Dorothy's Place Less than serious

By Dorothy Denne A couple of you have told me that I've been a little too serious lately. Well okay, let's see if we can lighten up a bit with these gems from an old e-mail in my file: As I was lying around, pondering the problems of the world, I realized that at my age it doesn't matter anymore....If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, but is still fat. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, while a tortoise doesn't run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years.

And you tell me to exercise?? I don't think so. Also, now that I'm older I've discovered: 1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it. 2. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes. 3. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart. 4. Funny, I don't remember being forgetful. 5. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it? 6. It was a whole lot easier to get older than to get wiser. 7. Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant. 8. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. 9. The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

10. Kids in the back seat cause accidents, accidents in the back seat cause kids. 11. It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere. 12. The world only beats a path to your door when you're in the bathroom. 13. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he'd have put them on my knees. 14. It's not hard to meet expenses...they're everywhere. 15. When I'm finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess. And finally: 16. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter. I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm 'here after'.

Local author to speak Veteran’s Day Weekend Local author Susan S. Rosvall will speak about her new book Silence Is Broken in a way that both entertains and informs the audience on Saturday, November 8, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. at the Arcadia Public Library. Her book is an historical novel based on her brother’s one-year deployment to Vietnam in 1966. At the end of the slideshow and talk, the author will be available for book purchases and book signing. “Thematically, Silence Is Broken goes beyond the plot-driven story of a soldier. It’s about self-reliance and personal courage. It’s about metamorphic qualities of war and the healing power of empathy. At the broadest and most universal level, it’s about informed citizenship and the just use of deadly force.” Excerpt from the website http://www. silenceisbrokenthenovel.com/ book.php It is more than just a story about one soldier’s experience in Vietnam, but of the Civil Rights Movement and how its influence played out during this time. With the upcoming fiftieth anniversary of the fall of Saigon and the Civil Rights Movement, this should be a thought-provoking and informative talk that you won’t want to miss.

Foothill Unity Center seeking turkeys, food, funds, volunteer time for Thanksgiving Foothill Unity Center is gearing up for its annual Thanksgiving food distribution in partnership with its eleven-city community. The distribution for families will be held on Monday, November 24, at Ayers Hall at the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia. A second distribution for individuals will be held Tuesday, November 25, at the Center’s Monrovia and Pasadena locations. The Center is seeking donations of food, turkeys, funds, food drives and volunteer time for the Thanksgiving event and its upcoming Holiday Distribution in December. Funds may be donated securely online at foothillunitycenter.org. Food and checks may be dropped off weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at either Center location: 415 W. Chestnut Ave. in Monrovia or 191 N. Oak Ave. in Pasadena. Thanksgiving is an especially difficult holiday for families who are struggling to survive, says Center Executive Director Betty McWilliams. “Last year, we sent more than 1,116 preregistered families home with bountiful food boxes sized for their families, containing all the elements for a festive Thanksgiving dinner,” she says. The experience of sharing this meal in their own homes is something they wouldn’t otherwise have been able to enjoy.” Information on Thanksgiving volunteer shifts is available at foothillunitycenter.org/thanksgiving-and-holiday-distribu-

tion-programs or by calling the Center at (626) 3583486. Photos of last year’s events can be viewed in the online Photo Gallery. The Thanksgiving Distribution is just one aspect of the Center’s year-round Family Food Program, which provided 35,190 food services last year. Each month, clients receive a grocery cart of food items, sized by number of people in the family to supplement needs for 7-10 days. They may return to pick up perishable food items once a week, including fresh produce, dairy and baked goods. The Center also delivers monthly food packages to qualified homebound senior and disabled clients, and gave 4,749 substantial bag lunches (enough for about two days) to homeless or those who have no place to store or cook food. Its volunteer-run Pet Food Bank helped families keep over 1,000 pets last year. The Center also provides referrals to over 100 organizations for crisis and housing assistance, employment counseling, and much more. Its Health Services Child Health Connection program connects children with urgent health care needs to free and low-cost care, helps uninsured clients enroll for low-cost insurance coverage, and conducts health screenings and education seminars. It also operates a Medical Outreach Clinic in partnership with the Community Health Alliance of Pasadena (ChapCare) providing health and dental care to homeless and uninsured adult clients.

Holly Avenue E-Waste Drive - October 25 The Holly Avenue PTA and the First Avenue Middle School PTSA are sponsoring an E-waste Drive on Saturday, October 25th, to take place from 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM in the Holly Avenue School parking lot at 360 W. Duarte Road in Arcadia. Many types of electronics will be accepted, including computers, telephones and telephone equipment,

television and computer monitors, printers, fax machines, scanners, keyboards, copiers, DVD players, stereo equipment, miscellaneous computer parts and cords, lamps, toasters, and nearly anything that plugs in. Drop off your unused electronics. All proceeds will benefit the student gardens at Holly Avenue Elementary School and First Avenue Middle School.

Hillsides receives record $2 Million bequest Hillsides has received a $2 million bequest, the largest in its 101-year-old history. The bequest is from the Pierose estate, and is the result of a planned gift made to Hillsides upon the death of Dorothy Pierose in July, 2013. Dorothy Pierose was a long-time supporter of Hillsides and former resident of Pasadena, CA. She was married to Perry N. Pierose, M.D., a prominent physician in Los Angeles County who died in 1990. In recent years, she lived in Corona Del Mar, CA. The bequest will be used to fund Hillsides capital campaign, a $12 million project to improve Hillsides’ aging main campus in Pasadena, CA. The campus houses a residential treatment program for 62 children and a school for children with special needs. The improvements include a new expressive arts center with almost double the art space than now exists and a new music room, a large indoor recreation area and gym, expanded playing fields, a modernized kitchen, and a spacious and welcoming dining commons. One million dollars of the bequest will go directly into the capital campaign and $1 million will be reserved as a pool of matching funds to generate new contributions to the campaign from October 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015. “This gift comes at an extraordinary time for Hillsides, and we are honored and humbled to be the recipient,” said Hillsides chief executive officer Joseph M.

Costa. “With this donation, Hillsides capital campaign cabinet has now raised more than $6 million, and the bequest has the possibility of raising up to $2 million more. This gives our campaign a huge boost and supports Hillsides evolution as the leader for family-centered treatment and education services in Southern California.” Hillsides capital campaign members are co-chairs Deborah L.S. Booth (San Marino) and Donald P. Clark (Pasadena); members Donna B. Ford Esq. (La Canada), Samuel Garrison (Pasadena), Mary Dee Hacker Glendale), Dick Hirrel (San Marino), Kelly M. Johnson (Pasadena), Brent M.Mason (Pasadena), Tina B. Nieves Esq. (Pasadena), Steve Nishibayashi, M.D. (Glendale), Bill Noce (Pasadena), Susan Noce (Pasadena), Karen Tanji (La Canada), Jeffrey C. Welch

(Manhattan Beach), and Katherine Newhall Yundt (San Marino). Hillsides began 101 years ago as an orphanage on the site of what is today the Pasadena campus. Since then, Hillsides has grown into a multi-faceted provider of behavioral and educational services serving more than 7,500 individuals throughout Los Angeles County. Hillsides provides high quality care, advocacy, and innovative services that promote safe, permanent environments where young people can thrive.

Volunteer Center of San Gabriel Valley

It takes more than just one day to make a difference

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com

By susan motander

Same old song and dance

This Saturday is Make a Difference Day. For many years the Volunteer Center for San Gabriel Valley (VCSGV) has coordinated the projects for this day of community improvement projects especially in Monrovia and Duarte. This year is no different. There will be plenty of opportunities help make a difference with more than 30 projects planned. But this is only a part of what the center does. The VCSGV has been in existence since 1943. It is supported by donations, sponships and increasingly by revenue from its Court Referral program. This program receives a fee for supervising the court mandated community service required by various courts. The fee comes from the individuals performing the community service. The Center also coordinates Meals on Wheels in this area. More than 1000 meals are delivered to senior shutins, the disabled and physi-

cally challenged persons each day of the week. The drivers for Meals on Wheels are volunteers themselves. According to Penny Arroyo, the center’s director, many of these drivers do more than just deliver the meals. “They are sometimes the only personal contact the clients have each day,” they said. The center also works with other agencies in the area. They have a partnership with Pacific Clinics, the mental health service, to mentor adults and assist them in re-entering the workforce. This is their Hearts in Training program. There is also the National Day of Volunteerism for which the center has several partners including the Duarte and Monrovia Youth Teem Summits and the Monrovia Area Partnership. This year the Center is embarking on a new program: Scholarships. The center will award three scholarships with applications be-

ing available on November 1 from the center's offices. There is a $500 scholarship named for Louise Osbrink, a Monrovia resident, now in her 90s who has dedicated more than half her life giving her time and ideas to various volunteer efforts in this area. The other two scholarships are for $250 each. Each scholarship requires a written essay in addition to a basic application. The requirements for each scholarship essay are slightly different. The VCSGV has three offices including one in East L.A., one at the Pasadena Courthouse and the third in the Monrovia Community Center, 119 West Palm, Monrovia. For more information on Make a Difference Day, and Scholarships, see their website, VCSGV - Volunteer Center of San Gabriel Valley. Volunteers for Make a Difference Day this Saturday, may also contact Yenier Leyva by phone at (626)256-8187 or at yenier@vcsgv.org.

At a recent Sierra Madre City Council Meeting, a local citizen went to the prodium and asked a number of questions: 1). Why haven't we bought the extra water needs from Arcadia, which the Council voted on and why are we using MWD water which the Council did not vote on and the City Administration decided to use? 2). Why hasn't the City Manager supplied written information in response to the written requests as required by State law? 3). When are the answers to the requests for information on what happened to the cash balance of the CRA when it was dissolved? 4). Why don't we repair the tunnel so that it will yield not only a greater supply, but also drinkable water and why don't we drill for more tunnels since we would gain a greater supply exclusively? Arcadia has six wells above Foothill and we only have four and three of those need repairs. The Mayor answered his first question by saying that the Council never voted to buy water from Arcadia.

His memory apparently doesn't go back for over a year ago when he and the previous Council voted to buy Arcadia water, but was held up by the need to lay 200 sq. ft. of pipe to connect the Arcadia pipeline to the City's reservoir, which couldn't be done immediately because of the extended season of the Little League Baseball, after which the City forces completed the pipeline in July of 2013. He also said they voted to bring water from the MWD, which is also false. The City is obtaining water from the MWD pipeline, but the contract is with the SGVMWD, and the cost is through the use of the 4,000 acre feet of credits that were accrued from the property tax revenue that the water district has received for a great number of years. The Council did vote to purchase future credits for future use, but there is no evidence that any check has been written even though the vote was last May. The City Manager answered question two by saying she had supplied written information already. She did not say that she only sup-

plied half of the requested information. She also said the reply to question three would come next week, which of course is more than a month later as required by law. The fourth question was answered by a twofold answer. First, to drill a tunnel costs money and secondly there is no guarantee that the tunnel will yield water. The same could be said by drilling another well, but that would only draw water from the same aquifer. The City has two tunnels that have yielded water for more years than the people can remember. The City had a third tunnel in the City, but it was abandoned because it required repairs. There are four tunnels in the City that are privately owned and have been yielding water all along. Success is far more likely with a new tunnel than drilling another well. It's the same old song and dance. Don't do anything to increase the supply of water so that we can charge more for each gallon that we supply. Only two things are certain, death and taxes! Sierra Madre Watchman

Dear Editor: Approximately 2 years ago, the City of Sierra Madre stopped watering some of the City owned land, specifically the area around City Hall. They did this in order to demonstrate to the citizens of the City that they were serious about cutting back on water use, especially landscaping. Since then, the citizens have responded and followed suit, in that, not only does City Hall look like a blighted area but many of the properties in the City look horrible. Not only have the lawns died, but plants and trees. Now, if I remember my science classes, don't lawns, plants and trees give off oxygen in the atmosphere which

the City and other entities going to donate and help restore to the citizens their landscapes to make it once again a very beautiful city to live in? And since the City has mandated water use cutbacks of 30% since July 2014, from an original 20% cutback from 2012 usage, and has implemented water rate increases for the next 5 years, what is this City going to look like in the near future? Hopefully, someone in government will come to their senses and look out for the citizens, their property values, their lifestyles, their love of the community, and not think about what is good for City Hall.

Why should I donate any money to City Hall landscaping when I have had to cut back 30% water usage and much of my landscaping has died, and I can't afford to replace it?

Letters to the Editor (Cont.) Station Fire

Dear Editor: Everyone must have a short memory forgetting the Station Fire. If the USFS did not start the fire they sure did not put it out. Now with Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the western Angeles burned down you want to give the Fed the eastern side of the forest to burn???

All the USFS had to do was drive up the newly repaired fire road and put the fire out. This was a slow burn not racing across the mountains like in the 60's fires. What make sense is transfer to the state under management of the counties with 24/7 helicopter patrols by 2 helicopters with standby

firefighting helicopters from every airport and heliport next to the mountains. Locally the proposed use of El Monte vacant hangar and Rialto airport for a helicopter assembly plant will further protect the forest. Bryan Ranger 30 years Avionics and Defense Electronics Engineering

Arcadia PD receives grant for special traffic enforcement and crash prevention The Arcadia Police Department has been awarded a $130,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for a year-long program of special enforcements and public awareness efforts to prevent traffic related deaths and injuries. The Arcadia Police Department will use the funding as part of the city’s ongoing commitment to keep our roadways safe and improve the quality of life through both enforcement and education. The Arcadia Police Department benefits from this grant by enhancing the department’s current traffic philosophy that embraces educating our community regarding traffic safety and enforcing hazardous traffic violations that place the city’s residents and

visitors at risk. As with last year, the grant will provide advanced, specialized training for Arcadia Police Department personnel and will create even more opportunities for our officers to be visible throughout the community. We have every reason to believe the combined efforts of the Office of Traffic Safety and the Arcadia Police Department will have an impact in reducing the number of people injured or killed in traffic collisions. After falling dramatically between 2006 and 2010, the number of persons killed and injured in traffic collisions saw slight increases in 2011 and 2012. Particularly worrisome are recent increases in pedestrian and motorcycle fatalities and the dangers of dis-

tracting technologies. This grant funding will provide opportunities to combat these and other devastating problems such as drunk and drugged driving and speeding. “California’s roadways are still among the safest in the nation,” said OTS Director Rhonda Craft. “But to meet future mobility, safety, and sustainability objectives, we must create safer roadways for all users. The Arcadia Police Department will be using these and other resources to reach the vision we all share – Toward zero deaths, every 1 counts.” Funding for this program is from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Citrus College confers Associate Degrees to Japanese American students; Toshio Asano, 91, graduated from Monrovia High School at the outbreak of WWII By Terry Miller During a brief but poignant ceremony Tuesday, Citrus College’s Dr. Patricia A. Rasmussen presented Toshio Asano and the late Masako Mukai Kusomoto with Honorary Degree Ceremony. Asano and Kusomoto were Citrus College students whose education was interrupted during the 19411942 academic year as a result of Executive Order 9066 which was a United States presidential executive order signed and issued during World War II by the United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, authorizing the Secretary of War to prescribe certain areas as military zones. Eventually, EO 9066 cleared the way for the deportation of Japanese Americans to internment camps. The executive order was spurred by a combination of war hysteria and reactions to the Niihau Incident., which resulted in the internment of

Japanese Americans during World War II. Masako Mukai Kusumoto: Ms. Mukai Kusumoto received her high school diploma from Citrus Union High School in 1936 and later returned to begin her college studies at Citrus Junior College. In 1942, during her fourth semester, Executive Order 9066 in-terrupted her studies. Her permanent record card states that she "left March 26, 1942 for war measure for Japanese." In 1943, Ms. Mukai Kusumoto attended Iowa State Teachers College, now University of Northern Iowa, in Michigan. She returned to Hawaii in 1945, where she taught school on a sugar plantation in her childhood neighborhood and later specialized in reading and taught grade school. She inspired several of her nieces and nephews to become teachers. Ms. Mukai Kusumoto passed away in 1980 in Wailuku, Maui.

Toshio Asano: Mr. Asano, a graduate of Monrovia High School, attended Citrus Junior College from September, 1941 through March 1942, creating a strong legacy in athletics. Mr. Asano's education was cut short by Executive Order 9066 when he and his family were forced to evacuate to the Heart Mountain internment camp in Wyoming. While at Heart Mountain Mr. Asano was drafted into the U.S. Army and became an interpreter, serving in the Philippines and Japan. The Army also recognized his athleticism and Mr. Asano played softball in the Army Olympics. Upon his discharge in 1945, Mr. Asano returned to Monrovia where he continued to play softball for the next 20 years, playing semi-pro baseball with the Little Tokyo Giants and later pitching in a softball industrial league until his early 50s. He worked for MidWay Ford

until his retirement. Mr. Asano was married in 1949 and has two daughters The Honorary Degree Ceremony is an initiative of the California Nisei College Diploma Project, a statewide effort in which the University of California, California State University and California

Community Colleges locate individuals who were affected by Executive Order 9066 and confer their degrees. Now observing its Centennial year, the Citrus College President Dr. Geraldine M. Perri said the community is proud to honor Mr. Asano and Mrs.

Kusomoto by presenting the degrees they earned during the 1941-1942 academic year. “It is a privilege to join the California Community Colleges, California State University and the University of California in recognizing these distinguished citizens,” she said.

Man charged with killing Pasadena couple

Foothill Gold Line in Azusa

Continued from page 1

that holds to rail to the ties. Somehow, installing an e-clip does not seem to have the stirring sense of completion that the concept of driving a golden spike creates. There was a golden sledgehammer on hand, but, sadly, its use was not required in the installation of the clip. The gathering was held near the new Downtown Azusa Metro Station adjacent to its old Santa Fe Railroad Station. This station is one of two in Azusa (the other being adjacent to Citrus and Azusa Pacific University). There are 12 stations on the existing route from downtown Los Angeles to Pasadena (not counting Union Station in L.A.). Six of these are in Pasadena itself. The Gold Line Foothill extension will add six more stations. In addition to the two in Azusa, there will be stations in Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte and Irwindale. Each station has art work complementary to that community. The celebration of the completion of the track was a major step toward the completion of

the project. The entire project includes at-grade street crossings, bridges, stations, utilities, parking lots and structures as well as the light rail maintenance and operations facility in Monrovia. Completion of the entire project is projected for September 2015, just eleven months away. When completed the extension will be turned over to Metro which will conduct testing prior to the line being opened to the public. The dignitaries on hand on Saturday spoke glowingly of the cooperation of various agencies and entities in completing the project on time and on budget, an uncommon feat those in attendance were repeatedly reminded. The other oftrepeated line was that this portion of the Gold Line should not be its final phase. Congresswoman Grace Napolitano called for those present to urge all their elected officials to complete the project and take the Gold Line all the way to the Ontario Airport. “We need you to raise your collective

voices and learn to get involved." she said. Currently plans are being completed to extend the Gold Line to Montclair, the L.A./San Bernardino County Line. Doug Tessitor, Gold Line Construction Authority Chairman, expanded on that theme saying: “We need to secure the funding to get to Montclair. Then we need San Bernardino County authorities to get on board to get to the airport.” Tessitor pointed out that the cities of the San Gabriel Valley had worked together to bring the Gold Line to the valley. “We would not be here without that cooperation,” he said, adding “We need partnerships to get us to the airport on the east.” Not everyone was content with going only to the Ontario Airport. Metro Director Ara Najarian, raised the issue of going westward from Pasadena to join the Orange Line in the other valley and connecting in that way to the Bob Hope (Burbank) Airport.

A 29-year-old man accused of fatally stabbing his cousin and his cousin’s wife was charged today with capital murder, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Jacob Mallory Bersson (DOB 4/9/85) has been charged with two counts of murder with a special circumstance allegation of multiple murders in case GA094945. The defendant was scheduled to be arraigned, but the court appearance was continued for later, Oct. 16, in Department

C of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Pasadena Branch. Additionally, the felony complaint contains a special allegation that the defendant personally used a deadly and dangerous weapon, a knife, in the commission of the crime. Prosecutors said at that the time of the killing, Bersson was living with his cousin Lawrence Bressler and his wife Denise Bressler at their Pasadena apartment. On the morning of Oct. 13, Bersson reportedly forced

his way into the Bressler’s bedroom and stabbed them to death. Soon after the incident, the defendant was arrested in connection with the stabbings. The District Attorney’s Office will decide at a later time whether to seek the death penalty against the defendant or life in prison without the possibility of parole. Bersson is being held without bail. The case is being investigated by the Pasadena Police Department.

Immigration official sentenced to 30 months in prison for soliciting bribes An immigration service officer with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) who took thousands of dollars in bribes from immigrants who were seeking either citizenship or lawful permanent resident status in the United States was sentenced today to 30 months in federal prison. Mai Nhu Nguyen, 48, of Irvine, was sentenced by United States

District Judge Josephine L. Staton. From 2011 through June 2013, Nguyen solicited and took bribes from Vietnamese immigrants. In one case, Nguyen took $1,000 from an immigrant seeking a “Green Card” and 200 egg rolls from an immigrant seeking citizenship. Nguyen, who worked at USCIS’s Santa Ana office for approximately eight years

and is now on leave, was an immigration service officer with the power to approve or deny applications for immigration benefits that are submitted by immigrants. The case against Nguyen is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General.

200 students and teachers evacuated after students release Pepper Spray at Canyon Oaks High

At The Kensington, we’ll remember what your loved ones are beginning to forget Introducing two unique levels of memory care

f your Mom was an amazing baker who loved yellow lilies or if your Dad was a decorated colonel who started every day with strong, black coffee, we’ll be sure to know. We will acquaint ourselves with the meaningful details of your loved ones’ lives. Then, when memory fades, we will help them revisit the pleasure of past times, even if only moments. We will care for them—and you— as progressive memory loss occurs. The Kensington’s memory care programs are highly personalized. Two distinctive “neighborhoods”—Connections and Haven— feature support that accommodates residents with different degrees of memory loss. Connections residents are in the early to middle stages of dementia. They can independently engage in activities that give purpose to each day. Haven residents are in the middle to late stages of dementia. They need a higher level of clinical assistance and soothing care that increases comfort and reduces agitation. Connections and Haven neighborhoods are cozy, intimate environments. Here, loving professionals honor the past but “meet residents where they are” now. By making the most of their strengths, they make today as joyful as possible. Call us to schedule a visit or to learn more about expert memory care coming to Sierra Madre this fall

Monrovia Firefighters evacuated buildings at Canyon High School as a precaution after some initially unknown substance caused students’ eyes to water in a chemistry lab on Monday afternoon. Monrovia Police and fire responded to the afternoon call and evacuated the entire school and nearby Education Center as a precaution. Roads to the school were all blocked off by Monrovia PD. Eventually the Fire Dept. determined the irritant to be Pepper Spray, according to Katherine Thorossian,

By Terry Miller Superintendent of Schools in Monrovia. Two students, a boy and a girl, were responsible for bringing the pepper spray to school and subsequently releasing some of the irritant in class. Thorossian said those responsible for the incident will be dealt with according to school policy. Three students were transported to hospital as a precautionary measure after they had difficulty breathing. Those students were later released after being treated for contact with the Pepper Spray. Monrovia issued a Nixel alert and anxious

parents rushed to the school to retrieve their loved ones. Meanwhile scanner traffic indicated that 7 students were to be treated by paramedics for minor eye irritations Most students bussed home or parents picked up children at 1:30 PM. By 2:30 all units were cleared from the school according to scanner traffic. California law states that if you are 18 or over and have not been convicted of a felony or assault, any pepper spray is legal to ship/use/carry in the state of California.

“Come For A Day And Stay For A Lifetime.”

Chu's NRA proposal Continued from page 1

Bernardino National Forests as the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. That particular action is distinct and different from the proposed legislation introduced by Congresswoman Judy Chu (HR 4858), which sought to create the San Gabriel Mountains National Recreation Area. But what does it mean? “The action taken by to President to declare the National Monument was conducted under the auspices of the Antiquities Act. It is important to note that under the order, only federal lands are included in the National Monument designation, which means that no property owned by the City was impacted as a result of the Presidential action,” according to Monrovia Councilman Larry Spicer. According to numerous NRA opponents, The San Gabriel Mountains National Monumen is a “surprising bypass of the democratic process and did not follow standard protocol for creating National Monuments, which usually require years of formal study and community outreach.” In point of fact, many have called the Chu bill and subsequent National Monument a “land grab.” Two months ago, on August 18, Congresswoman Judy Chu asked the President to use his executive order to fast-track her legislative bill, HR4858, which calls for the creation of a “San Gabriel Mountains National Recreation Area.” This bill is being reviewed by a Congressional committee and does not currently have enough support to pass. The president has apparently used the Antiquities Act of 1906 to create this National Monumentwhich he is legally entitled to do. The National Recreation Area requested by Congresswoman Chu’s HR4858 is not be interchangeable with a National Monument because they have differing land use implications and legal consequences which have not been studied, according to numerous reports. Additionally, some local elected leaders have concerns over the impact to

our water supply if the San Gabriel River is included in a National Monument. Many foothill cities receive their drinking water from this river, which could be restricted. Additionally, recreation access and land usage will be altered if this plan is implemented. New fees and permits are expected for winter sports, off road biking and hiking, and ATVs. Originally, Rep. Chu stated that an additional 270,000 acres, the San Bernardino Mountains, were also going to be included, but after mountains of objections from local leaders she backed down this week and removed San Bernardino and Mt. Baldy from the plan. Opposition too came from Monrovia. “However, under the National Recreation Area proposal that was advanced by Congresswoman Chu, many parcels of private property, including land currently owned by the City of Monrovia, would have been absorbed and taken over as a federal recreation area. "Given these distinctions, the actions of the President to declare the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument does not currently have any impact on property owned by the City of Monrovia. It is still unclear at this time, though, if there will be any future actions taken by Congresswoman Chu and / or the federal government to continue pursuit of a National Recreation Area. If those efforts persist, they could result in an impact on land owned by the City. "It is important to point out that the City of Monrovia did not take any official position on the National Monument designation. Furthermore, the City did request that Congresswoman Chu remove the City of Monrovia from being included in the boundaries of her proposed National Recreation Area legislation.” Spicer concluded, “I understand, however, that Monrovia’s Mayor, Mary Ann Lutz, did attend the event where President Obama signed the order declaring the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Given that the

City did not take an official position on the matter, the Mayor’s presence at the function should not be taken as an indication of the City’s support for the National Monument matter.” Tom Adams told Beacon Media that “(Mayor) Lutz has worked both ends against the middle, she worked for it for political gain, then when the community was upset she said she was really against it. Sad.” Meanwhile, Mary Ann Lutz told Beacon Media “The City letter did not oppose the legislation, but asked that our city land, parks, and wilderness preserve property be removed from the legislation boundaries. As to the question of water regarding the NRA bill I believe the San Gabriel Valley Water Association has endorsed the bill and they are the ones that have been working with the Congresswoman about water rights. “I can report to you some clarifications. The Monrovia City Council requested that Congresswoman Chu remove our city property from the National Recreation Area legislation. The City letter did not oppose the legislation, but asked that our city land, parks, and wilderness preserve property be removed from the legislation boundaries. As to the question of water regarding the NRA bill I believe the San Gabriel Valley Water Association has endorsed the bill and they are the ones that have been working with the Congresswoman about water rights. Again they are a better more accurate source. “Regarding the National Monument designation, the City of Monrovia did not take any position on this designation. One point about the National Monument designation since only applies to federal land, the City’s request to remove our city park and wilderness preserve is moot here since it is not federal land. “Regarding the ceremony of the signing of the National Monument. I was personally invited by the White House as a citizen to attend, not representing the City of Monrovia.”

Monrovia Council meeting

Continued from page 1

input section on items not on the agenda took up the full 45 minutes allotted to it at the beginning of the meeting, and proclamations and presentations accounted for almost as much time, it was one issue on the City Council agenda and another on the Successor Agency’s which garnered the balance of attention. The City Council discussed the renewal of the contract with Family Festival Productions to continue to manage the Old Town Friday Night Festivals and the Successor Agency has the sale of one of the Redevelopment Agency properties near Station Square on its agenda. Questions of propriety and transparency were raised in regard to both items. The City of Monrovia has had agreements with

Family Festival Productions, Inc. (FFPI) through its principal, Dave Gayman, to run its Friday Night Festivals since 2002 when the city took over operating the festival. The following year the city sent out a Request for Proposal for running the Festivals. Four companies that replied to the RFP, and the responses were reviewed by the Mayor’s Old Town Advisory Board (MOTAB). FFPI was ultimately recommended by MOTAB and a two-year contract with three one-year extensions was approved by City Council. In 2006 another five-year contract was approved. In 2007, FFPI began to be delinquent in its payments of franchise tax fees to the city. These issues were resolved by FFPI working off the amounts owed through events services

throughout the years in 2007 and 2008. Over the years the City has renegotiated the contract amounts due from FFPI because of the downturn in revenues and FFPI has repeatedly been allowed to work off the amounts due by providing services at other events. In 2011 another threeyear contract was approved. This agreement is set to expire on December 31, 2014. According to the staff report submitted to the council, both the Contractor (FFPI) and the City have the option of extending the term to December 2016. The staff recommended that the city instead enter into a new contract with FFPI for an additional threeyear contract with two more one-year extensions. This suggestion was met with several comments from the public. Several people, including Pam Fitzpatrick, one of the owners of Dollmakers/ Kattywompus, the toy and music store on Myrtle Avenue, spoke in favor of the recommendation citing the need for continuing the festival without interruptions. She did note, however, that in the past the MOTAB had been asked its opinion on the continuation of the contract and that that had not been done this time. Many others objected to the continuation of the contract without it being put out for another RFP. Two of those who spoke identified themselves as people who would like to present proposals to the council. The question of why this was not sent out was asked repeatedly with several speakers questioning the transparency of the transaction.

Ultimately, at the suggestion of Council Member Larry Spicer, the matter was continued two weeks to allow staff to consult with Gayman regarding extending the contract one year and sending the matter out to an RFP next year, earlier in the year. When the council adjourned for a short recess before reconvening as the Successor Agency, one person who had been in the audience, but who requested anonymity, asked why the council had waited so long to look into this issue and why MOTAB had not been consulted. “Why didn't they bring this up six months ago?” she asked. “Why did the council wait to the last minute when they knew the contract was up for renewal?” At the meeting of the Successor Agency, the issue of transparency was again raised. The issue before the agency was the sale of a piece of property owned by the Monrovia Redevelopment Agency. When the MRA was dissolved by the State last year, the Successor Agency was approved to handle the sale of properties owned by the Agency. Its actions are then sent to a supervisory agency made up of the entities that would benefit from the sales for its approval and then on the State Finance Department for final approval. When the newly installed City Manager Oliver Chi (who had taken his oath of office at the beginning of the City Council Meeting that evening) began the staff report he immediately alluded to questions that had been posed prior to the meeting about the propriety of the proposal. At

his request the Director of Community Development, Steve Sizemore, reviewed the process that lead to the recommendation of the staff that the property be sold to Paul Kalemkarian of Wine of the Month Club to development an artisan outlet for wine and other food and craft offering. Sizemore recounted the timeline of events that took place regarding the redevelopment plans for the area around the Metro station near Monrovia’s Old Santa Fe Station. After a detailed explanation of the various plans and changes in those plans necessitated by changing financial situation and ultimately the dissolution of the redevelopment agency system statewide, he reviewed the four basic plans suggested for the plot of land involved in the sale being considered by the council. Sizemore’s analysis explained why the staff felt the best solution in the timeliest manner was the sale to development the artisanal center as being not only the only plan which met the financial requirements, but also the original concept of the board. Many of those who spoke in opposition to the sale did so because they said they felt that they had not had their proposal adequately reviewed. Those who spoke opposing the sale identified themselves as being involved with CIBA, the brokers who represented the developers who wanted to bring an express hotel which would cater to visiting businessmen. Filippo Fanara and Alfredo Mejia both spoke spiritedly to the council saying they felt

their proposal had not been given adequate consideration. The response from the staff refuted these claims. At one point when City Attorney Craig Steel read from a June memo from CIBA, several of those who spoke in favor of the hotel project started crying out “Liar.” Steele and Chi reminded the council members that they were sitting, not as the city council, but rather as the board of the successor agency and that in such their fiduciary responsibility was to act for those agencies which would receive the benefit from the sale of the property, not to act as the city council to reach the best result for the community as a whole. They also reminded the council (acting as the board) that they had only a limited amount of time to sell the property before the county took over the responsibility of disposing of the property. Steele reminded the council that the other proposals for the property were contingent upon the purchase of properties not owned or controlled by the agency and therefore could not be guaranteed to be completed in a timely manner. Council Member Alexander Blackburn suggested a two week continuance of the matter to allow the council to hold a study session to allow all the parties to make presentations to the council regarding the various proposals. After advice from Chi and Steele regarding the timeliness of such a suggestion, the council voted 3 to 1 in favor of the sale, with Blackburn voting no and Council Member Tom Adams not being present to vote.

9th Annual Dia de los Muertos Celebration at Live Oak Memorial Park A special celebration of Dia de los Muertos, the traditional Mexican/Hispanic festival of remembrance in which departed spirits feel welcome to hold a reunion with living relatives, will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2, at Live Oak Memorial Park, 200 East Duarte Road in Monrovia. For more information, please call Live Oak Memorial Park at (626) 359-5311. This is the ninth annual event at Live Oak, and it is free and open to the public. Face-painting will begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by the mass and celebration beginning at 6 p.m. Los Angeles attorney Rolando Hidalgo will serve as master of ceremonies. Dia de los Muertos is a festive time of remembrance in which families decorate tombs of deceased relatives and install memorial altars where spe-

cial offerings are laid out with the intention of calling home the spirits of the dead. These altars – which are often set up on a tabletop or on boxes of various sizes – can include everything from tissue-paper dolls, candles and pan de muerto (sugar-coated breads) to photographs, water glasses, musical instruments and a variety of other gifts. The tradition is to include items that would be appealing and comforting to the returning souls.

Lavender Night Out a benefit in support of art, inclusion and equality, Nov. 6

The Pasadena Playhouse (Artistic Director Sheldon Epps and Executive Director Elizabeth Doran) presents Lavender Night Out a benefit in support of art, inclusion and equality featuring a Premiere Week performance of Diana Son’s GLADD Media Award winning play STOP KISS on Thursday, November 6, 2014. The festivities start at 6:30pm at The Pasadena Playhouse, with the STOP KISS performance at 8:00pm followed by dessert and drinks with the cast and director. Lavender Night Out supports The Pasadena Playhouse’s Theatrical Diversity Project, which is committed to bravely serving and representing the LGBTQ and other communities that broaden the diversity, equality and inclusion of American theatre through new play development and main stage productions. Lavender Night Out will feature key civic, cultural and business leaders who share an interest in the LGBTQ com-

munity. The Co-Chairs of the event are Parise Livanos and Anthony Guthmiller. The Host Committee includes Kin Cheng, Alison De La Cruz, Annie Goto, Travis Grimm, Lorri Jean, Kelly Lynch, Valerie Ploumpis, Aaron Stibel, and Jonathan Weedman. The Honorary Committee includes Diana Son and Art Manke. Elizabeth Doran, Executive Director of The Pasadena Playhouse, says "Diana Son has created a brilliantly crafted play that taps into our greatest core commonality: compassion. Audiences may enter our theatre with different points-of-view, but they may discover a unified perspective upon exit: that in order to live in peace, we must come at all issues from a place of love of our fellow human beings. So many of our spiritual and social leaders have expressed this, and it is certainly something we understand naturally as children. Plays like this provide gentle reminders to us in an increasingly complex adult

world. Seema Sueko, our new Associate Artistic Director, makes her mark with this, her debut as a director at The Pasadena Playhouse. She brings with her an expression through the work on the stage of some of our nearly 100 year old values at The Playhouse community inclusion and compassion for all." Written by Diana Son and directed by Pasadena Playhouse Associate Artistic Director Seema Sueko, STOP KISS stars Sharon Leal (Bill Condon’s Dreamgirls, Fox’s “Boston Public,” and Lionsgate’s Addicted), Angela Lin (Broadway’s Chinglish), John Sloan (Fox’s “Happy Hour”), Brandon Scott (ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy”), Amanda Carlin (Liar Liar), and Jeff De Serrano (A&E’s “Longmire”). STOP KISS marks The Playhouse directorial debut of Seema Sueko, who joined The Playhouse staff in January 2014. Originally produced Off-Broadway at The Public Theater, with a cast including

Sandra Oh and Jessica Hecht, this critically acclaimed play received the GLAAD Media Award for Best New York Production. STOP KISS tells the story of Sara and Callie, who are walking through New York City's West Village late at night when they share their first kiss. This leads to a vicious attack by an angry bystander, in which Sara is horribly injured. Throughout STOP KISS, relationships are explored, formed, and even ended. Diana Son elaborates on the depths of human emotion and compassion. STOP KISS will play November 4, 2014 through November 30 with the official press opening on November 9. The Pasadena Playhouse is located at 39 South El Molino Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101. The performance schedule is Tuesday through Friday at 8:00 p.m.; Saturday at 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.; and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. For more information, visit PasadenaPlayhouse. org.

Pathfinder partners announces final closing of lux home fund

Pathfinder Partners, LLC, a San Diego-based private equity fund manager that makes opportunistic real estate investments, today announced the final closing of its Pathfinder Lux Home Fund – a $12 million fund launched earlier this year to acquire and reposition high-end homes in the Los Angeles area. Along with capital from prior funds, Pathfinder has completed the acquisition of approximately $50 million in Los Angeles-area luxury homes. According to Mitch Siegler, Pathfinder’s cofounder and senior managing director, “we are thrilled with the interest this fund and investment strategy have received and see the fund’s closing as a solid vote of confidence in our team and track record of generating attractive returns for our investors.” The fund’s closure follows Pathfinder’s successful acquisition of 14 luxury homes, together with local operating partners and prior funds, with an aggregate

acquisition price and renovation budget of over $50 million. The homes, most located near Los Angeles’ Sunset Strip corridor and ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 square feet, were acquired by Pathfinder at prices ranging from $2 to $7 million. Renovation budgets typically range from $1 to $2 million and the square footage of most homes is expected to be increased by 30% to 50%. Pathfinder is capitalizing on inherent inefficiencies in the high-end residential marketplace, Siegler said. “There are relatively few modernized homes in L.A.’s best neighborhoods since many homes haven’t been updated since the ‘60s or ‘70s,” he said. “Yet, most buyers in these areas and at these price points are seeking a ‘turn-key’ experience and don’t have the vision for the renovated, enlarged home nor are they interested in investing substantial time and money on a major remodel. By acquiring a well-located, older home

and then reimagining and transforming the home, we create tremendous value and expect to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our investors.” Siegler said the initial 14 homes are located in prime Los Angeles-area neighborhoods, including Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, the Hollywood Hills, Rancho Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills Estates. Currently, two homes are listed for sale with the balance in various stages of renovation and planning. “As we sell the initial batch of homes, we plan to recycle the capital over the next 18 months, with an eye on other highend homes,” he said. Focusing on properties that are below the radar of large institutional investors, Pathfinder has acquired over $500 million of distressed assets and valueadd properties since its inception in 2006, Siegler said. “The strategy in the luxury home space builds on our strong closing track record and stellar reputa-

West Hollywood design district’s retrospective celebrating 6 decades of history The West Hollywood Design District is pleased to present “Decades of Design,” the first-ever retrospective exhibition uncovering, examining and celebrating six decades of rich design history in West Hollywood. The curated gallery will showcase design pioneers and present tastemakers through bold graphics, photographs and original product. The retrospective will launch on November 19, 2014 and will be on display through February 2015. "There is so much design history found on Melrose Avenue, Robertson Boulevard and Beverly Boulevard alone that deserves to be recognized," says show curator Gregory Firlotte, a 33-year veteran of the West Hollywood Design District scene. "How many people know that one of the few surviving buildings designed by the internationally-acclaimed furniture design team Charles and Ray Eames was the Herman Miller Showroom that can still be found on Beverly Boulevard 65 years later?" he points out. The “Decades of De-

sign” exhibition celebrates not only the remarkable businesses and designers of the past, but also those who carry that legacy forward to a new and global audience. "There is no other place I want to be," says superstar interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard about the West Hollywood Design District. "The positive energy here, its artistic atmosphere and the colorful characters who populate this city make my creative juices flow, and my business flourish." Bullard's sentiments echoes those of the multitude of interior designers, stylists, architects, craftspeople, and fashion designers, who like Bullard, have come to this most unique city over the past six decades. An integral part of the exhibition is an online component that complements the visual displays with more information on the people and companies found within the West Hollywood Design District, both past and present. Thus, visitors to the show as well as library patrons can learn more about the large, color-

ful images displayed on five interconnecting walls in the library's main reading room. "This is an exciting opportunity," notes Ryan Farber, executive director of the West Hollywood Design District, "to showcase to the community at large what many of us close to the design profession have known for many years -- that West Hollywood has always been, and continues to be, a thriving and creative hot spot whose cultural impact has global implications." And when one ties in all the various trades, professions, cultures and styles spanning all age groups and lifestyles found in the West Hollywood Design District, it is a mix unlike any other anywhere in the U.S. The exhibition is proudly sponsored by Ariana Rugs Inc, Union Bank, and Dominick’s.

The Petersen Automotive museum celebrated the penultimate day before major renovation at its 2014 Bold Moves Gala. New partnerships were announced and three industry icons were honored at this annual benefit for the Robert E. Petersen Free School Bus Program. The fundraising efforts more than doubled last year’s total. At the Gala, Petersen Automotive Museum Executive Director Terry Karges announced two strategic partnerships. Both will help make “The New Petersen” a bucket-list destination for automotive enthusiasts and museum-goers worldwide upon its projected late-2015 re-opening. First, The Petersen and Xbox are pleased to announce plans to create the Forza Motorsport Experience. Visitors to the 1,500 square-foot simulation room will be able to experience legendary racing circuits from behind the wheel of state-of-the-art Forza Motorsport simulators, or experience the beauty of the automobile up close in ForzaVista™. The experience will open in the museum next year, with plans to create programmatic and event experiences to follow shortly thereafter. To learn more about Forza Motorsport, visit ForzaMotorsport.net. Also, Belkin International’s Linksys brand will be partnering with The Petersen to provide stateof-the-art networking, WiFi and security capabilities for the new museum. An array of sophisticated network switches, Wi-Fi access points and an entirely new security camera upgrade will be part of the content infrastructure of the new museum. The Petersen/Linksys partnership will allow for a 21st century patron experience where accessing data, social network posting and other online activities from mobile devices are ensured to be seamless experiences. In addition, the museum plans on enhancing the practical museumgoing experience with augmented reality: content viewed on a personal, mobile device, and only made possible by precision planning of Wi-Fi services.

“There could be no better partner than Linksys to provide such consultation, equipment and execution, including an entirely new upgraded security camera system,” Terry Karges said. Three industry icons were also honored at the 2014 Bold Moves Gala: Mike Love, Jim Farley and Keith Crain. Beach Boys co-founder Mike Love received the Automotive Spirit Award, presented by Jaguar’s Design Director, Ian Callum. One of the band’s primary lyricists, Love’s car-themed collaborations with cousin Brian Wilson include “Little Deuce Coupe,” “409,” and “Fun, Fun, Fun.” The Beach Boys also performed at the Gala, with Love handling lead vocals. Said Mike Love: “Cars, especially American cars, are synonymous with the music of the Beach Boys. They are emblematic of freedom and pursuing dreams. What an incredible honor to be one of this year’s recipients and help close the curtain on the original Petersen — I can’t wait for the new one to open its doors.” Jim Farley, Ford’s EVP of Global Marketing, was also recognized. He received the Automotive Entrepreneur award, presented by Henry Ford III. Leading the company’s post-recession marketing efforts, Farley helped launch several global-platform vehicles. Most notable are Fusion, Fiesta and the 2015 Mustang. “It is a great honor to be recognized by the Petersen Automotive Museum with the Automotive Entrepreneur Award for my contributions to the automotive industry,” Farley said. “This recognition reflects

the collective work and efforts of the entire Ford Motor Company team and our commitment to deliver great products for our customers around the world.” The third honoree was Crain Communications Chairman Keith Crain, who received The Petersen’s 2014 Automotive Journalism Award. Crain has served as Editor-In-Chief of Automotive News, Autoweek and Crain’s Detroit Business since 1971. He is also active in several Detroitarea charities. “It’s a real privilege and honor for me to be honored by the Peterson,” Crain said. “To be surrounded by so many friends that I have known over the years is great fun and to share it with Jim Farley, my good friend, and Mike Love is simply fun. I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm with everyone. Cars of all shapes and sizes are the common denominator. We all love cars.” Sponsors for the 2014 Bold Moves Gala were Ford Motor Company, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, and Pure Insurance. The Petersen Automotive Museum’s $125M renovation is expected to take approximately one year. Some of The Petersen’s most stunning cars will move to The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for the “Amazing Automobiles: The Ultimate Car Exhibit,” which runs from October 28, 2014 - May 1, 2015. The Petersen Automotive Museum Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational institution. For general Museum information, call 323/930-CARS or visit the Museum’s Web site at: www.petersen.org.

Caltrans launches interactive game to teach teen drivers safe driving skills in highway work zones

In an effort to fight distracted driving and raise public awareness during National Teen Driver Safety Week, October 19-25, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is joining with the Office of Traffic Safety and California Highway Patrol to launch an interactive, mobile and online game called “Distraction Zone” that helps educate teen drivers about safe driving. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for 14- to 18-year-olds in the United States. “Playing the Distraction Zone game will provide teens with lifelong skills that will not only help keep these young drivers safe, but protect highway workers,” said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. According to 2012 data from The National Highway Traffic Safety Association, among drivers 15- to 19-yearsold who were distracted in fatal crashes, nearly 1 in 5 were

distracted by their phones. Speeding is also a common contributing factor in fatal crashes. In 2012, speeding was a factor in almost half (48 percent) of the crashes that killed 15- to 20-year-old drivers. The Distraction Zone game is specifically designed to reinforce key safe driving behaviors like avoiding distractions, being alert, and slowing down when approaching highway work zones. The mobile and online format helps get teen drivers engaged while actively learning safe driving skills. Mobile versions of the game are available for download on the App Store and Google Play and the online version is played at www.DistractionZone.com. As always, teens should not play the game or text while driving. An added incentive to entice teen game play is a contest being run by the campaign’s media partner,

iHeart Media. The Distraction Zone contest invites teen players to submit their highest game score for a chance to win cash prizes. The top prize, donated by iHeart Media, is $500. Players can play multiple times to achieve their best score and enter the contest between now and June 15, 2015. The Distraction Zone campaign also includes a safe driving education program for high schools called the Distraction Zone School Challenge. This program calls on student leaders to create an on-campus traffic safety event as part of a competition to win a cash grant up to $2,000 for their school, which is also donated by iHeart Media. Applications to enter the competition are due by December 1, 2014. For more information on Caltrans’ teen safe driving campaign and the Distraction Zone programs, visitwww.BeWorkZoneAlert.com.

Researchers take big-data approach to estimate range of electric vehicles Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed new software that estimates how much farther electric vehicles can drive before needing to recharge. The new technique requires drivers to plug in their destination and automatically pulls in data on a host of variables to predict energy use for the vehicle. “Electric cars already have range-estimation software, but we believe our approach is more accurate,” says Dr. Habiballah Rahimi-Eichi, a postdoctoral researcher at NC State and lead author of a paper on the work. “Existing technologies estimate remaining range based on average energy consumption of the past 5 miles, 15 miles, etc.,” RahimiEichi says. “By plugging in the destination, our software looks at traffic data, whether you’ll be on the highway or in the city, weather, road grade, and other variables. This predictive, big-data approach is a significant step forward, re-

ducing the range estimation error to a couple of miles. In some case studies, we were able to get 95 percent range estimation accuracy.” The software takes all of the data related to the route between starting point and destination and uses big data techniques to determine which pieces of information are important and extract key features that can be plugged into an algorithm to estimate how far the vehicle can go before recharging. But two other variables are also plugged into the algorithm: the performance characteristics of the vehicle

and its battery; and the amount of charge remaining in the battery. The state of charge is estimated using a patented technique developed by Rahimi-Eichi and Dr. Mo-Yuen Chow in 2012. Chow is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at NC State and a co-author of the paper. “People have a lot of ‘range anxiety’ in regard to electric vehicles – they’re afraid they’ll get stuck on the side of the road,” Chow says. “Hopefully, our new range estimation software will make people more confident about using electric vehicles.”

La Salle’s homecoming featured lackluster performance

The La Salle Lancers could not find a rhythm during their Homecoming, Friday night loss to Harvard-Westlake. The biggest concern fell at the Quarterback position, as La Salle's coaching staff consistently swapped Quarterbacks every couple series. Three different Quarterbacks lined up behind the center and yet, the leading passer was R. Hillier II (#2), a wide receiver, who completed a 55 yard trick-play pass to Evan Rambo (#1). The inconsistency in La Salle's execution provided Harvard-Westlake with numerous opportunities to expand their lead. Their offensive game plan of run, run, run was a simple, yet effective one. Their Quarterback, Marshal Cohen (#17), was a run-first QB. He showcased his ability by exploding for a 63 yard touchdown run followed by another 15 yard touchdown. Westlake's Running Back, Garrett Robinson (#6), also joined in by adding a 46 yard touchdown run to the stat sheet, as well as punching it passed the goal line for six. The Lancers have now dropped four of their last five, bringing their record to 3-4 and 0-2 in league. They face off with Salesian High this Friday, in hopes of steering their team in a brighter direction.

-Photos by Jacob Bigley

On Saturday morning, October 11, over 150 NVISION youth descended upon Rosemead Park in the city of Rosemead from the Garvey School District and the East Whittier District for a regional basketball tournament. It became a day of competition for every child participating in the Woodcraft Rangers NVISION programs. There was a vast presence of parents, school administrators and people from the community taking in the event. Boys and girls from elementary and middle schools took part in a regional basketball competition held by Woodcraft in preparation for the agencywide tournament that will be held on October 25th in Los Angeles at John Liecthy Middle School that will hold over 450 youth participants. More than 60 schools are served by Woodcraft Rangers and over 15 of those are located in the Garvey School District and the East Whittier School District. Their after school programs engage the youth through various sports, performing and visual arts, and unique health and nutrition clubs. Events like this allow the community to witness how Woodcraft Rangers supports youth development. A student athlete participating in the event from Monterrey Vista Elementary said, “Woodcraft Rangers’ NVISION

events are cool. Especially when everyone from all the different schools gets together.” CEO Chris Johnson adds, “It is always an enjoyment to see our staff and youth prepare for a common goal as they have fun while in the process of learning.” There are many kids that are not able to afford sports programs, so Woodcraft Rangers gives opportunities to those kids to participate at no cost. As they participate in their everyday clubs, they learn how to problem solve and work as a team on a daily basis. Throughout the greater Los Angeles area, Woodcraft Rangers has served over 1.1 million youth through its unique after school clubs customized to fit the youth’s interests. Their mission is to enhance what the youth do during the school day, build confidence, and the ability to be more active learners. Woodcraft Rangers’ goal is to engage and inspire the youth they serve. For further information contact, (213) 2499293 or woodcraft@woodcraftrangers.org. To learn more about Woodcraft Rangers go to www.woodcraftrangers.org Woodcraft Rangers is a nonprofit, tax-exempt California corporation under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

California #1 in after school programs

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson has announced that California leads the nation in after school programs, placing first among all states in a national survey released Thursday by the Afterschool Alliance. “The good news is, because we have followed through on our long-term commitment to invest in our children, California has the largest network of after school programs in the country,” Torlakson said. “These programs are helping our children learn and stay safe after school, while helping working parents keep their jobs. The challenge is that many more children still need to be served.” Torlakson celebrated California’s number one ranking with students, parents, community leaders, and advocates Thursday in a visit to the after school program at Roy Romer Middle School in North Hollywood. The Alliance gave California its top ranking in the 2014 edition of its “America After 3PM” survey, singling the state out for both strong participation among students

and high satisfaction with after school programs among parents. It found that expanded learning participation in California had increased to 25 percent, compared to 19 percent in 2009, with more than 1.6 million students enrolled. The survey also found that 92 percent of California parents were satisfied with the quality of care of their child’s after school program, up from 83 percent in 2009. “Superintendent Torlakson has spearheaded efforts to make California number one in the nation,” said Afterschool Alliance Executive Director Jodi Grant. “He created a statewide after school initiative within the California Department of Education that has increased quality and access to after school programs across this state. California stands head and shoulders above the rest of the country, not only for the percentage of students it serves, but for its emphasis on making highquality after school programs a state priority. From extraordinary STEM programs, to service learning, to its trailblazing literacy programming, California has done an amaz-

ing job with afterschool programs.” The Alliance’s report also noted California’s work to emphasize the quality of programs, including Torlakson’s move to create an After School Division within the California Department of Education (CDE) and to develop a strategic plan to build on the state’s investments in expanded learning. The CDE also recently completed development of new Quality Standards for Expanded Learning programs. A teacher and long-time track and cross-country coach, Torlakson has long been a champion of after school programs. Legislation he authored led to the creation and expansion of these programs. California's expanded learning programs today reach about 4,500 schools around the state. They are, in large part, funded through voter-approved Proposition 49, which guarantees $550 million annually for the state's After School Education and Safety Program. California administers another $120 million in federal after school program funds.

State Board President Kirst announces California application for $140M Early Childhood Education Grant State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson and State Board of Education President Michael W. Kirst have announced that California has submitted an application for the U.S. Department of Education Preschool Expansion Grant. “I am excited at this tremendous opportunity that could give many more children the early learning experience that serves as a happy, healthy foundation on which to grow and learn,” Torlakson said. “Expanding access to preschool helps our young children throughout school and later in life.” "Our goal is to support high-quality preschool and build upon the $250 million investment California provided in the June budget for preschool expansion,” said Kirst. “These grant funds will be directed locally to help meet the needs of low-income four year olds, especially those with disabilities.” The grant could provide California with $140 mil-

Latino Heritage CITY OF

lion—$35 million per year over a four-year period—to support the development of high-quality state preschool programs. This funding would provide for more than 3,700 new and improved preschool spaces for low-income and special needs children. California’s application especially emphasizes inclusive preschools: high-quality programs and supports for children, including those with diverse needs such as children with individual education programs, English learners, and migrant children. Through this effort, California seeks to build and support a culture and community of inclusion from the earliest point possible for children. California’s application was developed by a close working partnership involving the California Department of Education (Early Education and Support and Special Education Divisions), First 5 California, and the State Board of Education. If funded, the work would be carried out by

specifically selected regional subgrantees that include local preschool agencies. California’s continued success working with and funding Regional Consortia as part of its regionally based Race to the TopEarly Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) implementation provided the knowledge, capacity, and partnerships to engage in a rigorous subgrantee selection process. Generous support for the development of California’s Preschool Expansion Grant was received from the Annenberg, David and Lucile Packard, and Heising-Simons Foundations. These contributions build on their earlier critical investments supporting the development of strong early education systems in California. California may well be competing with nearly two dozen other states who have submitted a notice of intent to apply for a portion of the expansion grants. A decision is expected by the end of the year.

Nurses call on President to set standards for treating Ebola

With concern escalating across the U.S. about the threat of a wider Ebola outbreak, National Nurses United today called on President Barack Obama to “invoke his executive authority” to order all U.S. hospitals to meet the highest “uniform, national standards and protocols” in order to “safely protect patients, all healthcare workers and the public.” The request, send in a letter to the President, came on a day in which NNU, the largest U.S. organization of nurses, hosted a national callin conference in which 11,500 RNs from across the U.S. joined to discuss what steps should be taken to confront a virulent disease that the World Health Organization has termed the most significant health crisis in modern history. On the call, RNs from California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Texas described widespread concerns in their hospitals about inadequate preparedness at a time at least two nurses have been

tested positive for the Ebola virus in a hospital where one patient infected by the disease has died. The call came just hours after NNU released a statement by RNs who work at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas voicing frustration and concern over what they viewed as a lack of preparation and training at their hospital, the first in the U.S. to see, first a patient with Ebola who subsequently died, and now an RN who has been infected with the virus. In the statement, the Texas RNs described confusion in the hospital over policies in responding to patients with Ebola, inadequate advance training and availability of proper personal protective equipment, and changing guidelines. In the end, the nurses, said they felt “unsupported, unprepared and deserted to handle the situation on their own.” “Sadly, the problems expressed by the heroic Texas Health Presbyterian RNs was predictable in our fragmented, uncoordinated private

healthcare system, and it mirrors concerns we’ve heard from nurses across the U.S.,” said NNU Executive Director RoseAnn DeMoro. It is the circumstances in Dallas, which have mirror the concerns nurses across the U.S. have been expressing, both on the call and via an online NNU survey filled out by more than 2,500 nurses that have prompted NNU to call on President Obama to mandate improved safety standards in U.S. health facilities. “Not one more patient, nurse, or healthcare worker should be put at risk due to a lack of health care facility preparedness,” DeMoro said in the letter to President Obama. “The United States should be setting the example on how to contain and eradicate the Ebola virus.” The letter also states: “Every healthcare employer must be directed to follow the Precautionary Principle and institute the following: “Optimal personal protective equipment for Ebola that meets the highest standards used by the University

“There shall be at least two direct care registered nurses caring for each Ebola patient with additional RNs assigned as needed based on the direct care RN’s professional judgment with no additional patient care assignments. “There will be continuous interactive training with the RNs who are exposed to patients. There will also be continuous updated training and education for all RNs that is responsive to the changing nature of disease. This would

entail continuous interactive training and expertise from facilities where state of the art disease containment is occurring. “If the Employer has a program with standards that exceed those used by the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the higher standard shall be used. Nothing short of your mandate that optimal standards apply is acceptable to the nurses of this nation,” the letter from DeMoro to the President concludes.

Obituary Life Remembered Agnes Josephine Iversen, 96 Agnes Josephine Iversen, 96, passed away peacefully Sept 23, 1914, from pneumonia. She battled a respiratory illness most of her adult life and spent the last 8 years at the Huntington Drive Health and Rehab Center, formerly named Country Villa, in Arcadia. Agnes was born March 18, 1918 in Great Falls, Montana. When she was 3 years old, she moved to Tacoma, WA, with her family. As a young girl she liked to climb cherry trees, pick dogwood flowers for nuns to place on the church alter, play baseball and dance. She read every book in the school library. In those days she had no toys and was expected to do a lot of housework and bake cakes. She attended Holy Cross Catholic school and graduated from Buetel Business College. She married Ted E. Iversen in 1939. Ten years later he was transferred to Seattle where Agnes held some part-time jobs while raising her family. She also was a beauty counselor and a dance instructor for Veloz and Yolanda national dance studios. Another job transfer in 1957 meant relocating to Bremerton, WA. A few years later, she and her husband parted ways and she moved with her youngest son to Santa Monica, California. She worked in a pharmacy, the DMV and the State Energy Commission for several

years before she retired and moved to Duarte, CA for 26 years prior to moving to Country Villa. She was a devout Catholic. She belonged to the Blue Army and led prayer groups, taught religious classes, attended religious retreats and conferences. She attended services at Santa Teresita in

Duarte and at her church, Immaculate Conception in Monrovia, where she met and had a special friendship with her priest, Fr. Marco Reyes. She was a bright spirit who enjoyed gardening, sewing, cooking, playing bridge, reading, long walks, looking at horses and dancing. She loved music and belonged to opera associations. And most of all, she enjoyed hearing about activities of family members or attending family gatherings. In her earlier years she was a volunteer and drove an ambulance delivering blood

for the Red Cross. She was an officer in the Elk’s women's Emblem Club. Through the last day of her life, she had a lot of love to give along with beautiful smiles and sparkling eyes. She is survived by her 4 children: Carroll Cleaver (William), Susan Manley, Phillip A. Iversen, Theodore Dennis Iversen (Colette); 7 grandchildren: Bill Cleaver Jr, Elizabeth Fox (Richard), Mike Cleaver (Julie), twins Colleen Bacon (Dave) and Joyce Dillon (Tom), Patrick Cleaver (Debbie) and Theresa Johnson (Mitch); 10 greatgrandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews (where some included Vilma "Mimi" Louie and MaryLou Regnart) and extended family members. She was a beloved second mother to her niece Alison Asselstine (Wes) and her girls Anastasha and Annika. She was predeceased by her parents Joseph and Anna Jankovich Bartolatz, and 7 brothers and sisters: Joseph, Albert, Edward, Lawrence and Stephanie Bartolat, Sophie "Sally" Regnart (Roy), and MaryAnn "Mimi" Hayduke (George). A rosary was held, Sept 29 at Douglass & Zook’s Mortuary, and a funeral l mass was held Sept. 30 at Holy Angels Church in Arcadia. Interment followed at Assumption Catholic Cemetery in Simi Valley. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the American Lung Association.

Pasadena PD

October 7 at about 705 a.m., Pasadena Police Sergeant Vic Alaniz assisted the PFD with an intoxicated male and female in Villa Parke. The female had minor injuries and needed medical care. The female victim told officers she was in the park during the early morning hours and was assaulted by her boyfriend (the male suspect was arrested for public intoxication). The female said she

The caller reported that the suspect, an alleged family member, had possibly fled the apartment. Officers quickly arrived at the location and discovered two adult victims in an apartment on the third floor. The victims were suffering from multiple stab wounds. The victims were transported to a local hospital by PFD paramedics. Tragically, the female died soon after arriving at the hospital and the male died while in surgery. Pasadena Police officers located the suspect walking in the area of Madison Avenue and Walnut Street. He was taken into custody without incident.

Sierra Madre PD

Wednesday, October 15 At 10:30 pm, Sierra Madre Police performed a traffic stop on a vehicle whose record showed the registration had expired in 2012, but the vehicle was displaying a 2014 registration tab. When Officers questioned the subject, he initially denied having knowledge of why his record showed an expired registration. Through further questioning, the subject admitted to Officers he currently worked at a storage facility in Pasadena, and had recently fallen on hard times financially. Unable to pay for his vehicle’s registration, he decided to remove the registration of a motorhome being stored at the storage facility, and place it on his vehicle. He stated the motorhome had been stored there for quite some time and believed no one would have noticed that the registration was missing. The subject was arrested and charged with possession of stolen property and unlawful display of registration tabs. Thursday, October 16 At 1:35 am, Sierra Madre Police were dispatched to the area of Hermosa Avenue and Mariposa Avenue regarding a traffic collision. When Offi-

cers arrived they noticed a vehicle on the west curb line facing south, with a flat left front wheel bent inwards and pieces of shrubbery on the hood of the car. Officers made contact with two male subjects, one of which was attempting to pull the spare tire out of the vehicle’s trunk. The driver of the vehicle informed Officers he got a flat tire and his friend, who had called Sierra Madre Police Department was helping him. He stated to Officers he was the only one in the vehicle. While questioned by Officers, they noticed a strong odor of alcohol emitting from the man’s breath. The man showed signs of intoxication from blood shot eyes to having loss of balance. By consent of the male driver, Officers performed a Field Sobriety Test, which he ultimately did not successfully pass. The driver of the vehicle was arrested and cited for DUI of alcohol and/or drugs and DUI with BAC greater than 0.8%. Saturday, October 18 At 2:14 am, Sierra Madre Police performed a traffic stop on a vehicle driving without its headlights on in darkness. While Officers did a record check on the driver, they were informed that he had three outstanding warrants totaling to $110,000. Azusa Police Department was contacted as they were one of the warrant issuing agencies. Officers then removed a female subject from the rear of the vehicle. During a search of the female subject, Officers discovered a hypodermic needle. When questioned about the needle, she stated she was holding onto it for a friend. The male subject was arrested and taken into custody by Azusa Police for his outstanding warrant and the female subject was cited for possession of a hypodermic needle.

File your DBA us at filedba.com Monrovia Water Polo is with all about teamwork

Performing well in the pool for the Monrovia High boys’ water polo team the past three seasons has been Jacob Miravet. And as he’s been playing the two-meter this season, Miravet said it’s all about just getting better. “It’s been going well,” said Miravet, a junior. “The team has improved immensely.

That announcement was made by Olympic gold medalist and professional snowboarder Shaun White on Friday. This will be the first time the event will be held in the U.S. as it started in Europe in 1993. “Air & Style will feature a 16-story ramp covered in man-made snow for the skiing and snowboarding competition. There will also be a skateboarding area, food trucks, local artists, fashion, three music stages – at which White promised his own band Bad Things will make an appearance – and a family area where children can learn

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.

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 POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.LPSASAP.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 013483-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
