Courts Drop Charges Against SeaWorld Float Protester On Thursday, a Pasadena court dropped all charges against PETA supporter Amanda Slyter, who was arrested in January and charged with "interfering with a special event" for using her body to block the SeaWorld float at the Rose Parade. As you may recall, Slyter was prepared to use the rarely seen "necessity" (or "lesser of two evils" or "greater good") defense. Her counsel argued that the cruel capture Please see page 15

BY SUSIE LING The City of Monrovia celebrated former Mayor Robert T. Bartlett on December 19, 2014. City Council members – past and present – gathered with about 150 wellwishers for the unveiling of a street sign that reads “Honoring Mayor Bob
Bartlett” on Royal Oaks Drive and California Avenue. Bartlett served as the first African American mayor of Monrovia from 1976-78 and 1988-2001. He was the driving force behind the redevelopment of Huntington Drive in Monrovia into an active
78th Santa Anita Winter Meet Begins Friday, Dec. 26 With more than $30 million in purse money up for grabs, it’s no wonder a deep and competitive group of some of America’s top trainers have lined up to compete at Santa Anita’s upcoming Winter Meet, which begins Friday, Dec. 26, and will conclude April 19.
Led by perennial kingpins, Bob Baffert, Jerry Hollendorfer, John Sadler, Doug O’Neill, Peter Miller and Tom Proctor, fans can expect great racing and keen competition beginning opening day, which will be highlighted Please see page 8

Arcadia’s Golden Donut Palace Serves Up Sweet $24 Million Lottery Ticket A Super Lotto Plus ticket sold at an Arcadia donut shop was worth $24 million in Saturday’s drawing, California lottery officials said. The ticket matches the drawing numbers of 5, 7, 21, 31, 33 and Mega Number 12, according to results published on the Califor-
nia Lottery’s website. It was sold at the Golden Donut Palace, 104 E. Foothill Boulevard in Arcadia. Another ticket sold at the same store matched the five drawing numbers, but not the Mega Number. That ticket is worth $10,866.
Arcadia Firefighter/ Paramedic Beth Fournier is no stranger to seemingly unsurmountable difficulties. In fact, the entire fire department in Arcadia has seen more than its fair share of tragedy in the past year and yet they battle on as firefighters do, caring for their fellow man – especially in time of need. Firefighter/Paramedic Beth Fournier was recently collecting money for a friend in need in Rancho Cucamonga when this friend told her about the plight of an Arcadia single mom who has spent all her savings on brain surgery at UCLA, leaving little for her two boys this Christmas. Fournier stepped in and in a matter of weeks she and her fellow caring Arcadia firefighters were in on the plan to make Valerie Babinski’s Christmas a little brighter. On Thursday December 11, Arcadia Firefighters delivered a firehouse dinner and Christmas toys to a local single mom who is battling brain tumors Please see page 12

Dorothy's Place
BY DOROTHY DENNE (Think Jingle Bells) Dashing through the mall, It is panic time today. Ten more gifts to buy, Money's gone away. Problem solved, problem solved Credit line is good. Oh, what fun it is to shop, With a plastic card to pay! What was Christmas shopping like before we had credit cards? Remember layaway? Remember Christmas Savings Clubs at the banks? When I was fifteen, I sold shoes in Dan Cohen's Shoe Store on Monday evenings and Saturday for 50 cents an hour. When I could, I supplemented that with babysitting for 35 cents an hour. My father had died when I was ten so most of that money went to my mother to help meet living expenses. I bought Mom a chenille bathrobe for Christmas that year. Now, a chenille bathrobe was something really special. This one was red, which made it extra really special. Red was Mom's favorite color. I bought it as Habib's Department Store. I don't remember exactly when I
Christmas Before Plastic bought it but I know I put it in layaway many weeks before Christmas. I paid a little on it each week. I managed to get it out just two days before Christmas. Mr. Habib himself saw to it that they gift-wrapped it for me for free. The following Christmas was a little easier. I still used layaway but I had also joined a Christmas Savings Club at Mutual Bank. I had deposited 50 cents a week so when December came, I got a $25 Christmas check from the bank. That took the panic out of shopping. When I was 16, I got a job in the office of Kresge's 5&10 store. I was able to get early dismissal from school (1:30PM) so I worked every afternoon, Monday and Friday evenings, all day Saturday --all that at 65 cents an hour. Wow. I was able to join the $1 Christmas Club and get a $50 check. Now, these many years later, I can dash through the malls with credit card in hand and no panic. But you know, I don't think I have ever bought another gift that gave me as much joy as that red chenille bathrobe I laid away for Mom. Merry Christmas to all!

AAUW speaker at the January 12th meeting is Dale Carter.
How did a dilapidated, abandoned 19th century Santa Fe Depot find a home on the grounds of the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia? How was the old depot saved from demolition and moved from its former site as a pile of bricks and boards that became the lovely, cared-for vintage Depot that we see today? These are questions that Arboretum docent
Dale Carter of Arcadia is well qualified to answer. Dale is a retired mechanical engineer who has enjoyed trains from his childhood interest in Lionel trains to his present fascination with vintage steam engines. His love for the peaceful Arboretum and his interest in trains make a perfect fit. How the transformation of the old depot came about will be explained by Dale Carter when he speaks at the Monday evening, January 12, 2015 meeting of the Arcadia Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) on Monday, January 12. The group meets at the Church of the Good Shepherd’s Jordan Hall, 400 W. Duarte Road (SW corner of
Duarte Road and Holly Avenue), Arcadia. Socializing begins at 6:30 p.m. with Carter’s presentation to follow at 7:00 p.m. The public is invited to this free meeting. For information about membership in the American Association of University Women (AAUW),

“Wayke Up!” Call For Wildlife Waystation Animal Sanctuary as it Begins 60-Day Crowdfunding Campaign
Los Angeles’ Wildlife WayStation is launching a 60-day “Wayke Up!” crowdfunding web campaign. The WayStation founder-director, Martine Colette, calls this ”the start of a new chapter” in the history of the nationally regarded, non-profit sanctuary dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of wild and exotic wildlife situated in the Angeles National Forest. The WayStation is currently home to 450 animals, cared for by Colette, her staff, and her volunteers. The crowdfunding web campaign will be run via IndieGoGo, between Dec. 14, 2014 and Feb. 10, 2015. Missing these days at the WayStation are the visitors and groups of children visiting from the LA area School Districts as part of the WayStation’s

Lifeline For Pets Cat of the Week: "Kayley" Dear Kayley, age three, is one of our shy ones. She is a sweet, sensitive, beautiful calico, whom we have had for over a year now. Kayley was adopted once, as a kitten, and had a happy life at first, but then circumstances changed, and she reacted by becoming untrusting and depressed. She was finally surrendered to Lifeline For Pets. We have worked with her and Kayley has come a long way, often seeking attention and petting. However, she still has trust issues, and would greatly benefit from a real home, with a stable, quiet adult and/or gentle children. She can get along with other cats. Maybe someone special needs a special love in their lives, and Kayley to-
tally deserves this chance. See more of Kayley atwww.lifelineforpets.org, her video at https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=rD cSADXApkU&feature=y outu.be, and call 626-6769505. Kayley truly needs a Christmas miracle. When you adopt from Lifeline For Pets, you know you are getting a healthy, much loved kitty who will fit well into your family, and we know that cat will have a lifelong home. Lifeline For Pets is a no-kill rescue organization operated solely by caring volunteers.

New Year's Resolutions Every year people make New Year's resolutions and so we want to make a few for the City of Sierra Madre Government. To start with, please be completely truthful and tell the whole story instead of being “transparent� and providing partial information that is slanted to a point of view! Fill the existing vacancies of the Finance Director and Development Director with existing staff members and do not hire new people! This will start saving money due to reduced U.U.T. income. Complete the General Plan Update as soon as possible. The City has already spent too much time and money on this project. Close out the review process, and pass a motion of completion! Cancel the Building Moratorium now, since it only affects the 13 parcels of the Stonehouse Tract, which has not started anything of the building processes, then it is basically a legal exercise that costs the taxpayers money with little actual effect. Reduce the tiered water rate form of billing for water use, since the cost is the same across the board. Give the low income people a discount from the one water rate - stop saying that you are not imposing a penalty. Remove the long term debt from the calculations as well as the
trumped up cost on the imported water. Put in place some heavy controls on spending in all departments. Put someone in charge that must approve a purchase or expense before the bills are created. This might be the City Manager, the Finance Director or the City Treasurer. Reduce the number of credit cards that City employees might have now. Find lower cost alternatives to the spending habits. Replace paid paramedic personnel with volunteer personnel. Cancel the Environment Commission and do not start the Safety Committee. Consider the opposite points of view which the majority of people hold
instead of the views of the same people that speak over and over at the Council and Planning Commission meetings. Try to reduce the taxes and fees that the City has direct control over; The Cost of Living is out of sight now and income has not kept pace with all the rising costs. And, please maintain the water system, including tunnels, wells, settling basins and water mains there is so much repair that is needed, so give them constant repair. These suggestions only scratch the surface and maybe the readers can suggest many more! Happy New Year, Sierra Madre Watchman

City of Torrance Honors Louis Zamperini With Rose Float
Tournament of Roses Honors Zamperini in Car That Belonged to Joseph Stalin The inspirational life story and recent passing of the City of Torrance’s hometown American hero, Louis Zamperini, is celebrated in a 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 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 bornagain 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 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.

Keep Your Christmas Trees Watered and Leave Your Drones at Home
Estimates differ depending on whom you are talking to but Pasadena Police Department says over a million people are expected to turn out for the 126th Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game on Jan.1, 2015. Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez and newly appointed Fire Chief Washington held a joint press conference about safety during the holidays and parade. Sanchez reminded everyone at a press briefing that the Federal Aviation Administration essentially declared a “No Fly Zone” for drones or remote controlled aircraft which will be enforced 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Jan. 1 along the parade route and at the stadium. Addressing security concerns, Sanchez emphasized that the Pasadena police are “well-prepared

for spontaneous events or other unusual occurrences.” “We will have overt and covert resources up and down the parade route but again, we would ask that our parade goers help us in creating a very comprehensive security plan and strategy.”
He asked people to do their part in making sure the ever-popular Rose Parade takes place peacefully. He reminded everyone that “If you see something, say something.” “We’re asking of our parade goers and our fans at the Rose Bowl that if you see something suspicious, please alert a Pasadena Police officer or a parade representative, or you can call the Pasadena Police Department at (626) 744-4241. “We’re really trying to harness the awareness of our parade goers so that we can collectively create concentric circles of security at the parade.” Fire Chief Washington also advised the public of the dangers of a dry Christmas trees and also frayed Christmas lighting, which could easily catch fire if not checked carefully.
Whittier Woman Arrested for Hit and Run A female driver is in custody in connection with Sunday night’s hit-and-run case which left a four-monthold infant with a fractured skull, her mother with a broken nose and their family dog dead, South Pasadena Police Chief Art Miller announced at a Tuesday morning press conference. Tiffani Lowden, 38, of Whittier, Calif., has been named as the suspect by South Pasadena Police Chief Art Miller. Miller said Tiffani Lowden, 38, of Whittier, Calif., turned herself into the South Pasadena Police station about 10:30 p.m. Monday on the urging of a family member. Lowden admitted to being the person wanted for the hit-and-run, Miller said, but later invoked her right to have an attorney present and ceased answering questions, Miller said. The vehicle was found abandoned in Los Angeles.

The accident occurred Sunday night at about 7:30 p.m. as Bryan Hollon, 40, and his wife, Alexandra (Ali), 30, joined by their

4-month old infant in a harness-carrier on her mom’s chest, and their dog, a 7-1/2-year-old Boston Terrier named LaBell, were on an evening walk. As they entered the crosswalk at the intersection of Orange Grove Avenue and Columbia Street, the suspect, driving a newer model, dark colored sport utility vehicle, turned from westbound Columbia Street to southbound Orange Grove Avenue and hit the the family. According to some reports, the driver paused briefly then continued and drove from the scene of the crime. Ali Hollon, who sustained a broken nose, told local media “We both landed on the hood of the car, and then it started to slow down and then it accelerated.” Hollon’s daughter sustained two skull fractures. Both were released from the hospital Monday.

Arcadia Winter Meet
Continued from page 1
by the Grade I Malibu and La Brea Stakes, and the Grade II Mathis Brothers Mile (turf). Hollendorfer and Sadler, who dead-heated atop the 2013-14 standings with 34 wins, finished one win clear of Baffert, who checked in with 33. For Hollendorfer, it was his first major meet title in Southern California, while Sadler bagged his third Santa Anita Winter Meet crown. Hollendorfer has announced that his stable star, Shared Belief, will make his next start in the opening day Malibu. America’s Eclipse, Champion two-year-old Male of 2013, the three-year-old gelding by Candy Ride, experienced his first-ever defeat in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 1, and will try to bolster his standing among Eclipse Award voters with an end-of-the-year victory going seven furlongs. Fiercely competitive, Hol-
lendorfer maintains large stables in Southern California and at Golden Gate Fields, located on the East San Francisco Bay. Sadler, who topped Baffert and Hollendorfer in stakes-won by an 8-7-7 margin, has one of the most versatile stables on the west coast and is supported in large measure by top client Kosta Hronis. Known for his meticulous work ethic, Sadler’s horsemanship and organizational skills are second to none. Baffert, who has won a record 11 Winter Meet training titles, is once again well stocked with a talentladen stable, headed perhaps by two-year-old Dortmund, who is unbeaten in two starts and is the current winter book favorite to win the 2015 Kentucky Derby. Arguably the most recognizable figure in American racing, Baffert took the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 1 with top three-year-old Bayern,
who is expected to run at Santa Anita in the coming months. The unflappable O’Neill, who won three consecutive Winter Meet titles in 2005, 06 and 07, returns from suspension and is expected to again field a large stable and be amply represented in all categories. A back-to-back winner of the Santa Anita Derby with I’ll Have Another in 2012 and Goldencents in 2013, O’Neill’s assistant, Leandro Mora, was the trainer of record for Goldencents’ final start—a thrilling victory in the Breeders’ Cup Mile on Oct. 31. Miller, who is currently based at San Luis Rey Downs, has proven a master tactician at the claim box and is known for his aggressive approach to the business. A former groom for the late Charlie Whittingham, Miller has attracted a broad base of owners that includes
Academy Award winning producer Gary Barber and his brother, Cecil. A threetime leading trainer at Del Mar and at times reminiscent in style and demeanor of the late Bobby Frankel, Miller is refreshingly quotable and is expected to contend for leading trainer honors this winter. With six stakes victories and 20 wins overall, Tom Proctor finished sixth in the 2013-14 Winter Meet standings and has decided to once again call Southern California home following a (full-time) hiatus of more than a decade. The son of legendary late trainer, Willard Proctor, Tom has assembled a well-balanced stable that includes longtime client, Glen Hill Farm, which led all Winter Meet owners with 15 wins. Quick with a joke and blessed with a native Texan drawl, Proctor is known as an instinctive horsemen who uses veteran jockeys such as Mike Smith and Gary Stevens,
and is also top apprentice Drayden Van Dyke’s biggest supporter. Hall of Fame conditioners Ron McAnally and Richard Mandella, who rank fourth and seventh, respectively, on Santa Anita’s all time raceswon list, will also hope to make their presence felt over the course of the winter. Mandella’s multiple Eclipse Award Champion Filly, Beholder, who was forced to miss a defense of her title in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff due to illness on Oct. 31, will return to training soon at Santa Anita and McAnally’s multiple graded stakes winning mare, Miss Serendipity, is currently ensconced in McAnally’s Barn 99 on the Santa Anita backstretch. Special early first post time on Friday, Dec. 26, is at 12 noon. For more information, please visit santaanita.com, or call (626) 574-RACE.

UCLA Doctor Deeply Moved by Tragedy in Sierra Leone BY JENNIFER SCHLUETER
As Beacon Media is supporting the Kposowa foundation in their efforts to stop the Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone, Hindo Kposowa, the foundation’s local representative, just informed us that as of December 19th, 997 Ebola cases have been recorded for this month. The daily number of infections ranges between 25 and 93 for December. Beacon also talked to Dr. Suzanne Donovan, Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA and Director of Infection Control Olive View UCLA Medical Center, who, in August, was invited by the World Health Organization “to be a consultant on the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone both as an infectious diseases specialist and an expert in infection control.” Dr. Donovan helped train nurses and other health care workers “on how to protect themselves with PPE (Personal Protective Equipment),” as she says. According to her, an alarming “70% of the national health care workers have died” from Ebola. Dr. Donovan believes that “[t]he best way to stop Ebola in its tracks is early is aggressive action when
there are a few cases with isolation, treatment and contact tracing of every contact of each case.” She adds: “This outbreak became an unprecedented epidemic for a few reasons -- West Africa had no experience with Ebola previously, the countries’ health and public health infrastructure were severely damaged by civil strife, international aid was delayed, and the outbreak occurred in densely populated urban areas versus prior outbreaks in Africa that were constrained to rural villages. Traditional practices such as burials, where mourners are exposed to the virus, also are a significant factor in transmission.” While in Sierra Leone, some of Donovan’s colleagues became infected. She keeps in touch with a group of national and international health care workers and plans to return “to West Africa in 2015 to continue clinical and training efforts.” Donovan also told us that she “was moved by the large number of orphans that are now in these countries. Many villages do not want them to return because of stigma associated with this infection.
Schools are closed and the traditional social structure has imploded at the village on religious, school and social levels, i.e. soccer, a big national passion, is suspended.” For a few months now, Hindo has been leading a team that not only educates villagers in and around the Bumpe district about Ebola, but also supplies them with handwashing stations consisting of buckets, Dettol, and chlorine. Additionally, Hindo assists and trains contact tracers, who follow up on all people who have been in close interaction with Ebola patients. Two weeks ago, we reported that the Bumpe district had only seen five Ebola cases – the lowest number in Sierra Leone at that time. However, before Hindo’s sensitization efforts could reach the surrounding Baomahun village, a nurse from Freetown that had returned to the village, died there and effect several people, mounting the number of cases in our focus area to 27. Seven of the newly infected people have survived, others are still on treatment. As Hindo’s team heard of this, he told us that they “distrib-
Hindo speaking at a meeting in the Ebola hotspot town of Kpetema - Courtesy Photo
uted buckets and chlorine to each household in two villages” and “are tracing more contacts.” Hindo’s latest message reads: “We held a meeting in Kpetema town – an Ebola hotspot town. We have decided to observe a one day lockdown for this town to do a houseto-house check for sick people. For the past two months this town hasn’t been free from having to quarantine homes or folks dying from Ebola. We are taking a non-diplomatic measure this time to free them.” He also explains five challenges Sierra Leone is experiencing nationwide: A delay in transport-
ing patients to quarantine homes and collecting suspected patients, ineffectiveness of security personnel in quarantine homes or areas and of disease surveillance by contract tracers, and the late- or non-disclosure of patient results. If you want to support Hindo, please go to www.healwestafrica.com for more information and on how you can help. He told us: “Please, if there are any possibilities of wiring a reasonable sum to us here, it will be great! We want to buy and help provide food, buckets, dettol, chlorine, medicines and clothes for Ebola orphans. The earlier, the better!”

LATE NEWS
FBI Investigation Says North Korea Hacked Sony
On Friday December 19, the FBI provided the media with an update on the status of their investigation into the cyber attack targeting Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE). In late November, SPE confirmed that it was the victim of a cyber attack that destroyed systems and stole large quantities of personal and commercial data. A group calling itself the “Guardians of Peace” claimed responsibility for the attack and subsequently issued threats against SPE, its employees, and theaters that distribute its movies. The FBI has determined that the intrusion into SPE’s network consisted of the deployment of destructive malware and the theft of proprietary information as well as employees’ personally identifiable information and confidential communications. The attacks also rendered thousands of SPE’s computers inoperable, forced SPE to take its entire computer network offline, and significantly disrupted the company’s business operations. After discovering the intrusion into its network, SPE requested the FBI’s assistance. Since then, the FBI has been working closely with the company throughout the investigation. Sony has been a great partner in the investigation, and continues to work closely with the FBI.
Sony reported this incident within hours, which is what the FBI hopes all companies will do when facing a cyber attack. Sony’s quick reporting facilitated the investigators’ ability to do their jobs, and ultimately to identify the source of these attacks. As a result of the investigation, and in close collaboration with other U.S. Government departments and agencies, the FBI now has enough information to conclude that the North Korean government is responsible for these actions. While the need to protect sensitive sources and methods precludes them from sharing all of this information, their conclusion is based, in part, on the following: • Technical analysis of the data deletion malware used in this attack revealed links to other malware that the FBI knows North Korean actors previously developed. For example, there were similarities in specific lines of code, encryption algorithms, data deletion methods, and compromised networks. •The FBI also observed significant overlap between the infrastructure used in this attack and other malicious cyber activity the U.S. Government has previously linked directly to North Korea. For example, the FBI discovered that several Internet protocol (IP) addresses asso-
ciated with known North Korean infrastructure communicated with IP addresses that were hardcoded into the data deletion malware used in this attack. • Separately, the tools used in the SPE attack have similarities to a cyber attack in March of last year against South Korean banks and media outlets, which was carried out by North Korea. “We are deeply concerned about the destructive nature of this attack on a private sector entity and the ordinary citizens who worked there. Further, North Korea’s attack on SPE reaffirms that cyber threats pose one of the gravest national security dangers to the United States. Though the FBI has seen a wide variety and increasing number of cyber intrusions, the destructive nature of this attack, coupled with its coercive nature, sets it apart. North Korea’s actions were intended to inflict significant harm on a U.S. business and suppress the right of American citizens to express themselves. Such acts of intimidation fall outside the bounds of acceptable state behavior. The FBI takes seriously any attempt – whether through cyber-enabled means, threats of violence, or otherwise – to undermine the economic and social prosperity of our citizens.”

and cancer. Valerie Babinski has two young boys ages eight and 10, Colin and Noah. Valerie was diagnosed with Glioblastoma brain tumors after suffering a seizure while training to run the NYC Marathon. She was an avid marathon runner and ironman participant and was highly involved in the local Little League. During brain surgery to remove the tumor a mere three weeks ago, doctors at UCLA discovered a secondary brain tumor that is inoperable. Valerie is currently dealing with deficits left from her seizure and brain surgery and will begin radiation and chemo therapy shortly. The Arcadia Firefighters Association would like to raise awareness of an online fundraiser that has been established by Valerie's friends to help the Babinski family during this difficult time. It is their desire to encourage Valerie and her young boys during this holiday season. The firefighters who delivered the present Thursday also took the two boys on a ride in Arcadia’s coolest Fire Truck. According to her friend Amanda Gentry, “Valerie is continuing to recover from her surgery. She has ‘found her legs’ again and is moving without the use of a walker.
To prepare yourself properly for shopping after the first of the year, here is the city's list of 28stores who will not be giving you a plastic bag and will charge you for a paper one: MAJOR GROCERY AND PHARMACIES: 1.

Every day she continues to improve with the use of her right hand. She still has a few dexterity issues; however, she does better daily. The last couple of weeks have been a barrage of doctors’ appointments. Just yesterday she spent five hours...yes, five hours in a chair at UCLA having her blood filtered. It was explained to me; it was a similar experience to dialysis. At the end of the day Valerie also went home three bags of blood lighter: platelets, WBC's and plasma. This was all part of the clinical trial she is involved in. Essentially the trial is to develop a vaccine for her brain tumor. This treatment is already approved in parts of Europe and having amazing results, so
for Valerie to be a part of this is amazing. The blood specimens had to be collected before Valerie starts her Chemo/Radiation... which should commence next week.” Last weekend Valerie had the opportunity to get out amongst some of her running friends. Her oldest son, Noah, ran in the Holiday half 5K race. It was his very first race and he did amazing. He finished in 32 minutes and some change. Originally Valerie was supposed to run with Noah; however, with all the recent events it was not possible. So, Valerie’s amazing friend, Helen Crutchfield, stepped in and ran with him. Valerie was so proud of Noah...as were we all! It was a good morning and
Valerie was glad to be out and see some of her running friends. The next phase of getting Valerie well is six weeks of full brain radiation in conjunction with pill-for chemo. The doctors feel Valerie will tolerate the treatments well. Probably fatigue will be the worse side-effect along with some nausea. But Valerie knows what is in store and she remains optimistic, vigilant and has maintained her amazing sense of humor throughout this.

Sheriff's Deputy Sentenced Continued from page 1
months in federal prison. James Sexton, 30, was sentenced by United States District Judge Percy Anderson, who said the defendant “lost the courage to stand up when he knew things were wrong.” After his case was severed from the other six defendants in the case, Sexton was found guilty in September of attempting to quash an investigation by the FBI into civil rights abuses at jail facilities operated by the Sheriff’s Department. The jury determined that Sexton was part of a broad conspiracy to obstruct justice—a plot in which conspirators, including two lieutenants, attempted to influence witnesses, threatened an FBI agent with arrest and concealed an FBI informant who should have been turned over
to federal authorities. Sexton was found guilty of conspiring to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice. The conspiracy to obstruct justice began in the summer of 2011 after sheriff’s deputies assigned to the Men’s Central Jail learned that a jail inmate was an FBI informant and was acting as a cooperator in a federal investigation into corruption and civil rights violations at the jail. The evidence showed that the defendants learned that the inmate received a cellular phone from a deputy sheriff who took a bribe and that the inmate was part of a federal civil rights investigation. Those involved in the obstruction scheme took affirmative steps to hide the cooperator from the FBI and the United States
Marshals Service, which was attempting to bring the inmate into federal custody pursuant to an order issued by a federal judge. As part of the conspiracy, records were altered to make it appear as if the cooperator had been released, but he was re-booked under different names. The jury heard evidence that Sexton, who was part of a gang intelligence unit called Operation Safe Jails (OSJ), changed the name of the informant and his booking number in the jail computer system, which allowed members of the conspiracy to hide the informant from the FBI. Sexton’s lieutenant “called him into the OSJ office and asked defendant Sexton to use his expertise in navigating the archaic LASD computer system to
help [hide the informant] from the federal authorities,” prosecutors wrote in a sentencing document filed with the court. “Defendant knew he was being asked to become an essential part of a criminal plan. Defendant knew that he would be taking part in wrongdoing, and, as the conspiracy progressed, he knew time after time that the actions he took and those taken by his co-conspirators were wrong and illegal.” Following the one-year prison term, which Judge Anderson ordered to begin on February 16, 2015, Sexton will be on supervised release for one year. Six co-conspirators who were tried separated were found guilty of obstruction of justice and other charges earlier. They were sentenced in September to federal terms of up to 41 months.

Mayor Bartlett Honored

Bob Bartlett, who was recently released from hospital, shares memories with his friends and former colleagues - Photo by Terry Mlller
Drive was always number one in baseball. We beat Walnut Avenue and Almond Avenue.” Bartlett is a second-generation Monrovian. Bob remembers boyhood days riding around on his bicycle and “borrowing” oranges and pomegranates from Monrovia fruit groves. His mother, born Mary Gadbury, came to Monrovia in 1925 when she was six years old. “My mom was the best,” said Bob. Mary graduated from Monrovia High School, raised five children on Royal Oaks Drive, and was active in
the PTA, Bethel AME Church, and other community organizations. Bob’s father, Ray Bartlett, was a gifted sports athlete from Pasadena. He participated in football, baseball, basketball, and track at Pasadena Junior College. In 1938, he and Jackie Robinson, who became the first African American to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) in the modern era, helped PJC win the state championship. The two went on to UCLA together and then played for the semi-
professional Honolulu Bears football team right before Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941. Ray was conscripted into the service, and his marriage with young Mary did not last. After the war, Ray went on to become a detective with the Pasadena Police Department. Bob’s stepfather, Russell Carr, was a construction worker for over 30 years. Russell’s grandfather was Seaborn Carr. Seaborn Carr migrated from Georgia to Pasadena in 1893. In 1902, he established The Enterprise, Pasadena’s first African American newspaper, and in 1903, he was one of the founding members of Scott Methodist Episcopal Church. Bob was energetic and jovial at the Friday event. He got testimonials and good wishes from a long string of politicians, neighbors, and family. It was a great party.

and lifetime confinement of orcas to SeaWorld's tiny concrete tanks constitute an emergency that necessitated action—in Slyter's case, her disruption of SeaWorld's propaganda plan. "This trial is just one step in the vigorous and growing movement to free the orcas who are cruelly confined at SeaWorld and denied everything that is natural and important to them at SeaWorld," says Slyter. "More and more people are demanding that SeaWorld move the orcas to a coastal sanctuary where they would enjoy some semblance of a natural life." Since the release of the documentary Blackfish, SeaWorld's stock has dropped 47 percent, and in just the last week, the company's CEO resigned and more than 300 other employees were laid off. As for this year's Rose Parade? There will be no SeaWorld float in sight. More information about PETA's campaign is available at SeaWorldOfHurt.com.

Beat the Holiday Bulge
As predictable as people running to the mail box on April 15th at midnight or camping all night outside of an Apple store for a new product, is the 5-10lbs the average American gains over the Holidays. Here are some unique ways to help fight against the inevitable postholiday spread: 1. Eat dinner at home before you go to a party Party food, by definition, is not going to be healthy. High in sodium, fat and sugar and in convenient bite-size pieces, it is tempting to overeat if you arrive at a party hungry. Eating a healthy dinner before will help curb unnecessary grazing. 2. Schedule your workouts as you would any other important appointment There really is no such thing as not having time to exercise---it is all a matter of priority. We get really busy during this time but treating our workouts as important appointments will help against procrastination. 3. Eat breakfast on Christmas Day In anticipation of a large meal on Christmas Day, we tend to avoid eating until we sit down. Not eating for so many hours lowers metabolism, it makes us really hungry so we eat faster, resulting in consuming far more calories in one sitting than we usually would. Also, dehydration plays a part in hunger, so make sure you drink enough water. 4. Don't wait for New Year's to start your new ex-
ercise program Having a few weeks of an exercise program under your belt before New Year's Day means that you will be able to resume your workouts on January 2nd instead of finally getting your act together around mid-January, like the rest of the population. 5. You don't have to eat everything on your plate! Remember how great Christmas leftovers are? 6. Give the gift of fitness Most gyms and personal trainers have gift certificates available. Encouraging family and friends to exercise will help motivate them and you. Be tactful by making sure they would appreciate it before surprising them with it, though; as this can be a sensitive subject. 7. Enjoy without guilt The Holidays are meant to be fun so enjoy, just be sensible with eating, drinking and working out. Accept that it will be difficult to eat healthily all of the time but do not allow one unhealthy meal to ruin your whole day.

Billboards Warn of Drunk Driving Dangers During Holiday Season
Clear Channel Outdoor (CCO) today announced that for the 7th consecutive year, it is partnering with the Ad Council on a campaign to combat drunk driving during the holiday season. The campaign messages are up now and will run through the New Year. The PSAs will be featured on CCO’s billboards throughout Los Angeles in an effort to educate motorists that consuming even a few drinks can impair driving and that the physical and financial consequences of buzzed driving can be devastating. “The holiday season should be one of the most joyous times of year – but it can also be one of the most dangerous times to be on road, making it even more critical that we reach folks when and where it matters to remind them of the risks and consequences of impaired driving,” said Layne Lawson, director of public affairs for Clear Channel Outdoor.

To support the effort, CCO is donating space on its traditional billboards throughout the Los Angeles area, warning motorists across the region of the dangers inherent in buzzed driving. The company will also expand the campaign to its digital billboards on New Year’s Eve in an effort to increase exposure to the message as the holiday has historically brought an unfortunate increase in drunk driving occurrences. The use of billboards for the campaign ensures that the messages reach the most important audience, as they are delivered directly to those who are on the road. “We are proud to once again partner with
the Ad Council to bring this important message to Angelenos and travelers during the holiday season and to do our part to help keep our roadways safe,” Lawson added. CCO routinely partners with the Ad Council on efforts like this to ensure its resources are used to benefit the public. CCO’s digital billboards are also regularly used to relay critical public safety information during emergency circumstances; this includes AMBER alerts for child abductions, FBI Most Wanted notices, and messaging from local police and fire departments. The boards were deployed earlier this fall in partnership with the Coali-
tion to Abolish Slavery & Trafficking (CAST), Polaris, and regional and local elected officials to launch an anti-trafficking awareness campaign still running on billboards throughout Los Angeles County. CCO also partnered with the Southern California Water Committee (SCWC) this summer to launch a drought awareness and conservation campaign featuring @Lawn_Dude. The unique ability of digital signs to reach a wide audience while displaying messages in real-time allows them to act as valuable resources for non-profit organizations, public safety agencies, law enforcement, and a variety of others who need to effectively relay messages to the public.
Baby Boomers Still Play Active Role in Housing Market, Survey Finds Previous Homeowners Twice as Likely to Buy Again as Non-Owners As the wealthiest generation and the first to drive the housing market, baby boomers will continue to be a pillar of the housing market, according to the Arcadia Association of Realtors®. While nearly half (46 percent) of baby boomer renters who previously owned a home sold it primarily due to financial reasons, the vast majority still have a strong desire to purchase a home. The survey of California baby boomers* (born between 1946 and 1964), conducted by the California Association of Realtors® found that 63 percent of boomer renters would be motivated to buy a home if they saw an improvement in their finances, affordable home prices, or other reasons. Moreover, 22 percent said they expect to buy a home in the next five years. “Baby boomers are in

their peak earning years and will continue to wield great influence on the housing market,” said 2014 A.A.R. President Mike Vachani. “Even those who went through financial difficulties during the economic crisis recognize the benefits of homeownership and would rather buy another home than rent.” Baby boomer renters who previously owned a home are also in a better financial position to purchase a home, having a higher average annual household income ($78,570) than those boomers who have never owned a home ($39,825). Nearly half (45 percent) of boomer renters have previously owned a home and are more likely to buy again than those who have not owned before by about a two-to-one margin (31 percent vs. 17 percent). Additional findings
from C.A.R.’s “2014 Baby Boomer Survey” include: •Nearly all homeowners (92 percent) have equity in their home, but 77 percent said they don’t plan to use the home equity for income during retirement. •More than half of homeowner boomers (59 percent) don’t plan to sell their home when they retire, with 78 percent of them indicating they won’t sell because they like their current home. •Out of the 10 percent of current homeowners who plan on selling their home when they retire, nearly half (47 percent) plan to downsize to a smaller home, and 44 percent plan to move out of California. •Despite the recent economic recession, only one in four baby boomers had to postpone retirement. On average, they plan to retire in nine years,
with 67 percent saying they plan to retire within 10 years. •Three in 10 baby boomers live with their children, with 2 percent saying they moved in with their children; 8 percent of them saying their children moved back in with them; and 21 percent saying their children never moved out. The majority of those living with their children live with adult children mainly due to their children’s financial troubles. Baby boomers pay for a majority of living expenses, with their children only contributing a median of $325 monthly for living expenses. •Improved affordability would motivate boomer renters to buy a home, but 37 percent said they don’t want to buy. •Less than half of boomer renters (47 percent) have debt that would prevent them from buying a home.

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 be-
ing 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.
