America’s top jockeys and trainers are set to compete beginning Friday, Sept. 26, as Santa Anita’s 23-day Autumn Meet, which will be highlighted by the twoday Breeders’ Cup World Championships on Oct. 31
& Nov. 1. “We’ve got an incredible overall jockey colony and our horse inventory looks good as well,” said Rick Hammerle, Santa Anita Vice President of Racing. “Our trainer roster is second
to none and we’re optimistic we’re going to be able to provide our fans top-class racing and good betting opportunities.” Rafael Bejarano, who will be seeking his 20th leading rider title in Southern
oughbred Walk of Champions in Arcadia. The walk, with bronze markers ala the Hollywood Walk of Fame, celebrates the many horses, owners, trainers and jockeys who have made thoroughbred racing history. Instead of stars, these honorees will have horseshoes in the walk. The markers can already be found in the sidewalks along Huntington Drive from Santa Anita to just beyond Second Avenue on both sides of the street and on First Avenue from Huntington up to the Gold Line Station site. Fittingly “Lucky” Baldwin’s marker is at the corner of Santa Anita
Santa Anita Race Track is the Founding Sponsor of the Walk. The horseshoes give more information than just the name of the individual. There is enough information to form a picture of why the honoree was selected. “We wanted to honor those who were better than the best,” said Beth Costanza. “We wanted to create a story of why they were important in the markers.” This is a project that has been in the minds of many people for quite a while. Costanza, one of the trium-

Started by pastors who recognized the needs of the less fortunate, Friends In Deed has made it its mission to work together on what they can’t do alone, and to keep as many people as possible off the streets, as Director Donna Byrns explained. Friends In Deed offers a food pantry, a bad-weather shelter during cold winter months, and a women’s room, where all women can come and find a homelike atmosphere. Additionally, the organization provides a laundry facility, showers, and homeless prevention.

Dorothy's Place The Tyranny of Time
By Dorothy Denne 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's 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 !!! Editor’s note: We decided to re –run this column as a courtesy to our readers. Last week’s column had an incorrect headline and we also goofed on the previous week’s headline leaving the reader confused and the author perturbed by our proofreading skill, or should I say lack there of.. Sincere apologies to Dorothy Denne for our egregious errors, which I’m sure, fingers crossed, will never happen again.
The long road to reach an apartment complex at Station Square By Susan Motander On September 2, the development firm Samuelson & Fetter received approval for a 261-unit apartment complex as a part of Monrovia’s Station Square. This is the first private development approved as part of the redesign of the area. As Blaine Fetter, one of the principals of the company, explained to the city’s Planning Commission (a la the Beatles song), “this has been a long and winding road.” Originally Samuelson Fetter was set to develop the entire 80-acre site that made up Station Square. The firm had been working with the city since the early 2000s to create a new center surrounding the Gold Line Station. The entire development envisioned at that time stretched from Magnolia Avenue on the West to Shamrock Avenue on the East, and from the 210 Freeway on the north to Duarte Road on the south. Slowly that project erod-
ed away. First, the Gold Line needed the eastern third of the property for its maintenance yard. This virtually eliminated the planned unit development element of the project. Eventually a revised, smaller plan that encompassed only 25 acres was approved in 2008. The 2008 plan involved only the area directly around the square from Magnolia to Myrtle Avenues and from Evergreen Avenue south to Duarte Road. There was to be a residential complex between Magnolia and Primrose along Pomona Avenue on the north side of the tracks (Phase I of the development) and a mixed-use facility between Primrose and Myrtle (Phase II). This plan called for the parking structure for the Gold Line Station to be on the south side of the tracks. Unfortunately, the Gold Line parking structure had to be moved to the north side of the tracks putting it right in the middle of the planned residential complex. At about the same time, the California State Legislature terminated Redevelopment Agencies throughout the state. This meant the city could not acquire the property needed to complete the planned project. At that time Samuelson Fetter sued the city. As Blaine Fetter said at the time, “We had no choice; we needed to protect our interest.” The lawsuit did not blame the city for the problems, but rather brought up the issue of its inability to comply with its agreement with Samuelson & Fetter for reasons beyond the city’s control. The settlement reached by all the parties to the lawsuit, left only 2.8 acres for this first development. The complex will consist of two buildings of apartments and a separate parking structure between and surrounded by the apartment structures. This style is called a “wrap” construction, rather than “pedestal.” In the latter, the apartments are built on top on (quite often subterranean) the parking facilities. Here the apartments almost hide the parking facilities. The complex will also have two courtyards, one in the center of each apartment building. In one courtyard there will be a swimming pool, pond, barbeque facilities and conversation areas. The other courtyard will be more

restful and contemplative with conversation nodes and a “fire feature.” In addition there will also be a “sky deck” on top of the parking structure with facilities for the residents to entertain with an almost 360 degree views of the surrounding area. According to Fetter, it will have “a fie star hotel ambiance.” There will be a lobby/ lounge area, a two-story fitness room, and club/game room with WiFi, along with bike storage and repair shop. There will even be charging stations for electric cars. This is not the average apartment building. In the proposal supporting the complex, Lynda Fetter, Blaine’s wife and another Samuelson Fetter principal, wrote “Our goal is to create high quality, high-density housing adjacent to the Monrovia Gold Line Station.” Blaine Fetter said that in planning the complex, they had even rented a crane to lift themselves 80 feet into the air to “see” the view residents would have from the “sky deck.” He described it as “amazing.” The apartments themselves range from 586 sq. ft. studios with separate areas for living/kitchen and sleeping, to spacious 1266 sq. ft. two bedroom apartments with patios. All have washer/dryers and kitchens. The focus is greatly on the common areas previously detailed. Blaine Fetter summed up the situation well in his presentation to the city. He wrote “Little of our original dream can remain but what still makes us happy is that Monrovia’s Station will create a sense of arrival and importance that will be unique for the greater Los Angeles area. The Parks at Station Square will be a wonderful living experience for all its occupants.” There are still optimists left.

Local Congressional leader calls U.S. Military strikes against ISIL ‘significant’
Rep. Adam Schiff (DCA), a senior Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement after the President ordered strikes against ISIL and the Khorasan group in Syria last night: “Last night's airstrikes against ISIL targets in Syria represent a significant expansion of the Administration's efforts to degrade and ultimately defeat this new
terrorist ‘state.’ The participation of Arab forces is especially important, not only to put an Arab face on the American led coalition, but also to cement their involvement in the long-term effort required to defeat ISIL. “The attack on the Khorasan group was also significant. On the Intelligence Committee we have long been aware of, and concerned with, the threat posed by this amalgam of
core Al Qaeda from Afghanistan and Pakistan, the premier bomb-makers of AQAP, and abundant foreign recruits who can easily travel abroad to carry out attacks against Europe and United States. The Khorasan group and AQAP continue to be the most proximate threat to our nation. “This significant escalation of the military effort makes it all the more imperative for Congress to take up a new authorization to use force. The rationale given by the Administration, that its actions against ISIL can be justified by an authorization passed by Congress in the days after 9/11, is increasingly untenable, and Congress must not abdicate its responsibility. Congress should never have recessed with a war underway – we should take up this issue the moment we return to session.”

The latest The sale of real estate in Sierra Madre continues at a rapid pace, with 29 properties being sold in April, May and June. There were also 25 properties sold in July and August. This totals 54 properties sold in five months, so the fast pace continues after the 149 properties that were sold in 2013. The prices are also climbing and the price per square foot has moved up from a $400.00/sq. ft. figure to over $500.00/sq.ft. average in the month of August on the sale of 16 properties. Two properties, one built in 1963 and the other in 1968 were four bedroom, 3 bath homes of less than 2,500 sq. ft., and were sold for well over $1 M. The basic question is why are these people selling? The answer has to be that when they reach retirement age, they simply cannot afford to live here. Do you suppose that the operation of Sierra
Madre has anything to do with the reason for selling? The City's constant increases in every fee and tax and other costs, such as the two price increases in the water rates, are most certainly factors that will cause longtime residents to decide to move away. Do the toughest restrictions for water use have anything to do with it? We think so! Does the attitude of the Planning Commissioners have anything to do with it? The basic threshold for an applicant appearing before them is because they wish to build a home over 4,000 sq. ft. Some of the Commissioners keep trying to reduce the size to under 4,000 sq. ft. They also work to try to eliminate the second floor. Their favorite word is to reduce the "mass." We believe they need to think about why they are there. Are they there to approve plans that are in conformance to the
codes or are they there to reject the plans based upon their own personal likes and dislikes? The City Administration also makes a big problem out of everything. The latest example is to simply re-open the City Hall doors to serve the people during the morning hours. The doors were open for years and they have only been closed for approximately one year. Why does the General Plan update take so long? Over four years have passed and a $250,000 consultant was paid and they are still talking about taking another 3 to 5 years to finish. All of these things cost the taxpayers of the City more and more money. The City's income is constantly going up, but they cry about being underpaid! My oh my! This surely gives one a headache!

Problems in El Monte Beacon Media: The letter from David Siegrist pointed out many of the problems in El Monte brought on by neglect, poor administration, etc. There is no question that blight exists. It failed, however, to point out a problem that has enormous negative consequences for the thousands
of students who attend the secondary schools in the El Monte Union High School district, a district that does not serve the wealthiest families in Southern California. The question is: why hasn’t the governing board sent the superintendent packing. He has run the district into the ground. Every single high school in the dis-
trict is in Program Improvement, some for at least the past five years. Could it be that no one in a position to correct this dismal failure pays attention because these are predominantly low income, brownskinned students? -A very concerned resident September 21, 2014 Cc: L.A. Times

Smart Women Smart Money
By Emmy Hernandez Certified Financial Planner® Practitioner Attorney at Law Emmy, what is a ‘stretch’ IRA? A ‘stretch’ IRA is not a type of IRA but a tool estate planners sometimes use to transfer wealth from one generation to future generations. When an IRA owner dies, the account typically becomes the beneficiary’s possession. The inheritor must choose between two distribution strategies; either cash-out the account or stretch the inherited IRA’s withdrawals over their life expectancy. If the beneficiary takes the entire cash value in one lump sum or within five years, then ordinary income taxes are paid. The money is free to be reinvested or spent – hopefully not in the vein of “Oh, goodie, a new car!” But should the beneficiary decide to keep the inherited IRA, a ‘stretch’ distribution strategy is often employed. The rules for
stretching an inherited IRA can be complex if the original owner passed after reaching 70 ½ or if there are several beneficiaries. The IRS bases the distribution amount on the life expectancy of the eldest non-spouse beneficiary. To avoid this limitation, multiple inheritors must each be designated as primary beneficiaries and transfer their inheritance into separate accounts. In general: The younger the inheritor - the smaller the Required Minimum Distributions. Smaller distributions allow more time for the IRA to collect tax-deferred compound interest. Thus, stretching the withdrawals over a long lifetime can encourage the funds to grow substantially. Naming much younger beneficiaries, such as grandchildren or great-grandchildren, is the key. Generation skipping tax rules will still apply. Also, this strategy may be impractical if the surviving spouse or adult children themselves require the income. By withdrawing the bare minimum amount each year, a larger interest-earning balance is put to work. Although new money cannot be added into an inherited IRA, ‘stretching’ allows this asset to pass to succeeding generations with tax-deferred growth, or in the case of an Inherited Roth IRA - tax-free growth. Generally, inherited Roth IRAs are subject to most of the same rules as a traditional IRA. The main dif-
ference for an inherited Roth IRA is that the deceased’s age is no longer relevant. Although there is no mandatory distribution for a Roth IRA, inherited Roths do require annual RMDs. The five year holding period for tax-free qualification still applies; therefore the beneficiary needs to know the first year the original owner made a contribution. Choosing the stretch option is not an irrevocable decision. A beneficiary may opt to stop ‘stretching’ anytime and withdraw the entire balance of the inherited IRA. This flexibility is another significant benefit. I’d like to extend an invitation to two workshops that I’ll be hosting 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.

Schools Chief Tom Torlakson invites comment on draft history - Social Science Framework State Superintendent Tom Torlakson announced today that California is moving forward to improve the way educators teach history and social science by gathering public comment on a new framework. “By updating the framework, California is making sure students benefit from the latest methods of teaching history and social sciences,” Torlakson said. “Learning these subjects helps students understand and shape the world around them, which will better prepare them for college and careers.” The draft History–Social Science Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade
Twelve (Framework) will provide guidance for teachers, administrators, and parents on how to implement a curriculum, based on content standards in the classroom. The draft covers more recent historical events, reflects changes in the law since the last framework was adopted in 2001, and helps educators teach the critical analytical skills students need for 21st century careers. The draft Framework and a “field review” survey are now posted on the California Department of Education’s History–Social Science Curriculum Frameworks Web page. In addition to participating in the online survey, people may also send com-
ments on the draft Framework to hssframework@cde. ca.gov. The comment period will remain open until November 25, 2014. All public comments received during the field review survey will be presented to the Instructional Quality Commission this winter for review and possible inclusion into the final Framework. There will be a second public review in the spring of 2015. The State Board of Education is scheduled to take action on the final Framework by May 2015. For more information, visit the California Department of Education’s History– Social Science Curriculum Frameworks Web page.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department launch a body-worn camera pilot program
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has long recognized the advancement in bodyworn camera technology as a useful and practical tool for enhancing public trust and increased transparency. In addition, it is also a valuable way to obtain better video and audio evidence while providing a law enforcement perspective. In July 2013, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department began plans for performing a no-cost test and evaluation of a Body Worn Camera System. After completing extensive research and a request for information procurement process, four manufacturers were selected to participate in the pilot program, which was formally initiated on Monday, September 1, 2014. The six month pilot program will evaluate the feasibility of utilizing a Body Worn Camera System for Sheriff’s Depart-
ment personnel to record interactions with citizens, the specifications for the procurement of a Body Worn Camera System device, file management software, cloud-based storage solution and an evaluation of future Department policy. The pilot program will also identify the strengths and weaknesses associated with the use of a Body Worn Camera System in a law enforcement capacity. The evaluation will be performed at four Sheriff’s patrol stations which include: Lancaster Station, Temple Station, Century Station, and Carson Station. The Deputies who participate in this pilot program are voluntary. Each Deputy will be provided training on the use of the device, maintenance, uploading video files, retrieving video files for viewing and evidence and protocols for utilization. Deputies will provide weekly evaluations to the Department project manager about their experiences
and opinions. A total of 96 Body Worn Camera System devices will be issued to Department personnel. The devices will also be tested in several side-by-side comparison tests by the Department’s Training Bureau. At the end of the test phase, which concludes on March 1, 2015, the Sheriff’s Department will prepare an assessment report and recommendation for potential future procurement and deployment of a Body Worn Camera System by Sheriff’s Department personnel. “The Body-Worn Camera system is the next step in the modern evolution of law enforcement technology. Just as radios and computers have become common place in law enforcement, these camera systems will be utilized by law enforcement as a matter of routine. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is systematically researching and testing these systems as well as developing policies and a

Friends in Deed
Continued from page 1
Jackie Knowles, founding coordinator of The Women’s Room, proudly told me that it has existed for seven years, and started off with eight women. Juliana is one of 25-35 ladies who are homeless or at-risk, who come to the Women’s Room to either get help, take one of the many classes and services offered from a weekly writing class, to “Ask a Nurse,” to take computer lessons, or just to socialize and connect with others who face a similar destiny. The women here feel comfortable because they are not being judged and are free to come and go whenever they please with signing in as the only required paperwork. Theresa is one of the lucky women who found housing, but still returns to The Women’s Room because she loves the people and the activities. She also participates in the writing group. Jackie was inspired to found The Women’s Room after reading a ten-year strategy to end homelessness and finding out that out of the 1,200 homeless in the city, one-third were women. However, for homeless women without a verifiable drug or mental problem, there were no services offered. Therefore, she decided that homeless women with or without these problems needed a place where they could feel whole, lift each other up, and get treated with dignity and respect, and so Jackie created the Women’s Room after the model of the women’s shelter in Downtown Los Angeles. Friends In Deed works closely together with the Pasadena Housing Department and other organizations to end homelessness and to prevent it. They offer financial
and employment counseling. The Food Pantry of Friends In Deed serves an estimated 4,000 people monthly, and is the only one that lets people shop according to their needs rather than getting a pre-prepared bag full of groceries they might not like or need. When 40 years ago a Pasadena homeless man froze to death, Friends In Deed established The Bad Weather shelter for the weeks between Thanksgiving and March 15, which served nearly 1,000 homeless men, women and children in the 2012-2013 season. During holidays, Friends in Deed plans special events, or, just recently, had a Back To School backpack drive, thanks to which 180 kids received backpacks with school supplies. The organization prides itself on minimal staff and bureaucracy, and on a wide range of volunteers. Without them, the organization simply wouldn’t exist. Jackie and Tara Hull, The Women’s Room’s program director, and many other employees agree on that. Local supermarkets, parents, students, retired professionals, and others all help by donating their time, food, clothes, and money to people in need. If you would like to contribute as well, please visit http://www. ecpac.net/how_youCan_hep. html and find out how you
can help. Hosted by Fritz Coleman, stand-up comic and KNBC weatherman, the 120th anniversary of Friends in Deed will take place on November 5, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at Castle Green, 99 S. Raymond Ave., Pasadena. Tickets are $120. Valet parking will be available. For the event, Friends in Deed is planning “A Walk Through History” paired with food, music and auctions, honor contributors, but also three former homeless women, who are now, thanks to Friends In Deed, self-sustaining. The success story of Evelyn provides strong proof of how Friends In Deed helps the less fortunate: seven years ago, Evelyn told me, she lost her administrative assistant job because her company went bankrupt. Without any family close, she landed on the streets. With finding The Women’s Room, Evelyn also found new hope, and a job. “If it wasn’t for this place, I wouldn’t know what my life would have been,” Evelyn said. Even though she isn’t homeless anymore, she still comes back to The Women’s Room and gives back to others, saying that there she has family fellowship and everyone looking out for each other.
Governor Brown signs sister state agreement with China's Guangdong Province

Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. last week signed an agreement to establish a sister state/province relationship between California and the Guangdong Province of China and pledged to strengthen ties with the province on trade, technological innovation, clean energy, low carbon development, education and tourism. Last year – during the Governor’s Trade and Investment Mission to China – Governor Brown visited Guangdong’s capital city of
Guangzhou, where he committed to forge a stronger relationship with China’s most populous and economically productive province. The agreement builds on more than a year and a half of significant diplomatic and business exchanges between California and China, including a climate change agreement with China’s National Development and Reform Commission, the Trade and Investment Mission to China, the opening of the California-China Of-

John Mattos returns as official artist of the 2014 Breeders’ Cup World Championships
The Breeders’ Cup has announced that multiaward winning illustrator John Mattos has been named the official artist for the 2014 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The Mattos collection features two brilliant art deco images celebrating the 31st running of the event at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Calif., on October 31-November 1. The Breeders’ Cup is Thoroughbred racing’s most prestigious international event, consisting of 13 races and purses and awards totaling $26 million. It is also an annual gathering of stars from Hollywood entertainment, business, sports and celebrities from all walks of life, and held at one of the world’s most picturesque horse racing venues. The Breeders’ Cup will be televised live by the NBC Sports Group, with the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic shown live and in primetime on NBC. In his second year as the Official Artist of the Breed-
ers' Cup World Championships, Mattos has evoked his retro-inspired style to capture the Art Deco setting of Santa Anita Park. The first image, which is the 2014 official poster, consists of a monumental Thoroughbred and rider seemingly etched into the San Gabriel Mountains. Below the towering symbol, an elegant crowd watches as the best thoroughbreds in the world race toward a place in prestigious racing history. The second image depicts a flamboyant female wearing a fascinator showcasing a montage of the racetrack, and is complimented by her trendy aviator sunglasses which reflect the day’s racing action. Both images will appear on the Friday and Saturday official racetrack programs and on all event tickets to Santa Anita Park. “John's portrayal of this year’s event captures the elegance, style and excitement of the Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita Park,” said
Peter Rotondo, Breeders’ Cup Vice President of Media and Entertainment. “We

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.

tivities, and to provide fans an opportunity to take home some treasured memories of their 2014 experience.” “Drawing the majestic Thoroughbred in such a stunning and picturesque backdrop as Santa Anita Park has been an inspiring experience for the second consecutive year,” said Mattos. “It is a thrill once again to be a part of this tremendous international event and to share my work with fans attending from all corners of the world.” Since his 2013 Breeders' Cup debut, Mr. Mattos has lent his distinctive style to a number of high profile projects both in the US and abroad. His work has recently been featured on two United States Postal Service "Forever" stamps depicting classic hot rods. Showcased, are two 1932 Ford® “Deuce” roadsters. The fast, powerful vehicles that thrill-seeking enthusiasts have been modifying for nearly a century are celebrated on two eye-popping stamps. Each stamp depicts an iconic 1932 Ford® “Deuce” roadster. Mattos fans can enjoy an appearance on "Jay Leno's Garage" via You Tube, August 14, 2014, to learn about this exciting commission. Consummate Los Angeles based hot rod historian and owner of one of the quintessential cars, Bruce Meyer discusses the history along with Jay Leno in this fascinating video. Concurrent with the unveiling of the Official Art of the 2014 Breeders' Cup Championship artwork is the eminent debut of a year-long Mattos installation at one of the London's hottest new hotels in Brown Hart Gardens, Mayfair. The Beaumont Hotel is located moments from Selfridges and Bond Street and is slotted to become a must see for Londoners and travelers alike. The work of famed British sculptor, Antony Gormley, has provided a controversial facade element to the building, the interior of which is a $2500 per night hotel suite. John Mattos' work is prominently featured in the fashionable restaurant called the "Colony Room". Named for various American "colonies" (cit-

ies), Mattos' images depict sporting events that reached their heyday in the 1930's in those particular towns. The series is titled, "American Geography Told Through Sport", and will be pivotal design elements in the Beaumont's American themed bar. Mattos’ twelve sporting scenes will be stretched like fine art installations, varying in size from 6' to 12' wide. American sporting themes such as spring board diving, greyhound racing, polo, and airplane races are but a few of the
vintage themes. Mattos has numerous ties to the Los Angeles area. He graduated from internationally acclaimed Art Center College Of Design in Pasadena, and he has lectured at UC Berkeley, Stanford, and C.C.A.C, among others. Another connection is his list of credentials for various film properties including Disney, MGM/UA and Coppola/American Zoetrope. The American Film Institute named his artwork for The Rocketeer in their 100 Best Movie Posters of all Time.

Classes are forming now in South Pasadena for KinderPiano for Little Fingers®. The five-week program launches preschoolers through first graders into musical instrument studies. Susan Pascale, director of the Pascale Music Institute (formerly the South Pasadena Strings Program), discovered through years of experience that the perfect age to start youngsters on piano is 3 ½ or older. Several Temple City youngsters have completed this piano program and gone on to study stringed instruments. These include brothers Justin (kindergartener) and Adrian (4th grader) Kong; and sisters, Isabella (2nd grader) and Victoria (6th grader) Realzola. After completing the piano course, Adrian moved on to cello, while Justin still studies piano. Isabella went to violin and Victoria took up the cello. The Realzolas travelled to Carnegie Hall in 2013 to perform with the Pascale Music Institute’s prestigious
Los Angeles Children’s Orchestra. All the children are already gearing up for their 2017 performance at Carnegie Hall. “What I’ve found is the kids who studied piano before strings were more successful at a string instrument than those who didn’t,” says Susan Pascale. “They have developed the brain pathways for learning music, and then are ready to tackle the more difficult physical challenges of the violin or other stringed instrument.” At her institute, Pascale adds, “KinderPiano is a prerequisite for youngsters who want to play strings.” Pascale has developed a Galamian– based violin method for children as young as 4. The five-week KinderPiano class session, Pascale explains, is just enough time to assess a child’s readiness to begin musical studies and lay the groundwork for success. “After five weeks, most children are ready to take higher levels of lessons. Some children, however, might take 3
to 6 months off before resuming lessons again. KinderPiano classes are small. Each child sits at a keyboard, with a parent alongside them. They learn basic piano skills, including listening, rhythm, form, and simple note-reading. At the conclusion of the series, there is a recital “There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing the looks on the parents’ faces when their child is going in front of an audience for the first time,” says Pascale. “My daughter bowed backwards at her first recital. These are priceless moments.” KinderPiano sessions includes 5 Saturday morning classes followed by a recital. The next session will begin on October 18th. The cost is $175 per class (including all books and materials). Keyboards for home use are available for rent or rent to buy.

Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria opens in Pasadena - September 26 Popular customizable pizza concept opens its first Pasadena location in Old Town
"Pasadena has been on our radar from day one," said Anthony Carron, Chef and Founder of 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria. "It has such a great sense of community and we're very excited to be in such a gorgeous, historic venue." The two-story, 5000 square foot venue is located in a structure designed in 1929 by John C. Austin, who was also responsible for Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles City Hall and the Shrine Auditorium. The dining room is registered on the National Registry of Historic Places, and the 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizza remodel will restore many of the design details to their original form. Also uncovered during the construction process was a mural depicting historic Pasadena originally painted
in 1989 by famed artist Kenton Nelson, who was commissioned to restore the work to its original beauty. A Los Angeles native, Nelson has
located his art studio in Pasadena for the past 35 years. 800 Degrees Pasadena will have 65 seats along with a private basement dining room seating an additional 30 guests for private parties or overflow seating. It will
be firing pizzas from a custom "double" Mario Acunto wood-burning oven, along with serving beer and wine, 7 days a week from 11 AM to 2 AM. 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria's mission is to expose a broad audience to authentic Neapolitan pizza exactly as it was first invented and continues to be perfected in Naples, Italy. All pizzas are made in accordance with rigid quality standards, including the use of Italian '00' flour, fresh mozzarella, imported Italian tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil before being baked in a very hot wood-burning brick oven. Also available are fresh, customizable salads, burrata plates and authentic Italian gelato. For more information on 800 Degrees, visit www.800degreespizza.com.
Walk of Champions Continued from page 1
virate of women behind the project, said that the idea was discussed more than 20 years ago when she owned a restaurant on First Avenue. Former Council Member Gail Marshall (another of the trio) said that when it was brought up to the city council several years ago, it died for lack of support. The Historical Society created the committee to develop the project , however, and it was this group that has been working to see the walk become a reality. It has come to be because, as Costanza said, “the right people were in the right places at the right time.” By the right people, she pointed not only to her two co-chairs, Marshal and Sandy Snyder, the Los Angeles County Arboretum Historian, but also to the current members of the City Council and the City Manager, Dominic Lazzaretto. “The City has been very supportive of our effort,” she said. With the formation of the new Business Improvement District around the area of Huntington Drive
and First Avenue, there has been increased focus on that area. The BID along with the Gold Line Station coming to that area created the right time for the project in there. The celebration Saturday will mark the culmination of a huge amount of work for the three women

who made up the committee. There was fund-raising and planning and decisions. Marshall said one of the hardest parts was making decisions about who would be on the walk. The are markers for horses everyone remembers like Secretariat, and jockeys like Willie Shoemaker, but there are also the
lesser known, but equally important people like Joe Hernandez. Hernandez was the “Voice of Santa Anita” announcing 15,587 races from 1934 through 1972. He was the Vin Scully of racing. This Saturday there will be music (rock and roll of course) and vintage cars, along with many of those whose “Horseshoes” make up the walk. Matt McSweeney of Matt Denny’s restaurant summed up the situation very well: “The Thoroughbred Walk of Champions has been established because of a 20 year effort by Beth Costanza, Gail Marshall and Sandy Snyder. They should be commended for thief spirited effort in getting the project from the drawing board to the sidewalks. “The plaques are beautiful and will be an asset to the City of Arcadia for years to come. “I am looking forward to an awesome opening ceremony on Saturday, September 27.”

Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shew" never sounded so good "Kiss Me, Kate" at the Pasadena Playhouse is simply stellar
What play--make that musical--could be worth a 45-minute wait from the time seated to the moment actual opening bars fill the air? It's Cole Porter's "Kiss Me, Kate," from the Pasadena Playhouse, and do not worry: not only is there likely to be a much shorter wait when you see it (the opening night gala, after all, demands laudits and hand-shaking and speechmaking for the talented and determinined contributors who bring it to fruition), but it is worth the wait. Well worth the wait. The musical comedy, infused with a rich, jazzy undertone, is packed with A-List talent (need we mention multi-Emmy Award winner Wayne Brady himself?), sumptuous costumes, sharp and sensual dancing, and so much witty wordplay that you'll probably need to see it twice. "Kiss Me, Kate" represents the iconic composerlyricist Cole Porter at his very best and includes some of theatre's most famouse songs:
"Too Darn Hot," "Brush Up Your Shakespeare," and the riotious "I Hate Men!" It is a play within a play: the story of an actor and his ex-wife who struggle to work together on a musical version of "The Taming of the Shrew;" Shakespeare's comedy in which a bitter, nagging woman named Katherine is wooed and overcome by Petruchio, who wanted her money but falls in love with the woman as well by the end. Needless to say, the battles off the stage start to bleed into the "Taming," and the result is a hilarious war of the sexes-and the exes. The show also celebrates the joys, madness, and rewards of working in the theatre, both onstage and off. The Pasadena Playhouse production views the work through a new lens, using the wonderful material of this celebrated production to showcase the trailblazing African-American actors and entertainers of the early 20th century.

Annual Taste of Arcadia draws record numbers this year It seems there are more “ Taste of…” events than ever before this year but one always stands out from the crowd - the splendid Taste of Arcadia. Last year’s outdoor event at the Los Angeles County Arboretum drew a record 1,300 attendees and more than 90 vendors and entertainers. This year’s event far exceeded that according to or-
ganizers. The weather, a little warmer than usual, was perfect for the annual shindig that has become one of the most popular of its kind in the Los Angeles area. The Business Showcase at the Taste showcased over 40 businesses and a handful of car dealers. Attendees enjoyed the many differ-
ent foods and tastes from at no additional charge beyond the admission ticket from more than 40 of the most exciting local restaurants, caterers and wine-and-beer vendors. Lounge-O-Rama band played swing, Big Band and Standards early in the evening, and shifting to classic pop and rock after dark; Daniela Brazil and her popular
exotic Brazilian dancers were also a big hit as usual; MonArc Face/Body Painting and Balloon Animals; and the Arcadia High School drum line serenaded attendees as they arrived. A percentage of proceeds from Taste of Arcadia go to local non-profit organizations — $5 per ticket for every ticket sold by a pre-approved organization. -Photo by Jacob Bigley

PCC instructor, playwright nominated for NAACP Theatre Award
-Courtesy Photo
Gabrielle Piria, an award-winning novelist and longtime adjunct instructor of English at Pasadena City College, has been nominated for a 2014 NAACP Theatre Award in the Best Playwright category. Pina received the accolade for Letters From Zora: in Her Own Words, a play inspired by the works of folklorist and author Zora Neale Hurston. "It's a wonderful honor and I appreciate it very much," said Pina, who has taught at the college for 15 years. Featuring original music and archival images, Letters From Zora explores Hurston's controversial views on integration, segregation, and social justice. Often called the most prolific AfricanAmerican woman writer of her time, Hurston was a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance era of the 1920s. "Letters From Zora is
an authentic, multi-sensory experience of an extraordinary woman who defied the social conventions of the day and lived a life of her own creation," Pina said. "The artistic fusion of music, history, and literary prose illuminates the resilience of the human spirit as well as Ms. Hurston's philosophy of life and literature in her own words." The play was Pina's first she ever wrote. Her second, Dreaming Of Harlem Under A High Southern Sky, tells the story of three women who grew up on a plantation outside of New Orleans and migrated to Harlem at the dawn of the Harlem Renaissance. It premieres on March 28, 2015 at the University of Southern California's Bovard Auditorium. In addition to her budding career as a playwright, Pina is an author of two novels, Bliss and Chasing Sophea. She is currently penning her third, which has the working title A Season For Hummingbirds. In 2002, Pina won the Pacificus Foundation Literary Prize for Achievement in Short Fiction. "Gabrielle is a talented teacher and writer, whose writing career I have followed for many years," said Amy Ulmer, dean of the
You love that I’m NOT your wife By jENNIFER sCHLUETER The spicy title and the description of Joanne Mosconi’s play promise you an insight into LA’s challenging dating scene where it’s hard to find love and even harder to get married. The 10 “quirky” main characters who are supposed to “mirror contemporary life in LA,” according to the play’s summary, merely focus on the city’s all-white, mostly affluent, stereotypical entertainment scene, and thus, limit the play. According to the Wife’s preview, Sebastian, the 20 year old boy-toy of cougar (good-looking, older woman enjoying sex with a younger man) Nikki, supposedly is “the voice of reason.” At first, this might seem true; however, at the end, he ridicules himself by imitating a “thug play-
er” and falling in love after losing his virginity to another cougar. Because he is the only African-American in the play, this could be seen as offensive by some. If you enjoy soap opera drama, Wife could be for you. After all, it has lots of great jokes and the party scene in Act II, where all secret relationships among the characters are exposed, is a pleasure to watch. You can see “You Love That I’m NOT Your Wife” through October 5th at the Avery Schreiber Playhouse in North Hollywood located at 4934 Lankershim Boulevard. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm, and Sundays at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $25.00 each and can be purchased online at www.fringetheatreco.com.
PCC School of Humanities and Social Sciences. "I am so proud of her latest accomplishment." Letters From Zora recently completed a run at The Pasadena Playhouse with actress Vanessa Bell
Calloway as the sole cast member. Calloway was also nominated for a NAACP Theatre Award in the Best Lead Female category. The play continues its run Oct. 9 through 26 at the Crossroads Theatre in New Brunswick,
N.J.
Winners of the Annual NAACP Theatre Awards will be announced on Nov. 17 at an evening gala held at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif. "Letters From Zora is a
terrific play, and it is so exciting that Gabrielle has been honored for her work with a nomination as best playwright from the NAACP," Ulmer said. "1 hope she wins and the play heads to Broadway!"

real estate, home & garden Ninth Garfield Heights neighborhood tour celebrates architectural diversity, compelling stories
For its ninth tour, the Garfield Heights Neighborhood Association will celebrate the 15th anniversary of its landmark district designation with a special home tour featuring six extraordinary residences, each with a compelling story. Scheduled for Sunday, October 5 from Noon to 5 p.m., the tour will capture the diversity of Garfield Heights’ residential architecture. Pasadena’s leading architects designed homes in the District, which reflects a variety of home sizes and types including Arts and Crafts, Period Revival, Queen Anne, Italianate, and Transitional styles. This year’s homes include an early Greene and Greene, built before the famous brothers had arrived at their signature style. It’s a great house currently undergoing restoration, and was saved from the wrecking ball with the promise of a $1 payment and a dramatic move across town. Another house features the rarity of having its first owner be a teenage girl – in 1912! But there’s a story behind it, and a beautiful house as well. Each of our specially selected homes has a tale to tell, but you have to come on the tour to hear the

real story. Visitors can also enjoy booths and demonstrations featuring The Gamble House Bookstore, Sassafras Pottery, and Scott Campbell of Window Restoration and Repair. All proceeds from the Home Tour support neighborhood improvement projects. Advance tickets are $20; day of event tickets are $25. Children’s tickets (age 10 and under) are free. Tickets may be purchased before September 20 by mail to GHNA, P. O. Box 90322 , Pasadena, CA 91109, or by Pay Pal through the GHNA website, www.garfieldheights. org. Tickets will be held at Will Call at the ticket house, 1207 N. Marengo Ave., starting at 11:45 a.m. the day of the tour, and
will be available for sale at ticket house on the day of the event. Garfield Heights is located one mile north of the I-210 (Foothill) Freeway, north of Mountain Street between Los Robles and Marengo Avenues. The neighborhood traces its history to 1881, when two Iowa farmers purchased raw acreage in what is now Garfield Heights. The neighborhood began to take shape by 1893, and the district joined Pasadena in 1904. Many of the area’s homes, built between 1890 and 1920, exude the sense of grace that permeates the district today. For more information, call 626-345-9796 or e-mail ghnaboard@garfieldheights. org. Full details are available for viewing at www.garfieldheights.org.

An Arcadia Peahen led her few-day-old newborns through the gardens of homeowners near the Arboretum for a dining delight. Some in Arcadia are upset with the birds eating all the flowers and ruining their gardens but other say the birds are a rare delight and bring thousands to Arcadia each year just to witness the phenomenon. Most people use term "peacock" to describe both male and female birds, but peacock is actually a name that refers to male peafowl. Peafowl belong to pheasant family. These birds are native to

Checklist for fall garden and landscape care by Melinda Myers You can see and feel the change of seasons. Fall color is starting to appear, pansies, mums and asters are in the garden center and your thoughts are turning to preparing your landscape for winter. Those in warm climates are switching to winter annuals, while those in colder regions are fortifying their landscapes for the cold winter ahead. No matter where you live, invest some time in preparing your landscape for the change in seasons. Dedicating some time now will pay off with healthier more beautiful plants next spring. • Continue to mow the lawn high as long as it continues to grow. There’s no need to cut it short unless that is the look you prefer. • Fertilize the grass with a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer like Milorganite (milorganite.com). Fall fertilization provides the greatest benefit to your lawn and gives you the best value for the time and money invested. o Those in cooler regions growing bluegrass, fescue and perennial ryegrass should fertilize around Labor Day when temperatures start to cool. Then make a final application between Halloween and Thanksgiving before the ground freezes. o Those in warmer climates growing centipede, Bermuda and zoysia should also fertilize around Labor Day. However, be sure to make the last fall application at least one month prior to the average first killing frost.
• Shred leaves as they fall. Leave some on the lawn to add organic matter and nutrients to the soil. As long as you can see the grass blades through the shredded leaves your lawn will be fine. • Use the rest of the shredded leaves in your compost pile, as mulch on top of the soil or as a soil amendment. Just dig a two to three inch layer into the top 12 inches of annual or new planting beds. These leaves will break down and add organic matter. By spring the leaves will decompose and the garden bed will be ready to cultivate and plant. • Plant a few bulbs now for a colorful early spring display. Incorporate compost, aged manure or other organic matter into the planting area. Add a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer at the time of planting. In general, plant bulbs two to three times their vertical diameter deep. Follow specific planting and spacing directions on the package or tag. o Select animal-resistant bulbs to avoid squirrels digging up the bulbs and deer and rabbits eating the blooms. Daffodils, hyacinths, grape hyacinths and squills are a few to consider. Little Tommies (Crocus tommasinianus) tend to be more squirrel resistant than other crocus varieties. o Those gardening in mild climates need low chill bulbs that will thrive and flower after a mild winter. Or purchase precooled bulbs for winter planting and spring flowering.
• Allow disease- and insect-free perennials to stand for winter. This will increase their winter hardiness and your enjoyment. The dried leaves, stems and seedheads provide beauty for you to enjoy, seeds for the birds and overwintering homes for many butterflies and beneficial insects. • Plant trees, shrubs and perennials. The soil is warm and the air is cool – perfect conditions for planting and establishing trees, shrubs and perennials. And for those lucky enough to garden in warm climates, add a few winter annuals. • Continue to water the landscape as needed throughout the fall. Be sure to water evergreens and new plantings thoroughly before the ground freezes. No matter where you live or the size of your garden, get outdoors and enjoy the beauty of fall. And be sure to invest a bit of energy now to insure your landscape is ready for the season ahead.

Celebrity benefit race to "Star" during Night of NASCAR Racing at Irwindale Saturday, September 27 In addition to its regular night of exciting championship NASCAR racing, this Saturday night, Irwindale Speedway will host a very special Celebrity Stock Car Race event presented by Justice Brothers and DJ Safety. Ten well-known names from the worlds of entertainment and business are about to suit up, strap on helmets, and buckle into boisterous NASCAR-style stock cars at Irwindale Speedway, located about 25 miles East of Hollywood. Set for the evening of Saturday, September 27 and benefitting Wounded Warrior Project®, the celebrities will all be racing technicallyidentical S2, tube-framed, fiberglass-bodied stock cars, each powered by a full race 400-horsepower V-8 engine. The only difference in the cars will be a distinctive color scheme and their racing number. This special celebrity race is the featured event for a night of championship NASCAR racing on the wide, fast, progressivelybanked Irwindale oval. Scheduled to put "pedals to the metal" on Saturday, September 27th are: • Corbin Bleu - "High School Musical," "Dancing With the Stars" • Matt D'Andria GQ's "Car Collectors," CoHost "Car Cast" • Brett Davern MTV's "Awkward" • Doug Fregin - Cofounder Research in Motion, makers of BlackBerry • Mark-Paul Gosselaar - "Franklin & Bash," "Saved by the Bell" • Tricia Helfer "Battlestar Galactica," "Killer Women" • Nathan Kress "iCarly," "Into the Storm" • Mark Kriski KTLA 5 Meteorologist • Lorenzo Lamas New season: "Celebrity Apprentice", "Falcon Crest", "The Bold and The Beautiful" • Erik Valdez "Graceland," "General Hospital" • MMA Fighter and former Ultimate Fighting Champion, Tito Ortiz will be honored as the event's Grand Marshal & Official Starter
"We're very pleased to have such an all-star 'cast' for this race," said track President /CEO Jim Cohan. "We truly appreciate all the personal commitments that our celebrities have made to make this a great event for Wounded Warrior Project®. There are no stand-ins or stunt doubles for this one. Each of these celebrities has put in many hours of training and practice on the track here at Irwindale," he went on. "They all learned that controlling a fast stock car on a fast race course like Irwindale is one complex job ... You might say that they've all learned their 'lines' well!" The special celebrity charity event will be part of a full night of NASCAR Home Track racing that's all coming down to the last few miles of competition for championship honors in the 2014 racing season at the Speedway. The Universal Studios Hollywood Bandoleros again will run their own version of "Twin" races at Irwindale with Friday and Saturdaynight events on the track's inner third-mile oval. To say that Ryan Vargas has dominated the series might be a bit of an understatement. The young man from La Mirada has won every "Bando" race run so far at Irwindale this year for a perfect 400 score ... 8 for 8 races. In half of those races Vargas was followed to the line by McKenzie Eshleman, from Twin Peaks, her consistent finishes paying off nicely putting her in second place in the points only 30 down to Vargas at 370. And ... Allison Gay from Lakeside comes into this weekend's twin contests only 16 points (354) behind Eshleman. The points chase in the Seidner's Collision Centers Mini-Stocks could not be closer between the top two in the postings. After six races and with only two to go, second-generation driver, Garrett Green from Long Beach, and Dusty Morgan, from Covina, are all locked up at 270 points each ... and Anaheim's Robert Harryman is only 4 points behind them! As noted this one will be the division's second-tolast event on the 2014 calendar, and as if things weren't
tight enough, the final round (as in all Irwindale championship divisions) will be for double points! Winning five of the seven INEX Legend Car series races run thus far in 2014 (and finishing second in the two others), it's been a very good year at Irwindale for Alta Loma's own Brent Scheidmantle. His 346 points tally looms large at 52 points over Lakeside driver Darren Amidon's 294. On September 13, Amidon had a bad race only picking up a paltry 26 points (to Scheidemantle's 50 for the win). And the driver of the number 33 Legend Car will have to watch his back while he's looking ahead, with Aaron Wells (Studio City) currently third in points only four points behind him at 290. The Irwindale Race Trucks have not been seen at their namesake track since July 5 and all of the drivers in that division all have had "more than enough" time off. Ryan Partridge will bring the division to the line on Saturday night with a record of six wins (in seven races) and the points lead at 328. However, the Irwindale racing points system was designed to reward good finishes and Claremont's young Christian McGhee, who had a bunch of top finishes this season, is not all that far behind (only 16 points out at 312). In third, and only a few clicks of the counter back, Lacie Price from Bellflower has 284 points. There've been 16 races so far in the Irwindale's NASCAR national points division. 32 drivers, living in 28 different California cities ranging from the mountains to the seas, have competed in almost 500 laps of hard racing on the progressivelybanked Irwindale oval. Among those 32, only 6 drivers have stood on the top rung of the podium of the Lucas Oil Late Models. The points are close, 64 separate Rancho Cucamonga's Ryan Partridge in first place from Highland's Toni McCray (762 to 698). All of the night's celebrity drivers will all be on hand during the track's regular free 5:30pm On-Track Autograph Session to meet the fans.

as well. We had a very fun and productive day despite the rain shower in the morning. There will certainly be two very quick and promising young drivers heading to England to represent the USA!" "We have a wealth of information to sift through and analyze," added Shaw. "I want to thank all of the judges who gave up their time to participate and pass along some of their knowledge to the next generation, plus Allen Berg, everyone at Auto Club Speedway, Chris Pantani of Cooper Tires, and Jim Leo for making such a memorable day possible." Past Team USA Scholarship have included Jimmy Vasser (1990), Bryan Herta (1991), Buddy Rice (1997), Andy Lally (1999), A.J. Allmendinger (2001), Charlie Kimball (2003), J.R. Hildebrand (2005), Dane Cameron (2006), Josef Newgarden and Conor Daly (2008), Spencer Pigot (2010/2011) and Tristan Nunez and Matthew Brabham (2012). Two winners will ultimately be selected to represent the Team USA Scholarship in the traditional Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch and the Walter Hayes Trophy at Silverstone, England, in October and November. Both winners will drive Ray F1600 cars prepared by Cliff Dempsey Racing, which guided Newgarden to victory in the 2008 Formula Ford Festival and enabled both Daly and current Porsche Junior driver Connor De Phillippi to win the Walter Hayes Trophy in 2008 and 2009, respectively. The announcement will be made later this month.

New law improves safety by giving bicyclists more space on the road
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is alerting drivers about a new law that requires them to give bicyclists, traveling in the same direction, three feet of clearance when passing. The Three Feet for Safety Act takes effect September 16, 2014. According to the new law (AB1371, Bradford), signed by Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. on September 23, 2013, if traffic or roadway conditions prevent motorists from giving cyclists three feet of space, drivers must “slow to a speed that is reasonable and prudent” and only pass when a cyclist will not be in danger. Violations are punishable by a $35 fine. Motorists who collide with cyclists and injure them while violating the Three Feet for Safety Act can be subject to a $220 fine. Under the previous law, a vehicle was simply required to pass to the left at a “safe distance.” Each year in California, more than 100 people are killed and hundreds of thousands more are injured in bicycle collisions. Some bicycle related crashes are connected to the bicyclist’s behavior, while others are due to the motorist’s lack of attention. Bicycle riders on public

roads have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists, and are subject to the same rules and regulations. Refer to the California Driver Handbook to become familiar with these rules. Motorists must look carefully for bicyclists before turning left or right, merging into bicycle lanes, and opening doors next to moving traffic. Respect the right-of-way of bicyclists because they are entitled to share the road with you. California is among 24 states that require motorists to give bicyclists three feet of clearance while passing, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. For more information about safely sharing the road, check out these helpful DMV resources:

Brown Jr. today signed half a dozen bills to strengthen California’s best-in-the-nation electric vehicle market. The Governor signed the following bills today: • AB 1721 by Assemblymember Eric F.

Association of Governments and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and directs them to work with the California Department of Transportation to develop appropriate performance measures. • AB 2565 by Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance): Requires commercial and residential property owners to approve installation of an electric vehicle charging station by renters, so long as the station meets requirements. • SB 1275 by Senator Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles): Creates the Charge Ahead California Initiative, which provides incentives to increase the availability of zero emission vehicles in low-income communities. • SB 1298 by Senator Ed Hernandez (D-West Covina): Makes the pilot projects for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Trans-
portation Authority’s operation of HOT lanes on State Highway Routes 10 and 110 permanent. This action builds on the state’s efforts to help California's electric vehicle market grow, including legislation Governor Brown signed last year and the executive order he issued in 2012 to establish a target of 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles on the road in California by 2025 and a number of other long-term goals. California accounts for 40 percent of the nation’s plug-in electric vehicle sales and earlier this month, surpassed 100,000 plug-in electric vehicles sold. National Drive Electric Week is a nationwide celebration of all-electric and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles and includes more than a dozen events across California between September 15th and 21st.

NSVRC teams up with NFL to address sexual violence The National Sexual Violence Resource Center announces a multi-year partnership with the National Football League to address the far-reaching impacts of sexual assault and domestic violence. The NFL has pledged financial and in-kind support to the NSVRC for distribution to support state and local sexual assault hotlines. The NFL is also pledging support to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. "We applaud the NFL for taking sexual assault and domestic violence seriously. We look forward to partnering with them and think it is a great model for influential organizations to support the work of sexual assault victim advocacy programs at state and local levels to ensure safety for survivors," NSVRC Director Karen Baker said. As part of the partnership, the NSVRC will contribute resources that will be distributed to all NFL teams. The collaboration also will create ongoing opportunities
to support people affected by sexual assault. In August, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell publicly announced the league's new policies regarding sexual assault and domestic violence. "We clearly must do a better job of addressing [domestic violence and sexual assault] in the NFL. And we will," Goodell said. "By partnering with experts in the field of sexual assault and domestic violence, the NFL could become leaders in changing the pro sports culture by promoting equality and relationships that exemplify respect and consent," said Delilah Rumburg, CEO of NSVRC. Sexual Assault Awareness Month, hosts national events, and works with experts across the U.S. to identify, develop and disseminate information on all aspects of sexual violence prevention and intervention.

Admirals Elite baseball club win championship in premier month In only their first month of competition, the Admirals Elite baseball club has already won a championship. On a warm, sunny Sunday at The Yard in Fullerton, the newly formed, District 17-based Admirals used offense more than anything else to come from behind twice in sweeping opponents to win the championship, along with the rings that went with it. Pasadena's Germaine Harvey made his first hit as an Admiral one to remember as his mammoth home run keyed an offensive explosion as the Admirals rallied to defeat Team Integrity, 16-9. Ben Staub, Jackson Stuart, Justin Hindi, Michael Gruppie and Julian Eskridge all knocked in two runs to back the pitching of Hindi, Harvey and Eskridge. The Admirals had 18 hits. To reach the title game, the Admirals also had to rally. Defensive lapses in the first helped

rals.
The Admirals got off to a strong start in the tournament by defeating the Halos, 12-2, on Saturday. Gruppie pitched three strong innings, allowing only one run and two hits while striking out six. The right-hander had a key two-run double and was backed by a two-hit contribution from fellow Arcadia native Eskridge, while East
Altadena's Sam Gutierrez and Colin Noble both had booming two-run doubles for the Admirals. The Elite Admirals, coached by Barry Bacon, were founded very recently and have players from several California District 17 Little Leagues on the roster, including East Altadena, Arcadia American, Pasadena Central and Pasadena American.

An Alberta, Canada native, Sutter is expected to be joined by Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Miller, broadcasters Nick Nickson, Daryl Evans, Jim Fox and other members of the Kings’ family. “This is going to be a tremendous day for racing here at Santa Anita,” said Tom Ludt, Santa Anita Park President. “We are honored to be able to host Coach Sutter and everyone involved with this incredible group of Stanley Cup Champions and we’re looking forward to having them enjoy a great day of racing. “Additionally, the Stanley Cup itself will be on display in the Winner’s Circle from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., which is a great opportunity for us to showcase the Cup here and to share it with a national television audience.” The Kings, who won

NVISION Youth Soccer Tournament held for student athletes More than 400 youth from over 60 schools descended upon the Woodcraft Rangers NVISION soccer tournament this past weekend at Gage Middle School in Huntington Park, CA. With local temperatures finally cooling off, the competition heated up as student athletes from their after school programs around the Los Angeles area came to take part in the agency wide soccer tournament. The tournament kicked off this year’s NVISION sporting events. Many youth are not able to participate in soccer or sport leagues and Woodcraft Rangers’ NVISION after school programs give them the opportunity to explore their talents, play, and develop their skills at no cost. With a huge number of youth participants in one location there was plenty of excitement and close match ups throughout the day. A Woodcraft Rangers youth said “We practice every day after school. I have made new friends here and we team up, practice and play against oth-
er schools in tournaments like this. I learn how to work as a team and not be mad if we win or lose.” Sponsors like the LA84 Foundation, make it possible for Woodcraft Rangers’ NVISION programs to give youth opportunities to participate in soccer clubs tournaments. During their daily practice at the school sites, students also participate in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) infused activities. These activities engage students to participate in clubs that they enjoy and are able to be inspired to grow into great innovators. Woodcraft Rangers CEO Chris Johnson added, “Nothings better than to watch kids learning while they are having fun. These competitions give the youth to showcase their skills and talents they have attained in our programs.” Woodcraft Rangers continues to serve the greater Los Angeles community engaging and inspiring young people to become true lifelong learners.

After serving as Head of School at Mayfield Senior School for 13 years, Rita McBride announced to the Mayfield community last winter that she will complete her tenure at the school on June 30th, 2015. As the longest standing Head of School at Mayfield Senior School, Mrs. McBride is also a native Pasadenian with over 40 years as an educational leader. She has served as a teacher and administrator at boarding and day schools on both coasts with the last twenty years of her career specifically focused on serving young women. Prior to her tenure at Mayfield, her years in education include serving at The Millbrook School in Millbrook, NY, Convent of the Sacred Heart School in Greenwich, CT and the Westridge School for Girls in Pasadena. During her impressive tenure at Mayfield, Mrs. McBride nurtured the school's motto of “Actions Not Words” as well as fostering academic excellence, technological advancement, tradition and progress. Specific projects under Mrs. McBride's tenure include the transformation of the former convent wing of Strub Hall into a 21st century learning environment. Six new technology equipped classrooms were added as well as a new 5,000 squarefoot integrated library and technology center. In addition, a stunning patio, Cornelia's Courtyard, named for foundress Cornelia Connelly, was constructed. In keeping with the theme of honoring the 150-year heritage of the Society of Holy Child Jesus, all of the new classrooms are named in honor of Holy Child Sisters who were critical to the success of Mayfield
Senior School. In addition, a new state-of-the-art library, named after current faculty member, Sr. Barbara Mullen, is a part of the newly remodeled South Wing of Strub Hall. The final project in this phase of the master plan was completed just in time to launch the 2014-15 school year. The newly renovated, Hayden Building provides the community with a beautifully appointed 3,500 squarefoot student-centered facility that boasts a bright gathering area, full-service kitchen and state of the art conference and event rooms. Mrs. McBride also supported an emphasis on educational experiences beyond the campus as an outgrowth of the school's mission and philosophy. These experiences include ongoing solar research project, summer internships at Caltech labs, and a biennial biology-based trip to Costa Rica. In addition the school participates in student exchange programs with other Holy Child schools on the East Coast and Ireland and community service opportunities in Cambodia and a sister school in lower Manhattan. In keeping with the school's strong commitment to the arts, Mrs. McBride worked with the arts faculty to launch an arts immersion program in Italy that provided a hands-on experience in the arts for Mayfield students by meeting artists, engaging with student artists and performing in a variety of performance venues including the St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Creating, growing and sustaining the Conservatory of the Arts programs through a faculty of talented working artists has also been an ongoing part of Mrs. McBride's
contributions to the school. In keeping with the school's mission that promotes arts education as an integral part of the curriculum, the school has expanded and refined its offerings and promoted the use of technology within its classically based program. With the goal of creating an extraordinary experience for athletes as well as artists, Mrs. McBride earmarked the Mayfield athletics program for growth placing an emphasis on teamwork and character building as well as competitive play. In 2013, the school received the Jim Staunton award for Champions of Character from the California Interscholastic Federation. During her tenure, the gymnasium was expanded to include a dance studio, meeting rooms and strength training facility. Through Mrs. McBride’s continuous dedication to students, their families and the community, she nurtured the school's mission and remained committed to Mayfield's motto of “Actions Not Words.” Mrs. McBride said, “I have been blessed throughout my career to work with talented colleagues and remarkable students, and my time at Mayfield has been among the most memorable in my life. I am looking forward to pursuing new adventures professionally and personally. I plan to continue to pursue opportunities to use my talents and interests in service to others. I also am looking forward to having more time travel and to take a more active role in the lives of my granddaughters. The new Head of School is coming to Mayfield during an exciting time in the school’s history, and I’m confident, as I pass the torch to that person, they will accomplish great things.”

Wells, Sanchez and Pickens Highlight MPYD Leadership Week
Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez, Pasadena Fire Chief Calvin Wells and gang intervention expert Ricky Pickens spoke on the theme of leadership during three special sessions of “Lunch With the Future,” an on-campus motivational speaker series sponsored by Mentoring & Partnership for Youth Development (MPYD), the male student support group at John Muir High School. “The young men in our organization get to dialogue with achievers from all walks of life through Lunch With the Future. Chief Wells, Mr. Pickens and Chief Sanchez are well known in Pasadena for their commitment to youth and each man shared unique insights during our weeklong exploration of leadership,” stated Cameron Turner, MPYD’s Lunch
With the Future coordinator. Drawing on events from his 36 years as a firefighter and his experiences as a youth baseball coach, Fire Chief Wells described leadership qualities including integrity, attitude of service and accountability. “I don’t take personal credit for the organization’s successes, but I hold myself accountable for our mistakes. As a leader, the buck stops with me,” Wells told MPYD members. When Police Chief Sanchez asked them to describe a leader that they would follow, MPYD students responded by citing traits such as expertise, honesty, trustworthiness and the ability to listen to your team. Touching upon the brutal domestic violence incident involving sanctioned
Baltimore Ravens star Ray Rice, Sanchez said that men demonstrate leadership by responding calmly to heated circumstances and by treating women with respect. "I wonder how you treat women. If you're respectful to them or if you comment under your breath about what they wear or how they conduct themselves. Men tend to do those kinds of things. (But if you do that) you're eroding, you're wearing away your own character," Sanchez told the MPYD students. Ricky Pickens, Director of Prevention and Intervention Services at the Flintridge Center, explained how he grew up among several active gang members, but still avoided the criminal Pickens urged the MPYD youth, "Be your own self.

LACOE announces top sixteen teachers in L.A. The Los Angeles County Office of Education announced on Friday the 16 County Teachers of the Year, who represent the best among the 75,000 K-12 educators of our county. The top were presented by LACOE Superintendent Arturo Delgado on Sept. 19 at the Hilton Universal City as outstanding educators who have served with praiseworthy distinction. Judged as the county’s top public school teachers for this academic year, they will serve as standard-bearers for the teaching profession countywide. They were selected by judging panels from a contestant field of 77 district-level teachers of the year. The top 16 are comprised of 11 women and five men. They rep-
resent the profession’s elite from a total pool of 75,000 teachers countywide. The competition was organized by the Los Angeles County Office of Education and presented in partnership with California Credit Union and other sponsors. The teachers received $1,000 honorariums. The county winners automatically advance, with other county titlists from around the state, to the California Teachers of the Year competition this fall. The state is scheduled to announce its five (5) co-winners in November. But only one (1) of those state co-winners will be chosen to represent California in the National Teacher of the Year contest next spring. The L.A. County competition called for essays, les-
son plans, resumes, letters of reference and interviews. At all levels, TOY contests are designed to focus public attention on teaching excellence, and to honor educators who have demonstrated exemplary dedication, compelling classroom practices, positive accomplishments and professional commitment. The sixteen are: -Edward Meyer, Baldwin Park Unified School District -Kimberly Baljet, Castaic Union School District -Debbie Plumley, Claremont Unified School District -Julie Romero, Downey Unified School District -Mercedes Michael, Hacienda La Puente Unified School District -William Garrett, Las Virgenes Unified School District

Sheriff''s Deputies sentenced to prison
Continued from page 1
the sentences after a federal jury determined that the defendants, including two lieutenants, attempted to influence witnesses, threatened an FBI agent with arrest and concealed an FBI informant who should have been turned over to federal authorities. All six of the defendants were convicted of participating in a broad conspiracy to obstruct justice, a plot that began in the summer of 2011 after they learned that a jail inmate was an FBI informant and was acting as a cooperator in a federal investigation into corruption and civil rights violations at the jail. “Blind obedience to a corrupt culture has serious consequences,” Judge Anderson told the defendants before ordering each of them to begin prison sentences in the coming months. Acting United States Attorney Stephanie Yonekura stated: “In their corrupt attempt to shield the Sheriff’s Department from scrutiny, these deputies brought scandal and shame to themselves and their department. These deputies decided to impede a federal investigation, and in doing so they threw away their careers and their freedom. These law enforcement officers have now been held accountable for their unlawful actions.” The defendants who were sentenced today are: - Gregory Thompson, 54, a now-retired lieutenant who oversaw LASD’s Operation Safe Jails Program, who was ordered to serve 37 months in prison and to pay a $7,500 fine; - Lieutenant Stephen Leavins, 52, who was assigned to the LASD’s Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau, who received a 41-month prison sentence; - Gerard Smith, 42, a deputy who was assigned to
the Operation Safe Jails Program, who was ordered to serve 21 months in prison; - Mickey Manzo, 34, a deputy who was assigned to the Operation Safe Jails Program, who received a 24-month sentence; - Scott Craig, 50, a sergeant who was assigned to the Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau, who was sentenced to 33 months; and - Maricela Long, 46, a sergeant who assigned to the Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau, who received a sentence of two years in federal prison. Following the completion of their prison sentences, each defendant will serve one year on supervised release. “Interference with a federal investigation cannot be tolerated,” said Bill Lewis, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. “The sentences imposed today allow us to move forward toward an environment of mutual trust and the common goal of delivering justice to victims of crime. I look forward to continued collaboration with our trusted partners at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.” All six were found guilty on July 1 after a jury heard evidence about how the defendants learned that an inmate received a cellular phone from a deputy sheriff who took a bribe and that the inmate was part of a federal civil rights and corruption investigation. The deputies took affirmative steps to hide the cooperator from the FBI and the United States Marshals Service, which were attempting to bring the inmate into federal custody pursuant to an order issued by a federal judge. As part of the conspiracy, records were altered to make it appear as if the cooperator had been released, but he was re-booked under
different names. The deputies also engaged in witness tampering by attempting to influence witnesses to not cooperate with the federal grand jury investigation, including the informant and the sheriff’s deputy who had taken a bribe to smuggle the cell phone into the jail. Over the course of several weeks, the defendants sought an order from a Los Angeles Superior Court judge that would have compelled the FBI to turn over information about its investigation to LASD. After the judge refused to issue such an order, based on a lack of jurisdiction, Craig and Long confronted an FBI special agent at her residence in an attempt to intimidate her into providing details about the investigation and to try to deter the FBI from conducting the federal investigation. The sergeants falsely told the special agent, and later her supervisor, that they were obtaining a warrant for her arrest. Speaking of the confrontation at the special agent’s home, Judge Anderson said it was one of the most striking incidents related to the obstruction conspiracy, particularly because it was videotaped. “They did this to scare and intimidate the FBI…and they intended to obstruct justice,” the judge said. In addition to the conspiracy count, all six deputies were convicted of obstruction of justice offenses. Craig and Long were also found guilty of making false statements to the FBI agent and to her supervisor about seeking a warrant for her arrest. Thompson, Craig and Leavins are no longer with the Sheriff’s Department. Smith is on approved leave. Manzo and Long, according to the Sheriff’s Department, were relieved of duty without pay in December 2013.

her phone number. Unsuccessful at retrieving her information, Amaya left the store. Amaya returned hours later while the victim was getting ready to close the store, the prosecutor said. As the victim attempted to lock the doors, Amaya forced his way inside the store.
The defendant then barricaded the store entrance, dragged the victim by her hair to the back of the store and repeatedly sexually assaulted her, the prosecutor said. After the assault, the defendant left the minimart and the victim called law enforcement. With the help of tips
from the community, authorities were able to identify Amaya as the assailant and he was arrested a week later. At the trial, surveillance video and audio, as well as DNA evidence linked the defendant to the crime. The case was investigated by the El Monte Police Department.

(b) The City Council independently finds, in connection with Ordinance No. 2014-03, that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previously certified EIR. The regulations on use types, development standards and density contained in the proposed ordinance, as well as the development parameters for the PD-12 Zone are the same as those analyzed in the 2008 EIR.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $260,611.09 (Estimated).

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable
to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.
