yard areas of cars, furniture and other valuables before pruning operations take place. Tree trimmings will be recycled into mulch and given to El Monte residents for free on the first Saturday of every month.

Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich said Judge Gilbert Brown’s order to release Christopher Evans Hubbart, a violent, serial sex predator, to the Antelope Valley is “an unconscionable threat to public safety.” The Santa Clara Superior Court judge issued his order today granting the release of the “Pillowcase Rapist,” on or before July 7, 2014. Pursuant to the order, he will reside at 20315 E. Ave R in an unincorporated area near Palmdale. “Despite the best efforts by the Los Angeles
County District Attorney Jackie Lacey, Judge Brown refused to order Hubbart to undergo a new mental health evaluation to determine his mental state prior to his release,” said Antonovich. “His last mental health evaluation was fifteen months ago.” “The Judge’s order failed to consider the objections by law enforcement as well as the grave concerns expressed by the community who sent thousands of opposition letters,” he said. “It’s outrageous that an admitted sexual predator with a long

The Arcadia Women’s Club celebrated its centennial May 7th at their monthly lunch meeting that featured 45 VIP guests that represented a Who’s Who in Arcadia, starting with Mayor John Wuo and every City Council Member. Woman’s Club President Cheryl Alberg welcomed guests to the iconic Woman’s Club building which was elegantly decorated for the occasion. Mayor Wuo was just one of numerous former Mayors of Arcadia including what is perhaps an unprecedented assemblage of all 4 former women Mayors. One of those was Floretta Lauber, who was also the chairman of the
Centennial program, impressed many by introducing each dignitary’s name and title by memory. In planning the program for the Centennial lunch, Lauber sought to re-create an explosive celebratory lunch program in the 1970s that featured some dramatic police demonstrations. Chief Guthrie complied by having some of his officers present a mock terrorist act amongst the lunch attendees. The Woman’s Club has been instrumental in the formation of many longtime Arcadia institutions and organizations, including introducing the community’s first public library and first float in the Tournament of Roses
Parade, and also supported American soldiers by serving meals as far back as World War I. A commemorative program summarized highlights of the organization’s first century. (A free exhibit about the Woman’s Club of Arcadia is on display at the Gilb Museum of Arcadia Heritage through May 31st.) Arcadia Police Chief Robert Guthrie and Sgt. Brian Ortiz presented a fascinating oral history of the police department during the lunch. Members of the SWAT team were set up in front of the building to show and demonstrate some of their equipment.

The May 10th, Sixth Annual Garden Party sponsored by the Friends of the Friends of the Arcadia Historical Society was enjoyed by eighty guests. Mother Nature provided a beautiful spring day with blue sky and a mild breeze to make the afternoon enjoyable. Gail Ostashay, widow of Ed Ostashay, Arcadia Police Officer, was the special guest.
As is the tradition at these affairs, Historical tidbits are shared. This year the topic was: “Legendary women figures from Arcadia’s Past”. Eleven women, all prominent and first in their fields, were given recognition: city librarians, civic leader, policewomen, city treasurer, PTA Council President, the first woman city council candidate (1934), and Santa Anita De-
pot’s only woman station agent, (1895 – 1898). Bev Street, president, was assisted by Jill Kendrick, Mary Hansen, Char Wong, Edie Slemmon, Mickey Ball, Edna Curtis, Betty Hettrick, Carol Howard and Karen Hou. A portion of the proceeds from the event will help fund a scholarship for an Arcadia Police Cadet in Ed Ostashay’s memory.

The Social Whirl Spotlight on Carol Jarvis, Puppy Raiser for Guide Dogs of America Retired Temple City school teacher Carol Jarvis is rarely seen without a canine companion by her side. That’s because Carol is an official “Puppy Raiser” for Guide Dogs of America. This job is not new to Carol. In the past twenty years, as a volunteer, she has raised ten guide dogs and has “puppy-sat” for dozens more. Her current puppy is “Abner”, a six-month-old yellow Labrador retriever. The Arcadia Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) will have the pleasure of welcoming Carol Jarvis and pup Abner to their Monday, June 9th meeting, at the Church of the Good Shepherd’s Jordan Hall, 400 W.

Camino Grove selects Lopez at CEOY A former hairdresser, Olivia Lopez, a teacher’s assistant at Camino Grove Elementary School was recently named classified employee of the year for the Arcadia Unified School District. “I’m very proud,” Lopez said of getting the award. “It’s just a big honor to accept this award. It’s really great. I can’t believe they picked me.” Lopez, who has been with the district almost 10 years, said she works with children ages 5 through 11. She added she loves just being with the kids. “I find it very challenging and seeing how everyday their minds are growing so much, just seeing them develop every day,” she said. “And when you don’t see them for a week or two weeks on vacation you see how they’ve grown and how they’ve matured.

California “X-Prize” bill passes assembly The California State Assembly took one small step today in what could be a giant leap for goodgovernment advocates, passing Assemblyman Mike Gatto’s (D-Los Angeles) “X-Prize” bill by a vote of 66-0. AB 2138 would offer cash incentives for fully developed and actionable plans that increase government efficiency and reduce government waste. “This bill opens up government to the marketplace of ideas,” said Gatto. “Many people are frustrated with the inefficiencies of government and know exactly how to improve a system or process. This modest 'California Government X-Prize' provides the platform for creators and innovators to apply their knowledge to streamline California government.” The legislation would authorize Governor Jerry Brown to select three state agencies, each of which will offer up to a $25,000 prize for Californians with great ideas and intellectual property that solves a specific problem, inno-
vates a process, or otherwise streamlines a system within that agency. This modest 'California Government X-Prize' provides the platform for creators and innovators to apply their knowledge and will be open to all Californians not employed by the state. In his book Citizenville, Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom explained that incentive prizes “solve problems, help people, and save money, thereby fulfilling goals that span the whole political spectrum.” Newsom suggested government use them more often, especially in technology-rich California, and Gatto took up that mission. Incentive prizes have been around since 1714, when the British government offered a £20,000 award (more than $4 million in today’s dollars) to the person able to calculate the longitude of a ship once it had sailed out of view of land. Most observers expected the prize to be won by a navigator or sailor, but it was a local watchmaker who brought a new expertise to the is-
sue and solved the puzzle. In the modern world, it is not so much the money as the renown that makes entering such contests attractive. The Federal Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched a contest in 2011 to develop a multi-purpose combat vehicle. The winner of the DARPA contest, a bluecollar worker for Peterbilt Trucks named Victor Garcia, provided a blueprint for a new combat-support vehicle to the agency and received just $7,500 (but a lifetime of renown and recognition within his field). It is worth emphasizing that the agency did not acquire a mere idea (i.e., “you should build a new combat transport”), but actual intellectual property (plans and blueprints) that would normally cost millions of dollars and a significant amount of time. “The people of California are resourceful and inventive,” said Gatto. “Incentives like this can showcase Californians’ creative solutions to some of the state’s most pressing issues.”
Community partner supports learning through the arts in Pasadena Unified schools Wilson Middle School sixth-grader Amani Williams recently stood up on the stage at Sierra Madre Playhouse describing what it was like to create a short film. “We had to work together. We had to make decisions about what to keep and what to leave out. It was hard and it took a lot longer than I thought it would.” This is the third year that The Music Center has partnered with the Pasadena Unified School District’s (PUSD) three stand-alone middle schools to boost the district’s middle school arts offerings. At Wilson, actor David Guerra from The Music Center and Wilson theater teacher Shannon Mumolo collaborated as middle school students learned theater skills, wrote their own contemporary versions of Greek myths and produced short films in a “movie trailer” format. These films were then shown at a screening for proud parents, staff and community at the Sierra Madre Playhouse. “For the students, working this way has really brought the academic content to life,”
said Wilson Middle School Principal Sarah Rudchenko. “It’s in the sixth-grade social studies standards to study ancient civilizations. Learning through theater and film makes it exciting for students.” The partnership between PUSD and The Music Center has provided classroom experiences in theater, music, visual art and dance to approximately 450 middle school students. A professional teaching artist is paired with English and/or history teachers as they work together to create and teach a project that will build students’ abilities to communicate, collaborate and connect to academic subjects. Additionally, in-school performances from professional actors reach an even greater number of students at each school. At Eliot Arts Magnet, all students enjoyed a theater performance by Guerra and his group BOXTALES, through The Music Center on Tour program. Guerra also mentored drama teacher Janus Stechel and language resource teacher Julie
Alvarez during academic literacy courses where students produced original plays based on themes related to bullying and graffiti art. The collaboration with The Music Center is one of several strong partnerships supporting the new visual and performing arts themed Eliot Arts Magnet. “Because the students knew they would be performing plays based on their work, there was a stronger commitment to write authentic plays,” commented Alvarez. “I firmly believe that my students bought into the project because of the arts component which made the experience exciting for all of us.” The public is invited to watch Eliot students perform staged readings of the work they produced through the The Music Center artist residency during their spring showcase Metamorphosis on Wednesday, April 16th from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. at Eliot Arts Magnet, 2184 North Lake Avenue, Altadena.

She has just celebrated her 103rd birthday “We have been a very close family growing up in Arcadia,” says David Bontempo. "We always had our cousins close by and would get together often. Grandma Francis was always into health foods and good living. She was not one to go to

Senator Carol Liu Foster Youth Town Hall Senator Carol Liu (DLa Cañada, Flintridge) invites current and former foster youth to a town hall this Saturday, May 31st at All Saints Church (Sweetland Hall, 132 N. Euclid Ave., Pasadena, 91101) from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. As a recent Los Angeles County Blue Ribbon Commission on Child Protection highlights, many youth in Los Angeles County still lack a wide range of support, such as counseling, appropriate housing, or a permanent
family. The town hall will provide current and former foster youth an opportunity to engage with foster care providers, agencies, and advocates who will be on-hand to answer questions related to: higher education, financial aid, financial planning, healthcare, housing, and self-advocacy. Limited transportation to the event is available. “Every child needs love and support to transition into adulthood,
but unfortunately many foster youth face an added set of obstacles in their lives. I remain committed to finding solutions to the unique barriers that foster youth face.” said Senator Liu. “This town hall is the first step in addressing the issues of an often overlooked population.” Please pre-register and receive more information by contacting Joyce RoysAguilera at: joyce.roysaguilera@sen.ca.gov or call Senator Liu’s District Office at (818) 409-0400.

David Vannasdall hired as AUSD Superintendent David Vannasdall, the district’s deputy superintendent for the past two years, has been hired as the new superintendent of the Arcadia Unified School District at its Tuesday night board of education meeting. Vannasdall will assume the new position on July 1. He is taking over for Joel Shawn, who is retiring after six years at the post. Vannasdall said he is really pleased to have been offered the district’s top job. “It’s an enormous honor,” he said. “I’ve been in the district for nine years. To be able to go into the superintendent position without going to another district – which is usually the case with these positions – I have an opportunity to build on all those relationships I’ve made over the last nine years.” He added he is looking forward to working with Arcadia’s board over the next few years. “It’s also a confirmation from the board on the work that’s been going on,” Vannasdall said. “It’s a very clear, decisive board. They
By Shel Segal know what they want and I think this is a confirmation. We’re on the right path and we’re just going to continue to grow.” He also said he thinks he has his work cut out for him. “Continuing to build relationships,” Vannasdall said of what he will be doing first. “Even though I’ve been in the district it would be easy to step into the office and continue on. But you have to recognize that it’s a different position. I need to give myself some time to go around the district and listen to the different groups that are represented.” In addition, he said there are some challenges facing the district. “I have a clear understanding of what’s working and what needs work on,” he said. “What’s working is our education is second to none in my mind. We need to continue to figure out some things that have come our way, like Common Core curriculum and the (Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium) testing.” Vannasdall entered the

field of education in 1992 after earning a bachelor’s degree in secondary education from University of Kentucky and came to Arcadia in 2005 when he became the principal of Arcadia High School. Under Vannasdall’s eightyear tenure at the high school the academic performance index increased by 80 points. Currently studying for his doctorate at Azusa Pacific University, Vannasdall is married to a middle school teacher and has five children, three boys and two girls. He enjoys hiking, traveling, reading and riding his motorcycle. (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.
A 23-year-old transient was convicted on May 22 of one felony and one misdemeanor for inadvertently starting the Jan. 16 Colby Fire in the mountains north of Glendora that charred 1,952 acres, injured six people and destroyed five homes, according to a published report. Jonathan Jarrell was found guilty of “one felony charge of unlawfully setting timber afire, and a misdemeanor charge of illegally starting a fire,” U.S. Department of Justice spokesman Thom Mrozek said in a written statement. In addition, the jury could not reach a decision on two fire-related additional misdemeanor charges. One civilian and five firefighters were hurt during
the fire, according to that report. Two other men had already been con Jarrell has been charged with “setting fire to timber, grass and underbrush in the Angeles National Forest by building a campfire; violating a fire restriction order by using a fire outside a recreation site in the forest; causing timber, trees, brush and grass to burn in the forest without a permit; and causing and failing to maintain control a fire that damaged the national forest system,” according to that report. Two men who Jarrell knew were tried separately and each convicted by a federal jury in Los Angeles on May 16 of “one felony count of unlawfully setting timber afire and three other
misdemeanor charges related to illegally starting a campfire,” according to that report. Convicted on those four counts were Clifford Eugene Henry, 22, of Glendora and 21-year-old transient Steven Robert Aguirre. Sentencing is set to take place on Aug. 4 in a Los Angeles federal court with the two facing a maximum of six and a half years in prison, according to that report. The prosecution has also set it will seek restitution, and while the amount hasn’t been set yet it is believed to me in the millions, according to that report.

fights?” asks Claudia Heller, President of the Duarte Historical Society. The Museum is open on Saturdays from 1-4 p.m. and from 1-3 the first and third Wednesday of each month. Admission is free. For more information, call (626) 3580329.

Adam Schiff appointed to Benghazi select committee
-Photo by Terry Miller
Rep. Adam Schiff (DCA), a senior Member of the Intelligence Committee, released the following statement after being appointed to the Select Committee on Benghazi: “I‘ve been involved in the investigation into Benghazi from day one as a Member of the Intelligence Committee because like every other American I want
to know what happened, why it happened, how we can keep it from happening again, and I want to bring to justice those that perpetrated this horrible attack. But almost 18 months later, and after 8 reports from House and Senate committees and the Accountability Review Board, the questions that this select committee purports to investigate have been asked
Sierra Madre resident arrested for possession of child pornography
and answered time and time and time again. “This morning, Leader Pelosi asked if I would serve on the select committee on Benghazi. While I do not believe that yet another committee to investigate Benghazi is either needed or warranted, I said that if it was felt I could add value I would serve. “We must keep our focus where it should have been all along – on the deaths of those four brave Americans, on finding those responsible and bringing them to justice, and on implementing changes to our overseas security to make sure this never happens again. It is my hope that this latest investigative effort does not degenerate into a select committee on talking points, and that we retain a focus on the things that really matter – improving security and finding the killers.”
An early morning Search Warrant was served at a residence in the 400 Blk of Sturtevant Dr., in the City of Sierra Madre. The Sierra Madre Police Department and the Internet Crimes against Children (ICAC) Task Force were involved in the investigation. Edward L. Sanchez, 66, of Sierra Madre was taken into custody without incident at the location. Computers and other items were seized as evidence in the case. Police Chief Larry Giannone said” this has been a lengthy investigation and is ongoing…we are urging anyone who has minor children that may have had personal contact with Mr. Sanchez to contact the Police Department”.

On May 23, 2014, at 8:00 a.m., a female victim was walking in the area of Huntington and Canyon in
the city of Monrovia. A lone male suspect approached the victim from behind. The suspect wrapped his right arm around the victim’s waist and with his left hand, grabbed her buttocks. The suspect said, “Hey baby,” as he assaulted the victim. When the victim screamed for help, the suspect fled north on Canyon out of view. The suspect is described as a male Hispanic, 19 to 21 years of age, 5’06” tall, 140 pounds, with short brown hair and brown eyes.

by Anne Donofrio-Holter Arroyo High School student Vince Nguyen has been elected Key Club Lieutenant Governor of Division 35 West for 2014-15. Key Club International is the oldest and largest service program for high school students. Affiliated with Kiwanis International, it is a student-led organization that teaches leadership through service to others. "Ever since I attended my first meeting, my love for Key Club has grown from there. This organization has given me something no other club can give, an Ohana - family," said Nguyen. "My life has been immensely impacted by Key Club and all the wonderful people who are in it." Nguyen's goals are centered around making the division better by strengthening the bonds between all clubs in the division, enhancing every member’s Key Club experience through new and innovative ideas to
keep current members' interest as well as attract new members, strengthening leadership qualities in each member and keeping members and officers dedicated and motivated throughout his term. "I will also strive towards building stronger clubs and creating a year full of service and memories that will never be forgotten," said Nguyen. "I will stay dedicated to Key Club and work hard to help each member grow a passion for service." Some of Nguyen's duties will include serving as a liaison between the district and the division, serving as a district board member and on one of the committees, holding at least ten divisional council meetings a year, promoting Key Club and helping each club improve. Key Club International has more than 5,000 clubs in 32 countries with a total membership of approximately 260,000 students.

"I will dedicate my time to all the members who serve this division by striving towards achieving the goals I’ve set and the goals that each club wants to achieve," added Nguyen.
needs and coordinate with the Arcadia School District to offer practice and training facilities. In addition, Arcadia Chamber of Commerce member hotels, including Embassy Suites Arcadia, Hilton Garden Inn, and Santa Anita Inn, have agreed to be Host Town lodging partners, providing 50 rooms and numerous breakfasts for 100 athletes and coaches. “This is an honor for Arcadia, and the community is proud to help celebrate and support such inspiring athletes in this global event,” said Mayor John Wuo. “Arcadia Chamber business members are pleased to unite in support of this terrific showcase of the world’s biggest Special Olympics event and the biggest sporting event of any kind in 2015,” added Denise Weaver, president of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce. The Host Town program has been an important element of Special Olympics World Games since 1995, and
the experience has left a lasting impression on the local communities in Ireland, Japan, China, Greece, South Korea and the United States, all of which have previously organized Host Town programs as part of the Special Olympics World Games. LA2015 is actively identifying potential Host Town candidates to be considered for the program. Communities are evaluated on the availability of lodging accommodations, sports practice facilities and recreation/entertainment offerings for the athletes, among other criteria. Host Towns are also responsible for planning activities for the athletes to introduce them to the community and help spread the word about the Games. More Host Town selections will be announced in the coming weeks. Communities interested in serving as Host Towns can learn more by visiting the World Games website at www. LA2015.org/host-town.

Dr. Chao has a quick and easy solution
1-888-398-1377
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. *Patent No. ___US 8,007,278,B2___, Patent No. __US 8,202,092B2___
Mike Gatto’s bill to protect students’ social media data passes assembly Young people who might want to delete an embarrassing or controversial post to social media currently have few options, especially if that young person’s school monitors, collects, and keeps such postings on separate hard drives, forever. Legislation by Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles) would ensure that information collected by school districts about its students’ social media activities cannot come back to hurt students years later. Gatto’s bill, AB 1442, passed the Assembly today by a vote of 74-0. The legislation addresses a growing problem in the social media-driven era: school districts, hoping to identify and prevent bullying, teen suicide, and school violence, are using taxpayer dollars to
collect social-media information from students and others. The data collected ranges from statements and opinions, to personal photos, and even videos posted by teens online (or any other member of the public who mentions a school in a post). While the data collection serves a noble purpose, current law does not address how long the data may be kept, when it must be destroyed, or whether parents are made aware of the collection policies. “When taxpayer dollars are being used by a government agency to monitor minor students, parents have a right to know what that data is being used for and how long it will be stored,” said Gatto. “Imagine the harm that could be caused if a hacker, meanspirited employee, or even a
careless IT worker were to expose a database of all of the things a person said or did as a teenager.” AB 1442 would create reasonable standards of privacy when school districts collect and analyze, or contract with a third-party entity to collect and analyze, data that students post to social-media websites, like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The measure requires that parents be notified of the collection policies, and that students be given the opportunity to examine information collected about them. Finally, it requires that any such information be destroyed within one year of the student turning eighteen years of age or leaving the district. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.

Two lancers appointed to West Point La Salle High School is proud to announce that two graduating seniors, Renaissance Forster, and Elizabeth Lynch have been admitted to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Forster is an honors student and All-League volleyball player who helped lead the Lancers to their second consecutive CIF D1 Volleyball Championship. Forster says she looks forward to earning her commission as she comes from a long line of family members who have served their country in the military. “It was just a dream as a young girl to go to West Point, but La Salle challenged me and as I worked harder and got better grades, West Point became a possibility, then a reality. I love a challenge and I think it would be hard to find a bigger challenge than going to a military academy.” She was courted by both the Army and Naval Academy at Annapolis to attend on an athletic scholarship, yet she chose the Army because she was accepted on her academic achievement alone.

“I still plan to “walk-on” the volleyball team and I think I have a good shot at playing for the Black Knights,” she says. Forester will study medicine at the Academy and most likely graduate as a medic. She hopes to earn her MD following her active duty. Elizabeth Lynch said, “It’s kind of corny, but a really want to serve my country. That’s why I applied to West Point. Plus I’ll get an education at one of the best schools in the country.” A member of CSF and the NHS, Liz is also a four-year cheerleader who led the
Lancers to a top ten finish in the 2014 National Cheer Championships. “I love the competition and the friendships you make in cheer,” she says. “I qualified for the cheer team at West Point during the pre-admittance physicals and I’m really excited about that.” Lynch has yet to declare a major, but hopes to make the military her career. Prior to La Salle’s graduation on Friday, May 23 both girls received leather bound and engraved Certificates of Appointment to the United States Military Academy.

due to construction projects over at LAX. El Segundo Sand is naturally occurring and we won’t have to mix it with any other material, which is best-case. The best surfaces around the country are all made of naturally occurring soils that are indigenous and not made by man.” Moore, one of America’s most highly respected track superintendents, was hired by Santa Anita following a highly successful run at Hollywood Park,
which closed Dec. 22, 2013. He also currently oversees a newly converted one mile oval at Los Alamitos and has built and maintained track surfaces the world-over for the past 40 years. The material, which is currently being trucked from LAX and staged in Santa Anita’s Infield parking lot adjacent to its hillside turf course, is in the process of being screened and will be ready for installation upon the removal of
the existing main track. Santa Anita’s current Spring Meet will conclude June 29 and the track will be closed to training from July 10 through the conclusion of the Del Mar’s final weekend, Aug. 30 & 31. Santa Anita’s 2014 Fall Meet will open on Sept. 26 and be highlighted for an unprecedented third consecutive year by the two-day Breeders’ Cup World Championships on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. Closing day is Sunday, Nov. 2.

Even in a state with hundreds of miles of beautiful, sandy beaches, luxury home buyers in California preferred hilltop homes over oceanfront properties by a margin of four to one, according to the Arcadia Association of Realtors® (A.A.R.) The “2013 Luxury Real Estate Consumer Survey”, conducted by the California Association of Realtors® (C.A.R.) says forty-one percent of buyers who bought luxury homes (homes priced above $1 million) last year, purchased a home with a hilltop view, compared to 10 percent who bought an oceanfront home. Hilltop homes even outranked ocean-front homes and ocean-view homes combined (38 percent). Buyers also purchased luxury homes located near a golf course (16 percent), mountain area (12 percent), resort area (9 percent), lakefront (4 percent), and ski resort (1 percent). The vast majority (79 percent) of luxury home buyers said they purchased the home as a primary residence. Ten percent purchased the home as a vacation or sec-

ond home. Nine percent purchased the home as an investment or rental property, and two percent cited “other” reasons. Additional findings from C.A.R.’s 2013 Luxury Real Estate Consumer Survey include: •One-fourth of luxury home buyers said the main reason they purchased a home was because they wanted a larger home, compared to traditional buyers (23 percent) who said they were tired of renting as the primary reason for purchasing a home. •With luxury home buyers usually being higher
income earners, more than a third of all luxury buyers (35 percent) were able to pay all cash for their property, compared to 27 percent of traditional buyers, and 11 percent of first-time buyers. •Luxury home buyers also made higher down payments (30 percent of the sale price) than traditional buyers (25 percent), and as a result had less difficulty in obtaining financing than traditional buyers. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being “very easy” and 10 being “very difficult,” luxury home buyers rated acquiring financing difficulty at 3.7, compared to 8.6 for traditional buyers. •While luxury home buyers spent less time looking for properties (five weeks) compared to traditional buyers (10 weeks), luxury buyers looked at more properties (10 properties) than traditional buyers (eight properties) before purchasing the home. •Buyers of luxury properties tend to be more optimistic than traditional buyers, with more than seven in 10 (71 percent) luxury buyers saying they expected home prices to increase in one year, compared to 36 percent of traditional buyers. •Luxury home buyers intended to keep the property for a median of 10 years, compared to six years for traditional buyers. •Fifty-seven percent of luxury buyers were single, compared to 37 percent of traditional buyers who were single. The Luxury Real Estate Consumer Survey was conducted via email to a random sample of REALTORS® statewide who worked with luxury home buyers. All eligible respondents closed escrow on their homes within the 12 months prior to November 2013. The survey asked REALTORS® a series of questions regarding their last closed transaction with a luxury client.

Joe Orrach of 'In My Corner' at Pasadena Playhouse participates in local outreach Summer Speaker Series
MAY “Virtual Dementia Tour” Learning to create a positive environment for those with dementia can only come from attempting to walk in their shoes. This virtual dementia tour is designed to instill hope in professional and family caregivers, providing them with a tool to move from sympathy to empathy and better understand the behaviors and needs of their loved ones and patients. Don’t miss this unique experience! Presented by Manny De La Cruz from Right at Home
Tuesday, May 27, 2014, 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM

Joe Orrach, US Air Force Welterweight Champ turned tap dancer, was discovered by Gregory Hines and has appeared on stage and television with Joan Baez, Bob Hope, the Smothers Brothers, Michael Davis, Liliane Montevecchi, Bill Irwin, David Shiner, Melissa Manchester, and the Cookie Monster. He’s appeared in Woody Allen’s Everyone Says I Love You and in the long running Teatro ZinZanni in San Francisco. The Pasadena Playhouse is collaborating with Orrach to bring his skills and insight as a communicative performer to support the underserved in the Pasadena community. In his community workshops, Orrach focuses on how to communicate using both words and body language to share thoughts and feelings – as well as learning to read and learn about others by observing their body language and non-verbal cues. He has created exercises that improve public speaking by using the speaker’s unique rhythms to best enhance personality and presence and best serve and communicate the authenticity of messages. Orrach also demonstrates his techniques, using scenes and sequences from his show IN MY CORNER, written by Lizbeth Hasse and directed by Jeremiah Chechik. IN MY CORNER will play a special engagement on Saturday, May 31 at 8:00 p.m. at the newly refurbished Carrie Hamilton Theatre at The Pasadena Playhouse.
Orrach’s community outreach in Pasadena this month includes the Advancement Project Urban Peace Academy’s Leadership Instruction Development and the IMPACT Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center. Director Chechik said, "Orrach has created a very powerful, emotionally charged piece that taps into universal themes of fathers and sons. What's so extraordinary is the way that dynamic creeps up on you because it's played out in such an entertaining way." Elizabeth Doran, the Executive Director of The Pasadena Playhouse said, “We have been looking for the ideal way to re-open the Carrie Hamilton Theatre after renovating it into a new and intimate black box theatre…we are very happy to be showcasing Joe Orrach and his engaging and dynamic play IN MY CORNER .” With IN MY CORNER, Orrach has put together a high-powered evening of drama, music and movement. The show tells the autobiographical tale of a Puerto Rican/Italian kid growing up in a family dominated by a violent exboxer father. His comingof-age story is one in which he makes his way out of chaos and violence through his discovery of dance. Orrach’s fast-paced narrative riffs shift seamlessly into boxing sequences and driving tap numbers, accompanied by the music of a jazz ensemble.
This moving and transformative work delivers a powerful punch guaranteed to leave audiences breathless. Most recently seen in Los Angeles at the Odyssey Theater in October 2013, The Los Angeles Post called Orrach “an electrifying bundle of pure, smoking energy." Broadway World said, “Orrach’s ease with his body and athletic movements make his work seem effortless and so engrossing I could have watched him dance all night!” The Planet said, “A great solo show, with a great performer giving his all.” IN MY CORNER is made possible in part by funding from Dance Creation to Performance funded by The James Irvine Foundation and administered by Dance/USA. IN MY CORNER plays a special engagement at The Carrie Hamilton Theatre at The Pasadena Playhouse (39 South El Molino Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101) on Saturday, May 31, 2014 at 8:00 p.m. All tickets are $30.00 and are available by calling The Pasadena Playhouse at 626356-7529 or by visiting The Pasadena Playhouse Box Office, Tuesday – Sunday from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. during non-performance dates. On performance dates the Box Office is open Tuesday – Saturday from 1:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, visit www.PasadenaPlayhouse.org.

Scott Officiates 45th Annual Peace Officers Memorial Sheriff John Scott presided over the 45th Annual Los Angeles County Peace Officers’ Memorial Ceremony on Wednesday, May 21, 2014, to commemorate the lives of those peace officers who died in the line of duty while serving the residents of Los Angeles County. Attending the memorial ceremony were numerous federal, state, and local dignitaries, in addition to family members, friends, and co-workers of the fallen officers. Chief Charlie Beck, Los Angeles Police Department was the keynote speaker. Supervisor Michael Antonovich, Fifth District Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, and Chief Robert Fager, Hawthorne Police Department also served as honorable guest speakers. Regrettably, the names of the following officers were added to the Memorial Wall: Sergeant Leonard R. Luna, Jr., Hawthorne Police Department, who died on July 8, 2013, as a result of injuries he sustained when another vehicle struck his motorcycle while traveling on the I-105 Freeway. Officer Nicholas C. Lee, Los Angeles Police Department, who died on March 7, 2014, when he was involved in a traffic collision with a commercial vehicle while responding to call. Officer Christopher Cortijo, Los Angeles Police Department, who died on April 9, 2014, after suffering
NEW 2014 PRIUS HATCH BACK FIVE
complications from injuries he sustained when a vehicle failed to stop for a red light, crushing him and his motorcycle between two vehicles. In addition, historical research determined that the following peace officers, previously killed in the line of duty, are deserving of their place on the Memorial Wall: Deputy Adolfo Celis, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, who died on April 18, 1883, from a gunshot wound to his chest, when his rifle dislodged, fell out of the buckboard, striking a wagon wheel and discharged. Constable Anton Harnischfeger, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, on March 20, 1889, after suffering complications from a gunshot wound to his face, when he was attempting to serve an arrest warrant on a suspect who had assaulted a 15 year old victim earlier in the day. Deputy Constable Anthony B. Couts, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, who died on October 25, 1914, as a result from injuries he sustained from gunshot wounds, while responding to a dispute between two property owners. Constable John S. (Jack) Pilcher, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, died tragically on June 4, 1925, when his partner’s gun fell out of his shoulder holster, striking the ground and discharging, shooting Constable Pilcher between the eyes. Deputy James L. McDer-
mott, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, who died on August 26, 1931, when he was impaled on a hook used to suspend a water hose, injuries he sustained while trying to stop his runaway county vehicle and prevent it from reentering traffic or severely damaging the station. The sharp point pierced his chest just below his heart. Sergeant Raymond C. Willis, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, who died tragically on April 15, 1957, while responding to a search for a downed plane near Malibu, the small airplane he and his partner were flying in experienced engine trouble, and burst into flames. Bronze plaques with the names of the nine officers now join the other 485 law enforcement officers whose names are inscribed on the Memorial Wall to honor their dedication to duty and the ultimate sacrifice they made. As part of the ceremony, Sheriff Scott accepted a torch delivered by members of various law enforcement agencies following a threeday Memorial Torch Relay Run totaling 339 miles. The relay run commenced at the Sherman Block Sheriff’s Headquarters Building and traveled to each mainland Sheriff’s station. The Memorial Flame at the Los Angeles County Peace Officers’ Memorial Wall was ignited in tribute to the fallen officers.

Stonefire Grills build on “Meat & Potatoes” theme with expanded menu Restaurants introduce more vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free & lean meat items
As the dining public continues to demand more veggies and leaner options, the highly popular Stonefire Grills, with 7 locations throughout LA & OC, have introduced several new items to its evolving menu. Three of the latest offerings feature cauliflower – which is quickly surging in popularity among foodies -- including a warm Whole Roasted Cauliflower topped with lemon tahini sauce and chopped parsley for $5.99; Roasted Cauliflower Pita stuffed chopped tomato, green onion, lemon tahini and a spicy cilantro-serrano sauce for $5.99; and Cauliflower Salad offered as a side item. With an emphasis on lean meats, Stonefire Grill, a leader in the fast-casual arena, has introduced a Traditional Turkey Sandwich with red leaf lettuce, cranberry sauce, whole grain mustard and mayo served on whole grain bread; Italian Turkey Sandwich with shredded lettuce, mayo, tomato, red onion, mozzarella cheese and dijon mustard vinaigrette on a French roll; and a Turkey Salad Sandwich with low-fat yogurt, chopped celery, green onion, dried cranberry and red leaf lettuce on whole grain bread. All are priced at $6.99.
Also new are The Caprese with smashed grape tomatoes, homemade pesto, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and wild arugula on toasted ciabatta for $7.99; and warm sautéed Shrimp served over quinoa with fresh lemon, olive oil, garlic, chili flakes and chopped parsley. The 8 shrimp 1/2 order is $10.99, 16 shrimp full order $19.99, and the meal served with your choice of salad and 2 freshly baked breadsticks is $10.99. “Stonefire Grill has always held tight to our highly successful, family-oriented ‘meat & potatoes’ theme, but as the tastes of our guests evolve, so too does our menu. Our goal is to keep our finger on the pulse of the dining public and introduce items that are sure to please,” said spokesman Justin Lopez, whose family founded the concept in 2000. “While we have no intention of straying from the menu that put us on the map (e.g., mesquite BBQ chicken, cracked pepper garlic tri tip, lemon garlic salmon, etc.), we will continue to explore items that are, at once, flavorful, value oriented and good for you.” Last year, the restaurants introduced a number of items that could be considered healthy including:
Keen Green, a blend of fresh spinach, pesto and quinoa with artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, avocado and Parmesan cheese for $8.99; the Healthy Hybrid, quinoa with garbanzo beans, red onion, green bell peppers, Kalamata olives, cucumber, tomato and artichoke hearts tossed with Dijon mustard vinaigrette and topped with feta cheese for $7.99; and sides of quinoa simply prepared in a vegetable broth with a dash of fresh lemon, mint and green onions priced between $1.59 - $8.99. Though not in keeping with its “meat & potatoes” theme, these items achieved far better than expected sales, reported Lopez. “It wasn’t long ago that foods like kale and quinoa were only known to the health food crowd,” he said. “Today, you are starting to see such items appear on the menus of mostly boutique restaurants. In the fast-casual genre, Stonefire Grill is taking a leading role in introducing such foods to the general public and the response so far has been overwhelming.” For more information, visit www.stonefiregrill.com, become a fan on facebook. com/stonefiregrill or follow Stonefire on twitter.com/ stonefiregrill or instagram. com/stonefiregrill.

Grandmother’s Home in the City: Zona Rosa Caffe by Marie Valdes
Nestled between the buildings of the Playhouse District, sits a lovely little coffee house in the middle of the city. Opening its doors in February 1994, Zona Rosa Caffe set itself apart from the typical coffee houses of today, by creating a unique Latin experience through its ambiance, and providing the community with a place of solace. Its purple and yellow walls and upstairs setting—often described as “a visit to your grandmother’s home”—shows the years of commitment to serving its loyal customers. At Zona Rosa Caffe music and art are celebrated. Works of art are displayed on the walls of the café, welcoming new artists and offering them a place to showcase their creativity. In the springtime, beginning in the month of April and lasting through the end of November, the love for Latin music is shared every Thursday evening during Zona Rosa Nights. On this entertaining occasion, patrons can listen to the sounds of local musicians while enjoying one of the finest cups of coffee Pasadena has to offer: the Zona Rosa Cappuccino. Hosted at Lockwood Alley, an outdoor patio area, dancing is often seen under a string of lights, as music plays well into the evening until the café retires its baristas, and the city starts to settle upon its deserted streets. Throughout this experience, Zona Rosa Caffe continues its

support of small, independent businesses, by inviting a weekly selection of gourmet food trucks to introduce a variety of flavors to the pallets of those in need of satisfying their appetite for new cuisine. Holidays take center stage at the café. October is celebrated with the
Day of the Dead, and New Year’s Day begins in the wee hours of the morning preparing for Pasadena’s Rose Parade. Its dedicated owners have helped sustain the city’s Playhouse District by building a reputation for unmatched quality and customer service. An experience well worth the drive!
Clearman’s vision alive and well at North Woods Inn John Clearman wanted to open a restaurant where his friends and family would enjoy good times and great meals. If he were here now, he’d be pleased to know that many, many families have enjoyed those memorable moments at his namesake restaurants including the popular Clearman’s North Woods Inn in San Gabriel. His vision of the woodsy atmosphere of a snow-toped hunting lodge is still being appreciated today and is such a draw that San Gabriel Valley families plan all of their special occasion meals
served
there. Warm in the winter and a cool retreat in the summer, the environment is ‘log cabin timeless’ with an interior just as unique as the exterior. Diners enjoy the beautiful leaded glass windows, antique chandeliers and old-time paintings. But, it’s not stuffy. Fun and peanut shells on the floor are encouraged. What families really come for are the lumberjack sized portions, from appetizers to enormous salads, dinner entrées and desserts. Few can resist seconds of the famous Cheese Bread either. The lunch and dinner menu is full of top quality steaks,
lots of seafood choices like lobster tail and jumbo shrimp, along with the more traditional roasted chicken.The lunch sandwiches and sides are huge as well. It’s a great place for your next office party or client lunch. Mr. Clearman would definitely approve of the cocktail hour bites that draw sports fans wanting a family room atmosphere in which to watch their favorite teams play. Clearmans is located at7247 Rosemead Blvd. in San Gabriel. For more information, call 626-2863579 or visit www.clearmans.com.

El Portal owner passionate about Yucatan El Portal Mexican Restaurant is known for its perennial ranking as Pasadena’s top Mexican restauant.

A very special Tequila Tasting, its matinee event, is held every September. Mariachi Mexico is featured every Friday, Duet Alanniz on Saturdays and Mariachi Bella on Sundays.

National Wells Fargo works project celebrates local LA-based business Zoey Van Jones Brow Studio honored by bank with $25,000 in prizes & services - Other small businesses can enter contest through June 30 Wells Fargo is introducing Wells Fargo Works for Small Business, a broad initiative to deliver resources, guidance and services to help more small businesses achieve financial success. With the new initiative, Wells Fargo also is announcing a goal to extend $100 billion in new lending to small businesses by 2018. Wells Fargo Works for Small Business provides wide-ranging support for business owners throughout the U.S. to help them build knowledge, access capital and expand their community of support. Wells Fargo Works for Small Business encompasses the company’s commitment to helping small businesses grow. As part of the platform, the bank launched the Wells Fargo Works Project, an online video series featuring the true stories of five small businesses working with Wells Fargo to achieve
their business goals, and a contest for small business owners. The series of webisodes chronicles the journeys of five selected business owners – customers of Wells Fargo – as they work to reach their goals with financial help from Wells Fargo and other small business experts retained by Wells Fargo. Two of the five inaugural businesses featured in the unique experience, offered by the Wells Fargo Works Project online video series, are based in Los Angeles - Zoey Van Jones Brow Studio (Pasadena) and EasyLunchboxes (Tarzana). The next phase of the contest runs from May 1 – June 30, and winners will be announced in September. Eligible small business owners nationwide will have the chance to compete in a contest where five finalists each will win $25,000 along with mentorship and tailored solutions for their business,
and a $5,000 charitable donation to a charity in their community. To enter, business owners must submit up to a two and a half-minute video or 600word essay responding to questions about their business. Twenty-five finalists will be selected to each receive $1,000 for their business. Five grand prize winners will then be selected from the 25 finalists. As part of the Wells Fargo Works for Small Business Project a video blogger aired a segment about Zoey’s work with a link to the Studio’s website which received more than 20,000 visits in one day – more than triple the weekly traffic. Wells Fargo was also able to help Zoey create branded tweezers, a long awaited goal, which has opened doors with magazines and websites that can now review her product and publicize her brand. Wells Fargo also helped begin talks with national retailers,
and made a $5,000 donation to City of Hope in the Zoey Van Jones Brow Studio name to highlight her commitment to the community. Zoey selected City of Hope because she has a personal friend battling cancer and has seen firsthand the devastating effects of cancer treatment which often causes patients to lose their hair – including their eyebrows. "My experience with the Wells Fargo team has been nothing short of amazing. We've been able to open doors and truly start taking the business to the next level with their loan and guidance. I'm excited for the coming months ahead as I continue to take the Zoey Van Jones brand national," said Wells Fargo Works featured small business owner Zoey Van Jones. “Working with small business owners like Zoey is one of the most important things we do at Wells Fargo. We know America

Life Remembered Blair Christopher Polk, 44 June 15, 1969 – May 26, 2014 nia, might offer some better answers for his son’s condition -- and perhaps even some hope.
After being in and out of mental health care facilities all his life, Blair spent last October in no fewer than seven different facilities trying a kind of "hit and miss" approach with medicines to treat a complex condition that so few understand and that so deeply wounded Blair’s every waking moment. Blair was well-liked in the local music community and often attended local jazz shows in Pasadena and Los Angeles. His all-time favorite band was Motorhead, which his dad braved at a concert a couple of years ago, much to the detriment of his eardrums. Blair was also fond of the band KISS. As Blair’s primary interest was music, he often visited First Cabin in Arcadia and listened to Pat O’Brien and the Priests of Love. Blair became good friends with many of the musicians who appeared
locally and especially drummer, Jimmy Volpe. Blair was also very fond of the local jazz musicians, especially Leila Avila. Blair’s father said, in closing, “Blair’s condition deteriorated further into paranoia and thought his medications were placebos because they were not helping him. He handled his illness better than I ever could. He will continue to inspire me and give me the strength to continue my life. Blair is my hero. I love you, Blair.” Blair Christopher Polk was found dead in the early morning on Memorial Day after his father had filed a missing persons report with Arcadia Police 36 hours earlier. No foul play was indicated and the Coroner has yet to determine the cause of death. Blair was 44 years old. Blair Polk is survived by his father, Joe, and an uncle, Don, in Santa Barbara. His father Joe Polk suggests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to a mental health facility of your choice to help others who are so terribly afflicted by this disease for which there is enormous stigma, misunderstanding and no identified cure. Blair will be missed by many but especially those closest to him, which included his extended family at Arcadia Weekly, where his dad Joe was circulation manager for many years. We extend our sincerest, heartfelt condolences to Joe Polk during this extremely challenging time.

The season might be finished, but one major reason for the Pasadena High baseball team’s success this season came from the addition of pitching coach Michael Gonzales. Under the tutelage of Gonzales, the Bulldogs won 20 games – the most in school history – and made it to the CIF Southern Section playoffs. Gonzales said he came over to the Bulldogs after serving as the pitching coach at Temple City High for six years, adding it looks like it was the right move. “We overachieved other people’s expectations,” Gonzales said. “But I still feel like we could have done more in the aspect of winning, but, all in all, we had a great season. Coach (Mike) Parisi and I couldn’t be happier.” Gonzales added he thinks the team will just continue to get stronger. “In my opinion, we can compete with any of the teams in (CIF Southern Section) Division II,” he said. “It showed from all the games we played. We had a big win

total and were very competitive in all of our games.” But it’s the guys on the team they make the job rewarding, he said. “We have some special, special arms in our program,” said Gonzales, 27. “It’s been a lot of fun. Just being around kids, they keep you young. It’s a great feeling.” And Gonzales explained why it was an easy choice leaving Temple City for Pasadena. “It was a move that everything fell into place,” he said. “The head coaching job at Temple City didn’t work out and Mike asked me to come over on his staff. He said he’d allow me to call
pitches and once he said that I was sold. For him to … give that up and entrust that in me, that was a great compliment. We put up numbers to back it up, so I think he made a good choice.” Parisi said Gonzales was just a real asset to have on the bench with him. “Michael did a heck of a job calling pitches for us this year,” Parisi said. “I felt like we really did well managing our games together. We seemed to be on the same page for most of the year. This was a great season for our program.” Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.

1969 was a momentous year in history. In addition to the Moon landing and Woodstock, another major event took place, albeit a little less heralded. The event was the birth of Blair Christopher to his loving father Joe Polk who was then residing at the Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. It was at the AFB hospital that Blair was born. After getting his MBA, Joe Polk obtained a position with the Xerox Corporation in Dallas, Texas, where he and Blair set up a new home. After spending two years in Dallas, the small family moved to Jackson, Mississippi, to open a new branch and was Joe was promoted to Branch Control Manager only later to start his own investment company when Blair was still a small boy. At approximately 8-9 years old Blair studied piano, as he had such a deep appreciation for music of all genres. But according to his Dad, Blair was a little lazy, didn’t want to practice and, although extremely talented, ultimately gave up playing forever. Blair and his dad Joe lived together for 34 years, since he was a 10-year-old boy. Blair developed schizophrenic symptoms early in life. “They grew progressively worse as he grew older,” Joe said. “Although he received good professional care, the treatment and medications were not effective. Every waking moment he heard voices that told him he was an evil person who should cut himself and kill himself.” Miraculously, Blair remained a kind and gentle soul who “was always concerned about my welfare and the welfare of others,” according to his father Joe. “It is impossible to imagine the mental pain Blair suffered throughout his life.” Blair joined the Air Force in 1981 at age 19. He made it through basic training but later separated from the Air Force at the request of Mental Health Services. After years of struggling, Blair with diagnosed Paranoid Schizophrenia. Joe began to do extensive research on the medical facilities available around the country and decided that Arcadia, Califor-

Board of Equalization sets utility property values for fiscal year 2014-15 Local governments will collect $1.075 billion in tax revenue in the upcoming fiscal year thanks to the California State Board of Equalization’s (BOE) assessment of privately owned public utilities and railroads. The values for these properties for Fiscal Year 2014-15 were set at $94.8 billion by the Board at its May 22, 2014 meeting in Sacramento. Total values are $3.4 billion more than the $91.4 billion adopted by the Board last year, and will generate approximately $40 million more in taxes for local governments than in the current fiscal year. Values were set for 409 companies with property in California. They include telephone (long distance, local, and wireless), gas and electric companies, railroads, and inter-county pipelines. While most properties are assessed by county officials, privately held public utilities are assessed by the BOE statewide. These properties are not subject to Proposition 13, and are
reappraised annually at their market value. A “unitary value” includes improvements, personal property, and land. A unitary valuation applies to properties owned or used by public utilities and railroads which are considered necessary to their operation. The BOE determines the fair market value on January 1st of each year by considering market conditions, use of the property, income generated by the property, replacement costs, investments in the property, regulatory climate, depreciation, and other factors. The values set by the BOE are used by county governments to levy local property taxes, which help support county governments, cities,special districts, and schools. Penalties are assessed for late or incomplete filings, or failure to file with the BOE. More information on the program is available at www.boe.ca.gov/proptaxes/sappcont.htm.
‘Listen…do you want to know a secret’ Assemblymember Chris Holden’s bill to extend California’s wiretapping “sunset” date for an additional five years was unanimously approved 75 to 0 on the Assembly floor late Tuesday. “With the evolution of the digital age, lawbreakers have become more clever and better organized, especially when it comes to drug and arms trafficking,” stated Assemblymember Holden. “That’s why it’s so important that law enforcement officials have an equally sophisticated response. By extending the sunset date, we’ll give our law enforcement teams additional tools to keep our
communities safe.” California’s wiretap statute is set to expire on January 1, 2015. According to a report released by the California Attorney General’s office, approximately 700 electronic interceptions were approved in 16 counties resulting in some 961 arrests were made in 2012. In San Diego County alone, approved intercepts resulted in the seizure of more than $1.3 million worth of drugs and the arrests of more than 50 suspects. AB 1526 received unanimous, bipartisan support and has no opposition.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on June 17, 2014 at 8:30AM in Dept. No. 11 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

Assembly approves Holden’s bill to stop thieves from making off with the new gold Assemblymember Chris Holden’s bill (D-Pasadena) to combat the growing problem of kitchen grease theft has passed by unanimous vote in the Assembly and now heads to the Senate. “Restaurants are finding that their used kitchen grease is a hot commodity that has sparked grease wars in a battle over who can cash in on the ‘liquid gold’ that is then converted into biodiesel fuel,” explained Assemblymember Holden. “This bill closes
a loophole in enforcement code that will make it easier to stop the bad players.” According to the California Department of Food and Agriculture, a typical fast-food restaurant produces 150-250 pounds of grease a week and a fully loaded pumper truck could bring in as much as $900 at a recycling center. Thieves often strike in the night and syphon off the used grease and sell it on the black market. AB 1566 gives law en-
forcement the tools they need to stop modern-day oil rustlers by beefing up requirements for licensed haulers, increasing the penalties for stealing grease and allowing law enforcement to impound vehicles for up to 15 days. About 3 billion pounds of used oil is produced in the U.S. each year. Biodiesel is a product of vegetable oil or animal fat mixed with alcohol that can be turned into usable engine fuel or added to regular diesel.
Songs and stories from the Old West An entertaining June program is in store for members and guests of the California Retired Teachers’AssociationDivision 71 (CalRTA #71-SGV). The Pennyroyal Players from the Palos Verdes Peninsula will perform “Piecin’ It Together,” songs and stories of the American West. Wearing period costumes and playing musical instruments that range from guitars to washboards, the six-member group will bring to life
a colorful era in our country’s past. A display of ten quilts forms a background for the performers. The CalRTA #71 luncheon meeting will take place on Friday, June 13, at 11:30 a.m. at the Senior Center Building in Arcadia Park (county park), 405 W. Santa Anita Avenue, Arcadia, next to the Lawn Bowling Greens. Guests are welcome to come for the luncheon and to enjoy the quilting entertainment. The cost of the lun-
cheon for members and guests is $10. For luncheon information, please call John Gera at (626) 286-0714 by June 6. Membership in the California Retired Teachers’ Association is open to all retired educators, as well as to any others interested in joining this active group, which now numbers over 500 members in CalRTA #71, the San Gabriel Valley Division. CalRTA’s motto continues to be “Your partner in pension protection.”
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.

Friends of Sierra Madre Civic Club: “We couldn’t do it without You” Each year, the members of the Sierra Madre Civic Club honor friends and family for their volunteer time and efforts to support our many Club events. During the 20132014 Civic Club year, 42 individuals earned a Certificate of Appreciation as a “We couldn’t do it without You” award. These volunteers do everything from hauling food, recyclables, tables, chairs, and yard sale items to bartending, emptying eggs, decorating for the luncheon, printing, and being docents at the Wistaria Festival. There is no job too large or too small for them to tackle. The Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team was designated by Club Members as the recipient of a $50 donation in honor of these Friends of the Sierra
Madre Civic Club. This past year’s exceptional volunteers were recognized at Civic Club’s May 15th Installation Banquet.

Duarte Kiwanis hears about Local Accountability Plan How many of our citizens understand the key change that has taken place in State Funding of our local schools? The Duarte Kiwanis Club now has a much better understanding. Joilyn Campitiello, District Ed Leader21 Coordinator did an excellent job in outlining the new criteria for funding as well as sharing DUSD’s initial LCAP draft plan. Joilyn is meeting with a number of organizations and groups to solicit input
on the plan and incorporate suggestions from parents, teachers and the public at large. Duarte has an excellent graduation rate from Duarte High School – in excess of 98% - and their plan is to maintain that rate and expand graduates on the college track completing those required classes. The plan also outlines how the District expects to improve and expand opportunities for English learners, children in
the Foster Care system and those participating in the free or reduced cost lunch program. All in all a great plan for all Duarte’s kids. The Duarte Kiwanis Club has lunch meetings the first, third and fifth Tuesdays of the month at Westminster Gardens. For further information on speaking or joining the club, contact Dr. Diane Hernandez at drdiane@ drhernandezoptometry. com.

seemed under threat in 2009. Millard Sheets, born in Pomona, was a painter and muralist whose works are throughout Southern California, including a number of the then-Home Savings branches. He died in 1989. His son removed and reinstalled his father's Pasadena mural in the 1980s, when the original Home Savings building was torn down and rebuilt. He got involved with Chase in
working to save the Pasadena mural after discovering one of his father's large murals had been painted over during remodeling of a Chase branch in the Bay Area in 2009. Sheets said the restoration has given new life to the Rose Parade mural, which is painted on 15 specially made walnut veneer panels. Some of the background had to be restained, he said, and the color had faded in places.
an associate pastor. He later disclosed that income when the omission was pointed out to him. The error was on Form 700, not employment, and when the omission was pointed out, he did file an amended Form 700 to disclose–which you are allowed to do, according to city officials. In addition, Dr. Walsh
received, like any employee who leaves, a final check for accrued leave, vacation, the final pay cycle, etc., to close out his payroll accounts. That amount was $19,336.11. These settlement figures are “gross” amounts not “net” and are subject to deductions & withholding for federal and state taxes,
CalPers, etc. The city of Pasadena released the following agreement made with Walsh after he resigned following a difficult couple of weeks for the city regarding Walsh’s ability to run a Health Dept. following the hate-filled sermons that appeared on YouTube.

Via Contento translated means “Happy Street.” This condo’s location is FANTASTIC, set in a beautiful courtyard which captures the essence of “Villa” in the Tijeras Creek Villas. What I found to be a real plus is that (for me) it is a quick 14 steps to its garage side door and the carport is viewable from one of the windows. Two bedrooms on opposite ends of the floor plan. The kitchen window views the courtyard and is open to the dining area and living room so you can be part of things when cooking. Good sized patio.
