New Sick Leave Law Misunderstood, Trouble for Small Businesses California’s new paid sick law goes into effect January 1, but many small businesses don’t understand the law or its impact for their operations. Lonnie Giamela – a partner at national labor and employment firm Fisher & Phillips LLP – is counseling his clients to educate themselves and prepare.
“Small businesses are going to be the most heavily impacted by this new statute, something most don’t even realize,” said Giamela. “There’s a real lack of clarity, so many small businesses are ignoring the new statute. That’s a big mistake.” Please see page 22

Serving Leaders, Serving Teams A bi-monthly column by Heather Backstrom, Ed.D. BY DOROTHY DENNE
New Year Ahead The start of a new year is a perfect time to commit to actions that will positively impact you and your team. Here are six resolutions to get you started. 1. Acknowledge the Good Work of Others: Most managers only give feedback when things are going poorly or exceptionally well. Be a standout manager by regularly acknowledging the good work of your employees. Praise is a big motivator that drives productivity and commitment. Make it a priority to compliment at least one of your employees each day for their good work. Be specific by saying, “Jim, your solution to our inventory problem meant we filled our customer orders instead of putting people on a wait-list. Good work.” 2. Listen, Listen, Listen: Managers tread in dangerous territory when they tend to talk more than
listen to their employees. When an employee feels listened to they feel valued. When an employee feels valued they work hard and this translates into bottomline results. So the art and skill of effective listening pays off with happier employees and tangible business outcomes. 3. Set Clear Goals: A road map of clear goals makes it easy for you and your team to stay on track and remain focused on what’s most important. Try this exercise: To identify goals for 2015 pretend that it’s now January 1, 2016 and ask yourself, “What made 2015 a successful year?” Based upon your answer formulate clear, tangible goals and share them with your team. Better yet, have your team do the very same exercise. Then listen to what they see as making 2015 successful. Blend together their ideas and yours
to formulate goals for the new year. 4.Delegate More: Lots of managers tend to hold onto projects but this is a lose-lose situation for them and their employees. When managers don’t delegate they lose out on balancing their workload and their employees lose out on new challenges. When you delegate you’re able to focus on new, novel and innovative projects that propel the organization forward. Delegating also allows your employees to spread their wings and develop their skills. Delegating conveys your trust in them which is paramount to employee satisfaction. 5. Professional Development: It’s important that both you and your employees continually grow and develop professionally. Join a professional association, take a training class, attend a conference, find a men-
tor, read a book or watch a TED Talk. In the workplace itself employees can also grow professionally from cross-training opportunities, stretch assignments and onthe-job training. Meet with each of your employees to find out how they’d like to grow professionally and then collaboratively find an avenue to achieve it. 6. Be Grateful: Appreciate all that you have - your colleagues, friends, family, a job and a place to live. Be grateful for what makes your life enjoyable. Each day take a moment to pause in gratitude. Make 2015 a great year for you and your employees. Heather Backstrom is an executive coach, leadership development consultant and speaker.

This Year's Going to be Different Time to close the old calendar and open the new. This year is going to be different. I'll get the birthdays, theater dates and all that stuff written in right away. I save the old one to serve as a diary of the year that has just slipped by. I slide the heel of my hand down the new. It won't lie flat. Give it a couple of days. On to the second project of the new year. I take the tinsel and ornaments from the tree and replace them in their boxes. No more needles permanently imbedded in the carpet since we've gone artificial but I still get pricked as I fold the tree branches. I visually inventory the decorations on the mantle
and the tables. This is the year I'm finally going to get rid of some of the older ones, the bent, the chipped, the dusty. First the reindeer with the broken leg. Nephew Rolly was three that year. He thought all four legs should be straight. These little snowmen haven't been pure white for years. I guess nephew Greg made them when he was in kindergarten. How many times have I reglittered this old angel? I remember the night husband Bob sat her by my plate after we had that little tiff. He said I was an angel for giving in. It's no use. Maybe next year. Up to the attic with all.

Dear Editor: One nagging question remains! Economic prosperity is back, the unemployment rate has steadily gone down, millions of uninsured people now have medical insurance, the auto industry is healthy again, the stock market has hit an all time high which in turn has improved 401(k) holdings of the middle class, gas prices keep going down, and Ebola is under control. So why did voters give Republicans a lop-sided victory in the midterm elections? Were voters unhappy that there are millions of more jobs, that the President has stimulated economic growth, worked at boosting wages, improving infrastructure, controlling health care costs? Do the Republicans with their base of antiabortion, anti-gay, anti-immigration and Tea Party reactionaries represent
mainstream America? Were American voters saying they want continued Tea Party Republican obstruction, gridlock and dysfunction. Were American voters saying they wanted more Republican voodoo economics? What were voters thinking when they gave 'do-nothing' Republicans control of Congress again? -Ron Lowe Santa Monica, Dec. 27, 2014 Dear Editor, I received [a copy of] Pasadena Star News -1228-2014…with the Pasadena Rose Parade Magazine 2015 and much to my dismay Rose Queen Madison Triplett was not on the cover. This is a clear departure from the previous two years where the Queen is prominently featured on the front cover of the magazine. One of the things that I feel deeply about is that
everyone is treated fairly and with respect. Rose Queen Triplett represents the best in all young women. I had the opportunity to hear this intelligent young lady speak and was quite impressed with how poised and articulate she was. Queen Triplett is a quality product of PUSD (Marshall High School) and our community and we are absolutely proud of her accomplishments. How much more pleasing and inspirational to the community to have seen Queen Triplett grace the cover of Pasadena Rose Parade Magazine? The current cover of the magazine does not reflect the diverse community we are. Nor does it convey the kind of ambassadorial representation as a lovely photo of our Queen would have presented to the world. Moreover, a kind of precedent has been established as
the previous four editions of the annual publication prominently displayed a photo of the reigning Queen. One has to ponder the thought of why after four years a photo of the Queen was omitted from the cover? A reasonable explanation would be greatly appreciated. The Pasadena Star News also carried an article about Joan Williams. Miss Williams was named Miss Crown City almost 60 years ago and was not permitted to ride in the Rose Parade. Thanks to Mayor Bogaard for reaching out to Williams and helping to secure a float for her to ride on in the 2015 Parade. -Gwendolyn McMullins Editor’s Note: Please see our own website: www. pasadenaroseparade.com for complete Rose Parade coverage including lots of photos and a feature on this year’s Rose Queen, Madison Triplett.
Open Letter to Pasadena Chief of Police Dear Chief Sanchez: We members of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance and supporting clergy leaders in the Pasadena area feel compelled to express our outrage at the murder of two New York City officers by Ismaaiyl Brinsley on December 20, apparently when they were relaxing in their patrol car during their lunch break. In social media posts shortly before his act of violence, this man tried to justify his actions by refer-
ring to the recent incidents in Ferguson MO and New York City in which African-American men died as a result of what many perceive as overreaction by police officers. We totally reject that any connection can be made between the two. It is clear from his text messages that the killer was really acting out of his own sense of profound personal failure, which had led him to shoot his former girlfriend a few hours earlier. It seems that he had been mentally ill and suicidal for some time. Among the messages sent by Brinsley that day was this: “I'd rather die a gangster than go to sleep a coward.” The violent choice he made guaranteed that he would not be seen as a “gangster,” because this confused and pathetic man seems to have acted entirely alone. At the same time, his attack on the two officers, who were surprised and virtually defenseless, made it clear that he was indeed a coward. Brinsley seemed to believe he was standing up for the young men in Ferguson and New York City who were targeted unfairly because of the color of their skin. But as NYC Police Commissioner William Bratton pointed out, his two victims were “targeted for their uniform.” To complete the irony of Brinsley's tragic choice, his two victims were both from racial minority groups. We believe in the
right and responsibility of people in the community to speak out when they think police actions are unfair, arbitrary or unnecessarily forceful, but we do not condone disrespect for the law or law officers that may manifest itself in violence or destruction of property. Finally, we feel we must express our sincere empathy and sorrow, on behalf of ourselves and our communities, to the wife of Officer Wenjian Liu and the wife and sons of Officer Rafael Ramos. We are praying that God will help fill the empty places in their lives with his love. We hope and pray that families of officers in our own Pasadena Police Department will never have to face such an awful experience. We are also praying that all Americans will be reminded that violence is self-defeating and only leads to more violence. The Bible teaches: “If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:20-21). This non-violence may be the hardest way to react, but we believe it has the most potential for creating positive change. We look forward to continuing to work together with you to make our City a place where mutual respect and neighborly support are always seen as “The Pasadena Way.” - Rev. John B. Bledsoe

The Wild Animals During several Sierra Madre City Council meetings, a number of people spoke on the subject of the wild animals that have been visiting the homes and streets in the City. In the first place, the City passed an ordinance on not allowing any hunting in the City. This was the result of a story in which a hunter killed a deer in the mountain area outside of the City, but he brought the deer into the City in order to place the animal in his car that was parked in the City. The Pasadena S.P.C.A. receives all the money from dog and cat licenses and in addition they also receive thousands of dollars from the City. What do the people receive in return? The answer is "Well, they will impound your dog or cat if it gets loose from your yard." Will they respond to phone calls for a raccoon, opossum or skunk or coyote? The answer is no! If one of those wild animals enters your property a homeowner must call an exterminator and the cost is not cheap. If they trap any of these animals, using dog food for bait, then they simply take the wild animal up to Wilderness Park and turn it loose. How long does it take for that animal to get back into our yards? Is this a cure for that problem? Nothing was said about the squirrels that have invaded the City in recent years! They eat the fruit off of our trees, and also eat the insulation on the electrical wires after climbing up the poles. Anyone care to provide information on how to rid the City of this problem? Most of the time was taken up on the subject of what to do with the bears that have invaded the City. One of these bears even walked on Sierra Madre Blvd., right in front of City Hall! The police that spoke

on the subject made two basic points - if a person encounters a bear, do not run, but make a lot of noise and you will scare the bear into going away. If you call the police department, then their response is based upon how busy the pedestrian traffic is at the time of day that they receive the call. At any rate, their only solution is to try to get the bear back into the mountain wilds. No one mentioned the experience with bears at Yellowstone Park. At the park they used to dump all the leftovers from meals onto the grounds for the bears to eat, until one bear ate a young boy in a tent where the smell of fried chicken was in the air. They discovered one simple fact - once a bear has eaten human foods, then it will no longer hunt for food in the wild. At Yellowstone Park, their cure for the problem was to kill all the bears that had been fed human foods. The other bears were transported far away from any place where people were. People only occupy or travel in only 10 percent of the acreage of the Park. This process was helped due to the fact that the Elk population had greatly increased, which is the bear's natural prey. Will the police's suggestions cure the problem? It's anyone's guess, but we think not! -Sierra Madre Watchman
Pasadena Community Coalition Angered by TOR’s Silence Editor’s note: A few weeks ago we published an open letter from Pasadena Community Coalition asking why the Tournament of Roses seemingly lacks a diverse work force in management. (see: http:// www.pasadenaindependent. com/community/columns/ open-letter-to-president-andboard-of-tournament-of-rosesassociation/) Upon receiving the letter we contacted the TOR for comment. We were told that the Tournament would address Mr. Gordon’’s letter personally and not through

the media. According to Mr. Martin, that response has yet to transpire, hence his follow-up.
Open Letter to “Tournament of Racism” “The Pasadena Community Coalition's letter to the Executive Board of the Tournament of Roses, received in their offices on November 24, 2014, requesting that they address the lack of hiring of any African-American males on their staff has yet to be formally acknowledged or responded to by the Board. Copies of the letter were sent to the American Honda Co., ESPN, the NCAA, the Pac 12, and the Big 10, but these other groups also have not replied to us about the concerns listed in our correspondence. Three years ago, the lack of African-American males on the staff of the Tournament of Roses, better known as the “Tournament of Racism,” and the traditional non-hiring of them, was brought to the attention of the organization through a meeting ar-
ranged by Joe Brown of the NAACP. Attending that discussion were leading members of the Tournament, including former President Sally Bixby, and Tournament members Gerald Freeny and Otis Triplett, and Executive Director Bill Flynn. The Tournament promised to address this issue head on, yet here we are at the end of 2014 and they have not only reneged on their promise but have also refused to even respond to recent questions about the situation. For the Tournament of Roses to not honor its commitment going back 3 years is truly unacceptable and a sign of egregious indifference. Moreover, this same issue of the “Tournament of Racism” was raised over 20 years ago, presented to the organization’s executive director at the time, Jack French. He stated that African-Americans were not qualified to be on the Executive Committee. This provoked an outcry not only in Pasadena, but nationally and beyond, to the
point that Nelson Mandela, Coretta Scott King and Jesse Jackson vowed to hold a counter-parade to the Rose Parade. At that moment, the Tournament of Roses recognized their Executive Committee should be more diverse, and eventually moved to have women, Asians and Latinos on the Committee. In a recent article in one of the local Pasadena newspapers mentioning this ongoing issue, and according to the query of the reporter, the response of the Tournament of Roses to its lack of, in particular, African-American male employees will be directed to Martin A. Gordon of the Pasadena Community Coalition. But more than 30 days have passed and the silence of the Tournament continues and is deafening. Ignoring this issue is hardly a credible response! We describe the current outcome in that way – and with great emphasis – because over 70 percent of the players of football teams Please see page 7

Duarte Man Faces 15 Years to Life for DUI Crash
A Duarte man was found guilty today of second-degree murder and several other felony counts for a 2011 DUI crash that killed a 42-year-old woman, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. A jury found William Jose Segura guilty of one count each of second-degree murder, gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, DUI causing injury with three priors, leaving the scene of an accident, and driving while having .08 percent or higher blood alcohol. The jury also found true allegations of great bodily injury and blood alcohol of .15 percent or higher in case GA084275. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 27, in Department T of the Los Angeles County Superior Court,
Alhambra Branch. The defendant faces at least 15 years to life in state prison. On Sept. 16, 2011, Segura, formerly with the Navy, went drinking at two different places before driving down Huntington Drive in Duarte, according to court testimony. His car rear-ended the vehicle driven by Lisa Marie Mireles causing it to jump the curb and crash against a tree, killing her instantly, according to witness testimony. Segura had DUI convictions in 2004, 2006 and 2010 and he was arrested for a fourth DUI four months prior to the crash that killed Mireles, prosecutors said. He was driving on a suspended license and was in a court-mandated alcohol program at the time of the deadly crash, prosecutors added.
Woman Charged with Assault After Pointing Gun at Police A Los Angeles woman was charged today with six counts of assault with a firearm after allegedly pointing a gun during a fight in a Hollywood parking structure, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday. Diamond Shirley Vargas, will be arraigned at a later date due to medical issues. Prosecutors will ask that her bail be set at $1.3 million.
Vargas was arrested Dec. 26 following a fight that occurred in a parking structure at Hollywood and Highland. Police shot Vargas after she brandished a firearm at officers.The complaint alleges Vargas has prior convictions for assault and robbery. If convicted, she faces more than 30 years in state prison. The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Pasadena City Official Charged
Continued from page 1
Office into the alleged misappropriation of public funds and embezzlement of $6.4 million from the City of Pasadena. A former Pasadena Public Works analyst and two of his friends were arrested on charges they embezzled more than $6 million in city money over a decade, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced today. Danny R. Wooten, Tyrone Collins, and Melody Jenkins were arrested this morning by the District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation. They are charged in a 60- count felony complaint for arrest warrant, case BA430233, with embezzlement, conflict of interest and grand theft with excessive taking allegations. The case is being pros-
ecuted by Deputy District Attorney Bjorn Dodd with the Public Integrity Division. Wooten was a management analyst in the city’s Public Works Department, which was in charge of relocating all of the city’s utility lines underground. Between 2004 and March 2014, Wooten is suspected of creating false invoices for the underground utility program and stealing more than $6 million. He allegedly directed more than $2 million of the stolen money to Collins, who owns Collins Electric.Wooten also allegedly gave Jenkins, who was a temporary Pasadena City employee, more than $40,000 in stolen city money. In addition, Wooten is suspected of setting up
bank accounts in his name and directing city money to two churches he was affiliated with – the Southern California Evangelist Jurisdiction Center and the New Covenant Christian Fellowship Center in Pomona. Prosecutors said the alleged theft was discovered earlier this year when the city ordered an audit. If convicted, Wooten faces up to 28 years in state prison. Collins faces up to 18 years in state prison. Jenkins faces up to four years in state prison. City officials provided information about an internal audit conducted into the embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds and and offered details on the City’s response and initiatives for greater oversight in the future.

under the auspices of the NCAA are African-American males. Furthermore the economic benefit they bring, which involves hundreds of millions of dollars to each college campus and sports program, including that of the Pac 12 (UCLA and USC), and the Big 10, is tremendous. How can the Tournament of Roses, which also receives great value from these teams and their players, not be greatly concerned about the lack of any African American male on their staff? After all, so much of the worth and fame of the Tournament of Roses’ annual parade is dependent on the Rose Bowl game, which much of the public immediately identifies with the parade, and which, in turn, involves men of African descent. It’s long overdue that the “Tournament of Racism” and their "inspiring story" should be one about the Executive Committee announcing that Executive Director Bill Flynn is resigning from the Tournament for his lack of leadership and promotion of diversity. That way the “Tournament of Racism” can again be the Tournament of Roses.” Martin A. Gordon, Chair Pasadena Community Coalition

attracts students to the college,” said Citrus College Superintendent/President Geraldine M. Perri, Ph.D. “As we observe our Centennial, we can reflect on the college’s many achievements and the important fact that these successes have fueled our growth.” Citrus College’s latest accolade is supported by an array of highly successful academic programs and student support services that have attracted more students to the institution. In addition to being included among the nation’s fastest growing community colleges, Citrus College is also a consistent presence on Community College Week’s “Top 100 Associate Degree Producers” lists. In June 2014, the college awarded 2,119 associate degrees at its
June 2014 Commencement, an all-time record for the fourth consecutive year. And, since 2011, the college’s nationallyacclaimed Veteran’s Program has received G.I. Jobs magazine’s Military Friendly School® designation. Most recently, Citrus College’s STEM Program (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) was selected as a STEM JobsSM Approved College for 2015 by Victory Media. In September, the college’s Career/Technical Education Program was recognized by Career/ PayScale, Inc. as one of the nation’s top 10 public two-year colleges based on alumni earning potential; the institution ranked fifth among California’s 112 community colleges in this category.
At the state level, Citrus College is third among the California community colleges in the number of Associate Degrees for Transfer awarded. Locally, the institution’s outstanding reputation was confirmed last spring when it was voted the “Best Community College” in the San Gabriel Valley Newsgroup’s annual “Readers Choice” poll. “This new accomplishment is wonderful news for the community members served by Citrus College,” said Mrs. Joanne Montgomery, president of the Citrus Community College District Board of Trustees. “As students, faculty, and staff look forward to the holiday season, I hope the college’s newest national honor adds to their pride in Citrus College.”

Leondra Kruger Becomes Youngest Supreme Court Judge in 100 Years
Pasadena Public Meetings Jan. 6-7, 2015 for Director of Public Health Recruitment
BY JENNIFER SCHLUETER Leondra Kruger
Last Monday, Leondra Kruger was unanimously approved as the youngest justice of the California Supreme Court in almost a century. The 38-year old had been nominated by Governor Jerry Brown in November, and will be sworn into office by him on January 5, along with Mariano-Florentino Cuellar, who was confirmed as justice in August. Cuellar will replace retiring Justice Marvin Baxtor and Kruger will fill Justice Joyce Kennard’s seat, who had retired in April. Kruger was appointed by California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye; Attorney General Kamala Harris; and Joan Dempsey Klein, “presiding justice of the second appellate district division three,” who rated her “‘ex-
ceptionally well-qualified,’ [which is] the highest ranking a judicial candidate can receive,” according to Courthouse News. Patch.com quoted former Assistant U.S. Solicitor General Benjamin Horwich, who had worked with Kruger: “She listens, she thinks, she listens, she thinks and then she listens some more.” Cantil-Sakauye, chair of the San Francisco-based court, “called Kruger’s credentials ‘truly stellar,’” according the website. Following an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and a law degree from Yale University, Kruger worked as an assistant law professor at the University of Chicago, and practiced privately. The website also reported that she then went to Washing-
ton, D.C., where she became “assistant to the U.S. solicitor general and acting principal deputy solicitor general,” and later deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel. Kruger was born and raised in Glendale; however, has never practiced law in California nor been a judge. Thus, Cantil-Sakauye questioned Kruger about these two lacking fields to which Kruger answered that her work with the Justice Department has exposed her to a variety of legal principles and that she hopes to continue learning and “draw on the expertise of her colleagues on the court,” as Patch notes. According to the LA Times, Kruger told California Attorney General
-Courtesy photo
Kamala Harris that she was excited “to have the opportunity to come back home” to California. “It is where I was born and raised and where my family still lives,” she added. On the seven member court, Kruger will be one of three Democrats. Additionally, she will be the only African American member. Her colleague Cuellar, a law Professor at Stanford University, who also went to Harvard and Yale, will be the only Latino justice. He grew up in a border town in Mexico and, according to several sources, legally walked across the border every day to attend school on a scholarship in Texas. After his father was granted green cards, Cuellar became a citizen in 1994.
The public is invited to provide comments and other input at three community meetings as the City prepares for a nationwide recruitment of a new director for the Pasadena Public Health Department. Community information and feedback sessions are an important part of the process. The sessions will be hosted by the City Manager’s Office and the Human Resources Department as follows: -Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2015 – 6:00 p.m. Victory Park Recreation Center Gymnasium 2575 Paloma St. -Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2015 – 12:00 p.m. City Hall Council Chambers 100 N. Garfield Ave., Second Floor -Wednesday, Jan. 7,
2015 – 4:30 p.m. Jackie Robinson Community Center, 1020 N. Fair Oaks Ave. Community members who cannot attend a session or who would like to submit comments electronically can do so through a short online survey at http://cityofpasadena.net/ Director-Public-HealthRecruitment/. The survey will be available until Jan. 31, 2015. Stay connected to the City of Pasadena!

DINING & ENTERTAINMENT Loveable Weirdo: The Unique Tom Green Returns, Jan. 23 The Ice House Comedy Club is thrilled to welcome the mischievous and always surprising stand-up of Tom green on Friday, Jan. 23. Tom Green sparked a TV revolution with his hit MTV comedy series The Tom Green Show. One of MTV's top-rated programs, it paved the way for shows like Jackass, Punk'd and Fear Factor. With its guerrilla video tactics and outrageous stunts, it was unlike anything that had been seen before. The Tom Green Show began on public access TV and was picked up by MTV. In a sense, it was the original independent, viral-video hit, years before YouTube even existed. The raw home-video look was what made the show relatable to young audiences across the globe, and its hilarious clips are still hugely popular online. After his show was acquired and broadcast
by MTV, Tom went on to produce, direct and star in several films. He appeared in such blockbusters as Road Trip and Charlie's Angels, as well as the cult classics Freddy Got Fingered, Stealing Harvard, and Bob the Butler. He has appeared multiple times on The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show, Oprah, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, The View, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Live with Regis & Kelly, and The Wendy Williams Show. In fact, he is one of the few comedians in history given the chance to guest-host David Letterman's program. He has also hosted Saturday Night Live, and has appeared on numerous magazine covers including the coveted cover of Rolling Stone magazine. His autobiography "Hollywood Causes Cancer" is a critically-

2014 – A Year to Remember On the previous page: From the sadness of losing a teammate after a terrible bus crash in Northern California to losing a firefighter, husband and dad in Arcadia – just two of the tragedies that made news last year. Despite the serious drought, we had a last ditch effort at some rain late in the year which caused a muddy mess in Monrovia. The 2015 Rose Queen was ecstatic at hearing the news of her selection; meanwhile CHP spend a considerable amount of time cleaning up after several 18-wheelers lost control on the 210 Freeway. This page: Pasadena Chief of Police Sanchez held a press conference in June dealing with a triple homicide. We also lost two great comedic giants in 2014 – first Jonathan Winters and then Robin Williams. Of course, the fires and drought continue to be major stories year round in California.

Santa Anita Winter Meet Opens to Big Crowd BY JACOB BIGLEY Another lucrative opening day took place at Santa Anita Park as a rumored 40,000 spectators made their way to Arcadia to participate in the beginning of the 78th season of great horse racing. Nine races would take place during the picturesque, Friday afternoon as fans tried their luck in picking the winners. As Jay Cohen’s trumpet sounded the intro for each race, Trevor Denman's famous "and away they go!" echoed throughout park. With each passing race, more and more tickets would be discarded in unfavorable finishes. The most favorable horse of the day was that of Shared Belief. A three year old horse, with veteran
Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith aboard. He was running in the $301,000 Malibu stakes and went off at 1/2 odds. After an exciting race, Shared Belief was able to pull away with the victory holding off 70-1 contender, Conquest Two Step.
The Opening Day at Santa Anita saw a terrific amount of energy from not only the horses and jockeys but the spectators who are delighted the track is back in full swing for Another season. -Top photo by Jacob Bigley and the remaining by Terry Miller.

Having lived here most of my life I can tell you that for most of my life Monrovia has been improving and has been the place that others wanted to be like. It saddens me to say that this is no longer the case and for the past six years I have seen Monrovia going backwards. During the past 3 Mayoral Terms we have had a rotation of seven different

Many of these have been part time Managers and although I voted against any of the part time management arrangements I think we can all agree that Monrovia needs to be run on a full time basis, we all deserve better, our staff deserves better.

infrastructure are in dire condition and we must do something to reverse this. To that end, I am running for Mayor in the election that will take place in April. I will not make anyone uncomfortable in asking for their support as I recognize that many of us have mutual friends. I do this for Monrovia because I do believe that Monrovia must come first.” – Tom Adams

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

LATE NEWS Rose Parade Float Sculptors Continued from page 1
Midyett. “I hope it’s not a lost art…” he said. “The number of major sponsors has dropped and subsequently there are far less floats than ever. The cost, of course, is a major factor,” Mr, Midyett added. The art of float sculpting in fact has been barely recognized in recent Tournament publications including the pricey 2015 Rose Parade guide. Mr. Midyett pointed out that there was only information about the floral aspects and a lot of information about the TOR President and his family. Widely recognized as a leader in engineering throughout the industry, Fiesta Parade Floats is one of a small handful of professional float builders in the USA which consistently sets a new bar for what is possible with
Rose Parade float technology. And Mr. Midyett is pleased to be affiliated with Fiesta’s computerized hydraulic animation, water irrigation, and special effects that “surpass the standard for engineering in the Rose Parade and throughout the float and prop-building industry,” according to their promotional piece. Fiesta Parade Floats delivers safe and dependable float construction, bringing designs to life in a way that will best support the engineering and floral technology. From concept to structure, the construction process is guided by a team with decades of float building experience like Mr. Midyett. During our visit to Fiesta Floats in Irwindale 2 days before the big day, Beacon Media got a back
stage pass to see the last minute touches that make these floats so magical each year. One of the floats Fiesta has been commissioned for is the AIDS Healthcare Foundation which this year honors the Ebola first responders: doctors, nurses and medical assistants who have worked and are working to contain Ebola. Once thoroughly decorated and inspected, the Fiesta Parade Floats crew embark on the “parade before the parade” when they drive the floats to the parade staging area in Pasadena where they are lined up to present for the public and media. Fiesta provides all of the necessary crew and float supervisors to ensure a safe journey. Float sponsors are given trailers and parking directly on the crowded parade route and can participate in the parade as extensively as is desired. Fiesta also supports the famous “Post Parade”, when the floats are staged for public viewing and additional coverage. For more information see” www.pasadenaroseparade.com and also www. pasadenaindependent. com for a video of Mr. Midyett talking about his career as a float sculptor. Please see page 23 or more Rose float photos
Big Shoes to Fill Volunteers at Fiesta Floats in Irwindale put the finishing touches to some of the 11 floats they built this year including the one from Torrance which honors the late Louis Zamperini. That float honors the famous runner with images and an extremely oversized pair of track shoes affirming that this man’s shoes can never be filled. - Photos by Terry Miller

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: ROBERT J. RODRIGUEZ CASE NO. BP158540
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of ROBERT J. RODRIGUEZ. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by DANIEL RODRIGUEZ in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that DANIEL RODRIGUEZ be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act with limited authority. (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 in this court as follows: 01/20/15 at 8:30AM in Dept. 11 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.

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.

Giamela is seeing three primary misconceptions: 1.“I don’t need to comply until July 1, 2015.” There is no time to waste. California employers must post a new poster and distribute a new Wage Theft Protection Act Notice by January 1, 2015. Failure to do so may subject the employer to unnecessary penalties. 2.“Small businesses aren’t covered by the statute.” This is just wrong. Every California employer is covered by the new statute. Moreover, all employees, regardless if exempt or non-exempt, full-time or part-time are covered by the statute so long as they work 30 days and do not qualify for one of the limited exemptions. 3. “I already have a
sick leave policy so I don’t need to worry about the statute.” Many small businesses already have a PTO or sick leave policy that provides for at least six days annually of PTO, but that is not enough. The law also requires that policies be modified to notify employees that they can take leave for a number of situations. For example, most sick leave policies do not permit an employee to take leave for matters related to being a victim of domestic violence. The new paid sick leave does. Fisher & Phillips LLP is a national law firm committed to providing practical business solutions for employers’ workplace legal problems. Labor and employment law is all the
firm does, offering deep and broad knowledge and experience in the area of the law the attorneys know best. Fisher & Phillips attorneys help clients avoid legal problems, are dedicated to providing exceptional client service, and are there when you need them. The firm has 300 attorneys in 31 offices.

Rose Parade Floats
The art of float sculpting in fact has been barely recognized in recent Tournament publications including the pricey 2015 Rose Parade guide. Mr. Midyett pointed out that there was only information about the floral aspects and a lot of information about the TOR President and his family. Widely recognized as a leader in engineering throughout the industry, Fiesta Parade Floats is one of a small handful of professional float builders in the USA which consistently sets a new bar for what is possible with Rose Parade float technology. - Photos by Terry Miller
