City of Monrovia re-examines ‘Blighted Yard’ status during the severe drought; Resident questions $250 fine for same - Tom Adams says City is biggest biggest offender … “we must end the madness.”
BY SHEL SEGAL The cities of San Gabriel and Pasadena have been looking into ways on how to better incorporate bicycles into their jurisdictions. The San Gabriel City Council recently took a look at a blueprint to build the city’s first major network of bikeways, according to a published report. The proposal would create 32.5 miles of different variations of bike Please see page 9
Temple City man shot during home invasion robbery in Pasadena A Temple City man was shot inside a Pasadena apartment after a home invasion robbery late Saturday. The wounded man was shot in twice during the crime, which took place shortly after 10 p.m. at an apartment in the 600 block of East Union Street, Pasadena according to police reports. The man was sent to Huntington where he was listed in stable condition. A second victim of the robbery, described as a 17-year-old Pasadena boy, suffered wounds to his arm during the home invasion. Police described the armed intruders as an Asian woman in her 20s, and four men of unknown race between 25 and 30 years old.

BY TERRY MILLER A Monrovia city resident on Norumbega Drive received a $250 citation dated August 20 stating, in part, that the resident ‘s “landscape shall be continuously maintained

Mayor Bill Bogaard will not run for re-election Popular Mayor has served Pasadena for 16 years City of Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard has announced his decision not to seek reelection after serving nearly 16 years as the City’s first, and (until now) only directly elected mayor in the City’s history. Bogaard is sending a twopage letter to many of his longtime friends and supporters in which he shares with them “a reluctant decision” not to seek re-election for a fifth term as Mayor. A copy of the letter is attached with this news release. “There is never a good time for a decision like this and so, after lots of thinking
on August 25. The paradox here was not lost on the resident or this newspaper as we are in a severe drought and the state has mandated conservation of water, which is exactly what Ms. Neville has done.
Now, according to Ms. Neville, the city wants to ‘punish her’ for doing exactly what she and thousands of residents are mandated by law to do – conserve water. Please see page 26

Beheading of second American journalist by ISIL condemned by lawmakers Rep. Adam Schiff (DCA), a senior member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement in response to reports of the killing of American journalist Steven Sotloff by ISIL: “Reports of ISIL beheading a second American journalist, Steven Sotloff, are another gruesome reminder of the evil that now controls a large swath of Iraq and Syria. All of America sends its heartfelt condolences to the Sotloff family, who have been living with this nightmare for a year and only wished for their son to be returned home unharmed. ISIL must be confronted and destroyed. And I am confident that no matter how long it takes, those who murdered Steven Sotloff and James Foley, and so many others, will be made to face justice.”
Vergara v. California ruling; State officials appeal Judge Treu’s final ruling on tenure in California schools BY TERRY MILLER

Last week, California Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown appealed a recent state judge’s ruling that ends tenure and other union protections for public school teachers. The appeal, filed Friday, contends that Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Rulf Treu’s final decree lacks detail and fails to provide the legal basis for his verdict. Treu issued the final ruling Thursday, after directing in June that tenure protections for California

Dorothy's Place Back in the fold
THE SPERO FOUNDATION HOSTS THE 1ST ANNUAL
“WINE, RHYTHM & BREWS” EVENT OCTOBER 4, 2014 - 4PM-7PM
HELD IN DOWNTOWN SIERRA MADRE TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE ($40 PER TICKET)
By Dorothy Denne Well, September hath arriven. Though summer is not officially over, being a retired teacher, as far as I'm concerned it is. Oh how well I remember those hot days near the end of August when I was in the scorching classroom putting up bulletin boards, sorting new textbooks, making plans for the new year that was about to start. When September arrived and Labor Day was
behind us, we were off and running. In most classrooms, one of the first assignments for the students was to write about what they had done during the summer. I understand that today's teachers tend to follow that tradition. My summer story: I was called back to church after a rather long stretch of finding other things to do with my Sundays. A new associate pastor had been assigned to our church. First Sunday I thought I needed to attend on his introductory day so I would at least recognize him when
I saw him out and about the community and would thus make an effort to behave myself. Second Sunday I thought I needed to attend. There had been a welcoming barbecue after services the first Sunday. I thought if I didn't attend the second, it might appear that they had to feed me to get me there. Third Sunday our senior pastor would be absent, enjoying a long awaited vacation. I thought I needed to attend services because I didn't want to take the chance that his new associate might take it personally. Fourth Sunday I just thought I wanted to attend.

The New Buffalo Soldiers are riding up to the Monrovia Historical Museum. Mark Still of the Museum said, “It’s been a long time since we had the Cavalry gallop up and down Lemon Avenue in this part of the West…” The New Buffalo Soldiers are helping Monrovia commemorate the contributions of one of the original Buffalo Soldiers of the early 20th century: Lt. Colonel Allen Allensworth. Allensworth died in Monrovia exactly one hundred years ago on September 14, 1914. KGEM’s Ralph Walker said, “On Sept 14, 2014, Monrovia wants to commemorate the life and contributions of this American visionary.” The New Buffalo Soldiers are dedicated to educating the public about the contributions of Black men in the development of the Western frontier. They are also riding
in the 2015 Rose Parade. The original Buffalo Soldiers – also known as the Negro Cavalry – was established as a unit of the United States Army in 1866. In that time of Jim Crow segregation, the Buffalo Soldiers had difficult assignments in the Indian Wars, in the Philippines, and in Mexico. In the early 20th century, they were also national park rangers. In fact, Smokey the Bear’s campaign hat is the same design as the hat the Buffalo Soldiers wore. One of the Buffalo Soldiers’ leaders and the highest ranking African American in the military at that time was Lt. Colonel Allen Allensworth, chaplain for the 24th Infantry Regiment. “Allensworth wanted to build a Tuskeegee Institute in California,” said Walker, “This former slave wanted to give Blacks educational, economic and political
opportunity.” Mark Still continued, “Allensworth was the first pastor of our Second Baptist Church here in Monrovia. Second Baptist has served the community over 110 years.” The current bishop of Second Baptist, Dr. William LaRue Dillard, said, “Allensworth is a historic figure in this state, and his legacy will live on, even in Monrovia.” Aside from the New Buffalo Soldiers, the September 14 program at the Museum will feature Mayor Lutz and City Councilmembers; Thomas Stratton, President of Friends of Allensworth; Steven Baker, Monrovia’s Historian; and former Duarte Mayor Lois Gaston representing Second Baptist Church. This special event will be from 1:30 to 3:30 pm and is free to the public. Just follow the Cavalry on Lemon Avenue.

Milo’s cats foster in homes and have a Lifetime Care Program for the ones that cannot be rehomed. Milo’s promise to all their cats is that they will have a safe and loving environment to spend the rest of their lives in. The cats receive all the medical care and anything else that they may require to have the best quality of life. As
in all rescue organizations, Milo’s is always desperately in need of sponsors for their special needs angels. Milo’s dream is to
someday have a sanctuary where the unwanted cats, the ferals, the seniors, and the special needs will have
a safe home to spend the rest of their lives. Milo’s relies solely on donations to continue their mission to help special needs cats and kittens that would otherwise die abandoned in the shelter or in the street. Even $1.00 makes a difference and EVERY cent donated goes directly to the care of these beautiful souls. An all-volunteer organization, no one at Milo’s Sanctuary receives a salary of any kind.

Azusa police seek attempted child abduction subject Azusa police are searching for two people in connection with the attempted abduction of an 11-year-old boy near a school Tuesday morning. The child was riding his bicycle southbound on a sidewalk in the 300 block of North San Gabriel Avenue on Monday when a dark, older model van stopped in front of him, according to a news release from the Azusa Police Department. A man exited the vehicle, approached the child from behind, grabbed him
and pulled him toward the van, police said in the release. The boy struggled and was able to get away, the release stated. He was not injured. The man fled in the van with another person who was driving. He was described by police as being between the ages of 20 and 40, having a dark complexion and wearing dark clothing, according to the release. He was also believed to have a shaved head with short side burns, a moustache and goatee.

Judy Chu's land grab attempt buses people to event Dear Editor: This past Tuesday I attended the Congresswoman Judy Chu’s forum regarding her request to the President to designation the San Gabriel Mountains as a National Monument. For those who don’t know about Judy Chu’s quest to control the San Gabriel Mountains let me give you a quick synopsis. For the past two years she has been holding forums and town halls across the Foothill Corridor from Santa Clarita to San Bernardino to talk about her vision for a National Recreation Area. Last June she presented her legislation HR 4858 to Congress’s Commission for Natural Resources. Two weeks ago, unhappy with the lack of progress with her bill in Congress, she asked President Obama to bypass Congress and designate the San Gabriel Mountains as a National Monument under the Antiquities Act of 1906. Within one week of making her announcement she held a hastily called public forum in Baldwin Park with high ranking public and government officials in attendance. Under a monument designation this will be the largest land grab by the Federal Government at over 700,000 acres. When com-
bined with the proposed Rim of the Valley and the Santa Monica Mountain Conservancy they will control the entire Southern California mountain range from the beach to the San Bernardino’s, Los Angeles River, Rio Hondo River and eventually connecting to the Los Padres and Cleveland National Forests. The Government will have complete oversight without any local control or input regarding water, timber and minerals. I arrived early to the forum as it has been my experience that Rep. Chu likes to bus people in to fill the seats to make the room look as though there is overwhelming support for her legislation. What I witnessed was far worse than I could image. This first bus arrived about a half hour after I did, then another and another and another. The people who came off those buses were all wearing shirt and badges supporting the Save the Mountains Forever group. There was only one problem, they didn’t speak or read in any English. Several people we spoke with throughout the groups were told that they were going on a field trip to help save the mountains; they would all get a shirt and get to see Michelle Obama. When I
asked an organizer about the people that were bused in and where they came from I was told I was racist and bigoted. I later spoke with the daughter of a woman who was upset that Michelle Obama was never going to be there and they were merely being used as seat fillers. Hundreds of people who lived in the area, had an interest in the proposal and city officials were locked out so that Judy Chu could fill the seats with people who didn’t understand a word that was being said.... I call that EXPLOITATION. Congresswoman Judy Chu doesn’t have the best interests of the people she claims to represent. By going to the President and bypassing Congress she will no longer have to honor all the safeguards that were put in place under HR 4858. They can appoint anyone they want to oversee the management of the new National Monument. What do you want to bet that person is Joe Edmiston of the Santa Monica Mountain Conservancy, the very man the cities and COG fought to keep out of any management role of the San Gabriels?

Pasadena: Shine some light on the Robinson Brothers, please Dear Editor: Two young women took it upon themselves to share with the community of Pasadena and community neighbors their concerns about the recent wave of police brutality and death and criminalization of Black Men. The crowd of 75-100 people of all colors and ages danced to the beat of the drums while others held up sign sending out their protest message of which Michael Brown was the central theme. Others sat in lawn chairs watching the event unfold. Pasadena police Chief SANCHEZ walked around the park doing PR, local reporters were in a
search of a story. The crowd left Central park in a very orderly manner as they headed toward Pasadena City Hall. Various speakers spoke on the steps of the very ornate city hall again with the central theme that Michael Brown will not be the last black man to be a victim of an alleged racist cop. As night descended city hall was illuminated with bright white lights the figures on the building appeared to stare down on the crowd below in a cold stone stare. One speaker stunned the crowd with his words “THIS IS JUST A PEP RALLY” like before the big game an eerie silence
was felt. The Speaker went on to say that we must learn to do more after the press and TV coverage fades away. Behind the crowd in a distance less than 75 yards in a grassy knoll the enormous bronze heads of Jackie and Mack Robinson two early Pasadena pioneers who fought for equality in Pasadena, stood in silent protest in the dark of the night symbolic of how the black man is treated in the dark and out of sight, invisible. PLEASE PUT SOME LIGHTS ON THE ROBINSONS BROTHERS THEY EARNED IT. Ralph Walker

Letters to the Editor (Cont.) Can you believe?
The Sierra Madre City Council listened to the parade of citizens to speak to them about the need for a building moratorium because of the alleged water shortage. The Council responded by not only passing a building moratorium, but also adding a 30% reduction on the water usage by every water user in the City. They were quick to point out that there was no penalty involved if they did not meet the reduced allocation target as determined by the City. These issues passed by a unanimous vote of 5-0 which, once again, illustrates the way they think. It doesn't seem to matter how much the people get hurt and their increased regulation of private property. The water charges have four rates depending on how much the homeowner uses. If the rate is supposed to be based upon the costs, then which of the four rates is the true cost and any charge of less than cost is being sold at a loss and any rate higher than
the cost is in fact a penalty. The water currently being used is from the MWD pipeline and is purchased with credits that have been purchased from the SGMWD at the current rate of usage it figures that the people and the City Government are using approximately 000 acre feet per year. The City documents reveal that before the conservation move the average use was 3003 acre feet per year. This figures to be a thirty three percent reduction by the people already. Who needs that heavy press onto the people? In the meantime, the water level in the aquifer has increased by forty six and one half feet during the nine months that the pumps have been shut down. This is an average of five feet per month which equals out to one thousand acre feet per month. The current usage by the people is one hundred seventy five acre feet per month. Is the water supply increasing every month?
This is without any rainfall to speak of It is told the City has at least two years of supply from the MWD with another two years already contracted. This equates out to two years firm and four years supply already built up in our aquifer. Do we have an IMMEDIATE water shortage? Does a property owner have the right to build their dream house and is the City obligated to supply all the utilities to that home regardless of how long the particular property owner has owned the property? The City Government has agreed that the subdivision known as #1 Carter can be developed with homes. Fourteen years have passed and not one home has been completed. Do we really need a building moratorium or have we already had the moratorium in place for these many years? CAN YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR? Sierra Madre Watchman

Storied Dodger Stadium will again be the site of Hathaway-Sycamores Child and Family Services’ annual fundraiser – the Celebrating Children Awards Reception. Those attending the September 16 event, which is being chaired by Sierra Madre resident Ken Goldstein, will not only be raising money to help fund the crucial mental-health and other support services provided by Hathaway-Sycamores to more than 8,500 children, youth, young adults and families annually, but they also will be given the unique opportunity to have the entire stadium to themselves, as the Boys in Blue will be battling the Rockies in Colorado. Celebrating Children festivities will start at 5 p.m. and conclude at 9 p.m. The public can purchase tickets to this standout event that will include an appearance by Dodger great and six-time National League All-Star Ron Cey. The event additionally will feature Stadium Club cocktail party and dinner buf-
fet; after-dinner dessert and coffee; cheering on the Boys in Blue via DodgerVision and walls of flat-screen TVs; raffle drawing; complimentary parking; VIP Dodger Stadium tours for Platinum level ticket holders; and gift bags for all in attendance. Special thanks are extended to this year’s Celebrating Children major corporate sponsors, including: The Morrison & Foerster Foundation; Southern California Gas Company; the Capital Group; KCB Management; Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, LLP; Pelican Hill; and Wells Fargo. The centerpiece of Celebrating Children is the presentation of the Hathaway-Sycamores’ Celebrating Children Award. Each year, the event honors an individual or family that exemplifies the values of integrity, leadership and commitment to the well-being of children, adults, families, and communities. The 2014 Celebrating Children honorees are Annsley and George Strong, longtime residents of La Cañada Flintridge and longtime
supporters of Hathaway-Sycamores. Annsley Strong’s roots with Hathaway-Sycamores run particularly deep. Specifically, Strong was first introduced to the agency when she was a member of the Los Altos Auxiliary, which raises funds for the children and teens who are in residential treatment at Hathaway-Sycamores’ El Nido campus in Altadena. The Los Altos Auxiliary thus served as a bridge to Hathaway-Sycamores, and Annsley Strong, along with her husband George Strong, Jr., has been actively involved ever since. She served on the agency’s Board of Directors for 13 years and held the position of Board Chair from 2006 to 2008. Annsley Strong currently serves on HathawaySycamores’ Advisory Board and is a member of the agency’s Strategic Planning Committee.

Always a bittersweet night, the last concert of the season of the California Philharmonic, led by the renowned Maestro Victor Vener, has occurred. The summer concerts at the Santa Anita Race Track are pure joy. After the sun slips behind the stage dome, the breeze gently moves the palm trees. As the Sierra Madre Mountains become clear and it feels like you can touch them, then the glorious sounds of a Philhar-
monic Orchestra penetrate through the night. I have been attending the California Philharmonic for all 18 years and for me, it is a privileged gift to be able to drive to a venue of world class music only 10 minutes from home. The last concert of the season on 8/23/14 was exceptional. Adam del Monte, a leading flamenco and classical guitarist, captured the audience with music by Lloyd Webber’s from Evita. The evening
was complemented by two very talented vocalists Randal Keith and Joan Almedilla, with music from Man of La Mancha. If you have never attended, be sure to treat yourself to this wonderful summer series. For those that have had season tickets, I am told that prices will raised next season, therefore you should renew your season tickets as soon as possible. Call (626)304-0333 or check Calphil.com.

Irwindale settles wrongful termination suit A former Irwindale police department dispatcher received a $125,000 settlement from the Irwindale City Council, ending her wrongful termination and harassment lawsuit she filed against the city, according to a published report. Sarah Curtis, who lives in Alta Loma, was fired by then-police chief Dennis Smith in December 2012, according to a lawsuit she filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Curtis appealed the firing to an arbitrator, who decided she should not have been fired and should be allowed to return to work, the report said. But his decision is not binding, paving the way for City Manager John Davidson to “upheld the termination in July 2013 after an attempt to settle the claim informally,” the report said. In the lawsuit Curtis filed in April, she alleges
By Shel Segal she was “discriminated against because of her sex, was retaliated against for opposing discrimination and harassment, the city failed to prevent discrimination and harassment and she was wrongfully terminated” the report said. In reaching the agreement, neither side admitted fault. And according to city documents, its insurance provider Joint Powers Insurance Authority will put up one-half of the amount and the city will pay the rest. Cases such as this have been getting the city of Irwindale in trouble with its insurance provider last year as allegation of corruption in the Irwindale Police Department and at Irwindale City Hall have surfaced, the report said. In fact, the city has paid out more than $2 million in settlement agreements over the past five years, according to the California Joint
Powers Insurance Authority. The city recently agreed to reach a settlement with former City Manager Robert Griego, who the city sued for fraud, the report said. A victim of sexual assault by a former Irwindale police officer reached a settlement with the city this year for $400,000 in damages after she had filed a $20 million civil lawsuit against the city, the report said. Former police Sgt. David Fraijo was accused of sexually assaulting the female victim during a 2012 traffic stop. And the city’s former Human Resources manager recently filed a claim for $6.3 million against the city, the report said.

Stepping Into Supervision You’ve worked hard, put in your time, proven yourself and now you’re a first time supervisor. Congratulations! In the midst of your excitement there’s probably some trembling going on, too. Being a first time supervisor is not easy. You’ve walked into unchartered territory. Let’s look at some strategies to help you be successful. Strategic Alignment: Use the strategic objectives of your company and link them back to your group. When your group’s goals and objectives link upward with what matters most to the company it means your team is on track with the mission of the organization. It also means your team spends its time, energy and resources on what is important to the company. Write down both the company’s strategic goals and objectives, as well as your team’s, and share that with your group. Remember to revisit this periodically with your team to ensure you remain on track. Run Effective Meetings: We all know what it’s like to sit in meetings that lack focus
and accomplish little. Now that you’re a supervisor you can change this. When setting up a meeting clearly identify the reason and the outcome that is sought. Develop an agenda with a timeline and stick to it. Start and end on time. During the meeting encourage participation by asking staff their ideas and opinions. Afterwards send an email communicating information and decisions that occurred. Say “I Don’t Know”: Just because you’re a supervisor doesn’t mean you have to know everything. When an employee asks you something you don’t know be willing to admit it. Then let them know you’ll find out the answer. You’re willingness to admit you don’t know something shows that you’re human and that not even a supervisor is expected to know everything. Find a Confidante: Being a new supervisor can be lonely. For the first time you’re responsible for making tough decisions and overseeing someone else’s work. On top of that, colleagues who used
to be peers are now your subordinates. Handling this all on your own is stressful, so finding a mentor or confidante whom you can trust is important. Seek out someone who once was a first-time supervisor and knows what it’s like to walk in your shoes. Delegate: You don’t have to do it all yourself. Delegating not only eases your own workload it lets your employees develop their skills. Learning to delegate early on is crucial to your future success because as you move upward more and more responsibilities will come your way. Decide what to delegate and to whom. Clearly communicate the task and deadline, and periodically monitor progress. Put these strategies into motion and you’re sure to be on a successful path as a first time supervisor.

Arcadia Chamber Love Lunch at Villa Catrina “Networking and Friendships over Lunch”
More than 30 Arcadia Chamber members and others gathered at the new Villa Catrina Mexican Restaurant & Cantina Aug. 27 for the fourth Chamber Love Lunch. Owners Joe Jimenez and Gabriel Sanchez greeted the social gathering to describe the authentic Mexican cuisines, full bar, specialty Margaritas, and the regular weekly activities including karaoke night, Taco Tuesdays, live music and Mariachi Brunch Sundays. Attendees at the res-
taurant located at 251 N. Santa Anita in Arcadia mixed and mingled with other business owners and professionals, while sharing ideas and information. At the end of the lunch attendees also entered into a raffle to win Villa Catrina gift cards. The Love Lunches were created by the Chamber for members and prospective members who love lunch and love getting out of their homes or away from their office for a chance to relax and meet some new people and network. This is
yet another way the Chamber can show “love” to its members. Attendees are invited to come anytime between 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of each month at a different restaurant each time. Attendees order whatever they want and attendees pay for their own meal. The next Love Lunch will be held at Benihana’s at Westfield Santa Anita mall on Sept 24, 2014. RSVP to the Arcadia Chamber at 626.447.2159 or email info@arcadiacachamber.org.
Pasadena’s Police Officers’ Association fights release of independent report on shooting death of Kendrec McDade The Pasadena Police Officers’ Association plans to fight the public release of an independent report probing the officer-involved shooting

block the release of the report on the shooting from the Office of Independent Review (OIR) Group in a Los Angeles court Wednesday.

lanes in the city, including 3.3 miles of off-street multiuse bike paths and 9.2 miles of class II bike lanes, the report said, with the idea being part of the San Gabriel Valley Regional Bike Plan. Nonprofits Bike SGV and Day One created the proposal the council saw. And while San Gabriel Mayor John Harrington seemed very happy to welcome the proposal, Council Member Jason Pu didn’t receive it as well and said the city should rather spend its money on fixing streets and sewers. As San Gabriel is now looking at the proposal, five other local cities – Monterey Park, Baldwin Park, El Monte and South El Monte –
are to be presented with the proposal soon, said officials from Bike SGV, who added they are hoping to have the final draft approved by the end of October. In Pasadena, a community meeting to discuss a new set of bike lanes on major city streets was recently hosted at the Jackie Robinson Center. A feasibility study on cycle tracks, buffered bike lanes and bike boulevards was one of the items discussed. The current proposal includes a possible cycle track or buffered bike lane on Washington and Orange Grove boulevards, a cycle track on Union Street, Del Mar Boulevard and Green Street, and potential
buffered bike lanes on Colorado Boulevard. The majority of the proposals would involve reducing the number of lanes for cars. The study indicates that on all but Del Mar Boulevard traffic would not significantly increase. And while there are already around 70 miles of bike paths in Pasadena, there are few buffered bike lanes and no cycle tracks, said Rich Dilluvio, a senior transportation planner. In addition, Metro recently said that Pasadena is one of four selected cities to participate in a bike share program.

Daniel Ezralow debuts his new company, Ezralow Dance, with a commissioned, site-specific world premiere accompanied live by adventurous chamber orchestra ‘wild up' Winding up the Zev Yaroslavsky Signature Series and bringing the Ford Theatres 2014 summer season to a close, Ezralow Dance takes the stage at the Ford Amphitheatre on Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. The commissioned, site-specific world premiere from world-renowned director/choreographer Daniel Ezralow will be accompanied by live music from contemporary classical ensemble wild Up, marking the debut of Ezralow’s new, Los Angeles-based company. “Daniel is a visionary who creates grand pieces on a scale not usually seen at the Ford,” says Ford managing director of productions Adam Davis.
Hailed as “unforgettably gutsy” by The New York Times and “one of the best American dancer-choreographers now working on an international scale” by the Chicago Tribune, Ezralow most recently choreographed the opening ceremonies at the Sochi Olympics. He has created choreography and aerial choreography for theater, film, opera and television around the world, including The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil, Broadway’s Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark, the film Across the Universe and for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Batsheva Dance Company and Paris Opera Ballet. Ezralow is a co-founder of ISO Dance
and an original dancer/ choreographer of MOMIX. “I try to break traditions, to look at something we may have all viewed many times before and see it completely differently,” Ezralow explains. “With this new company of 9 dancers, I want to build a creative home for the huge amount of repertory I’ve developed around the world. Being an eclectic artist means that I’ve been lucky enough to jump from film to TV to stage, but there’s been no way until now to collect everything into a single body of work.” This summer marks the Zev Yaroslavsky Signature Series’ second season
celebrating Los Angeles as a destination for world-class artists who find here both collaboration with, and inspiration from, celebrated local artists. The series is presented by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission with support provided by Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, and all proceeds benefit the Ford Theatre Foundation. Ezralow Dance takes place Saturday, Sept.13 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $50, $65 and $80 (reserved seating), with a VIP package available for $100 that includes premium seating, a choice of wine or beer and on site parking.

Woman sentenced to prison for fatal DUI crash in Pomona A 21-year-old woman convicted of driving drunk and crashing her car, resulting in the death of a passenger, was sentenced today to six years in state prison, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Raelene Marie Martinez of Ontario pleaded no contest on Aug. 25 to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, DUI causing injury, driving with a .08 percent blood alcohol causing injury, and driving with a blood alcohol of .05 percent in case KA102330. The defendant also admitted to a special allegation of personally inflicting great bodily injury in the commission of the crime.
At the sentencing, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Douglas Sortino also ordered Martinez to pay restitution in the amount of $5,000 to the victim’s compensation board and $2,800 to the victim’s family. Deputy District Attorney Sandra Jimenez, who prosecuted that case, said on April 7, 2013, Martinez, who was 20 years old at the time, was drinking alcohol at a party in Pomona when an altercation ensued. The defendant decided to leave the gathering. Martinez got into the driver seat, while four others were passengers in the car, the prosecutor said. During the drive, Martinez began to fight with the front passenger

The exceptional story of Arcadia real estate
Most of our San Gabriel Valley real estate markets seem to be keeping pace with the general balancing trend seen across the Southland and the nation. Home price appreciation is cooling and more inventory has returned to the market. Arcadia, however, is exceptional. The Arcadia median home price was nearly 45% higher in July than one year ago. At the same time, there were almost 60% more homes on the market, which is a huge inventory increase by any measure. This is strange indeed, as one would expect such a dramatic rise in inventory to ease prices, at least somewhat. But in Arcadia, so far, there has been no relief. Some of the state’s finest schools, a close
proximity to Downtown L.A. and Arcadia's idyllic suburban setting have long made it the neighborhood of choice for families who can afford it. But one factor that is less pronounced in other parts of L.A. has rendered Arcadia the real estate juggernaut of the San Gabriel Valley: foreign buyers. In the 12-month period ending in March 2014, $92.2 billion was spent on U.S. real estate by foreign buyers, according to the National Association of Realtors. This marks a 35% increase over last year. Chinese buyers accounted for 24% of total foreign sales and made most of their purchases on high-tier, California real estate, such as is found in Arcadia. Many of these foreign buyers are undoubtedly
Art Alas blasts Covina City Council for spying on residents’ homes and businesses Congressional Candidate Arturo Alas made the following statement about the City of Covina’s plan to spend more than $300,000 on a controversial surveillance programs: "It is wrong for the city of Covina to spy on its own residents, shoppers and business people. It has been shown consistently that surveillance cameras do not improve public safety or prevent crime. At best, cameras help to investigate and prosecute crimes after the fact. At worse, they are a serious breach of our rights and civil liberties." “The City Council of Covina was wrong to implement this surveillance and spend more than $300,000 of our money without prior notice to the people of Covina and without any public debate or comment. Residents and businesses owners have never been told what the capabilities of the systems actually are and how they will be used. The people of Covina should make the ultimate decision about whether or
not their money is used to increase government surveillance of their own neighborhoods and businesses” Alas continued, “I believe all Americans, and especially those in my district, have a constitutional right to privacy, which must be respected by law enforcement agencies and government. Once our rights are lost, it is very difficult to get them back.” Arturo Alas is a grassroots leader and local businessman. A San Gabriel Valley native, Alas played professional soccer for several international teams before returning to Southern California and starting a successful real estate business. Alas believes that the Federal government has become too large, too powerful, and too expensive. A strong believer in individual rights, Alas believes we must get back to a Constitutional government and restore the free market principles that have made our nation great and our people prosperous.

For the last 38 years, Tree City USA has supported effective urban forest management across California, and planting these trees will enhance the state's tree-planting tradition." The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting between October 15 and December 10. The

New online game asks you to plan CA’s challenging water future As the state faces serious drought conditions and an uncertain water future, Next 10 (www.Next10.org) is issuing a new challenge to Californians: Can you create a plan to make sure there’s enough water for us all?
On Sept. 9, the nonprofit, nonpartisan organization will launch the new California Water Challenge (www.cawaterchallenge.org), an online simulation tool that lets each user create a unique plan to meet the increasing demands on the state’s limited water
supplies. Next 10 will also make public the findings of two Field Research Corporation polling questions that ask Californians how they feel about fining water wasters and what they think of potentially increasing water rates in order to lower demand.

About 20 percent of pre-retirees have nothing stocked away, and 31 percent of the total population also has no money for retirement. “This issue is making news regularly, and financial planning for retirement advertisements have spiked in recent years, in case you haven’t noticed,” says Rodger Alan Friedman, author of “Forging Bonds of Steel,” (www.forgingbondsofsteel.com/). “If nothing else, I hope the increased focus is lighting a fire under those who are near retirement, and I hope future generations are taking notes.” Just as the average person needs to get real with their own finances, advisors also need to get real with their clients. That means having several traits, says Friedman, who reviews them. • Competence: When advisors are unsure of themselves, it comes through. When presented with a set of facts, new advisors may not recognize what they are dealing with, or its importance.
A seasoned advisor, on the other hand, has dealt with many clients with numerous problems several times over and knows what it takes to solve a problem. That’s why I feel that an experienced financial advisor is the best answer for someone in need of retirement income and financial planning. Also, financial advisors should be very well-read, with self-imposed reading requirements. Learning new ideas and revisiting old ones keeps veteran advisors fresh. • Empathy: What is a client going through? Advisors must have their antennae up. Tears, anger, regrets and frustration are often bound with a person’s finances, and “I have met very few 22-year-olds who can fully understand the struggles, worries and dreams most people experience throughout a lifetime,” he says. Advisors have to develop an approach that helps clients feel comfortable in discussing difficult matters. The client needs to understand that the advisor truly cares and is not there merely for a transaction. • Ability to listen: “ ‘You have to have two ears and one mouth,’ my mother used to say; she made it clear that I should be listening twice as much as I was talking, and that advice has served me well in my life and ca-
reer,” Friedman says. Clients come to an advisor for professional expertise, but they don’t want to be lectured. Advisors have to first listen to clients – their problems, needs and hopes – before offering a professional response. The conversation should flow easily both ways as an advisor and client get to the heart of matters in an atmosphere of mutual respect. • Perspective & insight: Perspective and insight are like twins: wherever there is one, the other is not far behind. Planners gain perspective and insight
through thousands of hours of listening, collaborating, advising and acting as a steward of the financial assets and dreams of the families they serve. You know when you’re in the presence of these “twins;” it is often said that people with both see with their intellect – they possess vision. Clients should keep their antennae up for these traits when meeting a prospective advisor. Pay attention to how he or she may, as if without effort, intelligently guide the two-way conversation.
El Monte residents may have noticed a slight, yet noticeable, change around the City recently that has helped them navigate around town a bit easier and maybe, even, a bit more pleasantly: new street signs. The City of El Monte Public Works Maintenance staff has been hard at work installing more than 1,400 new street sign poles throughout the City to swap out existing signs that were in poor condition, not compliant with federal regulations, and in need of replacement. “The installation of these new street signs will help police, ambulances and residents identify street names and block numbers a whole

lot easier,” said El Monte Councilman Juventino “J” Gomez. “While the aesthetic qualities of the new signs are a plus, the greater issue behind this move is public safety and federal compliance.” In January 2008, the Federal Rule on Sign Retroreflectivity went into effect to ensure city street-name signs were compliant with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The MUTCD states that all new street signs must be made with retroreflective surfaces to reflect light emitted from automobile headlights off the signs and back to the automobile light, which makes it more visible to drivers.

addresses a major loophole in current law that provides for few consequences for hit-and-run offenders whose victims are lucky enough to walk away with only minor injuries. The problem with current law is that it sets the penalty based upon how bad the victim’s injuries end up being, and there is no way to know that at the moment of impact. AB 47 and AB 1532 are Gatto’s most recent efforts to address the high numbers of hit-and-runs across the state but they are not his only efforts. 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 Damian Kevitt, the survivor of a brutal hit-and-run in Gatto’s district last year. “The only way to know if you hurt someone is to stop. The only way to get someone medical attention is to stop,” said Gatto. “Accidents happen, but if you flee the scene, it becomes a crime.”

Pick Your Part Presents: "Irwindale Night of Destruction2"
Billed as second of three "2014 season Nights of Destruction" at Irwindale Speedway...a sold-out Labor day weekend crowd poured into the Irwindale grandstands first to see 30 laps of exciting 2014 championship points racing with the NASCAR Super Stocks, some spirited third-mile competition with the "run-whatchabrung" Open Comp Cars, as well as a Two Driver MiniEnduro that traversed a convoluted "roval" (shorthand for "road course oval") for 30 wild laps. After that, the advertised "Destruction" part of the night started in earnest. In the NASCAR Super Stock points race, Henry Miles of Palmdale, thrilled the huge crowd with a last lap pass of race leader Craig Rayburn (Simi) to win his first-ever SS race at Irwindale by a scant two-tenths (.202) of a second. Covina's Greg Crutcher got third, with points leader Zack Green (Long Beach) in fourth and Apple Valley's Gary Frankovich rounding out the top five. Green still leads the division's 2014 points chase, but with this popular win, Miles moves up to second in points only 16 back of Green (332-316), with La Verne's Gary Reed now third in points with three races to go at 310. Jerry Toporek from Venice won the Open Comp race while the two man team of Jim and Gary Smith prevailed in a "rather messy, but fun" team driving Enduro for Compact Cars. (A number of which limped off the field of battle even a bit more "compacted cars" than they had started the race 30 raucous laps before.) After the first three events of the evening, some 250 enthusiastic Irwindale fans took "en masse" in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The track's mascot, LugNut Junior, had challenged Irwindale fans to come to the race on Saturday, make a contribution to the ALS Association, and then follow him right out onto the track to get doused by the track's water truck for a good cause. To the cheers of a full house, the huge group of eager fans stood in line along the front straight and got (very) soaked. Happily enough, the track's host hotel, Courtyard by Marriott in Monrovia supplied a hopper full of clean dry towels for the participants to dry

themselves after the deluge. Needless to say, the cheers from the stands were strong, long, and loud for some very thoughtful fans. Following the ALS Challenge ... the promised "Night of Destruction" got under way with alacrity ... In the mad Auto Soccer game, Team Pick Your Part scored a lopsided 6-2 victory over Team Low Budget TV with team captain Robert Rice (Hawthorne) scoring a (er ... what's a hat trick and two additional goals called?). Whatever it's called, Rice nudged the nearly 4-foot tall, 450-pound plate steel "soccer ball" into the TLB goal 5 times himself for what was believed to be a new Auto Soccer scoring world record. Fully twenty-nine (slightly-crazed) Seidner's Collision Centers Skid Plate Cars took to Irwindale inner third mile oval on Saturday night. When the sparks had finally died down 20 action-packed laps later, the pride of Yorba Linda, Sean Brennen had won the day by a "wide" 6.867-second margin. Remarkably enough, the top five finishers all completed all 20 laps of the spinning, swirling Skid Plate melee, which always looks a little like a mad-motorized-metal ballet without the benefit of any nice music or pointy-toed shoes. Adam Ditto from nearby Monrovia, won the Compact Car Demolition Derby and Jeffry Best was voted on (by crowd applause) as the victor over Robert Rice in a smash-em-up derby ... er ... 20-lap Trailer Race, which left shards of boats, house trailers, tow vehicles, and other miscellaneous parts and pieces of

Gettysburg College tradition brings attention to most famous "address" Students recreate 1863 Walk with Lincoln
Late August means college students are returning to campuses around the U.S., but at Gettysburg College, there is a tradition that brings attention to the most famous speech in American history. In 1863, Gettysburg College students walked with President Lincoln to the newly opened Gettysburg National Cemetery, where Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. On August 28, faculty, staff, students and community members escorted the 726 first-year students at the college through the streets of historic Gettysburg, recreating the original procession. This year's walk comes less than a year after the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's speech. A student started the First-Year Walk tradition in 2003, and the incoming class takes the two-mile round trip every August during orientation.

Upon arrival at the National Cemetery at Gettysburg National Military Park, Ian Isherwood, Assistant Director at the College's Civil War Institute and 2000 Gettysburg College graduate, delivered a reading of the address and accompanying remarks. At the end of his speech, Isherwood asked the Class of 2018, "What
cause will you nobly advance? Please consider this question for its difficulty, for the challenge it poses to your life choices, and for its intimidating unselfishness. For like Lincoln, we also have unfinished work - we also have great tasks remaining before us - and to confront these tasks we need the wisdom and leadership of a noble generation."
State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson applauds legislative progress, education reform as 2013-14 session wraps up Describing the past two years as easily being the best for public education in California in a decade, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson today praised the efforts of state lawmakers in their support of broad education reform and long-term policy during the 2013-14 session. “From our shared commitment to invest in our children and our schools, to significant reforms to the teacher dismissal process, and to our groundbreaking work to help students graduate with skills they can use
in both college and career, these past two years have easily been the best for public education in California in a decade,” Torlakson said. In a letter to Gov. Jerry Brown, Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, and Speaker of the Assembly Toni G. Atkins, Torlakson discussed the statewide progress being made by schools through funding from voter-approved Proposition 30 coupled by the adoption of the Local Control Funding Formula that gave local communities and school districts additional

voice in education decisions such as restoring what had been lost through years of budget cuts. Additional progress toward improving California’s education system, he said, included the important work to improve the teacher dismissal process. “While the vast majority of our teachers are deserving of the trust place in them,” Torlakson said in his support of Assembly Bill 215. “I strongly support swift and sure consequences for the very few who do not.”

Schools Chief Tom Torlakson welcomes students and teachers back to school
As millions of California students, teachers, and administrators are returning to school, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson offered his top 10 tips to support student learning. “This is going to be an exciting year of new challenges, not only for students but also schools, as we enter a new era of teaching and learning, assessments, and the way we fund schools,” Torlakson said. “Our future depends on the next generation of students to lead California. To help support them so they will be prepared for college and careers, I am offering my top 10 tips.” Superintendent Torlakson’s Top 10 Tips 1. Students should not only know their ABCs, but
everyone should also know about the CCSS (Common Core State Standards), which is remodeling California’s education system so every child will learn real-world skills that will prepare them for college and careers. 2. Hungry children don’t learn. So make sure they eat a hearty breakfast before school and a nutritious lunch at school. Or take advantage of California’s many nutrition programs that provide healthy meals and snacks to children. 3. When children are sick at home or partake in risky behavior, they can’t learn. Find out how the state is helping children stay healthy, and avoid alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and other dangerous activities.
4. Eating nutritious food, being physically active, and well-hydrated, all help children succeed in school. Join Torlakson’s Team California for Healthy Kids initiative to find out what you can do to help keep your kids healthy and active every day. 5. Busy parents can help their children take advantage of expanded learning opportunities outside of regular school hours, by signing them up for before and after school programs. 6. Having a stable home and dependable support system will help children feel better about themselves and will help them learn in school. Find out about services for foster youth, immigrant students, homeless children, and support for children in military families. 7. A safe school environment is more conducive to helping students learn. Find out how the state provides guidelines to administrators on providing safe schools environ-
ments for children. 8. Students speak more than a 100 languages in the California’s public school system. Learn more about services to help students learn English and how the state helps schools get the word out about important notices through its Clearinghouse for Multilingual Documents. 9. Chronic absences, even among kindergarteners, is an early indicator of students dropping out of school. Learn more about how the state helps prevent dropouts and how School Attendance Review Boards help keep kids in school and learning. 10. When parents are more involved in their children’s education, students perform better in school. Volunteer to help your local school and teachers. Or consider donating school supplies to teachers who often use their own money to buy paper and pencils for their students to use in their classrooms.

Vergara v. California ruling Continued from page 1
teachers violate the state constitution, depriving some of the state's 6.2 million students of a quality education, specifically minorities and those from low-income families. The lawsuit, Vergara v. California, was brought by Beatriz Vergara and eight other students claimed incompetent teachers let classrooms get out of control, came to school unprepared and demeaned and humiliated students. State Superintendent of schools Tom Torlakson issued a press release last week on Vergara Lawsuit and said, "No teacher is perfect. A very few are not worthy of the job.” He added, “The people who dedicate their lives to the teaching profession deserve our admiration and support. Instead, this ruling lays the failings of our education system at their feet. “We do not fault doctors when the emergency room is
full. We do not criticize the firefighter whose supply of water runs dry. Yet while we crowd our classrooms and fail to properly equip them with adequate resources, those who filed and support this case shamelessly seek to blame teachers who step forward every day to make a difference for our children. “No teacher is perfect. A very few are not worthy of the job. School districts have always had the power to dismiss those who do not measure up, and this year I helped pass a new law that streamlined the dismissal process, while protecting the rights of both teachers and students. It is disappointing that the Court refused to even consider this important reform. “In a cruel irony, this final ruling comes as many California teachers spend countless unpaid hours preparing to start the new school year in hopes of better serving the very students this case purportedly seeks to

f your Mom was an amazing baker who loved yellow lilies or if your Dad was a decorated colonel who started every day with strong, black coffee, we’ll be sure to know. We will acquaint ourselves with the meaningful details of your loved ones’ lives. Then, when memory fades, we will help them revisit the pleasure of past times, even if only moments. We will care for them—and you— as progressive memory loss occurs. The Kensington’s memory care programs are highly personalized. Two distinctive “neighborhoods”—Connections and Haven— feature support that accommodates residents with different degrees of memory loss. Connections residents are in the early to middle stages of dementia. They can independently engage in activities that give purpose to each day. Haven residents are in the middle to late stages of dementia. They need a higher level of clinical assistance and soothing care that increases comfort and reduces agitation. Connections and Haven neighborhoods are cozy, intimate environments. Here, loving professionals honor the past but “meet residents where they are” now. By making the most of their strengths, they make today as joyful as possible. Call us to schedule a visit or to learn more about expert memory care coming to Sierra Madre this fall

Monrovia resident fights $250 fine for slighted landscape during drought
Continued from page 1
The letter Ms. Neville sent to the city is printed here in, part: “I am appalled to have received a $250 citation from the City of Monrovia for my partially green lawn last week. The photo accompanying my citation is enclosed. “It is unconscionable to be issuing both overwatering and non-watering citations at this time. “I believe the City of Monrovia is on the wrong side of history pursuing a dead vegetation ordinance in a severe drought. “The eco-balance of our city is far more important than my neighbor’s view of my lawn. Regardless of all the other reasons to conserve water at this time, the wildlife are coming further down onto Norumbega to drink from our water sources and sprinkler runoff. I see the deer, raccoons and coyotes each morning at dawn when I go run up toward Canyon Park. “I have been discussing
the status of my front yard with Rick at the City for months, and have greatly improved my curb view with plants and grass, getting verbal sign off from Rick one month before receiving my citation in the mail. “I request my citation be cancelled, and furthermore request the dead vegetation ordinance be suspended by the city until the drought is improved. I will use my unique situation to begin a campaign for suspension of the ordinance. “Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing the City of Monrovia taking appropriate action that is responsive and appropriate to the circumstances.” Ms. Neville did receive a response from three of the council members, one of whom was Tom Adams, who said: “Patricia, “I am so sorry you have received this. I knew this day would come and I cautioned everyone at our
last meeting against this type of punishment, particularly when the City Parks are the biggest offender. “With your permission, I will bring this up Tuesday night at our meeting and see if we can end the madness. “Thank you, “Tom Adams” We spoke with Tom Adams Wednesday morning. Councilman Adams said the community has to respect one another and that the city needs to clean up its own act before punishing residents. “Our parks’ sprinklers and irrigation systems along Huntington Drive are wasting water daily. I understand it is a challenge to get a perfect irrigation system, but the city needs to clean up its own act before punishing the people it is supposed to represent.” Adams also said the philosophy of “ratting out one’s neighbor,” as one resident said in a recent public comment period at council, is a sad reflection on our community. “We
need more balance,” Adams said. “If the city can’t do it, we certainly can’t ask our residents to do it.” We contacted the city regarding the “Warning or Administrative Citation” resident Patricia Neville recently received and were informed that citation was not only due to dead vegetation and or/ brown lawn but also issued due to “trash and old vehicle in the yard.” Enrique Macias, Jr., of code enforcement said that Patricia Neville had been notified many times of her violations in the past year. C o m m u n i t y Development Director for Monrovia City, Steve Sizemore, said the city first sends an “education letter” to the resident alerting them of a potential code violation. This was sent to Ms. Neville in September of last year. Then, as is policy, a second ‘warning” letter goes out, in this case May 14, 2014. In July an
extension letter was mailed out and on Aug 20, the citation and order to pay $250 was sent out. This is when Ms. Neville contacted Monrovia Weekly. It seems clear that there is a lot of confusion about the city’s right to enforce the state mandate and what it all means to the average homeowner. It’s essentially about education, says the city. “We don’t want to be the water police…” Mr. Sizemore told Beacon Media in a telephone conference call Tuesday afternoon with other members of the city. The city also pointed out that a good lawn can easily survive and thrive on 3 days of watering per week. In fact, experts say that many of us over-water our lawns. However, Ms. Neville said that is true of an otherwise healthy lawn but not one that has essentially died. The city was quick to point to the alternatives
to lawns, with drought tolerant plants that are code compliant and help reduce one’s water consumption. Many cities offer rebates and assistance to those willing to put in drought tolerant landscaping. These are the conditions which are set in place now: No person shall hose wash any sidewalk, walkway, driveway, parking area or other paved surface, except as required for sanitary purposes. Washing of motor vehicles shall be done only with a hand-held bucket or hose equipped with a positive shut-off nozzle. No water shall be used to clean, fill or maintain levels in decorative fountains unless the water is part of a recycling (recirculating) system. No restaurant, hotel, café, cafeteria or other place where food is sold, served or offered for sale shall serve drinking water to any customer unless expressly requested by that customer.

Monrovia resident fights $250 fine for slighted landscape during drought
Continued from page 26
All customers shall promptly repair all leaks from indoor and outdoor plumbing fixtures within 48 hours of discovery. All lawns, landscape or other turf area shall be watered down not more than every third day between the hours of 5 p.m. and 10 a.m. No person or customer shall cause or allow water to run off landscaped areas onto adjoining streets, sidewalks, or other paved areas due to incorrectly directed or maintained sprinklers or as the result of excessive watering. In response to our posting of Ms. Neville’s letter, the city send Beacon Media a clarification letter, which we print here it its entirety. “In response to the letter published on your website dated August 31, 2014, we are happy to comment on how Monrovia’s Code Enforcement process intersects with the current Phase 1 water restrictions. “The City of Monrovia is currently under mandatory water restrictions, which includes limiting watering of lawns to every third day from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. This request for citizens to restrict excessive water usage is consistent with California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) issued Emergency Drought Regulations, which increase restrictions on water usage. “At the same time, our Code Enforcement officers are tasked with enforcing the Municipal Code concerning code violations. These two processes can co-exist. Our water conservation regulations do not suggest that property owners let their yards die. Blighted landscaping impacts a neighborhood in a negative way which could lead to a decline in property values of the surrounding properties. Even with a severe drought, overgrown weeds and unmaintained yards are not allowed. It is possible to have a landscaped property that is both visually appealing and compliant with conservation efforts. “The City of Monrovia is unique in its enforcement of code violations. Violators are sent an education letter and a warning letter before any citations occur. The
intent is to work with the violator to gain compliance. The citation is the last resort should the education process fail to yield minimum compliance. The City of Monrovia takes the drought and need for water conservation very seriously, as we do our enforcement of City Codes. We all need to work together to come up with practical solutions that achieve both of these goals. “Sincerely, “Steve Sizemore Director of Community Development” Ms. Neville added later in an email to Monrovia Weekly: ”My neighbor
“I will see if we can end the madness…”
-Councilman Tom Adams
across the street has the same letters and warnings from the City about lack of vegetation, and she was watering daily to try and meet the ordinance; however, given the new water restrictions, she will not be able to water enough to establish the lawn they are requiring.” She is very concerned about a $250 citation. “There is one other neighbor within eyesight who has also been issued warnings recently and I do not know the status of his process.” On Tuesday evening, City Council voted 4-1, Tom Adams dissenting, to amend Title 13, Chapter 13.20 of the Monrovia Municipal Code relating to water conservation. Key changes include: • Establishing a baseline for the amount of water used by a customer over a five year average (the five year period prior to the Council declaring an emergency water shortage). The baseline sets where customers need to conserve from. For example, January baselines for 2015 will be based upon the average of the Januarys 2010-2014. The prior ordinance used the 1989-1990 billing year as a baseline.
o Council also requested a 45 day grace period for residents to approach the Infrastructure Manager with any concerns regarding their baseline amount. • The term “recirculating” was added to section 13.20.080(a)(3) to match the State of California Resolution No. 2014-0038. o [(3) No water shall be used to clean, fill or maintain levels in decorative fountains, ponds, lakes or other similar aesthetic structures unless such water is part of recycling recirculating system.] • Staff titles and Department information was updated in various places. • To coincide with fire protection policies, where fire infrastructure to a property is a part of the domestic water service (i.e. fire sprinkler systems), the Section 13.20.110(B) was amended: (B) For a second or subsequent failure to comply with the plan, the Utilities Division may install, for a period of not less than 48 hours and until the customer satisfies the Department that failure to comply will not continue, a flow-restricting device in the customer's water service connection at the premises. A charge of $25 for installing and removing the flow-restricting device shall be paid prior to removal. Exceptions to the use of flow restrictors are established in Section 13.20.090 (B) – (Health and Safety) • Due to the severity of the drought and the amount of available local water supply, the ordinance will revise the allowable percentage of water to be used in Phase III, Phase IV, and Phase V of Section 13.20.080 to the following: Phase III, which is currently set at 85%, will be set at 80% Phase IV, which is currently set at 80%, will be set at 75% Phase V, which is currently set at 75%, will be set at 50% The City’s Water Conservation plan is in support of the Monrovia Environmental Accords Action 18 to adopt and implement policies to reduce per capita water

Obituary
Justice for Indy
Burbank and surrounding area residents among hundreds leading the pack in year-long fight for justice for Southern California pitbull intentionally and severly burned by fireworks
After numerous continuances, a preliminary hearing has been set for Wednesday September 24, 2014, in the case against Carlos Duarte, the man suspected of strapping a young pit bull with fireworks, set ablaze, on July 4, 2013 and leaving the severely burned dog for dead in an alley in Van Nuys, CA the following morning. And as the year-long quest to seek “Justice For Indy” continues, so does the need for people to take action in the fight against animal cruelty, whether it be by writing letters to legislators or by joining the hundreds of people from all over the Southland who will once again gather at the Van Nuys West Courthouse, located at 14400 Erwin Street Mall, on the morning of September 24 beginning at 8:00am. “Indy’s story is one of many tragic cases of animal cruelty and abuse that has been dominating the news of late...Imagine how many cases aren’t reported,” said Roger Allen Ward of Pasadena. “Fortunately Indy survived where sadly many don’t. We must continue to advocate for animal rights, stricter legislation and increased awareness. Animal abuse is unacceptable under any circumstances and violators should have significant consequences. We must be the voice that inspires change.” “Whether these crimes are committed against a human being or an animal - they are inexcusable,” added Katrina Nelson of Studio City.
Life Remembered Sheree C. Woods May 20, 1965 – September 1, 2014 Evangelist Sheree Caroline Woods, 49, of Duarte, California, went to be with the Lord on Monday afternoon September 1, 2014, at Kaiser Permanante Baldwin Park Medical Center. She was surrounded by family and close friends. She was born May 20, 1965, in Glendale, California, the daughter of Barbara Harris and Richard Trotter. She was their only child. She married her surviving husband, Van Derrick Woods Sr. on September 4, 1993.. Sheree graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Applied Management from Azusa Pacific University in 2000. Her career spanned over twenty years. Most of it was with Avon Products, Inc. as a regional sales direc-
tor.
In 1992, she became a member of Lincoln Avenue Celestial Temple and later became a licensed
Evangelist. She also served on the Pastor Aide Committee, taught Sunday school, and chaired
various fundraising events. Sheree is survived by her daughter Britini and son-in-law, Chris Jones; son, Van Derrick Jr; grandmother, Wessie Mae Dillon; uncles, Fedro Dillon Jr, Sammie Dillon, Jesse Dillon and Wesley Dillon; aunties, Frances Hickingbottom, Mary Sneed, Katie Jefferson, Gloria Echols, Dorothy Grissom, Sherri Dillon, Debbie Williams, Marion Barnes, Sheila Daniels, Judith Powell and Pamela Dillon; and several cousins. A service will be held on Saturday, September 13, 2014 at 1 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 101 E. Foothill, Monrovia, California 91016. Burial will take place at Forest Lawn - Covina Hills in Covina, California.

“At the very least, the laws in this regard are inadequate and at a minimum, if this man is found guilty, he deserves the maximum penalty that is legally allowed at this time. And maybe one day, the maximum penalty will actually be deserving of such horrible acts of cruelty.” “I attend Indy's hearings because I feel strongly that the LA County justice system needs to fully prosecute animal abuse cases. I want my voice heard. If we don't speak for the animals being abused at the hands of humans who will?” shared Nicole Goodfellow of Burbank. “We cannot allow the abusers to walk away with a slap on the wrist. They must be held accountable and deal with the consequences of their actions.” The outpouring of support is not limited to those in California. People from all over the world are fighting for Justice For Indy. “Indy's story has touched the hearts of many, even overseas,” said Laura Jones, an animal advocate based in London, UK who is heavily involved in the Justice
For Indy campaign. "I wish I could have shown support for Indy by being at his hearings in person, however, I was able to send letters to the DA and Judge for Indy's case and I would encourage others to so the same and be the voice of animals like Indy who have suffered senseless abuse". Indy, who was brought to Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team (S.T.A.R.T.) and then transferred to Westlake Village Animal Hospital, was in dire condition with life-threatening burns over the majority of his body. Numerous surgeries, including some performed by renowned burn surgeon Dr. Richard Grossman, and months of painful recovery and therapy later, Indy is slowly healing in his “fur-ever” home his new mom, Jenny Mandel, a vet tech from the clinic where he was treated. But the fight for Justice continues... Join The “Justice For Indy” Supporters From All Over The Southland As They Gather Once Again At Van Nuys Courthouse Wednesday September 24, 2014 At 8:00am
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.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
