Arcadia to deliberate Implementation of Phase 1 of prohibited water use at August 5 meeting Arcadia Public Works Director, Tom Tait, say that as a result of the State Water Board’s recent adoption of an Emergency Regulation for statewide urban water conservation, “the City of Arcadia will recommend at the August 5 City Council meeting the implementation of Phase 1 Prohibited Water Uses of the City’s Water Conservation Plan. These Phase I mandatory prohibitions will comply with the State’s use prohibitions, and are specific to Arcadia.” Many of the current voluntary conservation methods residents are already practicing are contained in Phase I, such as refraining from hosing off sidewalks, and adjusting watering schedules to prevent evaporation of water from landscaping. To date, water usage by Arcadia water customers has been comparable to usage last year. Although, the 20 percent water conservation goal issued in Please see page 12

Sierra Madre Rose Float Association President Robert Young, dead at 63 BY TERRY MILLER It was last Thursday when I first heard the news about Bob Young’s untimely death at age 63. I, along with countless others in the community he loved so dearly, had a difficult time grasping the information that Bob had, in fact, passed away. Perhaps the reason we all had such a difficult time was due to his infectious sense of humor--which often brought me to tears. Was it those silly glasses he’d wear, his leadership and enthusiasm for all things Sierra Madre, or

By Dorothy Denne Are you old enough to remember when an Uncle was either a blood relative or your Aunt's husband? How old does that have to be? When did the change begin? When was it that Uncle Somebody was more likely to be Mom's boyfriend than a member of the family? I've never been good at remembering dates. I remember people and incidents. The first time I was aware that a guy wasn't a real Uncle was when I was teaching in Michigan. That was near the end of the '50s. I lived and taught in middle-class suburbia. Dads wore white shirts and ties to work, the kids were watching Howdy Doody and Buffalo Bob and Moms' big
social event was the neighborhood Tupperware party. My students learned to read with Dick, Jane and Sally. Family life was thought to be perfect. One day one of my brightest, cheeriest little girls showed up red-eyed and swollen-faced. She finally whispered in my ear that Daddy and Mommy were getting a divorce. She was not only broken-hearted, she was totally ashamed and disgraced. None of the kids in our school had parents who were divorced. My cheery litle girl had developed bitter early maturity by the time she told me a few months later that Uncle Bill had moved in. She said, "He's not my real uncle. He's just the guy Mom sleeps with." In the early '60s I moved to California. The
geography was different and, by now, so was middle class suburbia. Uncles were becoming much more common. I thought the ultimate had come the day one of my students asked for 28 tickets for his family to attend our Spring performance. I was teaching fourth and fifth grade gifted and talented students. The performing arts were part of our curriculum so each spring we put on a two-evening special program to display our talents. I distributed tickets to keep attendance balanced. When Johnny asked for 28 tickets I said, "Wow, that's great. You must be bringing the whole neighborhood. He said, "No, just my Moms and Dads, my Grandpas and Grandmas and my brothers and sisters. Oh yeah. There's one Uncle coming too."

While Troop 551 went out for a hike and to work on their Leave No Trace award, they had a pair of eyes watching them. When hiking back to camp, Troop 551 came across large drag marks that crossed the road. Paw prints were not evident at the time as the drag marks erased them. Over the edge 551 Troop leaders could see a freshly killed doe. Our Cub Master Terry Lopez walked back to alert the Camp Master as to what had been found. Scout Master Bill Durini, Webelos Den Leader Erick Bonilla and Asst. Cub Master Mark Peters gathered up the Troop in a tight group
and hiked back to camp. Assistant Cub Master Mark Peters and his boys JohnMichael and Degas had to leave early and while driving down the road stopped near the place where the dear had been killed. Several leaders and the Camp Master were on the bridge peering through brush. They stated that you could see the mountain lion perched above her kill watching over it. According to Asst. Cub Master Mark Peters “She was lying in the high brush and keeping her eyes focused on us. I was grateful to be able to get the shot and be able to show it to the kids as not many of them have ever seen a mountain
lion in the wild. The difficult part was focusing between the high brushes to get a clear shot. The boys stayed in the car on the bridge with several other leaders there while the 2 other leaders and I were watching her.” Cub Master Terry Lopez stated “Unfortunately we had to stay in camp after discovering the mountain lion attack, no Saturday night hike, but we saw several foxes around our camp... [they] kept us occupied. I would like to thank our Leaders Mr. Durini, Mr. Peters, Mr. Bonilla and Parents and to our Scouts who completed their Project at Trask with no problem.”

Serving Leaders, Serving Teams A bi-monthly column by Heather Backstrom, Ed.D.
Plan ahead to avoid delays. july 25-28
Money Isn’t Everything Even though money is important, it’s not everything especially when it comes to employee engagement. In fact, pay increases can quickly be forgotten whereas performing meaningful work that leverages the natural skills, talents and interests of employees has staying power. Employee engagement is that sweet spot where employees feel an equal balance between their contributions and what they get in return. That is, alignment between contribution and pay. Why is employee engagement important? Because it boosts morale, deepens commitment and stimulates discretionary effort. Engaged employees are willing to go the extra mile and put in greater effort because they feel emotionally attached and committed to the job. Let’s consider some intrinsic strategies to do just that. The Right Person in the Right Job: Ensure your team members are in the right job by aligning their interests, strengths and skills with a role they find meaningful and challenging. Pay attention to the kind of work your employees enjoy and in which they excel, then look for opportunities to
keep giving them those types of assignments. While it may not be practical to move them into a new job altogether try to give them projects or responsibilities that feed into their sense of purpose and meaning, and that also benefits the company. Give Them Space: Now that the right person is in the right job (or at least the right assignment) give them the freedom and autonomy to do the work. Allow them to spread their wings and be fully responsible for the job. At the same time let them know you’re available for questions and guidance. Giving them autonomy fosters both personal and professional growth which boosts engagement. Keep the Future in the Present: For long-term commitment employees want to know their company is well led, is moving in a positive direction and has well defined strategic goals. It’s imperative that leaders keep employees abreast of where the company is heading and why. The “why” portion becomes all the more compelling when it’s clearly tied to the company’s mission and values. Keeping the future in the present by regularly conveying
where the company is headed and why, and how employees fit into the picture, helps foster engagement. Recognition and Appreciation: Feeling valued and appreciated is a basic human need. Leaders can boost employee engagement through giving recognition and expressing appreciation. This can come in a variety of ways including an email message or a handwritten note. Or it can have a more public flair to it such as a sincere thank you at a staff meeting, giving out a certificate or putting the employee’s name on a plaque. Regardless recognition and appreciation are most effective when it’s meaningful to the employee and it clearly describes their contribution. By focusing on these intrinsically driven strategies you’re sure to see a surge in employee engagement. The trick will be to continue to keep it up and to infuse even more ways to boost engagement.

The City Government of Sierra Madre has decided that since there is a statewide drought, there is a water supply shortage and they have decided to create a problem for the people that they are suppose to care for. First, let us state one basic fact. It is the government's job to supply the needs of the people. It is the job of the people to pay dearly for every gallon of water that they need to maintain their property, as well as their own bodies. What follows is information received from government sources. The people have historically used an average of 3,003 acre feet of water per year. This figure divided by the 12 months per year gives one a figure of 250 acre feet per month. It was publically stated by City Staff that while the City has supplied MWD

increase in the amount of buildup in our aquifer. NO WATER SHORTAGE!. The problem is the rust and dirt in the water being delivered to our homes from the use of MWD water being supplied directly to our water system. It is the City's information that, since this water contains chloridine , which is different than the chlorine originally used by the City, the result is rust and dirt in the supply from our old water mains. The government has decided to spend approximately $50,000 to hire a consultant in order to determine how much water from our aquifer to mix with the MWD water in order to eliminate the rust problem. The mixing was to take place in our main reservoir, but has not started as yet. This is complicated by the fact that the MWD water
is presently received from the Colorado River and the problem will change if and when the MWD starts to use water from our state's water supply. There is no guarantee that this approach will work. The City Staff knows that if the MWD water was put into our settling basins, that in approximately one month's time this water would reach our aquifer without any chioridine in the water. This would eliminate any guessing game and save the $50,000 that has been voted on by a 5-0 vote of the City Council. Of course, they should not be blamed because they are not supplied complete information by the City Staff. This form of piecemeal information being supplied to the City Council is nothing new. So, what is the problem? Sierra Madre Watchman

water to the people and shutdown all the water pumps that the supply in the aquifer has risen 46.5 feet in a period of nine month. This translates into 9,000 acre feet in the nine month period or an average of 1,000 acre feet per month. If you compare these two figures, then the people only use 25% of the amount of the supply without any form of conservation. To go further, it is stated that the City has supplied 1,400 acre feet of water from the MWD pipeline in a period of 8 months, which figures an average of 175 acre feet per month. This figure is a use ratio of 30% less usage of water per month by the people and the City's own use before the start of the conservation move. Either way, the water usage is only a small percentage of the amount of the
Iraqis ISIS, the western world would abandon them to the sorry fate that they chose for themselves and certainly not give them money nor any moral support. So why is it different for the Palestinians? Hamas, which has shown in recent days its sheer disregard for the lives of
the people that they are responsible for, did not come to power in a vacuum. Hamas, whose very raison d'être is anti-peace, anti-Jewish and dedicated to the destruction of Israel, was democratically elected by the Palestinian people. It is time for the international community
to recognize this fact, and make the message clear to the Palestinian people that while they support a Palestinian state, statehood comes with responsibilities. The last thing the world needs is another terrorist state. Michelle Moshelian Israel
President signs executive order banning discrimination against LGBT workers Rep. Adam Schiff (DCA), vice chair of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus (Equality Caucus), released the following statement after President signed an executive order last week prohibiting federal contractors and agencies from discriminating against employees on the bases of sexual orientation and gender identity: “With Republicans still unwilling to bring up the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in the House – despite bipartisan support during passage in the Senate – the President was right to act to protect LGBT workers in the federal government from being discriminated against. We should be using every avenue available to fight discrimination – it’s just the right thing to do. “Nevertheless, this does not free Congress from the
responsibility to pass ENDA and protect all workers from discrimination and we must continue to call for such action, and work to narrow the exemption granted to religious organizations.” Schiff earlier led an effort urging President Obama to issue such an Executive Order. The announcement is an important step towards ending discrimination against LGBT employees and ensuring that they are judged based on the quality of their work and not because of who they are or who they love. The executive order, when implemented, will only protect employees of federal contractors and federal agencies. Schiff is an original co-sponsor of the bipartisan Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which passed the U.S. Senate in November 2013.
ENDA currently has 205 cosponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Employment NonDiscrimination Act would establish basic protections in the workplace to prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. There are currently only 18 states (including California) and the District of Columbia that prohibit discrimination on bases of sexual orientation and gender identity, and an additional 3 states that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. ENDA would provide a basic level of protection against workplace discrimination in a manner modeled closely on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and would apply to private employers as well as local, state, and federal government employers.

Pasadena Central Library façade restoration project
Pasadena’s Central Library’s magnificent south façade is impressive to residents and visitors alike. On Sunday, September 14 from 5 to 7 p.m. The Friends of the Pasadena Public Library and the Pasadena Public Library Foundation will co-host a cocktail party in Central Library’s Great Hall, 285 E. Walnut St. to raise funds to restore the eye-catching “face” of the building that overlooks Walnut Street and the historic civic center. Why is restoration needed? Consider the history of Central Library. Ninety years ago, ten architectural firms competed for the privilege of designing it; the commission was awarded to the firm of Myron Hunt and H.C. Chambers. Construction began in 1925, the date inscribed over the front entrance. Dedicated two years later, the library now ranks on the National Register of Historic Places. The last restoration took place between 1984 and 1990, funded in large measure by the Pasadena Public Library Foundation. Now the magnificent arched windows, stonework and exterior wall of the south façade are in critical need of restoration, repair and painting
Leanne Powers, Job Developer for Santa Anita Family Services, provided quite an overview of their new Youth Employment Program to the Duarte Kiwanis Club. Santa Anita Family Services recently received WIA funding (Workforce Investment Act) to provide services to help underprivileged youth gain employment skills. The goal of the program is to connect with
these youth and achieve one of the following outcomes: Obtain a High School Diploma or GED or post-secondary degree or certificate, Placement in Post-Secondary Education and/or Paid Employment, Increase Reading and/or Math Skills (for out of school youth). The club learned of a number of ways the com-
munity can connect with the program ranging from youth referrals to donations of workappropriate clothing, to providing space for training. The Duarte Kiwanis Club has lunch meetings the first, third and fifth Tuesdays of the month at Westminster Gardens. For further information contact Dr. Diane Hernandez at drdiane@drhernandezoptometry.com.

due to decades of sun exposure and general weathering. Funds raised from this event will restore the façade to its former glory. The fundraising gala will highlight the year-long celebration of 130 Years of Reading in Pasadena. Tickets for the event are $130 each and available for purchase through the Pasadena Community Foundation website; www.pasadenacf. org. Pasadena Public Library is extremely grateful to the two hosts for their sponsorship of this event, The Friends of the Pasadena Public Library and the Pasadena Public Library Foundation, true friends
and supporters of the library. The Friends of the Pasadena Public Library, founded in 1975, funds the library’s programs, special services and cultural events. Pasadena Public Library Foundation, now an endowment fund of the Pasadena Community Foundation, was established 31 years ago to refurbish and maintain the beautiful and historic Central Library building. Tickets and donations benefiting the organization are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. For more information, contact Catherine Hany at (626) 744-4207 or chany@cityofpasadena.net.

Alhambra - When you decide to sell your home, setting your optimal asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Price is often the first thing a prospective buyer sees, and many homes are passed over as “not in our price range” before the home even has a chance of being shown. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make an excellent first impression.
This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. Comparing against what other homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part of the process, and by itself is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision. A recently study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need).” This report will help PAID ADVERTISEMENT

National Latino Family Expo® helps with dental care too
One of Southern California’s largest dental service companies demonstrated its commitment to the Hispanic community by providing 300 free oral health screenings for children at the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) National Latino Family Expo® in Los Angeles that took place on July 19-21, 2014. Dentists were onsite to provide com-
plimentary screenings and fluoride treatments in order to help families understand the importance of preventive dental care. “We are committed to improving the oral health of every member of the diverse communities we serve,” said Louis J. Amendola, D.D.S., Western Dental’s chief dental director. “The NCLR Expo was a great opportu-
nity for us to reach families in need of essential dental services.” Western Dental’s sponsorship and participation is part of the company’s commitment to oral health care for the Latino population it serves on a daily basis. More than 180 dental clinics in the Western Dental family are located in predominantly Latino communities.
Making a difference, one pet at a time... It takes someone who cares As part of our continuing desire to focus on those in our community who care for unwanted animals, we are highlighting here the work that animal rescue organizations and individuals do in helping homeless pets find homes.

Baby Theo-Call 626-676-9505 Leaving unwanted animals to fend for themselves in empty lots, freeway offramps, arroyos, or other wild places is a terrible and inhumane idea, and usually results in a suffering death. Also, abandoning them at pet stores and vet offices in the end results in higher prices for products and services. Rescuing an animal leads to a huge amount of time, love, and money to properly care for it and either hopefully find it a home where it will be truly treasured, or, if not adopted, have the means to care for it the rest of its life. It takes several rescuers to get to that point. Best advice: Think carefully and plan ahead, as outlined above!

Make sure someone will take your pet if you become unable to care for it or if you move to a place that does not allow animals. Have a contingency plan in place. The two stories here represent millions more: Tiny baby “Jujube” was found abandoned near a dumpster behind a large pet store. An employee brought her in and called us. The little one was quite ill, and took several weeks at the veterinary hospital we use, to regain her health. Thankfully, she is now thriving and was recently adopted. Two other cases were newborns Theodore and Flower. Both had been found in a garden. Their mother had likely been taken by coyotes. Lifeline For Pets was called, and we were able to help. Bottlefeeding unweaned babies is a “round-the-clock” task, with several required steps to mimic what the mother would do. Bottle-babies cannot be left alone, and are highly susceptible to disease. Both started out doing well, but then, sadly, little Flower suddenly died. This is always a blow to the foster family, who invest so much love and time into giving them the best possible care. Baby Theo, however, did well. Now, at 9 weeks old, he is thriving! He has

Hottest tour in town is in Irwindale By Shel Segal
Mini tour buses were stationed outside the Sriracha factory on Azusa Canyon Road in Irwindale, given the job of providing visitors a tour of the hot sauce plant, according to a published report. The two 14-seat golf carts – called Hot 1 and Hot 2 – were giving visitors a comfortable look at the plant, a company official said, adding they were also keeping with the hot sauce spirit by being painted the same color as the hot chili sauce. With the busy chili grinding season starting in August, Huy Foods CEO David Tran said he is anticipating a steady trove of visitors coming to the plant to see the bright red jalapeno peppers get crushed into sauce. Those peppers are grown by Underwood Ranches in Kern and Ventura counties. In addition, a job fair was held on Friday at the plant by a staffing agency to hire 50 seasonal workers for the 16-week
grinding season, when the factory runs three shifts six days a week, according to that report. The report added the factory now offers “The Rooster Room,” featuring kitschy merchandise with the famous logo of a bird. The room will sell T-shirts, socks, bags, hats, underwear, coffee mugs and posters from companies that use the Huy Fong logo. “The Rooster Room” was a late addition because Tran said he wanted to focus just on making sauce. However, he said visitors to the plant were asking where they could buy Sriracha souvenirs. Visitors have also been asking for a tasting room, according to their surveys. “Since Tran opened the doors to his plant in February amid a legal battle with the city of Irwindale and complaints that harsh chili odors seeping from the factory caused health concerns, more than 1,200 visitors have toured

the plant,” according to that report. Visitors to the plant have then come far and wide, including a Texas state representative and state senator, a congressman from the San Fernando Valley and Irwindale’s mayor and city officials, who declared the plant a public nuisance, according to that report. Visitors have also come from Hawaii, Japan, Thailand and Canada. If you’re really excited about the chili grind-
ing season, the company is hosting an open house on Aug. 22 and 23. And all in Irwindale will be anxious to see “if the filtration system that Tran has installed is effective once the plant begins grinding the chilies,” according to that report. To schedule a tour or to visit the Rooster Room, call (626) 286-8328. (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com. He can be followed via Twitter @ segallanded.)

FCC votes to expand internet access for schools and libraries
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson applauded a ruling by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Friday that marks a major step toward preparing students for the global economy by expanding Internet access for schools and libraries. The FCC voted today to modernize the E-rate program and boost support for wireless connectivity for schools and libraries. This action is designed to expand wireless access, make E-rate dollars go further, and deliver faster, simpler, and more efficient applications and other processes. Known formally as the federal Schools and Libraries Program, E-rate established a surcharge on longdistance telephone bills in 1997 that provides discounts to assist schools and libraries in obtaining affordable telecommunications and Internet access. “Our schools, society, and economy thrive on interconnectivity,” Torlakson said. “Today’s action will not only
help narrow the digital divide among students, but also help us reach and teach every child so they will be prepared for the world that awaits them.” Torlakson has championed efforts to update E-rate. In March 2012, he convened his Education Technology Task Force to bring 21st century tools into California's classrooms so that no child is left offline. He has also brought together other state superintendents via the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) to work together on this issue. Last September, Torlakson went to Washington, D.C., to push for increased federal assistance to provide broadband access for all students and schools across California. While there, he cochaired the CCSSO's Digital Learning Task Force to discuss and meet with members of the FCC, the White House, and the U.S. Department of Education. He also met with U.S. Senators to discuss Erate. In June of last year,
-Photo by Terry Miller
President Barack Obama proposed modernizing the E-rate program as part of his ConnectED initiative, which Torlakson at the time called "a huge step in the right direction." The FCC opened a public comment period soon afterward. Torlakson encouraged local superintendents and other education stakeholders across California to weigh in, and the California Department of Education also submitted its comments. Among the state's priorities are expanding the program; making it easier to apply for and receive funding; ensuring the flexibility to
take advantage of future technologies; distributing funding according to highest-priority needs; and allowing for adequate bandwidth to support wireless access as schools continue moving toward a one-toone computer ratio. For more information on today’s vote, visit the Federal Communications Commission’s Web site. For information on how the state uses the Schools and Libraries Program and the California Teleconnect Fund to provide telecommunications discounts to schools in the state, visit the California Department of Education’s E-rate Web page.

Baby boomers learning photography and social media for the first time are opening new doors of communication with family and friends, and are finding inspiration resulting in artistic commentaries that celebrate their personal and collective stories, values, and cultural neighborhoods. Unfortunately, a majority of them lack their own cameras, and Theatre of Hearts, the nonprofit providing the 12-week class for free, can only provide loaner cameras for participants. Theatre of Hearts is seeking the donations of 50 digital cameras so it can provide participants with permanent ones, which will enable them to continue with photography after they finish the class. Called the Creative Aging in Residence (CAAIR) class, it marks Theatre Of Heart’s newest initiative and its first
for seniors. The non profit deploys professional fine arts photographers to teach the classes. “The populations we are serving have no prior experience in fine art photography and lack the resources to take a class of this nature,” said Theatre Of Hearts Director and Founder, Sheila Scott-Wilkinson. “By providing CAAIR class for free, these baby boomers are not only learning the ways digital cameras, technology and social media function, they are also seeing the world through the eyes of an artist.” Theatre of Hearts respectively asks that donors provide functional new or used digital cameras, including charger for battery and memory. Tax deductible receipts are provided. For more information on how to donate, contact the non profit at 213-384-6878.
In addition to improvements in memory and cognitive ability, feedback from program participants on the social benefits is a powerful testimony to the impact the program is providing: “I am a senior revisiting what I did as a youth,” said Debbie Prohias, an Arcadia County Park participant “Technology has mushroomed from what we had before. I can't wait for the next class; there is so much to learn. It has opened up a great vista, it is another way to express myself. People should take this class because of the ability to socialize. When I walk down the street, I can open up a conversation and meet people. It's an artistic thing." "Even though we're all neighbors, none of us really knew each other,” said Lillie Jones at Seasons at Compton, LINC Housing. “After
Everyday is an open house:
taking this class and working and learning and laughing together each week. We've become like a little family." “I am writing, and thinking about photojournalism. My sister and I are exchanging our works, and it is really fun,” said Pamela Troumbly, a participant at Glendale Adult Recreation Center. Wanda McGuire, a student at St. Barnabas Center for Seniors, Pico Union, shared, “This was a very informative and enlightening class. I loved learning to use my camera, about lines and texture and ways to work with light, shadow, and color.” New classes begin in September. The CAAIR class is funded by The James Irvine Foundation-Exploring Engagement Fund. More information is available at www.theatreofhearts.org.

Pasadena Water & Power to implement Phase 1 Water Shortage
Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) officials are recommending that the Pasadena City Council determine a local water emergency exists and to implement the Level 1 Water Supply Shortage Plan at its July 28, 2014 meeting. The recommendation supports the July 15, 2014 State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) approval to mandate actions to conserve water supplies throughout California. Under Pasadena’s water waste prohibitions ordinance Chapter 13.10, the Level 1 shortage plan limits outdoor watering to three days per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays during summer months and requires water leaks to be fixed within 72 hours. To declare a Level 1 shortage, the City must hold a public hearing and receive City Council approval. The Council is currently scheduled for its July 21, 2014 meeting to consid-
er setting the actual hearing for the City Council’s next regularly scheduled meeting July 28, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber, 100 N. Garfield Ave., Second Floor. The State Water Board decision requires statewide adoption of four water waste restrictions that are already in place in Pasadena. “As early adopters of these measures, the City believes it’s important for everyone conserve water. These new regulations will ensure that everyone in the state will join Pasadena residents in this important effort,” said Eric Klinkner, PWP Chief Deputy General Manager. The City approved 13 permanent water waste prohibitions in 2009 as part of Chapter 13.10 ordinance. These measures will remain in effect under the Level 1 Shortage, including: • No watering outdoors between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., except with a hand-
held container or hose with a shut-off nozzle. • No watering during periods of rain. • No excessive water flow or runoff onto pavement, gutters or ditches from watering or irrigating landscapes or vegetation of any kind. • No washing down paved surfaces unless for safety or sanitation, in which case a bucket, a hose with a shut-off nozzle, a cleaning machine that recycles water or a low-volume/high-pressure water broom must be used. • No washing vehicles except by using a hand-held bucket or similar container or hose equipped with a water shut-off nozzle A complete list of Pasadena’s water waste restrictions is available at PWPweb.com/WaterWaste Fines for repeat offenders can be up to $500 per violation for residential customers, and up to $1,000 per violation for all non-residential accounts.
Titanium toilet scam in Crown City gets Royal Flush Apparently some Pasadena Water and Power (“PWP”) customers have been approached by a company named Titanium Power, an active vendor in Southern California, which is offering toilet replacements at no cost to the resident, according to a memo sent to City Manager Michael Beck. Titanium Power employees make door-to-door visits and line up toilets in neighborhoods throughout the city. The company often misrepresents themselves as “partners” of the city, providing city logos on their flyers and other misleading
information in an attempt to coerce residents into replacing their toilets. PWP stresses that it is not affiliated with Titanium Power. They have not “partnered” with PWP, nor are they “working with” PWP. Titanium Power has been distributing and installing toilets and then submitting claims for a $200 rebate offered by Metropolitan Water District as part of PWP’s water conservation program. PWP is not responsible for the products provided and installed by Titanium Power. Like with any contractor, PWP encourages residents

fountains, washing vehicles and other outdoor uses. Elaine Aguilar, Sierra Madre City Manager, said the board actually did not approve fines, rather regulations, that extend to local agencies. “So, the enforcement responsibilities are on local government and local water suppliers,” Aguilar said. “Someone found to be in violation of the prohibitions are subject to a fine of up to $500 for each day the violation occurs. However, local agencies, such as Sierra Madre, have the ability to determine the best course of action. For example, cities may opt to issue a smaller fine to firsttime violators or issue a warning citation indicating that further action may be taken should violations continue.” She added enforcing the measures is difficult due to staffing limitations. “Regarding Sierra Madre’s resources to enforce the new regulations, we do not have the resources to dedicate a full-time employee to enforcement activities, but we can achieve enforcement by authorizing a number of different
departments to enforce the ordinance,” Aguilar said. “Enforcement can be handled by a combination of public works, police and planning/code enforcement staff, and there is also a role for volunteers to assist in identifying violations and to assist with public outreach and education.” Steve Preston, San Gabriel city manager, said as it gets water from a variety of sources it will be difficult to work within the new measures. “The unique challenge for San Gabriel – one of those communities in the valley that does not have a municipally operated water system – is that we have five different water companies, public and private, operating within our city limits,” Preston said. “So, it will take some collaboration between our staff and those five providers to figure out the best way to enforce regulations that will be fair, reasonable, and not pit residents against one another.” In Arcadia, Tom Tait, public works services director, said the city has been trying to cut its water usage by 20 percent for some time.
to obtain multiple quotes, check references, and check product reviews. Pasadena residents may select any vendor when participating in any of PWP’s rebate programs, including the toilet replacement. Residents, or their vendors, may apply for a $200 high efficiency toilet rebate at SoCalWaterSmart. com. PWP will continue to offer increased rebates for water-saving devices.

Phase 1 of prohibited water use Continued from page 1
February by the City Council was not achieved, it is important to note that there was about 60 percent less rainfall this year compared to last year. It is reasonable to assume that Arcadia water customers did indeed conserve outdoor water consumption through efficient
use during periods of sparse or no rainfall. Arcadia’s current conservation program via the Public Works Services Department will continue to encourage residents to use water efficiently and will inform residents of potential water waste practices and
ways to reduce their indoor and outdoor water consumption. For more information on the Drought or a list of the Phase 1 mandatory prohibitions, go to ci.arcadia. ca.us or contact the Public Works Services Department at (626) 256-6551.

“In February 2014, the city adopted a resolution calling on all water customers to cut water usage by 20 percent,” Tait said. “In order to reach the 20 percent goal, residents were asked to monitor outdoor water usage by curtailing activities such as hosing off driveways and sidewalks, adjusting sprinkler timing, and fixing any water leaks on their properties in a timely manner. To date, water usage by Arcadia water customers has been comparable to usage last year.” He added as that figure is difficult to reach, conservation is taking place. “Although, the 20 percent water conservation goal was not achieved, it is important to note that there was about 60 percent less rainfall this year compared to last year,” he said. “It is reasonable to assume that Arcadia water customers did indeed conserve outdoor water consumption through efficient use during periods of sparse or no rainfall.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@ beaconmedianews.com.

dining & entertainment Cal Phil Chorale takes center stage during Magic, Fantasy and Adventure
Magic, Fantasy and Adventure, the third concert of Maestro Victor Vener and his California Philharmonic’s 2014 Summer Season, already has people singing praise for the captivating program that mixes suites of music from The Lion King, Beauty & The Beast and The Little Mermaid along with classical masterpieces such as Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Bach’s Toccata and Fugue. J o i n ing the world class orchestra for the concert is the acclaimed 100plus member-strong Cal Phil Chorale, led for the past seven seasons by the multi-talented Chorus Maestra Marya Basaraba. Known as “The Voice of Cal Phil,” Cal Phil Chorale is composed of some of California’s best choral singers, whose beautiful sound is the perfect complement to the rich, sumptuous tones of the California Philharmonic. “I personally select, prepare and deliver the chorus to Maestro Vener as an 'instrument'! Just as the brass players create a section, as the violins, violas, celli and bass players make up a section; the chorus is section, an instrument that becomes part of the overall ensemble,” said Basaraba, who also operates a private voice studio in Pasadena and serves as the Director of Music Ministries at Grace Lutheran Church and the Choir Director at Temple Akiba, both in Century City, as well as serving as the Resident Chorus Maestra of the Golden State Pops Orchestra among others. “I have a
huge roster of singers who have joined us for previous seasons and many of them start writing to me early in the New Year to inquire about the Cal
Phil Chorale. It's very gratifying to have so many people who plan their summer schedules around the Cal Phil season!” Calling Maestro Vener “a master of programming,” Basaraba reflects on the opening concert of this season which included a fabulous rendition of the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky featuring the Cal Phil Chorale singing in Russian what was originally scored for a cello quartet. “It was absolutely stunning,” said Basaraba. “I was totally enthralled by the whole work and could not have been more thrilled to have prepared the Chorale for this extraordinary arrangement.” This weekend and next, audiences have more opportunities to delight in, and undoubtedly sing along with, the Cal Phil Chorale during Magic, Fantasy and Adventure on July 26 at Santa Anita Race Track and August 3 at

Walt Disney Concert Hall. In addition to performing songs from Disney favorites Beauty And The Beast, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid, the concert includes a phenomenal arrangement of music from the film, The Mission, in an orchestral suite that features the Chorale. “Cal Phil Chorale Maestra Marya Basaraba is not only a brilliant Chorus Master but a spectacular soloist,” said Maestro Vener. “She and the Chorale are tremendous assets to the California Philharmonic and to creating many memorable moments in our concerts.” “From our first collaboration in 2008, the orchestra has been tremendously acknowledging of this Chorale which I can tell you, is quite uncommon,” continued Basaraba. “The Chorale’s enthusiasm, love and support have been absolutely awesome over the years and never as precious as when I am called to the stage by Victor to share the bow with them either as a solo artist or simply as their Maestra!” Audiences throughout Southern California have options to attend extremely different experiences of Cal Phil’s one-of-a-kind concerts at two iconic venues; every other Saturday evening at Santa Anita Race Track on the infield with the beautiful unobstructed backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains or Sunday matinees at Los Angeles’ most vaunted music destination, the incomparable Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Barry McGuire stepped into the public eye in 1963 on the Andy Williams Show as the gravelly-voiced lead singer of The New Christy Minstrels. He launched his musical career with the million-sellers, "Green, Green" and "Green Back Dollar." In 1965, at the heart of the peace movement, McGuire went solo. His growing awareness of social hypocrisy was expressed in his third hit "Eve of Destruction" which
echoed around the world as an anthem of the times. Three years later, Barry was cast as the male lead in the original Broadway production of "Hair." Once again his voice was heard proclaiming the ideals of a radical generation. Dick Clark said, "When world events collide with 'Rock & Roll,' you get Barry McGuire." In the early '70s, Barry's life took a new direction. Having found his answer to the
"Eve of Destruction,” as he describes it, "by stumbling into the Fullness of Truth," he left Hollywood and set out to do whatever he could to bring about positive change. Barry's transformation is exemplified in the lyrics of his music, which focus on the importance of family, the value of children, and Barry's personal journey through life.

'Citizen Tanouye' documents Japanese-Americans’ plight during WWII A film by Robert Horsting and Craig Yahata Citizen Tanouye follows the life-changing journey of eight Torrance High School students who set out to uncover the story of Ted Tanouye, a JapaneseAmerican Torrance High School alumnus, World War II hero, and Medal of Honor recipient. As the ethnically diverse group dig in to discover Tanouye's story they uncover the civil rights abuses suffered by Japanese-Americans such as Tanouye's family during the war years. The students plowed through archival materials, searched online, and conducted insightful interviews with war veterans to get to the bottom of what Tanouye and his family experienced. Tech/Sergeant Ted Tanouye died at the age of 24 as a result of wounds received from a mine blast during combat. He was a
member of the renowned 442nd Regimental Combat Team, comprised mostly of Japanese-American soldiers. Tanouye's valiant act ions earned him the accolades of his fellow soldiers and many posthumously awarded medals, including the Medal of Honor. Tanouye's family was incarcerated at internment camps with other Japanese-Americans, including confinements at both Jerome War Relocation Center and Rohwer Relocation Center, even as he served and eventually died an American war hero. The students bring Tanouye's story into sharp focus as the relevance of his experiences to their own lives becomes all too apparent. Documentary filmmaker and Glendale resident Robert Horsting produced and co-directed the film with
Craig Yahata. His work on the film germinated from his voluntary participation in the Hanashi Oral History Program of the Go For Broke National Education Center, designed to preserve the legacy of Japanese -American soldiers in the US Army during WWII. He was moved by how openly the veterans shared their life experiences and what they had done to prove their loyalty. Original music for the film was composed by Stephen James Taylor. The documentary film Citizen Tanouye will be screened on August 14,2014 at 7:00 pm at the Glendale Central Library, 222 E. Harvard, Glendale. The presentation is free and open to the public.

dining & entertainment ‘Tomorrow's Forecast ‘ Kicks off ‘Mi-Fi Mondays’ at Red White + Bluezz - July 28
1972 is playing big at SM Playhouse’s “6 RMS RIV VU” summer romantic comedy
By Terry Miller
By Fran Syverson
There’s an astounding music scene in Pasadena but not everyone yet knows about the latest really cool gig which will kick start July 28 at the popular Red White and Bluezz next to Pasadena Playhouse. It is actually a great marriage of musicians and food industry professionals who want a night away- for those in the business to let their hair down, so to speak. The new patio will be open and the band invites area musicians to bring an instrument and jam with some of the top names in the business. Some might call it "Smooth Jazz" others "Contemporary" to some "Neo Soul." But in the blending of Jazz, Funk, R&B and Blues the band Tomorrow’s Forcast likes to think of it as "Groove Music". “Whatever style we happen to be floating in the music will keep your feet tapping and your ears smiling! We are very fortunate to have a few of LA's Best session Cats here to groove for YOU! We invite you to evening of great music that's promises to be good to your Earhole!!” Touch Singleton said. The band features talented and well-seasoned, accomplished musicians: Touch Singleton: Guitars; Derrick Murdock, Bass; Menno De Boer, keyboards and Tray Potts : Drums Touch Singleton has played with: Rose Royce, Phillip Bailey, Earth, Wind and Fire., Billy Davis Marilyn Mc Coo, Helen Baylor, Ramsey Lewis' Urban
Knights, Howard Mc Cary, Donald Bell, Visions and Mass Groove Syndicate. Derrick Murdock has performed with: Dr Dre, Will Smith, Heuy Lweis, Rose Royce, Mandrill, Jim Carrey, Bill Cosby Solomon Burke, Peter Frampton, The Jazz Crusanders, Frank Gambale, Tom Scott, Eric Marienthal, Cherrell, The Dazz Band, Deniece Williams, Andre Crouch, Bobby Caldwell, Angela Bofill, David Boneit, Hugh Masekela, Bobby Lyle, Jon Lucien and Jason Miles. Tray Potts has played with Jill Scott, Mike Phillips, Kelly Price, Whitney Houston, Faith Evans, Kenny Lattamore Anthony Hamiton, Yo Yo , Montell Jordan, Deniece Williams, Taste of Honey, Tamia, Pretty Ricky, Dar-
rell Crawford and Pleasure P. And last but by no means least, Menno De Boer: keyboards, has an illustrious history too: A composer/producer who graduated from Rotterdam Conservatory, Menno enjoyed chart success in Europe, before moving out to Kenya, where he worked as a composer/engineer for East Africa’s largest AV-production facility. Menno came to the USA in 2011, and is steadily gaining wider recognition in the LA music scene. This is an opportunity to see and meet some great area musicians, Tell ‘em Pasadena Independent sent you! Red White + Bluezz is located at 37 South El Molino in Pasadena.

Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza opens in Monrovia Thursday with free pizza Saturday Blaze Fast Fire’d Pizza has announced the Thursday, July 24 opening of its newest location in Monrovia at the Foothill Park Plaza shopping center.

Monrovia Blaze pizza will be operated by Team Blaze Inc., a franchise group led by franchisee Reza Medali.
6 RMS RIV VU was the 1972 newspaper ad that attracted home-seekers to check out the attractive Manhattan apartment overlooking the Hudson. After other prospective tenants have left, two people married—but not to each other—find, to their consternation, that the front doorknob is missing and they are somehow trapped in the apartment. Remember: No cell phones in 1972! They’ll have to wait out the night for rescue. Of course, they begin to chat about why each wants the 6 RMS RIV VU apartment. And about their lives—he’s an advertising copywriter—she a housewife, perhaps a bit bored and restless. Sometimes it’s easier to talk about intimate things to a stranger than to a friend, or even a spouse. They find they have common interests; they banter with brilliant repartee, and even begin to sense a

chemistry between them. The night stretches on…. The Sierra Madre Playhouse offers this romantic comedy as its summer fare on weekends between August 1and September 6.

Look for vintage 1972 items as you await the opening curtain or enjoy refresh-
ments. In a fun ploy, the Playhouse is offering all tickets purchased in August for $19.72. That’s the year that 6 RMS RIV VU premiered on Broadway. The $19.72 price is a pleasant savings from regular adult and senior ticket prices, and tickets can be used on any date throughout the run.

Pic falls foul of the elements during challenging Hockenheim weekend
-Image Courtesy of Dutch Photo Agency
Arthur Pic’s seasonbest qualifying performance went unrewarded during a frustrating sixth GP2 Series round at Hockenheim last weekend (July 18-20) when an oil pressure issue – caused by the hot weather – ended his chances of scoring a first podium in Saturday’s Feature Race. The conditions then caused further problems for the Frenchman on Sunday when the arrival of rain just before the 45-minute Sprint Race ultimately led to his early retirement after an eyecatching initial fight back. The Campos Racing driver’s weekend got off to a solid start on Friday morning by demonstrating strong pace throughout both free practice sessions. Despite being unfamiliar with Germany’s Grand Prix venue, Pic then finished sixth during the afternoon’s qualifying session after edging out his stand-in team-mate and GP2 race winner Alexander Rossi. A good start to Saturday’s Feature Race saw Pic challenge Williams F1 reserve driver Felipe Nasr for fourth heading into Turn 1, before the Brazilian regained his position. Finishing the lap fifth, Arthur was comfortably keeping pace with the frontrunners, despite starting on Pirelli’s yellow-marked soft tires in the searing hot conditions. Lap 11 saw Pic make his mandatory stop for the harder medium compound rubber. However, Hocken-
heim’s punishing heat had taken its toll on Campos’ #26 machine and caused the oil pressure to drop dramatically as Arthur came to a halt inside his pit box. To make matters worse, the issue would cost the Frenchman a minute after his V8 powerplant automatically shut down. Raffaele Marciello – pitting behind Pic – experienced a similar problem at the same moment. Although able to reclaim a couple of positions thereafter, the delay inevitably saw Arthur tumble down the order and ultimately take the checkered flag 19th. To rub salt into the 22-year-old’s wounds, Mitch Evans had utilized a similar strategy en route to victory, adjusting his own pit-stop procedure after the Kiwi was informed of Pic and Marciello’s mechanical gremlins. Further bad luck then led to Pic’s retirement on Sunday after a heavy shower prompted a late dash to the garage for radiator cooling adjustments prior to the start. But as he attempted to return to the grid, a red light at the end of the pit-lane forced him stop and line up dead last. On a sodden circuit, Pic wisely elected to start on wet weather tires while others gambled on dry rubber. It appeared to pay off as he passed 11 cars in 10 laps, before switching to slicks as a drying racing line began to emerge. But upon exiting the pits Arthur was caught
off-guard by Simon Trummer, with the subsequent loss of momentum and cold tires causing him to spin into early retirement. “I’m obviously frustrated at missing out on a great opportunity this weekend,” admitted Arthur. “I felt we could challenge for a podium finish on Saturday. We can take slight consolation from the fact Evans was on a similar strategy – yet much further behind us – before the pit window opened. When stopping in the box I should have maintained a higher level of revs, which would have prevented the engine from going into safety mode. After hearing about a similar problem for Marciello, Mitch was able to take the necessary steps during his own pit-stop. But that’s the way motor racing is sometimes. “However, there’s also lots of good things to focus on from this weekend,” he added. “Our race pace was really strong and I was glad to secure my season’s best result in qualifying, although it’s a shame we couldn’t exploit our potential. With the championship moving straight on to Budapest, I have an opportunity to bounce back and hopefully return to the sharp end.” Pic will hope to continue moving forward when the GP2 Series visits the Hungaroring this weekend (July 25-27).

City, state, and community leaders unite to create “Yellow Alert” system; Launch three-pronged attack on Los Angeles’ hit-and-run epidemic
CONGRATULATIONS! TO OUR WEEKLY WINNER
Members of the local media are invited to attend a press conference hosted by Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles) to announce groundbreaking new partnerships to address the epidemic of hitand-run offenses in Los Angeles and across California, including the creation of a “Yellow Alert” system to engage the public in bringing hit-and-run offenders to justice. Assemblyman Gatto will be joined by Los Angeles City Councilman Mitchell Englander (CD-12), representatives of the Office of Mayor Eric Garcetti, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, and hit-and-run survivor and founder of the Finish the Ride street-safety movement Damian Kevitt as they announce their support for Gatto’s legislation to increase penalties for hit and run-offenders and create a statewide emergencyalert system for hit-and-run offenses. Englander proposed a similar alert system for the City of Los Angeles earlier this year and has been working with LAPD to implement the proposal locally. In addition to supporting legal and systemic changes statewide, a new coalition of elected leaders, law enforcement, and local organizations is forming to
launch a public-education campaign aimed at creating safer streets for all Angelenos. The partnership is a first in Los Angeles’ history and represents a historic turning point in the years-long effort to address the declining feeling of safety on LA’s streets, sidewalks, and other thoroughfares. Hit-and-Run Press Conference Wednesday, July 23, 2014 1-1:30 p.m. Los Angeles City Hall – South Lawn 200 N. Spring St. South Lawn (facing First Street) Los Angeles, CA 90012 Los Angeles and its surrounding communities are in the grips of a hitand-run epidemic. The Los Angeles Police Department records approximately 20,000 hit-and-runs each year, with about a fifth of those resulting in injuries or death to the victim. The epidemic has become so bad that nearly half of all vehicle crashes in the city are hit-and-runs, compared to the national average of 11 percent. Assemblyman Mike Gatto has been leading the movement to stop hit-andrun drivers in Los Angeles and across California. Gatto is the author of AB 47, which would create a “Yellow Alert” system to help catch hit-and-run offenders, and AB 1532, which would expand hit-and-run penal-
ties to include automatic license suspension for motorists who flee the scene of any accident involving another person. Last year, he authored AB 184, which doubled the statute of limitations to prosecute hit-and-run drivers. He has also supported local movements to raise awareness of the hit-and-run epidemic, including Finish the Ride, a charity ride created by the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition and Damian Kevitt, the survivor of a brutal hit-and-run in Gatto’s district last year. The success of events like Finish the Ride, and the growing public sentiment on the need to address this epidemic has also prompted action from local elected officials. Councilman Englander and Councilman Joe Buscaino have each introduced resolutions to support State legislative efforts and instructed LAPD to report on what the department is doing about hit-and-run investigations, additional resources needed to reduce the incidents, and the feasibility of implementing new strategies, including an alert system in Los Angeles. Mike Gatto is the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee in the California State Assembly. Follow him on Twitter @ MikeGatto or visit www. asm.ca.gov/gatto.
Don’t get stuck in century crunch traffic: Use 511
SUSAN R. FROM COVINA HAS WON PASSES TO PASADENA POPS
SUBMIT YOUR BALLOT AND YOU COULD WIN TOO!
Southern California 511 - the free traveler information service that provides traffic updates via phone or web has launched a new feature to keep Southern California drivers up to date during the planned Century Crunch closure scheduled for July 25-28. Century Crunch will see Century Boulevard, one of the main access roads to the airport, closed to traffic at the Aviation Boulevard intersection beginning 9 p.m. Friday, July 25, through 6 a.m. Monday, July 28. The old Century Boulevard Bridge needs to be demolished to allow for the
future construction of a new Crenshaw/LAX Line light rail station. To access the real-time traffic information, travelers need only call "511" on their phones or smartphones. After the automated greeting, just say "Century Crunch" to receive information on the intersection closure and learn recommended detour routes. Or say "traffic" to receive frequently updated traffic information on nearby roadways that feed into the LAX area. Updates will include freeway traffic drive times, freeway speeds and SigAlerts. For
real-time traffic maps and public transportation travel alternatives, visit the website Go511.com or use the Go511 smartphone app available in iTunes and Google Play app stores. Century Crunch updates via 511 will be available from anywhere in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties. Motorists are advised to call or use the mobile app before starting their trip. Please do not use your phones while driving. For more information on Century Crunch, go to metro. net/crenshaw.

Signs of the economic times
The health of the economy is often a big focus in news headlines, but why all the attention? The answer is both simple and complex. In our free enterprise system, the state of the economy can make a big difference in our daily lives. It affects opportunities in the job market, drives the stock market, determines prices and influences buyer behavior. When the economy is robust, there’s optimism in the air. Companies hire, investors invest and consumers tend to spend more freely. Conversely, when the economy is sluggish, the mood is more somber. Companies struggle to make a profit, investors are more cautious and consumers tighten their wallets. How do we know if the economy is doing well? Because so many activities contribute to the economy, it can be hard to get a handle on where it is headed. Economic indicators that go hand-in-hand with economic health provide clues. Direct economic indicators go up when the economy is rosy and go down when the economy tanks. Other factors have an inverse relationship with the economy. These inverse factors fall and rise opposite the strength of the economy. Leading economic indicators are considered the most important factors to watch. Unlike lagging economic indicators that appear after economic change, these indicators
tend to come first, helping economists predict the direction of the economy. Here are some of the most often discussed leading economic indicators to put on your radar. Consumer Price Index The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a consolidated measure of the price of goods and services over time at the consumer level. Observed changes in CPI help determine inflation (rising prices) and cost of living (how much it costs to get by) and help shape our monetary policy. Measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the CPI is calculated for food, energy and all other consumer goods. Further analysis within these categories can reveal what influences price fluctuations. The prices of some goods and services are more influential than others. For example, because we are a nation of automobile owners, the price of gasoline is closely watched. When prices get too high or too low, the government may intervene with policies intended to cap consumer costs and spur economic activity. Producer Price Index While the Consumer Price Index looks at prices paid at the store, the Producer Price Index (PPI) considers what wholesalers pay for U.S. goods and services (less food and energy, which are not factored into this equation). Because wholesale prices influence consumer prices, PPI can be a useful predictor of im-
pending inflation. U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes Our nation relies on foreign trade to sustain economic activity. Therefore, the price we can charge our foreign trading partners for goods and services can reveal a good deal about our economic standing. Fluctuations in supply and demand, competition and the stability of our global partners make these measures all the more vulnerable to variability. Productivity and Costs How productive are our factories? How efficient are our processes? Productivity statistics tell an important story for those who
want to predict how well our economy is working. When businesses are able to do more in less time, profits rise, which in turn paves the way for more investment, more jobs and overall prosperity. Real Earnings The real earnings economic indicator looks at real average hourly earnings to estimate consumer buying power. By comparing real earnings to the Consumer Price Index, economists can shed light on just how far the American dollar can go. New Construction Housing starts and building permits are regularly monitored by the fi-
nancial industry because they reflect both business growth and consumer confidence. Employment Situation The stock market tends to perk up at the announcement of new hires and fewer unemployment claims. Investors like a healthy economy, where able-bodied workers can find good jobs. Job security also tends to give consumers more confidence. What can you do with your improved understanding of leading economic indicators? Keep an eye out for trends reported in the news.

Water prohibitions stem from 2009 ordinance LinkedIn names Michael Callahan The City of Pasadena ditches from watering or as new general counsel approved 13 permanent irrigating landscapes or water waste prohibitions in 2009 as part of Chapter 13.10 ordinance. These measures will remain in effect under the Level 1 Shortage, including: • No watering outdoors between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., except with a hand-held container or hose with a shut-off nozzle. • No watering during periods of rain. • No excessive water flow or runoff onto pavement, gutters or
vegetation of any kind. • No washing down paved surfaces unless for safety or sanitation, in which case a bucket, a hose with a shut-off nozzle, a cleaning machine that recycles water or a low-volume/high-pressure water broom must be used. • No washing vehicles except by using a hand-held bucket or similar container or hose equipped with a water shut-off nozzle

Arcadia Council rejects petition to repeal UUT Arcadia City Council was presented with a gloomy picture if the $6.7 million in revenue (User Utility Tax) was lost in light of a recent citizens’ petition to repeal UUT taxes the city charges. “Thirteen police officers would be cut. A fire station would close. Cuts in
monitoring property violations and illegal businesses would increase blight. Street sweeping would be reduced from weekly to every other weekly. Children’s programs would be eliminated and city library hours would be reduced by two days. “We’re not creating a list just to shock and awe,
we’re creating a list that is generally reasonable and factual,” City Manager Dominic Lazaretto told the council at a recent meeting. Three residents, backed by the California Tax Limitation Committee, in April submitted 770 signatures to repeal the city’s utility users tax.

LinkedIn, the world's largest professional network with more than 300 million members, today named Michael Callahan as its new vice president, general counsel and secretary. He will officially join the company on July 28th. He will report to CEO Jeff Weiner and be a member of LinkedIn's executive staff. Callahan served most recently as the Chief Legal Officer at Auction.com, the nation's leading online real estate marketplace, where he oversaw the company's legal, regulatory, intellectual property, government relations, compliance, ethics, and corporate governance matters. Previously, he was Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary at Yahoo!. Callahan holds a B.S. from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and received his J.D. from the University of Connecticut. "I have had the privi-
lege of knowing Mike for more than a decade. He is one of the best legal minds in our industry, as well as a proven leader of world class legal teams," said LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner. "Mike is the ideal
choice to serve as our general counsel and help us achieve our vision to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce." "I've long admired LinkedIn for its ability to enable economic opportunity for people around the
world, and I have tremendous respect for the entire executive team at the company," said Callahan. "I'm honored to have the opportunity to lead a strong and deep team at LinkedIn and continue to scale the function." Callahan will replace Erika Rottenberg, who announced earlier this year that she would be leaving the company. Rottenberg has served as LinkedIn's general counsel since 2008. "Over the last six years, Erika has built an outstanding global legal team that has successfully navigated a number of the most challenging issues facing Internet companies today, while always prioritizing our members first," continued Weiner. "She has also been a tireless advocate for our company culture and values, and we wish her the best as she takes some well-deserved time off before pursuing the next play in her career."

The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) gives real estate agents the opportunity to input school and school district information for potential buyers to consider. Therefore, it came as a shock to all concerned when, years ago, a certain real estate broker publicly advertised that a home resided in a sought-after school district when in fact it didn't. The mistake was made feasible because the broker assumed that the home shared the neighborhood with properties which all belonged to the area governed by these marquee schools. But you know what they say about assuming? In her haste, the agent failed to look over the school district map, did not speak thoroughly with the out-of-area owner and considered it safe to advertise what seemed obvious. A frenzy over the property ensued and af-
By Hugo Torres ter dozens of offers were mulled over the seller finally decided upon an allcash approach from a family with several children who were looking forward to their new schools in the fall. Luckily for all, the parties discovered the mistake in the midst of escrow and after a few chosen words were exchanged a parting of ways was negotiated. The agent was unceremoniously let go from her representation; the seller went on to sell the home for considerably less; and the grievance committee I served on at the time got a very interesting case to consider and learn from. Schools and school systems have always been a major consideration of buyers. Real estate agents often speak of them as marketing opportunities and buyers often research local school information and/or will request that an
agent will furnish it. In the San Gabriel Valley, I have witnessed hearty bidding wars over homes that are less than turn-key but whose footprint lies within the borders of award-winning districts. On the flip side, I have spoken with dozens of clients who will offer considerably less simply because the schools in the area don't garner a renowned reputation. The latest infographic issued the California Association of REALTORS outlines the amenities some would forgo in order to ensure better schooling options. It brought to mind this story from years past and made me relook at the borders of our school districts. Better to know than to assume. Some education can be rather costly.

Arcadia Coldwell Banker competes in second annual summer food drive NorthStar Moving® Company, the leading ecoluxury mover in California, has teamed up with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage with the support of Move for Hunger, for their second annual “Let’s Send Hunger Packing” summer food drive to feed hungry children in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The donations will help feed the over one million children in Southern California that lack access to food. Arcadia Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage is competing against other cities and towns to collect the most food donations for their local food bank. The
Arcadia donations will benefit Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. NorthStar Moving will award the winning offices, one in each county, with their choice of either: lunch for the entire staff or a $1000.00 donation to the food bank in their name. “It is devastating to think that even one child goes to bed hungry at night and it is unimaginable to think that almost 700,000 children in Los Angeles County and 1 out of 5 children in Orange County are at risk of being hunger every day,” said NorthStar Moving CoFounder Laura McHolm. “Those statistics are even more heart breaking in the
71%
summer when many children lose access to their school-sponsored one meal a day. Last year we raised 4,556 pounds of food and this year we are looking to surpass that. So, please join us in making sure every child has enough to eat every day!” The battle to raise the most food donations has begun and runs through August 15. Donations of nonperishable food items are now being accepted at the Arcadia Coldwell Banker office.

Just after 3:30 p.m., an officer responded to the parking lot of the Santa Anita Race Track, 285 West Huntington Drive, regarding a disturbance.

Monday, July 14: At about 4:11 a.m., officers made contact with a lone subject sitting inside a parked vehicle on eastbound California Street at Second Avenue, after discovering a felony warrant was attached to the license plate. An investigation re-
vealed the warrant did not belong to the 22-year-old Hispanic male driver; however, he was in possession of a large butcher’s knife and possible stolen credit cards. He was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking. At approximately 5:48 p.m., an officer was dispatched to a residence in the 000 block of La Porte Street regarding a disturbance between a mother and her son. After arguing over bills, the son twisted his mother’s arm as he grabbed her purse. A records check revealed the son had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant.

The victim stated she only had one key for the vehicle and it was in her possession. Nothing in the vehicle was missing or damaged.

Is a college education all it’s cracked up to be; In a word, 'Yes' By Shel segal
As the expense of a post-secondary education– and the level of student debt --continue to increase, many consumers in the San Gabriel Valley may wonder if a college education is worth it. The short answer is yes. Despite the significant financial investment, there is a true return in the job market. A recent analysis of Labor Department statistics by the Economic Policy Institute in Washington revealed the earnings gap among young people with a college degree versus those without reached a record high in 2013. Americans with a fouryear college degree made an average of 98 percent more per hour last year than those without a college degree. This number is up from 85 percent in 2003 and 64 percent in the early 1980s. The Labor Department noted approximately twothirds of full-time undergraduate college students receive some form of financial aid, ranging from student loans, scholarships and grants, to college savings accounts and work-study programs. So what should consumers in the San Gabriel Valley look for when shopping for a student loan or alternative college financing? “With tuition costs on the rise, it is important for consumers to begin planning their financing as soon as possible,” said Tena Lozano, consumer advocacy manager with the California Credit Union League. “Even if you have been proactively saving for college, it does not guarantee you won't need financial assistance and student loans are a great help.” Lozano added there are a number of factors to consider when obtaining a student loan, including: How much can you afford? Is the school worth the cost of the education? How long will it take to pay back the loan? You should also consid-
er the intended career path. What kind of income will you make after you graduate and what is the job market like in that field? “When it comes to the actual loan, know what type of loan you are getting,” Lozano said. “If you have to borrow, look to federal student loans first, since they are funded by the government and can carry less risk. If you need additional money, make sure you go through a lender you can trust for private funding, such as a credit union.” Lozano gave other tips to financing a college education: Start saving now: Whether you are months, years or decades away from paying for college, start saving today. The earlier you begin putting money into a college savings plan, the more time it has to grow. Take advantage of college savings calculators, such as at www.WeOwnOurBank. com, to determine how much you will need to save. Seek assistance: It's always a good idea to speak with an experienced financial advisor about college savings goals and financing options. Many credit unions have financial advisors available. Do your research: Below are a few options you have for financing a college education. Research each option and speak with a financial advisor to ensure you understand the full benefits of each. Scholarships and grants: Before you borrow, make sure you have exhausted all sources for free money from scholarships and grants. Opportunities can be found through academic performance, athletic performance, workplace benefits, church and community organizations, in-state lottery funded programs, and much more. Prepaid tuition plans: Many institutions of higher learning offer in-state resi-
dents the opportunity to lock in a tuition rate to public colleges and universities years in advance. If you have enough money now, you could prepay for a complete four-year degree, or just prepay a portion of the expenses now. 529 college savings plans: Each state offers its own plan, some with special tax incentives. All account earnings are tax-free on the federal and state level as long as the money is used for higher-education expenses including tuition, fees, books, room, and board. Coverdell education savings accounts: The nontax deductible contributions are limited to $2,000 per year and the account grows tax-free until the funds are distributed. Work-study programs: Offered by the federal government, state governments or by specific colleges and universities, these programs help fill the gaps in financial aid. Student hours are limited and the pay is not high, however participation can be beneficial. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs): You can use money saved in an IRA to fund educational expenses. With a Roth IRA (most common for this use) you generally have more control over how the money is invested, but there are lower annual contribution limits than for 529 plans. You can also avoid the 10-percent early withdrawal penalty if the funds are used for qualified college expenses. If you end up not needing the funds for college expenses, the money can remain in the Roth for retirement.

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.

Wanted to ask you if you could, um, help us get folks organized to come to a fundraiser that we're doing for Organizing for America for Obama campaign on Friday at La Fonda at 6 p.m.,’” according to that report. “She goes on to say, ‘There are a lot of folks that we know that are coming, but wanted to ask you if you might help contribute or get other folks to help out,’” according to that report. Solis ran for the 1st District supervisorial seat in June, strongly beating out two other candidates. She left her job as Labor Secretary early last year and will be sworn in this December.

late news El Monte hosts 12th Annual 'Chalk It Up' art contest The City of El Monte Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department held its 12th Annual Chalk It Up Art Contest at Lambert Park on Thursday, July 3, 2014. The 140 eager participants from Arceo, Gibson Mariposa, Lambert, Mt. View & Zamora parks and Cogswell School were given sidewalk chalk and one hour to create a work of art. “The annual Chalk It Up contest is always a fun family event for our community,” said Councilmember Juventino “J” Gomez. “Many thanks

to the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department for putting on another great event.” During this threehour event, the participants had the opportunity to get their faces painted, enjoy free fresh watermelon, jump in a free bouncer and do Zumba with the Recreation Leaders. The park was full of activities for children and adult spectators…there was something for everyone to enjoy! Community Affairs Commissioners Carroll Leese and past Parks
and Recreation Commissioners Ron Ishigaki and Laura Arechiga, and local artist Manuel Legaspè were judges and assisted in the presentation of awards at this unique event. Winners were awarded a trophy, bucket of sidewalk chalk, a free pizza coupon donated by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor and a Toys ‘R Us gift card. All artists received a certificate of participation, a pack of colored chalk, a gift certificate for a free single pizza from Shakey’s Pizza Parlor and free watermelon.
Bob Young passes away Continued from page 1
just another really bad joke? Whatever it was, Bob had it all…in spades! Or maybe it was the smile and seemingly boundless energy that could launch a thousand volunteers into action in the Float Barn at the Eleventh hour to make sure that Sierra Made would put out yet another awardingwinning float. This was Bob’s passion, keeping Sierra Madre a great, fun small town with an International flair. Because of Bob’s seemingly inexhaustible volunteering efforts, the Sierra Madre Rose Float Association garnered a huge number of awards and trophies during his 16 years as President. Over the years, the Sierra Madre Rose Float Association has won major Tournament of Roses Trophy Awards, with four of those awards coming consecutively in the four years between 2005 and 2009.The 2006 entry “Wonder of Reading” won the Founders’ Award for most beautiful entry built and decorated by volunteers from the sponsoring community or organization. The 2007 “Our Wonderful Wistaria” won the Lathrop K. Leishman Trophy for most beautiful entry, and the 2008 “Valentine’s Day” won the Princess Award for most beautiful entry under 35 feet in length. Sierra Madre won its fourth trophy in as many years, again winning the Lathrop K. Leishman Trophy for most beautiful entry with

“Bollywood Dreams”. Another of Bob’s passion was fundraising via the “Legendary Bingo” event he created to help raise funds for the SMRFA. This was no ordinary Bingo! But then again, Bob was no ordinary guy. Come on, who else would have two giant Pink Flamingos illuminated frolicking in his front yard on Sierra Madre Boulevard? Who also would actually wear pink flamingo glasses, or Angel Wings, for that matter? Bob did. The Sierra Madre Rose float was an animated spectacle two years ago, sported a flapping tail fish and a really cool rocking boat. The total length of the float was 49 feet long and 25 feet
high and it accumulated yet another in a long history of awards for the independent float builder. Sierra Madre Rose Float Association President Robert Young always emphasized the importance of volunteers who helped with the construction effort each year and rarely, if ever, took any accolades himself. The Isabella Coleman Trophy, which awards the best presentation of color and harmony, was presented to the SMRFA just last year. Robert Young’s humble, sometimes-biting humor will be sorely missed. Bob is survived by mother Mary and son Robert Reid; a sister and brother, and long-time friend and travel companion Ilona Linden.
