No Matter How You Spell It - Sierra Madre’s Wistaria Festival Is This Sunday BY TERRY MILLER This Sunday, the city of Sierra Madre holds its annual Wistaria Festival, during which the public is invited view the massive Wistaria vine that’s grown so big it is in the Guinness Book of World Records. Additionally there will be music and vendors downtown along Sierra Madre Blvd. and Baldwin Ave. on Sunday. But the real star of the show is the vine, which attracts thousands from all over California each spring. The vine started in 1894 and now covers an acre of land in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Wisteria is a famously hardy plant. It originally came from Asia, where it is prized for its beautiful hanging mauve or purple flowers and ability to live for decades. This particular beauty started as a young vine bought and planted by Alice Brugman

Along with John Grunsfeld, Ph. D.; Kent Rominger, and M. Rhea Seddon, M.D.; Lindsey will join astronaut heroes such as Alan Shepard, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Selected as a NASA astronaut in March 1995, and with more than 1,500 hours in space, Lindsey just recently became eligible for the induction. He told us that he knows “all the folks in the hall” and was very “humbled” and “really surprised” by the appointment.

Dear Editor: Thank you, Pasadena Independent, for covering the other side of the union/ no union proposal for Huntington Hospital nurses; to my knowledge your paper is the only one that’s taken the time to attempt to present both sides of this discussion. However, I find it disingenuous that Councilmembers Robinson and Gordo, as well as others, attempted to “soothe the tensions,” because up until now neither Robinson nor Gordo have even bothered to listen to the nurses that didn’t invite or want to join the CNA. I think it’s unfortunate that our councilmembers, especially Robinson, have ignored these nurses in favor of the pro-CNA nurses. I was supportive of Robinson’s run for mayor; however, how can I when it would appear that in this discussion she’s chosen to only listen to one side of the discussion? This doesn’t bode well for a mayor who claims she wishes to represent all Pasadena residents. I guess all residents to her means “some residents.” Robinson, Gordo, Tornek and others think there can be an amicable resolution; this is almost impossible now for two reasons. The first being that they have very openly taken the side of pro-CNA nurses and refused to meet with Huntington nurses that didn’t invite or didn’t feel the need for union representation. And second, the CNA isn’t in the business of being amicable. This union is notorious for its penchant for striking, swarming private citizen homes, and even issuing threats at nurses that oppose their unionization drives. If you don’t believe me, it’s happened to two Cedar-Sinai nurses. This is the same union that accused me of interfering because I chose to help the no-to-CNA nurses, but welcomed with open arms the interference of Robinson, Gordo, church leaders and others. I guess in the CNA dictionary it only counts as interference if you
don’t agree with them. So, thanks again for ensuring that all sides of whether or not the Huntington nurses should form a union had an opportunity to be heard, something Robinson, Gordo, Tornek and other elected officials were either unwilling or unable to do. This RN thanks your paper and reporter for their efforts. Sincerely, -Geneviève M. Clavreul, R.N. Ph.D. PASADENA NURSES NOTICE UNION TIES TO PASADENA OFFICIALS
Dear Editor: I’d like to share my view of the “supposed” nurse press conference recently held at Huntington Hospital on Thursday, Feb. 26. Unfortunately, this press conference was not meant to represent the HMH nurses so much as to offer one more excuse for the CNA to berate Huntington Hospital’s reputation. This time they brought civic leaders under the guise of seeking a fair union election process. Councilman Victor Gordo did an exceptional job of stating he’s an elected official of the city of Pasadena and his only purpose was to seek the cooperation of all involved to have a fair election. I was there and his speech sounded genuine and sincere. It was only when I did further research that I found the following facts on the Pasadena City Council web page. Direct quote from the city web site: “Professionally, Victor served as an attorney for the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA) Local 777 from 2001 through 2007, and was promoted to general counsel in 2008. In 2009, he was elected Local 777’s Secretary/ Treasurer and now serves the organization in both capacities …” Not only is Mr. Gordo strongly affiliated with Union activities but his District 5 doesn’t include Huntington Hospital. Huntington Hospital is in District 6.

Getting My Hour Back Ooooo, I don't like changing to daylight saving time. I have solar eyelids; when the sun comes up, so do they. Besides, I don't like giving up an hour of my life. At my age, I get a little nervous about whether I'll be here to get it back in the fall. One of my “heart sons” Larry tells me that he doesn't like the change but he prefers daylight saving. He says when we are on regular time it's dark when he leaves for work and dark when he returns home. He doesn't recognize his kids except under artificial lighting. He questioned why we have to change things. I said it is because man always has to find ways to mess around with nature. (I was speaking not of man as in man vs. woman, but of man as in mankind.) Other forms of animal life do not read a clock. They do very well by following the signals given by nature. They don't frustrate themselves with hours, minutes and seconds.
I guess modern mankind could not function without clocks. Life is not so simple that we could just get up when it's light and go to bed when it's dark. Unlike cavemen or early agrarian societies, we have to know what time to go to the office or factory, when the movie starts, when the basketball game is over, when to phone our friends and family on the other side of the continent. What is there in our lives today that is not governed by the clock? About the only thing I can think of is dying. We can do that anytime but that's another whole subject. Let's go back to the clocks. The first clocks were marked-off shadows of trees. When the shadow was short, the watchers could tell the time of day was near noon. When the shadows were long on either side, the day was either beginning or ending. Watching the shadows of a tree led to the making of the first sundial. In order to measure time
on cloudy days or during the night, the water clock was developed. This clock was used in China three thousand years ago. It was also known to the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans. There were many forms of the water clock, but all of them worked the same way. Water or some other fluid was made to run from one vessel to another. The amount of water that flowed could be measured to mark the passing of time. In the 1300s a clock was invented which had wheels, a dial and an hour hand. By 1700 a pendulum, a minute hand and a second hand had been added. Then in my lifetime the damnable digital clock, which flashes after every power disruption, became popular. That's not the complete history of clocks but it is possibly more than Larry wants to know. He didn't ask why we have clocks. He asked why we change them. I'll have to answer that another time. Maybe if I get my hour back.
Last week, Dorothy Kelty sent me an email about the potential sale of a piece of city property. I thought the issue important enough to warrant printing the email as a letter to the editor. I asked the opinion of the Managing Editor. He assumed that I had Ms. Kelty’s approval to print the letter. I was asking his opinion. It was a miscommunication of our parts that resulting in the printing of the email as a
letter to the editor without Ms. Kelty’s approval. Both Terry Miller, the editor, and I have apologized personally to Mrs. Kelty. She was gracious enough to forgive us saying that although she had not intended to send a letter to the editor, she was glad the issue was being thoroughly discussed and was “in the open air.” We are very sorry for this misunderstanding and have established a policy
we hope will prevent such a misunderstanding from occurring in the future. - Susan Motander

Record-Breaking Mardi Gras Raises Over $202K for Methodist Hospital’s Rehab Unit Campaign Methodist Hospital’s 20th annual Mardi Gras raised more than $202,000 in support of the hospital’s “Rehabilitation Unit Campaign,” breaking the previous record set last year of $146,000, with proceeds going toward the hospital’s cancer program. Dr. Andrew Lee reigned as Mardi Gras king at the Feb. 17th celebration at Sirona’s, Santa Anita Park and the event had a record number of Mardi Gras Grand Sponsors: Panda Restaurant Group, Inc., Soyfoods of America and Congress Orthopedic Associates. As Mardi Gras King, Dr.
Lee led the traditional parade, marching with Arcadia High School Band members, who played “When the Saints Go Marching In.” On stage, hospital President and CEO Dan Ausman declared Dr. Lee King of Mardi Gras and the band celebrated with the USC Fight Song in honor of the King’s alma mater. This year’s proceeds will support the creation of a new rehabilitation unit in Berger Tower that will include state-of-the-art physical and occupational therapy facilities, a new patient dining room and advanced patient rooms. When completed in 2016, the unit will
Mardi Gras contest costume winners David Chan, Dr. Richard Cole and Jay Harvill
be one of the finest in Los Angeles County. The rehab unit holds special significance for Dr. Lee. Rehabilitation medicine at Methodist Hospital helped his parents and his grandmother to recuperate from various medical conditions. He believes the unit’s enhancement to be the next logical step following creation of the Hollfelder Emergency Care Center in the North Tower and the recent partnership between Methodist Hospital and the Casa Colina Center for Rehabilitation, one of the finest rehabilitation programs in the country.

One hundred Arcadia Chamber of Commerce members were nearly lightheaded Thursday evening Feb. 26th, 2015, not because of the altitude or the free drinks, but by the exciting and “eye-opening” experience of the remodeled Sky Lounge Dave & Buster’s at the Westfield Santa Anita mall in Arcadia, as well as all the amazing raffle prizes handed out at the Business Mix designed as an office product showcase for Chamber member Harris Office Products. More than a dozen winners walked away with prizes that included an HP printer, a Keurig cof-
fee maker and a free Happy Hour VIP party for 20 people at Dave & Buster’s, which also hosted the event last night by providing a large buffet that included chicken and steak on sticks, slider burgers and shrimp, as well as one free drink for every attendee and a free game card for the massive arcade on the main floor of the business directly across from the AMC Santa Anita movie theater. The company also provided a deejay who kept the crowd energized all evening as the sun went down and the dazzling lights and decorative openflame heaters transformed the already-festive atmos-
phere. The open-air lounge at the top of long escalators offers a hip and elegant outdoor setting that overlooks the beautiful art deco grandstands of Santa Anita Park horse race track and the picturesque San Gabriel Mountains. It’s just one of the many elements offered at Dave & Buster’s, which Special Events Manager Taylor Militello said books hundreds of events each year ranging from small parties, seminars and other functions for 20150 people all the way up to turning over the entire venue for major event and corporate party bookings with as many as 2,000 attendees.

Duarte Council Allows Wider Retail Variety at Shopping Center by joe taglieri The Duarte City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved zoning code changes that will allow the Mountain Vista Plaza shopping center to lease space to a wider variety of businesses. In addition to vendors of retail goods and restaurants, the shopping center will again be able to lease space to service providers such as nail salons, barber shops, dry cleaners and banking services. Several businesses that fit these descriptions already occupy space in the plaza, but in 2010 the council approved a change in the zoning code that limited the types of businesses that could operate in the shopping center, according to a city staff report. A major overhaul of Duarte's municipal code included the establishment of the "commercial freeway" zoning district, which includes the Mountain Vista Plaza and more than 50 other properties adjacent to the 210 freeway. "The original purpose of the C-F zone ... is to provide a zoning district for properties along Interstate 210 that are large, auto-oriented, and regional-serving retail commercial developments that benefit from the increased exposure and regional traffic afforded by a freeway adjacent location, and where land uses can be tailored to attract and maintain such regionally orient-
ed uses," the report states. "Mountain Vista Plaza where Target is located has recently had some difficulties in leasing space to certain types of businesses, some of which are not allowed under the [commercial freeway zone] land use designation which they are a part of," Duarte Senior Planner Jason Golding told the council at its previous public meeting Feb. 24, shedding light on the reasoning behind the recent zoning code amendments. "We're pleased with the city council's decision to move forward with amendments that allow more flexibility within the commercial freeway zone," Melanie Traxler, a representative of Mountain Vista Plaza, told Duarte Dispatch. "We think it could have gone a step further, but we're very pleased with the results and we look forward to pursuing new tenants." The owners of the shopping center, which is located on Huntington Drive and Bradbury Avenue, were hoping for easier access to a broader array of potential tenants such as art, yoga, martial arts and dance studios, veterinary services and medical or dental clinics, Traxler said. Businesses in these categories will require a review by city staff and Planning Commission approval of what's called a "conditional
use permit" in order to operate in the commercial freeway zone. "A conditional use permit is unique in that it allows the city an opportunity to review land uses that may be appropriate in a particular zone but which effects on the site and surroundings cannot be determined before a use is proposed for a specific site," Golding explained. "It allows staff to specifically consider the proposed use, and certain types of land uses might require special conditions due to their physical location or because they possess unique characteristics or present special problems that make automatic inclusion as permitted uses either impractical or undesirable due to the potential and unforeseeable impacts to the surrounding shopping center or zone." Traxler countered, "These are uses you typically see in shopping centers, and we felt there was a bit of an inequity between how those are permitted within a general commercial zone versus the commercial freeway zone, which happens to be the zoning for the Mountain Vista Plaza." There are currently seven vacancies in the shopping center's roughly 25 commercial spaces, according to a document included in Golding's staff report.

How to Sell High: Avoid these Three Mistakes When Selling Your Home Alhambra - When you decide to sell your home, setting your optimal asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Price is often the first thing a prospective buyer sees, and many homes are passed over as “not in our price range” before the home even has a chance of being shown. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make an excellent first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds,
and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. Comparing against what other homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part of the process, and by itself is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision. A recently study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need).” This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three
different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to sell fast, and sell for top dollar. To order your FREE Special Report, call toll-free 1-888-3004632 and enter 1016. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It really makes one wonder what Mr. Gordo’s real intentions are! It certainly seems to me that it would be impossible for Mr. Gordo to ensure a fair union election in much the same way as we would never place a fox to guard the henhouse. The second elected official who made a speech was Vice-Mayor Jacque Robinson, who also spoke of wanting a fair election. After a review of the Pasadena City Council web page I also learned the following (direct quote form the city web page): “Jacque has spent the majority of her professional life fighting for working families as a labor community organizer. She has worked on community, issue-based and electoral campaigns with the California Teachers Association, Philadelphia Council AFLCIO, Service Employees International Union, California Federation of Teachers, and the Los Angeles Urban League.” The District she represents is District 1, again not the district Huntington Hospital is in!
The prior work she has performed in support of unions and her not representing Huntington in her district brings serious questions to mind of her motives! I’m proud to have been able to work at bedside at Huntington Memorial Hospital for almost 40 years, side by side, with nurses and other healthcare professionals. It’s extremely unfortunate that we are now faced with a very small percentage of disgruntled employees that are fueled by an apparently unscrupulous and dishonest union seeking to make millions off the backs of honest hardworking individuals. I’m proud of my fellow employees who had the courage to speak out against the lies being read and spoken regarding Huntington Hospital. It took real courage and passion to voice their opinions regarding the wrongs being put out there by union organizers & representatives. Since it appears that we have the tail wagging the dog right now, I encourage all Huntington employees to carefully consider the facts and vote their conscience
when the time comes. Remember, we all need to work together no matter what happens after the election, so let’s stop the lies and focus on facts. Thank you, -Kevin Durston, Respiratory Therapist PASADENA Dear Editor: Just wanted to thank you for a factual account of the rally/press conference held by the CNA at Huntington Hospital last week. It’s good to see media that isn’t biased towards the Union’s efforts! P. S. Thanks posting my letter. Sincerely, -Kevin Durston PASADENA
Dear Editor: I always look forward to reading the letters column each week to find out what public opinion is. Sometimes I am utterly mystified by the lack of knowledge some people have on the subject they are writing about. Such as the case in the March 5th (Monrovia Weekly) paper about Madison Ave. access to the Wilderness Preserve
Property. I along with several other Monrovians spent 10 years developing a Hillside plan. This plan was presented to and approved by the City Council. The plan always provided public access. This public access was to be by the way of trails to be built adjoining existing and proposed roadways. In the case of the Pokrajak property the access was to be the Highland Ave. extension. Never was there any talk or plan to use the end of Madison Ave. for access. The reason for this was this property was privately owned. I am dumbfounded to read about the idea of talking with the previous owner, who has been deceased for several years, even more astounding is the statement that Steve Pokrajak wants to develop property that he hasn’t owned for several years. Unfortunately, to some people, the nonsense never stops …. -Glen Owens MONROVIA HOW ABSURD THINGS GET?
CAN
As one watches and listens to the things that take place at the Sierra Madre
City Council, and Planning Commission, only one conclusion has to be made - “How absurd can things get?” The people that speak and the government officials have only one thing in mind and that is to put up as many restrictions and costs they can put on the property owner in the City. The talk about not counting portions of a lot that is on a slope. If this were to be the case, there are 50% or more of the homes in the Canyon Area that would have to be torn down. They talk about reducing the percentage of area of a lot in an effort to control and restrict the size of the home that can be built. They also do this to restrict the building of a second story to a home. Question - “Do they want to do this?” They already have a volume of regulations that are preexisting and is of such a size that it takes weeks to read and digest and we certainly do not need to add anything else. If they want to compare what other cities have done, then they would find that
the average size of a City lot is 50 x 100 feet or 5,000 sq. ft. and more than 50% lot coverage is allowed. This is the only City that requires a Conditional Use Permit. Why, oh why do we have or need all these restrictions to the use of property? If a lot is more than 5,000 sq. ft, then make the zoning R-2 or R-3, which would allow more homes on larger lots and would eliminate the necessity of lot splits. People came to live in Sierra Madre because it had the freedom from big government and the local government was always helpful and didn’t charge a fee on everything that they touched. What has happened to that spirit? Why doesn’t the Government restrict themselves? The way things are going, it is going from bad to worse. Are they trying to kill this town by making things impossible to live with? How soon will it be when a person has to raise their hand for permission to go to the bathroom? Last one out of town, turn off the lights! -Sierra Madre Watchman SIERRA MADRE

the power lines. The victim had left her residential front door closed, but unlocked, while she went into the backyard with the first male. After a short period, the first male got into his truck and drove away. The victim then realized that someone, most likely the two males in the pickup truck, entered her residence while she was distracted and stole valuables from the location. This type of “Distraction Burglary” often occurs with the suspects claiming to be city employees, utility workers, or construction contractors seeking work.

Musical “Einstein Is a Dummy” Onstage at Sierra Madre Playhouse By Fran Syverson You thought Einstein was a nerd? Well, yes, he was— about energy and mass and the speed of light. The other kids figured him for a nerd. But ask teenage Einstein himself, and he felt he really was a dummy—about friends and girls (especially Elsa) and musical competitions. So the “dummy” Albert Einstein is the one we meet in a lively, engaging musical at the Sierra Madre Playhouse. It’s one of the biggest days of his young life. We find him nervously practicing his violin for tonight’s competition, wanting everything to be flawless, and especially to please his overbearing music teacher, Professor Schloppnoppdinkerdonn. In the show, there is an on-going inner tussle between Albert’s “dummy” and Albert’s “nerd.” His mind races off into concepts like entropy or gravity. Then he struggles to come back to earth—so to speak—saying, “I’m just trying to be normal.” Normal! With smug, narcissistic Constantin, the bullying, belittling classmate who seems to do everything perfectly? Normal! With Albert’s crush on Elsa,
who seems not to know he exists? Yet with all else in his universe seemingly awry, he does have one faithful friend: Cat. Yes, a mysterious, humansized Cat who interacts with the humans. The characters are all overdrawn—caricatures, really, and they entice us to enjoy the playfulness they offer. Lots of energetic music has given Zakiya Alta Lee an opportunity to choreograph exciting dancing and acrobatics. Two of Deborah Wicks La Puma’s original songs are appropriately Einsteinianly thematic: “Particles” and “Molecular.” The story, a fictional day in Albert’s life, was written by Karen Zacarias. It takes place in an other-worldly setting— or is it other-universe setting? A huge soft-blue arc stretches across the Playhouse stage, floor to ceiling, evoking images of our globe itself. Credit Sarah Kainin’s imagination for the set design. Complementing it are video projections of the famous E=mc2 equation and other mathematical formulae rotating on the arc. Planets and stars whirl on the backdrop in a virtual light show. Sean T. Cawelti designed
this innovative approach, a first-time technique at the Sierra Madre Playhouse. It is an integral feature of the musical, along with the accompanying lighting by Phillip Powers, and sound by Jeff Gardner. Vicki Conrad designed the wild, geeky costumes befitting the teenagers’ time and place. Even Cat’s colorful leotards suggest stars and planets in a whirling universe. In an ongoing outreach to young audiences, busloads of school kids will attend “Einstein” matinees on weekday field trips. Those performances aren’t open to the public. Families will enjoy other shows. But catch them while you can—the run is limited to Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. on March 22 and 29, and April 5 and 12. (Dark March 15.) “Einstein” is double-cast. Not to worry—I’ve seen both casts, and they are excellent. Actors are Thomas Anawalt, Andrea Arvanigian, Jonathan Brett, Tara Bopp, Alex Denney, Tyler Fromson, Molly Gilman, Katie Hotchkiss, Conor Lane and Matt Severyn (listed alphabetically.) Exhibits on the foyer walls display fascinating—
- Courtesy Photo
and sometimes surprising— trivia about the real Albert Einstein. Be sure to check out the actors’ photos, too, juxtaposing current headshots with those of their own adolescence. Rachel Fain created the display content; Diane Siegel did the images and layout, and Matt Herrmann the installation. Derek Manson, who originated the Einstein role in the
show’s 2005 premiere, directs “Einstein is a Dummy.” Estelle Campbell, Christian Lebano, and Amanda Weier are coproducers. Stage manager is Kelsey O’Keefe, with Emily Hopfauf assisting. Less than 90 minutes long, “Einstein is a Dummy” has energy and tunes to hold youngsters’ attention. Admission is $25 general, $22 for seniors (65+), $15 for youth
(13-21) and $12 for children 12 and under. The Playhouse is at 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre. Eateries and free parking are nearby.

Pygmalion at The Pasadena Playhouse
Pygmalion remains George Bernard Shaw's most popular play, which is most widely known for being the inspiration behind the highly romanticized Broadway musical and film My Fair Lady. In this delicious and gritty interpretation of Pygmalion, directed by Jessica Kubzansky, phonetics professor Henry Higgins bets that after he finishes transforming Cockney flower girl Eliza
Doolittle, her flawless speech and delicate facade will allow her to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party. Centering on language as a defining characteristic, social satire about class barriers and the stifling of female independence, Pygmalion manages to be both playful and heartbreaking with a narrative whose relevance to our world today is as profound as ever. Runs March 17-April 12.
This year’s Paseo Spring Arts Fest is now coinciding with the Pasadena Convention Center and Civic Center events located adjacent to our art show at the beautiful Garfield Promenade at Paseo Colorado, 280 E.

Figaro: An Old Tale for Today’s Common Man Coleman Chamber By Nathaniel Cayanan Concerts cal bits in the tradition of Abbot and Costello or the Marx Brothers that feel tired and may fall flat on the audience’s ears. However, it redeems itself tenfold with a cast that brings enthusiasm and energy to characters who are quirky, fun and can be empathized with, such as Countess Almaviva, played masterfully by Elyse Mirto, who bemoans that the count, charmingly played by Andrew Ross Wynn, has lost interest in her after several years of marriage. Perhaps the most intriguing of all the performances is that of Figaro himself, played by Jeremy Guskin. In his lively debut for the theatre company, Guskin exhumes a cartoonish aura that, in the wrong hands, can very easily overwhelm the audience, yet Guskin finds a good sense of equilibrium; balancing his character’s wit and his relatability, especially with his monumental speech in the fifth act in which he philosophizes about the selfishness of a powerful ruling class and laments that he, despite being clever, smart and loyal to the count, can never seem to earn half as much as those of great privilege. Admittedly, some may find some of the creative choices a little off-putting, such as sunglasses and shoes that suspiciously look like Converses

which feel distractingly anachronistic—even if intentional—as well as some character quirks, such as a man with a Jamaican accent and a stuttering judge who overextends his gag. Nevertheless, the play is fun, at times extremely profound, and overall an exhibition of great acting talent. Figaro will play to May 10th at A Noise Within Theatre, located at 3352 E Foothill Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91107. Tickets available at the box office, on the web at aNoise-
Within.org, or by calling (626) 356-3100. Dates and times: March 14 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., April 4 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., April 5 at 4 p.m., April 9 at 7:30 p.m., April 10 at 8 p.m., April 19 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., April 30 at 7:30 p.m., May 1 at 8 p.m., and closing night May 10 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The Coleman Chamber Concerts were started in 1904 by Alice Coleman, a gifted pianist living in Pasadena. Local chamber musicians performed early concerts in private homes. The Coleman Concerts moved to the Pasadena Playhouse in 1927, and began to feature ensembles from throughout the United States and Europe. The Sunday afternoon six-concert series has been in Beckman Auditorium on the campus of the California Institute of Technology since 1965, presenting the finest chamber ensembles, with varying instrumentation and programs which balance classic and contemporary repertoire. All concerts are on Sunday afternoons at 3:30 p.m.

“Two Professors, a Physics Genius, and a Stripper Walk Into a Play... What Could Go Wrong?” by jennifer schlueter Two worlds clash when Albert Barry (Zac Lape), a 21-year-old genius and physics award winner, brings home his stripper-girlfriend Angel (Rivka Rivera) fromVegas, where he attended a conference. Albert’s mother Elizabeth (Kathy Bell Denton) is shocked when he decides to delay his professorial position at Harvard for a road trip with his new flame. However, instead of taking off, the couple (along with Albert’s parents) finds themselves in a hostage drama which will change the family’s life.

Throughout time, there have been works of art that somehow find relevance centuries after their conception. One need only look to Victor Hugo or Shakespeare, whose works are consistently translated for generations of audiences, to make us wonder whether they looked into some sort of crystal ball as they sat at their desks writing their timeless tales. With today’s social concerns about class warfare and the diminishing middle class, the same timelessness can be found in “Figaro,” the new production at Pasadena’s A Noise Within Theatre. Loosely translated from Pierre Beaumarchais’ 1778 French stage play “Le Mariage de Figaro,” the Charles Morey adaptation follows Figaro, a valet to Count Almaviva who intends to abuse his power to bed Figaro’s fiancé, Suzanne, on the eve of their wedding. As the 1778 version did at the dawn of the French Revolution, Morey’s adaptation comments on contemporary social troubles such as class and privilege and even feminist issues, all while utilizing humor. Morey describes it as a “meta-theatrical approach,” with self-referential one-liners, to make it accessible to today’s audience. Very few times throughout, the play delves into comi-

and numerous other Hollywood shows, has crafted an unpredictable dark comedy. All scenes could happen in our daily lives. If they did, hopefully they would be as funny as in the play, which includes jokes for the booksmart as well as the reality show audience. Lape convinces as the innocent, genius son, charismatically but determinedly rebelling against his mother. Dan Woren plays Albert’s father David, who acts as the understanding, accommodating husband -- the opposite of Denton- portraying the authoritarian character of Albert’s mother who tries but fails to control everyone’s lives.

with revealing outfits and persuades with a loud but hilarious mouth, which cannot even be stopped when her not-too-frightening but convincing troublemaker fiancé Ray (Jared Martzell) appears at the Barry’s home. Though his short performance, John Del Regno as “the Fixer” captures us with his wittiness and nonchalance. If you enjoy dark humor, books, and (secretly) some reality TV, don’t miss this play with constant turns and laughter. Smart People runs Saturdays through April 11.

Art Matters in Monrovia Schools When schools face budget restrictions, often the first items on the chopping block are what many people consider the “nonessentials.” Quite often, these are subjects such as art and music. Fortunately, for the schools in the Monrovia Unified School District, the Boone Foundation is providing funding for a very important art program, a mural project, returning balance and beauty to the schools. Now in its second year, the mural project is being undertaken at all five Monrovia elementary schools. Under the direction of the district’s resident artist, Shannon Fitzpatrick, students are painting murals at their own schools, Dr. Katherine Thorossian, the superintendent, praised the program saying “The world as seen through the eyes of an artist provides deeper insights and allows those who are exposed to great art a rare opportunity. Shannon Fitzpatrick has created such opportunities for our students.” Fitzpatrick has
written several books about art, its role in history and in education. She has helped to create more than 75 murals in schools throughout the area. Her role is pivotal to the project according to both Thorossian and Patrick Garcia, the Director of Performing Arts for the Monrovia schools. “We are working to create a balance for our students,” said Garcia. “As Dr. Thorossian says, we work to balance the three A’s: Academics, Art and Athletics.” Starting this week and running through mid-April, each elementary school will undertake the painting of a mural somewhere on an exterior wall. According to Garcia, the murals this year will be painted on walls visible to the community in general. “Last year our murals were painted on interior walls at the schools,” Garcia said. “This year we wanted to share our art with the community.” The first mural is being painted this week at Monroe
Elementary, a fitting start as it was the community’s first school as well. In honor of the school’s dual emersion educational program with Spanish, the students are recreating one of Diego Rivera’s most famous murals, La Pinata. Last week, student leaders drew the outline of the work as it was projected onto a wall facing Colorado Boulevard. Next week work will begin on Gainsborough’s Blue Boy at Wildrose Elementary. Following in rapid succession will be a Chinese Dragon Robe at Plymouth, The Long Leg by Edward Hopper at Mayflower and Seurat’s The Circus at Bradoaks. These murals will join those done last year. When all five of this year’s murals are completed, the schools are planning an art walk of all ten murals. Information regarding the walk will be made available as soon as plans are completed. And according to Garcia, the public will be more than welcome to attend.

Civil War Soldiers’ Quilts Quilter and author Don Beld will present an illustrated lecture on Civil War Soldiers’ Quilts on Thursday, March 19, 6:30 p.m. at Pasadena Museum of History. His presentation will feature slides of the historic quilts as well as reproduction quilts he has made. Beld will also bring actual Civil War-era quilts, discuss the materials used, and explain how midnineteenth century quilts differ from those of today. During the Civil War, a volunteer organization called the U.S. Sanitary Commission was formed for the purpose of raising supplies and funds for the Northern troops and of overseeing the sanitary conditions in military hospitals. A general call went out in 1861
for the donation of supplies, including quilts and coverlets, for the soldiers’ use. During the years of the Civil War, Northern women
made and donated between 250,000 and 400,000 quilts. Today there are only eight known surviving of these particular quilts – and they are national treasures. They
represent the beginning of our nation’s women’s movements and constitute the largest sustained philanthropic movement in the history of mankind: the community service quilts of American quilt makers. Don Beld hand-pieces and hand-quilts 19th century reproduction quilts and is one of the nation’s experts on the Civil War Union Soldiers’ quilts. Beld also has a large collection of antique and vintage quilts with patterns named for famous Americans, which he shares with the public through lectures and trunk shows. Pasadena Museum of History is located at 470 W. Walnut St., Pasadena 91103.

The organization is asking community members to drop off art supplies during these hours to Hillsides main campus located at 940 Avenue 64, Pasadena, CA 91105. Volunteers will be on hand to collect the supplies. Or, if people cannot drop off supplies on March 14, they can deliver them to Hillsides administrative office any time Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. The supplies needed include canvases (various sizes), paint brushes, acrylic paints, sketchbooks, color sharpies, “perler” beads, artist’s pencils, easels, Play-Doh, different colored Sculpey modeling clay, jewelry-making kits, stickers, gel pens, chalk pastels, stencils, and tissue paper. The art supplies will be used by the children who live at Hillsides residen-
tial treatment program. The Trojan Affiliates will also make canvas art with the children from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. and offer the children refreshments. The event, “Let’s Get Crafty with Hillsides,” is part of USC’s fourth annual Alumni Day of SCervice, an international effort that gives the University’s alumni and friends opportunities to participate in local service projects within their respective communities. This is the second year in a row that the Trojan Affiliates have decided to give back to Hillsides. “We are very thankful for the Trojan Affiliates for once again selecting Hillsides as its Day of SCervice volunteer project,” said Hillsides Chief Executive Officer Joseph M. Costa. “Art is a powerful emotional release for the children who live at Hillsides, most of whom have experienced severe trauma. Through creative projects, children learn to express themselves and gain a sense of self-confidence and accomplishment.” The Trojan Affiliates is a women’s alumni organization
based in the San Gabriel Valley dedicated to developing fundraising projects to provide scholarships for deserving USC students and contributing to the advancement of education. For more information about the event, please contact Laura Kelso, Hillsides director of community resources, at lkelso@hillsides.org or 323-254-2274, ext. 1251. Hillsides provides high quality care, advocacy, and innovative services that promote safe, permanent environments where young people can thrive. Headquartered in Pasadena, Hillsides serves children, youth, and families throughout Los Angeles County, including Baldwin Park, Echo Park, Pomona, Pasadena, and South Pasadena. The Residential Treatment Services program provides a safe and stable environment for children and youth who cannot live at home, have suffered trauma, or face emotional or behavioral challenges.

Are you taking that special person out on a first date? Is your anniversary coming up? Does your family need a night out without the stresses of preparing a meal at home? Whatever the circumstance, ARO is the next restaurant that you want to check out! Nestled in the bustling downtown area of South Pasadena on Mission Street, ARO is one of the more recent additions to an area filled with family-friendly restaurants and fare. Don’t live in South Pasadena? No problem. Take the Metro. ARO is just a few short steps away from the Mission-South Pasadena station, making it one of the most convenient options for a night out with friends or family. ARO was created by Karan Raina, who also brought the South Pasadena area the Indian restaurant Radhika and the wine lounge the Radha Room. ARO is owned and operated by Karan’s family, including his son, Kiran, who was working on the restaurant floor the evening that I visited. Both Kiran and his father filled me in on the details that inspired the restaurant and its menu. As Kiran pointed out, ARO has barely been open for one year. Yet, as I discovered on Saturday night around 7 p.m., both the South Pasadena locals as well as San Gabriel Valley crowd have already made this restaurant a popular dining spot! The dining room floor was packed with couples young and old as well as par-
ents sitting around the table with their children. ARO also has a full service bar complete with a mounted television just in case you want to simply stick to one of their delectable appetizers or order one of their signature cocktails. Karan informed me that the inspiration for ARO’s food is a mixture of Latin cuisine that ranges from Oaxacaninfluenced to Peruvian-style dishes. All of the flavors and plates are developed by the brilliant mind of Chef Rocio Camacho. Camacho, an Oaxacan native, clearly stays away from the “typical” Mexican cuisine expected in most establishments. And Karan, a selfproclaimed “foodie,” believes that Peruvian food is one of the most delicious styles in the world today. This unique combination makes for a distinctive dining experience, unlike one you would find most anywhere else in the San Gabriel Valley. Moreover, what you try at the restaurant one season may be totally different than the next, because ARO boasts a seasonal menu based on the freshest foods available at that particular time. On Saturday night, I had the pleasure to try one of ARO’s signature sides, entrées, and desserts. The side was their Coliflor, or the basil-mintpesto cauliflower. Light green in its hue because of the pesto sauce, this presentation of cauliflower provides a unique take on an ordinary vegetable side. For an entrée, I tried one of the dishes that Chef Cama-
cho is best noted for, her mole. The Mole Poblano Con Pollo is simply a chicken breast with mole poblano. Expecting a spicy sauce lathered over the chicken, I was pleasantly surprised when the plate was rather mild. Best of all, the large portion of chicken fell right off the bone, tender to the touch. Plated with a side of white rice, asparagus, and flour tortillas, (needless to say) I had plenty a food to fill a togo bag. However, the best part was the postre, or dessert, which the waiter referred to as “flan-tastico.” It was a modern, yet simple transformation of a traditional flan that included a layer of chocolate cake that served as a base with a mint leaf delicately added to the top. This exquisite dessert would be perfectly combined with a coffee or hot chocolate as it melts cool in your mouth in a sweet, harmonious blend. ARO is a family venture and it is geared to accommodate anyone willing to open their palate outside the bounds of traditional Mexican food. The restaurant markets a happy hour, brunch, and an impressive collection of tequilas. Perhaps a hidden gem along Mission Street, it would bequeath you to try out their Latin flavor for at least one evening out. More information on ARO can be found on their website: www.arolatin.com Do you want Ea to review your restaurant? Contact her at events@beaconmedianews. com

Wistaria Is a Famously Hardy Plant Hailing From Asia
Continued from page 1
in 1894, says Phyllis Chapman, a well-respected Sierra Madre expert on the history of the foothill community. The Sierra Madre plant thrived and eventually destroyed the original twostory home on the lot after it was abandoned. It apparently grew into the walls, and caused the roof to collapse.
By the way, the plant is commonly spelled “wisteria,” but the town of Sierra Madre prefers to spell it “Wistaria,” a name referring to the American physician Dr. Caspar Wistar. The spelling is a matter of some debate among plant enthusiasts. These days, Sierra Madre’s plant grows on trel-
lises that span two backyards. One of those homes is owned by Nell Solt, a Swedish native, who each year allows thousands of visitors to stroll her lovely backyard to see this Wistaria Wonder. The Festival runs all day Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For further information contact The Chamber of Commerce at (626) 355-5111. - Photo by Terry Miller

ICE Arrests More Than 2,000 in Nationwide Operation Los Angeles Area Leads Nation With More Than 200 Arrests A known gang member with a prior robbery conviction was among the 218 foreign nationals arrested in the Los Angeles area by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as part of a five-day operation targeting at-large criminal aliens and public safety threats. Nationwide the enforcement action, dubbed Operation Cross Check, resulted in a total of 2,059 persons being taken into custody, with the Southland accounting for the largest number of arrests by any local jurisdiction. Hundreds of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers across the country participated in the operation, which commenced Sunday, March 1 and concluded late March 5. Those arrested are from 94 countries and more than half have felony convictions, including voluntary manslaughter, child pornography, robbery, kidnapping and rape. “This nationwide operation led to the apprehension of more than 2,000 convicted criminal aliens who pose the greatest risk to our public safety,” said Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. “Today, com-
munities around the country are safer because of the great work of the men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” The Los Angeles-area arrests occurred in six counties – Los Angeles (101); Orange (51); San Bernardino (24); Riverside (22); Ventura (16); and Santa Barbara (4). Nearly two-thirds of the foreign nationals taken into custody locally had prior convictions for serious or violent crimes, such as child molestation, grand theft and firearms violations. Fourteen of those arrested had ties to street gangs. While the vast majority of the criminal aliens arrested in the Southland were originally from Mexico (167), a total of 18 countries are represented, including Peru, Egypt, Armenia and South
Korea. “This national operation exemplifies ICE’s ongoing commitment to prioritizing convicted criminals and
one.” Those arrested last week by ICE’s Fugitive Operations Teams in the Southland include a Mexican national
public safety threats for apprehension and removal,” said ICE Director Sarah R. Saldaña. “By taking these individuals off our streets and removing them from the country, we are making our communities safer for every-
Sureño gang member taken into custody March 3 near his home in Pomona. Databases indicate the 26-year-old man, who has been deported multiple times, has a criminal history dating back eight years, including prior convic-
tions for robbery, willful discharge of a firearm, and false impersonation. The man is now facing prosecution by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for felony re-entry after deportation, a violation which carries a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison. Also taken into custody locally during Operation Cross Check was a Mexican national male whose case history includes six prior deportations and criminal convictions over the course of three decades for drug offenses, evading a peace officer, carrying a loaded firearm in a public place, grand theft, and DUI. After recently serving an 18-month federal sentence for felony re-entry after deportation, the 51-year-old man was transferred to the custody of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office based on an
outstanding local arrest warrant. Despite the existence of an ICE detainer, the Sheriff’s Department released the man onto the street. He was rearrested by ICE Fugitive Operations officers March 4 at his Oxnard residence. He is currently in ICE custody awaiting removal to Mexico. This week’s enforcement action was spearheaded by ICE’s National Fugitive Operations Program, which is locates, arrests and removes at-large criminals. The officers who conducted this operation received substantial assistance from ICE’s Fugitive Operations Support Center and ICE’s Law Enforcement Support Center, both located in Williston, Vermont. In fiscal year 2014, ERO removed 315,943 individuals from the United States. In addition to convicted criminals, the agency’s enforcement priorities include those apprehended while attempting to unlawfully enter the United States, illegal re-entrants — individuals who returned to the United States after being previously removed by ICE — and immigration fugitives. In fiscal year 2014, 98 percent of ICE removals met these priorities.

Temple City Astronaut Honored Continued from page 1
As a child, Steven followed the Apollo program, witnessing Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. Back then, he thought it would be cool to be an astronaut, but he didn’t purposely pursue his dream. However, he always knew that he wanted to fly and joined the Air Force Academy, from whose Institute of Technology he received his Master of Science degree. Combining his science education and his passion for flying, Lindsey became an external test pilot. Later on, he found himself qualified for a NASA program, applied, and was selected. At NASA for more than 15 years, Lindsey has been part of four space flights, one of them alongside John Glenn, America’s first man in space. Lindsey counts seeing the earth from space as his most cherished memory and wishes everyone could experience it. In his perfect world, he would walk into a room where astronauts are nothing special, because everyone had been to space. Therefore, he also applauds Virgin companies (headed by Richard Branson) for their efforts in space tourism, and hopes they will be
successful. To push the boundaries of exploring our universe and to improve space technology, Lindsey now works as the Co-Program Manager of the Dream Chaser project (a crewed spacecraft) for the Sierra Nevada Corporation. The astronaut also visits schools across the country talking to kids about his career. He hopes that his words will have an impact on kids. His message to them: “I grew up just like you, with the same background. There’s nothing special about me.” Everyone can become an astronaut if they are not afraid to try, have the passion for it, and work hard, he adds. While Lindsey moved to Texas, his mother and sister still reside in the San Gabriel Valley. Whenever he returns to Temple City, he likes to eat at Casa Del Rey, North Woods Inn, and The Hat. He also speaks at schools and once participated as Grand Marshall at the city’s parade. On May 30, Lindsey’s wife and children, along with other guests, will witness his and the other astronaut’s induction to the US Astronaut Hall of Fame in Florida.
San Gabriel City officials will review the draft environmental impact report for the SR-710 Study, released Friday by Caltrans and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). The draft environmental document examines five possible alternatives for the project, which could impact the city of San Gabriel. The city will study the report and staff plans to present information on its contents to the City Council for review. The city also plans to host a community event on the issue to inform residents about the potential project options. “We have been looking forward the release of the draft environmental impact report for the SR-710 North project,” Public Works Director Daren Grilley said. “We are eager to see what information, analysis and recommendations are contained in the document.”
Metro will accept public comments on the document for 120 days. Metro will also host public hearings at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 11 at East Los Angeles College, Rosco Ingalls Auditorium, 1301 Avenida Cesar Chavez, Monterey Park, and at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 14 at the Pasadena Convention Center, 300 E Green Street, Pasadena. Metro has planned a third public hearing but has not confirmed a date or location. Metro plans to release a final version of the EIR, with a preferred alternative, in 2016. To view a copy of the report, visit h t t p : / / w w w. d o t . ca.gov/dist07/resources/ envdocs/docs/710study/ draft_eir-eis. A hard copy of the report will also be available for review at the San Gabriel Library and San Gabriel City Hall. Please see the attached release from Metro for more information.

Foothill Unity Celebrates 35 Years on May 2
Pasadena Man Charged With Killing Sister and Assaulting Nephew Continued from page 1
Program Founded in Church Closet Now Serves Over 10,000 Clients Friends of Foothill Unity Center will gather to celebrate the organization’s 35th birthday on Saturday evening, May 2, with a gala evening in the Sofia Ballroom at Noor Event Center, 260 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena. The festivities will begin with a 5:30 p.m. cocktail reception and silent auction, followed at 7:30 p.m. by dinner and program, featuring a live auction. Proceeds from the gala will support Foothill Unity Center’s wide range of programs helping the most vulnerable children, individuals and families across eleven San Gabriel Valley cities. During the past five years, the number of families coming to the Center for help has more than tripled. Last year the organization provided over 75,000 critical services to 4,994 low-income families (10,288 persons). This would have been unimaginable in 1980, when a caring and determined woman named Josephine Anderson borrowed a closet at Immaculate Conception church in Monrovia and started a grassroots effort to aid struggling local families. That first year, help consisted mostly of blankets and canned goods. But word

began to spread that there was now a place where people could help neighbors in need, and the effort started to grow. Supporters named it “Unity” to reflect a community coming together. 35 years later, the tiny startup is the primary provider of food, case management/crisis help, and access to health care resources across eleven San Gabriel Valley cities. It gives out 4 million pounds of food a year; links with some 100 agencies and support groups to help clients meet a range of challenges; and inspires thousands of local individuals, businesses and organizations to give it their money, time and support. Through the years, the Center’s mission statement has remained the same: “We help neighbors in crisis attain self-sufficiency by partnering with the community and using our resources wisely to provide vital support services with love and dignity.” As Foothill Unity Center turns 35, that mission continues to shape its future. Tickets are $150 per person; tables seat ten. For more information on tickets, sponsorships and program ads, contact Barbara Rolf, (626) 358-3486, barbara@ foothillunitycenter.org.
$3.05 million. The charging document includes special allegations that the defendant personally and intentionally discharged a firearm, which caused great bodily injury and death during the commission of the crime. Deputy District Attorney Kevin Keeland, who is assigned to the case, said defendant Goins reportedly went to his sister’s apartment the morning of March 5. Once there, the defendant allegedly shot Tanya Goins, 32, who was fatally wounded. During the incident, the victim’s teenage son also was struck by the gunfire, but did not suffer lifethreatening injuries. Later the same day, the defendant was arrested in Moreno Valley in connection with
the fatal shooting, the prosecutor said. If convicted as charged, the defendant faces a possible maximum sentence of 52 years to life in state prison. The case is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
An elderly woman and her son lost their lives and two other people were hurt in a fire at their home late Saturday, authorities said. The home in the 2400 block of Holliston Avenue in Altadena saw explosions believed to have been caused by burning oxygen tanks. The fire gutted the single-story home at about
10:30 p.m. Saturday night. Sheriff’s officials described the victims as an 85-year-old woman, Betty Kopp, and her 58-year-old son, Robert. Two people who rented rooms in the home managed to get out but were unable to save the Kopps. Firefighters found their charred remains once the fire was put out.

San Gabriel Election Results Ties Menchaca and Costanzo at 1276 Votes Each
The City Clerk’s Office conducted the final ballot count Tuesday for the March 3 municipal election. The results are proof positive that every single vote counts. Just one additional vote could have changed the outcome. According to the final tally, John Harrington earned 1747 votes, Denise Menchaca earned 1276 votes and Juli Costanzo earned 1276 votes. As the top vote-getter, Mr. Harrington will earn a seat on the City Council. However, Ms. Costanzo and Ms. Menchaca earned an equal amount of votes. According to state law (Elections Code 15650-15654), the tie must be broken by

a lot, a decision made by a random selection. The candidates have five calendar days from the day the City Clerk’s Office certifies the canvass to request a recount. “We are consulting with our city attorney and with election consultant Martin and Chapman to determine the correct next steps,” Interim Chief City Clerk Vivian Love said. “We are committed to ensuring accuracy and efficiency in this process and take it very seriously.” There were 418 voteby-mail and provisional ballots counted Tuesday, added to those already counted on March 3 for both the council and the Los Angeles Com-
munity College District Board elections. State law required the city to count any vote-by-mail ballots that are postmarked by Election Day and received by the following Friday. San Gabriel saw a 16.31 percent voter turnout in the council race. The City Council is currently scheduled to certify the official election results on Tuesday, March 17. At the same meeting, the council also is currently scheduled to swear in newly elected council members and select a new mayor and vice mayor. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 425 S Mission Drive.

At about 11:57 a.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to the Archery Range regarding a call of a male armed with a semi-automatic rifle. A witness said the suspect was firing the rifle indiscriminately. Officers arrived quickly, formulated a tactical plan, and took the extra time to talk with people leaving the area regarding the suspect’s actions. Officers also listened for gunshots as they safely approached the suspect’s location. PPD officers clearly observed the suspect (Bradley Cutler, Male White, Pasadena Resident) standing near the bridge and that he was armed with an AR15 Rifle. Officer ordered the suspect to drop the rifle and he immediately complied. The suspect was detained without gunfire or other use of force. Upon further examination, officers determined the rifle was a replica! The suspect was also in possession of a dirk, which is illegal. He was arrested and booked at the Pasadena jail. Cutler has an extensive criminal record. It was impossible (from the officer’s view point) to visually determine if the weapon is real or a replica. The involved officers used exceptional tactics and judgment in this case. Their actions were courageous and prudent to say the least, which in the end, averted a lethal encounter. Involved personnel included: Sergeant Peinado, Officers Morgan, Butler, K. Jones, and Morris.
March 3
At about 1:13 p.m., the Pasadena Police Communication Center received a call regarding a possible residential burglary in progress in the 2500 block of Monte Vista Street. The caller (witness) told police dispatchers that he saw a Male Black knocking on his neighbor’s door for prolonged periods. The suspect jumped over a fence into the victim’s backyard, which was reported by the witness. The suspect removed a screen covering and attempted to force open the window. When officers arrived, the suspect fled on foot. PPD officers quickly contained the area and subsequently observed the suspect running in a southerly direction across Villa Street toward Fire Station 32. Canine and cover officers chased the suspect, who refused to comply with the officers’ verbal orders to surrender. The suspect was subsequently taken into custody with the use of the PPD canine. PPD officers determined the suspect was a juvenile living in Rancho Cucamonga. The suspect received medical assistance and was later booked for residential burglary. PPD officers were on scene within about two minutes following the witness’ initial call. Apparently, the witness told one of the officers that he “was very impressed with the response by the officers and their efficiency...” This was another great arrest. The witness is commended for his willingness to get involved.

Why Businesswomen Should Embrace Their Inner Sofia Vergara Celebrate Women’s History Month By Taking the L.E.A.D. There’s more to Sofia Vergara, the top-earning actress on television for three years running, than meets the eye, says executive and business coach Debora McLaughlin. “She’s a wildly successful entrepreneur who embraces herself, including her own beauty, her 40s, her health as a thyroid cancer survivor, her previous status as a single mother, her multiple endorsement deals from corporations that reflect her life – and she does it all with swagger,” says McLaughlin, CEO of The Renegade Leader Coaching and Consulting Group, (www.TheRenegadeLeader.com), and author of “Running in High Heels: How to Lead with Influence, Impact & Ingenuity.” “Vergara represents a new face in business leadership. Multiple studies have found that personality traits formerly thought of as ‘feminine’ are now seen as preferred leadership features in business.” Research done by Pew, Zenger Folkman, and Gerzema, Young & Rubicam indicates the new business values contributed by women leaders. These days, essential traits include empathy, vulnerability, humility, inclusiveness, generosity, bal-
Class-Action Lawsuit Against Lumber Liquidators Filed
The lawsuit filed on Mar. 5, 2015 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleges that Lumber Liquidators sold composite flooring manufactured in China tainted with hazardous levels of formaldehyde while falsely labeling their products as meeting or exceeding California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions standards.

ance and patience – which were not thought of as desirable attributes in the old command-and-control boy’s club, McLaughlin says. Despite the mighty contributions made by female business leaders, businesswomen continue to face barriers. McLaughlin wants more women to take the initiative during Women’s History Month with her L.E.A.D. Forward Formula. • “L” is for leveraged leadership. You work it. You will learn how to communicate powerfully, engage in a deeper level of influence, and build a powerbase to support you. Those traits previously thought of as too effeminate for the business world are now spot on in leveraging your influence. • “E” is for Engage. Success doesn’t happen alone. You need your people on board. You need a culture that rallies around shared goals and demonstrates its values in day-to-day behaviors. You need a team that is just as excited about your vision as you are, standing ready to make a positive im-
pact on the bottom line. It’s up to you to move people to passion, positivity and possibility. Learn how to engage and mobilize your teams; get everyone on the same page, and increase performance, productivity and positivity. • “A” is for Activate. Many leaders complain about their culture not realizing their responsibility in creating it. Activate will share the secrets of activating a high-performance culture built upon the foundation of trust, courage and innovation. Top leaders take responsibility for driving the company culture with collaboration, joint leadership, transparent communication and innovation. Here, focus on how to create a culture of people who are happy to be part of it. • “D” is for Distinguish. It’s not enough to blend in; it’s more fun to stand out as a leader and as an organization. Every leader has a brand and it’s up to you to distinguish it. Distinction is alluring. People want to get to know you. Your teams are excited to accelerate

EDITOR’S PICK OF THE WEEK Wistaria Festival Sunday in Sierra Madre
This Sunday, the city of Sierra Madre holds its annual Wistaria Festival, during which the public is invited view the massive Wistaria vine that’s grown so big it’s in the Guinness Book of World Records. Additionally there will be music and ven-

Pasadena Showcase House Musica Mobile Hits a High Note With Elementary Schools Every year, the distinctive Pasadena Showcase House Music Mobile, in partnership with Pasadena Conservatory of Music (PCM), introduces musical instruments to thirdgraders in the San Gabriel Valley. This season, they have hit a high note with their expanded program. In addition to a hands-on lesson, the Music Mobile program now features a multi-media presentation complete with images and high quality sound, and a robust music curriculum folder chock full of lessons designed to help students connect music to other parts of their education. Throughout the 2014-15 season, the Music Mobile pro-
gram will visit 30 elementary schools and give 82 assemblies to approximately 2,600 children in Pasadena, Rosemead, Duarte, Temple City, Arcadia, San Marino and La Canada. During a recent school assembly at Encinita Elementary School in Rosemead, Daniel Corral, an instructor at PCM and the program’s conductor, demonstrated how each instrument is played. With the help of two volunteers from Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) and two assistants from PCM, students also had an opportunity to handle and play brass, woodwind, percussion and string instru-
ments. “For many students our music program is their first exposure to the instruments of an orchestra,” said Music Mobile Chair Barbara Damerel. “The sheer excitement they experience as they play the instruments is priceless.” For a grand finale, the students performed as an orchestra, smiling and laughing as they made music together. “This is the reason we work so hard to produce the Pasadena Showcase House of Design,” said PSHA President Katherine Watkins. “From this Benefit, we are able to introduce these students to the sounds and magic of a symphony orchestra.”

Monrovia Wins 1-0, Advances to Second Round of the CIF State Tournament By Jacob Bigley Monrovia faced off against San Dieguito this Tuesday for their first soccer CIF State Tournament match. The Wildcats emerged victorious, scoring the only goal of the match and winning 1-0. The goal came in the 29th minute when Alredo Maciel (#8)
took a direct kick from about 40 yards out. The ball was kicked towards Monrovia’s leading scorer, Chris Wong (#10), who headed the ball not once but twice towards the goal. With a ricochet off the cross bar, Alfredo Maciel found the ball in front of his feet and
with a quick reaction kick, the ball hit the back of the net giving the Wildcats their winning lead. Monrovia’s next match is Thursday, March 13th at 3 p.m. against Cathedral High School, who is the number one seed. Location: Cathedral High.

Maranatha High School girls’ soccer player Alexis Phillips stuck her foot out in the right place at the right time to give her team a 2-1 win over Chula Vista in the CIF Division 4A State Regional First Round game Tuesday evening at home. Working down the left flank, the Minutemen battled to get ahead of a 1-1 deadlock against the visiting team. Maranatha senior Morgan Howe worked her way down the wing and crossed the ball into the penalty area, finding Phillips, who chipped the ball over the keeper to send Maranatha to the State semifinals. “I just made a run across to get as open as I could,” said the sophomore fullback, whose second goal proved to be the game winner. “I just put my foot on it and I knew I was right in front of the goal and I had nobody on me, so it went in.” Phillips also scored halfway into the first half with a sublime long-range goal from midfield, giving Maranatha an early lead. Chula Vista would pull one back just a few minutes later right outside the penalty
box to put pressure on Maranatha going into halftime. “Coach has weak side backs attack,” Phillips said about exposing Chula Vista’s defense. “The sides are usually open, so everytime the ball is on the side, I would just make a run to the top and get open.” After grabbing the lead in the 58th minute, Maranatha looked more dangerous than ever, posing numerous threats from crosses on either flank, and through balls right down the middle. “Huge relief after putting in her second,” said Maranatha head coach Robert Gurule. “I thought we could get another couple just the way we were attacking.”
“It’s just in my nature to be offensive,” Gurule said about the numerous chances his team had to double their lead. “The best defense is to play offensive, and play defense 50 yards in with our weak side runners going up and pulling out the defenders to slide the midfielders through.” With less than five minutes left in the game, Chula Vista’s hopes of a comeback diminished as the referees sent off junior Martha Estrada for her second yellow card. With the extra player advantage, Maranatha secured their place in the CIF semifinals. They will be hosting Malibu Thursday evening.

Maranatha Boys’ Basketball Clinches First Ever CIF Championship By Vincent Nguyen After trailing 14 points halfway into the second quarter of the CIF Division 4A Championship game, the Maranatha High School Boys’ Basketball team rallied in the third quarter to beat Campbell Hall 59-55 and win their first-ever CIF championship last Friday night, March 6. Maranatha senior guard Tyler Dorsey and head coach Tim Tucker won second CIF rings as the duo led the Minutemen in a historical night that sends them to the state tournament next week. “In the second quarter we started to play defense,” Tucker said. “We came out [the third quarter] and had a great start with a 7-0 run to take the lead, and so now they had to start making adjustments, and then it was just a game of adjustments.” Tucker and Campbell Hall head coach Thomas Blunt switched back-andforth with their tactics as the second half of the game became much tighter and every error counted toward the other team’s advantage. Rebounds and free-throws were key to the championship game, with Dorsey and junior center Trevor Stanback grabbing crucial boards
and sinking vital shots from the charity stripe. “Big game like this, things tend to settle down,” Blunt said. “Basically came up to an offensive rebound here and a missed free-throw there. We didn’t do anything specifically or special, we just wanted to play in tight and
UCLA-commit Aaron Holiday leading Campbell Hall throughout the third quarter, finishing it off by cutting the Minutemen lead to one. “I knew what he wanted to do, I know his game and I played him in freshman year, so I remembered what he likes to do,” Dorsey said, who

make good players work for everything that they can get.” Junior center Trevor Stanback, who was injured for much of the entire regular season with the Minutemen, tied it up for Maranatha before giving them their first lead of the game. The Vikings stayed close to the Minutemen with senior guard and
guarded the Vikings senior and future Pac-12 rival for much of the game. “He likes to get to the basket and drive to create fouls, so I knew to stay on my guard for a little bit.” Holiday continued to power through the court with a game-tying three-pointer, but in the dying moments of
the game, it was Maranatha junior guard Sean Romero who came up clutch with his own shot from downtown to give the Minutemen a fourpoint lead. “It was the same routine,” said Romero, whose three-point field goals have been crucial to the Minutemens’ offense throughout the playoffs. “Little bit more nervous since I never been here before, and I had a rough beginning to the game. Had to get used to the ball, had to get used to the rim, the loudness and everything, but everyone had faith in me.” Nevertheless, the junior’s clutch three sparked the Minutemen to play defense down to the wire, and forced the Vikings to foul Maranatha to preserve time. Dorsey, who ended the game with 25 points, killed the game off with two free-throws to earn his second CIF Championship, and Maranatha’s firstever golden plaque. “It wasn’t just my effort,” said the now two-time champion, who was prepared for a tough game. “Everybody on the team stepped up and I’m really proud of my guys and I’m really happy for my seniors.”

Patrick Goebel Records 12 K’s in 5-0 Victory Over Salesian By Jacob Bigley The Monrovia Wildcats defeated the Salesian Mustangs last Friday thanks to a beautiful pitching and hitting performance from their starting sophomore pitcher, Patrick Goebel (#24). Patrick pitched 6 1/3 innings, recording 12 strikeouts, 4 walks, 0 hits and concluding with a 0.00 ERA. In case you weren’t impressed with his pitching performance, one can turn to his wood work, going 3 for 3, recording a double along with 2 RBIs.
Patrick was relieved by Justin Rosedak (#10) in the 7th, who successfully closed the game by retiring the final two batters, recording one strikeout. The Wildcats recorded a final nine hits for the game, one belonging to their lead-off hitter, Eric Herrera (#13), who recorded his first home run of the season. Monrovia’s schedule for this week is determined by the play of the Arcadia Elk’s Tournament.

Clairbourn School: Technology in Education By May S. Ruiz The morning bell rings and a gaggle of Kindergartners run excitedly into the classroom, ready to start the school day. But instead of the usual crayons, pencils and paper, the children have iPads, and sitting in front of them on their desks are computers. There is no blackboard to be seen anywhere; around the periphery of the room are large screen monitors. The five-year-olds await with anticipation today’s important lesson. This is the daily scene for Paul Barker, technology teacher, at Clairbourn School in San Gabriel. And, along with his students, Paul continually discovers how using technology in the classroom is making the learning experience that much more alive and vibrant. Founded in 1926, this independent private school offers an excellent educational program for nursery-age children as young as three years old, all the way to 8th grade. Adhering to its original mandate of preparing its charge for a full and rich life, Clairbourn teachers cover the core subjects of English, Math, Sci-

ence, History, and Language much like their predecessors did all that long ago. What is different, though, is the way they teach. Dr. Robert Nafie, Clairbourn’s head of school, understands that children today are bombarded with bursts of information coming at them from various video platforms. Gone are the days when students sat at their desks to

listen to their teacher lecture about a subject matter.

addresses this shift in the way children learn. And, as teachers integrate technology in their everyday lessons they are, themselves, still learning about it. Dr. Nafie says, “Schools are just figuring out technology along with the kids they’re expected to teach. It’s a new challenge for educators who are digital immigrants (having been largely paper-trained) to teach kids who are digital natives.” Meanwhile, in his computer lab, Paul types on his iPad what he wants his students to do. Eager faces look up at the large screen monitors for their instruction, and proceed with the lesson. Using the language Scratch, he teaches them how to program. With each touch of the mouse, they command the Scratch sprite (which looks like a cartoon cat) to walk,
run, or skip. They can invent a storyline for this Scratch cat, and using various backdrops available to them, create an interactive book. First graders learn a Lego program and build simple robots using Mindstorms. In 2nd grade, they learn basic robot controls; in 3rd grade, they add devises to their robots. When they reach 4th grade, they build complicated robots from scratch. In 5th grade, they research and outline a project using all the concepts they learned, their robot-building knowledge and experience. In middle school, they construct an actual working robot that they will present to their classmates, teachers and parents. According to Paul, some of his middle-schoolers built a bathroom, complete with flushing toilet and working sink.
Recently, the computer lab got its own 3-D printer from a local manufacturer, Deezmaker. The heart of the contraption is a small indexcard size CPU (central processing unit) and is capable of printing simple blocks or complicated objects. Students are now able to use all the knowledge they gained in Math and Science to design and create something. Using their programming skills, they can make the 3-D printer replicate what they built in their mind into something they can touch and feel and experience. The lessons Paul teaches in his computer lab class complement the topics his students are learning in their other classes. He has a list of subjects for each grade level and the lessons on discussion at each point in the school year. When the English teacher is teaching Shakespeare in her class, Paul integrates that lesson in the lab. It makes memorizing Hamlet’s soliloquy, for instance, easier and more fun. What a long way Clairbourn School has come! From the Bourne family’s first vision of how they wanted their children to be educated, when Mrs. A.K. Bourne held classes in their conservatory for a handful of students, to the interactive teaching instructors now provide. Under Dr. Nafie’capable stewardship, technology is not just a promising academic supplement, it is a fundamental component of the Clairbourn student’s everyday learning experience.

074 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-610853-AB . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 1-800-2802832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www. auction.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9448-5272. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson launched a new era of student testing in California today, providing online exams in English language arts/literacy and mathematics to more than 3 million students based on the state’s more challenging academic standards. Students in grades three through eight and eleven can now begin taking the new California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) in the first statewide administration of new tests to replace the paperbased, multiple-choice Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program. The new tests allow students to demonstrate their ability to write analytically, think critically, and solve problems along with their knowledge of facts. “These tests reflect the exciting changes taking place in California classrooms. Instead of being asked to merely pick out multiple-choice answers, students are being tested on their ability to reason and think. They must draw logical conclusions and cite evidence from what they have read, and they must solve real-world math problems,” Torlakson said. “And now, like an academic check-up, these tests will give parents, teachers, and schools the feedback they need to help students succeed.” The state’s new assessment system is the next important step in California’s aggressive plan to improve teaching and learning in every school. The plan includes setting higher academic standards, giving local schools and communities more control over spending decisions, and providing more resources to students with the greatest needs. “This is about helping students succeed in the long run and realize their dreams of attending college and working in rewarding careers,” Torlakson said. Torlakson cautioned parents and the public against comparing the results of the new assessments with the old STAR exams, and acknowledged that many schools and students will need more time to become attuned to the state’s new standards and the tests that go with them. “The new tests are too different from the old exams to make reliable comparisons between old scores and new,” Torlakson said. “This year’s test results will establish a baseline for the progress we expect students to make over time.” California is among 21 states nationwide participating in the Smarter Balanced
Assessment Consortium, a state-led organization that developed new assessments aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), which California adopted in 2010. California PTA President Colleen A.R. You said the new tests will check to see if our students are on track to be college- and career-ready, but she cautioned that it will take time to get used to the new tests and reports. She urged parents to stay informed. “We are encouraging parents to ask questions and talk to their child, their child’s teacher and school district leaders to be more informed and engaged during this time of transition,” she said. SCUSD Superintendent José L. Banda said he is optimistic about the future: “I truly believe the shift in our classrooms toward more critical thinking, more problem solving, and a more integrated use of technology will lift a generation of students to higher levels of achievement.” Banda said he is “proud of our hard-working teachers, students, parents, and staff that are managing the transition to new standards and
new tests with grace and persistence.” California students took part in both pilot testing of the exams in 2013 and field testing in 2014 in preparation for this year’s launch. Based on the results of field tests, many students will need to make significant progress to reach the standards set for math and literacy that accompany college- and career-readiness. Scores will not be used to determine whether a student moves on to the next grade. Torlakson said the new testing system was developed to help teachers. Since the assessments use computeradaptive technology, they provide more accurate information about individual student performance and convey the information to teachers, schools, and school districts on a timelier basis. Despite extensive preparations, providing the tests online for so many students poses technical and logistical challenges. Paper versions of the test will be available to schools without sufficient computers or online capacity. Other issues are bound to arise over the course of testing
