Nurses’ Union calls for stepped up action in U.S. and Africa In the wake of the first confirmed case of a patient in the U.S. who has been infected with the Ebola virus, the largest U.S. organization of nurses warned that U.S. hospitals are far from ready for the Ebola outbreak, are sorely lacking in other disaster planning, and everyone needs to do more to stop Ebola. Several weeks ago, National Nurses United began surveying registered nurses across the U.S. about emergency preparedness. In preliminary results from more than 400 RNs in more than two dozen states released today: • More than 60

A friend asked me the other day if I remembered the poem entitled “Sunday's Child.” I could only remember parts of it. It really bugs me and causes me to stew when I can't remember something. So, I turned to my less than terrific technical skills to jog my memory. I Googled. Apparently the rhyme was first recorded in the early 1800s in A.E. Brady's Traditions of Devonshire. Rhymes of this type were used for a

kind of fortune telling and character prediction. Here 'tis: "Monday's child is fair of face, Tuesday's child is full of grace, Wednesday's child is full of woe, Thursday's child has far to go, Friday's child is loving and giving, Saturday's child works hard for a living, But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day Is bonny and blithe and good and gay." Care to guess the day on which I was born? Yep, it was Saturday and that fortune-telling rhymer was right. I believe it must have

been very late on a Saturday night though because, according to my older relatives, I had some Sunday genes too. I'm told that I came into this world as a round little nine-pound bundle of joy. All one had to do was cuddle and feed me and my response was to giggle and wiggle, then sleep. What can I say? Those who know me probably would say that pretty much describes me today. I'm still a worker. I'm still on the round side. I still like to be cuddled. I still giggle and wiggle and I guess we might, at this stage, add juggle. Hey, it could be worse. I could have been born on Wednesday.

Monrovia Fire to now offer $100 gift cards to victims displaced by emergency On October 1, the Monrovia Fire Department initiated a new program in collaboration with the Monrovia Firefighters Association and the State of California Fire Foundation to offer $100 gift cards to victims displaced by fire or other emergency. The new program, SAVE, Supplying Aid to Victims of Emergency (SAVE), allows the Monrovia Fire Department to offer emergency financial assistance to fire and natural disaster victims while on the scene of an emergency. Working with the California Fire Foundation, Monrovia is one of only three fire agencies in Southern California to offer this kind of assistance. The cities of Long Beach and Anaheim were also chosen. Monrovia’s on-duty

Division Chief now carries a packet and is authorized to activate the gift cards, 24-hours a day, thereby providing temporary assistance for basic necessities such as food, clothing, medicine or overnight housing at a local hotel four Monrovians. Monrovia Firefighters Association (MFA) was a driving force behind this program. “This is truly a great endeavor to further aid and comfort our residents that are impacted by disasters,” said Fire Association President Brad Dover. “As firefighters, we are uniquely positioned to offer a helping hand of support in the immediate aftermath of a catastrophic loss. Firefighters want to do more than just put out firesWe want to serve even after the fire is out.” According to the

California Fire Foundation “Firefighters working with CFF on the SAVE program provide assurance that those impacted by disaster will receive instant, direct relief, before, during and after the alarm.” “I’m certainly proud of this new program and although we hope no one in our community needs to use the SAVE program, we are certainly grateful for the opportunity to provide financial support for those immediate needs following an emergency,” said Fire Chief Chris Donovan. The California Fire Foundation, a not for profit 501(c)(3). Funding for the SAVE program comes from both private and corporate donations. The largest corporation to specifically support the SAVE program is Chevron, Inc.

Former UCLA student leader pleads no contest to charges of sexual battery City Attorney Mike Feuer today announced today that former UCLA student government commissioner Omar Arce, 22, has pled no-contest to seven counts of sexual battery, four counts of simple battery and one count of false imprisonment Sentencing was continued for one year, but the court remanded Arce

into custody immediately to serve an anticipated 180-day sentence. He is also required to stay away from the UCLA campus (from which he was already expelled), abide by protective orders covering the victims, abstain from alcohol consumption, stay away from places where alcohol is the chief item for sale, and pay any restitution. If he fails to comply, he will

be sentenced to one year in jail and have to register as a sex offender. The charges stemmed from allegations from a female student earlier this year. Deputy City Attorney Spencer Hart prosecuted the case. A Court ordered restitution hearing is scheduled for December 23, 2014.

Ask Christina By NerdWallet Health health finance expert Christina LaMontagne

COBRA is expensive! What are my other options? Question: I recently lost my job when my company decided to downsize. I was shocked to receive information on continuing my health insurance through COBRA. In order to keep the same coverage I have under my employer, I’ll have to pay more than three times as much in premiums. Why is it so expensive? Are there other options available outside of COBRA? Answer: Losing your job is difficult enough without having to worry about high insurance premiums. But, with COBRA, that’s usually what you’ll get. COBRA allows workers to continue the healthcare coverage they previously had under an employer. This healthcare provision was passed in 1986 under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. Though the idea of allowing individuals to continue coverage under a group plan they would otherwise not qualify for is nice, it isn’t always cost effective. COBRA is so expen-

sive because you are paying the entire health insurance premium. When you were working, your employer was likely covering some (if not all) of the cost. Now, you are responsible for the whole premium. In addition, COBRA can charge an extra 2% in administrative costs. Fortunately, there are several other health insurance options. One alternative to COBRA is finding a health insurance provider through the Marketplace established under the Affordable Care Act. Healthcare.gov can direct you to your state’s Marketplace, or if they don’t have one, allow you to compare policies on the national site. You can also compare policies and providers directly online through a health insurance tool or even by speaking with an agent. One limitation to purchasing an Affordable Care Act plan is that, under most circumstances, you can only do so during the annual open enrollment period (this year, open enrollment occurs from November 15, 2014–February 15, 2015). However, your job loss could qualify you for enrollment outside of the annual open enrollment period in something called a “Special Enrollment Period”. You’ll have to apply to see if you qualify. Finally, if you have considerably limited assets and income, you could qualify for assistance through your state’s Medicaid office. COBRA is only one of many options for health coverage after a job loss. Each policy you look at will have different features along with varying costs. To avoid being stuck with unexpected medical debt, make sure you always read the fine print and look at details such as doctors and hospitals covered in the network, deductibles, exclusions and copayments.

Countering Chemobrain Cognitive complaints are common both during and after cancer treatments. Many cancer patients exposed to a variety of cancer therapies complain of decreased cognitive efficiency that has often been attributed to chemotherapy. This syndrome of cognitive complaints and difficulties is colloquially named ‘chemo brain.’ For a subset of cancer survivors, these complaints are persistent and result in difficulties that impair their everyday activities. For some, the difficulties are disabling. In this lecture, Dr. Ercoli presents an update on potential causes of ‘chemo brain’ and the latest research on strategies and interventions to counter cancer-related cognitive dysfunction. Linda M. Ercoli, Ph.D., is an Associate Clinical Professor and the Director of Geriatric Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the UCLA Semel Institute. She is a clinical psychologist with expertise

Plastic bag ban hurts financially depressed communities, Antonovich says Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich sharply criticized the Governor’s signing of a law banning plastic bags and imposing a $0.10 fee on all paper bags that the grocery stores will collect. “The $0.10 per bag fee will force lower income residents in im-

poverished communities around the state to pay for paper bags, with little indication of how the money will be spent,” said Antonovich. “This law only further hurts the California economy by jeopardizing thousands of manufacturing jobs and forcing con-

sumers to pay additional fees to grocery stores,” he added. The Progressive Bag Alliance has vowed to collect the necessary signatures to place this issue on the ballot and let the voters decide if the State should continue with such a flawed economic proposal.

The planning commission Once again the Sierra Madre Planning Commission met in regular session. This time, they spent more than three hours on the process of amending the work of the General Plan committee, which had already spent four years to produce the update of the General Plan. The first question is why and what for? Is it in order to do this so that the Development Director and the City Attorney can keep their job, and what is the cost? The Commission offered more and more regulations into the Plan update, which correctly belong into the Codes and Ordinances, and have little or nothing to do with the Plan update. The longer the meeting went, the more it deteriorated to where they wanted to lower the over the 4,000 sq.

all these conservation measures according to the latest code. Please sir, take the gun out of your hand. All of the discussion was designed to put more obstacles and costs for the construction of any new building. Not once did the Chairman, Development Director or City Attorney speak up or say that this is not within the purview of this Commission. When will the Planning Commission adopt a positive attitude and allow new homes to be built at the Carter tract? The City settled with the litigation of the former owners by agreeing to allow homes to be built. Do they really want the present owner to bring forward a lawsuit in order to obtain approval? We would hope that cooler heads will prevail. Sierra Madre Watchman

"We support our veterans...Oh, really?" Dear Editor: Everyone "loves" Veterans--or at least everyone says they do! You hear this phrase all the time, especially from our politicians. If our government officials really do love our Veterans, then why is our government allowing the Mexican Government to continue to commit ugly atrocities against a U.S. combat Veteran--one who suffers from PTSD--Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome? U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi illegally entered Mexico by error as he traveled down an incompetently-signed Mexi-

can Road. As a result, for over 180 days, he has been subjected to brutal, inhumane treatment by Mexican prison guards in a squalid Mexican jail. He has been beaten, handcuffed in a spread-eagled position to his bed, threatened with rape, and God knows what other ugliness he has suffered and will continue to suffer. Question? What has been done on his behalf by our President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry, Senators Boxer and Feinstein; Congresswomen Napolitano and Chu? Absolutely NOTHING! Their silence is "deaf-

ening." Yet, they repeatedly mouth this phrase, "We support our nation's veterans." They increase their chant shortly before election time comes around, and especially at Memorial Day or Veterans' Day Ceremonies… So, please, the next time you hear a politician mouth the hackneyed phrase, "I support our Veterans" just ask yourself, "Do they really mean it?...or is it just another politician pandering for your vote?"

U.S. Post Office in Arcadia Dear Editor: The U. S. Post Office in Arcadia recently relocated the letter drop boxes on Santa Clara Street to Curb Side Boxes. This requires

that the driver stop his car at the curb; exit the car in traffic lanes, walk around the car and drop the letter in the box, and then return the same way.

If this is an example of the intelligence of the leadership of the U. S. Postal Service it is no wonder that they operate in the red. Jim Helms

Opinion

Hagman Blasts potential San Gabriel mountains land grab Assemblyman Curt Hagman (R-Chino Hills) today joined the growing chorus of opposition to President Obama's planned designation of a San Gabriel Mountains National Monument as a naked land grab that would hurt all residents in the affected area and provide no more protections that exist now. "Such a unilateral action would completely bypass Congress with the stroke of a pen, and constitute a deliberate misuse of the Antiquities Act of 1906. The land is already protected as a national forest. It would restrict the public from enjoying its own land and threaten the water rights

of millions of southern Californians in San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties," said Hagman. "This is the sort of arrogance on the part of President Obama and his followers in Congress, like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congresswoman Gloria NegreteMcLeod, who large majorities of Americans oppose. We don't want the government further restricting our rights - especially without our input and over our objections." Hagman noted that the consequences of this action could include less access to forest lands for those who can least afford the loss, pushing out U.S. Forest

Service special use permit holders, utilizing eminent domain to seize private property and taking away water rights with new federal regulations. "Southern California is suffering through a serious drought and residents rely on groundwater from the San Gabriel Mountains to give their kids a drink and wash their clothes. Obama's planned undemocratic and reckless action would put our water under the control of federal government bureaucrats and threaten the property rights of the people. This has got to stop and stop now!" exclaimed Hagman. Curt Hagman

Bernard Melekian selected as Interim Chair of Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee On Wednesday morning, the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee accepted the resignation of former Board Chair William Paparian. The Board also unanimously elected former Pasadena Police Chief and White House COPS Program Executive Director Bernard Melekian as its Interim Chair. Mr. Melekian accepted and issued the following statement: “This project is bigger than any one person. It is a memorial to those who perished, including those members of my family, those of my fellow board members, and our relatives who

survived. I and all of the members of the Committee are honored to help in this effort. The Genocide Memorial project remains on track, our fundraising is on schedule and this project will be built. “In addition, the Board had on its agenda a review of the terms and conditions of a draft contract for construction. The prospect of shortly breaking ground and the tremendous positive momentum engendered over the past week for moving forward with the project has Board Members and the community very excited. “The Board, as is pru-

dent under a new board Chair, also implemented a thorough review of the board’s financial processes to ensure that all appropriate financial protocols are being observed and are accurate. Two board members will be conducting a complete reconciliation of all transactions with the board's CPA Firm and fiscal agent, the venerable Community Foundation of the Verdugos. This review will be completed within the next two weeks. “Our ancestors deserve only the finest effort from their dependents who survived,” concluded Chief Melekian.

Historic bill to protect historic sacred sites signed by Governor After nearly two years of negotiation, legislation to protect and preserve sacred Native American landmarks was signed by Governor Brown. AB 52 would ensure that tribes have a say in development projects that affect tribal sacred places and cultural resources, by strengthening the consultation standards with tribes under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). California is struggling to

preserve the last remnants of its Native American past. Recently, thieves stole carvings from an unprotected sacred site on the Volcanic Tableland, north of Bishop, and developers have sought to place everything from dumps, to housing developments, to granite mines, near or on top of ancient sacred sites. “If we don’t do something, future generations will wonder what happened to California’s pre-Columbian

heritage,” said Gatto. “By including tribes in the decisionmaking process, we will build better relations and preserve California’s unique cultural heritage.” Tribal Chairperson Sherry Treppa, of the Habematolel Pomo Tribe of Upper Lake noted “All too often, tribes with little to no economic means to provide themselves a voice, are left out of the conversation in the decision making process on matters that impact them the most.” “This is an important step toward aligning California’s environmental laws with the values that are often espoused about respecting tribal heritage and history, not only for this generation, but for future generations of all Californians,” said Tribal Chairman Mark Macarro of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. “We deeply appreciate Assemblymember Gatto for his leadership, and the legislature's support.” Currently, tribes are not treated as coherent sovereign entities under CEQA, but instead as mere members of

the public, even if wishing to express a unified opinion about a site which has been a unique part of the tribe’s heritage for thousands of years. Efforts to reform CEQA, prevent abuse, and create uniformity have stalled, in part, because of concerns by Native Americans that a streamlined CEQA would provide lesser protections for sacred sites. Robert H. Smith, of the Pala Band of Mission Indians, explained that “The passage of AB 52 means that our cultural sites will be given the respect and consideration they deserve as part of the CEQA process. Allowing tribes to work cooperatively with agencies and developers to protect our cultural places benefits us all. We are grateful to Assemblyman Gatto for his hard work on behalf of all California tribes.” “Native peoples deserve protections for sites that are a part of their ancient heritage,” said Gatto. “Efforts to maintain them must be considered an essential activity in the preservation of our state’s historic resources.”

Bill to mandate child-abuse training for teachers signed Assemblyman Mike Gatto’s (D-Los Angeles) bill to strengthen training requirements and prevent child abuse in schools was signed into law by Governor Brown Monday. The legislation would require all school employees to be trained according to standards developed by the Department of Education in the proper identification and reporting of child abuse, so that abuse can be stopped in its tracks. Gatto’s AB 1432 addresses the lack of training on how to recognize and report child abuse in K-12 settings. The California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act requires certain professionals, known as mandated reporters, to report to law enforcement or protective services known or suspected instances of neglect, or physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. Despite these requirements, current law does not require school districts to train personnel on detecting and reporting child

abuse, nor does it inform them of their responsibilities or that failure to report is a misdemeanor punishable by jail time. Gatto’s legislation addresses this problem by requiring school employees to complete reporting training. The Assemblyman has been working closely with child advocates and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, after recent reports showed that several cases of abuse were prolonged because school personnel were unaware of their duty to report. “Crimes that occur in schools should not be treated any differently than those that occur elsewhere in our community, unless it is to treat them with even greater care and concern,” said Assemblyman Gatto. "California law needs to make sure that school administrators at all levels of education report these most serious crimes and empower our law-enforcement experts to investigate.”

Gold Line progresses in San Gabriel Valley

Irwindale sergeant convicted of sexual assault while on-duty By SHEL SEGAL

-Courtesy Photo

Earlier this week, the final crossing closure, Mountain Avenue, was fully reopened to traffic just south of Duarte Road. This followed many months of work at the crossing and the intersection with Duarte Rd, including two longterm full closures of the street. Crews were able to re-open the street ahead of schedule, with extra shifts and overtime. Over the next several weeks, the medians on Duarte Rd will be improved and then the area will be re-paved and

re-striped. The crossing and intersection work will be completed later this month, marking completion of all grade crossing improvement work for the Pasadena to Azusa project. Also this week, the canopies were placed at the Irwindale station, where work on walls and the station parking structure are fully underway. Irwindale is the last of the six stations to have its canopies. And Thursday, Arcadia Mayor John Wuo welcomed Arcadia’s

newest landmark to the Arcadia Transit Plaza. The 25-foot tall clock tower will be the focal point for the future community gathering place, and was fabricated at a special studio in Cincinnati, Ohio. The clock was designed to fit the motif of the Arcadia station, which abuts the plaza to the north. Both are designed to be reminiscent of the historic Santa Anita Racetrack, in color and characteristic art deco elements. The transit plaza will be completed early next month.

A former police sergeant with the Irwindale Police Department was convicted on Friday to sexually assaulting a Chino woman he had pulled over more than two years ago while he was on duty, according to a published report. Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office spokesman Greg Risling said David Paul Fraijo, 36, pleaded “no contest” to two felony counts stemming from the Oct. 20, 2012 attack in the area of Arrow Highway and Azusa Canyon Road. Risling said Fraijo pleaded no contest in Los Angeles Superior Court to charges of oral copulation under color of authority and sexual battery by restraint under a negotiated plea

arrangement announced at what was scheduled to be a preliminary hearing setting. “Fraijo stopped a female driver on Oct. 20, 2012, and asked to see her driver’s license,” Risling said in a written statement. “Fraijo then sexually assaulted her in a parking lot.” Risling said three other counts Fraijo was additionally charged with following his March 10 arrest are expected to be dismissed when he returns to court on January 14 for sentencing before Judge Ray Jurado. The charges to be dismissed are kidnapping to commit another crime, forcible oral copulation and assault under color of authority, Risling said, adding that under the plea

agreement, Fraijo faces a maximum sentence of nine years in state prison. Risling added Fraijo could have received a life sentence if convicted on the five counts he was initially charged with. In addition, the woman assaulted by the sergeant originally filed a $20 million lawsuit against the city of Irwindale. However, the suit was withdrawn in January when the city paid around $400,000 to the woman, according to the report. And Irwindale Chief Anthony Miranda said Fraijo was fired from the department in February. (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@ beaconmedianews.com.

West Nile virus Continued from page 1

virus-positive mosquitoes have been found so far this summer. The other two cities are Walnut and La Verne. The activity of West Nile virus has been relatively low in San Gabriel Valley this year compared to the rest of California, but the state so far has seen (375) human cases. An epidemic of infections with WNV is occurring in Orange County where officials have reported (159) human cases resulting in four deaths as of September 29. Vector control agencies use four indicators to monitor West Nile virus activity locally; infected mosquitoes, dead birds infected with the virus, sentinel chickens with antibodies to the virus, and human cases. As of October 1, the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District (SGVMVCD) has recorded three positive mosquito samples, seven positive dead birds, and three positive sentinel chickens. Six confirmed human cases have been reported within the District. Officials in San Gabriel Valley are encouraging residents to stay well informed about West Nile virus and what they can do to reduce mosquito populations and prevent mosquito bites. "West Nile virus is endemic in LA County which means it is here to stay," says Jason Farned, Public information

Officer for SGVMVCD. "Some years present a higher risk than others but the threat is always there. The situation in Orange County is a great example as to why everyone should stay well-informed; you just never know when your area will experience an epidemic." Kenn Fujioka, District Manager warns, "West Nile virus is present throughout the District and in previous years humans definitely have been infected in September and October. No one can ever assume there is no risk." The best precaution against WNV is to prevent mosquito bites. Residents should use repellants according to their labels, wear long sleeves and long pants if outdoors between dusk and dawn, and ensure windows and doors are properly screened to keep mosquitoes outside. Warmer temperatures provide ideal conditions for WNV amplification and transmission. Mosquitoes pick up WNV from infected birds and spread it to other birds and humans when they bite again. It is critical that residents survey their property and remove all standing water to prevent mosquito reproduction. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water such as neglected pools, buckets, miscellaneous

containers, puddles, and ponds. Eggs can hatch and mature to biting adults in 5-7 days. Since its introduction in 2003 through 2013, there have been 4,004 reported infections and 145 deaths from WNV in California. West Nile virus presents a risk to public health every year. Throughout the summer, basic protective measures should be followed: *AVOID Over-watering and prevent litter, leaves and debris from entering the gutters and streets. *DRAIN: Check properties weekly and remove all sources of standing water. Report green, inoperable pools or other sources of standing water to the District. *DAWN AND DUSK: Wear effective repellents and long sleeves if outdoors when mosquitoes are present (between dawn and dusk.) *DEFEND: Ensure doors and windows are properly screened The District encourages the public to help identify WNV "hot spots" by reporting dead birds to the WNV Hotline at (877) WNV-BIRD ((877) 968-2473) or online at www.westnile. ca.gov. We also urge our residents to call the District to report any mosquito activity.

Community group to hold two I-710 meetings

Members of the group “Connecting Pasadena” are planning on holding two community meetings to discuss how to design the long fought-over Interstate 710 gap between Valley Boulevard in Alhambra and where the freeway meets up with Interstate 210 and Highway 134 in Pasadena. The two sessions will be from 9 a.m. to noon on Oct. 25 and Nov. 8 at the Maranatha High School Student Union, located at 169 South St. John Avenue in Pasadena. The group has said it is open to suggestions, but it has plans to develop the area into a boulevard, park, business or residential developments or a combination of those options, according to a published report. One of the areas in question is known as the 710 Freeway “stub,” which has remained a vacant ditch since Caltrans took ownership of the property decades ago to build the originally planned surface freeway from Alhambra to Pasadena, the report said. If the agency does not elect to build the tunnel, residents said they want to be prepared to put the 35-

acre space to good use. Connecting Pasadena member Audrey O’Kelley said the land currently is not being put to good use and that people need to start discussing what to do with it. Caltrans and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority are studying five options for the north extension: “No build,” traffic management solutions, bus, light rail and the tunnel. The draft environmental report is due to be released in February. The draft was originally scheduled for release last spring but was delayed, the report said. The freeway project has divided the region for decades. Cities like Alhambra, Monterey Park and San Gabriel support the freeway extension as a way to reduce traffic on city streets, while cities like La Cañada-Flintridge, Sierra Madre and South Pasadena have adamantly opposed the project, the report said. Many cities have set aside resources to respond to the draft document and have also spent money campaigning on both sides. The Pasadena City

to create a sand mandala in the museum auditorium over the course of five days, November 5-9, 2014. The sand mandala is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist art form that involves careful placement of colored sand in an intricate design that references the world in its divine form, a path for the mind to reach enlightenment and balance. Before creating the mandala, the monks perform a blessing ceremony with chanting and music to invoke Chenrezig, the Buddha of Compassion. During the ceremony, they use two traditional objects: a bell and a dorje (Tibetan) or vajra (Sanskrit), which is a ritual scepter. The bell is traditionally held in the left hand and symbolizes the female and wisdom, while the dorje is in the right hand and symbolizes the

male and the "thunderbolt of enlightenment." These implements are common motifs throughout South and East Asian art; several examples are in the museum's collection. After the blessing ceremony, the monks begin the creation of the circular sand mandala. The multi-colored design is extremely labor-intensive, with up to four monks at a time working for days. Using a bronze funnellike instrument called achakpur and a bronze wand, the monks release a fine stream of sand by moving the wand across the grooves of the chakpur. The finished mandala is about four feet across. Once finished, a dissolution ceremony is performed and the monks sweep away the mandala and distribute the sand to those present at the ceremony.

California nurses endorse water bond - Proposition 1 Citing the importance of stabilizing the state’s water supply in an era of drought and climate change as a public health priority, the California Nurses Association announced its endorsement of Proposition 1, the Water Bond measure, on the November 4 ballot. The measure would, upon approval, enact general obligation bonds for state water supply infrastructure projects, such as public water system improvements, surface and groundwater storage, drinking water protection, water recycling and advanced water treatment technology, water supply management and conveyance, wastewater treatment, drought relief, emergency water supplies, and ecosystem and watershed protection and restoration.

“Access to a clean and adequate water supply is vital for public health,” said CNA Co-president Deborah Burger, RN. “Water is life sustaining, critical for drinking, for hygiene, for cleaning our food, clothes, and living spaces. Lack of adequate and steady supplies of water can lead to unsafe sanitation and the spread of infectious diseases and pandemics.” “With the erosion of our water supply in the current drought – and the likelihood that more droughts, directly associated with the climate crisis – this becomes a critical issue for the future of all Californians. That’s why nurses are joining with Governor Brown and many state lawmakers and organizations in supporting Proposition 1,” Burger said. CNA, the largest state

organization of nurses with 86,000 California members, said that Proposition 1 will clean up our contaminated groundwater which serves as a critical buffer against drought by providing additional water in years when there is not enough rainfall or snow. Proposition 1 provides funding for clean drinking water in communities where water is contaminated and will invest in new water storage increasing the amount of water that can be stored during wet years for the dry years sure to come, said CNA. Proposition 1 protects California’s rivers, lakes, and streams from pollution and contamination, which is also critical for public health, and provides for the restoration of our fish and wildlife resources.

Family members can ask court to seize guns from unstable loved ones By Jennifer Schlueter

After 22-year-old Elliot Rodger went on a shooting rampage this May in Isla Vista killing 6 and wounding 12 more people, officials called, again, for stricter gun control laws. California assemblywomen Nancy Skinner consequently sponsored a bill allowing guns to be seized from mentally ill individuals. The law, which was signed into effect last Tuesday, allows people to demand a court order to temporarily seize guns from family members who pose a threat to the community or themselves. In order to prevent these potentially dangerous individuals from buying firearms, they will also be added to a list. Prior to his planned

shooting, Elliot had legally acquired three guns, and his parents had repeatedly warned police of his unstable condition. California has recognized that “family members are the ones who most acutely understand when their loved ones are in a dangerous situation,” according to the executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence Josh Horwitz, and thus, has now become the first state of the country to allow them to ask for a court order seizing firearms. In other states only law enforcement officials have the right to do so. Skinner told the New York Times: “This puts California in the leadership

on efforts to stop gun violence, and it gives a very effective tool to law enforcement and families to intervene before a shooting tragedy occurs.” Opponents of the bill argue against it because it would take away the rights of the Second Amendment and is not an adequate measure to prevent mass shootings. According to the NY Times, Gun rights supporter and California assemblyman Tim Donnelly said: “Every one of us wants to prevent a mass shooting. The question is: Would this bill stop that? I don’t believe you can ever stop that with laws. I don’t believe you can legislate evil out of the hearts of men.”

White Horse Awards Continued from page 1

jockey, Anne von Rosen, at Turf Paradise this past March. The award is given annually to a person in any facet of horse racing who is judged to have performed the most heroic act on behalf of human or horse. On March 11, 2014 Jockey Anne von Rosen was pulling her horse, Panchita Bonita, into the backstretch following a 400 yd. quarter horse race. The horse suddenly collapsed, knocking von Rosen unconscious and trapping her underneath the horse with her foot caught in the stirrup. Jockey Rodolfo Arvizu was behind her when the accident occurred and immediately jumped off his mount to release her foot and prevent the horse from rolling onto her. Jockey Anne von Rosen’s life may have likely been saved by Arvizu’s quick response, but unfortunately von Rosen was left paralyzed from the waist down. The latest updates of von Rosen share that she is in good spirits and has returned to Germany to continue her recovery at home with her family. The Community Service and Tribute to Excellence Awards may be newcomers to the White Horse Awards Luncheon over the past few years, but they are equally as notable.

California only state to see progress covering uninsured children Alex Johnson, Executive Director of the Children's Defense Fund - California, released the following statement on the U.S. Census Bureau’s State Health Insurance Coverage Estimates: “Today’s health insurance numbers show more than a 6 percent drop in the number of uninsured children in California between 2012 and 2013 – which means 56,884 more children now have health coverage. Significant progress increasing the number of covered children nationwide has decreased the number of uninsured children to historic lows. These gains are mostly due to the strong coverage guarantees in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which last year provided comprehensive health and mental health coverage to more than 44 million children across the country, and more

than half of California’s children. “However, even as we celebrate progress in providing children a healthy start, CHIP faces a very real threat. If Congress doesn’t take action, there will be no new funding for CHIP starting this time next year. If that happens, millions of children could lose their health coverage, and millions more would pay more for less coverage. Since CHIP’s bipartisan

beginning in 1997, it has been a lifeline for millions of children in working families and has played a critical role in reducing the rate of uninsured children by half. CHIP remains a crucial source of coverage for millions of children, even in the post- Affordable Care Act (ACA) world. Congress must act to extend funding for CHIP this year to ensure that children’s health coverage and outcomes continue to improve.”

dining & entertainment MOVIE REVIEW Gone Girl is a heightened but, unfortunately, accurate reflection of our culture By Michael James Gonzalez It’s not surprising that this weekend’s number one movie at the box office was Gone Girl. The film stars a handsome, allAmerican male, the plot centers on a possible kidnap or even murder of a young, beautiful wife, and we are led through a maze of clues and assumptions by the media, which begins to air the police investigation 24/7. Pardon the expression, but that’s so meta. If you watched the film over the weekend and felt less like a passive viewer and more like a participant in the film, then the joke wasn’t lost on you. Consider the extraordinary amount of TV shows devoted to tabloid-crime related news stories, and you’ll realize how much our culture is obsessed with the type of narrative depicted in Gone Girl, which gives us a fly-on-thewall glimpse into the machinations of people involved in a high-profile crime and the subsequent media frenzy once the front door shuts on the news cameras outside. The film is based

on author Gillian Flynn’s bestselling novel of the same name and is directed by master craftsman David Fincher (The Social Network, Se7en). Gone Girl stars Ben Affleck as the seemingly perfect husband—who we come to find has quite a few chinks in his armor—and Rosamund Pike as the Northeastern-bred, sophisticated, equally perfect wife who disappears under circumstances that appear obvious but are anything but. We begin as Nick Dunne (Affleck) returns home to discover that a violent struggle has taken place and his wife Amy (Pike) is missing. After local police get involved, circumstantial evidence begins to point toward Nick as the prime suspect and a media circus quickly ensues. Flashback sequences begin to reveal cracks in Nick and Amy’s marriage—including money problems, a move from New York City to the suburbs of North Carthage, Missouri due to Nick’s sick mother, frequent arguments, and infidelity—as told from the point of view

of Amy’s diary. But just as Nick’s smug behavior and lies surrounding the case lead police closer to arresting him for murdering his wife, we discover that there are far more malevolent forces at work which have led to Amy’s disappearance but perhaps not her death. The 149 minute film gradually reveals the context of Nick and Amy’s complicated relationship— from their first meeting to the day she disappears—the twists and turns throughout the police investigation, and the shocking events of the third act, which even if you see coming, you won’t know what will happen next. Fincher’s distinct directing style brilliantly fleshes out the film’s motifs--psycho-pathology set against the appearance of affluence and normality, and the investigation of truth versus the exploitation of it—with his usual chiaroscuro tones and still frames, both of which make the camera invisible but remind us that this is a dirty world we’re inhabiting.

In some cases, the costumes can cause musicians unexpected challenges: “For example, when the bass player was a banana, he almost passed out from the unseasonable heat. We had to pull him off duty and give him fluids.” Along with beautiful string music, audiences attending their Halloween concert will also hear bloodcurdling screeches and screams, as part of a classical piece titled “Rosin Eating

Zombies from Outer Space,” written by renowned Temple City composer and teacher Richard Meyer. They’ll also play pieces like Saint-Saen's Danse Macabre where the skeleton "tunes up" his fiddle, Gounod's Funeral March for a Marionette, the theme used by Alfred Hitchcock and Grieg's frightening finale to the Peer Gynt Suite.

Billions of crayons are thrown away each year in the United States, and more than 200 million of those come from family-style restaurant chains. Crayon Collection pairs kid-friendly chain restaurants and other organizations with local Title I recipient schools that are in desperate need of supplies.

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.

HUD and VA team up to help 2,115 homeless veterans in California find permanent homes

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today announced $18.8 million in rental vouchers to local public housing agencies in California to help 2,115 homeless veterans find permanent supportive housing. These vouchers are provided through the HUDVeterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program which combines rental assistance from HUD with case management and clinical services provided by VA. HUD-VASH is an important part of the Obama Administration's efforts to provide critical housing and services to veterans experiencing homelessness that also includes HUD’s Continuum of Care program as well as VA’s Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF). Additionally, the core of HUD’s vision is to work with federal, state,

and local partners to end homelessness. “It is unacceptable that after their service and sacrifice, too many of our veterans find themselves living on our streets and in our shelters,” said HUD Secretary Julián Castro. “We’ve made significant progress reducing homelessness among veterans by a third in just four years, and these vouchers will continue to help communities build on these gains, providing targeted assistance to those in need to ensure that every veteran has a home.” “Welcoming the progress made with HUD and local partners under the leadership of President Obama," VA Secretary Robert McDonald added, “As long as there remains a single veteran living on our streets, there is more work to be done. HUD-VASH vouchers are a vital tool in our efforts to reduce veteran homelessness.” “Through

the HUD-VASH program, communities are making historic progress toward ending homelessness by connecting veterans who have the most intensive service needs to the foundation of a home with supportive services,” said Laura Green Zeilinger, USICH Executive Director. “The grant awards announced today add crucial resources to this effort, helping to deliver on the promise that every veteran who has served America has a home in America.” Last month, HUD, VA and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) released a new national estimate of veteran homelessness in the United States. In January of 2014, thousands of cities and counties across the country reported 49,933 homeless veterans, a decline of 33 percent (or 24,837 people) since 2010. This includes a nearly 40 percent drop in the number of unsheltered veterans sleeping on the

street. Since 2008, more than 59,000 vouchers have been awarded and over 74,000 homeless veterans have been served through the HUD-VASH program. Rental assistance and support services provided through HUD-VASH are a critical resource for local communities in ending homelessness among our nation’s veterans. HUD-VASH is a critical part of the Obama Administration’s commitment to end veteran homelessness by the end of 2015. Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness serves as a roadmap for how the federal government will work with state and local communities to confront the root causes of homelessness, especially among former servicemen and women. As evidence of that commitment, President Obama has asked for an additional $75 million for

HUD-VASH vouchers to serve veterans experiencing homelessness in his fiscal year 2015 budget request to Congress. In the HUD-VASH program, VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) assess veterans experiencing homelessness before referring them to local housing agencies for these vouchers. Decisions are based on a variety of factors, most importantly the duration of homelessness and the need for longer term, more intensive support in obtaining and maintaining permanent housing. The HUDVASH program includes both the rental assistance the voucher provides and the comprehensive case management that VAMC staff offers. Veterans participating in the HUD-VASH program rent privately owned housing and generally contribute no more than 30 percent of their income

toward rent. VA offers eligible homeless veterans clinical and supportive services through its medical centers across the U.S., Guam and Puerto Rico. HUD’s mission is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all. HUD is working to strengthen the housing market to bolster the economy and protect consumers; meet the need for quality affordable rental homes: utilize housing as a platform for improving quality of life; build inclusive and sustainable communities free from discrimination; and transform the way HUD does business. More information about HUD and its programs is available at www.hud.gov and espanol. hud.gov. You can also follow HUD on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or sign up for news alerts on HUD’s Email List.

Obama Administration's proposed water regulation Landowners, homeowners, home builders, construction companies, farmers, ranchers, fruit growers, the forestry and mining industries, and just about everyone else engaged in productive activities in the United States are in the crosshairs of the most farreaching power grab ever undertaken by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), according to a new analysis by Bonner Cohen, Ph. D., senior fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research and senior policy analyst with the Committee for a ConstructiveTomorrow. In the name of "clarifying" the federal government's regulatory authority over certain bodies of water under the Clean Water Act, the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in March unleashed a torrent of proposed regulations that would give Washington final authority over land-use decisions from coast-to-coast. The regulations cover "waters of the United States" and are commonly referred to as "WOTUS." In the analysis, "WOTUS:

The Facts About EPA's Wet Fiction," Dr. Cohen points out that the EPA contends that its regulatory onslaught is necessary to clear up "uncertainties" arising from U.S. Supreme Court decisions from 2001 and 2006. Those rulings restricted the EPA's authority and cast doubt over the legitimacy of its schemes to regulate wetlands and intermittent bodies of water. "Despite losing both cases," Dr. Cohen says, "EPA now claims that ambiguities in the rulings give it greater authority than ever before to regulate isolated and intermittent bodies of water on private land." Under the Clean Water Act, the EPA is authorized to regulate "navigable waters of the United States," such as rivers, bays, channels, etc. But under the guise of "clarifying" its power, EPA is seeking to effectively delete the word "navigable" from the statute, allowing the agency to expand its writ far beyond congressional intent. Dr. Cohen's analysis notes that staffers on the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee have rated the following six claims about

WOTUS by Obama's EPA as "NOT TRUE": • The EPA says WOTUS does not apply to ditches. (Not true.) • The EPA says WOTUS will not regulate activities on land. (Not true.) • The EPA says WOTUS will not apply to groundwater. (Not true.) • The EPA says WOTUS will not affect stock ponds. (Not true.) • The EPA says WOTUS does not require permits for normal farming activities, like moving cattle. (Not true.) • The EPA says WOTUS does not regulate puddles. (Not true.) In fact, Dr. Cohen says, Obama's EPA is granting itself the power, under certain circumstances, to regulate: • Ditches; • Activities on land including homebuilding, agriculture, ranching, and mining; • Groundwater; • Stock ponds on farms and ranches; • Traditional agricultural activities, such as moving cattle; and • Puddles.

real estate, home & garden Pacific Outdoor Living to hold benefit for LAPD

Pacific Outdoor Living is holding a charity event to benefit LAPD Foothill’s Cadet Program in Pacoima. The Designer Showcase & Outdoor Living Expo is October 25, 2014 from 9-4pm. Tour beautifully landscaped and expertly designed gardens at five homes around the Pasadena and La Cañada area. The landscape designer of each home will be on hand to answer questions. Admission for the self-guided tour is $20. Early bird specials available through October 14th for discounted ticket prices. Every dollar raised will be donated to the LAPD Cadet program.

Why team with the LAPD Cadet Program? Sergeant Roland Fogel is the Assistant Officer in charge of the Cadet Program. He tells Pacific Outdoor Living that “The Cadets learn leadership skills, work as a team and get structure. They get a sense of belonging that they may not get in their neighborhood, which helps them stay out of gangs.” LAPD Foothill Division Cadet Norma Vazquez, 20, said that before joining the program she had been going through a hard time. “I am better able to deal with life through the lessons taught by the Cadet program,

and I’ve learned how to influence those who are insecure and weak, and help turn those qualities into strengths.” Terry Morrill, Pacific Outdoor Living’s founder and general manager, recognizes the importance of giving back. “I enjoy working on projects that help the community; it’s personally satisfying to see others benefit from our contributions.” Tickets can be purchased by going in to any Daphne’s Greek Cuisine, The Design Center in La Crescenta, Pacific Outdoor Living’s kiosk at The Americana in Glendale, or at www. pacificoutdoorliving.com.

What does an unstable world mean for the markets?

The past few months have seen a number of troubling situations develop around the world. Russia’s involvement in the Ukrainian conflict has continued, and recently airstrikes began against the Islamic state extremist group in Syria. The growing list of global concerns may add to a sense of unease for investors. Despite these issues, stock markets continued to soar to new highs through the middle of 2014 with the Dow Jones Industrial Average topping 17,000 for the first time on July 3, 20141. Is this is a sign that investors are denial about potential problems that may be brewing? Or does it tell us that investors can look past geopolitical risks and focus more on fundamental factors when investing? Dealing with distractions As history shows, there are always areas of concern at home and abroad. In fact, since the year 2000, investors have experienced: • The bursting of the technology stock price “bubble” • The tragic attacks of September 11, 2001 • Two recessions and two severe bear markets • A run-up and then massive decline in home values across much of the nation • A deep financial crisis that proved to be a major setback to the global economy • The highest unemployment rate in nearly 30 years • U.S. involvement in

By Jean D. Koehler wars in Afghanistan and Iraq • Continued tensions in other areas of the Middle East These are among the biggest headline issues that have come into play in the past 15 years. The stock market clearly suffered through some of those periods, with bear markets occurring from 2000 to 2002 and again from late 2007 to early 2009. Yet, the markets recovered as they have throughout history. Bad news is part of the landscape Today, major events across the globe can be felt close to home in a large and diverse, yet interconnected world. Investors are wise to stay abreast of how specific issues may impact their investment decisions. The question is whether the impact on the markets will be just a reaction to developments that is quickly overcome by other fundamental factors, or whether the event will create a secular change in the markets. The S&P 500 Financial sector index peaked at 509.55 in February 2007, and then dropped to below 100 in early 2009. As of September 2014, it is back above 300, but a long way from its peak2. The crisis clearly had a negative impact on that sector of the market that lingers to this day. At a broader level, however, the stock market has more than recovered the ground it lost from 2007 to 2009. At the end of August, the Dow Jones Industrial

Average stood at more than 17,000, 20% higher than the peak it achieved prior to the downturn that began in 2007. It follows a long-term trend. Going back in history, the value of the stock market as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen over time1. There have been periods of decline. But the market has historically overcome these setbacks. From World Wars to the Great Depression to the Arab Oil Embargo of the 1970s to the tragedy of 9/11, business continues and companies keep finding ways to generate profits. While today’s headlines shouldn’t be ignored, be careful not to let them be overly influential as you position your portfolio for the long run. Jean D.

Vaughn Gittin Jr., in third place, and Justin Pawlak, in seventh, will compete in customized Ford Mustangs Oct. 1011, in the final fight of the seven-event series. "I’m really pumped to be heading into the final fight of 2014 at Irwindale Speedway,” said Gittin Jr. “While we are no longer battling for the championship, we plan to hold our ground and take third overall in the series.” “This is something I’m really excited about, given the challenges we had to overcome this season,” he added. “The progression of drifting never ceases to amaze me, and this year has been insane with regard to the level of competition. Our Ford Mustang RTR has been fully up to the task and continues to be a performance bar-setting machine, round after round. We are looking forward to fighting hard and ending the season on the top step.” Ford has supported drivers in Formula DRIFT since 2005, when

motorsports.” Amidst the excitement of North America’s foremost professional drifting championship, Ford continues to give fans the opportunity to enter to win an EcoBoost®powered Fiesta ST. The sweepstakes winner will receive personal drift lessons from Gittin Jr., a trip to Ford’s ST Octane Academy, and a visit to Hoonigan Racing headquarters.

His oldest son, Edgar Howard Johnson, Jr., is very excited about its return and said, “My Dad would be tickled to get it back if he

was still alive. This is so great; absolutely amazing; so wonderful. I remember my Dad picking me up from school with it one time.

Running back Lawrence Spicer Dyson shining on Volleyball Court for PHS By Shel Segal stepping up for Monrovia Football For Ruby Dyson, it’s all Helping Dyson’s sucBy Shel Segal

When the season started for the Monrovia High football team, junior running back Lawrence Spicer was not in the starting line-up for the Wildcats. But as necessity has dictated that Spicer be given the ball, the 16-year-old has responded well and hopes his number gets called more in the future. “The season is going good right now,” Spicer said. “Starting the game (on Sept. 26) against Los Altos I did pretty well. I’m just hoping to continue that on this week against San Marino.” And much is at stake as the Wildcats – longtime a Rio Hondo League powerhouse – take on the up-and-coming Titans 7 p.m. Friday night at home. But Spicer said as long as the blocking is good, he can give the team plenty of yards on the ground. “First of all, my blockers, of course,” Spicer said about who should be credited with his rushing success. “And the play-calling from the coaches,

as well as my finding the holes.” He added life for a running back generally lives and dies with its offensive line. “At times, it’s hard, depending on the blocking,” he said about finding holes in the defense. “But other times it’s pretty easy to find them.” Spicer also gave credit to first-year coach Chris Stevens for the early success he is having with the team, which is 4-1 overall. “The new coach is great,” Spicer said of Stevens. “I like his play-calling. It’s about 50 percent each throwing and running.” He added he really appreciates when his number is called to be handed the ball. “It makes it feel like he has confidence in me when I’m given the ball,” he said. Spicer, who also plays linebacker for the Wildcats, started playing football when he was 5 years old at Kare Youth League in Arcadia. He said he has just really enjoyed being around the sport. “I just like the contact

and the feeling of family on the team,” he said. Stevens said Spicer is very “soft spoken,” but tough on the gridiron. “He’s very humble,” Stevens said of Spicer. “He’s not about himself at all. He’s a fierce competitor. Underneath that meek exterior beats the heart of a warrior. He has wonderful work ethic. He has the ability to give us depth. He’s stepped in very well and has done everything we have asked him to do. He’s a wonderful young man.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.

about winning on the volleyball court. And that’s something she’s very good at. So good that the senior for the Pasadena High girls’ volleyball team and threeyear varsity starter is hoping to take her game next year to either NCAA Division I or II. “I think just trying to get to college and trying to get a scholarship, just being able to do what I love to do beyond high college,” Dyson said in response to a question about her next step. Dyson said she plays volleyball year-round and that started at a very young age. “I started with my cousin Shelby, who graduated last year, and it just started with her, peppering and pumping the ball around. I was 9,” Dyson said. “And then I started my club season when I was 9. I’ve just been playing ever since.” She added she gets a real high from doing well. “At first, it was just kind of something extracurricular to do,” she said. “But whenever you get a kill or whenever you get a block, knowing that the team needs you it’s something that feels good. It’s just a good experience. I really love it.”

cess on the court has been her height, and she stands at 6 feet, 4 inches tall. And while that is unusual for a girl, Dyson said she just uses it to her advantage. “People think I can’t hear them talking about me, but I do,” she said. “And I don’t care. That makes me want to capitalize on that. That drives me to show them, ‘You think I’m this good? Well, I am this good!’” Pasadena coach Ashley DiSalvo said Dyson is just a terrific player for the Bulldogs “She was voted our MVP last year by the team,” DiSalvo said of Dyson. “That was a great honor to be bestowed onto her by her fellow teammates. That was huge. She led in kills for us last year, she led in blocks for us. It’s a huge accomplishment. That indicates a great offensive player. That indicates great ability in the front row.” DiSalvo added Dyson should have a stellar collegiate career. “She’ll probably walk in and be a starter 100 percent depending on the level that she goes to,” DiSalvo said. “With her ability right now, with her IQ on the court I think no doubt she’ll be an

immediate contributor.” Dyson said DiSalvo has really helped her with her game. “She just teaches me not how to improve, but she’s been helping me on what I have as a player, just growing and expanding,” Dyson said of DiSalvo. Dyson also said being on the court has had some other positive results in her life. “I’ve met so many of my good friends because I’ve been playing club, because I’ve been playing high school,” she said. “They’re people I would have never associated myself with and now I’m friends with them.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.

Why your kid shouldn’t be guzzling ‘energy’ drinks Vitamins & minerals are safer and more effective Anxiety, hypertension, elevated heart rates, interrupted sleep patterns and headaches are just some of the side effects commonly associated with energy drinks, and those problems are more pronounced in children, according to a recent University of Miami study. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. These drinks have also been linked to heart palpitations, strokes and sudden death. The term “energy” drink is an unfortunate misnomer, says food science expert Budge Collinson. They don’t give your body energy; they stimulate you with brief jolts of caf-

feine and unregulated herbal stimulants, he says. “Soccer moms and dads buy these ‘stimulant’ drinks for their kids before matches because both kids and parents want that competitive advantage,” says Collinson, founder of Infusion Sciences and creator Youth Infusion, (www. drinkyouthinfusion.com), an effervescent, natural multivitamin beverage that helps people maintain consistent and healthy higher energy levels. So, what are some ways kids can get a healthy energy boost? Collinson offers the following tips. • Go for a speedy bike ride together, take a brisk

walk or hold foot-races in the yard. Numerous studies demonstrate the power of vigorous exercise in boosting energy. Exercise pumps more oxygen – pure, healthy fuel -- into the bloodstream and to the brain and muscles for a short-term energy boost. Exercising regularly will increase lung capacity, so the body will gets more oxygen on a sustained level for the long term. Exercise also releases endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemical, which makes us feel happy. And happy people are energized people. • Drink plenty of water – the natural energy drink. Even mild dehydration can

Everyday is an open house:

leave children (and adults) feeling listless, so encourage children to make a habit of drinking plenty of water. Kids need more water than adults because they expend more energy, and they may not recognize when they’re slightly thirsty. Parents, too, often don’t recognize the signs of dehydration; a national survey of more than 800 parents of kids ages of one month to 10 years found that more than half feel they don’t know enough about dehydration. A quick, light pinch of the skin on the child’s hand or arm is an easy check. If the skin is slow to resume a smooth appearance, the child is likely at least mildly dehydrated.

Nonstructural Hazards: Identify and mitigate possible hazards; including utility shutoff. Life-threatening Conditions: Recognize and treat an airway obstruction, how to control bleeding and treat for shock. Fire Safety: Develop a home escape plan, maintain smoke alarms and operate a fire extinguisher. First Aid: Basic first aid, including ABC treatment, treatment for shock, and related techniques Hazardous Materials: Identification of household hazardous materials, proper storing and disposal, and hazardous materials decontamination. CERT Overview: Community Emergency Response Team training includes; neighborhood preparedness, fire safety, hazardous materials, disaster medicine, light search & rescue, C.E.R.T. organization, disaster psychology and terrorism awareness. A key factor for CERT members is the ability to spontaneously organize and activate themselves in the event of a major disaster.

STYLE MEETS FUNCTIONALITY

The National Council for Behavioral Health has selected Hillsides as one of 29 community behavioral health organizations from across six states to participate in the Reducing Adolescent Substance Abuse Initiative. This two-and-a-half year project is designed to help providers systematically implement a screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) protocol to address substance use among adolescents ages 15– 22 who receive services for an emotional disturbance or a psychiatric disorder. The project will also address how Medicaid, through its early periodic screening, diagnosis, and treatment benefit, can pay for SBIRT services. The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation supports this project. Participation in this initiative will enable Hillsides to provide more comprehensive care to its clients, said Cindy Real, Hillsides director of the Chemical Dependency Awareness and Prevention program. Clients will now be screened and treated for substance abuse issues as part of a holistic approach to treatment. The National Council for Behavioral

Health will also train and mentor Hillsides staff in substance abuse screening, diagnosis, intervention, and billing. Hillsides launched a Chemical Dependency Awareness and Prevention program last spring. Families throughout Los Angeles County have access to the program through the agency’s Family Resource Centers and school-based sites. Hillsides, headquartered in Pasadena, is a premier provider dedicated to improving the overall wellbeing and functioning of vulnerable children, youth, and their families throughout Los Angeles County. It consists of four core programs: Family Resource Centers that offer numerous community-based programs and services; Residential Treatment Services that provide a safe and stable environment for children unable to live at home; an Education Center, a therapeutic residential and day school for children with emotional or behavioral challenges; and Youth Moving On, a program for youth formerly in foster care who are transitioning to adulthood.

Capitol Hill who are going to be there; it’s nurses; and unless we have adequate preparation, we’re putting people in harm’s way.” NNU recently announced that it had arranged the donation of 1,000 Hazmat-style protective suits for nurses, doctors and other health workers fighting the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, and is continuing to seek additional donation from garment manufacturers and hospitals. A recent report from the Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General warned the U.S. is ill-equipped to handle a major pandemic, despite the federal government allocating at least $47 million to prepare for it since 2006. “This potential exposure of patients and healthcare workers demonstrates the critical need for planning, preparedness and protection at the highest level in hospitals throughout the nation,” said Bonnie Castillo, RN, director of NNU’s Registered Nurse Response Network, which is coordinating the RN response. “The clock is ticking. It is long past time to act,” Castillo said. Preparedness for disease outbreaks is a long standing problem, note the nurses, citing the death of a U.S. nurse in a California hospital infected during the H1N1 outbreak in 2009.

NNU is calling for: • All U.S. hospitals to immediately implement a full emergency preparedness plan for Ebola, or other disease outbreaks. That includes full training of hospital personnel along with proper protocols and training materials for responding to outbreaks, adequate supplies of all personal protective equipment, properly equipped isolation rooms to assure patient, visitor and staff safety, and sufficient staffing to supplement nurses and other health workers who need to care for patients in isolation. • Significant increases in provision of aid, financial, personnel, and protective equipment, from the U.S., other governments, and private corporate interests to the nations in West Africa directly affected to contain and stop the spread of Ebola. • Proper funding of international disaster relief and global health agencies whose budgets have been cut as a result of austerity measures implemented by the wealthiest nations. • Stepped up action on the climate crisis which has contributed to the spread of disease outbreaks. Scientific American in 2008 named Ebola, which is directly affected by droughtrelated deforestation, as one of a dozen epidemics likely to be spurred by climate change.

U.S., India to collaborate on Earth, Mars Missions

In a meeting Tuesday in Toronto, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and K. Radhakrishnan, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), signed two documents to launch a NASA-ISRO satellite mission to observe Earth and establish a pathway for future joint missions to explore Mars. While attending the International Astronautical Congress, the two space agency leaders met to discuss and sign a charter that establishes a NASA-ISRO Mars Working Group to investigate enhanced cooperation between the two countries in Mars exploration. They also signed an international agreement that defines how the two agencies will work together on the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission, targeted to launch in 2020. NASA's contribution to NISAR is being managed and implemented by the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "The signing of these two documents reflects the strong commitment NASA and ISRO have to advancing science and improving life on Earth," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "This partnership will yield tangible benefits to both our countries and the world." The joint Mars Working Group will seek to identify and implement scientific, programmatic and technological goals that NASA and ISRO have in common regarding Mars exploration. The group will meet once a year to plan cooperative activities, including potential NASAISRO cooperation on future missions to Mars. Both agencies have newly arrived spacecraft in Mars orbit. NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft arrived at Mars Sept. 21. MAVEN is the first spacecraft dedicated to exploring the tenuous upper atmosphere of Mars. ISRO's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), India's first spacecraft launched to Mars, arrived Sept. 23 to study the Martian surface and atmosphere and demonstrate technologies

needed for interplanetary missions. One of the working group's objectives will be to explore potential coordinated observations and science analysis between MAVEN and MOM, as well as other current and future Mars missions. "NASA and Indian scientists have a long history of collaboration in space science," said John Grunsfeld, NASA associate administrator for science. "These new agreements between NASA and ISRO in Earth science and Mars exploration will significantly strengthen our ties and the science that we will be able to produce as a result." The joint NISAR Earthobserving mission will make global measurements of the causes and consequences of land surface changes. Potential areas of research include ecosystem disturbances, ice sheet collapse and natural hazards. The NISAR mission is optimized to measure subtle changes of Earth's surface associated with motions of the crust and ice surfaces. NISAR will improve our understanding of key impacts of climate change and advance our knowledge of natural hazards. NISAR will be the first satellite mission to use two different radar frequencies (L-band and S-band) to measure changes in our planet's surface less than a centimeter across. This allows the mission to observe a wide range of changes, from the flow rates of glaciers and ice sheets to the dynamics of earthquakes and volcanoes. Under the terms of the new agreement, NASA will provide the mission's Lband synthetic aperture radar (SAR), a high-rate communication subsystem for science data, GPS receivers, a solid state recorder, and a payload data subsystem. ISRO will provide the spacecraft bus, an S-band SAR, and the launch vehicle and associated launch services. NASA had been studying concepts for a SAR mission in response to the National Academy of Science's decadal survey of the agency's Earth science program in 2007. The agency

developed a partnership with ISRO that led to this joint mission. The partnership with India has been key to enabling many of the mission's science objectives. NASA and ISRO have been cooperating under the terms of a framework agreement signed in 2008. This cooperation includes a variety of activities in space sciences such as two NASA payloads -- the MiniSynthetic Aperture Radar (Mini-SAR) and the Moon Mineralogy Mapper -- on ISRO's Chandrayaan-1 mission to the moon in 2008. During the operational phase of this mission, the Mini-SAR instrument detected ice deposits near the moon's northern pole. JPL has participated in providing navigation and communication support for ISRO's MOM. JPL provides navigation and Deep Space Network support for MAVEN, as well as Electra telecommunications relay hardware and operations. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Exploration Program for NASA.

4 principles for staying cool under pressure – and succeeding We all ask ourselves the same desperate question from time to time: How am I going to make this work?! “No matter how well we’ve done laying the groundwork for everything to run smoothly – becoming educated, choosing the right spouse, treating others well -- we all face situations that challenge us,” says Dr. Robert J. Cerfolio, a world-renowned cardiothoracic surgeon known as “the Michael Jordan of lung surgery.” “If we can keep our cool and adhere to some basic principles, we can not only meet any challenge – we can perform with excellence.” A high-performance athlete in high school and college, Dr. Cerfolio parlayed his talents and focus into pursuing his medical career and creating a happy family with his cherished wife, Lorraine, and their three sons. But after battling breast cancer, Lorraine recently passed away. Cerfolio, author of “Super Performing at Work and at Home: The Athleticism of Surgery and Life,” (www.superperforming. com), shares the principles that helped him through that greatest of all challenges and lesser ones along the way. “Apply these principles in work, sports and life in general, and you can become a super performer,” he says. • Pressure equals

opportunity. It’s when something matters that the pressure starts to build; this is where the rubber meets the road for sports-to-life analogies. “In sports as in life, remember your training; follow through just like you did during practice; visualize success; believe it will happen,” Dr. Cerfolio says. “With friends, for example, high-pressure moments can be those times when they need you. The best way to have great friends is to be a great friend.” • Strive to hit .400 every year – keep your eye on the prize; write it down. “My high school gave out an award each year to the best student athlete in each grade,” he says. “I wrote down that I wanted to win the Klein Award in the ninth, 10th and 11th grades, and to win the most prestigious award at the senior graduation, the Deetjen Award. He accomplished most of those goals, and a key to those achievements was writing them down and placing the paper where, for four years, he could see it every night. “By writing them down, I had made my goals clear and objective.” • Lean toward a “wecentered” ego rather than a “me-centered” one. “When I traded in my baseball uniform for surgical scrubs, I noticed

the importance of stripping the many layers of the ego I once had,” Dr. Cerfolio says. “This is really important: Your ego doesn’t need to be visible to everyone -- or even anyone but yourself.” Being a top performer requires ego – it helps fuel self-confidence and provides some of the motivation necessary to achieve. But it should not hinder the performance of your team: your coworkers, friends and family. Over time, by keeping your ego to yourself, it becomes easier to enact a team-oriented ego, rather than a “me-oriented” one. • Time to quit? Rub some dirt on it. In life, work is unavoidable, so embrace it, go big, and appreciate the rewards. No matter how difficult the challenge you face or how much it may hurt to meet that challenge, push through and give it your all. “Yes, there’s a chance you won’t succeed, or won’t succeed to the degree you’d like. But you stand zero chance of success if you don’t meet that challenge and give it everything you’ve got,” Dr. Cerfolio says. “You owe it to yourself and your team, whether that’s your ball team, your family team or your work team. When you sign up for any team, by definition you promise your time, effort and 100 percent commitment. "

NOTICE

TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 877-484-9942 or visit this Internet Web site www.USAForeclosure.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2014-CA006783. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder(s) sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the trustee and successful bidder(s) will have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. Date: 10/3/2014 R.E.F.S.
