Many years ago a visiting English friend said to me, "Dorothy, do you realize that you have only two mirrors in this entire house but you have a clock in every single room? I think that says something about you." Well yeah it does, but not just about me, but our society. Our lives are so controlled by time. There's the time of our daily lives: time to go to bed, time to get up, time to go to work, time on the freeway (or 'road' as we used to call it). Time to exercise? Time for the doctor appointment,
the hair appointment, the appointment for lunch with a friend, the whatever appointment. All measured in minutes and hours. Then there is the timeline of life, measured in days and years. There is no guarantee how long it will take to get from one end to the other. I am closer to the end of that line than the beginning, but I've been blessed to spend over three quarters of a century to get to the point I am. Oh the sights I have seen and the experiences I've had. Some good, some not so good, but all influenced in some manner by time. Again, sometimes that was good, sometimes not so good. That three quarters plus was a long time but
it was made up of shorter bits and pieces. Pieces that turned definite thoughts to questioning thoughts, questioning to definite; dislikes to likes, likes to dislikes; forgetting to remembering, remembering to forgetting. Pieces that turned red hair to white, smooth skin to wrinkled, muscle control to gravity control. You get the picture. Now, as I continue my journey to the end, I must be a bit selective in how I spend my time. There is so much yet to do. As one of my young friends said, "Our lives are made up of choices. We choose to do something and in doing that we automatically choose to leave something else undone." Aarrgghh, the TYRANNY OF TIME !!!
American Legion Post 247 in Arcadia holds Candlelight Vigil for first responders American Legion Post 247 in Arcadia held a Candlelight Vigil in honor of local first responders and day of remembrance and service. This was a special opportunity to pay tribute to those who served, and continue to serve our country and in our communities. They honored all those who answer the call and remember all who have sacrificed. Scott Sinclair, Master of Ceremonies, reflected on lives lost and recognized the strength and courage of the actions of our fire department, police and emergency medical technicians every day. He then lit the candle of courage. Ed Barlow, Commander of the American Legion of Arcadia, which assisted in the New York City recovery efforts through the Red Cross in 2001, remembered "American flags flew from every window and every telephone pole," he was very proud of "the way the country got behind every recovery effort." He lit the strength candle. The prayer was given by Mindy Sinclair, filling in for Chaplin Shirley Dean, to "help leaders make good decisions and live in peace and harmony." She lit the candle of kindness. Sandy Housnecht

A bi-monthly column by Heather Backstrom, Ed.D.
Whole Collaboration There’s no such thing as “the one man show” when it comes to work. Even sole business owners need to collaborate with others to be successful. Whether a sole business owner or an employee in an organization it’s true that “the whole is greater than the parts.” Collaborative synergy among people is what generates results. Realizing collaboration isn’t something that just magically happens, instead it comes from actively investing in creating and sustaining teamwork. Why is collaboration hard? Sometimes it’s because we think we can do it better and faster on our own. It requires including others, working across boundaries and building trust. All of that takes time and attention. So what’s the current state of collaboration where you work? Let’s begin by asking some questions. Do people care about the success of others? Is information shared openly? Are problems solved together? Are mistakes admitted and viewed as learning opportunities? Are differences valued? Is the environment
characterized by cooperation or competition? Is everyone’s job valued and appreciated? Whether you’re a leader, a team member or a sole business owner commit to taking one action today, and every day, to foster collaboration. Here are some ideas to get you going. Ask For Involvement: If you have a decision to make go to someone else, someone you normally haven’t, and ask for their perspective. Getting their input not only demonstrates collaboration, it’s likely that the decision will be better than had you done it on your own. Or if you’re about to embark upon a new task or project ask someone else to join you. Be sure to approach someone who works outside your normal group or who tends to think differently than you. This, too, demonstrates collaboration and will add to a better outcome. Give Credit: Acknowledge the good work of someone else. This is sure to give someone a boost because everyone enjoys getting a compliment about their work. Giv-
ing credit shows that you care and that their contribution matters. Appreciating and acknowledging colleagues naturally generates collaboration and cooperation. It also diffuses competition. Share Information: Passing along information to colleagues that helps them in their work is another simple way to foster collaboration. Do this enough and it’s likely that the gesture will be reciprocated. You’ll also earn the reputation for being open and helpful, which also fosters collaboration. Before today is over be sure to pass along useful information to at least 3 different colleagues. Remember, collaboration is about “the whole” rather than “the parts.” Collaboration helps employees feel more connected with their jobs and colleagues, which can only benefit the business. And, of course, it makes for a great work environment. Heather Backstrom is an executive coach, leadership development consultant and speaker.

time of need, there are thousands of credits that have accumulated which also covers the water district's operating expenses. The long-term debt is combined with other longterm debt and a wire transfer is made to the Bank of New York Bond Trustee and has been charged to the Administration Department, which is where it should be. The City, as a whole, is the liable party to these many longterm debts and not a particular department of the City. Is the real reason that the City increased the water rates because they first started a conservation program of water use and the people responded for a greater reduction than they were asked to do." This reduced the income to the City by more
than $13M. This is probably the major reason for raising the rates and not simply a socalled water shortage. The truth is, the operating costs of the Water Department have gone down due to not using the water pumps. This results in large savings on electricity and chemical treatments. If the City Government were to be truthful to themselves, then they would cancel one or both of the rate increases of this year and reduce all the other restrictions that they have imposed on the people. Try putting themselves in the position of serving the people at the lowest cost to the customers. TO THY-SELF BE TRUE! Sierra Madre Watchman

San Gabriel priest accused of sexual abuse

Victor De Los Santos, D.D.S.
The City of Sierra Madre raised the water rates for two basic reasons. They said so because the City would have to buy water and that would cost $260.00/per acre foot. They also said that $945,000 of long-term debt was paid for by the water bill income. They also raised the water meter and sewer charges just to make sure that all bases are covered with these increases. The purchase of the water with cash dollars has no basis in fact since the City has not written a check to pay for any water as yet. The truth is the water is acquired by the use of credits that were paid by property taxes going directly to the San Gabriel Metropolitan Water District over many years in the past. Since this is the first
Questions about a priest’s past came to the surface on Sept. 10 as representatives from Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests had words with parishioners from the San Gabriel Mission regarding why a priest was removed in June, according to a published report. Representatives from that network were looking into why Fr. Bruce Wellems was relieved of his duties at the church where he had been for approximately two years. And network spokesperson Joelle Casteix wanted more information about an alleged incident of sexual abuse that happened when Wellems was younger. The network also held press conferences on that day in San Gabriel and Chicago, where Wellems now lives and lived before he came to San Gabriel. Casteix said her network recently learned of two letters
By Shel Segal sent by the Claretian Missionary Fathers order in Chicago to the parish here about Wellems’ departure and called the letters a “smoking gun,” the published report said. Casteix added “it doesn’t look good” from Wellems’ angle, the published report said. But several parishioners did come to the press conference and lend their voices in behalf of Wellems’ defense and his two years at the mission. “The parishioners said they were informed that Wellems was asked to resign after a record surfaced of inappropriate behavior with another minor when Wellems was 15 years old. Wellems returned to Chicago, where he previously worked with impoverished youths,” the report said. Wellems responded to his critics that he is a priest
in Chicago and on sabbatical. And as he believes in the network’s mission, he is saddened by the accusations it has made against him. “I am appalled and disappointed in their poor judgment to reveal my juvenile past, thus discrediting my good work,” Wellems said in a statement. “Worse still for me, in their quest to protect victims, I feel as if (the network), with this announcement, is victimizing the thousands of families in the parishes where I have worked. These people have made great strides to be transparent and understand what it is to be healthy faith families.” Parishioners said Wellems told them the Los Angeles Archdiocese gave him three days to leave.

City of Duarte asks residents and businesses to comply with new state water restrictions
The City of Duarte has passed Resolution 14-R-21 making it a code violation for residents or businesses to fail to comply with the recently passed State Emergency Regulations addressing severe statewide drought conditions. Regulations include: (1) using potable water on outdoor landscapes causing runoff into adjacent properties; roadways, parking lots, or private/public walkways; (2) using a hose to wash a vehicle except when the hose is fitted with a shut-off nozzle; (3) using water on driveways and sidewalks; and (4) using potable water in a fountain or other decorative water feature except where water is part of a recirculating system. Violations of these regulations may result in fines. Specifically, the City is treating violations as an infraction utilizing written warnings combined with sufficient time for the violation to be corrected. If, in some cases, warnings fail, the City can then issue citations with penalties ranging from a fine of $75 for the first offense, $150 for the second, and $300 for the third. The decision to move forward with Statewide restrictions came after a State Water Resources Board sur-
vey showed previous conservation measures failed to achieve the 20% reduction in water usage sought by Governor Brown back in January of this year. These regulations were also reaffirmed more recently on August 14th when the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
-Courtesy Photo
issued a resolution requiring all water agencies such as the City’s water system owner, California American Water company to inform their customers about the four statewide, mandatory water restrictions. Within 10 days of this ruling, California American Water published notice of the Emergency Regulation in both local newspapers and on their respective website. They also, within 20 days, provided direct mail notice to
their customers of the newly enacted emergency regulations. They, like the City, will also continue to publicize the restrictions throughout April of 2015. Additionally, Cal Am shall assist in assuring compliance by working with the City’s Code Compliance division charged with enforcing the mandatory restrictions. In a prior resolution passed by the Duarte City Council on May 14th, the City had previously asked Duarte residents and businesses to take immediate action to “voluntarily” conserve water. Duarte residents were encouraged to take simple steps to save water, including taking shorter showers, not leaving water running, checking for leaks, washing only full laundry loads, promptly fixing defective plumbing or sprinklers, and watering only when landscaping needed it during early morning hours. Since 2009, the City has been taking steps to conserve water. For example, City street crews have utilized drip irrigation, regularly inspected and replaced broken sprinklers, utilized weather sensing irrigation clocks, and regularly replaced turf with drought tolerant shrubs. Most recently, the Facilities Mainte-
nance Division of the Parks and Recreation Department has also taken measures to conserve water at the City's facilities by installing water free urinals, automatic toilet flush systems, and low-flow shower heads. California American Water is an investor-owned water utility providing water service to about 28,000 households and businesses, in the cities of Bradbury, Duarte, El
Monte, Irwindale, Monrovia, Rosemead, San Gabriel, San Marino and Temple City, as well as unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County and the Baldwin Hills area. It is these communities that comprise the Los Angeles service area. The majority of the water service in the Los Angeles district is groundwater, pumped from the region’s main and central basins.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale According to industry experts, there are several physical problems that will come under scrutiny during inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of
these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable preinspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into
costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, call toll-free 1-888-300-4632 and enter 1003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

Monrovia commemorates Lt. Colonel Allen Allensworth’s 100th anniversary By Susie H. Ling
Despite the thermometer sizzling at 107, a diverse crowd of 150 – and two horses - gathered at Monrovia Historical Museum on September 14th to commemorate Lt. Colonel Allen Allensworth 100th anniversary. The New Buffalo Soldiers rode their steed down Lemon Avenue to begin the event. Representing the Wildcats, William Moore’s Camerata Singers sang the national anthem. Ralph Walker, coordinator of the event, said, “This was a watershed moment in Monrovia. Allensworth encouraged our community to come together this day.” The crowd included Assemblymembers Chris Holden and Anthony Portantino, representative from Congressional Representative Napolitano, and all of Monrovia ‘s City Council. The crowd also included siblings
Betty Fisher Thomas and Timothy Fisher, whose great-grandfather came to Monrovia over 120 years ago. The crowd included 87-year young Jessica Valentine who was one of the first African American women to graduate from college after attending Monrovia Arcadia Duarte High School. Jimmy Oballes and Sergio Jimenez of the Monrovia Latino Heritage Society were there. “But most importantly,” said Thomas Stratton, President of Friends of Allensworth, “There were children. Did you know Reverend Allensworth built a school before he built his church in Tulare County? Allensworth was self-taught but he valued education,” continued Stratton. Members of the Bakersfield Chapter of Friends of Allensworth laughed good-heartedly that Monrovia was hotter

than the Central Valley this special day. Thankfully, the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, Monrovia Interfaith Council, and Museum volunteers donated plenty of ice and water bottles. Mark Still of the Monrovia Historical Museum said, “How can we complain? Allen Allensworth walked from the SPRR station to Monrovia 100 years ago
today – perhaps in similar weather. Did he complain? His example continues to inspire us.” Professor Susie Ling, who teaches Asian American studies concluded, “Allensworth, born in slavery, was an American visionary. He worked his whole life to improve racial equality in America. We have yet a lot to accomplish.”
Flu, pneumonia and shingles clinic Oct. 15 at Pasadena Senior Center Rite Aid will host a flu, pneumonia and shingles clinic Wednesday, Oct. 15, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Pasadena Senior Center, 85 E. Holly St. Flu vaccinations will be offered free to people with Medicare Part B or Medical and to those with private insurance from Cigna, United Health Care and Aetna PPO. Pneumonia vaccinations will be offered free to people with Medicare Part B; coverage by other insurance will be determined after a short phone questionnaire. Coverage for shingles vaccinations will be determined after a short phone questionnaire. Because the immune system weakens as people age, older adults are more susceptible to influenza (flu), which causes 200,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths nationwide each year. Advanced age can make pneumonia more dangerous.
It kills more people in the U.S. annually than all other vaccine-preventable diseases combined. Shingles is caused by a reactivation of the chicken pox virus in the body. The older a person is, the more severe the effects of shingles, including severe pain, burning and numbness. To sign up for flu, pneumonia or shingles vaccinations, call the Welcome Desk at (626) 795-4331 and ask to speak with someone in the Social Services Department. You will be asked some questions over the phone to determine your share of the cost based on your individual health plan coverage. The Pasadena Senior Center is a nonprofit organization that offers recreational, educational, wellness and social services to people ages 50 and over in a friendly environment.

McDade OIR Report
Continued from page 1
Officers Association, preventing the release of even the redacted OIR Report that the City intended to release. The matter returns to his court on October 14, 2014. City Manager Michael Beck issued the following after Judge James Chalfant renewed the TRO: “The City understands and appreciates the interest of the public and the news media in accessing the Office of Independent Review’s report on the shooting of Kendrec McDade. The City continues to support both the principles of open government and our officers’ privacy rights as guaranteed by state law. We believe we had the right balance between the two and we were prepared to issue a redacted report. However, as a result of the Court’s action this morning, the City has been ordered not to disclose the report or any elements thereof at this time. It is important for the City to be able to release as much information as permissible and we look forward to a fair resolution of this issue.” This is the second attempt for Pasadena Police Officers’ Association to stop the release of the report, saying the contents include personnel information and releasing it would violate the police officers’ rights. The City of Pasadena late Thursday announced that it will release next Thursday (today) the Office of Independent Review (“OIR”) Report on its police department shooting of the unarmed Kendrec McDade. The City qualified its notice to requesters of the OIR Report “unless there is a court order directing us otherwise.” Which, of course, is exactly what happened. Attorney Elbie J. Hickambottom, counsel for McDade’s mother Anya Slaughter, the Pasadena NAACP, the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, ACT, and ACLU activist Kris Ockershauser, responded to the City’s notice with cautious optimism, saying “We’ve succeeded in moving the City forward in two ways. First, the city is no longer hiding behind the Pasadena Police Officers Association's (“PPOA”) skirts and its collusive lawsuit with the PPOA to avoid deciding on release of the OIR Report. Second, the City has gone from City Manager Beck’s
unacceptable position a month ago that it would release only the OIR Report recommendations but not the rest of the report; now the City says it will release all of the report except for its redacting information that is legally protected against disclosure. We are concerned that the City may over-redact the report in order to protect itself against damaging information, and we intend to take steps to make sure that does not happen.” Hickambottom added that “we agree that disclosure of the contents of police officer personnel records cannot and should not be disclosed, but only if that information has not already been put into the public record. But, for instance, there is a great deal of deposition testimony by Officers Newlen and Griffin in the federal court wrongful death case against them by McDade’s mother that is now public information. You cannot put that horse back in the barn. If the information is out in the public domain, it cannot be redacted from the OIR Report. An attorney representing the Los Angeles Times along with McDade’s mother, Anya Slaughter, Pasadena chapter of the NAACP, a community activist and local ACLU board member Kris Ockershauser, ACT and Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Greater Pasadena have all filed objections Tuesday to the union’s renewed attempt to now seal the report. James Chalfant already granted the temporary restraining order earlier this month, but later withdrew it to oblige the city of Pasadena to make a decision on what portions of the report it actually intended to release. Last Thursday, Pasadena issued a statement saying they would release a redacted version of the report today. Chalfant will hear a permanent seal request next month. The city has already agreed to a $1 million settlement in two separate lawsuits filed by McDade’s parents for civil rights violations and wrongful death. In the 2009 officer involved shooting of Leroy Barnes, the city also contracted with OIRG and under Chief Bernard Melichian’s watch, released that entire report to the public and press.
Neil A. Tadken named Rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Monrovia Public institution and celebration service slated for Sunday afternoon, October 19
On September 4, the Vestry of The Parish of St. Luke the Physician, Episcopal Church in Monrovia unanimously called the Rev. Neil A. Tadken to serve as Rector, starting immediately. A public institution and celebration of new mutual ministry led by the Right Reverend Mary Glasspool, Bishop Suffragan of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, will be held at the church on Sunday, October 19, at 3 p.m. Born and raised in New York, the Rev. Tadken earned his Master of Divinity degree from the Episcopal Theological School at Claremont/ Claremont School of Theology. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Occidental College and a Master of Fine Arts in Theater/Acting from Cornell University. Fr. Neil discerned
his priestly calling while an active parishioner at All Saint’s Church in Pasadena. Upon graduation from seminary, Neil worked as Program Director for ACTION: AIDS CareTeams in our Neighborhoods, an interfaith non-profit pastoral care ministry housed at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Laguna Beach. Following his ordination, he served as Associate Rector for Pastoral Care at St. James’ in the City, Los Angeles. He joined St. Luke’s as “Priest in Charge” in Aug. 2013. He is married to Frank Slesinski, an interior designer. Locally, the Rev. Tadken serves as treasurer for the Interfaith Council of Monrovia, as well as the Monrovia Ministerial Association. He is also working with Foothill Unity Center and
Rebuilding Together, as well as other non-profits, to help repurpose church and other local property to serve as “Seeds of Hope” community gardens that provide produce for need-based distribution and nutrition education. Neil has served on the board of the Episcopal Urban Internship Program, theBishop’s commission for HIV and AIDS Ministries, and currently serves on the Program Group for GLBT Ministries for the Dioceses of Los Angeles. Prior to ordination, the Rev. Tadken was a professional actor, director and founding member of the Basic Theater Co. in NYC. Between 1994 and 2001, soap opera watchers may have seen him recurring as “Don McTavish” on ABC’s General Hospital and Port Charles. In

1993, he founded and directed a national AIDS education and outreach effort for television called “Day of Compassion,” which became an annual event. He was honored with a “Ribbon of Hope Award” from theAcademy of Television Arts and Sciences in 1997 for that effort.

CalRTA #71 awards scholarships to prospective teachers
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.

Thanks to the legacy of Lorraine Anderson, the California Retired Teachers Association #71 (SGV) was able to award scholarships to two recent college graduates. Lorraine Anderson was a firm believer in education. A native of Wisconsin, she came to California with a major in education, never married, and spent her career on the faculty of El Monte High School until her retirement. Lorraine Anderson always retained her interest in education and in retirement was a longtime member of CalRTA #71. Lorraine Anderson’s bequest stated that she wanted to support public education in the San Gabriel Valley by having CalRTA #71 award scholarships to qualifying students who were in their final semester of college and who wanted to teach locally. Now two scholarships have been awarded to qualifying students who applied earlier and have recently graduated from college. One scholarship was awarded to CSU-Los An-

Crystal Ball celebrating its Silver Anniversary Returning for an unprecedented third time as Methodist Hospital’s Crystal Ball headliner, legendary singer/ songwriter Paul Anka will once again thrill guests with his timeless musical style October 11th at the Pasadena Convention Center. It is quite fitting that Anka, always a huge favorite with the guests, will be the special entertainment for this celebratory 25th Annual Crystal Ball. Named by Billboard Magazine one of the most successful performers ever, Anka’s hits include “Diana,” “Lonely Boy,” “Puppy Love,” and “Put Your Head On My Shoulder.” Anka knew that being a songwriter meant the power was in the pen. As a result, he wrote several hits, including “My Way,” “She’s A Lady,” the Academy Award-nominated theme for The Longest Day and notably penned the longest running theme in television history for The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and is the New York Times Bestselling author of his recently released autobiography, “My Way.” Remarkably, Anka is the only artist to have had a record on Billboard’s Top 100 chart for seven consecutive decades. Further in his ongoing prolific career, Anka co-wrote the lead song on the Michael Jackson album, Xscape, entitled “Love Never Felt So Good,” which went #1 in 50 countries around the world.

When finished in 2016, the all-new unit will occupy the entire floor of the Berger Tower, with sweeping views of the mountains and the Santa Anita Golf Course. Also fitting for this special occasion are the honorees chosen for this year: Christine and Michael Antonovich, whose tireless dedication to our mission and principles made them a natural choice for this special honor. In five short years, the couple has become familiar figures at Methodist Hospital events and staunch supporters of the many successful efforts to strengthen and grow our clinical programs. Christine, an actress who joined the Methodist Hospital foundation board five years ago, and Michael, a longtime Los Angeles County Supervisor, have actively and pas-
sionately supported the Crystal Ball and its efforts to rally community support for hospital services and programs. “Crystal Ball is a gala event that attracts more than 900 people each year and many dedicated people work very hard to make it successful”, Christine said. “It’s amazing to me to watch Crystal Ball come together. I’m very much looking forward to another wonderful event.” As its name suggest, Crystal Ball delivers a night of glitter and glamour, complete with a gourmet dinner, live and silent auctions and dancing for hospital supporters from throughout the San Gabriel Valley.

same name. Jilin Orchestra transformed this world class painting into another artistic form, music that captured vividly the daily life of the people and prosperity they enjoyed a thousand years ago. It was a perfect demonstration of the charm of Chinese classical music and traditional Chinese painting, a perfect
fusion of Chinese and western art forms. On September 9 Los Angeles Times, "Across the Pacific - 2014 China Jilin Culture Week" activities reached another climax. The Chinese classical folk poetry and music appreciation held at Pasadena's Pacific Asia Museum which dedicated a wonderful performance.

Oscar Wilde, Thoreau and Alcott attend Pasadena Central Library Façade Restoration Project Gala Sunday By Terry Miller
Playwright and poet Oscar Wilde, superbly portrayed by Jesse Martin, wandered the library’s depth and breadth Sunday while reciting from one of his book of poems. -Photo by Terry Miller
Roaming the hallowed hallways of the historic Pasadena Central Library Sunday, one was whisked back in time when life was perhaps a little simpler and when reading a book didn’t require a Kindle or smart phone. Oscar Wilde, superbly portrayed by Jesse Martin, wandered the library’s depth and breadth Sunday while reading from one of his books…After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, Wilde became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is, perhaps, best remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays, and the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death. In the latter half of the 20th century he became a gay icon. Of Wilde’s many memorable quotes, the following two stood out for this special occasion on Sunday, “If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”

arched windows, stonework and exterior wall of the south façade are in critical need of restoration, repair and painting due to decades of sun exposure and general weathering. Funds raised from this event Sunday will restore the façade to its former glory thanks to the generosity of many in Pasadena The fundraising gala highlighted the year-long celebration of 130 Years of Reading in Pasadena. The two hosts for their sponsorship of this event, The Friends of the Pasadena Public Library and the Pasadena Public Library Foundation, true friends and supporters of the library. The Friends of the Pasadena Public Library, founded in 1975, funds the library’s programs, special services and cultural events. Pasadena Public Library Foundation, now an endowment fund of the Pasadena Community Foundation, was established 31 years ago to refurbish and maintain the beautiful and historic Central Library building.

And: “The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.” Pasadena’s Central Library’s magnificent south façade is impressive but needs restoration, hence the reason these literary giants (which also included Louisa May Alcott and Henry David Thoreau) attended the soiree to raise funds to restore the eyecatching “face” of the building that overlooks Walnut Street and the historic civic center. Ninety years ago, ten architectural firms competed for the privilege of designing it; the commission was awarded to the firm of Myron Hunt and H.C. Chambers. Construction began in 1925, the date inscribed over the front entrance. Dedicated two years later, the library now ranks on the National Register of Historic Places. The last restoration took place between 1984 and 1990, funded in large measure by the Pasadena Public Library Foundation. Now the magnificent

dining & entertainment MOVIE REVIEW
56TH ANNUAL ST. ANTHONY Greek Orthodox Church Presents
We’ve seen a version of 'The Drop', but it’s worth watching By Michael James Gonzalez
The list is long and distinguished of classic New York crime dramas. So long in fact that enough films have been made since the 1970s—from Mean Streets to American Gangster—to make this category its own genre, containing all of the familiar narrative ingredients we’ve come to love in such films: cool, street-hardened wise guys, the seedy bar or restaurant which doubles as the meeting house, secret rendezvous by the docks, the world-weary detective, the lead gangster’s damsel in distress, the gritty underside of working class neighborhoods just trying to make an extra buck and who look after themselves, and of course the brutal depictions of murder and mayhem. Belgian director Michael R. Roskam’s latest contribution to the genre is not any kind of reinvention, but it succeeds on its own merits and definitely honors the tradition rather than detract from it. The Drop, which stars Tom Hardy and, sadly, James Gandolfini in his final film performance, is set in present-day Brooklyn and follows lonesome bartender Bob Saginowski (Hardy)
who works at his overbearing cousin Marv’s (Gandolfini) bar, which is actually owned by ruthless Chechen gangsters who make frequent “drops” of money for safekeeping. Early on, Bob finds himself at the end of his employers’ spear, as it were, and becomes embroiled in a police investigation after a robbery gone awry. Walking home one night, Bob finds a Pit Bull puppy which by happenstance connects him with Nadia, a pretty waitress played by Noomi Rapace, and by consequence, to Eric, Nadia’s psychopathic ex-boyfriend who claims to be the dog’s rightful owner, played with chilling intensity by Matthias Schoenaerts. The plot moves at a slow burn as past events reveal themselves and we discover how all the characters are intertwined, but there’s never a dull minute as the impending doom that pervades the narrative no doubt occurs at its predictable but satisfying climax. What is interesting and even frustrating at times is Hardy’s characterization of Bob, which seems to have been inspired by a mix of late period Mike Tyson and the character of Lenny from
John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. He’s a gentle giant who, much like his newly found furry friend, is misunderstood but for opposite reasons. Whereas Pit Bulls are thought to be naturally violent and aggressive but are actually quite gentle, Bob isn’t exactly a pushover. The film heavily focuses on plot, giving us only peripheral glimpses into the story behind its main characters, and sometimes certain coincidences that connect the characters and events feel a bit contrived. What is also left to be desired is the great music infused in similar films that has also come to be a defining ingredient of the genre. However, the strong performances and authentic look and feel of the film make it quite entertaining and worth spending the 103 minutes. It’s clear that Roskam studied previous luminaries of the genre—no doubt the master himself, Martin Scorsese among them—in preparation, which gave me the sense that perhaps The Drop is a warm up for something more ambitious in the future. Either way, I look forward to Roskam’s future endeavors.
Sidney D. Gamble Lecture Series presents Pioneers of Modernism: Arts and Crafts in Australia Author/professor Harriet Edquist discusses how the Australian Arts and Crafts movement set the stage for Modernism in Australia on September 30, 2014. The popular Sidney D. Gamble Lecture Series, now in its 16th year, offers thought-provoking lectures and introduces the public to prominent experts, author and historians who have special insight into, not just the
Arts and Crafts Movement, but the nature of bringing architecture and art into daily living. Kicking off the 2014-2015 lecture series is a discussion on the Arts and Crafts Movement in Australia by Harriet Edquist, a professor of Architectural History and Director of the Design Archives at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University. Dr. Edquist will explore how the
architectural style was influenced by similar movements around the world, especially noting the resonance between the California bungalow and Australia’s version of that classical style.

dining & entertainment Los Angeles Master Chorale launches 51st season Sunday, October 19, 2014 at Walt Disney Concert Hall
The Los Angeles Master Chorale (LAMC), led by Artistic Director Grant Gershon, launches the 2014|15 season, its 51st, with a spectacular multi-faceted cinematic and aural event featuring the Walt Disney Concert Hall premiere of Richard Einhorn’s “brilliantly effective” (Washington Post) 1994 work Voices of Light/ The Passion of Joan of Arc, inspired by and performed live to the 1928 silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc. Einhorn’s evocative piece, written for orchestra, chorus and soloists, provides a haunting backdrop to the rarely seen restored version of Carl Dreyer’s cinematic masterpiece, considered by many critics to be among the top films ever made. Thought to have been lost in a warehouse fire, a single print of the film was discovered in a janitor’s closet of a Norwegian mental institution in 1981, which “was digitally restored to pristine condition with 20,320 individual changes” (Bright Lights Film Journal). “Richard Einhorn’s score to The Passion of Joan of Arc creates a unique and powerful concert experience,” says Gershon. “It seems particularly fitting to present this intense and influential film in the movie capital of the world.” The film, based on the actual 15th century transcripts of St. Joan’s trial for heresy, portrays her trial

and execution. Dressed as a boy, she led French troops in a defeat against British occupiers during the Hundred Years’ War, but was later captured and tried by French clergy loyal to the British and condemned to death by burning at the stake for her belief that she was spurred to action by religious visions. Of actress Renee Maria Falconetti’s role as Joan of Arc, renowned film critic Pauline Kael declared, “It may be the finest performance ever recorded on film.” Previously performed to sold-out audiences at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Kennedy Center and Wolf Trap, among other venues, Einhorn’s music “beautifully accompanies the film” (Time) providing
“an overwhelming experience” (Chicago Tribune) that is “timeless in its appeal” (Grand Rapids Press) and “cannot soon be forgotten” (Washington Post). The concert is sponsored in part by The Lloyd E. Rigler-Lawrence E. Deutsch Foundation. Tickets range from $29 - $129. Group rates are available. For tickets and information, please call (213) 972-7282, or visit www.lamc.org.

laine K. Sanchez is an author, speaker and co-founder of CaregiverHelp.com. She has been described as part Erma Bombeck and part Garrison Keillor, but don’t let the entertainment value of her presentation fool you. Her three-step process of developing an “Attitude of Creative Indifference” toward the emotional stress of caregiving has helped thousands of family and professional caregivers learn: • In order to care for another person, we must make self-care a priority. • Even in the very worst end-of-life situations, there is still an opportunity for mental and spiritual growth. • As long as we have the ability to think and to reason, we have the power to choose our attitude toward any person, situation or event. Elaine’s real-life caregiving stories bring hope, humor and heart to caregiver anger, guilt, depression and grief. You will learn that you are not alone, that having negative feelings doesn’t make you a bad person, and that it is possible to survive the emotional stress of caring for those who can no longer care for themselves.

Op-Ed: An investment in the health and economy of the San Gabriel Valley By Dr. Adana Moses and Dr. Christopher Vargas As a small business owners and chiropractors, we see the proposed new San Gabriel Mountains National Monument as an opportunity to invest in the health and economy of the San Gabriel Valley. A healthy neuromusculoskeletal system is only one contributor to our overall well-being. We encourage our patients to also eat healthy food and get moving -- walking, biking, running or hiking. Exercise not only helps to reduce pain and improve joint function but can help control weight and address inflammation. Moreover, exercise has been proven to help reduce stress and promote better sleep and relaxation – both of which are key to achieving optimal health. But there are too many communities here in the San Gabriel Valley with too few parks, walking trails and playgrounds. We may recommend exercise to a patient, but if there isn’t a park near her home where she can play with her children or run with
her dog, we’ve learned she likely won’t follow that recommendation. Fortunately, the public lands in our backyard – the San Gabriel Mountains -could soon see some needed enhancements to make them more visitor- and exercisefriendly. For too long, hikers have encountered trash along popular trails. Graffiti scars canyon walls. Restrooms are closed. Riverways are crowded. Rangers are few and far between. The U.S. Forest Service held a town hall meeting in Baldwin Park recently to gather feedback about potential new visitor services in the San Gabriel Mountains, which would come with a presidential designation of the public lands as a National Monument. Media reports indicate that the meeting was packed; we can see why. We live in the shadow of these beautiful mountains but tend to only noticed them when ablaze. Neglect has led to poor conditions for visitors, and likely, poor conditions
for wildlife and our water supplies, too. Of course 600 residents would show up to learn about the Forest Service’s potential plans to fix up our forest! We support a monument designation. Our patients would benefit from this opportunity for nearby outdoor recreation. But we also see it as a smart move for our local economy. Instead of littering the mountainside with fancy housing developments and shopping malls, we can protect the open space that raises property values and entices entrepreneurs like us to raise our families and grow our businesses in the San Gabriel Valley and enjoy these mountain views. We encourage President Obama to designate the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Dr. Adana Moses and Dr. Christopher Vargas are co-owners of Innate Family Chiropractic in Pasadena, which has been named "Best of Pasadena 2013" by Pasadena Weekly readers.
Your property tax bill may be going up more than the normal 2 percent Property values are increasing in California. The good news is Proposition 13 limits the annual increase in the property’s taxable value for inflation to 2 percent. This value is known as the “factored Proposition 13 value.” When housing prices decline, Proposition 8 allows a temporary reduction of the property’s taxable value to reflect the current market value. Because a Proposition 8 reduction is only temporary, it requires the taxable value to be reviewed annually and increased, or decreased, to reflect that year’s current market value (as of January 1 each year). Thus, when the housing market crashed, Proposition 8 enabled some homeowners to receive significant temporary assessment reductions resulting in lower tax bills. As housing prices increase, however, a home’s taxable value that had been lowered by the assessor under Proposition 8 may increase more than 2 percent if its market value increased more than 2 percent. The increased value, however, may not ex-
ceed the factored Proposition 13 value. The increased value will result in a corresponding property tax increase, which cannot exceed the factored Proposition 13 value. For example, a taxpayer purchased a home in 2006 for $500,000. In 2013, the factored Proposition 13 value would be about $544,000 ($500,000 increased by an inflation factor that cannot exceed 2 percent each year). If the market value of that property was $450,000, the assessor would temporarily enroll the lower value for property tax purposes pursuant to Proposition 8. In 2014, if the market value of the property recovers to $540,000, the market value will be enrolled because it was lower than the factored Proposition 13 value. While the 2014 taxable value exceeds the previous year’s taxable value by more than two percent, it reflects the current market value and does not exceed the Proposition 13 limits. In following years, the market value of the property will again be determined and compared to the factored
Proposition 13 value and the lower value will be enrolled. What does this mean? Some California homeowners may receive a much larger property tax bill than they anticipated this year. Homeowners who saw lower tax bills during the recent decline in housing values may receive higher property tax bills as property values recover. To appeal an assessment, one must file an Application for Changed Assessment with the clerk of the board of supervisors or clerk of the assessment appeal board in which the property is located. That form may be found on the clerk of the appeal board’s orassessor’s website. The deadline to file an appeal varies by county, and ends either September 15 or November 30 (for 2014 the deadline is December 1 because November 30 falls on a Sunday). Appeal filing deadlines may be accessed at: www.boe.ca.gov/proptaxes/ pdf/filingperiods.pdf. Appeal board clerks’ and assessors’ at www.boe.ca.gov/proptaxes/proptax.htm.

Connecting with the nature in our backyard By Bryan Slade
I grew up in the shadow of the San Gabriel Mountains. Monrovia Canyon Park piqued my interest in nature; the San Gabriel Mountains instilled my passion for the Great Outdoors. Today, my aspiration is to protect our local parks and national public lands, and I invite everyone to join me. I was in elementary school when I first visited Monrovia Canyon Park in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. If you haven’t yet visited, you should! This city-managed park is a real gem, offering visitors 80 acres of open space to explore, including hiking trails, picnic areas and an easy walk to a beautiful perennial waterfall. The park is a poignant introduction to the beauty of nature outside oururban neighborhoods. As I grew up and became more adventurous I realized the “hills” behind my house – the San Gabriel Mountains – offered even greater outdoor experiences: gorgeous hikes, bigger wa-
terfalls, rivers, and wildlife. I learned that these national forestlands also provide clean drinking water for Monrovia and other towns in the San Gabriel Valley, as well as that rare commodity in the L.A. basin: clean air. After graduation I joined the California Conservation Corps (CCC). Here we worked to protect natural resources in the San Gabriel Mountains and all over Southern California’s parks and forestlands by planting trees, removing invasive weeds and conducting other “beautification” activities. A CCC trip to the San Jacinto State Park is especially memorable. The young people on the trip were all from urban communities in the Los Angeles area, and for most it was an entirely new environment. “Who planted all these trees?” someone asked, gazing upward at the rich conifer forest. Hearing questions like that lead me full circle. I eventually gained employment with Monrovia Canyon Park
as a Park Ranger; leading hikes and public education activities, as I was providing young people with their own eye-opening experiences in nature. Here, students learned about life cycles and enjoyed breathtaking encounters with Black Bears. Connecting youth and families to our Great Outdoors causes experiences that can never be forgotten and are often inspiring. As a mentor of mine often says, “nature is transformative”. I have recently begun a new job with Amigos de Los Rios, an organization dedicated to educating and connecting local residents with the Emerald Necklace -sustainable open spaces along urban river corridors that connect the mountains to the sea. I’ll be hosting weekend volunteer tree-plantings and weed-clearings to beautify neighborhood parks, protect the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo rivers, and provide open space for families to enjoy. The San Gabriel Mountains are so important to our
lives as Southern California’s residents. They complete the Emerald Necklace of green space that encircles the San Gabriel Valley. They offer access to healthy recreation and outdoor learning opportunities. They provide us with the opportunity to reconnect with our families and friends. We can see where our drinking water comes from – and be mindful about protecting it. The San Gabriel Mountains are monumental to me and I am certain that anyone who has absorbed their beauty shares my sentiment. Designation of the national public lands of the San Gabriel Mountains as a National Monument will bring new access and new resources to enable young people and families to connect with the nature in our backyard, and each other. Not every tree needs to be planted by hand; nature is native. Please join me in helping to protect it. Bryan Slade is an outreach coordinator with local nonprofit, Amigos de Los Rios. He was born and raised in Monrovia.

Jewish National Fund in overdrive to develop Israel’s north and south New push to grow regional populations & tourism in Western Galilee & Negev Speaking at Jewish National Fund’s (JNF) National Conference 2014 Monday in Los Angeles, JNF President Jeffrey E. Levine announced exciting new campaigns to attract young people to Israel’s northern and southern areas. With 80% of Israel’s land area located outside the center of the country and young people typically inclined to live in the cities of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, they often find it difficult to manage expenses due to the high cost of living and intense com-
petition for employment. In the $1 Billion Dollar Roadmap for the Next Decade that JNF introduced last year, a strategic plan was put into action to develop the country’s northern and southern regions that remain largely uninhabited. The plan calls for bringing 500,000 people to the south and 300,000 to the Galilee in the Blueprint Negev and Go North campaigns, respectively. Speaking at the Beverly Hilton before 900 conference participants from across the United
States, Levine remarked, “Housing remains one of the biggest issues Israel faces and together with Keren Kayemeth Leisrael (KKL) I am announcing the expansion of our $25 million housing fund initiative, the most revolutionary in the history of Israel. We will provide thousands of people with the opportunity to build their own homes in the Negev and Galilee.” Levine added, “I’m announcing today that we are raising $10 million to enhance the Beit She’an and the Valley of the Springs region in the
north to bring new populations there and to allow young people to stay. We’re also building a $5 million Young Leadership Center in Beit She’an that will help spark entrepreneurial, social, cultural and artistic creativity for those people already there and serve to attract others to come.” Levine described how the new center (located in a former technology school and situated on 100 acres) will feature innovative programming and classes, classrooms, technology labs, community
rooms, a movie house, performing arts events, picnic areas and coffee rooms, all meant to serve the needs of 25-40-year olds and incentivize them to stay in the area. He also announced JNF’s commitment to promoting travel to the Western Galilee to enhance the region’s tourism industry and provide new jobs and economic development where 650,000 people currently reside there. Levine stated that the time is right to develop the travel industry, which will in turn produce added employment as people come to the area for lengthier vacations and itineraries that include the region’s wineries, artisanal cheese factories and organic farmers, historical sites, boutique artists, expert travel guides, and farm-totable restaurants. JNF will also build the new $3 million JNF Western Galilee Visitor Center in Akko. The new tourism center will help to further increase annual travel to the area and from the 2.5 million who currently venture through Akko, a historic site along the Mediterranean that features ancient Roman, medieval Templar, and Ottoman fortresses and ruins. Additionally, Levine discussed the importance of an international abroad experience for college applicants and the objective of growing enrollment at Alexander Muss
Pasadena Sierra Madre Monrovia
High School in Israel (a JNF partner) from 1,500 to 5,000 students over the next five years. Over the course of the four-day conference, JNF’s success in Wadi Attir, a model sustainable desert community, was highlighted, as well as the partnerships that JNF has in Israel that have helped 10,000 Bedouins with new social and economic development in Rahat and Segev Shalom, and the increase in economic development opportunities in the towns of Mitzpe Ramon, Ofakim, Dimona, Arad and Sderot. Also announced was the plan to build the largest dormitory for students in the Negev at Sapir College in Sderot to draw hundreds of young people to the southern area. It is anticipated that the effect of the college’s growth will have a positive impact on local economic development. Additionally, two new major central parks in Sderot will be built to serve the community there. National Conference 2014 commenced on September 12 and closes Monday following the keynote address by Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman to 1,300 participants and members of the greater Los Angeles community. The Beverly Hilton is located at 9876 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

Controller Chiang looking for probate referees
State Controller John Chiang announced Tuesday that his office will be conducting qualifying examinations for Probate Referee appointments in Northern and Southern California on October 18, 2014. The probate referee is a state-appointed official whose job is to appraise most assets in a probate estate. The probate referee appraises all property and assets except cash. There is a minimum of one probate referee in each county, while larger counties have more than one. "I want to make this public service opportunity available to as many financial professionals as possible. We are looking for candidates with diverse backgrounds who want to help their communities by providing this important service," said Chiang. "Please encourage your friends and colleagues who are interested in becoming a Probate Referee to apply and take the exam." Probate Referees have been proudly assisting the courts, attorneys and the public for more than 68 years. A Probate Referee is appointed to a panel in the county of his or her residence by the State Controller for a term of four years. Applicants must possess threshold academic and/ or relevant professional experience in order to take the ex-
amination and be considered for appointment.

Repeal the renewable fuel mandate If you've filled your tank in the past few weeks, you've probably noticed the recent spike in gas prices. The national average price of regular unleaded is getting closer and closer to $4.00 a gallon. One part of the price increase may surprise you. And that portion could add up to 50 cents per gallon to what you pay at the pump during the summer's peak driving months. Higher gas prices are just one of the many unintended consequences of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which demands biofuels to be blended into the gasoline you buy. This illconceived policy is hurting American motorists, consumers, and farmers -- all to solve a problem that no longer exists with a solution consumers do not want. It's time for lawmakers to scale back the RFS before it does any more damage to your car and our economy. Enacted in 2005, and expanded in 2007, the RFS was created on the assumption that increasing ethanol production at home would make the United States more energy secure. Frantic policymakers looked for an easy way out, and sought to create a market for renewables by establishing mandatory targets for the blending and sale of biofuels. Under Congress's theory, renewables would become cheaper and more abundant -- eventually displacing costly fossil fuels. The energy crisis would be averted. But all of these government predictions have proven off -- way off. Thanks to the fracking revolution, domestic energy production has surged even as new fuel-efficient technologies have caused gasoline consumption to decline. Meanwhile, next-generation bio-
By Michael James Barton fuels haven't lived up to the promises their lobbyists have been claiming. Yet the RFS keeps ratcheting up the amount of biofuels -- mostly ethanol -- to be added to the gasoline supply. Last year, the government allowed a partial waiver, conceding the practical limits on ethanol blending. Lower demand for gas, relative to the amount of ethanol that's mandated, has already pushed energy producers up against the "blend wall" of 10 percent ethanol. Despite the scientific evidence, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved fuels with a 15 percent ethanol (E15) blend for use in newer vehicles. But auto manufactures warn that higher levels of ethanol -- which is basically a solvent -- could damage car engines, corroding metal parts (including carburetors) and degrading internal plastic and rubber components. The EPA's assurances that this is safe ring hollow since you will be the one paying for these major E15 auto repairs out of your own pocket. Ethanol is not only hard on engines -- it's also less efficient than regular gas. Ethanol contains 33 percent less energy than gasoline, which means vehicles will cover fewer miles per gallon, and consumers will need to fill up more often. The process of producing ethanol threatens water resources, and even emits greenhouse gas emissions at a higher rate than fossil fuels. All of this means we use more energy to produce a gallon of ethanol than we get from it -- a net loss for energy efficiency and the environment. But the worst impact of RFS for the consumer is being felt at the grocery store.
Since most of the ethanol used for fuel in the United States comes from corn, the mandate depletes the supply of feed for livestock, making it more expensive for farmers to raise cows, chickens, and pigs. Consumers end up bearing the brunt of prices made artificially high by the mandate. Grocery prices are increasing and packages are getting smaller. Under the RFS, the average grocery bill for families has grown by $2,000 annually. Lowerincome families, who spend a greater percentage of their paycheck on groceries, have been hit especially hard -- so much so that poverty advocates are now demanding that U.S. corn feed mouths rather than fuel tanks. AcToyota cording to Oxfam America, the grain required to fill 1/2 anpg V 031314 SUV's gas tank with biofuels 4C JG is enough to feed one person for a year. By dictating unrealistic levels of ethanol in our fuel supplies, the RFS will ultimately force refiners to raise the price of gasoline to pay fines to the EPA, unnecessarily spiking the cost of already expensive gas without any offsetting advantage. We have tried RFS, and it has failed miserably to meet its goals while creating a host of costly new problems. At a minimum, the EPA should prevent further harm to Americans and scale back the mandate for this year. But if we are to undo the economic damage already caused by the RFS, what we really need is Congress to repeal this mandate. Michael James Barton is the Director for Energy at ARTIS Research, and speaks around the country on energy and energy security matters. He previously served as the deputy director of Middle East policy at the Pentagon.

31 Arcadia High students named national Merit Scholarship semifinalists

An impressive 31 students from Arcadia High School have been named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists. This prestigious recognition represents less than one percent of high school seniors in the United States. “I am amazed at how many of our students continue to reach this extraordinary level of academic success,” said David Vannasdall, Superintendent of Arcadia Unified School District. “I am extremely proud of these students, and am thrilled they are receiving this much deserved
recognition.” Approximately 1.4 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools entered the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as an initial screening of applicants. Of the 16,000 semifinalists named, about 15,000 are expected to advance to the finalist level. Last year all 22 Arcadia High School semifinalists were named finalists. To become a finalist, the semifinalists and their high schools must submit
a detailed scholarship application, in which they provide information about the semifinalist’s academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, honors and awards received, and satisfy other academic criteria. More than half of the finalists will be awarded a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar distinction. In February the finalists will be notified, and scholarships will be awarded starting in March and concluding in July.
Pasadena Unified’s Marshall Fundamental School ranked as the eighth best high school in Los Angeles County Marshall Fundamental School in the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) has been recognized as the eighth best high school among both public and private high schools in Los Angeles County, according to rankings published by Los Angeles Magazine in their September issue. PUSD’s Blair High School also made the list due to their status as an International Baccalaureate (IB) school, coming in at 67 of the 250+ LA County public and private schools considered for the rankings. Marshall was also the third highest ranked public school in the county and the top rated public high school in the San Gabriel Valley. “Marshall maintains a commitment to high standards and equity,” said Marshall Fundamental Principal Dr. Mark Anderson. “The collaborative effort between
students, parents, teachers, counselors, and staff has led to our success. Each member of the Marshall family believes in the school, works hard to educate students and feel it is the greatest place in the world to be.” Los Angeles Magazine used the Challenge Index, which was developed by Washington Post education columnist Jay Mathews, to formulate their rankings. The Challenge Index took the total number of Advanced Placement (AP) and IB exams taken by students in 2013 and divided that number by the number of graduating seniors that year. Mathews points out in the magazine that the Challenge Index “recognizes schools that try hardest to improve the critical thinking and writing skills needed to thrive in tough college courses and the job market.”
Citing the almost sevenfold increase of students taking Advanced Placement (AP) tests from 1998 to today and the teaching of the critical thinking skills in sixth grade that are needed to be successful on AP tests and ultimately in college, Los Angeles Magazine notes that Marshall has performed just as well as affluent private schools even though 70 percent of students are low-income. At Marshall, “students aren’t chosen on the basis of STAR, PSAT or any other test scores but on their willingness to work hard,” wrote Mathews about Marshall Fundamental. Pasadena, Altadena and Sierra Madre families can choose to attend Marshall or Blair as part of the district’s open enrollment process. General open enrollment for the 2015-2016 school year will take place in January 2015.

Citrus College Foundation honors scholarship recipients
An impressive gathering of Citrus College students were recently honored at the Citrus College Foundation’s fifth annual Scholarship Reception. In observance of the college’s Centennial, the Foundation and the college community celebrated “A Century of Scholarship,” awarding 61 scholarships to nearly 200 recipients. These students are currently focusing on college completion and aspiring to enter fields that include science, technology, education, architecture, and business. The honorees’ scholarships were made possible by the generosity of the donors who contribute to Citrus College Foundation scholarships and the dedicated efforts of the Associated Students of Citrus College, the Foundation, and the Financial Aid Department. Nine new scholarships were added this year, many of them established by Citrus College faculty and staff in honor of their family members and colleagues. The scholarships were awarded to students at various stages of their college journey: new transfers to four-year colleges and universities; students continuing their education at Citrus College; and recent high school graduates beginning their higher education journey. “Citrus College, from its beginning, has championed and rewarded academic achievement,” noted Superintendent/President Geraldine M. Perri, Ph.D. “The students who received scholarships personify the college’s commitment to
completion and excellence, and they deserve our heartfelt kudos.” Joshua Galvan received one of the 14 scholarships awarded to students who are transferring to four-year institutions. Galvan received a Raul and Wanda Fernandes Memorial Scholarship for transferring students who plan to major in architecture. As one of the reception’s student speakers, Galvan recalled his challenges as an 18 year-old, out-of-state student who entered Citrus College “looking to begin the rest of my life.” A search through the class schedule led Galvan to a program of study—architecture—that set him on a pathway of academic success. He graduated from Citrus College with honors in June 2014, and will enter Cal Poly Pomona this fall as an architecture major. “Fortunately, I committed to a great program with great professors and supporters,” Galvan recalled. “I am grateful to Citrus College for giving me the knowledge and opportunity to succeed, not only now, but also in the future.” The majority of the scholarship recipients were Citrus College students who are continuing their education at the college. They received financial awards based on criteria such as academic performance, student leadership, and chosen programs of study. One such continuing student was Amanda Jones, who also spoke at the reception. Jones received the Writing Skills Scholarship, awarded by the Language
Arts Division. Jones attended Citrus College in 1999 and then put her education on hold to work for several years. After a series of personal challenges, she has returned to Citrus College as a full-time student and is now studying to become a teacher and a food writer. “I believe everyone can overcome his or her obstacles by concentrating on what makes them happy. All it takes to succeed is perseverance, sacrifice, commitment, and focus,” she said. As an incentive to local high school students, the Citrus College Foundation also awards the Bright Futures Scholarships. This year, 26 students who graduated from Citrus Community College District high schools received scholarships and are now Citrus College freshmen. “I was very pleased to see the students receive scholarships that will enable them to reach their educational goals,” said Dr. Patricia A. Rasmussen, president of the Citrus Community College District Board of Trustees and a scholarship donor. “I am proud that Citrus College students, faculty, staff, Foundation members, and donors have demonstrated their commitment to supporting our students at each level of their matriculation: beginning, continuing and transferring.” For information regarding donating to the Citrus College Foundation, please contact the Foundation Office at 626-914-8825,foundation@citruscollege.edu, or www.citruscollege.edu/ foundation.

The event exceeded our expectations,” said Stacia Ibrahim, Event Co-Chairperson. Laurie Yamashiro, also Event Co-Chairperson, added, “The parental involvement was fantastic.

PCC again tops list of top associate degree producers in the nation For the second consecutive year, Pasadena City College has been named the top producer in the nation of associate degrees in multi/interdisciplinary studies, according to data recently released by Community College Week. PCC headed a list of 50 community colleges across the country in the periodical’s report released last month. “We are very proud to be the top producer because it represents the fact that we are working hard to help our students complete their goals,” said Dr. Cynthia Olivo, associate vice president of Student Affairs at PCC. “I was especially pleased because Community College Week compiles data from all the community colleges in the country. It speaks volumes of the work we do for our students.” According to preliminary data for the 2012-2013 academic year, PCC awarded 1,382 associate degrees in multi/interdisciplinary studies. That number was more than 500 degrees produced to its closest competitor, Moraine

Valley Community College in Illinois. Dr. Walter G. Bumphus, president and CEO of the American Association of Community Colleges, congratulated PCC for its recent accolade. “You and your team should be extremely proud of the student success work you’ve been doing,” Bumphus penned in a letter sent to the college administration last month. “Based upon your ranking in the report, this work is obviously paying dividends to the community, the economy, and to your region.” This is not the first time PCC has received top hon-
ors. For the 2011-2012 academic year, the college was listed number one in awarding associate degrees in multi/ interdisciplinary studies. Published bi-weekly, Community College Week readers include college presidents, chief academic officers, faculty, student-service professionals, librarians and other educators.

Lancers fall to the Cardinals 38-11
Wildcats take a huge bite out of Apaches By SHEL SEGAL
-Photo by John Blackstock
This past Friday night the La Salle Lancers faced off against the Bishop Diego Cardinals on La Salle's home turf in Pasadena. Unfortunately, home-field advantage was the only upside the Lancers would enjoy. The Lancers did show life heading into the half by executing a fake punt, which led to a Lancer touchdown
and successful two point conversion, followed by an interception ending in a field goal. The Lancers headed to the locker room with momentum in their favor, only trailing the Cardinals 11-17. That Lancer momentum was short lived as the Cardinals received and returned the 2nd half kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, lengthen-
ing the Lancer's deficit 11-24. After two more Bishop Diego touchdowns, the Lancers fell to the Cardinals 38-11. The Lancers will face Maranatha this Friday at Maranatha High school. The Minutemen are 3-0 this year hoping to continue their 2-0 home-stand, while the Lancers plan to bring them their first home loss of the season.

Quarterback Asaph Zamora completed nine of 14 passes – including five for touchdowns – while throwing for 205 yards as the Monrovia High football team beat visiting Arcadia High, 47-14, on Friday night in a nonleague game. Zamora hit receivers Kahlil Bradley, Seth Raines, Jordan Nathan, Octavius Spencer and Aubrey Mosely for touchdown passes of 17, 42, 39, 23 and 25 yards. He said after the game, however, he didn’t deserve the credit for the win. “We had good protection this week,” Zamora said. “The line held their own and I was able to get good passes off.” Monrovia coach Chris Stevens had words of praise for his young quarterback. “It was phenomenal,” Stevens said of Zamora’s performance. “He’s a phenomenal young man. He’s great in the pocket, makes things happen. The rest of things he gives them the ball and they do the rest.” Stevens added while Zamora played very well, it was the team’s rushing attack that made it happen. “We focused all week on our running game,” he said. “It hasn’t been very efficient the last two weeks. So, we put a little more emphasis on that. We still have a lot of work to do there. But we knew at any point we could get vertical.” And with Rio Hondo League playing starting in just a few weeks, Stevens said his team is gearing up, but not too soon. “We’re excited,” he said. “We still have some things to take care of, games

against St. Francis and Los Altos. They’re very formidable opponents. So, we’re going to focus on St. Francis and take care of league later.” Arcadia coach Andrew Policky said his team will have to look at the tape to see where it went wrong. “We made too many mistakes and didn’t play very well,” he said. “Across
the board it’s got to be better than it was tonight.” Monrovia travels to La Canada next Friday night to play St. Francis High, while Arcadia takes on Azusa High at Citrus College. (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com and followed via Twitter @segallanded).
PUSD athletes to receive free head and heart MRI scan Every high school student athlete in the Pasadena Unified School District will be eligible to receive a free head and heart MRI scan as the district has recently partnered with the Huntington Medical Research Institutes to conduct a cutting-edge research program focused on diagnosis and prevention of sudden cardiac death and traumatic brain injury in student athletes, officials announced.
By SHEL SEGAL This program is motivated by increased public recognition of traumatic brain injuries by the National Football League and others and the deaths of students across the country due to sudden cardiac death and the study is a first for Pasadena high school athletes. “I am extremely excited to partner with the Huntington Research Institute to provide this service to PUSD students and I believe
this program is beneficial for our athletes,” said PUSD Interim Superintendent Brian McDonald. “As someone who witnessed the sudden heart related death of a childhood friend immediately after a soccer game, I understand the importance of preventative care to protect our student athletes. We are grateful to the HMRI for their willingness to include us in Please see page 28

Injured cub overcomes, joins the leprechaun legion and remains a champion

After excelling academically and being accepted at Notre Dame, Natalie Johnson, who graduated from Mayfield Senior School in 2014, had two jobs during her senior year of high school: 1) Play volleyball 2) Don't get hurt After committing to play volleyball at the University of Notre Dame at the end of her junior year, there wasn't much else Natalie needed to worry about. She had the grades, she had the skill and she had the vision of a winner. Her last year of high school was exhilarating, with Mayfield Cubs Volleyball making it to the CIF-SS Division 2A Championship match.
Natalie was eager to jump back on the court for her final club volleyball season. Her Club team, San Gabriel Elite 18 Roshambo, earned the bronze medal at Junior Nationals in the year prior, and they were all hungry to compete with the top teams in the nation once again. However, three practices into this season, a blow to Natalie’s knee abruptly changed the course of her year. She could barely comprehend what the doctor told her when he said her ACL and meniscus were torn. An injury of that caliber meant that Natalie would need surgery and 6 or more months of rehab before she could even
consider going back out on the court. With Notre Dame just around the corner, Natalie had to quit her only two jobs, because: 1) She could not play volleyball 2) She was most definitely hurt. In Natalie’s own words, “But so what? I knew I could not let the injury define me. Encouragement surrounded me from all angles. My high school coach at Mayfield Senior, Jon Basilio, told me that I would surmount the obstacle and come back a better athlete because of it.” Mayfield’s Athletic Director, Lynda Gilbert, and Lydia Arguelles, Assistant Director of Athletics,

with Pasadena’s cultural activities and allow the athletes to practice and rest at City facilities ahead of the July 25, 2015 Opening Ceremony. An estimated 500,000 spectators are expected to cheer on the 7,000 athletes representing 177 countries during the World Games in Los Angeles, July 25 through Aug. 2, 2015. The event features 25 Olympic-style sports in venues throughout
the Los Angeles region. For more information on the 2015 Special Olympics World Games, including volunteer and sponsorship opportunities, visit www.LA2015.org. • Patrick McClenahan, President and CEO, Special Olympics World Games LA2015 • Dustin Plunkett, Global Messenger, Special Olympics World Games LA2015

knew that Natalie would rise above the challenge and beat the odds. “I never had any doubt she’d come through this a like a champion,” said Lynda Gilbert, “That’s just who she is.” Natalie’s family at home and at Mayfield literally carried her on their shoulders through out the whole process. “My parents, entire club volleyball team and coaches fought with me all the way through, and my friends jumped in to lend a helping hand,” said Natalie. Natalie had surgery on January 9 and one week later was back in school to take her first semester final exams with a swollen leg, a hefty knee brace, and crutches, but those hindrances never slowed her down. From January to June, on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays Natalie went to physical therapy from 3-5 in the afternoon and volleyball practice from 7-10 at night. Although she could not compete with her team, she wanted to be a part of their season as much as she could. So practices became her time to absorb the game from a different perspective. As she
watched the sport from the sidelines her ability to anticipate and react with out actually being on the court actually improved. With the wisdom of a scholar and the strength of an athlete, Natalie said, “I have always had the mentality that hard work and dedication truly do pay off, and I strive to apply this to both academics and athletics in my life. This mentality is what I wholeheartedly believe got me through the entire process. Hard work changed from something I forced myself to do, to something I truly wanted to do each day. After being restricted for so long, every small step forward along the excruciating journey was a big gift. I eagerly awaited physical therapy because it meant I was getting closer to doing what I loved: Playing volleyball.“ Eventually, she went from two crutches, to one crutch, to walking, to jogging, to finally jumping in less than three months. Five months out of surgery Natalie started practicing with her Club team again, something she did not
imagine would even be possible. At the end of June she stepped back on the court for the first time in a real match and competed with her team one final time at Junior Nationals. Exactly six months after the surgery Natalie was on a plane, on her way to Notre Dame for Volleyball Camp, and seven months after surgery, she’s practicing as an official Notre Dame athlete. From this experience, Natalie says, “I have not looked back once since the injury and my plan is to keep marching forward no matter what. I’m not done fighting yet, but I know with out a doubt that I will be stronger and more determined than ever. Notre Dame's motto: "Play Like A Champion Today" combined with Mayfield Senior's motto: 'Actions Not Words' will truly define my upcoming years, and I cannot wait to see what the future brings me.” Natalie Johnson is a fighter, a winner and an inspiration, and there is no doubt that her future at Notre Dame looks very bright.
Recycle Used Oil & Filters! Do you change your car’s motor oil? Did you know that used motor oil and oil filters are recyclable? Used oil can be re-refined or processed into new motor oil. Currently only 46% of used motor oil is being recycled, which means 20 million gallons may be illegally entering California’s waterways via stormwater systems, posing a great risk to the environment. One gallon of used oil can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water; polluting our waterways and threatening fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

By Emmy Hernandez Certified Financial Planner® Practitioner Attorney at Law Hello Everyone, Allow me this moment to address Tax Scams. Fake communications from financial predators claiming to represent the IRS have ramped up. Both friends and clients have brought several recent occurrences to my attention. This is deeply concerning. IRS imposters are calling people claiming that back taxes are owed and demanding payment. The elderly and
recent immigrants are particularly vulnerable to these manipulations. Please know that the IRS: • won’t call you about taxes owed without first mailing you an official notice. • won’t demand payment without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount due. • won’t require you to use a prepaid debit card. • won’t ask for your personal information over the phone. • won’t threaten to arrest you for not paying taxes. These predators may know the last four digits of your Social Security number. This doesn’t prove the caller is legitimate. Some caller ID machines may display ‘IRS’ or note that the call is originating from the 202 area code in Washington DC. Likewise, this proves nothing. If a message is left on your answering machine, do not call them back. That only allows these fraudsters a chance to hook
you. Instead, write down the callback number and contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1(800)366-4484. These are the folks tasked with rooting out such tax scams. If you owe taxes, the IRS will contact you by U.S. mail – never, ever, through email. If you do receive a supposed email from the IRS, do not open any attachments or click on any links in the email. Instead, forward it to phishing@ irs.gov. Conversely, a caller may claim that you have a refund due. This is to trick you into disclosing personal information. Do not fall for it. Remember, the IRS will send you a letter in the mail when they want to initiate contact with you. The IRS regularly reports on new scams at http:// www.irs.gov/uac/Tax-ScamsConsumer-Alerts. If someone contacts you unexpectedly and offers you a grant, that too is a scam. This isn’t always as self-evident as it may seem. Don't provide your financial information, So-
cial Security numbers or any personal information to anyone over the phone no matter how legitimate they sound. On a more positive note, I’d like to extend an invitation to two workshops that I’ll be hosting in the next few weeks entitled “Make Sense of Annuities”. Join me at 10 am on September 27th at the Langley Center in Monterey Park or at 2 pm at the Monrovia Public Library. Annuities may play an important part in many retirement plans. However, they can be complicated to fully understand. Come learn the ins and outs of different types of annuities and to determine if they can be put to work for you.

this important endeavor.” Student athletes will be eligible to receive a free cardiac MRI designed to identify an inherited heart condition that predisposes a student to sudden cardiac death, a non-traumatic, nonviolent, unexpected event resulting from the cessation of the heart beating within six hours of a previously witnessed state of normal health. People at risk for SCD are usually without symptoms and unaware that they have a predisposing condition. “I am excited to be able
to offer this new benefit to our PUSD athletes,” said Ann Rector, district coordinator of health programs. “This study has the potential of not only saving a life, but also helping researchers understand sports-related trauma.” District athletes can also receive brain scans designed to diagnosis and prevent brain injuries resulting from a concussion. Concussions are traumatic brain injuries that can lead to chronic cognitive and neurobehavioral difficulties especially if the concussions are recurrent.
Although the majority of athletes who experience a concussion are likely to recover, an unknown number of these individuals may experience difficulties related to recurrent injury, commonly referred to as post-concussion syndrome. Two MRI head screening exams, an initial screening early in the school year and a follow-up at the end of the school year, are available to student athletes free of charge. Any athlete who experiences a concussion
Everyday is an open house:
while participating in a district sporting event will also receive a follow-up scan to see how the injury has affected the brain. Participation in both the brain and heart scans is optional and will supplement the annual physical exam that athletes receive. An MRI does not involve radiation exposure and the scans are very safe.

In brief remarks to the council on Tuesday Chi said, “What a privilege to be here. I am honored to be a part of such a special place.” He spoke candidly of his experience in Rosemead saying “It is no secret that I had a fabulous career flop in the City of Rosemead.” However, he added that he was “looking forward to rolling up his sleeves and working” to prove that the council had made the right decision in hiring him. Mayor Mary Ann Lutz praising Chi relating that he brought with him extensive experience in budgeting, human resources, and

Alexander Blackburn noted the council was a group of “Five people who rarely see eye to eye” but that they had been unanimous in their selection of him. Council Member Becky Shevlin echoed that comment saying: “it is a great day when all of us can agree.” Council Member Larry Spicer said he was looking forward to working with Chi while Council Member Tom Adams joked that the members of the City staff who were present were all smiling, teasingly questioning whether it was in response to “you (Chi) coming or Fran (Delach – Interim Manager) leaving.”

Monrovia's Square Station
Continued from page 1
Project Analyst in the City Manager’s Office recently explained the improvements being planned. At the Station Square itself (the on-site portion of the project), there will be the Transit Plaza itself at the south end of Primrose Avenue, just north of the Gold Line Station. This is the bus transfer stop at the Plaza. Just west of the plaza the Gold Line is building a 350 space parking structure. There will be a neighborhood park at the east end of the square adjacent to Myrtle Avenue. The park will feature a stage for community functions, a children’s play area with rustic logs for climbing and a picnic area. Connecting the park and the plaza will be a promenade with a water feature running through the middle. The paving in this area will be constructed of water permeable concrete according to Hassel. This will allow rainwater to return to the aquifer rather than running off into the storm drain system. The promenade will run just north of the old historic Santa
Fe Depot. An additional pathway will run long north side of the Gold Line tracks from Magnolia Avenue to Myrtle Avenue. This pathway will feature native plants and give historical information about the traditional use of these plants. This area will also act as a bioswale, again allow rainwater to return to the aquifer. The Gold Line Construction Authority is making some improvements in the area as well. The GLCA will be putting up fencing along the tracks to prevent pedestrians from wandering onto the tracks according to Vasquez. She and Hassan explained that the construction authority was also responsible for the barriers where the Gold Line crosses city streets at grade. In Monrovia, these include the crossings at Mayflower, Magnolia, Myrtle, California and Mountain Avenues. The off-site improvements include repaving and reconstructing several of the roadways
around and near the Gold Line Station and the Station Square Development. Reconstructing a roadway differs from merely repaving, according to Hassel, in that the old roadway is completely removed down to the dirt and then completely rebuilt. Repaving is merely as the name implies, paving over the existing surface after it has been reworked to accept the new surface. Myrtle Avenue from the 210 Freeway south to Duarte Road will be reconstructed as will Duarte Road from Magnolia to California Avenues. Evergreen will be repaved from Magnolia on the west to the eastbound freeway on ramp just east of Myrtle Avenue. Magnolia from the freeway south the Duarte Road will also be repaved. Pomona will also be repaved from Magnolia to Primrose in front of the new apartment complex, The Parks, the construction of which was recently approved by the city council.

paper. In addition many of the sidewalks in the area will be repaved and in some cases expanded. At the end of the freeway off ramp from the east bound 210 Freeway to Myrtle Avenue, there will be a large Monrovia sign. The plan also calls for what the Public Works director calls “street furniture” which is “Civil Engineer Speak” for buss stop benches and trash cans. There will be new landscaping along the roadsides and on medians being added to Myrtle and Duarte Roads. There will be a fence in the center of the median on Duarte Road. The fence will discourage students from Santa Fe Middle School from jaywalking across Duarte Road in front of the school. New traffic signals will be added at the corners of Pomona and Myrtle, and Peck Road and Duarte Road. This second signal will give students an additional safe way to cross Duarte Road.
One other traffic change is being implemented: vehicles turning off Genoa onto Magnolia are already being restricted to turning right only (southbound toward Duarte Road). Those turning off Pomona onto Magnolia will soon be restricted to right turns only (in this case, northbound onto Magnolia toward the 210 Freeway). All this leaves one question remaining. What will be done with the historic Santa Fe Depot building itself? According to Vasquez, the city has not yet made definitive plans for the depot. “We needed to determine to the cost of the other work being done to determine how much money would be available for work on the depot,” she said. Both she and Hassel claimed that since the contracts for the first part of the work at Station Square have been awarded, the city will be able to begin making decisions about the depot including what needs to be
done to the station, how and for what use it can be put. Neighborhood Park Sketch: Above is an artist’s conception of the neighborhood park being built as a part of the Station Square Complex. At the far right is the park’s stage, at the center top, the play area with the picnic area at the center bottom. Along the left hand edge of the sketch is the promenade area with the water feature running through the center of the walk. This diagram below shops the relative positions of the various components of the Station Square Complex. Just north of the Parking Structure, the Samuelson/ Fetter Company is building the apartment complex, The Parks. As a part of the complex, just north of the tracks from Magnolia there will also be a path with historic native plantings and interpretive signs.
