On October 13, 2014 at 6:18am, Pasadena Police Officers responded to the 200 block of North Madison Avenue, following a 911 call for help from a male reporting that he and his wife were stabbed and badly injured. The caller reported that the suspect, a reported family member, had possibly left the apartment. Officers quickly responded and discovered two adult victims inside an apartment on the third floor critically injured from multiple stab wounds. The injured male and female were transported to a local area hospital by Pasadena Fire Department Paramedics. Tragically, the female died soon after arriving and the male victim died while in surgery. Pasadena Police

By Dorothy Denne Well, it happened again. There was an error in my column last week. This time it was not the paper's fault. It was my own typo. I meant to type that I jiggle. Instead I typed that I juggle. That ruined my line that was to say I giggle, wiggle and jiggle. However, there was much truth in the new statement. I do juggle a lot nowadays.

chores, fun-breaks, etc… When I find some open space I seem to fill it with something. Or, I fall asleep 'cause I'm pooped from all the previously filled spaces. I'm juggling time now due to an unexpected time filler. I had to take my husband from the doctor's office to the emergency room to determine if he had a blood clot or infection. I have not used an emergency room for roughly 40 years, when that same husband broke his arm on a weekend. Well folks, times have changed. Forty years ago we walked in, they x-rayed his arm, set it, put a cast on
it and we walked out again, all within 2 hours. This time we sat in the waiting room longer than that. I had plenty of time to write a column but it was not exactly a conducive environment. Once he made it into an ER room, the care given to him was very efficient and professional. So 7 hours after we walked in, he was ensconced in a room receiving IVs for the infection and I was walking out the door. I was ready to fall asleep. Tomorrow I would juggle as necessary and not give a flying hoot whether I giggled, wiggled, or jiggled. Every morning is the dawn of a new error!
Irwindale officer files federal lawsuit, says rights were violated By SHEL SEGAL A lawsuit was filed in federal court late last month by an Irwindale police officer who claims his civil rights and right to privacy were violated, according to a published report. The officer, whose name is Manuel Campos, said his rights were violated when he was subject to a search of his locker, was required to give a urine sample in front of his superiors and was detained without representation from a lawyer or union representative, the report said. City Manager John Davidson said in that report that he declined to comment on the lawsuit because it is pending litigation. The allegations stem from an Aug. 17, 2013 incident where a woman called the police station to complain that an Irwindale police officer, whose description matched Campos’, had taken her and her friends to a bar in a marked police cruiser and the officer drank an alcoholic beverage while
in uniform and on duty. She said the officer came back to her home and they engaged in sexual conduct, according to the lawsuit. The caller did not know Campos’ name, but said she had some of his property. That same day Campos had asked his supervisor if he could drive to Covina to visit a family member at a hospital during his shift. His supervisor agreed. Campos said he was at the pizza parlor in Covina that the caller referenced. Campos told his supervisors he believed the woman was trying to make false allegations against him. As Campos’ supervisors investigated the incident, Campos alleges he was detained and was not allowed to go to the bathroom. Campos said Sgt. George Zendejas, who is named in the lawsuit, denied him union representation and an attorney. Zendejas said in that report that he declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Campos was also required to provide a urine sample while one of his supervisors was watching, according to the lawsuit. Campos opened his locker and his superiors confiscated his uniform, gun belt and other personal items. “As Campos stood inside of the locker room completely naked, he was completely humiliated, embarrassed, and ashamed for the way he was being viewed and treated by Zendejas and Sergeant Gatto,” according to the lawsuit. Campos was placed on administrative leave and escorted from the police station. “The allegations that were made against Campos were ultimately unfounded however he did receive a written reprimand for being outside of the city, despite the fact that Campos had received permission to be outside of the city,” according to the lawsuit.

Serving Leaders, Serving Teams A bi-monthly column by Heather Backstrom, Ed.D.
Who am I? Who are You? Working with colleagues can be easy and it can be frustrating. Oftentimes the reason why we find some people easy to work with and others difficult is because we have different personality traits, preferences or styles. If you’re the “bottom-line, just give me what I need to know” type and you encounter the “give me the details and facts” type it’s bound to result in frustration. On the other hand, it’s risky to only surround yourself with people like you because you jeopardize not seeing the whole picture and important information can fly right past you. Fortunately, there are tools that help you understand your own traits and styles such as the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), DiSC (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness) and TKI (Thomas-Kilman Instrument). Using tools like these to better understand yourself and others can result in improved interactions and job performance. Let’s take a look at these assessments and how they can help you work more effectively. MBTI: With the MBTI there are 8 personality pref-
erences which result in a four letter combination, such as ENFJ. The preferences are: extraversion or introversion (E/I), sensing or intuiting (S/N), thinking or feeling (T/F), and judging or perceiving (J/P). The combined four letters indicates your personality preference giving you insight on how you get energized, take in information, make decisions and whether you prefer things to be closed or openended. Likewise, it can help you understand the preferences of others. DiSC: There are four behavioral styles that describe how you tend to approach work and relationships. DiSC measures how you do what you do, that is your behaviors. The D-style stands for dominance and is characterized by someone who is results-oriented, takes risks, is decisive and focuses on the bottom-line. The I-style refers to Influence. This style is seen as enthusiastic, outgoing, impulsive and people-oriented. The S-style stands for steadiness and is described as someone who is patient, considerate, team focused and sincere. Conscientiousness is the C-style and is characterized by accuracy,
analysis, quality and objectivity. All styles are valuable and help a team perform well. TKI: The ThomasKilman Conflict Mode Instrument focuses on your tendencies toward handling interpersonal conflict. The TKI describes five conflict modes and helps you identify the one you use most often when faced with tension or a dispute. The five modes are: competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding and accommodating. Being aware of how you tend to handle conflict is the first step. The second step is to recognize and use alternative responses. The TKI helps you steer conflict in constructive directions. All of these assessments can help you work more effectively with others. The insights you’ll gain about who you are and who others are will surely raise performance, teamwork and satisfaction. Take a class or work with an executive coach to learn more. Heather Backstrom is an executive coach, leadership development consultant and speaker. She has a doctorate in organizational leadership from Pepperdine University.

Department, The City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Economic and Workforce Development Department and the California Workforce Investment Board. “This is the second Employer Forum we’ve hosted this year and it’s a win-win for employers and the general public,” said Charles Pattillo, General Manager of CALPIA. “It’s important for employers to hear about the benefits of hiring former offenders, not only do they receive tax credits and insurance savings, but they help taxpayers save money and keep communities safer.”
Dozens of employers attended the forum and learned about accessing a pool of trained, skilled and certified workers. Business owners also discovered how to reduce their recruitment and training costs through work opportunity tax credits and fidelity bonding options. Former U.S. Secretary of Labor and Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor Elect, Hilda Solis, was the keynote speaker and encouraged business owners to provide those second chances for this skilled workforce. Also speaking at the event was Vice President
of Human Resources of the Staples Center, Nokia Theatre and LA Live, Joe Herrera, who provided positive stories of hiring former offenders. CALPIA trains over 8,000 offenders per year in service, manufacturing and agricultural industries in California’s penal institutions. CALPIA is selfsupporting and does not receive an appropriation from the state budget. CALPIA participants returned to prison, on average, 26-38 percent less often than offenders released from the CDCR general population.

The utility users tax The Utility Users Tax was implemented in 2008 under Measure UA, and the voters passed it. At that time, it was stated that the3 monies were to be used to fund public safety services, including paramedic programs, police salaries and benefits and additional safety staffing. The City Council also stated that with this new program it would allow the Council to plan for other vital community services, including our historic library, our parks and recreation programs, and senior services. It was on this basis that the people of Sierra Madre voted to pass the UUT under Measure UA. In 2012, by Measure 12-1, the scope of the use of the UUT funds were increased to add street maintenance, library services and park and recreation services. In 2014, the wordage also stated that the funds could be used to fund General City Services. Even though the peo-
ple defeated both the 2012 and 2014 measures, the City Administration continues to keep these additions in place which were never enacted into law. In other words, they want to spend the UUT income any way that they choose to and not what the people voted for. Is there any reason why the people voted them down! Both the Police and Fire Departments have expanded greatly on money spending items so that the spending has increased to almost double the amount of income. The Fire Department had added paid paramedics before the 2008 ballot measure based upon funds received from the sale of the Canyon Fire Station. The City Council knew that these funds were only enough for a temporary paramedic program, but they put it in place anyway. Since then the Fire Department has added many more to the payroll to the point that there are currently 35
paid personnel and 48 volunteers. The total force was 30 volunteer firemen when they moved into the present facility. All 83 personnel have to be Certified EMTs, which is as it was before. The City spends more money on warrants each time the Council meets than the 2% cuts of the UUT that the people voted for. The City Administration still has not received the message as of yet. That is why the people are putting forth under the initiative process a ballot measure to eliminate the UUT altogether. Soon there will be a petition being circulated for signatures to qualify this item for public votes. We urge you to not only sign the petition, but also vote to eliminate this tax. This is only one of the man y ways that the people are taxed or charged directly by our City. Somehow, some way, controls have to be put in place! Sierra Madre Watchman

As America becomes more diverse, House Republicans barricade themselves in red-state districts where extremism is no vice. This retrograde GOP white "boys" club is comically
out of step, opposing commonsense legislation supported by a large majority of Americans, from universal background checks for guns to immigration reform. In their parallel universe, democracy is dangerous, and obstruction is the only goal.

Sheriff Scott promotes Nicole Nishida
Letters to the Editor (Cont.) A wake up call
Call
Dear Editor: A Wake-Up
I applaud President Obama for the way he is handling the ISIS (Islamic State of Iran and Syria) situation, although many feel that what he is now doing is too little and too late. What is of great concern-is the way he confronts the terrorists, who are threatening us as an external threat, but then ignores the latent terrorist, here at home, who could present hazards that would send the media into a frenzy. Who can deny that the unwelcome situations which we confront on a daily basis are coincidental? The lethal viruses that are now affecting many Americans, mainly children, are nothing to shun away. The carriers of such maladies appear to be alien to our country. With the emergency rooms crowded as they are, an outbreak of a virus, such as Ebola, could cause civil problems. In the midst
of so many undocumented immigrants, there are not enough medical personnel to verify that a healthy person is entering our country. If biological warfare is a major concern, so is the breach of security in the information arena. If consumers feel that the secrecy of their personal information is threatened when they use either credit or debit cards, no one can fault them if they choose not to go to that establishment. And that translates into loss revenue. But what recourse does an American have, when the banks, brokerage firms or the stock exchanges come under the evil eye of an information thievery? How terrible would of losses be. Not only do Americans have to worry about the malicious eyes of a person who wants to garnish your information, but we must concern ourselves with the malevolent intentions of individuals who desire to bring chaos upon
the United States, by sabotaging our utilities. A brown out scheduled by the local electricity providers is tolerable. But what about a blackout lasting days? How would that affect the local gentry? Although the water main breakage in the L. A. County area was due to old age of the piping, how would the American people react to intentional tampering with our water supply? Not well, I fear. The reaction would be what terrorists would want. Greatly inconvenient would be a few words to describe the pandemonium that would follow such situations. So, Mr. President, I appreciate it to the highest degree, that you wish to stop the terrorists before they reach our shores, but to a great extent, I am concerned, and rightly so, about the sleeping cells of terrorists in our country, waiting for a wake-up call. Tony Farinella, El Monte

Victor Valenzuela receives NAACP Civic Award
Duarte Boxing gym’s Head Trainer, Victor Valenzuela, was one of 15 community leaders presented with awards at the Pasadena Branch of the National Association of Colored People NAACP's 29th Annual Ruby McKnight Williams Awards Dinner, October 2 at the Pasadena Hilton Hotel International Ballroom. Valenzuela received one of three Civic Awards handed out that evening. Valenzuela, who grew up in Duarte, is the son of Lena Valenzuela who has a City park named in her honor. Victor has been boxing for over 27 years and has been with the City of Duarte for over eight years. On June 26, 2010 Valenzuela was inducted into the California Boxing Hall of Fame! He has also trained with such boxing greats such as Paul Banke and Zack Padilla as well as having taken US national teams all around the world to compete against other nations. Valenzuela, well known
in Pasadena, Azusa, Duarte, El Monte, Hawaiian Gardens, and many other cities and states, is a powerhouse boxing coach and icon in the sport. Coming from being a trainer at the Azusa Boxing gym for years, Victor transformed the Duarte Boxing gym into a well-known, nationally recognized gym, receiving countless amateur titles and a professional world title under his guidance. A soft-spoken man with a big heart and big talent, Victor is the backbone of the Duarte Boxing gym and is well respected by all the youth, staff and community members. Valenzuela is an extraordinary person with a passion for changing the lives of youth going above and beyond by serving as a mentor, coach and father figure to many. He also volunteers countless hours of his personal time to train young men and women in the sport of boxing. Many youth acknowledge that
both Victor and boxing saved their lives from drugs and gangs. Victor also works full-time at the City of Hope making great strides in hiring youth to work and train under him in a profession allowing them to make a better life for themselves inside the ring and out. As a professional who works with hundreds of at risk youth, Valenzuela is a rarity. People like him are far and few making daily personal sacrifices to save the lives of kids. He is one to be respected and admired. About the City of Duarte: The City of Duarte was incorporated on August 22, 1957. With integrity and transparency, the City provides exemplary public services in a caring and fiscally responsible manner with a commitment to our community’s future.

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 issue is now squarely before the California Supreme Court in Yvanova v. New Century Mortgage Corp. 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.
Rep. Chu is praised By President Obama Continued from page 1
Naturally, their beauty and proximity attract families and individuals in search of fresh air or recreation on our vast trails alongside flowing rivers. But how to do so sustainably has been an active challenge for years. Now, after more than a decade of work, national monument designation will finally provide more means to protect our beautiful but underresourced San Gabriel Mountains. Standing next to President Obama as this historic declaration was signed, I felt the culmination of all these efforts and the realization of new opportunities for the San Gabriels. “Following the proud example of 16 presidents before him – dating back to Teddy Roosevelt – President Obama has used the Antiquities Act to guarantee continued access to our nation’s rich natural areas while upholding existing water rights, fire prevention, and land usage for generations. Soon, the break from the bustle and crowding of city life afforded by the San Gabriels will be available to our underserved populations, connecting new visitors to this treasure. And when they arrive, they will no longer be greeted by graffiti or garbage. Already, there has been an incredible response from the community to join in the effort and we are seeing public-private partnerships springing up to contribute to the conservation and upkeep.” The effort to protect
the San Gabriel Mountains started eleven and a half years ago with the introduction of a bill by then-Representative Hilda Solis. The result was a 10year study by the National Park Service, which included 66 stakeholder meetings, and 16,800 public comments, most overwhelmingly in support of more resources for the San Gabriel Mountains and Rivers. After the release of the study, Representative Judy Chu spent one and a half years drafting a bill on the San Gabriel Mountains and Rivers, conducting over 40 stakeholder meetings, earning the support of the San Gabriel Council of Governments and the San Gabriel Valley Water Association. Santa Anita Canyon and other areas have been excluded. “The lines were drawn by the Administration and it was their decision about what to include or not, “ according to an email sent to our office from Judy Chu. State Assemblyman Curt Hagman criticized President Obama's unilateral action in creating a San Gabriel National Monument without public input or debate. The President signed an Executive Order today (last Friday) at Bonelli Park in San Dimas, placing close to 350,000 acres in the Monument with the stroke of his pen. "All the President really accomplished today was to restrict the public from full access to lands they already own and enjoy as part of a national forest. This irresponsible
action places our water rights in jeopardy, creates legal uncertainty for lessees and private landowners within the boundaries of the national monument, and potentially limits access to those who can least afford the loss." pointed out Hagman. "National forests are called 'the land of many uses' with good reason. Monument status limits citizen use and brings not one more dollar to the area for protection of these valuable resources." Hagman pointed out that Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich announced that their county Public Works, Fire, Planning and Parks and Recreation departments have all registered strong concerns over access, fire suppression, water resources and roads in the affected areas of Los Angeles County. "The list of issues is alarming," Antonovich commented in his release. "We have been told repeatedly that this designation will have no impacts on the Forest, yet our County departments immediately identified multiple areas of concern. We now have more questions than answers, and unfortunately, we will be unable to definitely determine the potential impacts of a designation prior to the President's illadvised Executive Order." "I stand with Supervisor Antonovich on this issue" said Hagman. "County leaders should represent their residents and fight hard for them.”

Two assailants receive plea deals Maranatha leaps over Valley Chrisitan 38-13 Maranatha led Valley in fatal beating of Marine Christian 10-6 by the start By SHEL SEGAL
Plea deals were accepted by two San Gabriel Valley men in the fatal beating of a Marine reservist in Old Pasadena last week, according to a published report. A spokesman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Ricardo Santiago, said Jonas Ramos, 25, of San Gabriel and Angel Moroyoqui, 22, of El Monte pleaded no contest on Tuesday to assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. The two men are now expected to serve six months in county jail and 30 days community service when they are sentenced on Nov. 5
in Pasadena Superior Court, Santiago said. This means the one remaining defendant is Fernando Ramirez, 26, of Rowland Heights. His trial was scheduled to begin earlier this week in Pasadena Superior Court, Santiago said. Prosecutors charged Ramirez with the involuntary manslaughter of 25-year-old Joshua Martinez of Los Angeles as well as assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury. The prosecution also alleged that Ramirez personally inflicted great bodily injury and that the victim went into a coma and suffered brain damage and paralysis.
A video shows the Aug. 5, 2013 assault in the 100 block of East Colorado Boulevard. After Martinez was punched, he fell and struck his head hard on the street. Martinez later died at a hospital, the report said. There were originally five people charged in the case as Jonathan Aquino, 25, of El Monte and 24-year-old Timothy Coley, 24, of West Covina, pleaded no contest in July to assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury, Santiago said, adding both received three years’ probation and 60 days community service.

Disaster Preparedness Workshops Oct. 31 at Pasadena Senior Center The American Red Cross will present free Prepare SoCal workshops Friday, Oct. 31, at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Pasadena Senior Center, 85 E. Holly St. Participants will learn what to store in an emergency kit, how to make a plan for what to do before, during and after a disaster and how to stay informed. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, Southern California is one of the most
at-risk areas for earthquakes and the “Big One” – an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 or higher – is long overdue. For seniors, whether they live independently or with a caregiver, it is more important than ever to be prepared for earthquakes and other disasters that can strike suddenly at any time. Parking will be validated for participants who park in the structure at the southeast corner of Holly Street and Ar-
royo Parkway. To register for one of the Prepare SoCal workshops or for more information, call 626-795-4331.

fenders who have previously been convicted of serious crimes, such as murder, rape, child molestation and certain gun crimes, according to Proposition 47 language. Proposition 47 also provides that certain offenders currently serving felony sentences for certain nonserious and nonviolent property and drug crimes can apply to have their sentences reduced to misdemeanor sentences. Under the measure as written, courts are not required to reduce the sentence for an offender currently serving a felony sentence if the court finds it likely the offender will commit a serious crime. Additionally, the proposition as written provides that the predicted annual savings due to penalty reductions, as estimated by California Governor Jerry Brown’s administration, would be allocated for the Safe Neighborhoods

The Pasadena City Council voted at its Monday, Oct. 6, 2014 meeting to support Proposition 47, known as the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act. Proposition 47 is among the statewide ballot measures California voters can consider for the upcoming election Tuesday, Nov. 4. If passed, Proposition 47’s provisions would reduce from felonies to misdemeanors certain nonserious and nonviolent property and drug offenses, such as theft of property worth $950 or less, shoplifting property worth $950 or less and possession of most illegal drugs for personal use. The measure’s language indicates the penalty would not change for possession of marijuana, which is currently either an infraction or misdemeanor. The reduction in penalties would not apply to of-
of the second half until Dexter Myers (#21) intercepted a pass, one of his three, across the middle of the field and returned it the distance for a touchdown. Maranatha's momentum continued to build throughout the game on both sides of the ball. The offense was led by Caleb Devine as he exploded for 151 yards and two touchdowns. One of those touchdowns was an 80 yard run, revealing Devine's ability to use his brute force to break tackles, followed by his untouchable speed. Eli Snyder (QB #11) was 11-20 with 113 yards, 1 INT and 1 TD to Xavius Boone, who led the team in receiving with 3 catches for 55 yards. The Maranatha Minutemen are now 7-0, showing no signs of slowing down. Their next opponent is Village Christian at Occidental College this Friday. Let's see if the Minutemen can continue their hot streak and extended their undefeated season to 8-0.

El Monte PD hosts Citizens' Academy
The El Monte Police Department has launched its Citizens’ Academy, allowing residents to take a closer look at police operations and programs designed to serve and protect the community. The seven-week program – which is in its 15th year – was open to all qualified applicants who live, work or go to school in El Monte. Past participants have included elected officials, business leaders, community activists, judges, lawyers, homemak-

ers, teachers, students and those interested in law enforcement. The men and the women of the El Monte Police Department give presentations and interesting lectures that are supplemented by hands-on demonstrations and dynamic scenarios. Residents get a first-hand look at rules, regulations and policies the Police Department follow to open the lines of communication between the department and the public.
“The idea behind the Citizens’ Academy is to kind of pull the curtain on the Police Department so our residents can see what goes on behind-the-scenes,” said El Monte Police Chief Steve Schuster. “The academy not only helps citizens learn about the ins and outs of the department and it services, but it is also an opportunity for the police officers to build a relationship with those they have sworn to serve and protect.” The Citizens’ Academy
covers the Police Department’s Aero, Detective and Traffic Safety bureaus; Gang and Narcotics investigations; the Professional Standards, Police K-9 and Mounted units; shooting range and simulator; dispatch; SWAT Team; use of force; Community Relations Office; and Patrol Operations. Classes, which began Sept. 25, are held on Thursdays from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Police Department and are free of charge.

It’s all about the hats and fighting cancer
-Courtesy Photos
Vintage Treasures & Antiques in Arcadia started noticing a trend—quite a few women were coming in looking for cute hats. Co-owner Raquel McLaughlin, when she spoke to them, realized they all had one thing in common: they either knew someone with cancer, or were undergoing chemotherapy themselves in treatment—usually, breast cancer. Strongly wanting to honor women fighting breast cancer and past survivors of breast cancer, Raquel and Vintage Treasures worked tirelessly to secure official backing from the very exclusive City of Hope to throw on a charity fashion show. “100 percent of the proceeds—all of it—is going to the City of Hope, Duarte, to benefit breast cancer research,” said Raquel. Raquel hasn’t stopped for one moment— she has been promoting, inviting, and organizing since she first saw the need in the local community to step up and help. An all-volunteer group of local residents of Pasadena, Arcadia, and Monrovia will be modeling vintage fashion for this cause. Additionally, there will be live music. The event will take place at 5pm on Saturday, October 18 at Vintage Treasures & Antiques in Arcadia. Vintage Treasures is located right next to Zelo’s Pizza at 340 East Foothill Boulevard and they will be holding the “Vintage Fashion For
A Cause” in the rear lot. Tickets are only $30 per person at the door, and include dinner, live music, desserts, beverages, door prizes and inspiration. Tickets may be purchased for pre-sale for $25. Please email vintagetreasures340@outlook.com to purchase them. “We have been honored with the support of many Local Women---residents who care about women with breast cancer!” Raquel told us. “Loyal customers who love to come by our Vintage Store, who want to make a difference in their local community!” Many customers have expressed their excitement and are buying their tickets for the dinner and fashion show evening event. For more information, email vintagetreasures340@outlook.com or contact Raquel at (310) 435-1030. Come join in--it will keep you inspired, and most of all will help the City of Hope Breast Cancer Unit! A little bit about Vintage Treasures & Antiques Arcadia: it is a women-owned business by local residents with a passion for art, furnishings, and vintage clothing and the largest array of hats in the SGV. They take pride in educating people on the art of antiques, and Preservation. Upcycling, Repurposing, Refashioning and Re-love the art of Vintage!

Bio-inspired ‘nano-cocoons’ offer targeted drug delivery against cancer cells Biomedical engineering researchers have developed a drug delivery system consisting of nanoscale “cocoons” made of DNA that target cancer cells and trick the cells into absorbing the cocoon before unleashing anticancer drugs. The work was done by researchers at North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “This drug delivery system is DNA-based, which means it is biocompatible and less toxic to patients than systems that use synthetic materials,” says Dr. Zhen Gu, senior author of a paper on the work and an assistant professor in the joint biomedical engineering program at NC State and UNC Chapel Hill. “This technique also specifically targets cancer cells, can carry a large drug load and releases the drugs very quickly once inside the cancer cell,” Gu says. “In addition, because we used self-assembling DNA techniques, it is relatively easy
to manufacture,” says Wujin Sun, lead author of the paper and a Ph.D. student in Gu’s lab. Each nano-cocoon is made of a single strand of DNA that self-assembles into what looks like a cocoon, or ball of yarn, that measures 150 nanometers across. The core of the nanococoon contains the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and a protein called DNase. The DNase, an enzyme that would normally cut up the DNA cocoon, is coated in a thin polymer that traps the DNase like a sword in a sheath. The surface of the nanococoon is studded with folic acid ligands. When the nanococoon encounters a cancer cell, the ligands bind the nano-cocoon to receptors on the surface of the cell – causing the cell to suck in the nanococoon. Once inside the cancer cell, the cell’s acidic environment destroys the polymer sheath containing the DNase. Freed from its sheath, the DN-
ase rapidly slices through the DNA cocoon, spilling DOX into the cancer cell and killing it. “We’re preparing to launch preclinical testing now,” Gu says. “We’re very excited about this system and think it holds promise for delivering a variety of drugs targeting cancer and other diseases.” The paper, “CocoonLike Self-Degradable DNANanoclew for Anticancer Drug Delivery,” was published online Oct. 13 in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Coauthors include Yue Lu, a Ph.D. student in Gu’s lab; Margaret Reiff, an undergraduate student in the joint biomedical engineering department; Tianyue Jiang, a Ph.D. student in the joint biomedical engineering department and at the China Pharmaceutical University; and Dr. Ran Mo, a former postdoctoral researcher in the joint biomedical engineering department now at the China Pharmaceutical University.

More women are taking control of their finances
By Jean Koehler AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL FINANCIAL ADVISOR As women’s economic, political and social power increase, they’re also taking a more active role in their finances. According to the recent Ameriprise Financial Women and Financial PowerSM study, women of all generations are involved in financial decision making — either shared or on their own — in their households. In fact, among the Boomer, Gen X and Millennial women surveyed, only 4 percent said they weren’t involved in financial matters. More than half (56%) share in making financial decisions with a spouse or partner. Another 41 percent are the sole financial decision-makers in their households. Of the women who are the sole decision-makers, 63 percent are either unmarried or divorced. And nearly half (42%) of the 37 percent of married women said they are in the role of primary financial decision-maker because they view themselves as the most financially savvy individual in their household. Trends show more Millennial women are financial decision-makers A closer look at the numbers also reveals a trend for younger generations to take greater control of household finances. Thirty-eight percent of Millennials — compared with 22 percent of Gen Xers
and 11 percent of Boomers — said they are the primary financial decision-makers. With that in mind, it’s not surprising that many Millennial women said they feel educated and knowledgeable about finances. Many (62%) also said that one or both of their parents spent time teaching them about finances and financial decision making while growing up — compared to only 43 percent of boomers. This experience seems to have made mothers under age 34 even more likely to pass on financial knowledge to their children. A large portion (85%) of Millennial women with children over the age of five believe they have done at least a good job of teaching their children about money. In fact, 33 percent rate themselves as “excellent” at this — many more than any other generation studied. So, it appears that Millennial women are paving the way for the next generation to be even more financially savvy and confident. Planning for your financial future makes a difference Another interesting finding the survey revealed was that women who have a written financial plan feel the most financially confident and in control. They are also more likely to feel at peace with their financial choices. What’s more, women’s financial engagement and attitudes tend to improve with age. For example, 76 percent of boomer women said they have a long-term financial plan they feel comfortable with, compared to just over half (55%) of younger women. This increased comfort also extends to the non-financial aspects of their lives. Boomer-aged women are more likely to rate all the life values — such as financial security, family harmony
and health — as more important than other generations. Women ages 55 to 70 are also more likely to say they are satisfied that they’ve achieved the things that are important to them (80% versus 66% of women under age 55). As the national conversations about finances and retirement readiness continue, it’s important that women — and men — know how to successfully save and manage their money. If you’d like to learn more about financial planning or about creating a holistic financial plan, consult a financial advisor. An advisor can help you assess your financial situation and goals, and create a strategy to help reach them. 1 The Women and Financial PowerSM study was created by Ameriprise Financial using survey responses from 3,515 Americans (2,010 women and 1,505 men as a control) ages 25-70 with investable assets of at least $25,000. The online survey was commissioned by Ameriprise Financial, Inc. and conducted by Artemis Strategy Group from March 6 – March 24, 2014. Jean D.

Rose City Church hosts job fair Wednesday Duarte Mayor’s prayer breakfast Nov. 25 Rose City Church to honor outstanding community volunteers hosted a job fair with over 30 businesses and 400 potential employees on Wednesday. Gerhard Krämer is the Founder of ChurchJobFairs.org and believes churches are the perfect place for a job fair. Why? Kramer explained, “"the distinction between us and a normal job fair is the fact that this place is here to provide hope 365 days a year. Most job fairs change form such as, today it’s a hotel, tomorrow it’s a job fair and the next day it’s a business meeting or a quinceanera." Rose City Church’s job fairs have a different outlook on their employee, employer process. First, the employees are brough into a room where they are given a bag (donated by the Los Angeles Sheriff Department), pen, bottled water, mint and one last look in the mirror before they meet their possible future employer. A pastor also gives them an encouraging pep talk to boost their spirits and a blessing to calm

the nerves. Krämer prefers to "let 20-30 in at a time to make sure everyone has an equal opportunity to talk to each employer" and to take out the daunting feeling of a competition. Thanks to Pastor Dan, Rose City has also made great strides towards impacting the youth in their community with their Rose City Coffee program. When Dan arrived to Rose
City in 2009, he noticed many homeless youths sleeping on their property and decided to lend a helping hand. The program trains four to five homeless or transitional youths for three to four months in the barista business. Dan and his workers focus on quality coffee with a professional attitude. His work has helped many kid’s better their lives and take a different outlook on life.
Duarte will express its thanks to outstanding community volunteers and kick off the holiday season at the 29th annual Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast and 27th annual Duarte Chamber Community Service Recognition Awards. The event will be held Tuesday, November 25 from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the City of Hope Cooper Auditorium, 1500 E. Duarte Rd. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for children and seniors.

As Executive Director, Mr. Barron promotes diversity and racial reconciliation at APU. His vision
is to strengthen the APU community by building partnerships and equipping APU student leaders with the skills to serve as change agents within the APU community. The 29th annual Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast is sponsored by Burrtec Waste Industries, and cosponsored by the following: City of Duarte, Duarte Church and Clergy Association, Duarte Chamber of Commerce, City of Hope, Duarte Kiwanis Club, Duarte Key Club and Duarte Woman’s Club.

Union Station Homeless Services and MUSE/IQUE are teaming up yet again for a genre-bending evening of entertainment for a great cause. The 15th annual An Evening for the Station benefit concert will feature a Beatles/Bash by MUSE/IQUE, the “counter conventional” orchestra. The event will be held on October 29 at 6pm, at Noor in Pasadena. “This collaboration is an opportunity to deepen MUSE/IQUE’s civic and artistic missions,” says Rachael Worby. “Union Station makes all of our lives better. Their fierce advocacy on behalf of every soul in our city is deeply moving, and it is an honor to participate in a fundraising effort for this extraordinary cause.” All proceeds from the 15th annual An Evening for the Station will support Union Station Homeless Services, the San Gabriel Valley’s largest and most comprehensive social service agency assisting homeless men, women and children. Maestra Rachael Worby is the visionary force behind MUSE/IQUE, a deconstructed orchestra made up
of virtuoso musicians, artists, creators, and stellar guests the likes of Flea, Patti Austin, Charlie Haden, Arturo Sandoval, Angela Bassett, and many more. “When Rabbi Marv Gross asked us to explore the brilliance of the Beatles for this celebration, we couldn’t wait to dream up fabulous surprises just for Union Station’s dearest supporters,” she says. “This year we bring the best of our Beatles deconstruction to An Evening for the Station.” These “mash-ups” are designed by Rachael Worby and they feature orchestra musicians with rock, pop, country and gospel artists. Together they will uncover the sublime genius of rock’s most revolutionary group. Event tickets are just $40, and include hors d'oeuvres. Noor is at 260 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena CA.

dining & entertainment Speaking of: Kenton Nelson
The Allendale Branch Library’s popular “Speaking Of” series continues with a discussion with Kenton Nelson, the internationally acclaimed visual artist who was born and raised primarily in Pasadena, on Saturday, October 18, at 2:00 p.m., at 1130 S. Marengo Ave., Pasadena. Light refreshments will be served. Kenton Nelson traces his interest in painting back to his great uncle, Roberto Montenegro, a renowned Mexican muralist and Modernist. Nelson worked as a graphic artist and illustrator for 18 years, before turning his attention to oil painting in the early 1990s. His meticulouslycrafted paintings have been exhibited internationally and have been featured four times on the cover of The New Yorker. The style of Nelson’s paintings has its origins in American Scene painting, Regionalism, and the work of the WPA artists of the 1930s. Not unlike the advertisements of his youth, Nelson’s depiction of figures, objects, and architecture idealizes the ordinary, and, as one critic remarked, has “singlehandedly resurrected the sun-drenched optimism of New Deal American painting.” A dedicated preservationist, Nelson is noted for his paintings of

Pasadena landmarks, especially the Colorado Street Bridge. In recent years, he has also focused on public art, in the form of mosaics, some of which can be seen around Pasadena. Nelson’s mural about the inefficiency of bureaucracy, originally commissioned for The Rite Spot in Old Town Pasadena, was recently restored and is on view at 800 Degrees Pizza. Kenton Nelson attended Long Beach State University and the Otis Parsons Art Institute in Los Angeles, and has been on the faculty of both the Otis Parsons Art Institute and the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Recent exhibitions of Nelson’s paintings have been enjoyed from Los Angeles
to Stuttgart, Germany and Salzburg, Austria. “Speaking Of” is an ongoing series of programs which explores the lives and creative journeys of artistic and cultural figures who reside in Pasadena and neighboring cities – people who have left, and are continuing to leave, an indelible impression on the artistic and cultural landscape of Pasadena and beyond.

Local screenwriter takes honors at back-to-back film festivals

On Sept. 7, 2014, “The Seduction of Auntie Rose,” a feature script by local writer Alpha Blair, won for Best Original Screenplay in the 6th Annual Burbank International Film Festival (BIFF) at a star-studded gala at Burbank’s beautiful Castaway Restaurant. Just a week before, her new short screenplay, “Dancing in the
Age of Paranoia,” won for Best Short in the 10th Annual Action on Film (AOF) International Film Festival in Monrovia, CA. “To be singled out in the company of so many terrific talents is both a humbling and extraordinarily encouraging honor,” said Alpha. “You feel so grateful to be included, but you don’t
expect to still be standing when the glitter settles at the awards dinner – so it feels surreal as you hurry around the tables and up to the stage, hoping you’re not taking forever.” Both of these dynamic Festivals offered a diverse array of narrative and documentary films, seminars – BIFF’S took place prior
to the Festival at their educational partner, Woodbury University – special events and fun after-parties, and each had prominent hosts, honorees, and presenters. Yet they also have their own unique personalities, shaped by their directors and support teams, who work tirelessly to pull it all together. The Action On Film Festival was created by filmmaker Del Weston to showcase underrepresented films, particularly in the action genre. It soon expanded to include all genres and to honor both established artists and on-the-rise Indies. Because it all begins with the words, AOF also puts strong emphasis on writers. AOF’s screenings were at the Krikorian Theater complex in scenic Monrovia, and its charitable events, seminars, and Writers Award Dinner at charming nearby restaurants, while its Black Tie Filmmakers Awards Gala was held at the Hilton Pasadena. Among those honored were actress and farm animal advocate Doris Roberts (“Everybody
Loves Raymond”), who received the Legends Award, actor-writer-producer Jim Piddock of HBO’s “Family Trees,” and consummate actor Richard Gant. The Burbank International Film Festival, headed by award-winning filmmaker and actor Jeff Rector, takes place in Historic Downtown Burbank – which some call the real “Hollywood,” since it was home to some of the seminal beginnings of the film industry in California and to the creation of many early major films. Screenings were held at both the AMC Town Center 6 and the AMC 16 theaters, with after-parties at nearby venues. NBC’s Fritz Coleman hosted the Awards Gala, where pioneers of the industry were honored, including master animators Ron Clements and John Musker, who wrote and directed such classics as “The Little Mermaid.” Presenters included artists who are carrying the torch of creativity and innovation forward today, among them writerdirector Shane Black (“Iron
Man 3”) and Oscar Nominee June Squibb (“Nebraska”). Alpha’s feature screenplay, “The Seduction of Auntie Rose,” is a sexy, spirited story about gaining the courage to create the life you really want, while her short, “Dancing in the Age of Paranoia,” is about a traumatized victim who becomes a victimizer. Winning awards at these events can give credibility to up-and-coming writers and gain industry interest in their projects, but it wasn’t just about the competitions for Alpha. “I attended as many screenings, seminars, and events as I could,” she says. “I actually love film festivals and feel they provide a great service to their communities because they expose us to such a varied range of voices. How we ‘talk’ to each other through our films can educate and enlighten, lead to greater understanding and compassion, and, hopefully, to a more fair and peaceful world – even while we’re being entertained!”

real estate, home & garden The Beauty of Small Homes
The Pasadena Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers 28th Annual Kitchen & Home Tour Sunday, October 19 We at ASID have been producing this tour for so many years that we receive phone calls in the middle of the year asking about the tour and its scheduled date. This Kitchen Tour has been extremely successful not only for the chapter but for the selected designers and the volunteer committee who put it all together. It takes nine months to bring this amazing tour to the public. Yes; the curtain goes up on Sunday, October 19th at 9:30AM, and everything will be in place and ready to go. You, the public, wanted more, so we gave you more…we decided to showcase entire homes and become a larger tour. For many years our tour provided the public with large homes, 3,000 to 4,000 square feet homes, and even mansions larger than 10,000 square feet. The boutiques for you to shop at got bigger and people spent more money. Our own industry partners featured products new on the market for the public to see and touch. This year, our 28th, we continue the process of changing and improving the tour. Our Selection Committee chose four beautiful small homes for this year’s tour. Each is less than 2,000 square feet, charming, modern, European, and smashingly colorful. People can relate to these small spaces because

that's what most people live in. You will discover how a designer can make a room look larger or a dark space brighter. Each of the four kitchens is amazing and interesting, and all different sizes and shapes. A seminar on "How to Create a Great Kitchen on a Reasonable Budget” will be presented at the Rose Bowl home at 11:30am and repeated at 2:30pm the day of the tour. You will find inspiration as you learn some of the tricks of the trade. One of the Pasadena homes on the tour, the European bungalow, will feature an Artisan Bazaar where you can purchase very unique and interesting items. After shopping in the Bazaar you will come upon
our Designer Resource displays with demonstrations of how some products work or are built, along with drawings that will inspire you to go home, move things around, and change your life in your home at no costs to you! On the day of the tour, do take the scenic route from Pasadena to La Canada---we have made arrangements for a 10% discount on your lunch at Brookside Golf Club and also at The Dish restaurant. Take time out of your day to stop and have a bite to eat so that you are newly energized to continue looking at these wonderful and exciting “Small Homes.” In supporting us, you also support charity. A por-
tion of the proceeds will be donated to HILLSIDES this year. HILLSIDES is a premier provider dedicated to improving the overall wellbeing and functioning of vulnerable children, youth and their families. Thank you for spending your day with us; we just know you will enjoy this year’s ASID KITCHEN & HOME TOUR and be part of its success.

HUD Takes action in California in cases where hostile apartment rules against children include no playing outside
Children allegedly forced to clean toilets when found playing outside; families threatened with eviction The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced that it has reached a discrimination settlement agreement with a Napa Valley apartment owner and charged the owners of a Lenexa, Kansas, apartment complex with discrimination as a result of management at the two sites allegedly putting overly restrictive rules into place to control the free movement of children. Allegations include management placing restrictions on children playing outside, and in one case forcing children to clean the manager’s office toilet when the youths were found outside unaccompanied by an adult. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. This includes setting rules that discriminate against families with children. “Placing special rules on families with children unfairly singles them out and creates a hostile living environment that is authoritarian and unequal,” said Gustavo Velasquez, HUD Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. “The Fair Housing Act protects the rights of families with children to enjoy their homes the same way as other households.” In Napa Valley, California, seven affected families, and the nonprofit group Fair Housing of Napa Valley, filed complaints with HUD alleging that the manager at the River Park Manor Apartments cursed at children when he found them playing outside unaccompanied, and then ordered the children to his office and instructed them to sit on the floor. HUD’s charge further alleges that once at the office, the manager required the children to
clean the office toilet and pick up trash around the complex, and threatened them by telling them that their families may be evicted if they did not comply with his instructions. The apartments also had a rule prohibiting children from using the swimming pool during certain hours. Under the terms of the agreement, the owners and manager of River Park Manor Apartments will pay Fair Housing of Napa Valley $3,750; waive four months of rent for five of the families (a total monetary value of $19,000); pay two former tenants a total of $7,000; eliminate the rule that limits pool usage by children during the day; and obtain fair housing training for employees. In a separate case, HUD charged the owners and property managers of The Reserve Apartments in Lenexa, Kansas, with violating the Fair Housing Act when they allegedly instituted a policy that prohibited children under the age of 16 from freely using the common areas of the property. According to HUD’s charge, the property’s policies allegedly required children to be supervised by an adult at all times and prohibited youth from playing anywhere on the property except the playground. The rules also allegedly prohibited kids from playing any team sports on the property, and from riding bicycles, skateboards, or scooters on the property. One of the affected families was a single mother who had a 14-yearold son. When she complained that her son was essentially on “lockdown,” the management office allegedly refused to renew the family’s lease in retaliation. A United States Administrative Law Judge will hear the charge unless any party to the charge elects to have the case heard in fed-

tage over rookie sensation Lacie Price from Bellflower. Partridge has won the lion's share of the IRT races this year (7 of the 9 run so far) but the Irwindale points system (and some very good driving by youngsters McGhee and Price) have kept the show close and the championship outcome to be determined onOctober 18. In what is the largest lead in divisional points for the Irwindale championship events running on Saturday night, Alta Loma's Brent Scheidemantle will lead the INEX Legend Cars onto the Speedway's low-banked (and tricky) third-mile track with a 72-point cushion over Studio City's Aaron Wells (442 to 370). This will be the tenth and final race of the 2014 season for these very popular and very quick little motorcycleengined replicas of early NASCAR stockers. Chad Schug (Oak Hills) is third only 20 back of Wells in the closely-matched "spec" series. There's a hundred to be had in the points pile, which means, of course, that a misstep can cost a lot to a frontrunner in terms of final placings on the points page in the big book of racing for 2014 at Irwindale. The Spears S2 Tour Series will be back for their final Irwindale visit on October 18 with young Brandon Weaver from Bakersfield leading the points with 1,428 after the first seven of their 10-race touring season. Nastasia Dodd from Bass Lake is 129 points back at 1,299 with Bill Waters (Simi Valley) only 10 behind her. Johnny Butler from Arcadia and Kenny Smith from Oak Hills round out the S-2 top five at 1,261 and 1,180 points respectively. The S-2's are a locally-designed and built "spec" (all components and engines are identical) class and the racing is always razorsharp and exceedingly close.

Pic charges to pair of top-five finishes in Sochi
Arthur Pic’s excellent run of form continued with another strong showing in the 10th GP2 Series round of 2014 at Sochi last weekend (October 10-12) after collecting fourth in Saturday’s Feature Race before storming to fifth on Sunday. The 23-year-old Frenchman began by setting the second quickest time in Friday’s free practice session, laying the groundwork for an excellent weekend where he finished inside the top-five in every session at the Russian Grand Prix venue. Pic was therefore confident of securing his maiden GP2 pole position after Stoffel Vandoorne had narrowly denied him last time out in Monza. Despite claiming provisional pole in the dying minutes of qualifying, their rivalry continued when the Belgian reclaimed top spot soon after. Arthur responded by setting an identical lap time, but as the McLaren protégé had crossed the line first Arthur was resigned to starting a still impressive second. A sluggish getaway in the opening race on Saturday
initially relegated the Campos driver to fifth before quickly moving back into third. Notwithstanding the relative lack of degradation on either Pirelli compound, Arthur then gambled with an early change to the medium tires on lap six. This looked to have paid off handsomely a lap later when Stefano Coletti’s stoppage necessitated a Safety Car, although Pic subsequently lost a couple of places to Raffaele Marciello and Mitch Evans due to the bad timing of its arrival. Despite this, the fresh rubber allowed him to attack when normal service resumed four laps later. The Hungarian race winner’s pace was such that he could catch Marciello despite the reigning FIA European F3 champion damaging Pic’s steering when trying to overtake. Nonetheless, he continued to hassle the Italian, which eventually turned into the battle for the final podium spot before Pic was forced to settle for fourth. This translated into fifth on a partially reversed grid for Sunday’s Sprint Race. But af-
ter making another poor getaway, Arthur was once again thrust into combat with Marciello after newly crowned champion Jolyon Palmer forced the pair wide. Undeterred by dropping to 10th, Pic utilized his superior pace to fight his way through the field, firstly dispatching compatriot Pierre Gasly for ninth. Marciello once again influenced Pic’s race on lap eight – albeit this time in a positive way – when he spun at the final corner, forcing Nathanael Berthon to lose momentum and allowing Pic to breeze past into Turn 2 for seventh. After setting consecutive fastest laps, Arthur quickly homed in on Andre Negrao for sixth, although this turned into fifth when Sergio Canamasas retired. However, another Safety Car period brought the field back into close proximity for a two-lap sprint, with Pic wasting no time in claiming fifth from Arden’s Brazilian, which he maintained to the checkered flag. Another fastest lap rewarded Pic with two extra

points, giving him 20 for a strong weekend, while cementing seventh in the standings. “We’ve had a great weekend and our pace was very strong throughout,” explained Arthur afterwards. “I was a little disappointed to miss out on my first pole position, however. The car felt very good, so we didn’t change anything with the set-up between practice and qualifying, which proved to be the right decision. “I was a little too careful with the clutch at the start of
Saturday’s race, as I wanted to limit wheelspin. Unfortunately, the timing of the Safety Car cost me, but the car was fantastic afterwards. On the restart, [Raffaele] Marciello hit me through Turn 17, which damaged my steering column. To be honest, I think this cost me a top-three result. “I made a similarly sluggish start on Sunday, although we were able to demonstrate our pace thereafter. Without the cautious getaway I think we could have finished on the podium once again. Saying that, I’m really pleased
with our performance this weekend. Our speed in dry conditions, especially when it’s warm, has been excellent. “Hopefully the weather is similar in Abu Dhabi, where I’ll be looking to secure my first pole position. If we start at the sharp end, I’m sure we can fight for victory.” Indeed, Pic’s maiden GP2 Series campaign concludes when the final round takes place at Yas Marina on November 21-23.

Jesus “Chuy” Delgado honored for his commitment to youth sports in El Monte By Mark D. Peters, BSHA I want to take a moment to introduce you to Jesus “Chuy “ Delgado. I first met Jesus last March 2014 when my son joined the El Monte National Little League and Jesus was the head coach for the El Monte AAA Pirates. Coach Chuy, as the players called him, took a special interest in my son and took him under his wing and went out of his way to teach him. My family and I came to learn from Jesus and his wife that their daughter Lila has autism as does our son. Jesus has a special ability to work with special needs children and to be able to teach a sport such as baseball to children who have never played before. His patience is unmatched and under his intense and skilled leadership and undaunting dedication, the children thrive and learn. My son liked him so much that he can’t wait for little league to start up again in March 2015. When Jesus is not coaching little league he is coach-

ing football for the El Monte Jets Jr. Gremlins. The main responsibility falls upon his accomplished leadership and certification as a football coach. Jesus’s hard work and selfless dedication to the children of the El Monte Community is beyond admirable and deserves to be recognized. Over the years of coaching both football and baseball Jesus has earned the respect of all the children and those of the parents and leagues. He is a role model to all of us, a father figure and coach more
than anything. On October 11th, 2014 Jesus Delgado was presented with Certificates of Recognition for his dedication to the children of El Monte in the El Monte National Little League and El Monte Jets Football league. The certificates were from El Monte City Council member Victoria Martinez, Mayor and council members and Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti in recognition for Mr. Delgado’s service to his community and commitment to the youth of El Monte.

Thomas scored 6 TDs in Bulldog win Bulldog running back Joeseph Thomas scored six touchdowns as the Pasadena High football team defeated visiting Arcadia High, 42-20, on Friday night in a CIF Southern Section Pacific League game. The win is the Bulldogs’ second straight victory. They thrashed Hoover High, 47-0, on Oct. 3 to snap a three-game losing streak after downing South El Monte High, 50-7, in Week 1. Pasadena coach Drew Bledsoe had words of praise for his running back. “Joeseph Thomas is an amazing young man,” Bledsoe said. When our starting running back got injured
By SHEL SEGAL before the first game, he volunteered to take the job and said, ‘Coach B, I will get the job done!’ He then proceeded to rush for 327 yards and 2 touchdowns against South El Monte and he hasn't slowed up since.” Bledsoe added Thomas just seems to be getting better every week. “His performance against Arcadia is just another example of his hard work and dedication to his teammates,” Bledsoe said. Bledsoe said despite getting off to a rather rough start his team will be competitive from here on out. “We are treating each game this season like a bowl game, where as it is
a privilege to be there,” he said. “Let’s have fun, stay focused and play to win.” And as the team is facing league favorite Burrough High this Friday night, what can be expected from the Bulldogs? “This week is a great match up for us facing Burroughs,” Bledsoe said. “They have the best coach in the league with coach (Keith) Knoop, so you know they will be prepared. We have our work cut out for us, but we look forward to the challenge.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com. Follow him via Twitter @segallanded.)
Monrovia wins CIF opener Continued from page 1
Lawrence Spicer on a 48yard touchdown score with just a little more than three minutes to play in the half. San Marino would not go quietly and led at halftime, 28-27, as quarterback Carson Glazier hit wide receiver J.P. Shohfi with an 18-yard touchdown pass just seconds before the break. Shohfi finished the game catching 10 passes for 253 yards and four touchdowns. In a tamer second half, Monrovia went up for good with a 73-yard touchdown pass from Zamora to Kahlil Bradley with 4 ½ minutes left in the third quarter and a 6-yard touchdown run by Spicer to seal the win. Monrovia coach Chris Stevens tipped his hat to the Titans after the win. “We knew this was going to be an outstanding game tonight,” Stevens said. “San Marino did an outstanding job of preparation, getting their guys in the right spots and getting the ball to the right guy.” He also tipped his hat to Shohfi’s performance. “Shohfi is an incredible athlete,” Stevens said. “We knew that going in. I don’t think we were really aware of how fast he was. He showed tonight that he is a tremendous athlete with a lot of skill and ability. For three quarters we had a hard time containing him.” Stevens said his team

was ready for the kind of game that San Marino brought with it and the kind of games he expects to see in league play. “Every game is the next biggest game,” he said. “We knew that. We knew San Marino coming in, with the points they were putting up and the yardage that their quarterback and receiver had, we knew it was going to be a dogfight.” In addition, he said that while the Wildcats got off to a slow start against
the Titans, he was very happy with the result. “We battled back,” Steven said. “We struggled a little back in the first half to try and get the running game going. That got us going a little bit. (Zamora) did a great job moving in the pocket and making things happen and we found a way to win tonight.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.

Park, Reuss, Landreaux added as instructors for Dodgers Adult Baseball Camp at Historic Dodgertown
The lineup of Dodger stars serving as instructors for the 53rd Los Angeles Dodgers Adult Baseball Camp at Historic Dodgertown – Vero Beach, Florida has expanded to include pitchers Chan Ho Park, Jerry Reuss and outfielder Ken Landreaux, it was announced today by Peter O’Malley, Historic Dodgertown chairman. Park, Reuss and Landreaux will join instructors previously announced as scheduled to attend, including Ron Cey, Tommy Davis, Steve Garvey, Mickey Hatcher, Rick Monday, Maury Wills and Steve Yeager. Plus, Hall of Fame Dodger Manager Tommy Lasorda and former National League umpire Bruce Froemming will be guest instructors. Former Dodger scout Guy Wellman serves as the camp coordinator as he has since the first camp in 1983. Historic Dodgertown was the Spring Training home of the Dodgers from 1948-2008. “We are looking forward to providing a unique experience for those campers in attendance in November,” said O’Malley. “With our latest additions of popular Dodgers Chan Ho Park, Jerry Reuss and Ken Landreaux, this will only enhance the camaraderie, storytelling and instruction for the participants, making this camp the best one ever. It is advisable for those who are considering signing up to do so now.” Park, a founding partner of Historic Dodgertown, is a pioneer of Major League Baseball, the first player from South Korea to sign a contract in 1994. He signed as a free agent pitcher with the Dodgers on January 14. Park
enjoyed 17 seasons in MLB, including nine with the Dodgers (1994-2001, 2008). In 2001, he was a National League AllStar for the Dodgers. Park’s 124 major league wins are the most by a pitcher from Asia. He also participated in three postseasons, including the 2009 World Series for the Philadelphia Phillies. Park pitched in 1,993 innings and had 1,715 strikeouts. His groundbreaking signing opened the doors for 14 more players from South Korea by 2014 to play in the major leagues. Since retiring from his playing days in the United States in 2010, Park pitched one season for the Orix Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan and one year for the professional Hanwha Eagles of the Korean Baseball Organization in South Korea, where he remains one of the nation’s most popular athletes. Park, from Kong Ju City, first pitched at Dodgertown during 1994 Spring Training as a rookie. He made his major league debut on April 8, 1994 in relief and pitched one inning against Atlanta. He had his best season for the Dodgers in 2000 with an 18-10 record and a 3.27 ERA. Today, Park is developing a baseball training center and entertainment complex in South Korea. Reuss pitched 22 seasons and is the 21st player to perform in four consecutive decades in the major leagues (1969-1990). The 6-foot-5 lefthander was a standout on the mound for the Dodgers from 1979-1987, as he won in double figures five times and ranks ninth on the all-time L.A. Dodger list for ERA at
3.11 and 10th on that all-time list for innings pitched with 1,407 2/3. An important contributor to the Dodgers’ 1981 World Championship team, he defeated Houston and Nolan Ryan, 4-0 in the clinching Game 5 of the 1981 National League Division Series. Reuss followed that performance with a complete-game, 2-1, win over the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the 1981 World Series, which the Dodgers won in six games. His top season was 1980 when he led the N.L. in shutouts with six, threw a no-hitter at Candlestick Park over the San Francisco Giants in June, won the 1980 All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium in July and finished with 18 victories to place second in the N.L. Cy Young Award voting. Reuss has provided insightful baseball commentary as an analyst, including for the Dodgers, in addition to serving as a minor league pitching coach. He recently issued his autobiography, “Bring In the Right Hander!”. Reuss is also known for his published baseball photography. Landreaux played outfield for the Dodgers from 1981-1987. He was acquired by the Dodgers late in 1981 Spring Training from Minnesota and finished the storybook season by catching the final out in center field as the Dodgers won the 1981 World Series over the New York Yankees. Landreaux showed outstanding defensive prowess, as he had a 1.000 fielding average in 244 chances in 1981. He also was the center fielder for the 1983 and 1985 National League Western Division Champion Dodger teams. The Angels selected him in the first round of the
Everyday is an open house:
1976 Free Agent Draft (sixth pick) and he made his major league debut one season later. The Dodgers and Historic Dodgertown have teamed up for this year’s camp, certain to be the best ever. As in past camps, Dodger legends serve as instructors and interact on a daily basis with campers to improve skills, impart their baseball knowledge, compete in a game and share stories about their baseball careers. To date, campers from 16 states are represented. The success and popularity of the camp begins with the unique, all-inclusive experience, as participants train, play, dine and stay in one place. Campers will take a beautiful, short walk in a parklike setting from their newlydesigned rooms to the baseball fields, the major league clubhouse (formerly used by the Dodgers), the inviting dining room, fitness center and Stadium Club lounge with large screen TV, card tables and billiards. Hours of enjoyment and the opportunity to learn and hear baseball stories from Dodger stars of the past fill the six nights and five days camp schedule. It is aroundthe-clock, first-class baseball fun, with campers treated the same as when the Dodgers trained at Dodgertown. Included in the camp package: three meals a day; double occupancy (six nights) in one of Historic Dodgertown’s newly-designed rooms; two authentic personalized Dodger jerseys, both home and road; a video of camp activities and team photo; an autographed baseball by the instructors and other Dodger personnel in attendance; 50 baseball cards with

Arcadia student shares love of her hometown with classmates in Phoenix, Arizona Editor’s Note: The following article is actually an informative speech written by local resident Emily Hedlund, who is currently a student in Phoenix, Arizona. Her teacher gave it an “A,” and we can see why. Her grandparents, Bob and Sue Herron, who have lived in The Village for 35 years, were just so proud they wanted to share it with all of us! Good morning, everyone! My name is Emily Hedlund and today I am going to explain how California isn’t just about the ocean and LA, and I am also going to share with you why the city I was born in still remains my favorite city to this day. By the end of my speech, you will all have a better understanding why this one city in particular outweighs all the rest, and how my great-grandpa helped make my stomping ground the great place it is to this very day. How many of you are familiar with the meaning of the word “Arcadia”? Well, it just happens to mean “a region or scene of simple pleasure and quiet.” Most of you have probably been to California for one reason or another, or you all know someone who lives there, but until you visit the city of Arcadia, you won’t know what I am talking about. On August 13, 1903, the city of Arcadia, California, was incorporated. By the turn of the 20th century, Arcadia had a population nearing roughly 500 and an economy that was thriving based on entertainment, sporting, hospitality, and gambling opportunities. During World War I, Arcadia was home to the U.S. Army’s Ross Field Balloon School in what is now Los Angeles County Park. Here observers were trained to watch enemy activity from

walk the streets of my grandparent’s neighborhood (they reside in Arcadia to this day), because no two houses look the same. Each house and road was uniquely structured not to resemble the other, like a lot of other cities in California. My great-grandfather, Egil Hopen, was to thank for that. Being the intellectual civil engineer, he was one of the best at his job, and he had a vision to design roads that wouldn’t just be your typical grid-like format. Instead, he designed roads out of a riverbed—so that explains all the twists and turns throughout one of the neighborhoods in Arcadia known as The Village, which is where I spent most of my early childhood! The downward slope of the roads contributes to the drainage system, which prevents flooding from ever happening. Other than the occasional earthquake, Arcadia’s weather is almost perfect. Being only half an hour from the ocean, there is usually quite a bit of moisture in the clouds, which then provides mist throughout the air. That’s why most of the city is flourished in green. Arcadia was once home to Jet Li and Genie, the feral child. The bassist Michael Anthony of the band Van Halen actually graduated from Arcadia High School in 1972. Today, I discussed the many wonders of Arcadia and even gave you background information of one of my favorite cities. If you ever get a chance to visit, you won’t even know you are in California because it offers the small-town feel with a hint of the big-city vibe, due to its many attractions and charms. Thank you for listening to my speech!

hot air balloons. Arcadia is also home to the beautiful Santa Anita Racetrack, which was opened soon after the legalization of thoroughbred horse racing in December of 1934. During World War II, Santa Anita Racetrack became the site of the Santa Anita Assembly Center for the Japanese, where Japanese Americans were interned under President Franklin Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. At one point, it was the largest Japanese-American assembly center in the United States. Despite the decisions that were made during that one time in our history, Arcadia is known for being one of the ten most Asian resident-populated cities in L.A. County, according to the 2000 census. Arcadia actually has a sister city in Newcastle, Australia, as designed by Sister Cities International. Consequently, on Colorado Boulevard there is a Newcastle Park, and there is an Arcadia Park in Newcastle, Australia! Arcadia is also home of the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Gardens, a rich historical site that includes Native American, Rancho period, and late 19th century treasures. It is also very likely that you will come across a peacock while at the Arboretum, and just as likely while wandering the neighborhoods of Arcadia. This explains why Arcadia’s official bird is…the peacock. Dozens of movies and television programs have had scenes filmed at the Arboretum beginning in 1936, and including portions of two Jurassic Park films; Objective, Burma!; and last year, Katy Perry’s music video for “Roar” was mostly filmed there.

Pasadena Unified receives two grants from U.S. Take Charge America educates Department of Education to transform school climate seniors on repaying student loans New anonymous tipping by text message part of district's recognition of National Bullying Prevention Month in October
The Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) has received a 2014 School Climate Transformation Grant and a Project AWARE Grant from the U.S. Department of Education worth $2.1 million over the next five years. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the School Climate Transformation grants to school districts provide more than $35.8 million to 71 school districts in 23 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The funds will be used to develop, enhance, or expand systems of support for implementing evidencebased, multi-tiered behavioral frameworks for improving behavioral outcomes and learning conditions for students. The goals of the program are to connect children, youths, and families to appropriate services and supports; improve conditions
for learning and behavioral outcomes for school-aged youths; and increase awareness of and the ability to respond to mental-health issues among school-aged youths. “If we can’t help protect kids and staff, and make them feel safe at school, then everything else that we do is secondary,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. “If kids don’t feel safe, they can’t learn. It’s that simple. Through these grants of more than $70 million, we are continuing our commitment to ensure that kids have access to the best learning experience possible.” One hundred school districts received the Department of Health and Human Services’ Project AWARE grants, including 29 of the Department of Education grantees. The purpose of this program is to assist local educational agencies to begin to support the train-
ing of school personnel and other adults who interact with youth in both school settings and communities to detect and respond to mental illness in children and youth, including how to encourage adolescents and their families experiencing these problems to seek treatment. Both grants are part of President Obama’s “Now is the Time” plan to protect children and communities by reducing gun violence. With the funds, PUSD will continue its support of Behavioral Response to Intervention, increase access to social-emotional curriculum, provide students with mental health first aid, and offer programs such as the Safe School Ambassadors/ Anti-Bullying program, Too Good for Drugs curriculum, and Student Aggression Replacement Training. The grants will be administered by PUSD’s office of Child
Welfare, Attendance and Safety. The district will receive $500,000 in the first year of the grant. The district’s announcement of these grants coincides with October being National Bullying Prevention Month. As part of efforts to combat bullying, the district’s television station KLRN Pasadena and PUSD high school students produced a video about the impacts of bullying on students (http://youtu.be/s2pmXimJynQ). Students, staff and community can now anonymously report bullying or threats by texting the phrase “tip PUSD” and a description of the incident to 888777 or by clicking on the anonymous tipping button at www.pusd.us. Additionally, the PUSD Board of Education passed a resolution supporting National Bullying Prevention Month at its October 9th meeting.
Student loan debt is wreaking havoc on Americans’ finances. Many assume it’s a young person’s problem, but senior citizens are now shouldering a hefty debt load. While their share of total student debt is relatively small, it has skyrocketed in recent years – and it’s especially disastrous for their financial stability. The Government Accountability Office recently reported seniors’ share of federal student debt has increased 600 percent since 2005, reaching more than $18 billion last year. Seniors also are more likely to default, with default rates of 27 percent for seniors ages 65 to 74, and more than 50 percent for people 75 and older. “Many seniors are spending their golden years worrying about student loans,” said Mike Sullivan, director of education for Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling and student loan counseling agency. “The government can garnish Social Security benefits to pay
off delinquent loans, pushing some seniors into poverty, but there are ways to avoid such devastating consequences.” Sullivan offers four tips for seniors dealing with student debt: -Know the true cost of student debt. Many seniors took out loans to help their dependents afford college, but 80 percent of the debt was incurred for their own education. The recession sent droves of older Americans back to school to become more competitive in the workforce, but many couldn’t pay off their debt before retirement. Seniors should seek financial guidance to understand the true impact of student debt – and to get help paying it back. Take Charge America and other nonprofit agencies provide credit counseling, debt management and student loan repayment guidance to seniors who need help.

Wells Fargo donates $63,000 to nonprofits Melanoma drug combo improves and schools in Greater Los Angeles patient survival rate, decreases risk Wells Fargo recently we can only be as strong troduced the Community of harsh side effect held their annual Greater as the communities we Connections Breakfast San Gabriel Community Connections Breakfast in which more than $63,000 was donated to nonprofit community organizations and schools across the eastern region of Los Angeles. The heartwarming annual event was held in Pasadena at Noor, where 63 Wells Fargo community bank leaders selected an organization to donate a $1,000 grant in unrestricted funding. To open the event Sandy Walia, Wells Fargo Greater San Gabriel area president; David DiCristofaro, Greater Los Angeles region president; Jonathan Weedman, head of the Wells Fargo Foundation in Los Angeles; and Congresswoman Judy Chu delivered remarks. “We are proud to continue this tradition of honoring local nonprofits and schools, because at Wells Fargo we know
serve,” said Walia. “We would like to recognize the organizations that are doing important work in our communities and helping our neighbors who need it most.” As an added bonus, this year’s event also featured the donation of a life-sized plush pony to one lucky nonprofit attendee. Congresswoman Chu randomly selected the Rosemead Rebels, the winning nonprofit, from a bowl full of the names of all 63 organizations. “This breakfast event really is my very favorite day of the year,” said DiCristofaro. “This is the one day when we are able to say ‘thank you’ for the truly significant, and often challenging, work nonprofits and schools are doing every single day to make our communities better.” Wells Fargo first in-
program in 1999 in Los Angeles to allow team members the opportunity to select community organizations to receive an unsolicited charitable contribution. Since then, Wells Fargo regions across the country have adopted the program allowing managers nationwide to participate and reach more local organizations. “In 2013, Wells Fargo donated more than $275 million across the country, with $29 million of that donated right here in Los Angeles and surrounding areas,” said Weedman. “In fact, because of this focus on philanthropic giving and volunteerism, Wells Fargo was recently named among the ‘top corporate philanthropists’ in the nation by The Chronicles of Philanthropy, and has been the leading corporate donor in Los Angeles for the past seven years.”

A UCLA researcher at the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center helped pioneer a new therapy that combines the drug Zelboraf® with an experimental drug cobimetinib, allowing metastatic melanoma patients to live longer and without the harsh side effect of a secondary skin cancer seen in some patients prescribed Zelboraf alone. In a new study coauthored by Dr. Antoni Ribas, UCLA professor of medicine (hematology and oncology) and JCCC member, researchers found that the BRAF mutation gives melanoma the signal to grow continuously as a cancer. Zelboraf taken by itself it cannot completely block that signal, but when cobimetinib is added, the combination forces the melanoma to respond better. The scientific basis of this combination is based on prior studies by Dr. Roger Lo, associate professor of medicine (dermatology) and JCCC member, who had described the mechanisms of how melanoma became resistant to Zelboraf and the addition of a drug-like cobimetinib would prevent these mechanisms. In addition, previously researchers had discovered
that a harsh side effect of a secondary cancer had developed in 25 percent of patients who had been given Zelboraf alone. "We wondered why it was that we were getting the melanoma to shrink, but another skin cancer was developing," said Dr. Ribas. It turned out that giving cobimetinib in combination with Zelboraf decreased this important side effect. An estimated 70,000 new cases of melanoma are diagnosed each year in the United States. Of those, 8,000 people will die of the disease. About 50 percent of patients with metastatic melanoma, or 4,000 people a year, have a mutated protein called BRAF mutation and can be treated with Zelboraf (also known as vemurafenib). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved use of Zelboraf in August of 2011. Dr. Ribas collaborated with 18 other researchers from the United States, Europe, Australia and Russia as last author of the study. "Now we've demonstrated the significantly increased duration of response to the therapy," said Ribas. Results of the study also showed the drug combination extended the duration of response to the
drug from a median of six months with Zelboraf alone to nine months with the combination. The data was collected internationally over a one-year period. 495 patients participated at 135 sites in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. Zelboraf was administered twice daily, in combination with cobimetinib which was taken once a day for 21 days, followed by 7 days off. Additional results also saw 20 percent of patients still suffer from some side effects, like diarrhea, rash, fatigue and edema while taking both drugs. The next step is to seek FDA approval for cobimetinib in combination with Zelboraf, in the hopes that patients with BRAF mutated metastatic melanoma will be able to benefit from the drug combination. The findings were presented during the 2014 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) conference in Madrid, Spain, September 26th-29th. The study was published online September 29th in The New England Journal of Medicine, and will later appear in the print edition on November 13th.
Double homicide in Pasadena Continued from page 1
Officers located the suspect walking in the area of Madison Avenue and Walnut Street where he was taken into custody without incident. The suspect’s clothing was bloody and he had a minor injury to his left arm. The suspect was transported to a local hospital for treatment and remains in police custody. The victim has since been identified as Larry Bressler, a popular culinary arts instructor at Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena. The second victim was his wife, Denise. Colleagues of Bressler are shocked and heartbroken, remembering him as a wonderful instructor and influence. UPDATE: Pasadena Police
arrested Jacob Mallory Bersson (White male-29, Pasadena resident) for the murder of Lawrence Bressler (White male-50) and Denise K. Bressler (White female-64) on October 13, 2014.

Foothill Gold Line releases new video “Building the light rail track system”
Life Remembered Mildred Lapson Stevens January 4, 1923 -- October 4, 2014 Dear readers, It is with a heavy heart that we let you know about the passing of one of our community icons and cherished local resident, Mildred Lapson Stevens. "Milly" as we knew her, was featured in our paper with regularity--- both for her gorgeous artwork and her wonderful long-lasting marriage. We remember Milly, and wish peace and comfort on those who knew her, and love her still. Artist Mildred Lapson Stevens, 91, pioneer and contributor to American culture, passed away October 4, 2014 surrounded by her beloved family. Mildred was born on January 4, 1923 in Brooklyn, New York to Charles and Edith (Weinshel) Lapson. She married Herbert Stevens on July 14, 1940 in Brooklyn, New York. She is survived by her husband of 74 years; Herbert Stevens; daughters; Anita (Brent) Hunsaker of Tujunga, California and Deborah (Dennis) Hutton of Bend, Oregon; three grandchildren; James Parra of Glendale, California; Melanie (William) Steinkirchner of Corona, California; Jarrod Parra of Los Angeles, California; Brian Keller of Bend, Oregon; eight great grandchildren; one niece, and three nephews. Mildred was an honor student in the first graduating class of the High School of Music and Art now based at Lincoln Center, New York. Throughout the depression years, money was hard to come by. Mildred was working in commercial art at that time. She did textile designs. She designed packages for “Ideal Toy Company” and fashion illustrations for Bloomingdale’s Department Store in New York. After making a name for herself, she began working freelance out of her own home which she called her studio. During the years of climbing the ladder, pursuing her chosen career of a fine artist, it was difficult
as a female to get ahead in a field that was mainly dominated by males. Mildred was determined to succeed in her career as a fine artist and teacher, so in order for her work to speak for itself and not her gender she dropped her first name from her professional signature. By keeping her signature genderanonymous, her work could compete fairly in t h e art
world. Mildred also taught at Pasadena City College, instructing students in drawing, painting, and art history for over forty-five years. She received numerous awards and accolades over the years. Final resting place is at Mount Sinai Memorial Park in Los Angeles, California. Services were held Sunday, October 5, 2014. But let's hear more about Mildred--she was also an accomplished pianist, and a gourmet chef. She and Herb, a linguist and highly decorated World War II Navy veteran, though married for 74 years, knew each other for more than 77! She once told us the secret to that long-lasting love was, "When you're handed lemons, you make lemonade... plus, we laugh a lot!" Before they were mar-
ried in 1940, when she was only 17, Milly told Herb that no one, not even he, would be able to keep her from pursuing the art career she was passionate about. Herb agreed, and became a steadfast partner in artistic enterprises. In Monrovia, in 1963, Mildred Lapson founded the Monrovia Art Festival that continues to this day. She's listed i n
"Who's Who of American Art," and Milly let us know, "During the U.S. Bi-Centennial, the Department of Justice and Immigration chose my work to tour the U.S. in all the major museums and Presidential Libraries for three years. At the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, President Ronald Reagan and Nancy Regan hosted a gala reception!" In addition to her works shown in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, NY; the Wadsworth Athenaeum Museum, Hartford, CT; Los Angeles County Museum, CA; the Frye museum, Seattle, WA; and Plymouth Hall Museum, Plymouth, MA to name a few among over fifty major museums and galleries across the country, Lapson's works are also included in numerous private and corporate collections in the United
States and abroad, and are included in the Permanent Collection and Archives of the Pasadena Museum of History, Pasadena CA; the Permanent Collection and Archives of the Colchester Historical Society, Colchester, CT; the Permanent Collection and Archives of the Monrovia Historical Museum, Monrovia, CA; the Permanent Collection and Archives of California's State Theater; the Pasadena Playhouse; the Archives of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C.; and the Permanent Collection in Perpetuity of the Ellis Island Museum, at Statue of Liberty Island, NY. Even when she retired, Milly continued to do guest lectures, critiques and to jury Art Competitions throughout the U.S. including Catalina Island and Hawaii. Milly said about her philosophy, "Light emphasizes the forms of life, and makes me strongly aware of the dimensions of the dark. As in the facets of life, it is impossible for me to feel one without the other. Rays of light punctuate the prisms of brilliance on the jewels of life, which light my way in the creative expression of my art. "To express my aesthetic feeling of a subject, be it an old boot, the time of day or year, a ripple of water, music, a person, a mob, a breeze, a piece of satin or burlap, heat, laughter, sadness, rain, fog, or an event...I must feel the close touch both physically and emotionally. Every sense must be stirred. "Since art in every age is a reflection of life, I feel that it is important to have a deep appreciation of its varied facets, and to be empathetic to human nature." We at Beacon Media pay tribute to a wonderful teacher, student of life, and master artist whose deep love and passion for art, for her family, and for humanity will never be forgotten. Goodbye, Milly. We miss you already.
The Foothill Gold Line from Pasadena to Azusa today released a new and informative video, “Building the Light Rail Track: A Step-byStep Overview,” on its website and YouTube channels. This new video provides a five-step overview of the process involved in installing the light rail track system for the 11.5-mile Foothill Gold Line light rail project from Pasadena to Azusa. The video release kicks off a week of celebration, as the first Measure R-funded rail project to break ground four years ago now hits a major milestone with all 28-miles of light rail track needed for the project in place. “On Saturday, October 18th, we will be celebrating with our community the completion of all light rail track installation for the project,” stated Foothill Gold Line CEO Habib F. Balian. “This is an important milestone for the project, which allows us to begin testing the system later this year and continues our progress on time and on budget for a turn over to Metro in
September 2015.” More than 300 project stakeholders, community members, and elected officials are expected to participate at the Track Completion Ceremony the morning of October 18, 2014. During the Track Completion Ceremony, the final rail clip will be driven into place, marking the permanent connection between the cities of Pasadena, Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Irwindale and Azusa, via this new light rail line. “Our communities are eager to finally see the train arrive,” added Balian. “Although they understand that we are still a year away from construction completion, they are ready to celebrate this milestone in the life of this nearly $1 billion project and what it means to the future of their cities and our region.” The new “Building the Light Rail Track: A Step-byStep Overview” video is available via the following link: http://www.foothillgoldline. org/news/videos/building-thetrack-system-a-step-by-stepoverview/

Go to filedba.com Monrovia City Notices ORDINANCE NO. 2014-08 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 2 (ADMINISTRATION AND PERSONNEL) ESTABLISHING POWERS AND TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING A PROCEDURE FOR REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. In May 2001, Attorney General Bill Lockyer wrote an open letter to California Mayors urging cities to adopt a reasonable accommodation ordinance. Mr. Lockyer cited the federal Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (“FEHA”) in support of his appeal. Both acts impose an affirmative duty on local governments to make reasonable accommodations in their zoning regulations and practices when such accommodations “may be necessary to afford” disabled persons “an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.” The State of California also requires that cities adopt reasonable accommodation procedures as part of the State’s Housing Element requirements. The City’s recent Housing Element approval from the California Department of Housing and Community Development was conditioned on the City’s adoption of a reasonable accommodation ordinance. Therefore, City Staff has prepared Ordinance No. 2014-08 to amend Title 2 (Administration and Personnel) and Title 17 (Zoning) of the City’s Municipal Code. SECTION 2. On July 9, 2014, the Planning Commission of the City of Monrovia conducted a duly noticed public hearing on Ordinance No. 2014-08. At the hearing, all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard. The Planning Commission received and considered the staff report and all of the information, evidence, and testimony presented in connection with this Ordinance. Following the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PCR2014-09 recommending approval of Ordinance No. 2014-08. SECTION 3. On September 16, 2014, the City Council of the City of Monrovia conducted a duly noticed public hearing on Ordinance No. 2014-08. At the hearing, all interested persons were given an opportunity to be heard. The City Council received and considered the staff report and all the information, evidence, and testimony presented in connection with this Ordinance. SECTION 4. Environmental Review Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, City Staff has determined that Ordinance 2014-08 is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. City Staff has determined that the adoption of this Ordinance will not have a significant environmental effect and therefore, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR § 15061(b)(3)), and independently, the Ordinance is categorically exempt (class 5) pursuant to Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR § 15305). The City Council has reviewed the project and based upon the whole record before it, in the exercise of its independent judgment and analysis, concurs that City staff has correctly concluded that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, and independently, that the Ordinance meets the qualifications of a class 5 categorical exemption. SECTION 5. The custodian of records for all materials that constitute the record of proceeding upon which this decision is based is the City Clerk. Those documents are available for public review in the Office of the City Clerk located at 415 South Ivy Avenue, Monrovia, California 91016. SECTION 6. This Ordinance is consistent with the objectives, principles, and standards included in the General Plan. The Housing Element of the General Plan adopted a policy and program to promote housing opportunities for persons with disabilities through the adoption and implementation of a reasonable accommodation procedure. SECTION 7. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of the Ordinance have occurred.
october 16, 2014 - october 22, 2014 | 31 is hereby amended by adding a new section 17.52.327 titled “Reasonable Accommodations” which shall read as follows: “17.52.327 Reasonable Accommodations.

(B) Definition. REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION.

(4) When an application is made, the city may engage in an interactive process with the applicant to devise alternative accommodations that provide the applicant an opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling, where such alternative accommodations would reduce impacts to neighboring properties or the surrounding area. (D) Public Hearing. The Committee shall hold a public hearing on the application for a reasonable accommodation. Notice of the public hearing shall be mailed or delivered at least ten days prior to the hearing to all owners of real property, as shown on the latest equalized assessment roll, within 100 feet of the real property that is the subject of the hearing. In lieu of utilizing the assessment roll, the city may utilize records of the County Assessor or Tax Collector which contain more recent information than the assessment roll. (E) Findings. A request for a reasonable accommodation shall be approved, with or without conditions, if the reviewing authority finds that all of the following findings can be made: (1) That the dwelling, which is the subject of the request for reasonable accommodation, shall be used by an individual with a disability who is protected under State or Federal fair housing laws. (2) That the requested accommodation is necessary to afford an individual with a disability equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.
SECTION 8. Title 2 (Administration and Personnel), Chapter 2.56 (Development Review Committee), Section 2.56.030 (Powers), of the Monrovia Municipal Code is hereby amended by adding subsection 2.56.030 (U) which shall read as follows:

“(U) Reasonable Accommodation. The Committee shall have the power to hear and approve, conditionally approve, or deny reasonable accommodations pursuant to Section 17.52.327 of this code.”
(4) That the requested accommodation will not require a fundamental alteration to the city’s zoning, building, or land use laws, regulations, policies and/or procedures.
SECTION 9. Title 17 (Zoning), Chapter 17.52 (Administration)
(F) Decision. The Committee may approve, approve with
conditions, or deny a request for reasonable accommodation in accordance with these findings. (1) The Committee shall set forth the findings and any conditions of approval in a written decision.

Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or place, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance, and each and every section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional. SECTION 11.

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.

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.

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 this 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.
