Congressman Schiff Announces Federal Funding for Earthquake Early Warning System BY TERRY MILLER
BY LYNNE CURRY In a unanimous vote, the Arcadia City Council backed irate homeowners and dealt a blow to builders in the city seeking to tear down existing houses and replace them with enormous mansions. At a public hearing in its moderately filled chamber, the City Council agreed with the Planning Commission’s decision to uphold the ruling of the Highlands Homeowners’ Association (HOA) and rejected the developer’s appeal.

Dorothy's Place Christmas Tears
BY DOROTHY DENNE
How to make good use of holiday togetherness when you’re caring for a senior loved one
C
elebrating the holidays together with family is one of the best rewards of the season. If you are caring for an older relative, however, the holidays can be worrisome. You might notice that your loved one seems lonely, feels isolated or is overwhelmed. Or maybe you identify safety issues that signal your loved one needs more assistance than you are able to provide. If so, then the holidays offer you and your family a special opportunity: to share in the discussion and decision-making about care alternatives for someone you all love.
We welcome you to visit throughout the holiday season to meet our team, tour our community and tell us how we can help you and a senior you love. Call 626-355-5700 to schedule.

we were eating "creamed kidney beans" because we were poor. I thought we were eating them because they were good. I receive a note from a schoolmate who bore a severely retarded child. Doctors told my friend her child must be institutionalized. My friend said she could not do it. Today the child is an adult, living on her own, working and contributing to society. Yet another friend, made later in life, who can only be described as a nut. When I planned to wash my windows she said, "Pull the d#*n drapes and let's go to the beach." I did. Our friendship has survived. We are many freeways apart but a visit two or three times a year

Yours together with ours, along with our unwavering commitment to continual excellence in senior service, make for joyous holidays and a bright future.

I love December. It is a teary time of year for me. They aren't real sad tears nor are they happy tears. They are just feeling tears. As I open Christmas cards and pictures fall out, I get surprises. Kids grow. Adults wrinkle and grey. I miss family and friends who are miles away. Memories flow. Most are pleasant. We tend to forget the sad and painful. When we do remember, even those soften as they are surrounded by love. I hear from the 85-year-old cousin who cares for his Alzheimer'sstricken spouse. I remember them as a life-loving couple. I sat at their dinner table and didn't know
BY SUSAN MOTANDER The NCAA National Championship game is being played tomorrow night at 4 p.m. No, I’m not kidding. And this one is without all that BSC and selection committee nonsense. I am talking about the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl, the NCAA Division III championship, which this year will again pit the Purple Raiders of Mt. Union against WisconsinWhitewater’s Warhawks. It should be a great game, if you get ESPNU and are home by 4 p.m. this Friday. Try to see it. It is worth the effort these kids put into the game. And it is for the love of the game and pride alone that they play football. Division III Schools are not allowed to give Football Scholarships, heck, some of the schools are so small, their stadiums don’t even have lights and so they must schedule only day games.

is special. Christmas cards show our love. A note comes from the daughter of another elementary-through-highschool friend. She wants to let me know I will not be hearing from my friend this year. She has succumbed to a long battle with ovarian cancer. Oh the fun we shared in our youth and the feelings our letters shared over the years. She went first but I will remember her until we once again join. Another cousin writes. The third grandchild has arrived. She has red hair and fat cheeks. My cousin is reminded of me. So, I shed my tears. They are tears of sadness. They are tears of joy. They are Christmas tears.
Amos Alonzo Stagg, the Bowl and the Man
on to NFL; they will most likely end up running businesses in the Midwest. If they are lucky, they will do so with a national championship ring on one finger. But that is also not the reason they play. Watch the game. Then you will understand. They bring a passion to football that is rare. And this match up is legendary. This is the ninth time these two teams will face each other for the national title. Wisconsin-Whitewater is the defending champion having beaten Mt. Union last year 52-14, but Mt. Union has 11 National titles and has been in the finals 18 times since the championship was created in 1973 (the Warhawks have only 9 appearances and 5 championships). Yes, these are the two teams that dominate the Division, but they are also very well coached teams and that means a good game.
And Amos Alonzo Stagg himself is worth a moment. He was an innovative football player and coach when the game was first being played at the college level. He played for Yale and coached at several colleges, most notably as the head coach at the University of Chicago and finally at Stockton College as its kicking coach, a position he held until the age of 96. This is the man who invented the lateral pass for heaven’s sake. He deserves to be remembered if for nothing else than that pass and continuing to work to age 96. So, break out the microwave popcorn and the Buffalo Wings. There is no reason to wait until January for a National Championship game. And it you are so inclined, raise a toast to Amos Alonzo Stagg, the winningest coach in college football; his secret: he just keep working.

Powerful Words Words are a powerful thing. Can you remember words from your childhood that affected you as a kid and maybe still do today? The words leaders use are powerful and impactful. A recent study at Stanford by Gregory Walton and Priyanka Carr show that motivation rises when the word “together” is used. “Together” conveys an emotional sense of partnership even when people are physically separated. Furthermore, the study reveals that the sense of togetherness generates motivation. It’s the mere idea of togetherness that seems to make the difference. Walton and Carr point out that many life activities, although done
alone, can still stir the sense of togetherness. For example, while researchers may work alone it’s their collective effort that results in an experiment. Likewise, marketing consultants may work in their specialty area (i.e., social media, printed collateral) but it’s their combined effort that creates the marketing campaign. Walton and Carr’s experiment reveal that the mere inference of working together increases motivation. In their study experiment participants were gathered together and were told that they would work on a complex puzzle. They were then separated into rooms. One set of participants was told that they’d work “together” and get a
tip from another participant. The other set of participants was simply told to work on their puzzle and nothing was mentioned about working together. They were told a tip would come from a researcher. The distinction was that one group was treated as though they were working together while the other group was not. What did this research show? The individuals who were treated as though they were working together persisted longer on the puzzle, reported greater interest in the task, became more engrossed in the activity and overall performed better. So simply feeling as though they were “together” caused an increase in motivation. The Stanford research

also indicates that “together” is particularly helpful when the task is challenging and complex. It’s the sense of being on a team together, with each person contributing their part, that stimulates motivation. As a leader your words can positively affect the motivation level of your staff. The simple use of the word “together” is a good place to start. Mix it up with other words like collaboration, alliance and partnership. By just paying attention to your language you have the ability to boost motivation. And when motivation is up it only makes sense that team cohesion is also fueled. A motivated and cohesive team is exactly what any leader wants. Not

City of El Monte and The California Investment Regional Center broke ground December 11 on the Hilton Garden Inn, a planned 133-room hotel with three restaurants, conference center and banquet facilities at 9920 Valley Blvd. El Monte Mayor Andre Quintero and the City Council were on hand as the first shovelful of dirt was dug. “This hotel represents more than 250 constructionrelated jobs and approximately 200 permanent jobs for city residents as well as
increased economic security for El Monte through sales, bed and property tax revenues,” he said. The $20 million, fourstory hotel will house one Chinese restaurant, one Western restaurant and one café and is expected to generate $500,000 in sales, property and bed tax revenues. It will also increase the number of hotel beds in the city to 628. The project is expected to open in September 2016. The hotel was designed by Simon Lee & Associates in a
Spanish contemporary style and will feature water efficient landscaping with Date Palms, Crape Myrtle and Strelitzia shrubs. “Boosting economic development opportunities remains a top priority for our City,” said El Monte City Manager Raul Godinez. “Not only will the Hilton Garden Inn be an economic driver for the surrounding area and the City, it will also create an architectural statement in an important gateway into the City of El Monte.”

Dear Editor: The only thing that imperils America's new health care program, the Affordable Care Act, now, are the Republicanleaning majority of Supreme Court Justices. Republican politicians have shot their wad and come up empty-handed. The ACA is here to stay just like Medicare and Social Security. With the latest signup numbers now out, it's time for the opponents of Obamacare to face facts; there won't be an Obamacare death spiral. The millions of people who are participating and benefitting from the ACA are thankful they now have health care coverage, Let's give credit where credit is due: Obamacare is good for the country; 82 percent of people signing up on the health exchanges qualify for a subsidy, and for them, premiums
are so affordable they are signing up for more generous coverage. A new Kaiser poll found that 56 percent of Americans want to keep the ACA, while just 31 percent want it repealed. People are finally coming to their senses and are not listening to and believing Republican lies in regards to the Affordable Care Act. Ron Lowe, Santa Monica Nov. 10, 2014 Dear Editor: I wish to publicly record my personal opinions about the recent, controversial, decision by our El Monte Union High School District Board of Education to accept Mr. Nick Salerno’s resignation as Superintendent by a vote of four to one. My vote was the only one against this decision by the Board. During Mr. Salerno’s
five-year tenure, he contributed greatly to our district, far more than did any of his predecessors. I firmly believe that the Board’s acceptance of Mr. Salerno’s resignation to be a hasty, unwise decision that MUST be reconsidered and overturned. Mr. Salerno should be invited to return and resume his duties as Superintendent of the El Monte Union High School District. He agreed to do contractually that until 2016. He was required to proffer his services until expiration of his contract in 2016. He should not be permitted to receive public funds for “not working.” No one should be allowed to do that! Our district will be outputting approximately $275,000 of taxpayer funds for his “not working.” Beyond that, our district will be expending public funds for the salary

and benefit package of an interim Superintendent. Additionally, we will be expending public funds for the cost of a "search firm" to find a new Superintendent. It is my estimate that our district will be expending needlessly nearly one-half million dollars of public funds. This cannot and should not be permitted. We will be paying two salaries (one for the worker, the other for the "non-worker.") Our Board’s acceptance of Mr. Salerno’s resignation sets a truly worrisome, dangerous precedent. What do we do if his successor also decides to resign early? Will we then proceed to “buy out his/her contract, too?” and, thereby, needlessly waste even more public funds—at a time when our district’s budget is so fragile, unsure, and unpredict-
able? This, with continuing declining enrollment, resulting in less and less funding for our district! How is it that our district can so readily spend public funds to fund anyone for not working? This is simply and clearly an abusive, unacceptable practice that must not be permitted. Mr. Salerno has been a very effective leader, who inherited major serious problems, many of which he was able to solve, despite serious opposition. He brought in very effective legal counsel and straightened out serious problems with a construction company that was under contract for a long time with the district. He set in place a very competent, experienced, talented administrative team in the district office and at each school site that has made major improvements throughout
the district. Under his leadership, there have been initiated a host of new, vibrant, successful programs, which most likely will be put on hold or simply cancelled outright if he is allowed to resign prematurely. Your don’t build a building and half-way through its construction, stop and/ or redesign it. It's tantamount to building half a bridge and letting it remain unconnected. He masterfully led the El Monte Union High School District through a long period of major financial crises and made significant, difficult decisions. He preserved our El Monte/Rosemead Adult School at a time when districts across our state, such as Alhambra USD abolished their Adult School, or gutted it, such as occurred in the Monrovia USD.

That's Too Much Fifty years ago, Sierra Madre was troubled with daily smog in the air and quite a few days of fog. The government took action and eliminated the back yard incinerator. This eliminated the smog and the fog to where the air is clear today. This did not stop the government regulation so they placed controls on the use of coal and oil drilling. This continued on to where certain people came up with the phrase called "global warming." This was followed by many hurricanes, tornadoes, and snow storms so they Please see page 6

changed the phase to "climate change" and blamed man for these natural events. These people have lost sight that we need an ozone layer in our atmosphere in order to protect the earth from the sun's heat. All of these restrictions on these use of our natural energy sources can only be said "that is too much!" In Sierra Madre, the City government has constantly increased their regulation of private property. They started by setting a forty percent (40%) limit on how much of a lot can have buildings on it. They started regulating the so-called "street trees," which are really owned and maintained by the property owner. Today they want to control every tree on private property and, of course, all these regulations include a monetary charge.
The City government has based their conclusion on a small group of people that are constantly complaining on any form of building that a private property owner wants to build on the property they purchased. These owners are entitled to the same property rights as those that are using government to deny these owners to be able to build their home on their property, just as those that are complaining. Would these people like the government to tell them that their home must be torn down and the land left vacant. They would be quick to say "That's too much!" The most recent case of this activity is the City Council's action that over ruled the approval of the Planning Commission after the job was given back to the Commission by the Council. The first question
is "Why do we have a Planning Commission," comprised of voluntary citizens if the Council is going to overrule the judgment of the Commission, "That's too much!" The Mayor led the parade by saying that this new home would be seen from Carter Avenue, and they discounted any form of landscaping that would soften the home from view. The simple answer to this objection is that anything on the hillside can be seen even if the home was a log cabin. Hasn't the government denied these owners their right to build on the lots that the City has a legal settlement to allow homes to be built? This fourteenyear obstacle course has gone on long enough "Love thy neighbor as thy self" is a good place to start and put an end to this activity because "That's too much!" Sierra Madre Watchman

Let us handle all Your publishing needs.
Rebel Elphaba embracing her wicked-ness by “Defying Gravity.”
-Photo by Joan Marcus
BY COURTNEY BLACKBURN There's not much to say about "Wicked" that hasn't already been said. You've heard of it. You know it's very "Popular!" with audiences young and old and that it's a multiaward-winning musical that tells the story of the Wicked Witch of the West, she of the green-skinned hue in 1940's MGM Classic "The Wizard of Oz;" who tormented poor little Dorothy for her ruby slippers. "Wicked" tells us all there's more to the story than that. And the Pantages Theatre of Hollywood is delivering this pulse-pounding and rebel-rousing show with impeccable talent; colorfully wild sets, lighting, and costumes; and power ballads that will knock your
socks off. The show introduces us to Elphaba, she-who-willone-day-cackle "And your little dog, too!" Elphaba is passionate, misunderstood, and green. But her fate changes when, at school in the Land of Oz, Elphaba meets and develops an instant mutual disdain for Glinda (before she was "the Good"). Glinda (Chandra Lee Schwartz) and Elphaba (regularly Emma Hunton; on opening night excellently performed by Emmy RaverLampman) eventually find common ground, and, later, true friendship. But their relationship is tested to the extreme as dark forces in Oz threaten to tear everything apart...and a familiar Wizard is right in the thick of it.
"Wicked" is playing now--right now--until March 15, 2015. There's plenty of time to see what all the critics, fans, and this review are raving about. You won't find a better musical for either the "newbie" or the seasoned theatre-goer. The regular performance schedule for "Wicked" is Tuesday through Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 2pm and 8pm, and Sunday at 1pm and 6:30pm. Holiday performance schedules vary; check the official www.HollywoodPantages. com or call 1-800-982-2787 for more details. The Pantages is located at 6233 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028. Public parking is available on surrounding streets.

Sleeping Beauty and Her Winter Knight at The Pasadena Playhouse A Fun and Engaging Spectacle for All Ages with Highly Talented Cast from Disney, American Idol, and So You Think You Can Dance BY JENNIFER SCHLUETER
If you want to know how adult jokes about Victoria’s Secret models, Tinder, Friday-afternoon405-traffic, Amazon Prime, waitresses/actresses, and Facebook can vamp up an antiquated Grimm fairytale, you should see Sleeping Beauty and Her Winter Knight (Sleeping Beauty hereafter) at The Pasadena Playhouse. If you want to take your kids, they surely will enjoy this modernized version just as much due to highly engaging audience participation. Sleeping Beauty stars Disney’s Olivia Holt as Aurora, the Princess of Pasadena, and Garrett Clayton as the Prince of Alhambra who fall in love while meeting in the woods. At the time of their encounter, they have no idea that Au-
rora’s father, Broadway’s Patrick Cassidy, has scheduled them to marry each other the next day. However, before the wedding can occur, the evil fairy, enacted by Lucy Lawless, also known as former warrior princess Xena, curses the whole kingdom and holds the prince captive. Aurora’s watchman Silly Billy (“Hart of Dixie”’s Ben Giroux) and devoted Nanny Tickle (Broadway's David Engel) set out for everyone’s rescue. The Panto, short for the British Pantomime, a musical comedy catering to families, of Sleeping Beauty was written by Kris Lythgoe. He is the son of director Bonnie Lythgoe, who also directed last year’s Panto at the Pasadena Playhouse’s

Aladdin and His Winter Wish in collaboration with choreographer Spencer Liff (Emmy nominee “So You
Think You Can Dance”) and musical director Michael Orland (“American Idol”), all of whom have re-
turned this year to produce another piece of family entertainment. The producers have cast gifted actors and dancers – kids and adults -- who not only know how to engage the (younger) audience, but also work around technical difficulties so that they almost go unnoticed; and even include unintended cell phone rings playfully into their routines. Besides the musically talented protagonists, Tamyra Gray as the good fairy stands out with her performances of Mariah Carey’s “Hero” and the show’s finale. If all of this wasn’t enough to spark your interest, maybe Pinkarellas in Tutus, a non-potty-trained
puppy on stage, and a live Maleficent will do. There are three different ways for Playhouse guests to enhance their Panto at The Playhouse experience: GOLDEN TICKETS are available as an add-on to any child’s ticket for an additional $50.00 each (limit of 10 Golden Tickets available per performance). A Golden Ticket provides the ticketholder (children only) with a special onstage sing-a-long experience during the production, a gift bag with special surprises, a SLEEPING BEAUTY collectible poster, and one free photo with Santa! On Saturday and Sunday mornings throughout the engagement of Sleeping Beauty and Her Winter Knight, Playhouse guests may enjoy a special Sleeping Beauty Character Breakfast before the show at redwhite +bluezz Jazz Club, located at 37 El Molino, next door to The Playhouse. The Character Breakfast features a mouthwatering breakfast buffet, and tableside visits from all your favorite fairy tale characters! Prices start at $48. For reservations call 626-356-7529. Before every performance, all Playhouse guests and their families are invited to enjoy a “Winter Wonderland” event in The

It was an exciting Saturday afternoon when the Pasadena Showcase House of the Arts (PSHA) held its 29th Annual Instrumental Competition on November 15 at the world-class performing arts school, The Colburn School, located in downtown Los Angeles. Eleven talented musicians, aged 19 to 24, competed for monetary prizes totaling $27,000 in the categories of woodwinds, brass, and strings. The competition, designed to encourage and reward students who display superior musical ability, is part of PSHA’s ongoing effort to support music education.

$580,000 in prizes. “We are honored to support and encourage these students’ musical endeavors,” said PSHA President Katherine Watkins. “Listening to these talented musicians play live is magic. You feel their passion and hard work through their performances,” added PSHA Instrumental Competition Chair Suzanne Hart. Nineteen-year-old clarinetist Cristina Mateo Saez won the Grand Prize for Exceptional Talent and Musicianship in the amount of $6,000. Saez, who began playing clarinet when she was five years old, moved to Los Angeles three months ago from Almeria, Spain and
is currently pursuing her Bachelor of Music at The Colburn School. “I knew from the first time I played that this is what I wanted to do forever,” said Saez. “I love classical music. I am always listening to classical music.” PSHA awarded ten other prizes. First Place winners Benjamin Lash (Strings) and Riria Niimura (Woodwinds), each received $4,000. Second Place prizes in the amount of $2,500 went to Annelle Gregory (Strings), Sergio Coelho (Woodwinds), and to Julian Zheng and Cameron Rahmani, who tied (Brass).

After their performance, the winners shared some comments that underscore the value of music and highlight the importance of music education. Niimura - “When I play, I feel like I drift to the era when it was composed.” Lash - “There is no limit what you can learn from music.” Coelho - “The clarinet fits me. It lets me show my creativity, my emotions.” Gregory - “I can express in music what I cannot express in words.” Kapoor - “I like to be in the moment. And, with music I can do that.” Twenty-seven students from Southern California entered the highlyesteemed competition. The eleven finalists competed in front of a seven-
person judging panel including five members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra: Elise Henry (Second Flute),

The Admirals Elite Baseball Club completed its inaugural season in winning style Sunday night, taking the consolation title of the AA State Fall Championships at chilly Big League Dreams in Riverside. The Admirals got off to another quick start with an eightrun first inning and then cruised to an 11-3 victory over the South Bay Curve, finishing third in a strong tournament field. The victory capped a marathon day for the Admirals, who played three games over more than 12 hours, and concluded a highly successful fall for a talented team comprised of several California District 17 little league all-stars playing on the same team for the first time.

Germaine Harvey added a two-run triple of his own to pace the Admiral offense as Arcadia American’s Michael Gruppie picked up another Sunday pitching victory by tossing two scoreless innings. The Admirals just missed getting into the championship final but were edged by the OC Kings, 3-1, earlier in a semifinal game where pitching and defense dominated.
Arcadia American’s Julian Eskridge threw three steller innings in relief, but the Admirals’ offense was kept in check but two strong Kings’ pitchers who combined for 11 strikeouts. The Admirals lost despite outhitting the Kings, six to five. In their tournament opener, the Admirals rallied from an early deficit and went out to defeat the Tustin Scorpions by a score of 11-3. Colin Noble of East Altadena and Eddie Jin of Arcadia American were sharp on the mound, combining on a six-hitter as the Admirals’ bats came alive late but in a big way. Eskridge knocked in three runs but it was Noble’s big two-run double that broke the game open as the Admirals advanced to the semifinals. East Altadena’s Jackson Stuart had a big day at the plate with two hits, three runs scored and two driven in.

Volunteers Needed for Duarte 2015 Homeless Count
The homeless population, although often silent and in the shadows, is part of the demographic makeup of Southern California. To accurately count this often-vulnerable group, the City of Duarte recently voted to participate in the 2015 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count sponsored by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). The actual count is scheduled for Tuesday, January 27, 2015 from 8pm until approximately 12am. The City also participated in the 2012 Homeless Count. Interested individuals, 18 years and older, are invited to volunteer and assist. The City will need approximately 2025 volunteers to successfully complete this task.
Volunteer counters will receive training and refreshments that evening and be deployed from the Duarte Community Center in groups to count blocks within a specified area. The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department will be assisting the City in this endeavor. Interested individuals are encouraged to sign up online via Eventbrite at http://bit. ly/1GaBn7L. LAHSA, the lead agency for the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (LACoC), coordinates a biennial count of homeless people. The organization strives to make a difference in the lives of homeless residents and the count allows them to assess how and where homeless people can be
best served. LAHSA has contracted with the San Gabriel Valley Consortium on Homelessness, a nonprofit agency, to provide participating cities with support. For additional information please contact Duarte City Hall at (626) 357-7931x267. About the City of Duarte: The City of Duarte was incorporated on August 22, 1957. With integrity and transparency, the City provides exemplary public services in a caring and fiscally responsible manner with a commitment to our community’s future.

Los Angeles Blaze Calls Building Codes into Question The fire that ruined buildings and snarled traffic in downtown Los Angeles last week may not have happened ten years ago. However, loosening of the building codes and the increasing importance on low-cost construction is putting Los Angeles and other areas at risk. “Taller and larger wood buildings are part of trend to relax fire protection provisions in building design and construction to reduce costs," says Stephen S. Szoke, PCA senior director of codes and standards. "It saves on initial costs by using cheaper building construction than traditional non-combustible materials such as concrete, masonry or steel and puts buildings under construction at a greater risk of fire." The model building code used as the basis for most city and state building codes is the International Code Council International Building Code (IBC). The 2012 edition of the IBC, limits
Save for education
the height of load-bearing combustible construction to four stories for residential construction. A building using load-bearing walls of combustible wood construction can have a total height of five stories if the building has sprinklers and at least the first floor is constructed of fire resistance rated noncombustible construction, such as concrete or masonry. But, a sprinkler requirement cannot protect the building and structures around if a fire breaks out during construction. Structures built with non-combustible materials prevent the spread of fire, even when a sprinkler system fails - as can happen in an earthquake or when a building is still under construction and the sprinkler system has not yet been installed. In 2007 when construction was at an all-time high, the most common form of five- and six-story residential construction used load-bearing concrete masonry walls with precast concrete floors.
“Common sense shows that buildings build of non-combustible materials are not at the same risk of fire damage,” says Szoke. “According to a recent National Fire Protection Association report, during a fiveyear span, departments responded to nearly 830 construction fires. Aftermath pictures routinely show that it is only the wood portion that burned away. Concrete staircases and elevator shafts are still intact. The Los Angeles fire only caused structural damage. If codes are not changed, the next one could cause loss of life.” About PCA: Based in Washington, D.C., with offices in Skokie, Illinois, the Portland Cement Association represents cement companies in the United States. It conducts market development, engineering, research, education, and public affairs programs. More information on PCA programs is available at www.cement.org.

"These federal dollars are sorely needed, but more funding is still necessary to complete the system. While the state and private sector must contribute their fair share, I will continue to work with West Coast senators and representatives to prioritize federal funds for this life-saving project. We must get it done before the next major earthquake strikes." "It's absolutely critical that the West Coast implement and build out an earthquake early warning system to give us a heads up before the 'big one' hits, so we can save lives and protect infrastructure," said Congressman Schiff.

Feinstein was critical in securing the language in the Senate -Appropriations bill. The text in the bill reads: "Funding for Natural Hazards programs includes $59,503,000 for earthquake hazards, of which $5,000,000 is provided to transition the earthquake early warning demonstration project into an operational capability on the West Coast. A critical component of the earthquake early warning system is maintaining the existing real-time broadband and strong motion seismic networks along with geodetic monitoring networks. As the earthquake early warning system is developed, USGS is directed to collaborate with universities, companies and other Federal agencies with expertise and existing digital seismic observing networks to continue precise observation of critical fault locations."

"We at Caltech applaud Congress for approving the impactful initial funding for an earthquake early warning system," said Thomas F. Rosenbaum, president of the California Institute of Technology. "This vital step toward implementation wouldn't be possible without the leadership of the California congressional delegation." Earlier this year, Schiff led a group of 25 Members from California, Washington and Oregon in organizing a request that the committee fund an early earthquake warning system.

Arcadia Council Continued from page 1
(ARB) had denied design plans for a new nearly 7,000 square-foot two-story singlefamily residence at 211 Monte Place, a cul-de-sac off of Canyon Road. ARB had turned down the builder’s plans on grounds that the proposed home was “incompatible in mass and scale to the surrounding buildings in the neighborhood.” According to Highlands HOA statistics, the majority of the homes in the Highlands area are less than 5,000 square feet. In front of a group of unhappy Highland homeowners and City Council members, Kurt Von Hatten, the project designer of KVH Design Group, argued that he and his staff had made significant adjustments to their plan to take into consideration resident concerns about the massive scale of the proposed home. Some of Mr. Von Hatten’s suggested modifications included increasing the home’s setback from the nearby hillside, moving the entire house further away from the curb than the existing house, placing the three-car garage as far back on the lot as possible, and putting the driveway on the side of the home. However, City Council members didn’t buy Mr.
Von Hatten’s arguments. They expressed concern that Mr. Von Hatten had not adequately consulted the neighbors about the house’s proposed square footage nor had the developer adhered to safety issues by proposing building within such close proximity of a hillside, given the possibility of the danger of mud slides. “It bothered me that the developer did not want to meet the neighbors, appease the neighbors, or compromise, because the neighbors will still be there when the developer sells the house,” said Tom Beck, Council member. “It makes no sense to build so close to a hillside . . .” Added John Wuo, Arcadia’s mayor, “I used to live on a hillside. Sometimes things happen you can’t anticipate. If this were 30,000 [square feet] and you build 7,000 square feet, that’s not unreasonable. But this is not flat—it’s a hillside. You need more of a setback.” The first Highlands resident to speak at the hearing, April Verlato, an attorney and member of the Highlands HOA ARB, discussed Resolution 6770, a contract between the city and HOAs that grants HOAs design
review authority. The scope includes the elements of size—mass, scale, height, length, and width. She raised the concept of size with the developer, but there is no maximum limit on square footage. Without knowing the actual square footage, which is used as a reference point, she said “we are unable to visualize how big in proportion to the other surrounding homes this one is going to be.” Ms. Verlato also said that the HOA had offered to meet with the developer to discuss design reviews, but he had refused to do so, saying there could be no changes. This issue has galvanized many other Highlands residents. “We got caught off-guard . . . but there is a movement within the Highland Oaks HOA and within neighborhoods by people who want to see more control of what is going on and what’s being put up in the neighborhood,” said David Arvizu, a Highlands HOA ARB member, urging people to come to the Highlands next annual HOA meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 17th, at Highland Oaks Elementary School to voice their opinions.
Domestic Violence Charges Filed Against TV Reporter Prosecutors have filed felony charges against a television reporter allegedly involved in two separate domestic altercations, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced December 11. Deputy District Attorney Lou Holtz said Carlos Zapata (DOB 7/23/63) of Sherman Oaks is facing two counts of injuring a spouse. Case LA079898, which was filed recently,
also alleges one of the felony counts resulted in great bodily injury. Arraignment is scheduled at 8:30 a.m. on Dec. 24 in Department 100 of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Van Nuys Branch. Zapata, a local reporter for MundoFox 22, threw a flower pot at his wife’s head causing serious injuries during an argument on Dec. 3, the prosecutor said. After the
defendant was arrested, the victim reported a Nov. 4 attack, which was the result of another argument, the prosecutor added. If convicted as charged, Zapata faces a possible maximum sentence of 10 years in state prison. The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department, Van Nuys Division.
Monrovia Moratoria Modified Continued from page 1
cil enacted a moratorium on demolition permits for houses built before 1940 and a second moratorium on building permits. Each was for only 45 days, long enough to allow city staff to develop a plan for revising the codes regarding building, especially homes. At the meeting on Tuesday, City Manager Oliver Chi
said that the plan for meetings would be announced in January. The moratoria were the result of public input regarding “mansionization” of the city, demolishing small homes and building “mansions” in their place. Throughout meetings of the Historic Preservation Commission
and the Council, numerous citizens spoke out against what they said they saw happening in other communities especially in Arcadia. In addition to extending the moratoria, the council also modified them to apply only to specific areas in the community and not the city as a whole.
not enough! “At the moment, we have taken on the lead to do quarantine and isolation immediately there is an outbreak. Three days ago, as we were waiting for the government to quarantine Kamarun village, we quickly distributed buckets and chlorine for hand washing to each household in suspected villages to prevent further outbreak. “So far, from the 27 infected, we have five infected people in the chiefdom who are undertaking treatment. Many have survived and few have passed away - 45 possible contacts that are not yet infected! [...] “We are sure of bringing this to an end in the chiefdom in the shortest possible time! Your help to provide food to isolate possible contacts and survivors will be appreciated! “Have a great weekend and keep us in your prayers!”
Hindo’s sister Sarah believes that what happens in Sierra Leone impacts us in the United States as well, and with little money and effort, WE can make a difference: “It’s important for us to support all parts of the world. We are all connected. It will impact us all if something happens somewhere else.” All of us can help to prevent Ebola from spreading even further and claiming more deaths by providing Hindo with more education and sensitization materials (for a detailed story on Hindo, see last week’s paper). Support Hindo’s mission, which is supported by Beacon Media, by visiting the following link: www.healwestafrica.com More information and updates with pictures from Hindo can also be found here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/GlobalEducation-and-Justice-Network.
Fearing for Family in Ebola Region Continued from page 1
had first heard about the disease from her adoptive parents in West Virginia, medical alerts, and the CDC website (http:// www.cdc.gov/). However, thanks to the early information, Sarah and her brother Hindo were able to quickly send out teams to educate villagers in the Bumpe district, where Hindo and the rest of Sarah’s family live. Because Ebola became so present in the country where Sarah is from, she feared for her family, and felt hopeless. She wanted to fly there and physically help, but realized it was best for her to stay safe, and mobilize as much money as she could to support Hindo and his teams in their sensitization efforts. Despite the alarmingly rising numbers of new infections, Sarah tries to stay positive. Oakwood School in North Hollywood, the
partner-school of Bumpe High School in Sierra Leone, held a bake sale and raised about $200 which Sarah forwarded to Hindo so he could print more posters and purchase buckets and hygiene products for hand-washing stations. Sarah is also in regular Skype contact with students in Bumpe who tell her that they want to go back to school, but can’t, because schools are closed. Bumpe district is now closed off to visitors and also prevents people from exiting in order to prevent Ebola infection. Hindo’s prevention methods have a huge impact on the region, because, until December, the Bumpe district has only had five Ebola cases since the outbreak, all of which came from outsiders, but were quickly contained. Compared to other areas, this is the lowest number of

However, as Beacon Media is in constant contact with Hindo, he told us that just a few days ago the number of infected people in the Bumpe district has risen to an alarming 27; partially because the government fails to trace people who have been in close contact with the ill. His most recent email reads: “Our people are always scared of strangers doing investigations about them, and thus, it is only we on the ground who can dig up facts and bring to
light suspected cases in our communities. People hide away from strangers coming to line list them –because of the thought that Ebola is a conspiracy. When we meet them, they tell us the truth and say ‘I was in contact with such person who has passed away as a result of the virus.’ The government most times takes a week to quarantine homes or villages where the outbreak has occurred. For this reason, containing the spread is another issue! I am sure resources are still

world teaching forgiveness and his Christian beliefs. The City of Torrance celebrates the 97 year long life of Torrance High School and USC track star, Olympian, World War II prisoner of war and inspirational speaker Louis Zamperini. Raised in Torrance, his heart never wandered far from the city and people he loved and supported throughout his life. As a sidebar, The Tournament of Roses honors the memory of Grand Marshal Louis Zamperini, with Mr. Zamperini’s children and their spouses who will ride a 1936 Packard Standard Eight. “This chic vehicle has a very interesting history, as less than ten of them were produced. This particular vehicle was exported to Russia in the 1930’s as a gift to Joseph Stalin,” according to the TOR. Stalin, of course, was one of the most powerful and murderous dictators in history; Stalin was the supreme ruler of the Soviet Union for a quarter of a century. His regime of terror caused the death and suffering of tens of millions, but he also oversaw the war machine that played a key role in the defeat of Nazism. One can only wonder what Louis Zamperini might have said about the choice of said car to transport his family in his memory on New Year’s Day. Knowing Zamperini’s history, he would have forgiven even Stalin for his atrocities.

Monrovia City Notices
The inspirational life story and recent passing of the City of Torrance’s hometown American hero, Louis Zamperini, is celebrated in this floral tribute to the 2015 Tournament of Roses Grand Marshal. Books and movies have been written about his remarkable life, his courage, resilience and ability to forgive his captors. Growing up poor in Torrance, he discovered running as a means to better himself and to help out his family. He set world interscholastic racing records while attending Torrance High School, helping him gain a scholarship at the University of Southern California where he held the national collegiate mile record which stood for 15 years. He was America’s best finisher in the 5000 meter race at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps and while on a rescue mission the B-24 Liberator plane he was flying in crashed into the Pacific Ocean where he drifted for 47 days in a life raft, only to be captured and brutally tortured by the Japanese for the next two years. At the end of the war he returned to Torrance as an American hero. In 1949 Louis attended a crusade led by evangelist Billy Graham and became a born-again Christian; forgiving his captors who so brutally tortured him as a prisoner of war. He became an inspirational speaker, established the Victory Boys Camp and traveled the

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF LAVONNA KAY SHAW Case No. BP158168
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of LAVONNA KAY SHAW A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Harry Tadao Matsumoto in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Harry Tadao Matsumoto be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on January 15, 2015 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 5 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction. com, using the file number assigned to this case 14-2464-11. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
