This unprecedented action follows three consecutive dry years with the winter of 2013/14 being a record dry year. Groundwater levels in the Main San Gabriel Basin (Basin) are at record low levels and will continue to drop if this coming winter does not provide above average rainfall and significant amounts of imported water used to replenish the depleted groundwater supplies are not provided by Upper District’s supplier, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. “Today’s action by the

CASA of Los Angeles’ “Day at the Races” raises $55,000

BY SHEL SEGAL Most people like to sleep in on a Sunday morning. But for some at the San Gabriel Mission it’s a time for helping others. Having started earlier this year, Guido Zamalloa, a deacon with the mission’s church, leads a group of about 60 volunteers every Sunday in effort to feed the area’s hungry. “We’re having a distribution of food for the needy, homeless and low income families,” ZamalPlease see page 3

CASA of Los Angeles’ “Day at the Races,” took place at the Santa Anita Racetrack this past Sunday. The event raised $55,000 that will help with the upcoming “Glamour Gowns” event in March. Last year Glamour Gowns provided over 400 young women in foster care from all over Los Angeles with new formal gowns, shoes, jewelry and more from major designers, all at no cost. This year’s event will also provide boys formal wear. The event is organized by a dedicated volunteer committee working with CASA of Los Angeles.

Ghostly getaways and horrifying happenings By Greg Aragon Halloween is upon us and that means it is time for a host of scary transformations at local theme parks. A few of my favorites include “Halloween Horror Nights” at Universal Studios; “Fright Fest” at Magic Mountain; and “Dark Harbor” at the Queen Mary. After 80 years of bloodcurdling horror film production, Universal Studios brings the most terrifying 360-degree Halloween event in Los Angeles with More Dead Than Ever. This year, guests can experience an all-new nightmare featuring scares from some of Hollywood’s most terrifying movies and TV shows. This year’s Horror Nights boasts seven new mazes, including “The Walking Dead,” “Alien vs. Predator,” “From Dusk Till Dawn,” and “An American Werewolf in London.” Based on the hit AMC series, “The Walking Dead - End of the Line” is back in an allnew, terrifyingly apocalyptic

maze based on Season 4. Lying among the prison debris are a pile of half-eaten rats, a blood-soaked baby car seat and the severed head of a grey-haired man with a pony tail. The park also features five scare zones, including “The Purge: Anarchy,” where anarchy reigns on the streets of Universal Studios Hollywood with the commencement of the annual Purge! During this period of government-sanctioned lawlessness, average citizens are transformed into sadistic felons in search of new victims. And then there is “Mask - a - Raid,” which takes place in prerevolutionary France, where Masquerade Balls are stalked by hidden members of a bloodthirsty, cannibal cult. During Halloween Horror nights, visitors who also pay for theme park entrance, can also board the park’s legendary rides such as Revenge of the Mummy The Ride, Jurassic Park in the Dark, The Simpson’s Ride, and Despicable Me Minion Mayhem. Halloween Horror Nights runs every night from 7pm - 2am through No-

vember 2. For more information and tickets, visit: www. halloweenhorrornights.com/ Over at Magic Mountain, there is Fright Fest, now in its 22nd season. This year’s line-up includes a total of eight electrifying mazes, seven dare-to-enter scare zones, and roaming zombies around every corner. If that’s not enough, Magic Mountain will add a sinister element to some of their monster coasters by turning off the lights, leaving riders to face their fears in total darkness. Three new mazes this year incorporate state-of-theart props, Hollywood-quality make-up, and story lines not meant for the faint-of-heart. There is “Red’s Revenge,” which takes visitors over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother’s house. But in this fairytale, guests and the wolf are hunted by Red and her demonic minions. Then there is Vault 666, an old abandoned research facility where genetic experiments crossing humans with animals were once conducted and just recently the frightening secrets have been unearthed, exposing terror and mayhem from deep

within the unsecured vault. Fright Fest runs through November 1. For information, on (661) 255-4111 or visit www.frightfest.sixflags.com/ magicmountain/ At the Queen Mary in Long Beach, passengers are sailing into “Dark Harbor,” where the real-life haunted decks of the famed ship are open to those brave enough to enter. This year’s Dark Harbor offers two brand new mazes with scores of monsters, and the

new Voodoo Village. Highlights of the ship’s six mazes include “Circus,” where the Captain has conjured up a haunted circus with a big top tent inside a deadly dome! Here, guests try to make their way through disorienting illusions, fatally horrific magic and circus wonders never before imagined. There is also “Submerged,” a terrifying maze where Scary Mary, the ship’s youngest spirit is

looking for mortal souls to be her eternal playmate on the other side. To get them, she’s bringing down the ship and all the living souls that walk its deck! The ship is sinking and you must survive through the waterfilled terror where monsters lurk around every corner. The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor runs through November 2.

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-yearold 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.

Last Saturday, the Gold Line Construction Authority held a celebration for the completion of the track from Pasadena to Azusa. Elias Avilar of Monrovia installed the final E-clip, the device 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 oft-repeated 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.

loa said. “We distribute every Sunday from 9 to 11 a.m.” Zamalloa said the task is beginning to get quite large. “We’re talking about an average of about 2,500 pounds of food and products,” he said. “We began eight months ago in February with 18 families. Now, we’re distributing to 65 families on average. And we’re planning to grow and help 400 families.” And, luckily, there is plenty of food to be donated, he said. “We get the food from the Los Angeles Food Bank and Target stores,” he said. “The food goes to three cities: Rosemead, San Gabriel and Alhambra.” What is astonishing is how many hungry people there are in the San Gabriel Valley, Zamalloa said. “The food is really needed,” he said. “There are a lot of people out there, like retirees, a lot of low income families are living with three or four families in the same apartment. We are helping them out.

People don’t realize this, so we are trying to spread the word and announce it throughout the media for help.” While there is enough food to give away, Zamalloa said, there is something the mission could use to better serve the hungry. “We are really in need of help and donations because we are trying to build a walk-in cooler that is 12 feet by 18 feet,” he said. “We need help with the construction. The plans have already been approved by the city (of San Gabriel) and we’re going to build it in the back of the church. So, we need money donations, if possible.” In addition, Zamalloa said his group feeds people of all faiths and circumstances without asking questions. If you would like to make a donation, please call the mission at (626) 643-1557. (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com. He can be followed via Twitter @ segallanded.)

Union-backed California Gov. Brown appeals Vergara Decision By Heather Kays California Gov. Jerry Brown has decided to appeal the Vergara decision on teacher tenure and other traditional job protections for teachers. This isn’t a surprising move, considering how much political backing Brown has received from teachers’ unions. If upheld by the court, the Vergara decision will make changes to job protections for teachers, including eliminating tenure, seniority, and teacherdismissal procedures that protect incompetent teachers and negatively impact students’ education. Brown now has to stand up and explain why he thinks it should be unbelievably expensive and time-consuming to dismiss bad teachers. He has to say it should be more difficult to fire a teacher for cause than to fire other state employees. He has to say seniority, not effectiveness, should be the key factor in deciding which teachers get laid off. When Judge Rolf M. Treu ruled in Vergara that traditional job protections

for teachers were doing harm to California children’s education, especially to low-income children, it was a huge victory for families in that state. Since then, a similar lawsuit has been brought by parents in New York. Treu stated, “The evidence is compelling. Indeed, it shocks the conscience.” As Treu noted, ending teacher tenure and “last in, first out” policies is an important step in extending educational opportunity to all students. It is an education solution that would be easy to achieve and cut costs while raising quality. But it’s not surprising Brown would appeal the decision on behalf of his angry friends, the teachers’ unions. Time and again, teachers’ union leaders and members claim changing their job protection laws would eliminate due process and result in the unfair firing of good teachers. While American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten told USnews. com in July, “Due process is not intended to be a job

for life, a cloak for incompetence or a reason for managers not to manage,” in many cases that is exactly what it has become. It can take months or even years and tens of thousands of dollars to remove an ineffective teacher. The process is so difficult that teachers need not ever fear being removed for mere incompetence. They have to worry only when they break the law or behave so egregiously that officials simply can’t look the other way. Even then, the process doesn’t always work the way it’s supposed to. In 2012, the Los Angeles Unified School District paid off former Miramonte Elementary School teacher Mark Berndt, who had been charged with 23 counts of lewd conduct, including spoon-feeding his semen to children. Berndt was given $40,000 to resign. The school board had decided to fire him, but when he appealed the decision they realized it would be cheaper to pay him to leave rather than go through the process

of firing him. That’s an extreme example, but if a teacher can do such unspeakable things and still walk away with a big check from the taxpayers, there is clearly something wrong with the process. At the other end of the spectrum, there are examples such as Michelle Apperson being laid off after being named “Teacher of the Year” in the Sacra-

mento City Unified School District in 2012 because she did not have seniority. It shouldn’t require much courage for Brown to take a stand against such outrages. No one in favor of changing teacher tenure laws wants any teacher to face dismissal without a hearing and due process. People realize the importance of protecting the good teachers from wrong-

fully losing their jobs. But to defend antiquated policies proven not to work and proven to leave ineffective teachers in the classroom for years is unfair to students, their families, and taxpayers.

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 interrupted 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.

Cross country events at Pasadena High More than meets the eye If you’re a spectator at a cross country event it doesn’t look like much is going on. But Alex Guardado, a cross country runner at Pasadena High, wants you to know that a lot of training goes into those events. And he added they’re a lot of fun. “It’s a different mindset,” said Guardado, a junior. “There’s something about it and it relaxes you. You get out there and you feel relaxed and free when you’re running.” Guardado said his personal best on the 5K course is 16.05. That’s way down from 17.30 a while earlier. So, what does he have to do to run under 16 minutes? “I have to train a lot harder,” he said. “I have to focus on working the hills and

By Shel Segal I have to focus on keeping my form right.” The funny thing is Guardado is having this success while being a relative newcomer to the sport. “I hadn’t run cross country before coming to PHS,” he said. “It was mainly the coaching that I got here. I had a couple problems with my form at first. They helped me a lot on that. They fixed that up for me.” Those techniques on improving his form have really worked, Guardado said. “When I started my arms would cross a lot,” he said. “So, they were going side to side. Now, I’m concentrating on them going back to front. It changes the momentum a lot. I also learned to keep my knees up. One of the keys to cross country is to keep your

knees high and you stay on your toes. It’s a lot easier to run when you’re on your toes.” And it’s not all about running, he said. “They also teach a lot of mental stuff, like how to keep your body from breaking down before the finish line,” Guardado said. And while running cross country was not his first choice, Guardado said he is glad he is able to do it. “My dad was a cyclist for the UCLA team,” he said. “At a young age I was into biking. There’s no cycling team at Pasadena High. So, I figured I would go for the next best thing and it turns out I was good at it.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.

Major drought in San Gabriel Basin Continued from page 1

Board is necessary to continue the reliable and safe operation of the Basin’s water supply” stated Upper District Board President Anthony Fellow. “Groundwater levels continue to hit record lows and weather forecasts predict continued droughtlike conditions, the Upper District recognizes it is critical to reinforce the water conservation emergency regulations mandated by the State Water Resources Control Board in August and also strongly supports Governor Brown’s call for all Californians to reduce their personal water use by 20 percent.” The resolution adopts water conservation actions as mandated by the State Water Resources Control Board’s Emergency Regulation for Water Conservation and directs Upper District to work with the local water providers to help them implement all water conservation actions they deem most appropriate through their local ordinances as required by the State Water Resources Control Board. The Board resolution also demands that Metropolitan deliver water requested by Upper District for groundwater replenishment on the same terms and conditions as provided to other Metropolitan member agencies that receive service by paying Metropolitan’s “full service” water rates. Following three consecutive years of below average local precipitation and limited availability of

imported water needed for groundwater replenishment, the Basin is at a record low level of 182’ above mean sea level as measured at the “Key Well” located in Baldwin Park. To return to just average rainfall conditions, over 36” of rain is needed to make up for the current shortfall from the last three years. Significantly more rainfall is needed to recover the groundwater level above the low end of the safe operating range. Without deliveries of imported water, and if the coming winter is as dry as last year, groundwater levels could drop another 20 feet or more. Many groundwater wells will lose production capacity requiring that they be operated for longer periods of time, several will no longer be able to provide any water. The Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster is working closely with the local water providers to update an emergency water supply plan to deal with this condition. “By acting now, Watermaster, Upper District and the local water providers are being proactive and working to get ahead of this issue before it becomes a water shortage emergency as we see in other parts of the state. Metropolitan will play a critical role in stretching its already thin water supplies to help San Gabriel Valley communities make it through this drought” stated Fellow. Maintaining the safe operating yield of the Basin is

critical not only for the management of a reliable watershed, but also in containing the migration of contaminant plumes that are found in the groundwater. Per the Judgment entered into in 1974 by all water rights holders in the Basin, it is Watermaster’s responsibility to maintain these safe operating levels and manage the Basin. Upper District’s actions support Watermaster’s responsibility to manage the Basin and ensure that water requested for groundwater replenishment is delivered on the same terms and conditions as provided to other Metropolitan member agencies Upper District’s mission is to provide a reliable, sustainable, diversified and affordable portfolio of high quality water supplies to the San Gabriel Valley; including water conservation, recycled water, storm water capture, storage, water transfers and imported water. Upper District services nearly one million people in its 144 square mile service territory. Governed by a five member elected board of directors, Upper District is a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Annually, more than 78 billion gallons of water is used in Upper District’s service area.

South Coast Repertory’s “The Whipping Man” set for the Pasadena Playhouse 2014-2015 Season The Pasadena Playhouse (Sheldon Epps, Artistic Director and Elizabeth Doran Executive Director) announced that they will present Matthew Lopez’s multi-award winning play THE WHIPPING MAN, which will replace the previously announced production of William Gibson’s TWO FOR THE SEESAW as the fourth production of the 2014-2015season. THE WHIPPING MAN is produced in association with South Coast Repertory, where the show will play January 4-25, 2015, and then transfer to The Pasadena Playhouse February 3 - March 1, 2015 with a press opening on February 4. Sheldon Epps, Artistic Director of The Pasadena Playhouse, said "I am very pleased that we will once again be working in collaboration with our highly respected colleagues at South Coast Repertory to present THE WHIPPING MAN, a play which I have had under consideration for our season for quite some time. This play, one of the most frequently produced works in contemporary American Theatre, is

beautifully written, a perfect play for actors, and its themes fall so well into our ongoing diversity initiatives.” Elizabeth Doran, Executive Director of The Pasadena Playhouse, says, "The Pasadena Playhouse is pleased to partner with the esteemed South Coast Repertory once again with this production of THE WHIPPING MAN. As with our most recent partnership in 2012 when we presented SCR's Jitney, this kind of collaboration deepens the artistic experience for the artists, and broadens the audiences who ultimately receive the work. As was the case in bringing Stoneface from Sacred Fools' to our mainstage in 2013, we value partnerships like these with our peer theatres. They feed our community's cultural ecosystem by sustaining artists and broadening community dialogue through the telling and retelling of great stories on our stages."” South Coast Repertory’s production of THE WHIPPING MAN is directed by Martin Benson. Stage and television star Charlie Robinson plays Simon in this Obie

Award-winning drama The New York Times proclaimed “haunting and powerful.” South Coast Repertory describes THE WHIPPING MAN as follows: The Civil War has ended, leaving destruction in its wake. As a raging storm illuminates what’s left of a once majestic plantation home, three Jewish men prepare for Passover—the owner’s son, and his family’s former slaves. Only one of them, Simon, remains strong in his faith, but it is threatened with truths about what happened in this house—and in their lives—during its antebellum days. Full casting and the creative team for THE WHIPPING MAN will be announced at a later date. Matthew Lopez is the author of THE WHIPPING MAN, one of the most widely produced new American plays of the last several years. It premiered at Luna Stage in Montclair, NJ, had its New York debut at Manhattan Theatre Club in a production directed by Doug Hughes and featuring Andre Braugher. The soldout production extended four times—ultimately running 101

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 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-627813-JP . 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may

have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.
