BY TERRY MILLER Gasoline prices in Southern California are at their lowest levels in more than four years. The average price of selfserve regular in Los Angeles County fell to its lowest amount since May 17, 2009. It decreased by 1.2 cents to $2.516 per gallon. The cost at the pumps has dropped for 15 consecutive days, decreasing 16.8 cents, including three-tenths of a cent on Monday. It is 8.8 cents less than one week ago, 27.1 cents lower than one month ago and $1.118 below what it was one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. However, experts predict prices will rise along with California’s temperatures this summer. While long-range gasoline predictions are difficult to make because of unforeseeable events, website GasBuddy.com predicts prices will drift higher in spring when refiners switch

You might have a shift in perspective if someone you didn’t even know donated units of precious blood to help save your life … you might see every day – even hectic Mondays – as a gift.

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com Community Member Flips the Bird to Arcadia Council At last night’s City Council meeting, an ugly event occurred that has sent shock waves through the Highland Oaks community. John Uniack paraded in front of our elected City Council meeting and performed a repulsive move: he flipped off each one of them with his middle finge ... and walked out. This disgusting move not only is appalling for a grown man, his lack of civility is simply unacceptable and he should not only be banned from attending future City Council meetings, he should be thrown out of his job as the purported head of the ARB. With less than a majority of the property owners as members of this Association, clearly, theyand he and his behaviordo not represent the majority of us. On behalf of the majority of us up here: we sincerely apologize to the City Council, the City of Arcadia and the citizens of Arcadia who viewed this unfortunate incident on TV: This is not what we stand for. -Jim McKellar RE: Shakeup at Pasadena City Hall
I would like to remind you news-print folks that a lot of readers do not use computers or gadgets to communicate. Kudos for the investigation into the corruption infecting U.S.
Cities in America. The Riverside City “virus” is common in all cities where the infected “carrier” is hired by an inept local manager/s (Pasadena) and the carrier brings in the unqualified to positions of power and they all proceed to collect high powers and salaries, while the Pasadena taxpayer gets robbed and the hacks in charge pretend it could not be avoided. Pasadena City Manager Michael Beck should be terminated and a loyal veteran Pasadena Employee be hired. I cannot believe that someone in the chain of command in Pasadena cannot be promoted to City Manager! The practice of hiring outside the city chain of command is crazy. This goes from dog catcher to Chief of Police. Elected office excluded. My uncle, Johnny Sotelo, Rest His Soul, was the first Hispanic ever elected to the Riverside City Council and he would always say, “The outsiders are hurting the City of Riverside!” I did not know exactly what he meant – but to see the Inland Empire (I.E.) gang operate in Pasadena is chilling. All cities should hire from the local employee pool and promote only from within. All those “razzle-dazzle” resumes from outsiders … should be sent back to cyberspace, where they originated. $6.4 million taxpayer dollars, does anyone in “charge” give a damn about the taxpayer? Jason Hunter outlined the tricks of the trade these I.E. gangsters created to fool the taxpayer and get
more taxpayer money. Shameful, just shameful. Regards, John Sanchez Rosemead Jan. 25, 2015 Dear Editor: Outstanding investigative reporting. Nick Kipley and the Independent are to be thanked and congratulated. -Kris Ockershauser Readers wants to know how Monrovia Lost a $927,000 Grant
I just read in Letters to the Editor [last week’s edition] about Monrovia losing a $927,000 grant from Metro for the Gold Line Depot. We are talking here about almost 1 million dollars! I do believe that this issue requires more investigation and that Monrovia Weekly should be inquiring further to keep us informed. We must know who is responsible for this loss. We have an upcoming election and the responsible parties’ names must be made public. Thanks, Náyade M. de Cumbe Readers’ Tough Comments on Pasadena City Manager Mr. Beck, your days are numbered and you need to go! You need to think of somebody, anybody other than your selfish self for a minute and quit your position as city manager im-
mediately. You are going to force us as your ignored constituents, to legally remove you from office. The blame for the embezzlement fiasco resides solely with you, Mr. Beck. You fired, for no good reason, many of the city managers and the city auditor who were in place as checks and balances for the city’s services and financial safeguard. And for what reason? Who did you replace them with? Hand picked people from outside the city of Pasadena, brought in by you without ANY scrutiny from city officials or Dept. heads. If I didn’t know any better, I could easily confuse what you’ve done to the city of Pasadena with a mob take over but without the blood shed. You fired good people who were better than you then you forced their silence with a gag order and intimidation of losing their severance pay if they spoke out against being unjustly fired. You’re going Mr. Beck and if you have to be shamed out of office kicking and screaming, so be it. Wake up! out of your complacency City council members and fire Mr. Beck or you’re going too! Marion Fry Via: PasadenaIndependent.com Dear Editor: Excellent, comprehensive, and THE best article I have read in a long time!! Nick Kipley, excellent reporting!! You get 10,000 and more gold stars on this article. And, stating facts and not cow towing down
to governmental PR! When Jason Hunter and Raychele Sterling stood up against what was wrongdoing by our government, they lost their jobs and were shunned! They were protecting our rights and the misuse of our monies! Aurora Chavez Via: PasadenaIndependent.com The Forest and the Trees The Sierra Madre City Council’s form of thinking and actions are such that they apparently are so far into the forest that they cannot see the trees. They are repeatedly set up with stilted information that they receive from the City Manager and her staff, which they seem to believe is the “truth and nothing but the whole truth.” The Council doesn’t really dig to the bottom of each subject that is presented to them and they do not think of how each of these issues affects the individual resident and property owner. In this process, the City Government has repeatedly added more and more regulations, controls and fees upon the people of the City. The Government continues to gain control of the many things that used to be volunteer activities and are now controlled by City Hall. This all follows a basic rule of business, which is the way for an employee to make more money by creating a reason to hire subordinates and then—he or she
Pasadena Sierra Madre Monrovia
becomes a director, which means they make more salary and fringe benefits. The basic payroll of the City employees figures that the cost is over $8 million a year, which does not include their medical or pension costs and other perks that are received. This figure is to be balanced by an approximate $9 million of income into the General Fund. Since all of the income goes into the General Fund and the City spends over $21 million, the first question is where does that income come from? This is just one basic question which the people are not told about even though all income comes from the people. The staff talks about the loss of income from the reductions of the U.U.T, but they say nothing about the income the City receives from the 15% franchise fee on all the utility bills being paid by the taxpayer. These are just a couple of items that are mentioned in this Letter to the Editor. Check the newspaper’s website for previous letters. What will it take for the City Council to wake up to the fact that they are being duped and manipulated? When will the City Council think about protecting the individual taxpayer and reduce the government’s control of our lives? Council, please wake up and stop the City Manager from destroying our lives in the City! -Sierra Madre Watchman

5 Tips for Getting Buy-In
G
etting buy-in from others at work is a critical component to an individual’s success. Not only that, but buy-in across departmental and hierarchical lines benefits the company because it generates collaboration and drives bottom-line results. No matter if you’re a manager or an employee you can use a variety of strategies to facilitate buy-in. Here are just a few. -Tailor Your Message: Think about your audience, the person you intend to influence, and consider what’s important to him or her. Consider their goals, pointof-view and organizational pressures they face. How can your idea help them? What value does your idea offer to them? Put yourself
in their shoes and ask what they’d think about your idea. Be sure your message not only contains why you see your idea as beneficial but also how it brings value to them. -Solution Orientation: Make sure your message is solutions-oriented rather than problem-oriented. People want to know how you can make their life better. Rather than focus on what isn’t working, make sure your message is about changes for the better. -Set the Context: Gather background information that helps contextualize your idea. This might include sales data, menu of products, customer feedback, employee morale or turnover. The point is to identify organizational information that links back
to your idea. Next, consider how your idea fits in with organizational priorities, objectives and strategies. This helps you identify how your idea benefits the company as a whole. -Colleague Feedback: Before taking your idea to the decision makers, it’s useful to run it by a few colleagues. Ask them to critique the idea and your pitch. Not only that, ask if they themselves see the idea as worthwhile. If your colleagues question its worthiness then that’s a sign to go back to the drawing board before going any further. Assuming they like the idea, ask them what else you need to prepare for taking it forward. -Practice, Practice, Practice: Now you’re ready, but there’s one more im-
portant step to take and that’s to practice your message over and over. Taking an idea to a decision maker can be nerve-wracking, so make sure you give yourself the time to practice. This will not only help calm your nerves but will also help bolster your confidence, making you knowledgeable and poised. Using these simple yet powerful strategies to gain buy-in will help bolster the probability of your idea turning into reality.

SUKI is such a beautiful cat! She has the trademark gorgeous Siamese blue eyes, and a unique coat. She is a front declaw, so she would definitely need to be indoors only. Suki is at a great adoptable age, and quite calm. She is healthy, easily held, playful, and can adjust to other cats. She is shy at first, and it may take her a few days to warm up to you, but she is very gentle and loves affection. See more pictures at www. lifelineforpets.org, and her video: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFtb98wQ.

BY EMMY HERNANDEZ Certified Financial Planner® Practitioner, Attorney at Law BY DOROTHY DENNE
How True! I think the following “internet story” should be required reading in every household. I didn’t write it but it is my story too. I suspect, if you are a Dorothy’s Place reader, it is yours also. The author titled it “The Stranger.” “A few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on. As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special niche. My parents were complementary instructors: Mom taught me good from evil, and Dad taught me to obey. But the stranger ... he was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies. If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science, he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future! He took my family to the first major league ball game. He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn’t seem to mind. Sometimes, Mom would get up quietly while the rest of us were shushing each other to listen to what he had to say, and she would go to the kitchen for peace and quiet. (I wonder now if she ever prayed for the stranger to leave.) Dad ruled our house-
hold with certain moral convictions, but the stranger never felt obligated to honor them. Profanity, for example, was not allowed in our home - not from us, our friends or any visitors. Our long-time visitor, however, got away with four-letter words that burned my ears and made my dad squirm and my mother blush. My dad didn’t permit the liberal use of alcohol but the stranger encouraged us to try it on a regular basis. He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly, and pipes distinguished. He talked freely (much too freely) about sex. His comments were sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive, and generally embarrassing. I know that my early concepts about relationships were influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked ... and NEVER asked to leave. More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you could walk in to my parents’ den today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures. His name? ... We just call him ‘TV.’ He has a wife now... we call her ‘Computer.’ Their first child is ‘Cell Phone.’ Second child ‘iPad.’ And they just keep coming. OH MY---HOW TRUE THIS IS!!!”
Emmy, a friend was recently filling me in regarding the Alpha and Beta of her mutual fund. I just smiled sweetly, while trying to remember if that supermarket chain went out of business or not. Can you tell me what she was going on about, please? The Alpha and the Beta are two important investment risk indicators of mutual funds, stocks and/or bonds. These indicators are rather esoteric measurements for a financial product’s risks and rewards. They are significant aspects of modern portfolio theory, although rarely discussed outside the portrait-hung hallways of fancy financial firms. Have I already lost your attention? I hope I’m not beginning to sound too much like your friend. Frankly, it’s difficult not to! I’ll try to define Alpha and Beta without too much jargon: Let’s begin with the Beta. The Beta Coefficient compares the volatility of a specific product - for example Home Depot’s stock - with the volatility of the stock market as a whole. If an investment’s Beta is 1.0, then that investment’s II ii
value fluctuates exactly as the market does. This rarely happens. If an investment’s Beta is greater than one, then it is more volatile than the overall market. If the beta is less than one, then it is less volatile than the market average. Generally, lower price volatility, thus a lower Beta, is a good thing – especially if you prefer stability over the adrenaline rush of speculation. The Alpha first factors in the Beta Coefficient for volatility, then measures the difference between an investment’s actual performance with its predicted performance. If in investment’s Alpha is zero, then everything went exactly as expected. Again, not a very common occurrence. When the Alpha is greater than zero, then that investment performed better than predicted. For example, if a mutual fund has an Alpha of five, then that fund performed five percent better than expected. A negative Alpha indicates that the investment is performing worse than anticipated. So in short, an investment product with a high Alpha and a low Beta offers

higher returns with lower risks. Who wouldn’t want that? Conversely, an investment with a low Alpha and a high Beta is would offer little return with high risk. A statistic best avoided. Additionally, the Alpha may indicate the portion of an investment’s gain, or loss, that can be attributed to the financial manager's skill - rather than the market’s movement on its own.

County “Clerical Errors” Nix Azusa Pet License Renewal Notices BY JOE TAGLIERI
T
he "vast majority" of Azusa's 4,000 registered dog owners have not received annual license renewal notices because of an "IT error" by the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control Department, according to documents and officials at the Azusa City Council meeting on Monday. The aforementioned clerical error turned out to be the Animal Care and
Control IT division's failure to include Azusa's zip code on the list for renewal notice mailings, which are supposed to go out five or six weeks in advance of license expiration. "The Animal Care and Control Department’s IT Division did not supply the Los Angeles County Tax Collector’s Office with the 91702 zip code in order to send out notices that animal licenses were due to expire," according to a city

staff report. "Moreover, because of an additional clerical error, some residents of incorporated Azusa did receive a notice from the County that their animal license was due to expire. This occurred because some incorporated addresses were inadvertently entered as unincorporated addresses." On Jan. 14 Animal Care and Control officers began an animal license canvassing operation in Azusa and issued numerous penalty citations, including one to Council Member Uriel Macias. "I was one of ones that didn't get the notice and had to pay the late fee," he said. "Nevertheless I went ahead and took care of it right away." Macias expressed concern about Animal Care and Control's canvassing and citation procedure. "When they do canvass and leave a notice on your door that they'll be back the next day, typically it says they'll be there between 9 [a.m.] and 1 [p.m.] or something to that effect when people are at work or school," Macias said. "So it really is not helpful for
[Animal Care and Control officers] to come the very next day. ... Wouldn't it be beneficial to possibly give them a little bit, maybe even a week to take care of that as opposed to having to coming back the following day and giving them a citation?" One local resident at the meeting voiced his displeasure about being fined. "I know we went to the contract with the county to save some money, but the service level went way down along with that," Robert Donaldson said. "And as you can see from this report the money you're saving on this is actually coming out of your resident's pockets, having to deal with all the changes and additional fines." County officials were also in attendance and shared their plans to make amends. "We're going to make sure to prevent this from happening again," said Carlos Pineda, Animal Care and Control enforcement services manager. "We apologize for the inconveniences." To rectify the foul-up, Animal Care and Control's
IT division "has provided the Los Angeles County Tax Collector’s Office with the 91702 zip code for the purposes of mailing Animal Care and Control correspondence," according to the city staff report. "Effective immediately, notices will be sent by the ... Tax Collector’s Office, to Azusa residents if their animal licenses have been expired since November of 2014. The notice of expiration will include an additional [10-day] grace period within which to bring the license to a current status." Also effective immediately, Azusa residents who were fined for an expired pet license, will receive a full refund from Animal Care and Control for the $40 field enforcement fee and receive a one-year credit to compensate for being assessed the delinquency charge of $20 for altered or $60 for unaltered dogs, Pineda told Azusa Beacon. "Azusa residents who were contacted during canvassing, and found to have pets that have never been licensed, will receive neither a refund, nor a credit, since they were found to
be in violation of the pet licensing ordinance," states the staff report. It was unclear how the IT error was initially discovered or how many residents received penalty fees during Animal Care and Control's most recent canvassing, though Pineda said he first received word of the zip-code omission on Jan. 28. "During the first canvassing event held in September of 2013, 775 dogs were licensed," according to the city staff report. "One year later, only 172 dog licenses had been renewed. Therefore, in September alone there were approximately 603 dog owners that were out of compliance with the licensing ordinance." Pet care and licensing workshops are scheduled for this summer and fall, officials said. Public notices about the workshops and general reminders about dog licensing will be distributed through utility bill inserts and the utility payment website as well as the message reader board located at Azusa Avenue and First Street.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recycling oil helps sustain nonrenewable resources, conserves energy, and saves money. Recycling just two gallons of used oil can generate enough electricity to run the average household for almost 24 hours. To assist in this effort, LA County Public Works will host a free used motor oil and oil filter recycling event on Saturday, Feb.7
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m, at O’Reilly Auto Parts, located at 722 South Atlantic Blvd., Los Angeles. People who recycle oil filters will receive one new oil filter. In addition, free used oil containers, shop towels, and funnels will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Items for drop-off should be prepared by placing oil filters in sealed plastic bags and storing used
motor oil in leak-proof containers. Used oil should not be mixed with any other liquid, including water. Used motor oil and oil filters also can be recycled for free at a local certified collection center or on weekends at a Countysponsored Household Hazardous Waste/Electronic Waste collection event. A full calendar of collection events and list of collection centers can be found at www.CleanLA.com.

Statewide Early Childhood Educators Convene in La Cañada Child Educational Center Hosts 14th Outdoor Classroom Conference to Expand Awareness of the Benefits of Outdoor Learning for Young Children
More than 300 early child care educators attended the 14th Outdoor Classroom Project® Conference at the Child Educational Center (CEC) on Saturday, Jan. 24th. The conference, titled "The Benefit of Risk and Adventure in the Outdoor Classroom," offered a variety of workshops conducted by 21 presenters that were designed to inform and inspire an outdoor approach to education of infants, toddlers and preschool-aged children. A major focus of the conference was the value and benefit of supporting appropriate risk for young children. Conference attendees were invited to participate in hands-on activities common to innovative outdoor environments that encourage risk and adventure in children. Attendees worked on acquiring enhanced skills for cultivating and sustaining outdoor programs and natural environments at their centers, as well as practical

information on supporting nature-child connections. Workshops focused on the value and benefit of creating reasonable risk in outdoor play -- Teacher Engagement, Learning with Nature, Photography with Young Children, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math)
Outdoors, and Gardening with Children -- among other topics. “The increased energy and number of participants this year illustrates how the outdoor classroom movement has grown over the past ten years,” said Eric Nelson, director of the Outdoor
Classroom Project “All over the country early childhood educators are recognizing the value of getting their programs and the children in their care outdoors. As we speak, a major national research project is being drawn up that will help us understand the benefits of this new direction in early care and education.” The plenary speaker was childcare facilities consultant Gary Andary, who focused on advocacy strategies and resources to help programs understand, implement, and respond to licensing/health and safety laws, regulations, policies and procedures when implementing outdoor classrooms. The Outdoor Classroom Project, an initiative of the Child Educational Center, is dedicated to increasing the quantity, quality, and benefit of outdoor experiences for children in early care and education programs through providing educational and consulting services on the
value and design of engaging outdoor learning environments to teachers, administrators and parents. The Outdoor Classroom model addresses critical issues facing children today such as lack of exercise, preoccupation with electronic media, lack of safe space to play, and isolation and fear of nature. Research shows that regular play in nature has numerous benefits. Children with views of and contact with nature score higher on tests of concentration and self-discipline. When children play in natural environments, their play is more diverse with imaginative and creative play that fosters language and collaborative skills. Exposure to natural environments improves children's cognitive development by improving their awareness, reasoning and observational skills.

A new California Appellate case just published August 8, 2013, “Glaski v. Bank of America”, holds that a homeowner can challenge his lender’s right to foreclose by showing that the Deed of Trust never made it into the securitized trust until after the trust’s closing date. This issue is now squarely before the California Supreme Court in Yvanova v. New Century Mortgage Corp. This is the case in most loans made in the last 12 years. If the bank foreclosed we should be able to get the homeowner money damages and/or the house back. Or a lawsuit could be filed and a court ruling obtained preventing the court from foreclosing. Recently enacted Sections 2924(a)(6) and 2924.19 of California Civil Code provide the same relief to homeowners. It is highly suggested that homeowners take this window of opportunity to get relief before the banks get Congress to close this door with national legislation. Contact us so we can help you.

The Case for “Vape”
L
ast week, California Sen. Mark Leno filed Senate Bill 140. If ratified into law, it would combine the sale and distribution of electronic cigarettes with the pre-existing "California’s Smoke Free Act." According to an official press release from Sen. Leno's office, this law "prohibits smoking at workplaces, schools, daycares, restaurants, bars, hospitals and on public transportation, protecting Californians from secondhand smoke and reducing the acceptability of smoking in general. E-cigarettes, however, do not fall under this existing law and are largely unregulated, despite a restriction on sales to minors." The press release then states that ecigarettes contain harmful chemicals, listing "an ingredient found in antifreeze" as evidence to support this. But are they even remotely as bad as cigarettes? Although many e-cigarette users interviewed by the Independent admitted that e-cigarettes don't have any health benefits, the proponents of e-cigarettes interviewed for this article claim that “vaping” can be a successful tool to quit smoking traditional tobacco. The VapeMastaz store is located at 1446 E. Walnut Street, in Pasadena, in what looks like a small aircraft hangar painted entirely black. Store manager Rick is helping a customer with the purchase of his first e-cigarette —early twenties, a PCC student— who goes by the name of Aaron M. When asked why he is making the purchase, he responds, “My friends and I smoke hookah socially but want to quit it due to the harmful effects of tobacco smoke. I’m trying to get my friends to buy one of these [e-cigarettes], too.” He adds: “Tobacco is unhealthy. I used to smoke cigarettes, but now I wanna quit.” Another customer, Brandon Perez, says that vaping “really works” if you want to get off of nicotine. “I’m at 12mg of nicotine now,” he says, “but I eventually wanna step down.” So the story goes for every person the Independent interviewed in VapeMastaz including its store manager: all used
to smoke—some socially, some upwards of three packs a day. Since switching to e-cigarettes, they have been able to step down gradually from nicotine: 16mg to 12, 12 to 6mg, 6 to 3, and then finally none. A report published last week by the New England Journal of Medicine states that e-cigs can create harmful amounts of formaldehyde when ignited at a high voltage for too long. “That’s because they were using a cotton wick, and leaving the heating element on until it burnt the wicking material,” Rick says. “Nobody vapes like that.” Rick claims that heating the wick for too long and taking a hit is “a lesson you learn not to do” because “it’s uncomfortable.” Rick added that not all of the wicking materials used in e-cigarettes are
even combustible. To demonstrate this, he stretches a length of “Eko-Wool,” wicking material directly in the conical blue flame of his blowtorch. It turns red but doesn’t combust. So why the uproar about e-cigarettes? It could be the kneejerk mechanism of anyone born post-1960 who, upon seeing someone exhale a cloud of secondhand smoke, immediately thinks about cancer. It could also be the fact that the rate at which millennials seem to be able to pick up technology can be a bit scary to some. Plus, the vapor smells like a cross between a patisserie and a cotton candy machine and come in flavors not limited to the breakfast cereal “Crunch Berries.” “Experiencing secondhand smoke that smells like cupcakes from a [new-

fangled] electronic device” has the potential to startle anyone who didn’t come of age when electronic novelties were just beginning to be taken seriously: when He-Man and Transformers and Sega Genesis were as normal as being expected to go to college and “just say no” to drugs. The primary ingredient in e-juice is Proplyne Glycol. Opponents of e-cigs point out that this chemical is commonly found in [biofriendly] marine antifreeze and is used to de-ice jets at the airport. Proponents of e-cigs say, “It’s what they use in fog machines.” The FDA considers Proplyne Glycol to be “generally recognized as safe” and is a common additive used to keep ice creams and frozen foods from freezing solid. Opponents of e-cigs claim that trace amounts
of acetaldehyde, diacetyl, anatabine, acroline and propanol have been found in e-cigarette smoke, some of which are toxic in high amounts, commonly found in chemotherapy drugs, window cleaner, and herbicides used in industrial canals; and known to cause a rare disease known as bronchiolitis obliterans. Proponents of e-cigs emphasize that all of those chemicals are unavoidable in industrialized society. Acetaldehyde is toxic, but it is also what gives you a hangover after your body has processed alcohol. Anatabine is found in all tobacco products but is also used as an aid to quit smoking and us currently being studied as a potential anti-inflammatory for Alzheimer’s. Acroline is used as a window cleaner and as an herbicide but it is also produced when you heat
up cooking oil to its smoke point, or roast coffee beans –in other words – it is commonly found at McDonalds and Starbucks. “Bronchiolitis Obliterans,” known as “Popcorn Worker’s Lung,” comes from inhaling Diacytl, a compound used in artificial butter and found in most mid-range California chardonnays. The big question about e-cigarettes shouldn’t be, “What lengths should science go to in order to prove that e-cigarettes bad for you?” but rather, “Which are the institutions funding these huge anti-e-cig studies?” Because, to quote Thomas Pynchon, “If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers.” One thing is for certain, Big Tobacco isn’t making a cent of VapeMastaz.

Come Take “A Walk in the Woods” at the Sierra Madre Playhouse BY FRAN SYVERSON
T
aking a break from top-level talks about limiting medium-range nukes in Europe, two diplomats venture into the alpine woods outside their Geneva meeting room. One is Russian, a long-timer at this task; the other, an American newbie at the job. Both want a break from the stressful negotiation, yet somehow their talk inevitably veers to the frightening, world-endangering issues at hand. With this opening theme, why are Playhouse theatre-goers bursting into gales of laughter? Aren’t they taking it seriously? Do they think the play is a spoof? No, it’s because playwright Lee Blessing has laced humor and wit into his ‘80s Cold War-era drama, “A Walk in the Woods.” Andrey Botvinnik, brisk but warm, tries to engage his American counterpart, Joan Honeyman, in relaxed conversation and an appreciation of the pleasant
air and the trees. Ahh! The trees! Andrey loves being out under the trees. And such trees! The huge, dramatic tree that dominates the stage, and the surrounding graphics depicting the forest, are credited to Rei Yamamoto. Joan, however, wants to parry ideas, wants to create approaches that could possibly bring the two superpowers closer to agreement at the bargaining table. New at her assignment, Joan is bombastic in expressing her views. A war of words ensues—sometimes confrontational, sometimes conciliatory, often very funny. The pair take four “walks in the woods,” one for every season, as the high-level talks convene quarterly. Autumn leaves flutter down, snow falls, spring flowers blossom…. all symbolic of a sense of ongoingness. Everything changes; nothing changes. Perhaps Andrey is right—leaders talk and talk, but agreement is never reached. Yet Joan can’t
accept that premise—she feels that as long as opponents keep talking, it may keep worse disasters from occurring. John Prosky is a splendid Botvinnik, erect, urbane, wickedly humorous as he pointedly espouses his observation that Russians and Americans are the same—as countries, as people. Both seek power; both distrust the other, he contends. Both suffer the delusion of being peaceloving, while ever gearing up for war. He has been here before and is profoundly cynical about accomplishments. Nancy Youngblut as Joan seems totally beleaguered at Andrey’s cynicism that the talks really never gain their goal. She’s fervently idealistic, believing that perseverance and honest bargaining will yield results. Yet, as opposite as they are, the diplomats, as the seasons progress, begin to portray the longing of people on both sides to make contact with

each other. Why revisit this topic, one may ask. Why not? How different are our global circumstances today? Lee Blessing, long opposed to the arms race, brings us his story because the issues, sadly, are relevant still. And the underlying hope shines through: that people and cultures will find they are more alike than different from each other. Allow time to see a marvelous photo-history of real-life, decades-long
arms talks displayed on the foyer walls. Rachel Fain created the content; Diane Siegel did the images and layout, and Matt Herrmann the installation. It is one of the Playhouse’s new missions of offering exhibits relevant to each show, says Christian Lebano, artistic director. Geoffrey Wade directs “A Walk in the Woods.” Estelle Campbell and Christian Lebano are co-producers. Stage manager is Sarah Poor, with Wysper Erigio assisting. Candice Cain de-
signed the austere costumes befitting the time and place. Lighting design is by Pablo Santiago, and sound by Jeff Gardner. “A Walk in the Woods” truly is a very funny play about a very serious topic. “Walk” has garnered nominations for a Tony Award in 1988 and a Pulitzer Prize. At the Playhouse, it runs weekends through Saturday, Feb. 21. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:30 for Sunday matinees. The popular cast “talk-backs” are held after each matinee.

Nationally Touring Beatles Tribute Band Comes to Tarzana Abbey Road Perform at Paladino’s on Feb. 5 as Part of 110 City Tour Almost everyone knows that The Beatles are one of the most acclaimed bands in rock and roll history because their music has the hypnotic qualities that made teenage girls scream and artists of today and yesterday cite The Beatles as an influence on them. While most of us don’t have the opportunity to see the two surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr, live in concert these days, the closest thing to watching an actual Beatles concert will be on around Feb. 5 at Paladino's Club in Tarzana at 8 p.m. You mean just another tribute band? No, because not all tribute bands are alike. This one portrays the Beatles—John Lennon (Nathaniel Bott), Paul McCartney (Christopher Overall), George Harrison (Jesse Wilder) and Ringo Starr (Axel Clarke)—as authentically as possible, from
"Beatles Chase" shows Chris Paul Overall ("Paul"), Nate Bott ("John"), Axel Clarke ("Ringo") and Jesse Wilder ("George") -Courtesy photo
their singing to the myriad of guitars used throughout the band’s decade-long career. Listening to songs like “Penny Lane” or “I Want To Hold Your Hand” from this tribute band is almost like listening to the original icons themselves. The cast members are age appropriate for the Beatles, between 22 - 32 years of age. With their tight harmonies, flaw-
less note for note renditions of Beatles hits, custom–tailored costumes, vintage instruments, Liverpudlian dialect and precise attention to every detail, Abbey Road has honed their show to become one of the most musically and visually satisfying Beatle tribute acts in the world. The musicians that portray "The Beatles"
connect with the crowd through their lovable sense of humors and cheeky banter. Three costume changes cover the full range of the Beatle experience and beyond, with authentic early black Beatle suits, Sgt. Pepper’s regalia and Abbey Road attire. “The show delivers!” said the L.A. Times. “If you see one tribute show, see this one – smart and loads of fun,” said the O.C. Register. “This is the ticket for you,” said the Idaho Statesman. The band recently concluded a three month run at the Harrah’s Reno showroom. Abbey Road also headlines the Coach House, the Canyon Club, House of Blues, Belly Up, Harrah’s Tahoe, Harrah’s Rincon and Pala Casino. The show in Tarzana is part of a 110 stop tour of the U.S., Australia and Canada. The show has been touring since 2008.

Arcadia Performing Arts Center Presents “The Four Tops” Feb. 21 Arcadia Performing Arts Foundation continues its 2015 Season with The Four Tops on Saturday, Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. The Four Tops is one of soul’s most legendary groups and shaped the Motown sound, as we know it. The Four Tops has had over 15 Top-20 singles in the U.S. including “Baby I Need Your Loving,” “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” ”It’s The Same Old Song,” “Reach Out, I’ll Be There,” and “Ain’t No Woman (Like The One I’ve Got).” Tickets, available online by visiting www.Arcadiapaf. org, are $39.50 to $109.50 with VIP Meet and Greet Packages available. The theatre is at 188 Campus Drive at North Santa Anita Avenue, Arcadia CA 91007. For more information please call (626) 821-1781. The quartet, originally called the Four Aims, made their first single for Chess in 1956, and spent seven years on the road and in nightclubs, singing pop, blues, Broadway, but mostly jazz—four-part harmony jazz. When Motown’s Berry Gordy Jr. found out they had hustled a national “Tonight Show” appearance,
he signed them without an audition to be the marquee act for the company’s Workshop Jazz label. That proved short-lived, and Stubbs’ powerhouse baritone lead and the exquisite harmonies of Fakir, Benson, and Payton started making one smash after another with the writing-producing trio Holland-Dozier-Holland. Their first Motown hit, “Baby I Need Your Loving” in 1964, made them stars and their sixties track record on the label is indispensable to any retrospective of the decade. Their songs, soulful and bittersweet, were across-theboard successes. “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” a No. 1 R&B and Pop smash in 1965, is one of Motown’s longest-running chart toppers; it was quickly followed by a longtime favorite, “It’s The Same Old Song” (No. 2 R&B/No. 5 pop). Their commercial peak was highlighted by a romantic trilogy: the No. 1 “Reach Out I’ll Be There,” “Standing In The Shadows Of Love” (No. 2 R&B/No. 6 pop) and “Bernadette” (No. 3 R&B/No. 4 pop)—an extraordinary run of instant H-D-H classics. Other Tops hits from the decade included “Ask The
The Four Tops
Lonely,” “Shake Me, Wake Me (When It’s Over),” “Something About You,” “You Keep Running Away,” “7-Rooms Of Gloom” and their covers of “Walk Away Renee” and “If I Were A Carpenter.” The group was also extraordinarily popular in the U.K. After H-D-H split from Motown, producer Frank Wilson supervised the R&B Top 10 hits “It’s All In The Game” and “Still Water (Love)” at the start of the seventies. The Tops also teamed with Motown’s top girl group, the Supremes, post-Diana Ross. Billing themselves The Magnificent Seven for a series of albums, they hit with a cover of “River Deep - Mountain High.” When Motown left

Detroit in 1972 to move to Los Angeles, the steadfast Tops decided to stay at home, and with another label. They kept up a string of hits with ABC-Dunhill for the next few years: “Ain’t No Woman (Like The One I’ve Got),” a Top 5 hit; the Top 10 “Keeper Of The Castle”; and the R&B Top 10’s “Are You Man Enough (from the movie Shaft In Africa),” “Sweet Understanding Love,” “One Chain Don’t Make No Prison” (later covered by Santana), “Midnight Flower” and the disco perennial “Catfish.” In 1980 the group moved to Casablanca Records. The following year they were at No. 1 again, with “When She Was My Girl,”
making them one of the few groups to have hits in three consecutive decades. They also scored R&B Top 40s with the ballads “Tonight I’m Gonna Love You All Over” and “I Believe In You And Me,” the original version of the 1996 Whitney Houston smash. And the Tops were heard in the film Grease 2 with “Back To School Again.” By 1983, riding the wave of the company’s 25th anniversary celebration, the Tops were back with Motown and H-D-H. The reunion resulted in the R&B Top 40 hits “I Just Can’t Walk Away” and “Sexy Ways.” They signed with Arista later in the decade, and there they racked up their final solo Top 40 hit, “Indestructible,” which was the theme of the 1988 Summer Olympics. That year they also partnered with Aretha Franklin, a longtime friend from Detroit, for the Top 40 R&B “If Ever A Love There Was.” During this period, Stubbs stepped out and gained notoriety for voicing the man-eating plant Audrey II in the film musical Little Shop Of Horrors, for which he sang the cult classic “Mean Green Mother
From Outer Space.” In 1990, with 24 Top 40 pop hits to their credit, the Four Tops were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Though they would no longer have hits on record, the group continued to be a hit in concert, touring incessantly, a towering testament to the enduring legacy of the Motown Sound they helped shape and define. Following Payton’s death in 1997, the group briefly worked as a trio until Theo Peoples, a former Temptation, was recruited to restore the group to a quartet. When Stubbs subsequently grew ill, Peoples became the lead singer and former Motown artistproducer Ronnie McNeir was enlisted to fill Payton’s spot. In 2005, when Benson died, Payton’s son Roquel replaced him. For Rolling Stone’s 2004 article “The Immortals – The Greatest Artists Of All Time,” Smokey Robinson remembered: “They were the best in my neighborhood in Detroit when I was growing up (and) the Four Tops will always be one of the biggest and the best groups ever. Their music is forever."

or the past 25 years Yoko Ono and Legacy Fine Art and Productions have brought this exhibit across the United States as a way to honor John Lennon’s memory and celebrate his messages of peace and love. Few people know that John did not pick up a guitar for five of the last seven years of his life. During those years he channeled his philosophy through his drawings. They, along with earlier sketches and song lyrics, make up the nearly 100 limited edition lithographs, serigraphs and copper etchings that will be on display. His artwork is both inspirational and generational. John leaves behind a potent message for future generations. These exhibits have not only been a forum to view John as an artist but also as a venue to raise funds and awareness for countless local charities. This exhibit will be benefitting The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. For the past 25 years Yoko has brought this collection around the world

Elementary Students Provide Two Nights of Magic for the Community An Impactful Event has Parents Asking for An Encore
Students enrolled in Bitely Elementary’s Woodcraft Rangers NVISION program gave a magical performance bringing Disney’s “Frozen” to life. They completed the two-day live drama production last week. Parents, school administrators, and the community were raving about the performance. Costumes, script writing, and acting were all youth led and youth inspired. The students practiced routinely after school during the drama club. The event took place to showcase the student’s hard work and creativity. A creative drama set helped give life to the play as the night was capped off by the musical sounds of the students’ voice. Parents took out their cameras as they displayed proud faces while watching their kids perform. Administrators took note of the talent as the students sang and acted the night away. The magical evening ended as the young actors received a huge applause from the crowd. Parents operated as the paparazzi for the performers. Flashes of light from the cameras everywhere had one student from Bitely Elementary saying, “I felt like a movie
star tonight. I think I want to write and direct my own movie in the future so kids can perform it like we did.” This inspired student has gained confidence and now looks forward to a bright future. Woodcraft Rangers CEO Chris Johnson says. “The students themselves make these enactments magical. The power that elementary students have in gathering the community together for two nights is inspiring.” An encore performance is in the works as the most talked about performance in Rosemead is gaining attention. Woodcraft Rangers has served the Los Angeles area for over 93 years. They have impacted over 1.1 million youth and continue to add to their legacy. Through hundreds of clubs offered at over 60 school sites, thousands of students stay engaged through a variety of unique enrichment clubs. For further information contact (213) 249-9293 or woodcraft@woodcraftrangers.org. To learn more about Woodcraft Rangers go to www.woodcraftrangers. org. Woodcraft Rangers is a nonprofit, tax-exempt California corporation under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Battle Lines Drawn As Net Neutrality Vote Draws Near BY COURTNEY ALEXANDER
BY COURTNEY ALEXANDER
Bicos Hospitality Inc. Bicos Hospitality Inc. was founded in 2006 by brothers John and Chris Bicos. The company owns The Original Tops, Mangolia House, and Guru’s BBQ restaurants in Pasadena. Before founding Bicos Hospitality, the two brothers were no strangers to the restaurant business. Both worked in restaurants, including their father’s, for years before starting the company. Their father Steve Bicos started The Original Tops restaurant in 1952. Eventually, the brothers came to run the restaurant. Around the time that John and Chris founded Bicos Hospitality, they purchased and remodeled Gus’s BBQ in South Pasadena. In 2014, the Magnolia Lounge on Lake Avenue became available for purchase, so they bought the property, remodeled and rebranded it, and opened it as their newest concept, the Magnolia House, in October of last year. At Magnolia House, they offer a hospitality-driven experience that makes them unique. They have a personable staff, a small plate menu with inspiration taken from different parts of the world, and a unique selection of delicious craft

Internet service providers (ISPs) such as Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, and Time Warner Cable have been fighting to keep the FCC from implementing laws that would stop their ability to charge fees from high volume data-using companies such as Netflix, Amazon, and Google. In May 2014, Tom Wheeler, FCC Chairman, proposed a set of rules disallowing ISPs from slowing or blocking traffic from content creators and providers, such as Netflix, to their customers, but allowing the creation of “fast lanes” by ISPs, which companies can pay for to increase the speed of content delivery to customers. This created an uproar from consumers, tech companies, and even President Obama who believe that the creation of fast lanes would terminate the open internet. Net neutrality would be destroyed by allowing ISPs to charge higher rates for higher speed internet, instead of distributing those services equally to everyone. This in turn would harm smaller companies without the ability to pay for these faster services because of the difference in content delivery speeds, many believe. ISPs would also make more money by charging high volume data users a premium for faster internet,

and be able to control how much these companies pay. Naturally, Verizon, Comcast, and other internet provider executives are against new legislation regulating their ability to charge whatever fees they see fit. Not all ISP employees seem to agree, however. When asked whether or not the FCC should be able to regulate the fees that internet providers charge to users, one San Gabriel Valley Verizon store manager had the following to say, “I think the FCC should regulate how companies charge for internet use. If it’s not regulated, it could be abused.” Many, including Wired. com, believe that complaints about fast lanes don’t make sense. “Fast lane is how the internet is built today,” says Craig Labovitz, who, as the CEO of DeepField Networks, a company that tracks how companies build internet infrastructure. “The net neutrality debate has got many facets to it, and most of the points of the debate are artificial, distracting, and based on an incorrect mental model on how the internet works,” says Dave Taht, a developer of open-source networking software. Huge companies including Netflix, Google, and Facebook already use what are essentially “fast lanes.” These companies have dedicated content delivery servers inside of their ISPs, also known as “peering connections,” that allow for faster delivery speeds along the “last mile” connections from ISPs to consumers. The debate about fast lanes; however, is really about the backbone of the internet, the shared information super-highway made of long-haul fiber lines, connecting networks and core routers, not peering deals. On Feb. 5, Wheeler will produce a new set
of proposed rules to be voted on Feb. 26. The proposed rules are expected to be a hybrid solution in which the “last mile” of internet connections would be regulated under Title II of the Communications Act, but the internet backbone would remain unregulated. This would require the FCC to reclassify ISPs as “common carriers” under Title II. In January of 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the FCC could regulate internet service providers if they were reclassified, under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934, as “common carriers,” companies that sell their services to all consumers, without discrimination, like utility companies. In a preemptive strike against the upcoming proposal, Republican Senators John Thune and Fred Upton drafted their own proposal, that would block the creation of fast lanes and keep internet providers from being able to block or slow down online traffic, but it would not allow for the FCC to reclassify the internet as a public utility. Both FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and President Obama have both indicated that they are in favor of reclassifying the internet as a public utility. Even if the Thune/Upton bill makes it past the Senate and House, Obama may not sign it. In regards to the Republican bill, Wheeler was seemingly dismissive, saying that the lawmakers, “can write whatever rules they want to write, and we respect that ability of theirs.” “But I think that we’re at a fork in the road,” he added. “It is important to deal with the long-term future of what the relationship of the American people will be with their broadband network that is so essential.”

State Funds Enable Duarte to Continue Gang Prevention Efforts
M
aintaining social services has proved very challenging for cities in Los Angeles County amid a stubborn recession and slow economic recovery nationwide. However, Duarte recently was among 19 recipients out of 45 municipal applicants vying for state grants aimed at reducing gang activity. California Gang Reduction, Intervention and Prevention, or CalGRIP, distributes state funds to municipalities for a wide range of programs that offer young people alternatives to the often violent and socially alienating world of criminal street gangs. Duarte has received CalGRIP funding since 2009 and since then has seen a 49 percent drop in juvenile arrests, according to a posting on the city's website. The city administers its grant funds through the Duarte Prevention, In-
BY JOE TAGLIERI tervention and Reintegration Project, which aims to reduce gang affiliation, related crime and juvenile arrests by 25 percent during the grant's three-year lifespan. Funds awarded in November totaled $325,000, or $975,000 over three years. "All of the dollars that CalGRIP [awards] go to ultimately reach the youth in our community to keep them busy and occupied so that we don't have to get to a point of prevention, intervention and suppression," said Duarte City Manager Darrell George, who called the grant "a tremendous opportunity to supplement city programs and finances" in these cash-strapped times. "It's no secret that local governments have gone through a slew of budget cuts as a result of the depression of the last five or six years, and we were no different," he said. "Some of these programs had to be put on the
back burner." Through the last decade, Duarte has contracted with the Los Angeles County Probation and Sheriff 's departments "to provide specific juvenile crime prevention services to ... Duarte and unincorporated areas," according to an email from Aida Torres, a crime prevention specialist with the city's Public Safety Department, which oversees the CalGRIP grant. The grant covers Duarte's share of the county Gang Alternative and Prevention Program, which places two probation officers and a Sheriff's Department school resource deputy as full time staffers in the Duarte Unified School District, Torres explained. The probation officers "work with the most atrisk youth, help counselors identify high-risk situations and work with entire families [focusing] on early prevention and intervention," said Torres. The school resource
deputy "will support this effort and handle criminal calls at each of the schools as well as foster positive relationships with law enforcement at each campus," Torres said. The deputy also teaches a job skills class for high school students and is involved in after-school programs and other school district activities. "Duarte has a long history of really believing in and putting dollars toward prevention programs," said Assistant City Manager Karen Herrera. "We feel like if you work at it before it gets to become too big of a problem, your chances of success are so much better. ... The proof is in the pudding if you look at our crime statistics." The city manager also pointed to the various prevention-oriented youth programs that CalGRIP funds. "Other than public safety-related programs, these dollars support a bunch of youth outreach programs through our
Parks and Recreation Department," George said. The Duarte Teen Center is a prime example of CalGRIP's taxpayer dollars at work. "The ... Teen Center started program delivery in January [of its] Art Exploration/Dance Program and Duarte Boxing Gym," said Torres. "[Communitybased organization] Southland Sings will deliver services at Pamela Park this summer, Mount Olive High School in the fall and also Quest Academy Special Day School in Monrovia," said Torres. "Santa Anita YMCA and Boys and Girls Club of the Foothills in Monrovia also began programming in January." The YMCA and Boys and Girls Club together serve more than 60 youths starting at as young as nine years old from Duarte, Monrovia and unincorporated areas, Torres added. As an example of CalGRIP after-school efforts, 15 students from Duarte and an additional 10 from
Monrovia and Arcadia take part in the YMCA's Homework Heroes program, said Executive Director Karen MacNair. She identified "at-risk" kids primarily as those who come from "homes where their parents or brothers and sisters are involved in a gang environment." Four YMCA staff members and several volunteer tutors specializing in math and reading assist students with daily homework assignments, MacNair said. The program also offers kids instruction in areas such as how to deal with family and social relationships as well as healthy living through diet and lifestyle choices. "The key is really learning success in their hard work, building their self-esteem, doing all this to help prevent their pull toward the gang environment," said MacNair. "We want to teach kids that they have control of their future and it's not just already laid out for them.�

Even as motor fuels fell under cap and trade’s mandates, gas prices on a statewide basis edged down. The average price recently was $2.65 per gallon, compared with $2.66 per gallon a week earlier based on AAA’s Daily Fuel Gauge Report. The federal Energy Information Administration listed the price at $2.66 per gallon for all areas of the West Coast with reformulated gasoline. That was down from $2.67 last week. Crude oil prices also fell in late January. Brent crude closed at $53.11 per barrel, the lowest price since 2009. That will result in lower gas prices over the next six to eight weeks, said Tim Hess, an EIA analyst quoted in the Science Journal. “The fact that oil prices are so low right now makes all this a much less big deal,” Lucas Davis, an associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, said about cap and trade. “If anything, people are going to be spending less this year on gasoline and diesel.”

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!

At 9:33 a.m., after Officers completed a traffic stop at the corner of Acacia and Valle Vista, Officers noticed an unlocked vehicle left unattended with a cellphone and the keys left on vehicle’s seat. Due to the rise in vehicle burglaries within the area, Officers further investigated the vehicle to verify it was not reported stolen or was in the process of being burglarized prior to the Officer’s arrival. While investigating, Officers discovered a Mexican Passport and the vehicle’s registration but the registration did not match to the identity of the individual on the passport. While searching the vehicle, Officers were approached by a nearby resident claiming he just saw a man in his neighbor’s backyard. When he had asked the man what he was doing, the neighbor stated the man began to run. The neighbor chased the man until the man jumped into the flood control channel. When Officers asked for a description, the neighbor described the man pictured on the passport found in the abandoned vehicle. Officers checked the residence and did not discover any indication that a burglary had occurred. Back at the station Officers contacted the man listed as the vehicle owner on the registration. He stated he sold his vehicle several months prior to the man named on the passport. When Officers contacted the man named on the passport, he informed Officers that he had parked his truck in a residential area and went for a hike with his spouse. Upon returning he realized he truck was missing but did not report it stolen because he had to go to work, showing lack of concern over his missing vehicle. Officers began to process the truck and belongings as evidence. As the vehicle was being prepared to be towed, the vehicle’s registrant owner arrived on scene. The location of the vehicle was never stated to the man, so Officers questioned how he knew the whereabouts of the vehicle. He informed Officers the man named on the passport called him and told him where he had left the vehicle. Officers have since determined the statements given by the man

who claimed to have been hiking while his vehicle was stolen were false. Officers contacted the man and informed him he could pick up his impounded vehicle. The man never arrived to claim the vehicle. This case has been forwarded to the Detectives Bureau. At 12:32 p.m., Sierra Madre Police responded to the 180 Block of N Sunnyside Avenue regarding a burglary report. Upon arrival, Officers were informed by the victim that earlier that day he left for work at around 8 a.m., locking and securing his residence. Upon returning home at around 12 p.m., he noticed one of the two front windows of his home was open. The victim inspected the window and noticed several pry marks near the locking device. He inspected the other window, which was still locked, and noticed similar marks in the same location. The victim inspected his home for any missing property was unable to determine if anything was missing. It is unknown if the suspect(s) gained access to the residence. This case has been forwarded to the Detectives Bureau. At 2:52 p.m., Sierra Madre Police responded to the 500 Block of Acacia Street regarding a possible burglary report. Upon arrival Officers were informed that the night before, the victim had entered his residence through the unlocked side gate and through the sliding glass door. Prior to entering the home, he placed his briefcase, which contained his laptop, on the table out on the patio because his hands were full. The victim stated he left his briefcase outside until the following morning at around 8:30 a.m., when he picked it up and headed to work. Once at work, he realized his laptop was missing. Due to hearing about the incident that had happened earlier on the same street of a man running through a backyard, the victim believed his laptop was stolen. While at the residence, Officers noticed security cameras, but were informed by the victim that they had not been working. This case has been forwarded to the Detectives Bureau.
Jan. 30
At 6:36 p.m., Sierra Madre Police responded to the 200 Block of Grove Avenue regarding a residential burglary report. Officers were informed by the victim that she had left her residence earlier that morning for work, and upon returning she noticed broken glass near her front door. The victim looked into the home through a glass panel near the front door and noticed a closet was open. Knowing she had left with the closet closed, the victim notified Officers before entering the home. Officers cleared the home of any suspects inside. While investigating the home with Officers, the victim discovered several rooms had been ransacked. As of now, the victim stated several rings, necklaces, and about $600 was missing from the residence. The suspect(s) made entry by breaking a glass panel near the front door with an unknown object, and reaching through to unlock the door. This case has been forwarded to the Detectives Bureau.

Active Shooters continue to terrorize and inflict death and destruction to many innocent victims throughout the nation. With our Tradition of Service in mind, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has produced a realistic video presentation on Active Shooters. The primary purpose of the video presentation is to offer preparedness and awareness training to the public at large and hopefully save lives in the event of an Active Shooter incident. This nine minute video presentation, which has been in production for nearly two years, is one of the most ambitious projects the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Video Production Unit (VPU) has ever produced. The video presentation features three vignettes inspired by true life events and introduces the viewer to concepts such as: cover and concealment, location awareness, and self-defense. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, as well as other public safety agencies throughout the nation conducts Active Shooter Training on a constant basis; however, most of these attacks end before

law enforcement officers arrive to stop the threat. As a result of this planning and preparedness, police agencies and community partners have gleaned a recent reduction in violent crimes. Although, Active Shooter incidents continue to happen, these acts of terror and destruction are rare. Unlike other videos that are seen on YouTube and other social media websites, the goal of this LASD video presentation is to illustrate very realistic portrayals of these rare, but violent attacks. LASD’s use of special effects and realistic scenarios draw the viewer’s attention to personally connect with the true life portrayals. The video presentation is available on YouTube or click on the new link on the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department website: www.activeshooter.lasd. org. The web pages will enable visitors to view the video presentation and will also include links to resources outside the LASD website where more information can be found to enhance individual planning and preparation for home, school, or at work.

Nominations forms are available at the Hart Park House Senior Center, online at www.cityofsierramadre.
com or by calling the Senior Services Office at (626) 355-7394. The Senior Community Commission reviews each nomination and will decide the 2015 honoree at their meeting on Mar. 5th. The honoree is recognized at a special reception in their honor on Friday, May 8th at the Sierra Madre Hart Park House Senior Center.

Do You Know Someone Who Really Makes a Difference? Someone Who is Truly Exceptional? An Unsung Hero, if You Will? Do you know of someone in your community, town or city who has a remarkable story? Someone who has made a significant difference in your life or the lives of others in the community? If so, we want to hear about them. We’re looking for stories about everyday people doing wonderful things in this world, not for themselves but for the benefit of mankind. There are a million stories out there and we want to have your nominations, so we may shine a Beacon (if you’ll pardon our pun) on that individual with a feature story in our family of newspapers and companion websites. A couple of years ago we focused on a teenager who started a business collecting fruit from peoples’ trees and donated to fresh food banks. He did it not for cash but because he cared enough to want to ensure that people were eating fresh fruit every day and didn’t want any food wasted. It is truly inspiring to see a high school student devote his weekends to such a project. In the coming months and years we’ll be featuring
people in your city but first we need to know a little about them. In your suggestions, please include the name of the person, age (approx.) and city in which they live and of course a phone number. Tell us why you feel they deserve a special spotlight shined on their life? How long have you known this individual? Any special circumstances we should know about. Suggestions might include: someone who cares for injured/feral animals; a family who fosters children; a doctor who still makes house calls ... we’re open to your suggestions. Nominations will be reviewed monthly by our Editorial Board. Please no phone calls, all submissions MUST be in sent via email. Decisions on who we’ll profile remain entirely at the discretion of the Editorial Board. We appreciate any and all nominations. As the old adage goes “There are a million stories in the Naked City. This is one of them….” Please submit your suggestions to: jschlueter@ beaconmedianews.com.
