30 years in the making; Monrovia Council breaks ceremonial ground for Station Square Transit Village BY SUSAN MOTANDER On Wednesday the ceremonial groundbreaking was held for the new transit complex in Monrovia. Station Square will serve as an entrance to the city from the Gold Line Station in Monrovia. The facility is being built just north of Duarte Road, to the east of Myrtle Avenue. The improvements being installed by the city include a large plaza with information panels, a pedestrian “promenade”, a green belt and a much-needed park. The Station Square project is the largest public works project the city has ever undertaken according to Mayor Mary Ann Lutz. The budget for it is approximately $25 million. Lutz explained that the funding for the project was coming from Federal and State Grants, money from the Gold Line Construction Please see page 6

Dorothy's Place A catastrophe
THE SPERO FOUNDATION HOSTS THE 1ST ANNUAL
By Dorothy Denne
“WINE, RHYTHM & BREWS” EVENT
There is nothing more relaxing than viewing a sleeping cat. Awake, maybe not so much. My neighbor had some tunic tops that no longer fit and she had decided to donate them to the thrift shop. She offered to give me first dibs. So I took a whole clothes basket full in to try on. Decided all but three were too large for me also. I put her stack back in her basket, returned them and threw my three in one of my own clothes baskets to wash later. At that point I was exhausted so I turned my window a/c on, closed the door and went to sit on

the lanai and relax with my cats while the room cooled. Well, there was no relaxing. My extremely loving lap cat, Mewston, was running 'round and 'round howling pathetically. Every time he got near his brother or sister, he hissed and spit viciously and slapped at them. I was concerned that he was ill or hurt. I fretted and stewed about him and tried to protect the other two as they, too, wondered what in the world was wrong with him. They got tired of wondering, decided they didn't care and were going to defend themselves. Things were deteriorating rapidly. I bent to pick Mewston up and he hissed at me. He has never done that in our eleven years together. Now I was really worried. I
thought I had better call our vet's office quickly, before they closed. I decided to use the phone in my bedroom where it would be cool. Well! Mewston followed me through the door, let out one Gawd-awful howl and attacked that clothes basket with a real vengeance. You see, my neighbor has a number of cats in her house. He had amazingly picked up their scent on those clothes and he was not going to have any part of them in his house. A load of laundry, a shower, several sprays of pet odor-fighter, a scrubbed out clothes basket and the catastrophe was over. I was relaxing in my recliner, Mewston was in my lap and Meowry and Fluffy were sprawled across my legs. All were sleeping, albeit with one eye open.

"Every one of California's immigrants helps shape our state's economic and civic vitality..." -Reshma Shamasunder stricter enforcement of them. Steven Camarot, of the Center for Immigration Studies, told the LA Times that "a bigger economy doesn't mean the people are richer." Apparently, the GDP earnings do not cover schools and other government services accessed by illegal immigrants. Reshma Shamasunder,
executive director of the California Immigrant Policy Center, disagrees, according to a press release: “Every one of California’s immigrants helps shape our state’s economic and civic vitality, but the daily threat of deportation casts a shadow over California’s undocumented residents—and their loved ones and communities.” She asks President Obama to limit deportations and “honor these contributions and advance economic prosperity.” Narrowing data down to the greater Los Angeles area, the study found that 1 out of 4 immigrants resides in here without permission. These illegal immigrants account for $57 billion of the area’s annual GDP. The USC as well as the Pew study both came to the conclusion that most illegal immigrants in California as well as nationwide have been in the U.S. for more than 10 years, ¾ live in households with U.S. citizens, and about four million have U.S.-born children, who are thus U.S. citizens. The Pew Research Center estimated that the same number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. in 2009 and 2013: 11.3 million.

Ask Christina By NerdWallet Health health finance expert Christina LaMontagne Question: I have medical bills from a recent emergency operation and want to confirm they are not overcharging me. This is important because I have a high deductible insurance policy. How can I check that I’m being charged correctly? Answer: You can start by researching the market price for the surgery that was performed. There are many resources for this: FAIR Health Consumer Cost Lookup and NerdWallet’s Best Hospitals Tool are two examples. These tools will tell you if what you’re being billed is totally out of left field or within reason. If your bill is wildly different from the going rate for your procedure, you should be extra meticulous about checking for errors. Either way, however, be sure to request an itemized bill from your provider, which will allow you to check each item you’re being billed for. Compare this to your Explanation of Benefits, or EOB, which will contain lots of details—including the amount your health care provider billed your insurance compa-
ny, the total amount that was not covered and the total cost to you. Here are a few of many common mistakes to keep an eye out for: • Duplicate charges: Double check that you’re not being charged twice for a service or procedure you only received once. This may not be immediately obvious on your itemized bill, but check each line closely. • Incorrect patient information: These common and small errors can lead to massive differences on your bill. If your subscriber ID is off, your policy could be mistaken for one with very different benefits and coverage. • Operating room and anesthesia time: Since you underwent an operation, this is an important one to check. You might uncover an error that just doesn’t add up—realistically, the time you spent in the operating room and under anesthesia shouldn’t be all that different. These services are typically billed in 15-minute increments, so errors here can multiply. If you identify errors on your bill, make sure to get them fixed before proceeding. Start by calling you insurance company, and then follow up with your provider’s billing office if necessary. If your bills are too complicated to navigate yourself or you’re getting the run around from your health insurance company, you might consider hiring a medical bill advocate, who can both find errors on your bills and get them lowered by contacting your insurance company and provider for you. NerdWallet Health helps patients reduce their medical bills. Have a question? Call us at (800) 5035404 or sign up for a free consultation with a medical billing expert.
South Pasadena High teens Continued from page 1
2013 and Aug. 16, 2014. The teens also are accused of sharing their intent with another teen. On Aug. 16, the juveniles threatened to kill the teen, prosecutors said. Both teens denied the new charges and are scheduled to return to court Sept. 23. A trial date has been set for Sept. 25. The case remains under investigation by the South Pasadena Police
Department. South Pasadena police arrested the two boys Aug. 18 after launching an investigation. South Pasadena Police Chief Miller said the teenagers had a “very specific” plan and named their targets, including three teachers and two students. A search of their computers turned up research on rifles, pistols, submachine guns, bombs and other explosives.
El Monte terminates contract with Albert's Towing Services The City of El Monte recently terminated its contract with Albert’s Towing Services citing a failure of the company to pay more than $120,000 in fees owed to the City. In the course of investigating violations of Albert’s Tow’s contract with the City to tow vehicles impounded by the Police Department, the City also investigated reports of larger operational deficiencies and irregularities which would not only constitute violations of the contract, but may also violate State laws governing tow company operations. Among the allegations shared with the City were reports that Albert’s Tow was overcharging vehicle owners and only accepting cash for the release of vehicles. It was also alleged that signage at private
parking lots intended to alert vehicle owners that their vehicles could be towed was deficient. “We have zero tolerance for companies who break the law and bully our residents,” said Mayor André Quintero. “As soon as we heard about how they were towing cars illegally, we asked staff to investigate. I am proud that we are taking action to rid our City of businesses who take advantage of our community.” The City embarked on the investigation after receiving numerous complaints from community members about unfair and illegal towing practices in a parking lot adjacent to the local courthouse. The towing of vehicles from this location was not conducted under the authority of Albert’s Tow’s contract
with the City but was instead carried out under a separate private arrangement between the towing company and the property owner. On May 14, 2014, the City issued notification that it was formally suspending the agreement with Albert’s Tow and would immediately cease to refer vehicles to the company. A final termination notice was issued on June 19, 2014. The City will work with local prosecutors and State regulators to ensure that anybody who is found to have violated State laws is held accountable. The City of El Monte will also actively explore ways to recover any and all monies owed to the City. Albert’s Towing Services was one of two towing companies contracted by the City to provide tow services.

“El Monte's Neglect of Economic Development”
Arcadia Dentistry
Victor De Los Santos, D.D.S.
Letters to the Editor
Having worked in El Monte since 1970, and having lived here since 1974, I am totally appalled at the endemic, habitual neglect of economic development by our city’s elected and city administrators. When I first worked here and moved in, I have seen the city facilities decline year after year. We once had a three-story Sears, a J.C. Penny’s, Alpha Beta, Lucky Market, two Vons, and much much more. Those days are long gone. Today, I wish to share just a few of my myriad examples of poor judgment, inaction, and poor judgment by our city officials. In my letter, I offer up only five. There are many more in the offing. Example #1: Today, I went again to our El Monte Sears Outlet Store to purchase a refrigerator. Sorry, the sales lady apologized to me, "El Monte won’t let us sell appliances. Daily, we get over twenty phone calls asking about our selection of refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, microwaves, and so on. We have to inform them that for over three years, El Monte has prohibited us from selling appliances. We refer callers and shoppers who come in person to go purchase their appliances in our West Covina Sears or at a Sears in another town.” Can you imagine how much revenue in sales taxes has been lost for over three consecutive years and is still being lost? It is said that “Pictures speak a thousand words!” Yes, just look at these two photos taken at El Monte’s Sears Outlet Store on Sunday, September 07, 2014 at 4:00 p.m.½of El Monte’s Sears’ Outlet Store Totally Empty of El Monte’s Sears’ Outlet Store for Apparel only! Example #2: This concerns the fate of our El Monte Edwards Theater— the only entertainment ven-
ue in El Monte open seven days a week and, as you may experience, on weekends, the parking lot there is absolutely full. Sounds great? Yes, but as planned by our city fathers and mothers (the elected and their minions), the theater is fated to soon be demolished. When I personally asked two El Monte City Assistant Managers this question in public: “When are we going to have a replacement theater?” Assistant City Manager One responded, “Some day.” Assistant City Manager Two gave no response at all. A long-time friend and fellow American Legionnaire asked Councilman Bart Patel about the planned demolition of our Edwards Theater. Unfortunately, Councilman Patel remained totally mute and ignored the question. Example #3: For years, our City of El Monte has received major U.S. Housing and Urban Development grants known as CBG funds intended for community economic development. According to the public record, our City Mayor and Council decided for each of two years to award $50,000 to local students enrolled at Rio Hondo College, which, by the way is only one of El Monte’s community colleges. The other is Pasadena City College, which covers El Monte on the west side of the Rio Hondo River. The scholarship awards were only for students from Arroyo High School, El Monte High School, and Mt. View High School. El Monteans enrolled in Rosemead High School and South El Monte High School were not allowed to apply. El Monteans attending other community colleges or universities could not apply for these scholarships. Why were they excluded? I know this to be a fact because I had to pay the City of El Monte $46 to obtain all the documentation including the scholarship applications, complete
with their misspellings and poor grammar. “Is granting scholarships (and only for some El Monteans) a valid use of Community Block Grant Funds? Aren’t they intended for economic development? You know, this is our money—it’s our tax money in action. Example #4: The much touted arrival of Norm’s Restaurant to be located on the corner of Santa Anita and Valley. Have parking and traffic flow been carefully considered by anybody? Today at 12:00 pm, I drove by and observed that right behind the large Ignacio Bar & Grill Restaurant, there were over 50 cars parked on the dirt-covered area, the future site of Norm’s and that restaurant’s future parking area. Do we really need another restaurant? What about a major quality “box store,” like Stater Brothers, Ralphs, etc.? Example #5: The planned construction of 500+ more residences in our already overcrowded and jammed traffic city. Drive down or up Valley and Lower Azusa; up or down Ramona; or up and down Santa Anita in the AM and PM and you feel you’re on the freeway during rush hour. We already have the fewest public parks per capita in Los Angeles County and, yet, our city wants to increase the population? Heaven forbid! These are just five of the many, many examples I can demonstrate for the pathetic state of economic development by our City Mayor, City Council, and their administration. Since we still live under representative government, our representatives are responsible to us and, therefore, I invite residents to attend our City Council meetings and express their views and make their requests to THOSE VOTED IN TO REPRESENT US. Sincerely, David Siegrist

Letters to the Editor (Cont.) Storm-water pollution
An article that was published in another newspaper reported on the meeting of the Council of Governments, and the discussion of stormwater pollution. The meeting was chaired by the Monrovia Mayor who also chaired two regional water committees. The Supreme Court found L. A. County liable for pollution of the L. A. River, which will cost an estimated $120B to clean up. They also included the San Gabriel River and Legg Lake. This pollution is said to be the cause of 640,000 to $1.4M people getting sick who visit L. A. and Orange County beaches each year. Nothing is said about the numerous beach alcoholic parties or the medical marijuana smokers that visit these beaches. Nothing is said about the hundreds of thousands of gallons of drinkable water that are deposited into the San Gabriel River every day.
Nothing is said about the idea of piping this water up the river to the settling basins in Irwindale in order to clean up the polluted aquifer in the San Gabriel Valley. Neither was anything said about the water purifying plant to purify the underground aquifer. Nothing was said about the millions of dollars of fines that were collected from private companies to the San Gabriel Valley years ago under the Super Fund. Nothing was said about the numerous boats and ships tht cruise the ocean and pollute the ocean both with their fuel and rubbish. Nothing is said about the pipeline that goes from the L. A. City Sewage Treatment Plant in Gardena to under the Palos Verdes Hills out to the ocean which has been dumping this material into our ocean for over 60 years. This has eliminated the kelp beds along Palos Verdes Hills and
in turn eliminated the abalone beds that were all along that area. Nothing is said about the sewage treatment plant in El Segundo or the Ballogna Creek in Playa Del Rey. Both of these had polluted releases more than once into the ocean that closed down the beaches. Of course, nothing is said about the millions of gallons of oil that seeps out of the ocean bottom from Santa Barbara down to San Diego. This is because government will not allow any drilling. The big question is: "Where does the pollution of the beaches come from?" We believe it comes from all the sources that are mentioned in this article and not simply from rainfall. The government has done very little to maintain our water supply and disposal. Do not let the County simply look for parcel taxes to supply the money! Sierra Madre Watchman
McDade Continued from page 1
McDade. Judge Chalfant dissolved the temporary restraining order (“TRO”) he issued September 3 which had barred release of the OIR Report. Telling the City it had to “fish or cut bait” on deciding whether to release the OIR Report and to “stop playing games,” Judge Chalfant ordered the City to decide within 10 days whether it will grant the Public Record Act request for the OIR Report by McDade’s mother Anya Slaughter, Pasadena grass-roots organizations the NAACP, ACT, and the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance (“IMA”), and community activist Kris Ockershauser. The context of Judge Chalfant’s being visibly disturbed by the City’s gamesmanship was that Pasadena City Attorney Michelle Bagneris invited the Pasadena Police Officer’s Association (”PPOA”) to file a lawsuit against the City, released the OIR Report to the PPOA attorneys who were suing the City but not to the members of the public requesting the Report, and then used the TRO that the PPOA got by filing the
lawsuit as the City’s excuse to avoid making a decision decide whether or not to release the Report. Judge Chalfant described the City as “straddling the fence” by hiding behind his TRO to avoid deciding on whether or not it is going to release the OIR Report. The Judge said that by dissolving the TRO, he was eliminating the City’s excuse for refusing to make that decision. Today’s hearing was initiated by attorneys Dale Gronemeier and Skip Hickambotton on behalf of Slaughter, the NAACP, ACT, the IMA, and Ockershauser. They contended that the PPOA lawsuit should be thrown out of court because it is a “reverse public-recordsact lawsuit” which cannot be asserted unless and until the City makes a decision to release the OIR Report. Gronemeier and Hickambottom asked Judge Chalfant to schedule a motion to throw out the PPOA complaint because it is not ripe for filing; Judge Chalfant agreed with the Gronemeier/ Hickambottom analysis, cancelled the hearing on a preliminary injunction set for September 23, and

dissolved the TRO. The Judge ordered the City to make a decision within 10 days on releasing the OIR Report and to notify the PPOA; he gave the PPOA and the Gronemeier/ Hickambottom clients five court days to come back to Court if they were dissatisfied with the result. Gronemeier said after the hearing “this is the first time in 39 years practicing law that a Judge has given me more than I asked for. We not only de facto got the PPOA complaint thrown out because it is not ripe, but we didn’t have to go back to court for another hearing as I had expected and the Court dissolved the TRO even though we did not ask for that.”

Authority (GLCA) and from Measure R funds through the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). Lauren Vasquez, a Management Analyst in the City Manager’s Office, had privately explained earlier that not even the matching local funds required by the federal grant came from the city’s General Fund. She also said that in some ways this had shaped some aspects
of the project. According to Vasquez, city staff is referring to the work as being in one of two categories: on site (meaning work at the Station Square itself) and off site (the work being done on the surrounding streets including, Myrtle, Duarte, Pomona, Evergreen, California, etc). On site the city will be building the transit plaza itself
in the area just north of the new gold line station and east of the parking structure being constructed. The GLCA is building the station itself and the parking structure. The city will also build the “Depot Promenade” which will connect the plaza with the neighborhood park the city is building on the east end of the Station Square itself. The city is constructing a Multi-Use Trail that will run alongside
the Gold Line tracks. The improvements in the surrounding area will include “Freeway beautification, roadways, medians, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, landscaping, lighting, signage, signals, and utilities,” according to information provided by the city. A contract was awarded last week by the city council for a large part of this project (it was on the consent calendar). In the staff report supporting this award, city staff wrote that the
scope of the project included “way finding signage” and “utilities undergrounding.” Vasquez explained this was “civil engineering-ese” for directional signs and burying the utilities. In addition to the work the city is doing on Station Square, the firm of Samuelson-Fetter is constructing “The Parks,” a 261-unit apartment complex for which it has just received City Council approval. It will adjoin the plaza and

dining & entertainment Latin American MOVIE REVIEW Celebrate Independence - Sept. 13 Redemption has a price in Calvary By Michael James Gonzalez The burden of sin can sometimes lie heavy on us all, and heavy does it lie on Father James, a waning priest but a genuinely good man who futilely attempts to restore the damaged members of his small, Irish town to their better selves while under the shadow of transgressions not yet forgotten. Calvary is a remarkable new film from writer/director John Michael McDonagh, who, impressively, has only one other directing credit to his resume, 2011’s The Guard. The film is set in the idyllic, Northern Irish coastal town of Sligo, although it’s never actually mentioned, and stars Brendon Gleeson in the title role. Gleeson acutely embodies the very tragic character of James, who we never see out of his clerical vestments. The veteran actor is subdued and poised, giving a quiet performance where compassion and rage both gurgle just under the surface of his calamitous beard and shaggy hair. He suffers the emotional slings and arrows of his neighbors with dignity and patience, although less successful in certain moments, the way a parent might suffer an unruly child. The film begins in the confession booth of James’ church, where an anonymous parishioner confesses about the childhood sexual abuse he endured under the hands of a priest, now deceased. He promises to murder James on the following Sunday as penance for his suffering precisely because James is a good man and because no one will understand why a good priest was murdered. From the opening scene, then, the narrative is imbued with a
sense of dread and tension made only more palpable by the tension between James and the sordid cast of characters he encounters as we follow him over the course of seven days through his dealings with people caught somewhere between heaven and hell. There is the abusive husband, the adulterous wife and her adulterer, the cynical doctor, the lonely, suicidal millionaire, a socially awkward teen, and others. The person with the most redemptive qualities is Fiona, James’ daughter who comes from London after a suicide attempt to rekindle with her father. Although we don’t get any visual glimpses of James’s pre-ordained life, we know that James became a priest after his wife died. The film on the whole can be darkly comedic and even surreal at times, reminiscent of David Lynch’s Blue Velvet in a couple of memorable scenes. It is also a film noir style mystery that asks us to guess who the would-be murderer might be, and whether Father James knows who it is. The aerial landscape shots of Northern Ireland peppered throughout the film seem to remind us that there can still be exquisite beauty found in isolation and starkness, much like the human characters within it. The ensemble cast, including certain notables like Chris O’Dowd, Aiden Gillen, and Kelly Reilly, give strong performances that fulfill the director’s very specific vision here, which I venture to say was to make a type of divine comedy using low and vulgar characters to contemplate higher issues of redemption and forgiveness.
Governor Brown issues proclamation declaring wine month As Napa Valley recovers from last month’s 6.0 magnitude earthquake, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today issued a proclamation declaring September, 2014, as California Wine Month in the

Hot time at newest restaurant in town features strolling magician Magician Lou Serrano from the Magic Castle opens his wallet at The Meat District Co. during last week’s grand opening party but discovered his greenbacks suddenly caught fire. The popular magician performed numerous slight-of-hand for VIPs during the preview gala of the Australian owned Meat District Co. in old Pasadena last Thursday Strolling magic, also known as roaming magic or mingling magic, is where Serrano mingles from group to group sharing the experience of magic up close and personal. It's a great icebreaker and got people mingling and talking with one another at the Meat Company last week. -Photo by Terry Miller
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.

Pasadena is a treasure trove of hundreds of historic properties, designed by the likes of Greene and Greene, Wallace Neff and Reginald Johnson. But with little or no insulation and drafty doors and windows, vintage homes are often hot in summer and chilly in winter, which can lead to higher energy bills. During the event, a panel of local experts will cover efficient heating and cooling options, weatherizing, lighting, air infiltration and energy audits to target waste, as well as rebates and financial incentives available for efficiency retrofits.
John Hoffner, Pasadena Water and Power Department’s (PWP) Public Benefits Program Manager, will be available to answer questions about PWPs conservation programs and rebates. Panelists will include City of Pasadena Senior Planner Kevin Johnson, Energy Advisor Tony Ward, Building Doctors President Dan Thomsen, and HartmanBaldwin Design/Build Architect, Bill Judson. Moderating the panel will be Page & Turnbull Principal Architect John Lesak. The event will also include question-and-answer
sessions, refreshments and an information fair in the campus courtyard. Tickets are $25 for Pasadena Heritage members and $30 for non-members. To purchase tickets visit www. pasadenaheritage.org/energy. The event is co-sponsored by Page & Turnbull Los Angeles in partnership with PWP and the City’s Design & Historic Preservation Division, with support from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Chamber Concerts The Coleman Chamber Concerts were started in 1904 by Alice Coleman, a gifted pianist living in Pasadena. Local chamber musicians performed early concerts in private homes. The Coleman Concerts moved to the Pasadena Playhouse in 1927, and began to feature ensembles from throughout the United States and Europe. The Sunday afternoon six-concert series has been in Beckman Auditorium on the campus of the California Institute of Technology since 1965, presenting the finest chamber ensembles, with varying instrumentation and programs which balance classic and contemporary repertoire. All concerts are on Sunday afternoons at 3:30 p.m.

Pasadena Museum of History Presents Artistic Eden: Contemporary Masters IV Fine Art Exhibition Features Scenes of the Greater San Gabriel Valley by Nationally-Recognized Representational Artists In August 2007, a consortium of five local fine art galleries put a particularly Pasadena-genteel spin on the famously cutthroat world of art sales by partnering with Pasadena Museum of History to present a juried, invitational, non-commercial exhibition of works inspired by scenes of the greater San Gabriel Valley. The exhibit, entitled Contemporary Masters: Artistic Eden, garnered glowing reviews and enthusiastic crowds. Southwest Art magazine hailed the galleries as innovators of “an unusual form of [creative] collaboration.” Plans for a second exhibition were quick to surface, and 2009’s Contemporary Masters, Artistic Eden II was followed in 2011 by Artistic Eden III. Fast forward to present day, as artists and gallery owners put the fin-
ishing touches on Artistic Eden IV, which opens on Wednesday, October 1 in the Museum’s Kathryne Beynon Foundation Exhibition Hall. In the early years of
California Impressionism, the unique and spectacular beauty of the greater Pasadena area was the frequent subject of beautiful artworks, many of which are now in museum collections nationwide. This exhibition recognizes and sustains the area’s rich artistic heritage. Hundreds of representational artists have been invited
to submit their artworks for possible inclusion in this singular juried event, which will be jointly curated by the sponsoring galleries: Fremont Gallery, Galerie Gabrie, Segil Fine Art Source, Silvana Gallery, and Tirage Fine Art Gallery. Artworks will be available for acquisition through the sponsoring galleries after the close of the exhibition. Artistic Eden: Contemporary Masters IV is open 12:00 to 5:00 pm Wednesdays through Sundays from October 1, 2014 through January 11, 2015 at Pasadena Museum of History, 470 W. Walnut St., Pasadena 91103. Admission $7; Museum members and children free; Free parking. Information: www.pasadenahistory. org | 626.577.1660.

October 2014 - May 2014 Already well-established as a Southern California cultural institution, the Distinguished Speakers Series of Pasadena has again lined up an all-star array of presenters for the upcoming 2014-2015 season. Now in its nineteenth year at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, this season’s speakers include; NBA legend, Magic Johnson, bestselling author, Malcolm Gladwell, and beloved TV host Jane Pauley. The season runs from October 2014 to May 2015. F.W. de Klerk, Fabien Cousteau, David Brooks, Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly will complete the roster of scheduled speakers. The Series is sold in subscription packages ranging from $420 for all seven presentations in the best seats to $250 for a minipackage of four. The series will kick-off on October 22, 2014 with undersea explorer and environmentalist Fabien Cousteau. He is followed by the visionary observer and bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell on November 19, 2014. On January 14, 2015, former U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her astronaut husband, Mark Kelly will host a compelling evening. Jane Pauley, beloved former host of the Today Show and bestselling spokesperson for the “boomer generation” will take the stage on February 9, 2015. NBA legend, business leader and philanthropist
Magic Johnson will share stories and bold ideas on March 25, 2015. Nobel Laureate and former South African President, F.W. de Klerk will take the stage in a rare U.S. public speaking engagement on April 22, 2015. The Series will conclude on May 18, 2015 with David Brooks, the New York Times Columnist and well respected political and social analyst. “It’ll be our nineteenth season presenting the Distinguished Speaker Series. We’ve found that people want to get away from their computer screens, get away from their TVs and cellphones, and share in a community experience. Sitting in the Pasadena Civic with 2,600 of their neighbors; listening to a newsmaker tell their story and share their ideas; is just as special and memorable as experiencing Yo Yo Ma play his cello,” says series coowner Kathy Winterhalder. The Distinguished Speaker Series will be held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, 300 East Green St. Pasadena. Each program begins at 8:00 p.m. The audience will have the opportunity to interact with each speaker, as each event concludes with a candid and lively question and answer session moderated by a KPCC 83.3 radio host. The Series is open to the public in subscription packages only. Two subscription options are available:
Option I: All seven Speakers Orchestra and Loge Sections A: $420, Section B: $392 and C $315, Option II: Pick your own four speakers (some restrictions apply) Orchestra and Loge Sections P-4: $250 Subscriptions to the Pasadena Series may be purchased by calling (310) 546-6222 or on the web at www. speakersla.com or in person at the Pasadena Civic Box Office. The Distinguished Speaker Series was established in response to Southern California’s need for an educational, entertainment alternative. The series has brought to Pasadena over one hundred individuals who have transformed the world, leaders like; Bill Clinton, the Dalai Lama, Tony Blair, Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, Condoleezza Rice, Shimon Peres, Colin Powell, Madeleine Albright, and Benazir Bhutto. People who have made us laugh, Bill Cosby, Betty White, Garrison Keillor, Whoopi Goldberg and Dave Barry; and those that have made us think and feel such as Elie Wiesel, Ron Howard, Robert Redford, Steve Wozniak, David McCullough, John Wooden, Tom Wolfe and Maya Angelou. The Rusank Auto Group, Union Bank, EPWealth Advisors, University of Phoenix, Pacific Oaks College and Children’s School, KPCC 89.3 and the Langham, Huntington, Pasadena sponsor the series.

Looking for a friendly performing arts venue to view an eclectic range of live stage events including comedians, jazz greats, musical theatre, bands and orchestras, dance and family events? You’d like to have convenient and free parking…and comfortable seating with lots of leg room. The best-kept secret in the San Gabriel Valley for performing arts has this and more. The Haugh Performing Arts Center is a 1440-seat venue located on the northwest corner of the Citrus College campus in Glendora, CA. A straight shot down the 210 freeway, this venue is convenient and easy to reach. Coming soon to the venue is humorist Jeanne Robertson who continues to charm audiences with her humorous observations about everyday life. Robertson, who has hundreds of hours on SiriusXM satellite radio, and over 18 million YouTube hits, has an infectious personality, heart, and sense of humor. This fall the Haugh Performing Arts Center is proud to present SEOP Dance Company of Korea’s A Man’s Requiem. Director Yong Chul Kim produces dazzling choreographic works which combine Korean tradition with contemporary vision to create a stunning display of sound, color, and movement. Also, on the season is comedian/singer Sandra Bernhard in her new show “Sandyland” spotlighting her own unique, sharp blend of hysterical insight and outspoken views, with rock-n-roll, cabaret, stand-up and a little burlesque. Sandyland, which also features
Bernhard's band The Flawless Zircons, has been selling out across the country. For kids and families, The Story Pirates celebrate creative writing by students in a loud, hilarious sketchcomedy musical performed by professional improvisers and musicians. The show is based entirely on stories written by elementary school students, and part of the show is made up on the spot by the kids in the audience! Story Pirates will delight and surprise with puppets, enlivening songs and outrageous sketches, all the while motivating kids to pick up a pencil and write down their own fantastic adventures. Haugh Performing Arts Center is the home for the Citrus College Fine and Performing Arts Department’s Citrus Singers, the awardwinning Blue Note Swing Orchestra and Sierra Wind Symphony. These groups are part of a huge Christmas extravaganza that must be seen to be believed. “Christmas Is. . .” runs on weekends in December. This musical spectacular is a tradition for many families in the San Gabriel Valley. An original musical, which changes every year, comprises the second act of this event. Each year the setting, time period and music changes, but Santa Claus always comes and all the children in the audience are invited up on stage for a musical number with Mr. and Mrs. Claus. For tickets or further information, contact the Haugh Performing Arts Center box office at (626) 9639411 or check the website at www. haughpac.com.

Hancock set for British GT finale Ollie Hancock will make his British GT Championship comeback at Donington Park
The 27-year-old’s late call-up is due to season regular Adam Carroll’s European Le Mans Series commitments, meaning Hancock will share the Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 alongside experienced GT campaigner Gary Eastwood in Anthony Cheshire’s squad. Notwithstanding his last-minute appearance, the ex-works Lotus driver is confident that Eastwood’s second place at Leicestershire’s 2.498-mile circuit 12 months ago bodes well for a strong result. However, despite the guaranteed buzz of Donington’s two-hour championship showdown, Hancock will be focused on proving his credentials ahead of a planned permanent return next season.

Ollie Hancock: “I’m really excited about Donington Park. I’ve known Anthony for many years and while we’ve always tried to work together, it hasn’t been possible until now. I’ve never raced the 458 before, but I’m used to driving different cars on a weekly basis so adapting shouldn’t be a problem. FF
Corse is an extremely professional outfit that prepares their cars to a very high standard, so I’m sure I’ll have everything at my disposal to hit the ground running. It’s also the perfect time to return to British GT as I’m looking atToyota a 1/2 pg V drive for 2015. Finally, I must 031314 thank Gary and Anthony 4Cfor this fantastic opportunity.” JG
Super-quick Pic claims superb Monza podium Arthur Pic produced a stunning display in round nine of the 2014 GP2 Series campaign at Monza last weekend (September 5-7) to claim his second podium of the season in Saturday’s Feature Race before following it up with seventh on Sunday. The Frenchman signaled his intent from the word go at the Italian Grand Prix venue, known as the Cathedral of Speed due to its ultra-fast layout, by topping the timesheets during Friday morning’s free practice. And he maintained that form in the afternoon’s qualifying session when his subsequent benchmark was only bettered in the dying moments. But despite missing out on a maiden GP2 pole position, second place still represented the 22-year-old’s best grid slot of the year. Come the start of Saturday’s Feature Race, Pic’s decent getaway immediately helped him threaten polesitter Stoffel Vandoorne as they ran down to the tight first chicane. While the Campos Racing driver’s attempt didn’t quite yield the hopedfor result, it did provide the McLaren protégé ahead with a good insight of what was to come over the next 30 laps. Shod with the medium compound tires, Arthur delivered a strong first stint by matching the leader’s pace while comfortably keeping 2012 GP3 champion Mitch
NEW 2014 CAMRY SE
Evans at arm’s length behind. Indeed, such was his pace that Pic still emerged a net second from his mandatory pit-stop on lap 13 despite losing a couple of seconds. On new tires he wasted no time making up the lost ground by gradually hunting down Vandoorne ahead. While Arthur proved the faster in sectors one and three, the Belgian’s extra downforce was enough to give him some breathing space through the middle part of the lap. This seesaw battle between the two GP2 rookies would last the entire race, with Pic maintaining the pressure on his rival right up until the checkered flag where just six tenths separated them. Second on Saturday translated into seventh on Sunday’s partially reversed Sprint Race grid, from where Pic once again made a solid start and held position before an accident further back prompted a Safety Car period. Once racing resumed, it wasn’t long before Arthur was involved in a fierce threecar tussle involving GP2 veteran Jon Lancaster and Williams F1 reserve driver Felipe Nasr. Although Lancaster initially got past, Pic quickly replied by stunning the Briton with a commanding highspeed move down the inside at Parabolica. That prompted
the Hilmer Motorsport man to exceed track limits on the run down the start/finish straight in his attempt to reclaim the place. Although successful on track, stewards later applied a post-race 20-second penalty for the unfair pass. Pic was able to maintain a strong pace thereafter to come across the line eighth, before Lancaster’s penalty moved him up one spot in the final result. “I’m very happy with our overall performance at Monza,” explained Arthur afterwards. “We were on the pace right from free practice and the car proved competitive throughout the whole weekend. It’s a shame that I caught some traffic in qualifying as we certainly had the speed to secure pole position. “We went with a different set-up to our main rivals so the car had less downforce. On Saturday I managed to stay close to Stoffel until the very end but he didn’t make any mistakes so I never really had a proper shot at overtaking him. Nevertheless, I was still delighted to claim my second podium of the season. Pic’s GP2 Series campaign continues next month (October 10-12) when the championship travels to Russia for the first time.

5 ways to change how teachers function in K-12 classrooms Educational researcher says it will boost learning & cut costs
Less than half of high school graduates who took the SAT in 2013 were prepared for college, continuing a five-year trend. Less than half – 44 percent -- who took the ACT had the reading skills necessary for college. That’s down from 53 percent in 2009. And nearly a third failed to meet standards in four areas: reading, English, science and math. The failures have persisted despite years of new tests, new curricula and new demands on teachers, notes educational researcher and consultant Charles M. Reigeluth, author of “Reinventing Schools: It’s Time to Break the Mold,” (www.reigeluth. net). “We continue to approach the same problems with the same sorts of solutions, despite the fact that they’re not working,” he says. “Instead, we need a fundamental shift in how we educate our children. Our public school system was designed to meet the needs of a long-ago era – the Industrial Age. It’s not working because we’re now in the Information Age.” Teachers unfairly shoulder much of the blame for the lack of progress, he notes, but they’re hamstrung by roles and rules that don’t work for 21st century students. “We need to change from teacher-centered education to learner-centered. In the Industrial Age paradigm, teachers are a judge and a perceived threat. In the Information Age, they should be guides and coaches who help students overcome obstacles,” says Reigeluth. His multidimensional approach includes reducing bureaucracy in schools; encouraging students to teach each other with teacher supervision; having interns and other paraprofessionals, including retiree volunteers, assist with guiding student learning; and creating an “educational cooperative,” where a community’s adults can earn access to learning resources, advancing their own education, in exchange for helping students learn. “The new paradigm can significantly reduce the cost of education while increasing the quality,” says Reigeluth, who outlines the five new roles teachers would have in
this redesigned system. • Mentor … the same 20 to 30 students for several years, addressing all aspects of student development. Students and teachers would develop the deeper relationships that foster real caring on both sides. Mentors would help students prepare a personal learning plan for each project period, six to 12 weeks, including helping each student and his parents choose appropriate instructional goals, subject to standards set by the community, state and nation. Mentors would also help identify and support the best means for each student to achieve those goals. • Designer … of student work options, mostly projects or tasks, to engage students in the learning process. Open educational resources developed by teachers throughout the country and available to all educators for free via the Internet can alleviate much of the burden of the designer role. • Facilitator … of the learning process, which entails monitoring student progress, enhancing student motivation and coaching student performance. • Learner … the teacher is always learning with the students, about students, from and for the students. The teacher does not have all the answers, but the teacher helps students find answers. And the teacher is always learning more about how best to meet students’ needs. The new paradigm provides sufficient support for teacher learning. • Owner and manager … of the school. Like lawyers and accountants in a small firm, teachers would be partners who own their public school and make decisions about its operations, including budgeting and staffing. This model is already a success at the Minnesota New Country School and other EdVisions schools. This role elevates teachers to that of true professionals, rather than workers controlled by an all-powerful bureaucracy. “These new roles offer empowerment to those who are most affected by our system, the student and the teacher, the latter of whom I suggest calling ‘guides’ to better reflect their new roles,” Reigeluth says. “The new roles better serve students in
the age in which we live.” About Charles M. Reigeluth: Charles M. Reigeluth is a distinguished educational researcher who focuses on paradigm change
in education. He has a B.A. in economics from Harvard University, and a Ph.D. in instructional psychology from Brigham Young University. He was a professor

We’re on
Coming off a blowout win a week ago in the season opener against Alhambra High, the Arcadia High football team is hoping to double its success this week against Monrovia High. And if multi-talented player Josh Benson has his way, the Apaches will have nothing to worry about. Playing running back, fullback and linebacker, Benson said he is happiest when he has the ball in his hands. “My favorite is to run the ball,” he said. “I like to move and I like to run people over and score. I’m very good at that.” However, on defense Benson is no slouch as he ran an interception back for a touchdown against Alhambra and forced the Moors quarterback to fumble the ball. Benson said his success on defense comes from the work the entire squad has put in so far.
“Last year, we weren’t as physical as a defense,” he said. “This year, we’re flying to the ball more. Everybody’s working as a team to tackle the runner.” Now a senior, Benson transferred to Arcadia from Cathedral High prior to his junior year. He said things are going well under second-year coach Andrew Policky. “He’s been working with me well,” Benson said of Policky. “We’ve been going to the trainings – the 7-on-7s – and during practice he would motivate me a lot, try to get me looks. I’m pretty happy with what he’s been doing.” Policky said Benson is a good player to have on the team. “Josh is the type of kid who had the respect of all of his teammates because they can all see how important football is to him,” Policky said. “He works at it constantly. He’s a funny kid who always has a smile on his face and keeps the group
loose but when it's serious time or time to work he can switch hats in a hurry. He has been a great fit amongst his teammates and our program since he transferred in from Cathedral last year.” Policky added that Benson has a very nice skill set. “He is deceptively fast and possesses a very high football IQ which allows him to play faster,” Policky said. “He has great hands and plays with a nastiness that sets the tone for the rest of our group. Because his football IQ is so high he can switch from inside linebacker to outside without any problems and is also a threat to catch the ball out of the backfield. Without Josh we are much less flexible in what we are able to do scheme wise on both sides.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@ beaconmedianews.com and followed via Twitter @ segallanded).

La Salle victorious over Pasadena High
By Shel Segal fine,” he said. “We sat four quarterback Will Pyburn to starters out tonight and we got Cantos. it done with guys who need to La Salle made it, 14-0, get it done if we make a deep with 4:37 left in the first quarrun.” ter on a 6-yard touchdown Pasadena coach Doug run by Pyburn that was set up Bledsoe said the Bulldogs did by a 79-yard punt return from their best to keep up with La Salle. “We played all right,” Bledsoe said. “We didn’t play our best game. But we did play with our hearts, and that’s what counts right now.” He added there is one thing his team needs to work -Photo by John Blacktock on. “Execution, execuReyna put on quite the performance in the losing ef- tion,” Bledsoe said. “In the fort, completing 21 of 34 pass- end, La Salle played a great es for 238 yards, one touch- game. They out-executioned us and made a few great down and two interceptions. La Salle coach Russell plays. Things went their way Gordon tipped his cap to tonight. We got to get better Pasadena’s effort following from it.” Taking advantage of the game. “That was a good job by good field possession early, the Bulldogs,” Gordon said. La Salle scored first with “The main thing is we fought 9:49 left in the first quarter four quarters and a half and when running back David La Salle found the end zone I’m proud of my kids.” Gordon added his team on a 1-yard touchdown run played tough when it count- to cap a three-play, 26-yard drive. That touchdown was ed. “We’re going to be set up by a 23-yard pass from
Robbie Hillier. But Pasadena would cut the lead in half just seconds later with a 98-yard kickoff return from Chaz Collins and would tie the game late in the first quarter on a 41-yard
touchdown run from running back Joseph Thomas. (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com and followed via Twitter @segallanded).
Yuri Kochiyama’s life celebrated what's going on in your neighborhood and get involved, and take care of yourself like Yuri at 93 years young. There is a current effort being made to have Yuri Kochiyama put on a postage stamp. Malcolm X has one, why not Yuri?
STYLE MEETS FUNCTIONALITY
Who is Yuri Kochiyama? What a special honor to attend the celebration of the life of Yuri Kochiyama, a true human rights activist who at 93 years old stayed true to her mantra: “to keep expanding your horizons, decolonize your mind, and cross borders.” The celebration began with the Maceo Hernandez and East LA Taiko, who played the Taiko drums. The sound of thunder vibrated through Aratani/ Japan American Theatre. Located in little Tokyo, over 900 friends and family sat in silence as the sound of thunder continued to roar. Then the music stopped as the red velvet curtain slowly came down. Emcee Warren Furutani took us on a special journey through Yuri’s life through video and music and into the stories about her life in Harlem apartment #3b. If you were in the movement, you were obligated to stop by and see Yuri. Yuri immersed herself in the civil rights movement after the experience of living in American concentration camp in Jerome, Arkansas
By Ralph Walker left an imprint on her soul. She was the mother of six children with a very supportive husband who had served in World War II. Both shared a very close friendship with Malcolm X. Yuri would later in life find herself crawling toward Malcolm X while others ran the other way on that fatal day February 21,1965 at the Audubon Ballroom In New York. Yuri would cradle the head of Malcolm X in her lap saying, “Please Malcolm...stay alive.” Monrovia’s own curator Jimmy O arranged for the family to receive a painting of Yuri from the artist Shuji Nishimuyou, which was accepted by Yuri’s daughter Audee Kochiyama Holman. Bibi Angola shared her special memories working with Yuri 40 years ago in a courtroom hearing for Assata Shakur, a political prisoner. Bibi Angola encouraged us all to put a little piece of Yuri in our lives: to feed the homeless, help someone with their homework, believe in something higher than yourself, dig deep and care about people over profits, find out

Jorge Reyna knows something about CIF championships
Pasadena High quarterback Jorge Reyna knows something about CIF championships. The starting QB for Downey High two seasons ago as a sophomore, Reyna is hoping to do make CIF again as a member of the Bulldogs. And if Friday night’s season opener---a 50-7 thrashing of South El Monte High--is any indication, Reyna just might have his prediction come true. Reyna said it is his leadership that will make a difference in this team. He added, however, it is a building process. “The team’s coming together,” Reyna said. “We’re learning different schemes. We’re learning to play as one, as a family. It’s a great experience.” He added his experience on the field – and in the locker room – will be invaluable for this young team. “I’ve been in this situation,” he said. “In crunch time they need someone to look up to hold the reins and
By SHEL SEGAL take control of the game. You need to manage it, on and off the field, do your homework, on the field, off the field, keep everyone in line and win a game.” Growing up Reyna said football was sort of a family affair. “My father got me into football,” he said. “From what my family says he was a great football player – a defensive end – and I wanted to follow in his footsteps.” Reyna said he transferred to Pasadena as his family moved here from Downey. He added last year he passed for more than 2,000 yards and rushed for more than 1,000 yards. So, what will it be like taking over a team that was 1-9 last year and has fallen on tough times? “They’ve had some issues, from what I’ve heard about, but this is a new team, driven by ambition and it’s looking really good,” Reyna said. And what about playing

in the uber-competitive, eightteam Pacific League? “It will be real interesting,” he said. “I love a challenge.” In addition, he said his expectations are quite simple. “I want to be undefeated. I believe we can do it. And I want to win a league championship. And win CIF.” And if someone pays attention to him along the way, well that’s OK, too. “I love the glory,” he said. “I love the spotlight. I’ve always been like that.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com)

18 Year old runs for State Assembly – will challenge Chris Holden’s seat
He might be the youngest candidate ever to run for statewide office in California history. But 18-year-old Nathaniel Tsai is still hoping to get your vote. Tsai is running on the Republican ticket for the state Assembly seat that is held by Democratic incumbent Chris Holden in a district that stretches along Interstate 210 from Pasadena to Upland, excluding the city of Arcadia. He entered the primary season late and utilizing the write-in vote, beat out two other write-in candidates.
By SHEL SEGAL Now he’s poised to fight an admittedly uphill battle in a heavily Democratic district. But Tsai is not letting that stop him. “My friends and I were originally looking for internships to get involved with,” Tsai said. “We didn’t see anyone running against Chris Holden. I wanted to get involved.” A 2013 graduate of San Marino High School who is studying government at Claremont McKenna College, Tsai said he doesn’t lean as far to the right as much of the party outside California
does. “I’m socially moderate and fiscally conservative,” he said. “The issues I felt were most important to me this election were the fiscal issues.” “I am really against Common Core,” he said. “In the state of California it’s probably not going to get repealed. Fourteen out of 38 states that had Common Core repealed it in less than three years.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@ beaconmedianews.com and followed via Twitter @ segallanded).

Spend or invest? New thoughts on an age-old dilemma
A familiar experience for many Americans is that as fast as money comes in, it goes out the door again in pursuit of the next “must have” purchase. Such spending habits can take a toll on plans to build up savings for the future. The key is finding a balance between immediate gratification and long-term financial security. In many instances, we can all find ways save on daily purchases to set more money aside to help meet goals like saving for retirement or a child’s education. The bigger challenge comes when it is time to make a major purchase – a home, a car, appliances or home improvements. These expenditures can require the immediate outlay of thousands of dollars. You may have to drain money from savings or at the very least reduce available funds to invest for your future. When is the expenditure worth it, and when is the cost too prohibitive relative to your financial future? Judging the “real” cost There are a variety of ways to assess the financial
value of a major purchase. The approach you choose can vary depending on the type of expenditure you make. Here are three ways to think about it: 1. Opportunity cost Whenever you’re making a significant purchase on a product or service, you need to look at how it will impact your financial future. It is important to assess the opportunity cost of making a cash purchase today. For example, consider what could happen if instead of spending $5,000 on a home entertainment center, that money was invested for 20 years earning 7% per year. Over time, that $5,000 could grow to more than $19,000 (not accounting for taxes or investment fees). Assessing potential opportunity cost is one way to better evaluate the real cost of making a significant purchase. 2. A “return on investment” Another consideration is whether there is a payback on the purchase. For example, paying for a class or a college degree may provide a future return in
the form of the potential for increased income. Anybody who has spent (or taken loans for) $100,000 or more for a medical or law degree likely does so with a reasonable expectation that future income will more than make up the difference. A home improvement may be looked at in the same way – an investment that may be recouped in the future. 3. Borrowing the money to cover purchase costs While it may be tempting to pay for purchases with credit cards, home equity loans or other types of financing, you have to think about how much borrowing the money will cost in the long run. The key here is to limit interest charges as much as possible. It’s not that you necessarily need to avoid all debt. In some instances you can incur “good debt,” which is used to purchase an asset that has a long lifespan, increasing value and other potential benefits such as tax deductibility of interest. Mortgages and student loans are typically consid-
ered good debt. Major expenditures aren’t just about the immediate benefit. You should consider whether the current cost would become more significant over time because the money was not invested for your future. Jean D.

Gov. Brown signs agreement with Ambassador of Japan Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. on Monday signed an agreement with Japan's Ambassador to the United States, Kenichiro Sasae, to further cooperation between Japan and California on climate change, renewable energy, trade and investment, zeroemission vehicles, high-speed rail and water. The agreement calls for the two entities to collaborate on technologies that will support California’s goal of having 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2025, as well as innovation related to high-speed rail, water conservation and renewable energy. Last year, Governor Brown met with Osaka Governor Ichiro Matsui and signed an agreement to strengthen cooperation between California and its sister-state in Japan on clean energy, environmental
protection, tourism and other areas. The agreement follows Governor Brown’s July Trade and Investment Mission to Mexico and meetings with Mexico's President Enrique Peña Nieto in Sacramento and Los Angeles last month. Over the past year, Governor Brown has also signed accords with leaders from Mexico, China, Canada, Israel and Peru to combat climate change, strengthen California's economic ties, and expand cooperation on promising research. In February, Governor Brown established the California International Trade and Investment Advisory Council to help expand international business opportunities for California companies and appointed former U.S. Ambassador to Hungary Eleni Kounalakis as chair.

Faith in our future – Mayfield School On August 28, Mayfield Senior School celebrated its first day of school by marking a historic milestone in the school's history and commemorating the completion the final phase of renovation funded by the Faith in Our Future campaign. In a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new Student Commons and catering kitchen, the doors to this contemporary facility were officially opened. In addition to these spaces, a multipurpose room named in honor of Sr. Nancy Jean Turner Center, who served on Mayfield’s Board of Trustees for over 30 years, graces the south end of this recently renovated space. This beautifully appointed 3,500 square-foot student-centered facility includes a bright gathering area, full-service kitchen and state of the art meeting and event room. Here, students, grades 9-12, will be able to gather, share ideas, study, eat, talk, laugh, relax and create memories that will live in their hearts forever. Framed photos of past and present Mayfield students grace the walls of the Student Commons and give all who enter a feeling of hope, pride, nostalgia and faith in what the future holds. Mayfield Senior School’s Faith in Our Future campaign is a campus expansion and enhancement program. The campaign not only renovated existing spaces on campus but also enriched the teaching, learning and community experiences throughout the school. This is the largest capital
campaign in the history of Mayfield Senior School and was approved in 2006 with designated projects assigned to several phases. This final project phase was completed in August 2014, just in time to welcome students back to campus this school year. Thanks to the generosity of benefactors, the Faith in Our Future campaign transformed the former convent wing of Strub Hall into a 21st century learning environment at a fraction of the

cost of building new facilities. Six new technology equipped classrooms were added as well as a new 5,000 square-foot integrated library and technology center. In addition, a stunning patio called Cornelia’s Courtyard, named after Mayfield foundress, Cornelia Connelly, was constructed. In fact, all of the new classrooms are named in honor of Holy Child Sisters who were critical to the success and history of Mayfield Senior School. “The completion of this project ensures that the Society of the Holy Child Jesus remains at the heart of our Mayfield mission, vision and traditions, and will also help us
to create a remarkable history to pass on to future generations of Mayfield students,” says Rita McBride, Head of School. In addition, the master plan and funding throughout the campaign have allowed the digital infrastructure of the school to remain current. By "meeting the wants of the age,” students now have state of the art access to wireless service anywhere on campus. This, in turn, supports the use of iPads, e-books and innovative learning and teaching methods. Campaign objectives also kept the environment in mind and reduced Mayfield’s carbon footprint by installing upgraded insulation materials and improving energy efficiency. Head of School, Rita McBride, said, “I always look forward to the first day of school, but this year was even more special. It was not only a joy to see the looks on the girls’ faces when they saw the beautiful new spaces but it also filled my heart with a deep sense of completion and satisfaction to see the vision in the master plan accomplished and the support of so many supporters and benefactors bring that vision to fruition.” Mrs. McBride cut the ribbon and blessed the new space while wishing students a successful and joyous school year. Mayfield’s Student Body President also gave a heartfelt speech that conveyed the Mayfield tradition of Actions Not Words.

The call was placed by the subject’s daughter who claimed her father had been drinking all day and was not answering his phone. A previous incident of the man stating he’d drink himself to death caused the daughter’s concern. When Officers arrived on scene, they were met by a very intoxicated male subject. When Officers informed him they were there because of his daughter’s concern for his welfare, the man was staggering and having trouble maintaining his balance. The man informed Officers he was depressed and that was the reason for his drinking.

The man was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital to be placed on a 72 hour medical hold.

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.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $378,355.15 (Estimated).

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.
