Rain: Water falling in drops condensed from vapor in the atmosphere; also, the descent of such drops. That's according to my old (1949) Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary that I have saved since my high school days. Rain: Water that is condensed from the aqueous vapor in the atmosphere and falls to earth in drops. That's according to a much newer 21st century

Webster's Universal College Dictionary. The formal definition of rain, like a lot of other things, hasn't changed much over the years. Just a little tweaking and changing in the order of the words. Rain, by any definition, is something we haven't seen, or heard, much of in the past few months and years in southern California. So as I laid in my bed last Friday night and listened to those drops of condensed vapor landing on my aluminum awning, I just luxuriated in it. Kind of had the same effect as dozing in a rocking chair with a cat in your lap.

Wanna hear my definition of rain? When I was teaching the very young kids back in Michigan in the '50s, we used to have some pretty severe storms. They could be scary. So my definition or explanation of the storm was: "The angels are cleaning house." When it thundered: "The angels are moving their furniture." When lightning flashed: "Ooops, one of them bumped the light switch!" Maybe Mr. Webster, old or new, wouldn't agree, but it worked for me every time. The kids would giggle and someone would say, "Ahh Miss B., you're joshin' us."

Arcadia Post Office… Mensa Society candidate? I think not! By Terry Miller Whoever was responsible for this absurd bit of planning in Arcadia truly needs their heads examined. These perfectly fine drive-up post boxes were recently relocated from a safe drive through in the rear of the Arcadia post office. Now someone, in his infinite wisdom, has placed the mail boxes on the sidewalk on the street with the openings to boxes facing north. Now, this is all well and good, if we simply drive on the right, as we do in the U.K. You see my point, I hope. Stay with us… So you see, everything is backwards. Also, as my esteemed eagle-eyed colleague Kimberly Eshoo pointed out, the bloody twits also put the mail boxes in a RED ZONE.

I know it’s the Federal Government but really it makes no sense, creates driving hazards as people get out of their cars confused albeit trying to mail off that Christmas card to Granny. Additionally, cars back up while drivers attempt to outstretch their arms to the passenger seat and hopefully jettison a letter into the box. This just

doesn’t work. Thank God Granny has email! You add that to the fact that people driving west on Santa Clara illegally turn left all the time over a double yellow line just to get in to 24 hour Fitness parking lot and you have instant gridlock. Come on Post Office, surely you can do better than this?

San Gabriel Valley doctor charged with Foothill Unity Center illegally writing prescriptions for Oxycodone mobile dental clinic - Nov. 8 Dr. Daniel Cham, 47, was arraigned on a 31-count indictment late Thursday afternoon, at which time a trial was scheduled for December 16. Cham was arrested Wednesday afternoon at his residence in Covina. At yesterday’s arraignment, bond was set at $140,000, and Cham was ordered to serve home detention while free on bond and was prohibited from practicing medicine. The indictment, which was returned by a federal grand jury on October 7 and unsealed when the defendant was arrested, charges Cham with drug trafficking, money laundering, fraud, and making false statements to federal authorities. The indictment focuses on prescriptions Cham wrote at various locations, including his medical offices in La Puente and Artesia. The drugs involved in the allegedly illegal prescriptions include oxycodone (a powerful narcotic painkiller best known under the brand name OxyContin), hydrocodone (a narcotic painkiller often sold under the brand names Vicodin and Norco), alprazolam (commonly known by the brand name Xanax), and carisoprodol (as muscle relaxer best known as Soma). “The problem of pharmaceuticals being diverted to the black market continues to grow, which feeds drug addiction and leads to additional criminal acts by addicts,” said Acting United States Attorney Stephanie Yonekura. “Unscrupulous doctors who prescribe controlled substances without a legitimate medical purpose are simply fueling a black market of narcotics. These doctors are the same as street dealers who face lengthy sentences in federal prison.” In May 2014, investigators executed federal search warrants at 13 locations, including Cham’s residence and medical offices. According to the affidavit in support of the search warrants, which

was unsealed at Cham’s arraignment, the doctor often saw patients between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and he post-dated prescriptions to make them appear to have been written on weekdays. In the year that ended in March 2014, Cham issued more than 5,500 prescriptions for controlled substances—primarily for oxycodone, hydrocodone, alprazolam and carisoprodol—and he issued more than 42,000 such prescriptions since July 2010, according to the affidavit. The affidavit also discussed how an undercover officer made three visits to Cham’s La Puente office earlier this year, and how Cham wrote prescriptions for controlled substances in exchange for $200 or $300 in cash or money orders. As discussed in the affidavit, Cham issued a prescription for oxycodone even though the undercover operative said he “had been high and drunk while receiving controlled substance prescriptions” previously from Cham. On another occasion, Cham prescribed oxycodone even though the undercover law enforcement officer presented, in lieu of photo identification, a written notice that his license had been suspended for driving under the influence. “Daniel Cham’s arrest sends a clear message to doctors who violate their sworn public duty by selling prescriptions for highly addictive opioids—the DEA will shut down your operation and put you behind bars,” said Anthony D. Williams, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA’s Los Angeles Field Division. “Along with our law enforcement partners, we continue to aggressively target medical professionals who act as drug traffickers cloaked in a white lab coat.” In addition to counts related to the undercover operation, the indictment charges Cham with fraudulently is-

suing prescriptions for controlled substances to Tracy Townsend, who used at least five false identities. Townsend, 51, of Studio City, is also charged in the indictment, but his whereabouts are currently unknown. An investigation by IRS—Criminal Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Financial Investigation Group showed that Cham used at least four bank accounts to launder the proceeds of his illegal prescriptions. The indictment charges Cham with concealing proceeds derived from the undercover visits by depositing them into an account held in the name of a separate business. An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. If convicted of the 31 counts in the indictment, Cham would face a statutory maximum sentence of 339 years in federal prison.

For over 100 preregistered K-12 children of low-income and homeless families who are clients of Foothill Unity Center; students and faculty of USC’s Ostrow School of Dentistry give low-income client children with serious dental needs the treatment they need at no cost to their families Major dental care is provided to children by USC dental students and faculty in a circle of converted RVs. Patients, identified during a dental screening of 245 children at the Center’s August Back-to-School distribution, will receive free Xrays, cleaning, sealants, plan of treatment and appointments for followup services during the week, including fillings, extractions and minor oral surgery. The Center is coordinating the project in collaboration with the Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC and the Duarte Unified School District. The total cost to the Center is $81,000. The total

value of services provided last year was over $190,000. Partial funding has been provided by generous sponsors including The Law Offices of Donald P. Schweitzer and individual donors. Funds are still needed. Celebrating its 35th birthday in 2015, Foothill Unity Center is the primary provider of food, case management/crisis help, and access to health care resources across eleven San Gabriel Valley cities. As the federally designated Community Action Agency for the Foothill Area, the Center operates two locations, in Monrovia and Pasadena, serving clients in Pasadena, Altadena, South Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Arcadia, Monrovia, Bradbury, Duarte, Azusa, Baldwin Park and Irwindale. 79% of clients are at or below the National Poverty Level. The number of people served has more than tripled over the last five years, making community funding and volunteer support more critical than ever.

Recycle Used Oil & Filters! Do you change your car’s motor oil? Did you know that used motor oil and oil filters are recyclable? Used oil can be re-refined or processed into new motor oil. Currently only 46% of used motor oil is being recycled, which means 20 million gallons may be illegally entering California’s waterways via stormwater systems, posing a great risk to the environment. One gallon of used oil can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water; polluting our waterways and threatening fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

Memories of San Gabriel Mission Dear Editor: Some highlights from the past 12 years at San Gabriel Mission include our family and others creating a few programs to get more people in the parish and outside communities involved. We found donations to help fund most of the programs; improved the gift shop in early 2000s; and this year, greatly increased the number of fiesta sponsors because of a lot of very supportive and loyal businesses led by Northgate Markets and San Gabriel Valley Newspapers Group. The cross on top of the old mission that was stolen was found and returned and now stands back atop the old mission church; the cross broken by the terrible wind storm a couple of years ago was replaced as the Jesus statue was beautifully restored by TerriLee Holm, Tina Trefethen, and Tom Trefethen. We also restored the gardens with the help of many Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Convergint Technologies; added an Indian village built by the Gabrieleno Tongva Band of Mission Indians; planted an original orange tree orchard from the mother tree that started the citrus industry in California (with great help from Toots Bier of UC Riverside Citrus Clonal Protection Program); added two historical wooden carts built by historical re-enactor Klaus Duebbert as he also restored the historic cannon using 100-year-old blacksmith’s tools; watched the progress of 800 hours of work led by Hendrik Keyser (RIP) to restore the beautiful mural on the winery wall; just recently planted a new grape-wine vineyard with vines from the mother vine at San Gabriel Mission that started the commercial wine industry in California—they are being monitored by wine consultant Arthur Przebinda and mission's vine specialist Jose Padron. We brought back native plants to the mission's gardens with educational signage helped by great expertise from

Cynthia Guthrie and Laima Harmon of Theodore Payne Foundation. We saved the mission models that Claretians built in the 1930s with parishioners, docents, girl scouts from La Crescenta, Southern California Plasterers Apprenticeship, and others involved. And we used a substantial financial donation by a mission docent to pay for almost all of the restoration work of a new wood structure and roof. We started a Gardeneers group that enhanced the gardens with many hours of volunteer work led by founding members Rev. Fr. Jack Hencier, CMF (RIP) Sister Bridgid Bray, Carlos Garcia, Connie Garcia, Theresa Gomez, Terry Householder, Mary Limon, Fran Lyons, Elizabeth Lyons, Matthew Lovio, Andrew Morales, and Marie Orozco. We installed the first mission bell in more than 150 years so that people can ring a mission bell; worked with David Mills (RIP) as he built six beautiful museum-safe cabinets so even more artifacts were put on display with the valuable help of Docent John Fantz, who donated hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to display as much as possible in the museum, with great support from previous mission pastors Rev. Fr. Ralph Berg, CMF, and Rev. Fr. Val Ramon, CMF, and led by Museum Committee Chairperson John Macias, Phd. They are mission docents who volunteer their time to learn about mission history and then donate countless hours giving tours to about 400 classes per school year, and really appreciate the many hundreds of hours of volunteer work by many good people having fun helping others. Oh yeah, an emergency event that still stands out in memory was when staff member Jose Padron and I saved the elementary school from a large fire, which I noticed and Jose quickly put out---a water heater fire. We thought the sisters were barbecuing on a day off from school in the summer

and we were trained to check to be sure. Good thing we ran fast as it grew! Whew. Thank you San Gabriel Fire and Police departments who last year cooperated on the mission's first all-inclusive emergency drill with all areas on the property participating. It obviously trained us to take fast action and, in this case, it might have saved considerable damage to the elementary school! The 106 History Days we did were educational while being fun; featuring Gabrieleno Indians, re-enactors of history, mission model building contest and exhibit, De Anza Expedition, native plants, history forum, history fair, meeting of local museums in San Gabriel Valley, art show, and one of the most popular history days that helped raise money to support a cause was the Donkey Rescue from Banning, along with many other topics. The Annual Car Show and Fiesta are always a lot of work yet the volunteers and participants make the two fundraising events really enjoyable. This was seventh year we had the Candles for Claretians to remember the Claretian Missionaries, Gabrieleno Indians, and other people buried in the old mission cemetery. It is always very special with the candle lighting. The mission has been alive with many events and due to budget cuts we hope at least a couple may continue, as the mission in recent years has been featured by local, regional, national and international news in a few languages, showing the good work and participation of so many good people. It's tough to have to walk away because of budget determined by a very few from a special place that so many people have helped build to what it is today, as it remembers and preserves the history as the birthplace of the greater Los Angeles area. Good memories are kept in your mind when they are made in your heart. Chuck Lyons

Letters to the Editor (Cont.) The planning commission

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

the approval of the Commission in order to build a new home in the City. All this was is a move to restrict the size of the homes that the property owners want to build. The Commission continues to reject every plan and tell the applicant that their design has too much mass and will use too much water. They already have knowledge that the people are applying for permits that they receive over the counter at the Building Department. They injected into the wordage of the update Plan a number of so-called water conservation ideas, which have little or nothing to do with this document. It further deteriorated when one commissioner wanted to have a city inspection of every existing home upon sale, and requiring that the seller install all these conservation

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

Election To the Editor, Let the good times roll! What is this election really about? The economy stupid! The president and Democrats have done a masterful job of turning around the recession economy they inherited from the Republicans in 2008. The headlines tell the story about the economy and where it is now: "Job-

less applications fall to 14 year low;" The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment aid has dropped to below 6 percent. "Raises are back in style;" Upturn underway in wage growth. "U.S. economy regains momentum," Confidence up. "U.S firms post most jobs in 7 years;" This years strong hiring trend is likely to continue.

"U.S. economy soars 4 percent." "Sizzling Auto Sales Spur Shortage." "Housing comes back to life." "Americans are spending like they mean it." Consumer spending represents 70% of GDP. With all this good news, have you heard one Republican or Tea Party politician talking about the positive economic signs? Ron Lowe, Santa Monica

Serving Leaders, Serving Teams A bi-monthly column by Heather Backstrom, Ed.D.

Leadership Lessons from Ron Berry: CEO, Pasadena Federal Credit Union Leaders make a difference and so do businesses. Ron Berry and the Pasadena Federal Credit Union (PFCU) are a prime example of this. Established in 1935, PFCU is built on a culture of community mindedness and financial soundness. I had the pleasure of interviewing Berry in which we discussed PFCU’s commitment to community involvement and his leadership style. Community Involvement: The credit union’s guiding principle to serve the underserved is very apparent in the community. Many of PFCU’s employees volunteer their time by serving meals at Union Station, gathering school supplies for Rosemary’s Children Foster Care and participating in the Humane Society’s wiggle-waggle walk. The credit union is active with many other organizations such as the Pasadena Police Activities League (PAL), Art Center College of Design, Five Acres and Villa Esperanza, just to name a few. Financial Literacy Programs: Ron pointed out that children aren’t taught financial literacy in the schools. To help address this PFCU teaches financial literacy classes throughout the community. One example is their partnership with the Girl Scouts of America where PFCU created a patch program that

includes lessons in budgeting and saving. In addition, PFCU teaches financial literacy courses with other nonprofits such as Union Station, Art Center College of Design and NATHA (Neighbors Acting Together Helping All). PFCU also partnered with the Pasadena Police and Flintridge Center to teach financial literacy to non-violent felons as part of their reintegration back into society. What’s the Business Case for Community Involvement? PFCU’s philanthropic culture helps both “build a responsible community” said Berry, and “generate loyal members who are financially smart.” As a result this helps members when qualifying for loans and reduces chargeoff risks for the credit union. Berry views PFCU’s involvement as being “a trusted partner in the community.” He went on to say that “choosing a financial institution is about trust and that’s another reason we’re active in the community.” Recognition and Awards: Berry is proud of the work PFCU has done in the community and the recognition it has gotten. The credit union has received readership awards from the Star News, Pasadena Weekly and LA Times. Recently, it was named one of The 10 Most Community Minded Credit

Ron Berry

Unions by Bad Credit.com (an organization that educates the public on credit decisions). Leadership: Berry, who became CEO in 2008, is not the stereotypical executive who leads with an iron-fist. “I am more of a collaborative leader” who prefers to be a mentor. He strives to instill a collaborative environment where staff build their professional skills and grow into capable leaders who “treat their employees the way they would like to be treated.” He is also a strong proponent of “surrounding yourself with talented employees and supervisors.” PFCU exemplifies how leaders and organizations can be successful while being community minded. Heather Backstrom is an executive coach, leadership development consultant and speaker. She has a doctorate in organizational leadership from Pepperdine University.

Man assaulted in Old Pasadena on life support On October 25, 2014 at approximately 1:00 AM, Pasadena Police officers responded to the 100 block of South Raymond Avenue regarding a person down on the sidewalk. Upon arrival, officers located the victim, Joseph Rafael, Asian male, 31, of Alhambra. Mr. Rafael was found unresponsive and officers administered CPR until paramedics arrived. Mr. Rafael was then transported to a local area hospital where he is currently

on life support due to significant head trauma. Officers leaned the victim and suspect, Giorgio Bustamante, Asian male, 30, of Alhambra, are roommates and had been attending a birthday celebration in Old Pasadena. Mr. Rafael and Mr. Bustamante became involved in an argument with each other that escalated into a physical altercation. Mr. Bustamante remained at the scene and was arrested and booked for attempted

homicide at the Pasadena Police Department Jail. He is being held on $1,000,000.00 bail. The investigation is on-going. Anyone with information is asked to contact Pasadena Police Detectives at (626) 744-4511, the Pasadena Police Dispatch non-emergency number at (626) 744-4241 or report anonymously at crimestoppers.com. Media inquiries will be handled by Lieutenant Rojas.

Pasadena receives grant for bicycle safety outreach The City’s Department of Transportation has received a $172,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for a yearlong bicycle safety outreach program to Pasadena-area children and their families. In Pasadena, there were 98 reported collisions involving bicyclists in 2013, including 91 injuries and 2 fatalities. This grant funding will provide an opportunity to make bicycling safer by providing more visibility to bicyclists at night, providing properly fitting bicycle helmets to bicyclists and educating both bicyclists and motorists about bicycle safety. The program includes distribution of bicycle lights and bicycle helmets in addition to the public education and outreach campaign. The grant also includes funding to upgrade the collision database system to help identify high crash rates. The first bicycle light distribution event will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2015, from 4 p.m. to

7 p.m. at the intersection of Marengo Avenue and Orange Grove Boulevard. The City’s Department of Transportation; Human Services and Recreation Department; Police Department; Pasadena Complete Streets Coalition, Day One and the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition will be providing free bicycle headlights and taillights to bicyclists who are riding without lights. City staff and volunteers will outfit the bicycles with the new lights while educating bicyclists about bicycle safety. Similar bicycle light distribution events will continue throughout various Pasadena locations during the next several months until spring 2015. When riding at night in California, a white front light and reflectors are required by law (CVC21201). More importantly, riding without lights and reflectors may be hazardous, since the bicyclist is less visible to motorists who are sharing the road. About 69% of bicyclist fatalities in 2012 in the U.S. were in urban areas,

and 48% of the bicyclist fatalities occurred between 4 p.m. and midnight, according to the most recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, (NHTSA “Traffic Safety Facts” April 2014 DOT HS 812018). “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 City of Pasadena Department of Transportation will be using these and other resources toreach 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.

California ranks 48th best on business taxes

California has the 48th best tax climate in the U.S. according to the latest edition of the State Business Tax Climate Index, released this morning by the nonpartisan Tax Foundation. The Golden State’s rank remains unchanged from its 48th place ranking last October. The Index, now in its 11th edition, measures how well structured each state’s code is by analyzing over 100 tax variables in five different categories: corporate, individual income, sales, property, and unemployment insurance taxes. States are punished for overly

complex, burdensome, and economically harmful tax codes but are rewarded for transparent and neutral tax codes that do not distort business decisions. A state’s ranking can rise or fall significantly not only because of its own actions, but also because of changes or reforms made in other states. The breakdown of California’s ranking this year is as follows (1st is best, 50th is worst): • C a l i f o r n i a ’ s overall State Business Tax Climate ranking: 48th • Corporate tax

structure: 34th • Individual income tax structure: 50th • Sales tax structure: 42nd • Property tax structure: 14th • Unemployment insurance tax structure: 14th “The federal government is gridlocked, but state policymakers on both sides of the aisle are enacting truly fundamental reforms,” said Tax Foundation Economist and Manager of State Projects Scott Drenkard. “States are doing their part and it’s time that Washington steps up.”

A P R E S E N TAT I O N F O R C A R E G I V E R S

Making a difference, one pet at a time... It takes someone who cares As part of our continuing desire to focus on those in our community who care for unwanted animals, we are highlighting here the work that animal rescue organizations and individuals do in helping homeless pets find homes.

What is a “Perfect Pet”? Are you looking for that perfect pet? Just what does the word, “perfect,” mean in a pet, anyway? Many folks come to a shelter with preconceived notions of what they want. Rarely do they find it, and often leave without considering one “less than perfect” who may be just as perfect, or even better for a particular family, than what they think they want! The saying for people--“Don't judge a book by its cover”--applies to pets, too! It is very hard to get an otherwise friendly, sweet, loving cat or dog adopted who may happen to be a bit below someone's standard. Cats with only one eye may look “imperfect,” yet play, eat, purr, and cuddle like the best of them! There is Blanca, a beautiful, loving, all-white cat, longing to thrive in a forever home. No meds needed. How hard is that? Pets with special needs are the most difficult to adopt and usually end up living their lives in a shelter, never knowing the security, attention,

by Darlene Papa Lifelineforpets.org and love of a real home. Yet, many of them need very little work! Take the case of sweet Cheeks, a young tuxedo cat with FIV. Because he can be contagious to other cats (but not to humans), he must stay indoors and be the only kitty. How hard is that? Other than that, he is a friendly and loving little guy. Then, there is little Boy Boo, a black cat who has a mild case of cerebral hypoplasia, which just means his back end flops down at times, but no meds are needed. Again, how hard is that? Lifeline for Pets just completed a rare adoption of a totally blind kitten, and his “normal” sibling. The young, adoptive couple have big hearts for those with special needs. The blind kitten is otherwise healthy, needs no meds, and is very smart. He uses his sense of hearing to play with the feather wand, enjoy his toys, and find his way. His sister is very caring towards him. The couple put a little bell on the sister, and whenever her brother hears it, he goes running to her.

How hard is that? Now that's a “perfect” situation! Many shelters and rescue organizations have “less adoptable” animals. Why not add one to your pet circle? We urge potential adopters to look with open minds. Ask questions, and consider the advice of the shelter volunteers, who know the animals well. Lifeline, for example, has a sweet, all-black kitten named Hawthorne, who was born with only one eye. He cuddles, purrs, and romps around with his tuxedo sister, Daisy. They would be an adorable pair to adopt! We think “two for one” is “purrfect”! How hard would that be? It is SO easy! Add a “Less Adoptable--but Perfect” pet to your life, today! Note: All animals above may be found at www.lifelineforpets.org. However, there are many other shelters and rescues, along with the Humane Society and Animal Control sites, where similar cases await a loving home.

Multi Faith Thanksgiving Service Nov. 24 in Arcadia Continuing an annual tradition, the Arcadia Interfaith Action Group is inviting community members of all faiths to take part in a Thanksgiving service where representatives from an array of faith traditions share the common beliefs that bring them together.

For more information, call Church of the Good Shepherd, (626) 447-2181.

The group is devoted to building bridges of understanding within the local community through interfaith services, gatherings of faith leaders from many traditions, and support of local service agencies.

Duarte volunteers invited to help decorate City of Hope’s 2015 Rose Parade Float

-Photo by Terry Miller

City of Hope and City of Duarte have designated Saturday, Dec. 27 "Duarte Day," an opportunity for local volunteers to work on City of Hope's especially significant 2015 Tournament of Roses Parade float. The leading research and treatment center for cancer, diabetes and lifethreatening diseases was founded in 1913 in Duarte and will be a participant in the 2015 Rose Parade on New Year's Day. "Helping to decorate a Rose Parade float that will be seen and enjoyed by millions of parade viewers around the world is a fun and exciting way to kick

off the new-year. Volunteering to work on the City of Hope float is a great opportunity for our Duarte residents to salute the City of Hope's over 100 years of life-saving work," said Deputy City Manager, Karen Herrera. City of Hope is recognized worldwide for its compassionate patient care, innovative science and translational research, which rapidly turns laboratory breakthroughs into promising new therapies. “Inspiring Stories,” the theme of the 2015 Tournament of Roses Parade, sets the stage for the City of Hope’s entry “Made Possible by Hope”

investigation was launched and detectives learned Rosa was not responsible for the emails and he was out of the country at the time the emails were generated. Further investigation revealed the e-mails were sent by Rosa’s estranged partner, David A. Galvan (Hispanic, male-38) who had unlawfully accessed Mr. Rosa’s Pasadena Unified School District e-mail account. Suspect-Galvan was reportedly angry over the relationship ending when he distributed the obscene pictures. On July 24, 2014, the case was filed with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office who issued a $110,000.00 warrant for the following charges: • Penal Code Section 529(a)(3)-False impersonation

(felony) • Penal Code Section 530.5(a)-Identity theft (felony) • Penal Code Section 528.5(a)-Internet/ Electronic impersonation (misdemeanor) • Penal Code Section 311.2(a)-Obscene matter (misdemeanor-2 counts) Galvan learned he was wanted by police and attempted to avoid arrest by hiding out in another state. With the assistance of the United States Marshal’s Office, Galvan was detained in Hillsboro, Oregon on October 21, 2014. Galvan waived extradition and was transported to the Pasadena City Jail late Wednesday evening, October 29, 2014. Galvan was later transported to Los Angeles County Jail where he remains in custody.

Smart Women Smart Money

By Emmy Hernandez Certified Financial Planner® Practitioner Attorney at Law Emmy, this may be a foolish question but can I put my house or another property I own into my IRA? This question is actually a rather common one. The answer is an unfortunate ‘No’. IRAs are retirement savings accounts where monies are put in and invested tax differed for future income. Previously owned tangible assets such as real estate, jewelry or artwork cannot be placed in an IRA.

For 2014, the standard contribution limit into an IRA is $5,500 per year. I don’t know of many houses worth so little. Such financial transactions are considered selfdealing and are prohibited behaviors for an IRA. So says the IRS code section 4975. I cannot determine from your question what the intent for putting your residence in the IRA would be. A living trust may be what suits your needs. But, no one may engage in an IRA transaction that benefits them in any way other than potential investment gains. Residing in a property owned by your IRA would be in direct conflict with this. Additionally, one cannot transfer previously

owned assets into an IRA in exchange for an equally valued cash withdrawal. You cannot lend money to your IRA to buy property or guarantee a loan taken by your IRA. This doesn’t mean an IRA cannot use its funds to invest in real estate. There are several avenues to do so. Investments in real estate may not be appropriate for all investors, so be sure to speak with a Certified Financial PlannerTM to discuss the benefits and any potential risks.

The 2014 Parade takes place on Saturday, November 15 begining at 11am or whenever Snotty Scotty is ready -in East Pasadena along Colorado Boulevard. On Doo Dah day, the street will swell with a memorable cast of local eccentrics, dissenters, pundits, mutant art cars, lone wolfs, steam punks, makers and merrymakers who comprise the Moveable Feast, Code Blue DeFibs medical satire, Flying Babies Cornhole, Nordic Men and Viking Ship, Toaster Car, Telephonasaurus, Coyote Jeff's Saucers, Sign Spinners, The Army of Toy Soldiers, beer boosting rockers Drunk in the Garage, Tortilla Target, The Billionaires, Free Thought Society, Cheesus Chrust Pizza Co., Unich Band, Bearded Ladies, Yiddish Dracula, OC Norml's Mardi Grass, Partying Parrotheads, Murrugun the Mystic, Man as Giraffe, Recumbent Revolution, legendary Doo Dah house band, 2014 Queen Narayana, Snotty Scotty & the Hankies, and Secret Santa to close the parade, among others. Last year, dozens of inventive, if zany, art cars and floats accompanied a legion of revelers past the mom-n-pop shops along East Pasadena's shady treelined streets. Additional

old and new entries coming back this year include Easy Acres Chicken Sitters, combined bands of the 35th Dragoon Guards, Highland Park Gentlemen's Club Thursday Evening Circuit Benders, King Louie, Human Pool Balls, Kinetic Pastry Science Mobile Muffins, BBQ & Hibachi Marching Grill Team, Eagle Universal, Howdy Krishna, Radioactive Man, Charlie and Pearl the Unicorns, Blues Brothers Tribute, Klingon Assault Group, Crimebo the Clown and Dr. Morbius. Yes, another Doo Dah is here to help you forget your humdrum existence! Known as the twisted sister of the conventional Rose Parade, the Occasional Pasadena Doo Dah Parade began as a grassroots event in 1978 to gain national attention for its eccentric and, often, irreverent satire. The parade has spawned numerous off-beat replicants across the country and was named by Reader's Digest as "America's Best Parade," and was recently featured in the book 50 Places You Must Visit Before You Die.

The world of local TV news is bleak. Tragic stories are churned out nightly of accidents, murders, deadly fires, and the list goes on and on. “Nightcrawler” is a thriller set in Los Angeles after dark that gives us a grim view of how nightly news stories are gathered and the backroom decision makers who broadcast them. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Lou Bloom, an intensely ambitious young thief who stops for a random car accident out of curiosity and discovers the profession of nightcrawling, where freelance camera crews film horrific events and sell their recordings to the highest bidding TV news station. Lou quickly buys a cheap camera and a police scanner and begins prowling the city at night, sloppily filming police incidents at first, but

when he gets headline-news worthy footage of a murder, Lou makes his first sale to Nina (Rene Russo), a sexy but amoral and haggard morning TV news director. As Lou quickly improves his talent as a cameraman, so does his financial status improve, which prompts him to buy a muscle car and take on an assistant (Riz Ahmed). Together, the two race through nocturnal Los Angeles and quickly become the nightcrawling industry leaders. But Lou’s greed and sociopathic tendencies cause him to start unraveling as he himself becomes the focus of the leading TV news story he filmed and the police investigation surrounding it. Dan Gilroy—who has written strong screenplays like “Two for the Money” and “The Bourne Legacy”—has

written another layered, nuanced, and original story with “Nightcrawler.” The film is a subversive social commentary on the American Dream, a character study of a frightening personality—perhaps not portrayed on screen since Christian Bale’s Patrick Bateman in “American psycho”—and a pulse-pounding thriller. This is Gilroy’s directing debut and as a filmmaker he shines as well. But it’s Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance that stands out from many of the film’s triumphs; he is shark-like; he’s cold; he’s calculating; he reads people and situations like a ruthless, corporate CEO who is always several moves ahead of everyone else. The subject matter in “Nightcrawler” may be bleak, but watching it unfold is never less than pure fun.

Collectors in Conversation: Monomaniac LA The Allendale Branch Library continues its “Collectors in Conversation” series with “Monomaniac LA,” a series of short videos directed by Joris Debeij which focuses on three unique Los Angeles-based historical collections and the collectors behind them, on Saturday, November 8, 2014, at 2:00 p.m., at 1130 S. Marengo Ave., Pasadena, CA 91106. Light refreshments will be served. Produced by LA as Subject, a collaborative of museums, libraries, and archives dedicated to preserving and making accessible Los Angeles history, and funded through Cal Humanities, the videos illuminate little-known aspects of the region’s history and examine the impulse to collect and share historical knowledge that drives both professional and amateur historians. The three collectors featured in the videos will also be in attendance to discuss their passion for documenting underexplored aspects of Los Angeles’s history. One of those profiled is Dr. Joseph Hawkins, director of the ONE National Gay and Lesbian

Archives at the USC Libraries, whose collection includes the personal papers of Jim Kepner, a science fiction fan and a pioneering activist for LGBTQ rights. His zines, artwork, and other materials from the 1950s and ‘60s reveal hidden harmonies between the two movements, with both envisioning a future where social progress would overcome the traditional ideas about gender identity and sexual orientation. A second collector, Carol A. Wells, founded the Center for the Study of Political Graphics in 1988, which contains more than 85,000 posters from the 19th century to the present. One of the focuses of her Culver City-based archive is preserving the early contributions of Southern California activist movements to national struggles for labor rights, racial and gender equality, and other causes. Finally, citriculture historian David Boulé has had a lifelong fascination with the history, culture, achievements, and uniqueness of California. Through his collection and

his book, The Orange and the Dream of California, he addresses the citrus industry’s role in shaping the myth of the “California dream” that inspired people from around the world to believe they could remake themselves in California. Other presenters will include Liza Posas, LA as Subject coordinator, and journalist and broadcaster David Kipen, who is the off-camera interviewer for the videos and who served as the humanities advisor for the “Monomaniac LA” project. “Collectors in Conversation” is an ongoing series of quarterly programs which showcases the wonderful world of collectors and collections, both private and institutional, and their ability to amaze, inspire, and enlighten the public.

Former Tournament of Roses’ Rose Queen Evanne Friedmann stars in coming-of-age high school thriller Two Burbank-born talents will be featured on the big screen when the acclaimed coming-ofage high school thriller As Night Comes begins its week-long Los Angeles theatrical release at Laemmle's prestigious Music Hall in Beverly Hills on Friday November 14, 2014. The film from Illuminate Pictures, which is conveniently located in Burbank-adjacent Hollywood in the Cahuenga Pass, stars Evanne Friedmann (iCarly) and was cowritten by Ryan Koehn. A then 16-year-old Ryan collaborated and co-wrote As Night Comes with veteran filmmaker Richard Zelniker, lending an unwavering authenticity to the feature film. As Night Comes follows troubled new kid, Sean Holloway, who falls in with a group of teenage outcasts called 'The Misfits,' under the wing of its charismatic leader, Ricky. On the eve of Halloween, Ricky’s anarchist plan for revenge spirals out of control, culminating in brutal violence, and ultimately Sean’s fight for survival and freedom. “I think what As Night Comes portrays are realistic characters that you’d find in high school. The outcasts who don’t fit in, the more popular kids who are trying to act a certain way to be cool, and the teachers who do their best to moderate it all,” said Ryan who is currently in the USC MFA Writing

for Film and Television program and believes this film is for anyone who ever for one second hated high school, or felt like they didn’t fit in. “I think we’ve all felt at one time judged for who we are or how we feel. There’s a certain alienation that comes from that which is possibly at its peak in high school, when the worst thing you could do is stand out. Ironically, it’s after we grow up and move on that we realize that the thing that makes us stand out is the best thing about us.” Evanne, the former 2010 Tournament of Roses’ Rose Queen, who stars as Sarah, the goodgirl love interest of a struggling Sean, agrees. “I can absolutely relate to the film. Identifying where you belong in High School/Middle School was a main theme for myself. I was always trying to put myself in a group. Was I

cool? Was I a nerd? An artsy kid? Did I belong with the theatre kids? Did I belong with the sarcastic kids? Was it wrong to drink at parties, or was I cool if I did that?” said Evanne who continues to study her craft at USC as well. “Hopefully, when people watch this movie, they will try to see others’ actions through that person’s eyes, and perhaps have a greater understanding that people attempt to cope with the pain in their life however they can.” As Night Comes, described by Director Richard Zelniker as “a dark, gritty look into the turbulent underworld of high school rebellion” also stars Luke Baines (The Ever After), Myko Oliver (Castle), Stacia Hitt (Neighbors) and Jesse Kove (Bunyan) among others. Following its theatrical run, As Night Comes will be available via VOD on December 5, 2014.

dining & entertainment LCPC to present Murder Mystery Spoof

“The Real Inspector Hound,” a Tom Stoppard play that spoofs the whodunits of Agatha Christie, will be presented for five performances beginning this Friday evening by the La Canada Presbyterian Church Drama Ministry. Directed by Justin S. Fisher, the family-friendly comedy presents the clichéd plot of a secluded English country manor house, ominous radio reports of a criminal on the loose, visitors behaving suspiciously, a relative with a shady past and an un-

identified dead body. It will be staged in the church’s Worship Arts Center at 8 p.m. this Friday, Nov. 7, and Saturday, Nov. 8, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Nov. 9. There will be two performances the following weekend, at 8 p.m. on Nov. 14 and 15. Written in the early 1960s and constructed as a play within a play, the story involves two theater critics, Moon and Birdfoot, who are preparing to review the latest mystery. Can they stay on the sidelines as the

plot unfolds? Fisher invites the community to enjoy some hilarious live theater – with the challenge of trying to figure out whodunit! Admission is $15, and two-for-one tickets are available for students, seniors, veterans and YMCA members. La Canada Presbyterian Church is located at 626 Foothill Blvd. For more information about this latest offering in the church’s Ovations Arts Series, visit ovations@lacanadapc.org or call (818) 790-6708, ext. 251.

real estate, home & garden What does an unstable world mean for the markets?

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

massive decline in home values across much of the nation • A deep financial crisis that proved to be a major setback to the global economy • The highest unemployment rate in nearly 30 years • U.S. involvement in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq • Continued tensions in other areas of the Middle East These are among the biggest headline issues that have come into play in the past 15 years. The stock market clearly suffered through some of those periods, with bear markets occurring from 2000 to 2002 and again from late 2007 to early 2009. Yet, the markets recovered as they have throughout history. Bad news is part of the landscape Today, major events across the globe can be felt close to home in a large and diverse, yet interconnected world. Investors are wise to stay abreast of how specific issues may impact their investment decisions. The question is whether the impact on the markets will be just a reaction to developments that is quickly overcome by other fundamental factors, or whether the event will create a secular change in the markets. The S&P 500 Financial sector index peaked at 509.55 in February 2007, and then dropped to below 100 in early 2009. As of September 2014, it is back above 300, but a long way from its peak2. The crisis clearly had a negative impact on that sector of the market that lingers to this day. At a broader level, however, the stock market has more than recovered the

ground it lost from 2007 to 2009. At the end of August, the Dow Jones Industrial Average stood at more than 17,000, 20% higher than the peak it achieved prior to the downturn that began in 2007. It follows a long-term trend. Going back in history, the value of the stock market as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen over time. There have been periods of decline. But the market has historically overcome these setbacks. From World Wars to the Great Depression to the Arab Oil Embargo of the 1970s to the tragedy of 9/11, business continues and companies keep finding ways to generate profits. While today’s headlines shouldn’t be ignored, be careful not to let them be overly influential as you position your portfolio for the long run. Jean D.

Descanso Oak Woodland opens Nov. 15

Descanso Gardens will unveil the Oak Woodland, its first addition in 30 years, with a public opening at 9 am on Saturday, Nov. 15. With its mix of woodland, meadow and chaparral plants, the Oak Woodland recreates the heritage landscape of the Los Angeles Basin - a plant community that included grasses, perennials, shrubs and, of course, oaks. Previously closed to the public, this 7.7-acre space connects the California Natives Garden with access to the Rose Garden, the lake and the bird observation area. As part of the grand opening, a model of the Mars rover from NASA/ Jet Propulsion Laboratory will be on display. Opening day activities are free with admission and include: 9 to 10:30 am: Mars rover on display 10 am to 2 pm: Woodland crafting for all ages 10:30 am: Family walk in the Oak Woodland 11:30 am & 2 pm: Guided walks of the Oak

Woodland The green-space reopens to the public a lakeside parcel of Descanso that closed in the early 1990s. The woodland mixes individual and grouped trees with native bunchgrass meadows. Winding paths lead visitors through the landscape, with seating on benches, boulders and other nooks. A boardwalk will allow visitors to stroll along the lake and observe bird activity. A wildlife camera has been installed in the Oak Woodland in partnership with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. It has captured images of animals large and small, including gray squirrels, which are rare in the Gardens. The new garden has been under development for nearly five years and built with support from the Ayrshire Foundation and the Men's Garden Club of Los Angeles. Construction funding came from Proposition A funds committed by the Fifth District Los Angeles County Supervisors

Office (the Honorable Michael D. Antonovich) and awarded to the Los Angeles Conservation Corps, an enthusiastic nonprofit education organization, whose green-helmeted students and supervisors have been clearing weeds, grading, building roads and trails, installing irrigation, and planting some 30,000 new plants over the past year. Community volunteers also had a hand in the work, turning out one warm March morning to plant hundreds of natives in the new garden. Admission to Descanso Gardens is $9 general, $6 seniors/students with I.D., $4 children 5 to 12; children 4 and younger free. Descanso Gardens is located at 1418 Descanso Drive, La Cañada Flintridge, CA 91011. Open every day except Christmas. Information: (818) 949-4200 or descansogardens.org. Descanso Gardens is a member-supported garden and accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

High school tutors provide academic support to Mountain View School District students Aspiring teachers in Mountain View High School’s Teacher Preparation Academy (TPA) are making a great impact as tutors at La Primaria and Madrid Schools in the Mountain View School District (MVSD). The group of approximately 80 high school juniors and seniors visit the schools two to three times per week and work directly with classroom teachers to provide instructional assistance, including one-on-one tutoring or group help in reading, writing, and math. They also help decorate bulletin boards, organize lessons, grade papers and any other activity that a classroom teacher experiences. MVSD’s partnership with TPA began over 10 years ago and has proven to be a beneficial program for the high school and younger students, as well as teachers. “It has been my privilege to have TPA tutors in my classroom for the past several years,” said Kelly Garstang, La Primaria 5th grade teacher. “They serve not only as tutors but also as friends and most importantly as role models. Scores of my students have benefited from the mentorship the TPA tutors provide, and all of my students are looking forward to the day they can return to La Primaria as TPA tutors.” The TPA program is coordinated by Mt. View High teachers Amy Minick and Mary Boutté and is a threeyear academy that operates through a state grant. The program is for 10th through 12th grade students and offers an opportunity for them to explore a career in education as a teacher, counselor

or administrator. During their first year in TPA students take a child development class and learn about classroom management and cross-age tutoring. As juniors they take Careers in Teaching Level 1 and begin tutoring. This year the juniors are working with Madrid Middle School students. During their senior year, TPA members take Careers in Teaching Level 2 and work as elementary school tutors. La Primaria School is the lucky recipient again this year of TPA’s 12th grade tutors. “Our tutors help us a lot,” said Armando Enriquez, La Primaria 5th grader. “We are working on really hard math and it is good to have extra help with it.” According to Minick the tutors are helping students make the transition to the new Common Core testing that requires not only getting the right answer but showing the work and how the answer was obtained. “Our tutors use white boards and work with the younger students to really dissect the math problems and show them how to show their work, step by step,” said Minick. In addition to aspiring educators, TPA is a great program for students interested in service-oriented careers such as medicine, law enforcement or social work because it helps them develop their social skills by working with people on a daily basis. The program is extremely popular at Mt. View High and has a waiting list of students eager to join. “Many students are motivated to join because they know TPA has the money

to take them on field trips to colleges or other places they might not be able to go,” said Minick. “They also know that the academy pushes them academically and keeps them accountable for their grades. We love working with Mountain View School District students and our partnership over the years has been wonderful.” Angelica Garcia, a senior tutor at La Primaria and former MVSD student, loves to help the kids. “I just love working with the kids! I’ve been in TPA for three years and it’s been great. I hope to become a teacher someday and TPA has provided great training for me,” she said. Maria Martinez, also a senior tutor, hopes to enter

the medical field and knows the interaction with the students and teachers her tutoring provides will be very beneficial as she pursues her career goals. “By working with the kids and teachers I am able to develop my socialization and organizational skills which I know will help me in my future,” said Martinez. Through TPA, Minick and Butté are preparing their students for much more than teaching; they are preparing them to be responsible, capable, self-reliant, and compassionate people. The worthwhile program provides the care, the mentorship, the opportunities, and the support for the both the high school and younger students to be on the path to success.

Blair High School photography students promote breast cancer awareness

In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, photography students at Blair High School in the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) were given a special assignment: create a public service announcement (PSA) that will generate awareness about breast cancer. Through creating a black, white and pink portrait, students were able to share their personal experiences and messages of hope. "I wanted to give the students an assignment that went along with the theme of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Steve Solis, photography teacher at Blair High School. “Many high school students use social media. When they share their finished portraits online, I believe they can make a difference by helping to get the word out about getting checked.” Part of the assignment was to research statistics and facts about breast cancer awareness from various reliable sources. With research in hand, each photography student was instructed to write on their hands or arms, a statistic or short phrase that they wanted to make the public aware of about breast cancer. Included in the portrait, the subject was to have on one pink item or wear the breast cancer awareness ribbon. The inspiration for

this project came from "Dear World", a business/art project/social experiment (http:// www.dearworld.me) where people write messages on their bodies to tell a visual story. “Through this project I learned that there were more than 2.8 million women with a history of breast cancer. This stood out to me because that's a huge number and my grandma is a part of that group,” said Blair photography student India Epps. “I'm now more enlightened on what many women go through and I am very thankful for her sur-

vival.” "We are hoping to display the gallery of work in the front office at the school and/or district office for people to view,” continued teacher Solis. “If just one person sees the students' work and is encouraged to get checked, we've reached our short-term goal. I'm hoping our message through the wonderful art of photography, helps accomplish that.” The finished portraits may be viewed online through the classroom Pinterest page at: http://www. pinterest.com/chelsea4315/ breast-cancer-awareness/.

Schools Chief Torlakson announces $250M available in pathway grants State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson today invited school districts and community colleges to apply for $250 million in California Career Pathways Trust grants for programs that provide skills and practical experience to help students prepare for success in college and careers. “This program is a great example of teamwork among educators and employers,” said Torlakson. “By giving students a taste of the working world before they graduate, these programs motivate and excite students, reduce the drop-out rate, and increase the college attendance rate.”

A career pathway program helps students chart the classes they need in high school and community college to prepare for work in a particular industry. These programs lead students to two-year degrees, certificates, or fouryear degrees that prepare them for highly skilled jobs in growing industries. In the first round of funding last May, grant requests exceeded the $250 million available for funding. In this second round, an additional $250 million is available. The grants pay for collaboration efforts among school districts, community colleges, business, and community leaders, and the development of

courses. For application information, visit the California Department of Education’s (CDE) California Career Pathways Trust Implementation Grant and California Career Pathways Consortium Development Grant Web pages. The CDE also will hold several Grant Workshops in November for prospective applicants. The CDE is working with the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office and the California Workforce Investment Board to offer this grant. This effort furthers Torlakson’s Career Readiness initiative to curb dropouts and support career technical education.

Klein kicks off to an auspicious start By SHEL SEGAL Matt Klein, a senior on the Pasadena High boys’ water polo team, got off to an auspicious start with the sport. “I started my freshman year,” Klein said. “I played a little bit of club, but I quit when I was in the seventh grade because I was a baseball player then. But after my sophomore year I decided to start playing club and I’ve been playing club for two years.” But ever since then it’s been nothing but goals for Klein. Klein said he likes the tough play you find in a water polo pool. “The physicality is fun,” he said. “There’s a little bit of a football-esque manner when you’re in the game. It gets rough, but it’s great in the water. It’s a different kind of experience and I think it’s pretty unique.” He added there is much more to water polo than meets the average fans’ eyes. “It’s fast-paced, but there’s definitely a lot going on under the water that not a lot of people see: hitting, punching, kicking,” he said. Klein’s older brother

plays water polo at Brown University in Rhode Island. He added he is trying to follow in his big brother’s footsteps. “I’m definitely trying to play in college,” he said. “I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m looking at some East Coast schools.” Klein does swim for Pasadena High, but admitted the lack of contact is why he is not in love with the sport. “Swimming’s kind of monotonous,” he said.

He’s our high scorer right now, extremely strong. He has an amazing work ethic. He’ll hopefully play in college, as well. And he has a wonderful game sense.” Klein said he has learned much from Jacobsen-Huse during her short time at the helm of the team. “She definitely taught me a better mentality about the game,” Klein said. “She taught me about patience, especially just staying calm in the water and being able to be coached, kind of like a leadership attitude really helps.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.

California District 17 little league all-stars claim two tournament titles

-Courtesy Photo

Timely team hitting and clutch pitching were a winning combination for the Admirals Elite Baseball Club this weekend as they battled to take the 12u sliver championship of the annual USSSA Halloween Haunt Tournament at the Fountain Valley Recreation Center. The Admirals, a new club team comprised of California District 17 little league all-stars, have now claimed two tournament titles in only two months of existence. Sunday, Arcadia's Michael Gruppie went the

distance on the mound as the Admirals defeated the Villa Park Patriots, 11-4, in a game that was close until the Admirals scored five late runs. In the top of the fourth, the Patriots put the tying runs in scoring position with one out before Gruppie retired big Derek Benton on a popup and the struck out Kevin Nagao swinging to end the threat. Gruppie and Altadena's Sam Gutierrez and Riley Russell paced the Admirals at the plate with two RBIs each; Gutierrez and Russell both had two hits with one of Gutierrez'

hits a a double. The Admirals got to the championship game thanks to heroics from Arcadia's Julian Eskridge, who helped his own pitching cause with a pair of triples off Beach Baseball Club's tough left-hander Dave Majerus that each traveled more than 250 feet at spacious Fountain Valley Recreation Center's main diamond. Both booming extra-base hits scored Gruppie, who had the Admirals only other two hits, one of them a double, in an exciting 6-5 victory. Eskridge went 3 1/3 innings, allowing only one earned run, to earn the victory. The Admirals received stellar defensive plays from Altadena's Jackson Bacon at first and Arcadia's Ryan Rizzo in left field to help preserve the win as Pasadena's Jack Clougherty got the final out with the potential tying and go-ahead runs on base. Saturday, in their tournament-opening game,

the Admirals ended a twogame losing streak to the Patriots by exploding for eight runs in the fourth inning en route to reversing a 4-1 deficit and claiming a 9-5 victory. Clougherty had his best day at the plate as an Admiral with two hits including a long run-scoring double, Altadena's Ben Staub had two RBIs, Arcadia's Kellen Gewecke had

two hits and Rizzo scored two key runs. Altadena's Colin Noble had a key RBI hit in the fourth-inning uprising when eight Admirals in a row reached base and they sent 11 batters to the plate. The Admirals were paced overall offensively at the Halloween Haunt tournament by Gruppie, who had six hits; Gewecke, three (in only two games);

Noble, three; and Clougherty, three. Gruppie closed the game for winning pitcher Eddie Jin of Arcadia by striking out the side in his one inning of work. Bacon turned in a solid starting effort as the Admirals demonstrated impressive pitching depth. The Admirals return to tournament play this weekend.

AHF on Ebola: World must rethink role of World Health Organization

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), which has lost two physicians in Africa to Ebola, delivers an urgent letter to W.H.O. Director General Dr. Margaret Chan outlining nine urgent proposals to improve the global response to the Ebola crisis in West Africa. In a letter addressed to Dr. Margaret Chan, Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the largest AIDS nonprofit organization in the USA that provides HIV care, treatment and testing services to over 350,000 individuals in 36 countries, expressed its concern regarding the Organization’s handling to date of the Ebola crisis ravaging West Africa. In the letter, AHF let Dr. Chan know that it has been directly affected by the African Ebola outbreak: First, Dr. Sheik Humarr Khan, AHF’s Medical Officer in Sierra Leone overseeing AHF’s HIV/AIDs care there and who was also that country’s leading Ebola

specialist, died due to Ebola infection on July 29th. Subsequently, Dr. John Taban Dada, a consultant with AHF’s partner organization in Liberia, People Associated for People’s Assistance (PAPA), died October 9th of Ebola. In addition AHF’s service delivery operations in Sierra Leone have been severely disrupted. In its letter, AHF also expressed to Dr. Chan that it has been engaged in a close and constructive dialogue with a number of WHO officers handling the Ebola crisis. However, at this time, AHF shared remaining concerns and specific requests that AHF thinks will benefit and improve the Ebola response to help bring the outbreak under control more quickly and effectively while achieving a positive longterm impact. Therefore, in its letter to Dr. Chan, AHF urged the World Health Organization to: "Commit to the evacuation of any healthcare worker infected with Ebola in West

Africa, not just foreigners. Either to foreign countries or to regional or in-country stateof-the-art equipped facilities. "Provide written assurances to healthcare personnel in the three hardest-hit

countries that they will be evacuated and receive topquality care in case of infection. "Mobilize more welltrained healthcare workers from around the world and deploy them in the West African Region. "Procure appropriate

patient to prevent relatives or partners of getting infected during those stages. "Re-visit the WHO media and communication strategy. "Hold press conferences twice a week, led by the WHO Director General. "Call on the world lead-

ers to rethink and reshape the structure and mandate of WHO. "Involve civil society organizations that have in-thefield experience in providing healthcare services as part of a rapid response to control new and emerging transmissible diseases." The letter was signed by AHF’s President Michael Weinstein and six additional global staff members of AHF, including Miata Jambawai, AHF’s country program Manager in Sierra Leone, who is actively involved at her country’s Ebola Emergency Operations Center. Terri Ford, AHF’s Chief of Global Policy and Advocacy, and a signatory to the letter commented, “AHF’s letter to WHO is based in good faith, but at the same time we are demanding and expecting changes and rapid action. Thousands have already died, the World Health Organization could slow the rate of deaths by adopting these recommendations.” Dr. Jorge Saavedra,

AHF’s Global Ambassador and Former Head of the National AIDS Center of Mexico, also commented, “AHF lauds the role MSF has been playing in the response to Ebola, which has been commendable, highly effective and far beyond its responsibilities; on the other hand, the response of WHO has been slow, ineffective and has lacked coordination. It is likely that a change of WHO’s current leadership is also needed,” he added. Finally, Michael Weinstein, President of AHF, suggested, “The world needs a different kind of international public health body, probably one that can be created via a UN Security Council resolution—and one without the bureaucracy that involves the current international health system—that is capable of directly intervening to bring effective and rapid control to situations involving emerging or transmittable diseases that can metastasize and grow to become global threats as Ebola has become.”

One big upset, however, was Proposition 47 which voters overwhelming said YES to. This potentially means the release of 10,000 felons from state prison; reduces penalties for stealing guns. Reduces penalties for possession of "date rape" drugs. The proposition was strongly opposed by prosecutors, law enforcement, and the business community and by crime victims and sexual abuse victims. Rep.Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) who was returned by a large percentage released the following statement after being reelected to represent the 28th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives: "I'm very grateful to the voters of the 28th Congressional District for the opportunity to continue serving them. In the upcoming session, I will again focus on restoring our economy, creating jobs, and helping small businesses succeed.

SGV's Kevin and Kyle George of the George Group extend helping hand to include veterans and seniors in need

With Veterans’ Day quickly approaching, it seems a fitting time to shed some light on a San Gabriel-based father and son, who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes, professionally and personally, to make a difference in other people’s lives, including the oft-forgotten. On paper, Kevin and Kyle George manage “The George Group,” a division of First Trust and Real Estate and Mortgage, located in South Pasadena at 1499 Huntington Drive Suite #500, where they successfully provide their clients with first class services from “Four Generations of Real Estate and Mortgage Professionals.” In reality, they do a whole lot more! What began on a local level with “The George Group” speaking to student Veterans at local colleges to inform and educate them about their VA loan benefits and planning for their family’s future, has evolved into a life-changing association with the Vet Hunters and The Vet Hunters Project. A nonprofit 501c-3 organization founded by Iraq combat veteran Joe Leal, The Vet Hunters Project’s mission is to find and help displaced veterans throughout the country and connect them to the resources and knowledge they need to reintegrate back into society. They do this by bringing it to where the homeless veterans are, whether it be on the streets, by railroad tracks, under bridges or in broken down cars. Now an integral member of the Vet Hunters team and a Board Member, Kevin remains an informed and impassioned volunteer and advocate who also now serves on the Veterans Employment committee of the San Gabriel Valley as well as Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti’s “Project

Vets” Committee to work on allowing Veterans to ride Metro transportation for free. “The stories are painful and plentiful,” said Kevin, who recounts among one of the most notable, a visit to a cold weather shelter in Glendora last winter, where he and the Vet Hunters encountered a Veteran lying on the floor because his back, which was injured during Viet Nam war, made it unbearable to lay in a cot. The wounded veteran stated that he had tried to register with the VA numerous times soon after he was discharged but was told that his records were lost in the fire in St. Louis. Three decades, of doing without and sleeping on the streets, later, The Vet Hunters were able to confirm this man’s service to his country and take him to the Long Beach VA the next day. A week later, he had the back surgery he so desperately needed. Many months later, he finally received the service connected back pay so long over-due. “This is what we do every day, every night and the hours in between,” said Kevin who, along with the Vet Hunters, recently befriended an 85 year old Korean War Veteran with one leg who was living in his car for the past five years. After some time and finally gaining his trust, he allowed the Vet Hunters to get him registered with the VA. Today, he has a new prosthetic leg and will have a roof over his head in one week as he qualified for housing assistance from the VA. “These are our “OPRAH MOMENTS” as we call them. These men and women aren’t getting a makeover or a vacation; they’re getting their lives back!” With Kevin devoting much of his time to the Vet Hunters, Kyle is manning

The George Group. In addition to working with Veterans, Kevin and Kyle are also passionate about working with seniors in the community. “While we are full service mortgage professionals that are able to assist clients with purchase loans, refinance and VA loans, a lot of our business is also centered around informing and educating seniors about the reverse mortgage products out there on the market,” said Kyle, who has a knack for simplifying and explaining what is oftentimes thought of as confusing and complex. “This can allow seniors the ability to afford in-home or facility based care for a themselves or a loved one while not having to worry about being uprooted from a home that they have lived in most of their lives.” A proud member of the community for more than 45 years, Kevin married his high school sweetheart, Irene, from Temple City High 37 years ago, lives in Azusa and maintains a thriving business in South Pasadena. Kyle, who both lives and works in Pasadena, is set marry his longtime sweetheart, Jenny, next May. “Like Father, Like Son,” laughed Kevin. And there is so much to like...about both of them and all that they give back to the community! More Information on The George Group and the menu of services they provide can be found by visitingwww.kylegeorgegroup. com or by calling Kevin at (714) 981-4038 or Kyle at (626) 786-5512.

The changes enacted by this measure are effective immediately. (Cal. Const. Art. 2, sec. 10.) Numerous drug and theft-related crimes that were previously felonies or "wobblers" are now misdemeanors, unless committed by "Prop 47 Ineligible" criminals— namely, 290(c) registrants, and those with a prior for the very serious crimes listed in PC 667(e)(2)(c)(iv)—such as homicide offenses and crimes punishable by death

"Shoplifting" as defined may not be charged as theft or burglary. • PC 473(b)—forgery of checks and related instruments of not more than $950. • PC 476a—NSF checks totaling not more than $950 (unless 3 or more specified priors). • PC § 490.2—grand theft (any form) not more than $950. • PC 496(a)— receiving/concealing stolen property not more than $950. • PC 666—"wobbler" "petty theft with a prior" applies only to "Prop 47 Ineligible" defendants with specified priors, and certain elder abusers. For

all other defendants, petty thefts are misdemeanors, regardless of the number of priors. • H&S 11350— simple possession of heroin, cocaine, listed controlled substances. • H&S 11357(a)—simple possession of concentrated cannabis. • H&S 11377— simple possession of methamphetamine, ecstasy, GHB, listed substances. In addition to these reductions, Prop 47 also enacted new PC 1170.18, which sets forth procedures for those previously convicted and sentenced for a felony that is now a misdemeanor under this proposition to petition for resentencing under the misdemeanor provisions. Unless a court determines

that the person poses an "unreasonable risk" of committing one of the crimes listed in PC 667(e) (2)(c)(iv), the petitioner will get resentenced, and his/her conviction will be deemed a misdemeanor for all purposes, except possessing firearms. The provisions of "Marsy's Law" will apply to the resentencing. Whereas many of the previous felonies carried three-year statutes of limitation and resulted in arrests, bookings, higher bail, in-custody filing deadlines, DA prosecution, preliminary hearings and felony sentences, the new misdemeanor classifications will generally mean one-year statutes of limitation, citation and release per PC 853.6, city attorney prosecution in some jurisdictions, shorter

trial deadlines, and lighter maximum sentences. In those cases where a loss above $950 makes the crime a felony, value will need to be established and included in crime and arrest reports, and must be pled and proved at prelim and trial, and included in the factual basis for a guilty plea. Officers should especially remember to obtain evidence of value from victims (or other sources) in cases where amount of loss was not previously relevant, such as theft of firearms and vehicles, and thefts from the person. Proposition 47 reduced specified offenses to misdemeanors, created a new "shoplifting" crime, and allows resentencing of certain convicted felons as misdemeanants.

OIR McDade Report to be released Continued from page 1

American youth Kendrec McDade. Judge Chalfant indicated that he expects to issue an order on Friday directing the City of Pasadena to release a redacted version of the OIR report. Pasadena Police Department officer Matthew Griffin and Jeffrey Newlen shot and killed Kendrec McDade in 2012 after a false report by that two youths with guns had robbed a victim; the officers chased McDade for several blocks, before shooting him, claiming he believed that he had a gun.

However, McDade was unarmed. In court Tuesday, Judge Chalfant indicated that he was overruling the request of the PPOA that he redact even more than the 14 pages that the City of Pasadena has chosen to redact from the OIR Report. The Judge did order four additional relatively short redactions but also ordered the City not to redact two entries it had chosen to redact; the Judge did not decide on three redactions because the city had not shown him what it was redacting.

He ordered the City to produce that information by Thursday morning so he can issue his final order on Friday. Although the PPOA initiated the proceeding to block even the redacted version of the OIR report, no one representing the PPOA showed up at the hearing today. The Los Angeles Times, McDade’s mother Anya Slaughter, the Pasadena NAACP, ACT, and the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance member Kris Ockershauser

intervened in the lawsuit seeking to get the whole report released. Dale Gronemeier one of the attorneys for the interveners, summed up the proceeding today by saying, “we gained some openness, lost a little bit of openness, but nothing much changed today. We hope that the lengthy delays on the public getting at least 80% of the OIR Report are now coming to an end and we can now focus on the problem of police shooting unarmed youths rather than having to fight for open government.”

into 5-2 favorite Shared Belief at the start, forcing that rival to check as he bumped into Moreno to his inside and was steadied between horses. The stewards immediately put up the inquiry sign after the race but ruled the interference didn’t affect the final outcome. Jockey Mike Smith aboard Shared Belief, who sustained his first loss in eight career starts with a non-threatening fourth, was unhappy with the situation “I was never able to get comfortable after getting hit at the break,” Smith said. “I think it cost me the race.” The dark bay colt earned $2,750,000 for the Classic. Mike Smith did, however, have an earlier win aboard Judy the Beauty (1st) – “Absolutely dynamite. I couldn't have asked for a better trip. Almost every step of it, except for almost getting caught. She broke extremely well which at times can be very crucial for her because sometimes she gets away really bad. I was happy about that; one of the best she's ever left the gate. We saw that work at Keeneland. We knew she was ready.” Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert reported that all of his Breeders’ Cup starters came out of their races in good order, but all of the buzz was

about Bayern, who delivered Baffert his 11th Breeders’ Cup victory and his first in the Classic in 13 tries dating back to 1998. “I have never seen so much animosity over a horse race,” Baffert said. “It seems like people forgot how to watch a race.” Owned by Kaleem Shah, Bayern broke inward at the start starting a chain reaction that prompted a steward’s inquiry. “If the stewards had not posted the inquiry, there would not have been one,” Baffert said. “Mike Smith (who rode Shared Belief) wasn’t going to (claim foul). He said all the trouble happened a little later when the 9 (Toast of New York) came over and by that time, my horse was already gone.” Under Martin Garcia, Bayern led all the way to prevail by a nose over Toast of New York with California Chrome another neck back, completing the 1 1/4m in 1:59 4/5. “The sad part about all of this is that it distracts from what he did yesterday,” Baffert said. “It’s not like he is a fluke. He can do it all and he’s a fighter. You could tell he was not going to let that other horse (Toast of New York) by.” Saturday’s events were

all part of the game to Baffert. “You just have to have racing luck,” Baffert said. “Game On Dude never got a trip (in the past two Classics) like Bayern got yesterday. I wish he had gotten them. You are not going to win without racing luck. “At the Preakness, Ria Antonia got us right out of the gate, but I didn’t cry about it. That’s just racing.” The ninth-place finish in the Preakness and a 10thplace finish in the Travers are the only off-the board finishes for Bayern, who did not debut until Jan. 4 this year. “After he won the Haskell, when he got back to Del Mar he missed five days of training and I probably shouldn’t have gone to Saratoga (Travers),” Baffert said. “When he is right, he is poison out of the gate. He’s like a Quarter Horse. He’s brilliant; he’s so fast. He can win going six (furlongs), seven, a mile, a mile and a quarter.” Shah was happy with the Classic victory. “I just wish it would have come without all the controversy,” Shah said. “If he is healthy, I would like (to take a shot at) the Dubai World Cup. When Bob tells me he is ready to roll, we roll. As long as he stays healthy and sound, he’ll run at 4, 5 and 6.”

Pasadena PD

October 30, Homicide Suspect John Piepoli, coconspirator in the January 15, 2103 murder of Zane Goldstein was convicted of first degree murder along with special circumstances. Gang and firearm allegations were sustained (found to be true). Piepoli is facing life without the possibly of parole plus 25 years to life. The Trial District Attorney in the trial commended Sergeant Bzdigian (Lead Investigator) and Corporal Bill Broghamer for their professionalism and the quality of their testimony during trial. October 30, at about 11:23 p.m., Pasadena police officers responded to the 80 block of Pepper Street regarding a burglary in progress. The victim returned home and observed a juvenile suspect jumping over his backyard fence. The victim immediately called the Pasadena Police Department and officers detained a group of juveniles nearby. The victim later

identified the suspect and the suspect was taken into custody without incident. October 31, at about 9:21 p.m., Pasadena police officers assigned to the Special Enforcement Section (SES) were on patrol when they conducted a traffic stop on Carlton Street and Lincoln Avenue. Officers contacted the driver, a known gang member, and through their investigation recovered a .45 caliber pistol. The suspect was arrested without incident and later booked at the Pasadena jail. This particular arrest is significant, in part, because it removes yet another firearm from our community. October 31, several Pasadena Police officers were assigned specific patrol duties related to Halloween. During their shift the officers completed several 290 Compliance Checks (Sex Registrants) throughout the city to ensure the subjects were not handing out candy to children.
