Arcadia Council Divided Over Preservation Vs. Development BY LYNN CURRY The Arcadia City Council directed its staff to review a 2001 historic preservation survey of buildings and homes in Arcadia at its bi-weekly meeting. In an earlier study session, the Council requested the staff consider whether this survey requires updating or whether a new one should be conducted.

BY TERRY MILLER It took a mere 14 hours on a very comfortable, direct flight from LAX via EVA Air to be transported into another world. This was my first visit to the Republic of China, Taiwan and it was most certainly full of revelations and genuine wonder.
I was invited to attend the 10-10 celebration in Taipei last month and, along with journalists from all over the world to cover the events leading up to and surrounding the National Holiday in Taiwan.

Colby Fire Starters Slapped with $9 Million Restitution Order

Three men convicted of setting the Colby Fire earlier this year have been ordered to pay $9 million in restitution. The three men, Clifford Eugene Henry Jr., Steven Robert Aguirre and Jonathan Carl Jarrell must pay $4.4 million to the United States Forest Service, $1.9 million to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, $1.1 million to the California FAIR Plan Association, as well as hundreds of thousands to the Glendora Police
Department, Azusa Police Department, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, and other government entities and private citizens. The court ordered that “restitution be paid first to the individual victims, second to the insurance companies and their insured’s, and as the last order of preference, to the government entities.” The 1,925-acre Colby fires on Jan. 16, destroyed five homes and 17 structures.

Dorothy's Place What's A Kid To Believe? By Dorothy Denne Does anyone out there know what happened to September, October and November? How did we get to December? Hard to believe, but here we are. Sets me to thinking and reminiscing. Back in the long ago when I was growing up, kids remained innocent longer than they do today. Some would call it innocent. Some would call it ignorant. Some would call it stupid. I call it wonderful. I searched the midnight sky looking for Santa Claus beyond the age that many modern kids are searching the Internet for action or porn movies. I learned very early about Baby Jesus and about Santa Claus. God had Baby Jesus born on Christmas Day to teach us to be good little girls and boys. Then his spirit (the Holy Ghost) was around us all the time to help us. Once a year, at Christmas time, God sent Santa down from the North Pole to see if we were listening carefully to

pet the reindeer before you got your candy cane. They liked them too. Today, Santas arrive in fire trucks, helicopters and limousines. Kids can have breakfast with him at dozens of places, all at the same time. He sits in dozens of air-controlled malls and stores, all at the same time. He stands ringing a bell on dozens of street corners, all at the same time. He shows up at dozens of Christmas parties, all at the same time. One minute he is fat and jolly. The next he is skinny and scrawny and his beard has turned to cotton. What's a kid to believe? Who's the real one? How long can kids hang on to innocence? Once they've learned to count, they've lost it. Baby Jesus is politically incorrect and Santa is a fake. Me? I still believe in Baby Jesus. As for Santa Claus, call me innocent, ignorant or stupid, but I still believe in him too. I'd like to believe the real one is spending December Saturdays sitting on the courthouse esplanade in Zanesville, Ohio. Save my candy cane, Santa. I'm trying to listen.

what God and Baby Jesus were telling us. Simple? Yeah, but it worked. It made a good little girl out of me - most of the time. Especially in December. We lived on a farm in my early years. We had no TV or Internet. In fact, we had no electricity. Our radio was powered by a big battery about the size of an automobile battery. I listened for reports from the North Pole. I didn't realize how far away the kids who lived on the other side of the world really were. Southern Ohio was my whole world. It was perfectly possible to believe Santa could make the entire trip in a few hours. There was only one Santa Claus. He came to Zanesville on Saturdays in December and sat by the big Christmas tree on the courthouse esplanade. He must have come really early in the morning because he always arrived before the kids who came from all over to talk with him. We bundled up in boots, snow pants, heavy jackets, mufflers and mittens and stood in line in the snow. It was worth it. Santa gave us a candy cane. It was smart to

board of director’s discretion. As common stockholders are usually given voting rights, they have some small indirect sway on the company’s decision. Preferred stockholders generally don’t have voting rights. But if the company goes belly-up, they’ll get their share of any remaining assets ahead of common stockholders. This is a good time to be ‘preferred.’ Oftentimes, larger dividend payments come at the expense of greater stock price appreciation. This is because the company is distributing its profits to shareholders rather than reinvesting these profits back into the company – spurring growth. However, many investors choose preferred stock because it may pay large dividends that provide a steady stream of income. Common stockholders are more willing to ac-
cept risk and most likely look to make long-term capital gains. Preferred stock owners generally care more about preserving their initial investment. Instead, they seek to earn an income from greater and more regular dividend payments. The decision to own either common or preferred stock depends largely on one’s investment strategy, financial goals and interest in exercising voting rights in the company. Securities aim to provide stable dividend. Payments are dependent on several factors as market conditions& aren’t guaranteed. They may be discontinued or modified at any time.

public perception. For example, if a company gets good press, demand for its common stock typically increases. As more investors jump on the bandwagon, the share price goes up. A publicrelations disaster may not affect a company’s actual value or earnings potential, but may significantly lower the share price if investors no longer want to maintain their financial association. The price of preferred stock is more reflective of a company’s value and is typically more stable. Hence, there’s less potential to make large gains. Shareholders instead earn larger, more regular dividends and receive their payouts before common stockholders do. This profit sharing practice is the second major difference. Common stock owners receive smaller dividends and these payments are given at the

is most widely owned. Preferred stock is a bit of a misnomer because it’s not as in demand. All stockholders are partial owners of a company (voila, you’re now a small business owner) and can make money in two ways: capital appreciation and dividend income. The most prominent difference between these two classes is that the value of common stock is far more volatile than with preferred stock. There is a greater potential for gain with common stocks; but also a greater chance for loss. However, profits aren’t made or lost until the shares are sold. The price of common stock doesn’t necessarily reflect the actual value of the company. That is: the assets of the company minus its liabilities divided by the shares outstanding. The price of common stock is greatly affected by

The spirit of innovative leadership and the power of individuality are two driving forces fueling the success of Blaze Pizza. In the short 2 ½ years since its founding, the Pasadena-based company has opened more than 40 restaurants throughout the country, and is on track to have over 100 locations by the end of 2015. My conversation with President/ COO Jim Mizes reveals how Blaze’s unconventional approach is proving to be a main ingredient in the trajectory of their success. Company Culture: Blaze encourages employees to be authentic by having a work environment where self-expression and innovative problem-solving are welcomed. “We don’t want people to feel squashed or inhibited.
We value what people have to offer and encourage them to challenge old ways of thinking,” says Mizes. “If we let employees be who they are, and if they have a passion for their work, then we end up creating change for the better – better food, better experiences and a better work environment.” In turn, guests enjoy a fun, casual and engaging atmosphere where they too can express themselves by creating their very own custom-built artisanal pizza. The Power of “And”: Mizes explains that the business world typically approaches work with the zero-sum tactic of “do this or do that” but that’s a limiting paradigm. He contends that embracing the concept of “and” is a more innovative approach. Indeed, the power

of “and” has proven to be yet another ingredient that continues to drive Blaze’s success. For example, rather than choosing quality or fast, Blaze welcomes both. Their unique ability to offer quality, freshly made artisanal pizzas in a speed-driven, fast-casual restaurant format exemplifies that “and” is a powerfully successful force. Individuality: Blaze showcases the power of individuality by encourag-
ing originality, creativity and out-of-the box thinking. Mizes explains that leveraging the unique perspectives and talents of their team members “creates positive change and if you can change one person’s life you can begin to change the world.” Blaze’s commitment to individuality and creativity while serving a great product is also another example of the power of “and.” Leadership: “I believe in the power of the team where collectively we leverage the strength of many individuals to push forward with new ideas, new approaches and new standards,” says Mizes. “My success depends upon others.” He goes on to say that one can lead from behind as well as from out front. Mizes
sees himself as a coach who conveys the company’s vision and goals, provides employees with the tools to be successful, and then “gets out of the way.” Great leaders, he says, create an environment that brings out the best in others while showing heart, intelligence, strength of conviction and humility. Blaze’s unconventional approach to business where innovative leadership and the power of individuality are encouraged seems to be the perfect recipe for success.

Dear Editor: I live in the neighborhood just north of Recreation Park. I’ve recently learned that a developer has plans to demolish a 1940 single-family home at 725 East Lemon Ave. and replace it with a 4-unit twostory PUD (Planned Unit Development) structure. If you are not familiar with our neighborhood, it consists almost exclusively of single-story, single-family homes. It’s neighborhoods like ours that make Monrovia quaint, classy and highly desirable to live in. This PUD structure and others like it threaten to take this away. Which brings me to my next point. Who benefits from this? Our neighborhood certainly doesn’t. This type of construction threatens to bring down property values, make parking more difficult,
cheapen the look of our street and produce fear that this will happen again next time a home in our neighborhood goes up for sale. Have we not already learned this lesson from the other PUD developments in our City? PUD should be an example of what not to do, not a precedent on how to proceed. Honestly, I’m shocked that the Design and Review Committee has recommended this for approval. With no disrespect, would the members of the DRC approve a PUD structure next to their homes? If we are honest with ourselves, we all know somewhere deep down that this development plan is bad for this neighborhood, bad for our City and just plain wrong. It really comes down to this: Do the members of the City Council and The Planning Commission value our wishes to keep our
neighborhood’s aesthetics quaint and charming or do they value this developer’s desire to make a buck? And here’s one more thing to consider. We as a neighborhood have put a lot of love, work, and money into our homes to make our collective blocks as beautiful as they can be. When you weigh all sides of this debate, this should count for a lot, because it certainly will count for a lot in this developer’s advertisements if he gets a chance to build his PUD development in our community. And does this not make this developer’s plans parasitic to our efforts of beautification? This is a healthy, vibrant neighborhood that doesn’t deserve to be tarnished this way. I sincerely hope the right thing is done here and this hit-and-run profit developer and others like

him are stopped from ruining this special neighborhood and others like it in our City. Sincerely, Very concerned citizen of Monrovia How Much Water Has To Be Wasted? How much water has to be wasted by the Sierra Madre water franchise before they will do something to replace the leaking water mains? In a City report dated September 25, 2012, it was stated that the overage use that was billed to the people was 2,800 acre feet. No estimate was given as to how much water was pumped. Two City Council Members asked the question several months ago. How much water was pumped and how much was billed to the people? The only answer re-
ceived as of now is that the City pumped 2,400 acre feet in 2012, which means that the people have reduced their use by 400 acre feet. In the recent mailing sent out by the City, it is stated that the people reduced the use of water by another 20% this year. If this is true, then the people have further reduced the water use by another 480 acre feet annually. This means that if the City uses approximately 200 acre feet through water leakage or use, then the amount billed to the people is less than 1,800 acre feet, or a reduction of approximately 1,000 acre feet less than the previous usage. There are several nagging questions that remain: 1) When will the City Manager tell us how many acre feet were billed in 2012? 2) When will they
admit to the amount of water that is lost by leaking water mains and when will they do something about it? 3) If the city's crews can lay 200 lineal feet of pipeline in two or three days, why can't they repair some leaky water mains at a rate of 200 lineal feet once or twice a month? The flip side of this focus on the people using less water is the City is reducing their water income by more than one million dollars. If they had that money then they would not need to enforce penalties, raise rates or look for money to fix the water mains. They would also have money to buy water from the other available sources. Any food for thought by the City of Sierra Madre Administration? Think about it!!! Sierra Madre Watchman

Monrovia City Clerk
Letters to the Editor
Open Letter to President and Board of Tournament of Roses Association: Our community of Pasadena has major concerns about the lack of diversity in the Tournament of Roses Association in regards to its staff. We have other concerns as well about the Tournament, but at this time we'd like to focus on the people who are a part of the office of your organization. For many years we have looked at the variety of employees of the Tournament of Roses and never seen an African-American male. Not one, two or three amongst them---absolutely none. However, over the past decade or so we have seen 2 black women, people of other racial and ethnic backgrounds, but that has been about the extent of your organization reflecting the broad range of the diverse residents throughout the community. Our concern is heightened by the fact that 75
percent of the football players in the NCAA are of African-American descent, so the contrast between that and the Tournament of Roses front office is noticeable. This is also apparent when the Tournament sends its representatives to the playing field of a football game, including the annual Rose Bowl, and in that group there is an absence of African American men or women from your organization. Moreover, when the Tournament has its representative’s travel to universities or colleges throughout the US, the lack of diversity among such people is again most noticeable. This gives the public the impression that the Tournament of Roses is a racially exclusive operation and uninterested in the social diversity of our modern society. We feel strongly that if the Pasadena community is going to practice diversity,
there is no better place for that to be evident than at the Tournament of Roses. Martin A. Gordon Chair Facilitator Pasadena Community Coalition Editor’s Note: In an attempt to offer a balanced approach to the subject (s) Mr. Gordon has addressed, we contacted the Tournament of Roses Public Relations Manager, Andrea Fox for comment to include in this week’s edition . We received an email stating they would essentially not comment to us but directly to the author of the open letter: “Just wanted to get back in touch with you after the holiday break. Regarding the letter from Martin Gordon, the Tournament of Roses plans to respond directly to Mr. Gordon this week. Andrea Fox.” As of deadline, Mr. Gordon has not informed us of the Tournament’s position/comment on his letter. We hope to have some more details by next week.

the City Clerk, is holding a meeting for all potential candidates on December 9 at 6 at the Monrovia Community Center, 119 West Palm Avenue. “I began this candidate information meeting several years ago in an effort to raise awareness about what it means to be a candidate so that people weren’t blind-sided when they came to pull nomination papers,” said City Clerk Alice Atkins. “Hopefully this meeting demystifies the process a bit.”
Under clear blue skies, more than 850 volunteers of all ages – adorned with hair nets, aprons and plastic gloves – lovingly served turkey with stuffing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and pie to those less fortunate in Pasadena’s Central Park for Thanksgiving. Among those with ladle in hand included Pasadena's Mayor Bogaard, Gene Masuda, Eric McCormack (Will and Grace), and Mike White (Enlightenment). Union Station Homeless Services served more than 4,000 plates of food to homeless men, women, children, seniors, very lowincome families, and those with no place to go during the holidays. The beloved community tradition known as Dinner-in-the-Park began in 1972 when a group of
local volunteers organized a free holiday meal to feed homeless and poor people in the community. More than four decades later, Union Station Homeless Services continues to organize the annual meal as an expression of compassion and care for those who otherwise might not see such holiday fare. This year the traditional continued with the help of volunteers, and key community partners, including Goldstar, Home Street Bank, Tsutayo Ichioka & Satsuki Nakao Charitable Foundation, Super King, Unified Grovers, Longo Toyoto-ScionLexus, Sprouts Famers Market, Sempra Energy Foundation, Smart and Final, Centerplate, and the Pasadena Convention Center. “We are so grateful
to the caring volunteers who bring warmth and the true spirit of community to Central Park each year, said Marv Gross, CEO of Union Station Homeless Services. “Their efforts to help us feed thousands of people is truly inspirational!” Volunteer registration for Christmas Dinner in the Park opens on Dec 1 at 8a on the agencies website: www.unionsttionhs. org. A Wish List of much needed items can be found at http://unionstationhs. org/?p=3570.The community is invited to drop off these supplies (in the indicated sizes) at 412 S. Raymond.

Ferguson Protest Continued from page 1
Pasadena students take to the street in Old Pasadena last Wednesday
Whereas some protests in Ferguson escalated and shops were lit on fire, demonstrations in LA and its surrounding counties remained mostly peaceful; however, several freeways including the 5, 110 and 10 were blocked for hours. Sit-ins and rallies in Leimert Park, Beverly Hills, and other areas were reported, where people raised signs and their hands shouting “hands up, don’t shoot.” The Los Angeles Times quoted a statement
of Los Angeles County Sheriff-elect Jim McDonnell, in which he urges angry protestors to "respect the outcome and processes of our legal system." He adds: "The greatness of our nation comes from our ability to come together peacefully and lawfully, to speak up about what is on our minds, and to respect one another." According to the LA Times, Darrin Johnson of Redlands signed the petition “We Call on U.S. Attorney General Eric Hold-
-Photo by Ralph Walker
er to file federal criminal civil rights charges against Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson in the Slaying of Michael Brown” on Change.org. He told the paper: "I'm frustrated beyond belief. Signing this petition is at the moment the closest thing I have to taking action. I want to see people of color treated with the same dignity and humanity that whites are by those in power." Abc quoted Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer: "Here in Los Ange-
les, although we still have much to do, we've come far in building trust between those who enforce our laws and the communities they serve." Since the killing of their child, Michael Brown’s family have advocated body-worn cameras for officers, and started a campaign. In a statement, they wrote: “We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen. Join with us in our campaign to ensure that every police officer working the streets in this country wears a body camera.” In Riverside County, 165 body-worn cameras for sheriff’s deputies have already been approved since early November. People hope for a more comprehensive clarification of facts in police encounters and more safety for both officers and citizens. Riverside County and Anaheim have already adopted body-worn cameras, and Rep. Schiff is currently trying to get funds for Los Angeles County so they can purchase these cameras.
Man Sentenced to Seven Years in Prison for Military Reservist’s Death A man has been sentenced to seven years in state prison for last year’s fatal beating of a military reservist in Old Town Pasadena, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Fernando Sabino Ramirez, 26, of Rowland Heights was found guilty by a jury last month of one count each of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and involuntary manslaughter. Jurors also found true an allegation that the defendant personally inflicted a sufficient injury that left 25-year-old Joshua Martinez comatose due to a brain injury. The victim’s family as well as members from the United States Marine Corps spoke at yesterday’s sentencing. A restitution hearing will be scheduled at a later date. Evidence presented at trial demonstrated that Ramirez physically assaulted Martinez outside
a restaurant in Old Town Pasadena on Aug. 5, 2013, while two of his accomplices, Jonas Cardenas Ramos, 26, of San Gabriel and Angel Christopher Moroyoqui, 22, of El Monte aided in the assault. Following the altercation, the victim -- an active reservist in the Marine Corps -- was taken to a hospital where he died. Ramos and Moroyoqui pleaded no contest to one count each of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. Both men were sentenced to 180 days in county jail and placed on probation for three years. Two others, Jonathan Pierre Aquino, 26, of El Monte and Timothy Scott Coley, 24, of West Covina also pleaded no contest to the assault charge and were sentenced to three years of probation and 60 days of community service. The case was investigated by the Pasadena Police Department.

Holiday Traditions & Memories Are Funny Things: The Coldstream Guard and Puce Gravy
by susan motander We have just entered the “Holiday Season.� When I was a child it seemed to be the longest period of time. Now it seems to fly past. It is all in perspective. A good perspective is what we really need to enjoy this time of year. In years past I have gotten so involved in doing things “right� that I have forgotten to enjoy what is happening. I hope to avoid that pitfall this year. To that end I have spent a bit of time reviewing my favorite holiday memories. The holiday season used to begin with the preparation of the stuffing the night before Thanksgiving. My mother, sister and I would dice the onions and celery necessary to prepare the Mrs. Cubbinson’s Dressing (always the seasoned bread crumb variety, not that silly cornbread Johnny-come-lately version). This preparation was always done while watching the Santa Claus Lane Parade (what we now call the Hollywood Christmas Parade). Then it was held on the night before Thanksgiving (heaven only knows when they hold it now). The parade had all the Hollywood Stars welcoming in the season. In those days, I knew who all

the stars were. Now I need a guide to the stars whose images grace the covers of the tabloids. Thanksgiving Day itself had more traditions. Of course, it started with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, watched while we ate breakfast. There was a bit of a difference then: it did not seem to be a two-hour commercial for the new NBC shows. But I digress. While we were glued to the television watching the parade, Mother was in the kitchen preparing the side dishes. She had already gotten up at the crack of dawn to get the 20+ pound bird in the oven. My father really loved turkey and all the leftovers. By noon with the parade over, Mother would break out the celery stuffed with cheese and the black olives. My sister and I would put an olive on the tip of each finger and march them around the table. They were our own little Coldstream guardsmen with olive-skinned rather than tall bearskin caps. I have no idea why we did this year after year, even when our fingers outgrew the olives and split their sides (those of the olives, not our fingers). It was a part of the Thanksgiving tradition.
There are just some things that are done year after year without any more reason than “because�. And then there are the memorable exceptions, those years when something goes so delightfully wrong that the foible becomes a cherished memory dragged out year and after year for re-inspection. Such was the case of the year my father’s boss came to dinner. Mother was determined to make everything perfect. So, of course, the gravy was much too light in color and (horrors) we were out of Gravy Master, that delightful darkening agent. So Mother relied on the tools she had acquired as the parent of small children. When you mix red and green finger paint, you get a brown color. It does not work the same way with food coloring. We had puce gravy. Puce is a shade of purple used most commonly as a dress color for Edwardian widows just out of mourning and not at all complementary to turkey. But it tasted good. And we bring out the story very year. And there was year my father fell asleep on the couch after the big meal. We usually held it in mid-afternoon. My father’s mother was visiting and took umbrage at this.

She was busy sewing at the time as so stuck a needle in Papa’s foot. My sister and I learned a few new words that afternoon. And another unforgettable memory was created. My parents were not the only ones capable of creating lasting memories. I am sure our children will remember the first time I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for all of us. I had inherited the cabin in which my husband and I live from my maternal grandmother. My family had already created many Thanksgiving memories here when she held the main event (that was before the year of too many martinis and the underdone turkey, but I digress).
My husband and I had not lived here long and I had never before invited my in-laws to dinner. I should have learned from my mother’s quest for perfection. I will admit I made certain to have Gravy Master on hand, but that was not my dilemma. After preparing all the side dishes in advance, one child called the night before Thanksgiving to announce her fiancÊ was a vegan. There was butter in all the sides. A no-no for true vegan. At first I was horrified, but then decided to roll with it. I was rather pleased with my solution; a fruit platter from Pavilion. I thought I had avoided the inevitable first meal with the in-laws disaster. I should not have felt
so smug. Rather, in the middle of the meal, my father-inlaw calmly turned to me and whispered, “I believe the credenza is on fire.� It turns out the wick from one of the candles on the sideboard had dropped off the candle and caught the varnish on the wood on fire. I barely stopped one son from throwing his wine on the fire, but we were able to extinguish the small flame nevertheless. My in-laws have never come to another meal here. Perhaps it is because we live the Wildland Urban Interface’s high fire hazard area. Perhaps I should have served black olives and puce gravy. At least I would have had a better time.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden meet with elected officials, community and faith leaders, and law enforcement officials to discuss how communities and law enforcement can work together to build trust to strengthen neighborhoods across the country. -(Official White House Photo by Lawrence Jackson).
The President has proposed a three-year, $263 million investment package that will: •Increase police officers’ use of body worn cameras. •Expand training for law enforcement agencies (LEAs). •Add more resources for police department reform. •Multiply the number of cities where the Department of Justice facilitates community and local LEA engagement. Part of the proposal is a new Body Worn Camera Partnership Program, which would provide a 50 percent match to states and localities that purchase body worn cameras and requisite storage. In fact, the proposed $75 million, three-year investment could help purchase 50,000 body worn cameras. As noted in a recent report released by Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), evidence shows that body worn cameras help strengthen
accountability and transparency, and that officers and civilians both act in a more positive manner when they're aware that a camera is present. The President is planning to create a Task Force on 21st Century Policing, chaired by Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey, who also serves as President of the Major Cities Chiefs Police Association; and Laurie Robinson, professor at George Mason University and former Assistant Attorney General for DOJ’s Office of Justice ProgramsIn August, the President ordered a review of federal funding and programs that help equip state and local law enforcement agencies (LEAs). Over the course of the review, the White House explored whether existing federal programs: •Provide LEAs with equipment that is appropriate for what their communities need. •Ensure that LEAs have adequate policies in place for use of the equipment, and that their personnel are trained and
certified on how to use this equipment. •Encourage LEAs to employ practices and standards that prevent misuse or abuse of this equipment. The final report, released today, finds inconsistencies in how these federal programs are structured, implemented, and audited. The report also identifies four areas of further focus that could help ensure that these programs help maximize the safety and security of both police officers and their communities: 1. Local community engagement. 2. Federal coordination and oversight. 3. Training requirements. 4. The community-policing model. In light of this review, President Obama is planning to issue an Executive Order directing relevant agencies to work together and with law enforcement and civil rights and civil liberties organizations to develop specific recommendations within four months.

Republic of China - Taiwan Continued from page 1
in Taiwan, you’ll see portraits of Chiang Kai-shek and a rather ornate memorial adorns central Taipei – an extraordinary and opulent monument to a long-time leader of China. But echoes of the past are slowly being questioned on the island. Taiwan’s ruling Nationalist Party lost ground in midterm local elections last Saturday which is significant. This election is a show of agitation that led to the Cabinet head’s resignation and could seriously affect the party’s 2016 presidential bid. The dwindling support of President Ma Ying-jeou's Nationalists concerns mainland China which claims sovereignty over self-ruled Taiwan. Under Ma’s leadership since 2008, Beijing and Taipei have, for the most part, agreed to differ and to work out agreements on expanding trade, transit and investments. China sees the agreements as steps toward unification, while Ma Yingjeou's looks upon [the agreements] as chances to stabilize relations with Beijing and improve Taiwan’s economy. The opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DDP), which picked up six major mayoral and county magistrate seats last Saturday, takes a more vigilant view toward deals with China and prefers more detachment from the mainland, China has claimed sovereignty over the island since the Chinese civil war of the 1940s, when the Nationalists under Chiang Kai-shek lost and set up a rival government in Taipei. Taiwan became democratic in the 1980s and elected its first opposition president in 2000. In last Saturday’s election, the Nationalists won only six of 22 top mayoral and county magistrate posts, with the Democratic Progressive Party taking 13 and independents three. Among the positions the Nationalists lost was the mayor’s job in Taipei, won by independent Ko Wenje, and the leadership post in Taichung, a central city of 2.8 million, which it had held for 12 years. 40 years after Chiang Kai-shek's death, statues of the autocratic leader are ever present school campuses across the island he long ruled.
In recent weeks students have displayed hostility from seven Taiwanese high schools united to mark the 1987 anniversary of the end of martial law first imposed by Chiang. The young protesters demanded that effigies of the three-decade ruler be removed. According to a recent story in the Los Angeles Times "Just because students are used to seeing his statues doesn't mean they think the statues are right," said Tung Lee-wei, 16, a first-year student at Cheng Kung Senior High School in Taipei who helped organize the campaign. Attention to the 6 1/2-foot-tall statues, as well as to roads and landmarks bearing Chiang's name, has grown since hundreds of protesters led by university students occupied parliament in March and April. That protest, known as the Sunflower Movement opposes ‘fast-track’ legislative approval of a trade pact with China. The Sunflower Movement grew exponentially. "The Sunflower Movement is an awakening movement among the young in Taiwan," Joseph Wu, secretary general of Taiwan's chief opposition group, the Democratic Progressive Party was quotes in Los Angeles Times. "The newest move by the high school students represents an awakening to question the existence of Chiang's statues when Taiwan is supposed to be democratized." Chiang Kai-shek was a Chinese political and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China between 1928 and 1975.. Chiang was an influential member of the Kuomintang (KMT), the Chinese Nationalist Party, and was a close ally of Sun Yat-sen. In 1926, Chiang led the Northern Expedition to unify the country, becoming China's nominal leader. He served as Chairman of the National Military Council of the Nationalist government of the Republic of China (ROC) from 1928 to 1948. Chiang led China in the Second Sino-Japanese War (the Chinese theater of World War II), consolidating power from the party's former regional warlords. Unlike Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kaishek was socially conservative, promoting traditional
lead the country. His son, Chiang Ching-kuo, who was appointed premier in May, assumed most of Chiang Kai-shek's duties. For the last three years of his life, Chiang Kai-shek was the ceremonial leader of the Republic of China, but his son was the practical leader. Chiang Kai-shek suffered a fatal heart attack and died on April 5, 1975.

Chinese culture in the New Life Movement and rejecting western democracy and the nationalist democratic socialism that Sun embraced in favor of an authoritarian government. Chiang's predecessor, Sun Yat-sen, was wellliked and respected by the Communists, but after Sun's death Chiang was not able to maintain good relations with the Chinese Communist Party(CCP). A major split between the Nationalists and Communists occurred in 1927; and, under Chiang's leadership, the Nationalists fought a nation-wide civil war against the Communists. After Japan invaded China in 1937, Chiang agreed to a temporary truce with the CCP. Despite some early cooperative military successes against Japan, by the time that the Japanese surrendered in 1945 neither the CCP nor the KMT trusted each other nor were actively cooperating. Many of the goals that eluded Chiang on the vast mainland came within reach on the island of Taiwan .There he gained unchallenged and virtually unlimited power. The National Assembly, under emergency law, reelected him to the presidency. His elder son, Chiang Chingkuo, was his successor. Dissenters were jailed under martial law. The rugged central mountain range was free of rebel bands, and alliance with the United States protected the island from invasion. After 1954 the island enjoyed a spectacular economic boom, making its standard of living second only to Japan's among the nations of Asia.
The year 1972 proved to be pivotal for Chiang Kai shek and Taiwan because United States’ President Richard Nixon visited the People's Republic of China. President Nixon also agreed that Taiwan was a part of China. These diplomatic setbacks, mixed with a long bout of pneumonia, had many questioning Chiang Kai-shek's ability to
Chiang Ching-kuo, Chiang Kai-shek's son and successor as the president, began to liberalize the political system in the mid1980s. Democratic reforms continued in the 1990s, with Lee Teng-hui reelected in 1996, in the first direct presidential election in the history of the ROC. During the later years of Lee's administration, he was involved in corruption controversies relating to government release of land and weapons purchase, although no legal proceedings commenced. In 2000, Chen Shui-bian of the Democratic Progressive Party was elected as the first
non-Kuomintang (KMT) President and was re-elected to serve his second and last term since 2004. Polarized politics has emerged in Taiwan with the formation of the Pan-Blue Coalition of parties led by the KMT, favoring eventual Chinese reunification, and the PanGreen Coalition of parties led by the DPP, favoring an eventual and official declaration of Taiwanese independence. On 30 September 2007, the ruling DPP approved a resolution asserting a separate identity from China and called for the enactment of a new constitution for a "normal country". It also called for general use of "Taiwan" as the country's name, without abolishing its formal name, the Republic of China. The KMT increased its majority in the Legislative Yuan in the January 2008 legislative elections, while its nominee Ma Yingjeou went on to win the presidency in March of the Please see page 10

Pixie Boyden Candidate for Pasadena City Council District 1
Pixie Boyden, a seasoned community activist/ organizer who brings more than 12 years of dedicated service to Northwest Pasadena has thrown her hat into the ring for a city council seat in District 1. Creating “meaningful partnerships to create effective plans/projects that increase investment of community members” is just one of her goals. “I believe that sustainable solutions tend to be those most closely aligned in grassroots processes where collective effort steers the innovation process to solve problems. With a plan to work ‘out of the box’ to engage our community to address the challenges of underemployment and unemployment, neighborhood sustainability, affordable housing, and safety, I intend to start to minimize the impacts to our community. I have served on many City of Pasadena and Pasadena Unified School District
Taskforces, Commissions, and Committees since 2002 that have direct positive impact to our community.” In addition to her political service commitment to Pasadena, my non-profit board service covers a wide range of impact interest that will be an asset for our District, her experience with and knowledge of city operations coupled with a strong understanding of community needs..” will allow me to bring the right resources to the table to make the change that is needed. I have built positive working relationships with both City departments and community activists over the last 12 years that will infuse hope, integrity, and creativity for District #1.” Ms. Boyden is currently employed by USC Rossier School of Education and a Northwest Commission member in 2002 and is also a member of the Rose Bowl Operating Committee. Key District Issues include: 1. Reducing affordable housing options. 2. Young adults with limited access to resources (i.e. Education, Vocational Options, Social Engagement). 3. Increase in community violence. District #1 Strategy: Affordable Housing • Identify opportunities to preserve and enhance our affordable hous-
ing stock that is at risk of being lost in the district. • Increase affordable housing options for those most impacted. Resource Access • Create a community campaign to provide access to resident to available resources needed to improve their quality of life and promote self-sufficiency. • Incorporate leadership building initiatives to create self-sustaining civic engagement in our community. • Enhance successful job training programs to increase vocational options for residents. Community Violence • Identify ways to reduce community violence through expansion of effective intervention programs. • Enhance and expand succeeding programs that build and support young adults in the community. •Collaborate with community resources to create effective ways to address societal impacts to the young people in our community. • Develop positive alternative social gathering places in the community that support prevention and intervention work for the community. Editor’s Note: We will be focusing our attention on Pasadena and other area elections in upcoming issues.

Over 300 members of some 59 Pasadena Unified School District families who are transitioning from homelessness to self-sufficiency received a free Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings from the popular Pasadena Sandwich Company on Thanksgiving Day.

local news Life Remembered Legendary puppeteer Bob Baker, 90
At The Kensington, we’ll remember what your loved ones are beginning to forget Introducing two unique levels of memory care
I
f your Mom was an amazing baker who loved yellow lilies or if your Dad was a decorated colonel who started every day with strong, black coffee, we’ll be sure to know. We will acquaint ourselves with the meaningful details of your loved ones’ lives. Then, when memory fades, we will help them revisit the pleasure of past times, even if only moments. We will care for them—and you— as progressive memory loss occurs. The Kensington’s memory care programs are highly personalized. Two distinctive “neighborhoods”—Connections and Haven— feature support that accommodates residents with different degrees of memory loss. Connections residents are in the early to middle stages of dementia. They can independently engage in activities that give purpose to each day. Haven residents are in the middle to late stages of dementia. They need a higher level of clinical assistance and soothing care that increases comfort and reduces agitation. Connections and Haven neighborhoods are cozy, intimate environments. Here, loving professionals honor the past but “meet residents where they are” now. By making the most of their strengths, they make today as joyful as possible. Call us to schedule a visit or to learn more about expert memory care coming to Sierra Madre this fall
Bob Baker, along with his partner Alton Wood, founded the Bob Baker Marionette Theater in 1963, which has gone on to become the oldest and longest-running children’s theater company in Los Angeles and in the world. In June 2009, the theater was designated as a Los Angeles Historical –Cultural Monument. A graduate of Hollywood High School, Bob enlisted in the Army Air Corps at the beginning of WW2. He served in the camouflage unit in Southern California and worked on the camouflage of Lockheed Aircraft in Burbank. An early medical discharge due to a virus from chicken feathers propelled him into his early career in animation at the George Pal Studios. He began as
an apprentice and became a top animator of "Puppetoons" a year later.
Leaving Pal during labor union disputes that made his job untenable (he sided with Pal), Baker began manufacturing toy marionettes that sold both in Europe and the United States. Fifty of the finest department stores in the country carried his line including Bullocks Wilshire, Saks Fifth Avenue, Niemen Marcus, FAO Schwarz,
and Marshall Fields. Baker manufactured the toy marionettes that he remembered as a child, and created window displays for the major stores in Los Angeles as well. The performance of his circus windows in the Millirons Department store downtown brought so many people, the store had to build risers to accommodate them. Baker went on to create the now famous window displays on Main Street at Disneyland. Baker is survived by friends and loved ones, his devoted employees over the years, and his hand crafted marionettes.

Trainer on the Run: Exercising Through Injury
By Lynda Linforth There are few things more frustrating than being mentally and physically committed to a new exercise program, only to be thwarted by injury or physical discomfort. As the New Year approaches and fitness enthusiasm is high I am more than prepared for the exuberant number of minor but hobbling injuries that clients will bring me by the end of January. The main injuries our clients come to work through are plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, knee, shoulder and lower back pain. This article will address plantar fasciitis and Achil-
les tendonitis. Plantar fasciitis is the painful inflammation of the fascia (fibrous connective tissue) around the plantar (sole of the foot but in this case, the heel). Many cases of heel pain are caused by inflammation which has been aggravated by a change in gait caused by the pain, inappropriate shoes, weight gain or increased impact activity. Most common symptoms are the intense pain felt when first stepping out of bed, heel tenderness when walking or exercising and knots or cramps in the arch of the foot. Plantar fasciitis should be diagnosed by a medical professional before attempting treatment as similar symptoms occur for heel spurs and other pedalian complaints. The most common causes of heel pain stem from steady weight gain followed by periods of inactivity followed by increased activity. This causes an unnatural load on the most sensitive part of the foot. However,
athletes are not exempt. There are a high percentage of active people who suffer from repetitive injuries (tendonitis, bruising and plantar fasciitis) and especially those who partake in high impact activities such as running, sports and aerobics. Achilles tendonitis can occur with or without plantar fasciitis but as they are in the same proximity (the Achilles tendon inserts in the calcaneus or heel bone) they are often present simultaneously. Ignoring Achilles pain can lead to a rupture so take early precaution. Management: In regards to plantar fasciitis, talk to your doctor about wearing a splint or boottype support at night. This keeps your foot at a 90 degree angle during sleep to avoid that excruciating first step out of bed. Also ask about shoe inserts such as orthotics or heel cups for everyday use. Do not wear completely flat shoes as this will only aggravate the condition. Wear com-
fortable, slightly elevated shoes or tennis shoes. Absolutely NO flip-flops or any type of shoe that needs to be gripped by toes such as slides or mules. Do not partake in any impact activity and stretch calves and hamstrings daily or whenever they feel tight. Ice regularly as reducing the inflammation is critical to recovery. For Achilles pain, massage the calf muscles and minimize all activity which aggravates it (switching from running to cycling, for example). Ice regularly and seek medical help if pain does not subside.

Pair Charged with Attacking Actor on Thanksgiving Day Two men were charged today with attacking an actor on Thanksgiving Day in Hollywood, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Dusan Lilic (dob 3/1/88) and Nikola Ilic (dob 5/5/91) were charged in case BA431882. Lilic faces one count each of assault with a deadly weapon, driving under the influence causing injury, driving with a .08 blood alcohol content causing injury, battery with serious bodily injury and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. Ilic is charged with one count of battery with serious bodily injury and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. Both men are scheduled to be arraigned today in Department 30 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center. Prosecutors said Corey Sligh was walking to a store
on Nov. 27 with his girlfriend and a friend to deliver Thanksgiving dinner to another friend when they saw a car driving erratically in the parking lot. Sligh was concerned the defendants were going to hurt someone and he asked Lilic to stop and leave. Lilic opened the car door, striking Sligh, prosecutors said. Sligh was then hit by the car. The vehicle drove away, but Lilic and Ilic returned and began beating Sligh, who suffered a broken arm and other injuries, prosecutors added. If convicted as charged, Lilic faces up to seven years in state prison, while Ilic faces a maximum four year prison term. The case remains under investigation by Los Angeles Police Department’s West Traffic Division.

Assemblymember Chris Holden Steps into Majority Floor Leader Position Assembly Speaker Toni G. Atkins Tuesday recently announced the members of the Democratic Caucus leadership team for the 2015-16 Legislative Session. Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena) has
been appointed Majority Floor Leader. The Majority Floor Leader represents the Speaker on the Assembly Floor and expedites Floor proceedings. Holden previously served as Majority Whip under Speaker Emeritus
John A. Pérez, and as Assistant Majority Floor Leader under Speaker Atkins. Assembly Member Holden was first elected in 2012. “I am deeply honored Speaker Atkins appointed me Majority Leader of the
California State Assembly. I appreciate her trust in my abilities and desire to do good work for the people of this great state. Progress has been made in balancing our state's budget, protecting our state's business climate,
and investing in California's future through education; however, great challenges await us during the 2015-16 session as California faces underemployment, underperforming schools, and access to affordable
housing. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to improve wage growth, early childhood education, and ensuring that homeownership remains an attainable American Dream.”

buildings has helped to shape the character of the cities of Glendale and Pasadena. Council members also held a lively discussion about the merits and costs of preserving both Arcadia’s historical commercial buildings and homes designed by renowned architects. Following that discussion, the City Council announced in its formal meeting that it would hold a public hearing on December 16 of an appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision to uphold the Highland Homeowners’ Association’s (HOA) recent ruling. The HOA’s architectural review board denied an architect’s proposed plans for a two-story home in Arcadia at 211 Monte Place. Council members were divided over the issue of preservation versus development. “If there is a Paul Williams home or another by a famous architect like Frank Lloyd Wright, are we going to let it be torn down or are we going to have a discussion about it?” asked council member Thomas Beck. Gary Kovacic, Mayor ProTem, agreed with Mr. Beck. “We’re in the epicenter [of this property boom] and we’ve got people buying houses with no education about Arcadia’s history or concern about it,” he said. “People are making zillions of dollars selling homes. If we had a more reasoned, sophisticated approach, we could educate everybody.” He said there was no mechanism to have a sophisticated discussion about preserving Anoakia, a 50-room mansion built by Anita Baldwin, the daughter of Arcadia’s founder, “Lucky Baldwin,” that was located on the corner of Baldwin and Foothill a
decade ago. The Council voted against it. Today it is a gated community with luxury homes. Roger Chandler, another council member, said that the costs of preserving Anoakia outweighed its benefits, particularly since an earthquake had damaged the estate. “We didn’t have the funds. It’s quite a dilemma—this question of who pays for this [preservation of buildings],” he said.

In another action, the Arcadia Council approved spending $569,648 over five years as part of a water quality study of storm water and non-storm water runoff in the Rio Hondo/ San Gabriel River watersheds. This study is the latest round of action taken to comply with the federal Clean Water Act of 1972. Arcadia is sharing the $2.37 million cost of the study with Azusa, Bradbury, Duarte, Monrovia, Sierra Madre, LA County, and LA County Flood Control District. Upon completion, this three-year study will outline a plan for monitoring and meeting storm water and non-storm water runoff water quality standards. In a move that council members believed would strengthen the city’s identity, the Council also approved both applying lettering that would spell “Arcadia” and using the Rte. 66 logo on each side of the Gold Line bridge crossing above Huntington Drive at Second Avenue.

bara County.according to NWS. The NWS advised “Strong and moist southerly flow associated with a storm system. "Just off the coast will bring moderate to heavy rainfall to the area for most of Tuesday. rainfall of this intensity and duration has the potential to bring dangerous flash flooding with damaging mud and debris flows to the recent burn areas – according to the national weather service.” Residents near the recent burn areas (especially the Springs...Colby... Powerhouse and Williams burn areas) should be prepared for significant mud and debris flows. Additionally, residents in the Santa Monica mountains should be prepared for rock and debris flow on local roadways including the PCH. Area cities are re-
minding residents that it is a perfect time to further conserve water by turning off automatic sprinkler and irrigation systems. With the anticipated saturation of the soils from the storm, residents should consider leaving their automatic sprinkler and irrigation systems off for the next week. The Pasadena Fire Department has sand and sandbags available at two fire stations, and is issuing safety tips. Residents can pick up sand bags at Station 37, Halstead Station, at 3430 E. Foothill Blvd., 91107; and Station 38, Salvia Canyon Station, at 1150 Linda Vista, 91103. The Fire Department is issuing the following safety tips for heavy rains: • Clear debris and overgrowth from drainage channels and rain gutters before rains.
• Be very cautious if holiday lights are still up and being used. When saturated with water they can cause a short. Surge protectors are recommended. • Keep fuel in your car; power outages might shut down gas pumps. •Don’t use any food, even canned, that has come in contact with rainwater. • Stay away from storm drain channels and other bodies of water. • Keep your disaster kit updated with flashlight, extra batteries, portable battery-operated radio, first aid kit and manual, emergency food and water for your family and pets, non-electric can opener, essential medications, sturdy shoes and comfort items for children. • Allow extra time and caution for travel.

the Office of Independent Review Group (“OIR”) Report on the Pasadena Police Department’s shooting of the unarmed young African- American youth Kendrec McDade. After lengthy court proceedings before Judge Chalfant and his twice privately reviewing the City of Pasadena’s 14 pages of redactions to the OIR Report, Judge Chalfant ordered the City of Pasadena to release the Report on December 3 to the interveners in the PPOAinitiated lawsuit – i.e., McDade’s mother, Anya Slaughter, the LA Times, the Pasadena NAACP, the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, ACT, and Kris Ockershauser, convener of the Coalition for Increased Civilian Oversight of the Pasadena Police Department. The Court of Appeal stay now further delays the Report’s release while it decides what to do with the PPOA petition to stop release of any part of the
McDade Shooting -OIR Report still not made public
OIR Report. Elbie J. Hickambottom, General Counsel for the Pasadena NAACP and one of the attorneys for the Interveners, expressed dismay today that the PPOA has once again blocked public disclosure of even a heavily-redacted OIR Report: “The PPOA’s position is so extreme that it would essentially block any public scrutiny of police officer conduct. The PPOA’s intransigent protection of the few bad apples in the Police Department does a disservice to the great majority of Pasadena Police Officers who are conscientiously doing their jobs. Unfortunately, the City administration’s backtracked on its initial commitment to open government when it unconscionably induced the PPOA to file its premature lawsuit. The City Administration’s conduct is part and parcel of its hostility to effective civilian review of the Police Depart-

ment that has encouraged the PPOA to aggressively fight open government. We’re confident that the Court of Appeal, like Judge Chalfant, will ultimately reject the PPOA’s animosity to open government and its delaying tactics and instead let the public see at least most of the OIR Report.” Pasadena Police Department officer Matthew
Griffin and Jeffrey Newlen shot and killed Kendrec McDade in 2012 after a false report that two youths with guns had robbed a victim; the officers chased McDade for several blocks, before shooting him, claiming they believed that he had a gun. However, McDade was unarmed. According to Slaughter’s attorneys, the police officers appear
to have “violated a number of policies in gunning down McDade, including shooting at him while driving, shooting at him from the police car, failing to turn on any recording equipment, sirens, or lights, shooting into a dark background that could have contained unseen people, and failing to identify themselves as police officers.” Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez determined that the shooting was within policy. The City retained the OIR Group to review the police department’s handling of the shooting and its investigations; at the time the OIR Group was hired, Chief Sanchez indicated he wanted the OIR Report publicly released. Pasadena City Manager Michael Beck sparked a public outcry in July when he publicly stated that the City would release only the recommendations in the OIR Report to the City Council and to the public. (The City Council has never seen the report; only City Manager Beck and his office and Chief Sanchez and top police administrators have been privy to the drafts and the final report.) Numerous Pasadena community members urged the City Council to release the full OIR Report. Community members, community organizations, and newspapers then filed public
records act requests for the OIR Report. At the City’s urging, the PPOA filed suit in early September to prevent the City from releasing any part of the OIR Report; the City used the PPOA lawsuit to avoid responding to the public records act requests. McDade’s mother, Anya Slaughter, the Pasadena NAACP, ACT, the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, and ACLU Board member Kris Ockershauser intervened in the lawsuit, got the PPOA’s lawsuit dismissed as premature because the City had not indicated it was going to release the document; Judge Chalfant ordered the City to “stop playing games” and instead promptly indicate whether or not it would release the Report. The Los Angeles Times at the same time intervened to also seek release of the OIR Report. The City then submitted under seal a copy of the Report that redacted 14 pages of the 70-page report. On November 4, Judge Chalfant overruled most of the PPOA’s objections to release of the OIR Report, ordered the City to unredact two of its proposed redactions, and ordered the City to redact four short portions that it had not redacted. Those rulings resulted in the November 13 judgment ordering release of the redacted version of the OIR Report.

At shortly before 8:00 a.m., two people occupied Lincoln Boulevard near John Muir High School, to protest the non-indictment decision in Ferguson, Missouri. Traffic on Lincoln came to a stop as protestors placed signs in the roadway. PPD officers arrived and asked the protestors to move to the parkway. The protestors complied with the directions of the officers and traffic began to flow. However, a short time later, a male subject walked back into the street and placed the signs in the road a second time. PPD officers asked the person to move to the parkway; however, he refused to comply with the officer’s directions. After a period of time and the subject’s steadfast refusal to move to the parkway, he was issued a citation for interfering. John Muir High School was not in session. Lieutenant Vasken Gourdikian was the on-scene supervisor. November 25 At about 8:00 p.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to the area of Wyoming and Lincoln regarding a shooting. On arrival, officers located a Male Black victim suffering from an apparent gunshot wound (GSW) to the head and shoulder.

garding a theft report. Surveillance footage revealed a 53-year-old White female concealed numerous items of merchandise while in the fitting room and exited the store failing to make payment. She was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking. Around 11:15 a.m., an officer responded to the 600 block of Duarte Road regarding a vehicle burglary.

An investigation revealed an unknown Black male, approximately 25 to 35-years-old, roughly 5’10” tall slapped his female companion across the face
while in the hotel lobby. The female victim consensually left with the suspect in a silver vehicle. The officer was unable to locate either party or the vehicle. The investigation is ongoing. At approximately 11:24 p.m., an officer was flagged down by a 17-year-old White male victim who had just been robbed in the area Foothill Boulevard and Second Avenue. The suspect casually asked if he had a debit card on him, when the victim indicated he did, the suspect produced a small black folding knife and threatened to stab or cut the victim if he did not follow the suspect to an ATM. The victim complied and the suspect fled southbound on Second Avenue on a Razor scooter with $20.00 cash. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, approximately 25-years-old, 5’9” tall, 150 pounds, with short, dark buzz-cut hair and a goatee. He was seen wearing a grey and black hooded sweatshirt or windbreaker with vertical stripes.
Sierra Madre Council Rejects One Carter/ Stonehouse Design The Sierra Madre City Council unanimously rejected the One Carter/Stonegate design for the first house as being inconsistent with the stated purposes of our governing documents. By doing so, they have re-affirmed the principle that the city and community intend to control the type and quality of development in Sierra Madre. A subcommittee consisting of Council Members Delmar and Goss will work with City Staff to come up with changes to the design so that this first house will be compatible with the Stonegate Design Guidelines, Hillside Management Zone Ordinance and our General Plan. The City Council must be commended for an extraordinary effort in understanding the problems with the current design, recognizing the importance of our governing documents like the Hillside Management Zone ordinance and Gen-
eral Plan, listening to the residents and finally having the courage to withstand the pressure exerted by the applicant and their attorney. Finally, a big thanks to all of you who answered the call and sent emails to the City Council, showed up at the meeting and spoke passionately on behalf of our preservation efforts. There is truly no place like Sierra Madre. Its reassuring and inspiring to know that people care enough to want to preserve what we have here. The last speaker at the meeting was a 91-year old woman who had to be helped to the podium but once she got there she spoke powerfully and eloquently that we have to be "bold" and that we have to realize that we have something "special" here. We intend to follow her advice. - Steering Committee

Arcadia High’s Runner Makes Record Books
-Photo by Chuck Utash – via Twitter
Arcadia High School’s Phillip Rocha ran himself into the record books last Saturday at the CIF Cross Country State Championship Meet in Fresno. The junior broke the tape first in the Division One race with a time of 14:58, the fastest time of the year in California in Division One. Rocha becomes the third Arcadia High runner to win an individual state title for the prestigious program, joining Ammar Moussa and Sergio Gonzalez. He also earned a spot in Satur-
day’s Nike Cross Nationals in Portland, Oregon. “Phillip ran a very intelligent and controlled first mile (4:46) before breaking away from the lead pack and hunting down the top two runners during the second mile,” Arcadia High Cross Country Coach Michael Feraco-Eberle said. The Arcadia High School girls team also capped off a historic year over the weekend. It was the first time the Apache girls qualified for the state championship race.

susceptible to high myopia (near-sightedness), myopic retinal degeneration including retinal holes and retinal detachments and narrow angle glaucoma. “We specialize in understanding and treating both the common and the most complex and challenging eye diseases that other eye centers may not be able to manage,” said Varma. “Asian-Americans should pay special consideration to eye conditions such as myopia, narrow angle glaucoma, cataracts, dry eye, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. We want our community in Arcadia and the surrounding cities to know that we have the expertise in the early diagnosis and treatment of these conditions before they can become blinding.” Varma, who also is professor and chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, is a glaucoma specialist and has dedicated his career to studying the development of eye diseases in minority populations. He is the principal investigator for multiple National Institutes of Health-funded epidemiological studies, including the Chinese American Eye Study.

on December 15, 2014 at 7:00 PM, at Rosemead City Hall, 8838 Valley Boulevard, Rosemead: CASE NO.: GPA 12-02, ZC 12-02, TTM 72529, and DR 12-05, and Proposed Alley Vacation between Del Mar Avenue and Brighton Street – The City of Rosemead (hereafter referred to as “Lead Agency”) has completed an Initial Study (IS) of the proposed Garvey Del Mar Plaza Mixed Use Project to be located at 7801-7825 Garvey Avenue, 3012 Del Mar Avenue, and 3017 Brighton Street in the City of Rosemead, California. The mixed use development would be located on 1.14 acres. The project consists of the demolition of all existing structures to construct a five-story, mixed use development with 15,553 square feet of retail/restaurant space on the basement/ first and second floors and 60 residential units on the third through fifth floors, comprising 54,609 square feet, for a total built area of 70,162 square feet. Parking is proposed as a combination of surface and two stories of subterranean basement parking. The City is proposing to participate by vacating the existing public alley that bisects the site. Access to the proposed project will be provided via the rear of the structure with one entrance each on Del Mar Avenue and Brighton Street. The project also includes a density bonus application under Senate Bill (SB) 1818, which amended the state bonus law to allow density bonuses up to 35%. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the project was distributed for a 20-day public review and comment period from May 21, 2014 to June 9, 2014. However, due to the extent of the comments received from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) during the 20-day public review period, the public hearing was continued to a future Planning Commission date. The public hearing for this item was originally scheduled on June 16, 2014. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Initial Study has been undertaken to determine if the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Initial Study was prepared and completed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. On the basis of the Initial Study, the City of Rosemead has concluded that the project would have significant impact, unless mitigated, therefore a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared. The MND reflects the independent judgment of the City as a lead agency per CEQA Guidelines. The project site is not on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5. The proposed project is not considered a project of statewide, regional or area-wide significance and would not affect highways or other facilities under the jurisdiction of the State of California Department of Transportation. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65091, this public hearing notice has been published in at least one newspaper of general circulation within the local agency and has been mailed to all owners of real property as shown on the latest equalized assessment roll within 300 feet of the real property that is the subject of the hearing. Lastly, this notice is also posted in six (6) public locations, specifying the availability of the application, plus the date, time and location of the public hearing.

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.
