Once again thank you for more clarification on the cancelled trip overseas for the City Council. What is especially disturbing after reading this article is that upon receipt of the FPPC’s letter on Jan. 23rd that states these donations “for international travel that include the exploration of a potential sister city relationship in a foreign country does not constitute ‘official agency business’ pursuant to Regulation 18950.1,” City Attorney Deitsch and Manager Lazaretto advised the City to announce on Feb. 17 the plan to use donations for a trip overseas! May I suggest that if you look to the FPPC for advice and guidance, you should listen to them and not try to cover up their response when it is not in your favor. Please stop saying the donations were an “unconditional donation” into the City Fund for any City use when it was disclosed just two weeks ago that Mayor Wuo is friends with all three donors and had asked Donor 3 to donate for a trip to China. Listen to the FPPC Mr. Deitsch when they suggest you consider other alternatives for these donations. Next time, just pay your own way and stop soliciting for money to take a trip. It’s very simple. However, if Mr. Hettrick can arrange a trip for only $2,199, can I come too? My family would love to go. -S.M. Tao Via ArcadiaWeekly.com MANSION MORATORIA ARCADIA = F Dear Editor: Arcadia is in a metamorphosis, adjusting to the tear-down idée fixe real estate of historic homes and neighborhoods that are being replaced with monstrous “popcorn” mansions. The Arroyo Monthly March 2015 issue (www. ArroyoMonthly.com) has some excellent information on the rapidly changing demographics and expanding landscape of the city. The L.A. Conservancy
(a nonprofit organization that works through education and advocacy to recognize, preserve, and revitalize the classic architectural and cultural resources of Los Angeles County & Communities) gave Arcadia an “F” in its Countywide Historic Preservation Report Card. On its site it asserts that “Arcadia has no policies in place for the protection of historic properties in the city.” (https://www. laconservancy.org/communities/arcadia) It appears that the once ambient “character and harmony” of Arcadia has been toned down with a new design of “construction and hegemony” bulldozed by politics and profits with preplanned junkets to solicit more foreign investors and developers to dismantle its heritage. Solution: Impose an immediate moratorium on further demolition and building until stricter HOA zoning codes for architectural review can be adopted and enforced similar to the Mills Act for Planning & Community Development. -R.W. Thee ARCADIA, CA IDAHO READER COMMEMORATES AGENT MORRIS
Dear Editor: I live in Idaho and was in attendance at the dedication. Agent Morris was the “best man” in my wedding. We attended grammar school, high school and college together. We were in the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and were Scout camp counselor’s together. We worked together at the local 76 station after school and football practice. We joined the USMC reserve together, our family’s vacationed together. You might say we were always together. He was my best friend. After all these years, it was very heart rendering to see the recognition Agent Morris so richly deserved finally come to pass. -Jim Strinz SEMPER FE, IDAHO

Uncle Sam From Sierra Madre Seeks Grand Marshal Nominations By Dorothy Denne
It Is Past Time On Feb. 19, I titled my column "Leaning Toward Grumpy" and told you I might write more about it later. In the meantime, in keeping with the spirit of Dorothy's Place, I told you about a clever way to get a permanent position as a church organist. I also told you about three of my unique friends -- one with a bird with garlic breath, one with a cross-eyed Siamese cat with an overbite, and one who took worm pills instead of aspirin. Today is the day to get back to what made me grumpy. It is far past time to end the misery and death of millions/billions of cats and dogs round the world every year -- due solely to overpopulation, referred to by Alex Pacheco and his team as "the cancer" of the animal world. Alex was the Co-founder of PETA and now founder of a group called 600 Million Stray Dogs Need You. I think he got a little long-winded on that title but he thinks big and 600 is a big project. 600's aim is to fund research to provide the world with an effective, safe, affordable, non-surgical and non-painful method of controlling dog and cat overpopulation --single dose birth control pills or Spay Food. Now I have to tell you, dear readers, that I had for a
long time thought this was a feasible idea so when I first heard of the concept being in action, it caught my attention BIG time. I managed to get in contact with Alex Pacheco personally and have since shared several e-mails, notes and phone calls with him. He and 600 still have my attention. What have I been able to do for them beyond financial donations? Well, I have very Unsuccessfully contacted several animal groups and profit-driven businesses. Only one responded, with minimal interest. That's what made me lean toward grumpy and I'm still leaning; but I'm not giving up. Meanwhile, won't you help un-grump me and help keep Dorothy's Place a feelgood place by contacting the following to gather more information for yourself, such as why they started with dogs, why not the U.S. only, why we can't depend on the big drug companies, etc. Send an e-mail to www.600MillionDogs.org OR send a written note and maybe include a donation to 600 Million Stray Dogs Need You Box 1065 Pompano Beach, Florida 33061-9842 Be sure to include your address so they can thank you and you can take a tax deduction.

Young Couple and Family Dog Rescued LAPD Rookie Officer Wanted in Deadly Nightclub Shooting by LASD Altadena Mountain Rescue Team On Sunday, March 15, at approximately 11:30 p.m. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Altadena Mountain Rescue Team (AMRT) received a call of two lost hikers above Altadena, in the Angeles National Forest. AMRT searched the area of Rubio Canyon, locating the hikers’ vehicle parked alongside the hiking trail on Rubio Vista Road. The hikers, a young couple in their early 20s, set out in the early afternoon to see the waterfall with their family dog “Cheerios” in Rubio Canyon, in the Angeles National Forest. After darkness fell, the couple lost sight of the trail and became lost. AMRT responded into Rubio Canyon and began to yell out for the couple as AMRT simultaneously hiked through the trail in search of them. Within an hour, the stranded couple

A rookie Los Angeles cop is on the run after police in nearby Pomona called him a person of interest in the early Friday shooting death at a local nightclub. Cops on Sunday found the abandoned silver Volkswagen Jetta belonging to 27-year-old Henry Solis, a probationary officer with the LAPD, just blocks from the Vive Tequila Lounge and Nightclub in Pomona, a city about 30 miles east of Los Angeles. Officers have been searching for Solis since
Friday, when 23-year-old Salome Rodriguez Jr. was shot dead at Third St. and Main St. around 3:30 a.m. The two reportedly got into an altercation at the club before the deadly shooting outside the building. A mortally wounded Rodriguez ran bleeding from the scene for about a block before collapsing in a parking lot, according to the Los Angeles Times. He’d been shot five times—twice in the abdomen, twice in the left leg and once in the lower neck—by

Reps. Robert Dold (RIL), Adam Schiff (D-CA), David Valadao (R-CA), and Frank Pallone (D-NJ), along with 40 other Members of the House of Representatives introduced the Armenian Genocide Truth and Justice Resolution. This bipartisan resolution calls upon the President to work toward equitable, constructive, and durable ArmenianTurkish relations based upon the Republic of Tur-
key’s full acknowledgement of the facts and ongoing consequences of the Armenian Genocide. The resolution will also establish a fair, just, and comprehensive international record of this crime against humanity. This year, 2015, marks the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide – a systematic and deliberate annihilation campaign launched by the government of the Ottoman Empire against its
Armenian population which left 1.5 million Armenians dead and millions more displaced. While the Armenian Genocide has been recognized by more than twenty nations including Canada, Italy, Sweden, France, Argentina and Russia, as well as the European Parliament, it has not been formally recognized by the U.S. Congress in decades and has not been recognized by President Barack Obama.

Registered Sex Offender Sentenced to 518 Years A man registered as a sex offender since 1995 was sentenced last Friday to more than 500 years to life in state prison for sexually abusing a girl from 2007 to 2013, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami said José de Jesús Santana Aguilar, 52, was found guilty on Feb. 13 of four counts of sodomy by use of force, three counts of lewd act upon a child, two counts each of continuous sexual abuse, forcible oral copulation of victim
over 14 years, and one count of sexual penetration by foreign object-victim over 14 years in case MA061396. Additionally, he was convicted of five counts of failing to update registration annually. The sexual abuse began when the 12-year-old victim lived in Littlerock and it continued until she was 18, according to witness testimony. In 1994, Aguilar was convicted of sexually abusing another 13-year-old girl in the Long Beach area, the prosecutor said. While out on probation, he returned
to the girl’s residence in an attempt to sexually abuse her again, according to court testimony. Aguilar was sentenced in 1998 to six years in state prison for that probation violation. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Daviann Mitchell of the Antelope Valley Branch handed down today’s sentence for the most recent case after hearing victim impact statements from the victim, her mother and her godmother. The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

dle schools, and partnering with various gun violence prevention groups, community and faith based organizations to raise public awareness and promote gun safety. Feuer and these partners will host a Town Hall on safe storage of guns at Holman United Methodist Church in South Los Angeles this spring. Defendant Aaron Martin, 41, is charged with four criminal counts including: keeping a loaded firearm in a location where a child is likely to gain access; allowing a child to carry a firearm off-premises; permitting a child to be placed in a situation where their person or health is endangered; and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Each count carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail and up to $5,000 in fines. The City Attorney will also be seeking conditions which would prohibit the possession of any weapons. Charges stem from an incident on March 4, 2015 when school officials noticed a nine-year-old student of Nestle Elementary School in Tarzana place a weapon into a rain gutter near the restroom. Responding Los Angeles
School Police officers recovered a Glock .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun, loaded with 11 live rounds of ammunition. The child allegedly brought the weapon to school to show other students after taking it from underneath a dog bed in defendant’s residence. The child, his mother and younger sister had allegedly been living with the defendant in Canoga Park for the past three months. Investigating officers recovered two additional weapons from the home including a loaded Ruger .357 magnum revolver in a case underneath the defendant’s bed and a loaded Ruger .45 caliber semi-automatic wrapped in a t-shirt in a nightstand. Two of the weapons, including the one recovered from the school, were registered to the defendant and a third weapon was registered to another individual. The child’s mother has separately been charged with felony child endangerment by the District Attorney’s Office. Deputy City Attorney Bryan Bowers of the City Attorney’s Gun Violent Prevention Unit is prosecuting the case. Arraignment is scheduled for March 30, 2015.

City Attorney Mike Feuer recently announced that his office has filed multiple criminal charges against a San Fernando Valley man for allegedly failing to properly store a loaded firearm which a nine-yearold boy took to his elementary school. The charges follow the filing of two similar cases by the City Attorney against individuals in the past five months. “20,000 children and teens are killed or injured in the U.S. by guns each year. This is a public health emergency as well as a public safety issue. We can and will do more to prevent kids from becoming victims,” said Los Angeles City Attorney Feuer. “Unsecured guns in the home where children are present is a tragedy waiting to happen. Half of all unintentional shooting deaths involving children occur at home. That’s why we will continue to be vigilant in enforcing gun violence prevention laws, and educating everyone who owns a firearm on proper storage.” The City Attorney’s comprehensive effort to keep kids safe from gun violence includes educating parents at LAUSD mid-

San Gabriel to Conduct Manual Recount for Election
THE PROS AND CONS
The City Clerk’s Office will conduct a manual recount of all ballots cast in the March 3 municipal election in response to a written request from residents and voters of the city of San Gabriel, including city council candidates Denise Menchaca and Juli Costanzo. The city received the request for manual recount at 2:17 p.m. on Thursday. The manual recount will occur this Thursday, March 19, beginning at 11:30 a.m. in the City Council Chambers, 425 S Mission Drive. The count will be completed by the end of the day. Although the recount would typically be paid for by the requesting party, the city has agreed to incur all costs. The cost is estimated to be about $4,000. City officials remain in consultation with the city attorney and elections consultant Martin and Chapman. “The City Clerk’s Office has responded promptly to the request for manual recount,” City Clerk Eleanor K. Andrews said. “The city will also absorb the cost of the recount as part of its continuing commitment to
When one reviews the actions of the Sierra Madre City Council, the questions arise as to whether or not the Council has weighed the pros and cons of their actions. The building moratorium is based upon stopping building on only those parcels that do not have water meters. This only affects the 13 parcels of the Stonehouse tract, which are nowhere close to starting the first home and even that would take a year or more to complete. This does not affect the Carter tract, which has water meters in place. What is the real reason that they continue to reject every design that the applicant submits even though they have complied with all the guidelines that are in place? Are they simply trying to reverse the City’s legal settlement that calls for this area to be developed or do they have something else in mind? Are they even considering the loss of revenues to the City, which they desperately need to cover their ever-increasing operating costs? This says nothing of the loss of income from the reduction of the U.U.T.
a transparent and accurate election process. It’s just the right thing to do.” Menchaca and Costanzo received an equal number of votes (1,276) in the election, in which voters were asked to choose two city council members from among three candidates. The third candidate, John Harrington, received 1,747 votes. If, after the recount, the tally remains in a tie, the city will move forward with a lot, or random selection process, to break the tie, as delineated by state law (Elections Code 15651). The City Council will determine the manner of lot to be used at its March 17 meeting. Also on March 17, the Council will be asked to certify the results of the election for the highest vote-getter John Harrington, as well as select a new mayor and vice mayor. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 425 S Mission Drive. The City Hall parking lot has limited space due to construction, but additional parking can be found in the Mission Playhouse parking lot, 320 S Mission Drive.
The water moratorium is another action that boggles the mind especially when combined with all the other restrictions of the so-called conservation moves. Do they even think for one moment how many people are hurt as a result? They are forcing the people to allow their landscaping to die--who can even begin to estimate the financial loss to the homeowners? If there really was a water shortage one could understand, but that is not the case and the City knows it. This says nothing of the loss in income to the City even though they have doubled the unit cost and everything other peripheral that they can think of. They simply have a “don’t care attitude.” The Demolition Moratorium is the latest wonder as to what are they thinking of. If the historical homes have not been pinpointed by now, then they should wonder why not. Here again, the Council has turned a blind eye to the people that they are affecting. This, again, does not take into account the loss of immediate income or continuing income for all the years to come. What is going on in the
BeaconMediaNews.com
Council’s mind? Are they there to help or hurt the people? The City Manager keeps programming all the cost increases, but no one seems to want to increase income in a less painful matter. Is it less painful to receive additional income from property taxes or the outrageous water use fees? We urge them to hopefully consider all of the pros and cons in their actions. HOPE springs eternal! -Sierra Madre Watchman Article #91 IN RESPONSE TO “CHALLENGING THE SECOND AMENDMENT” Dear Editor: In response to the article “Challenging The Second Amendment” by Jennifer Schlueter; I wish to bring up some facts that were missing in her article. Gun homicides are 10% higher in states that do not allow citizens the right to carry a concealed weapon; according to a study spanning the years 1980 to 2009. (1) There are an estimated 11,000,000 Americans who are licensed to carry a concealed weapon. This has occurred while crime and homicide statics have been dropping. In a survey of 15,000 police officers, 91% supported the idea of private citizens having the right to carry a concealed weapon. (2) Whatever path we choose regarding guns; we

should look at all relevant statistics before we pursue a specific policy. (1)Applied Economics Letters Vol 21 #4 (2)Gun Policy and Law Enforcement-Police One David Ibershoff SIERRA MADRE Editor’s note: Dear David, Here are some more statistics to add: While it is true that homicide and crime rates have been dropping, guns are still the most widely used weapons to kill and injure (Bureau of Justice Statistics). As for the data on police officers supporting private citizens carrying a concealed weapon – unfortunately, this statistic doesn’t include the opinions of those who have were fatally shot or their families. I wonder if they show the same support. We can all bend statistics to convince others of a certain opinion. However, I still believe that providing only trained and mentally stable people with guns is unfortunately never a guarantee to prevent non-trained and mentally unstable individuals from taking these legally owned weapons and intentionally or accidentally cause harm, injury, or death. That’s also why, according to David Hemenway, author of Private Guns, Public Health, American children below the age of 15 are at a nine times higher risk to die by a gun accident than others in developed nations.

Anti-Social Media – Let’s Face(book) It, Just Say No Thanks to Zuckerberg By Terry Miller Now, ask anyone who knows me and you’ll immediately know I’m not really anti-social. In fact, quite the opposite. In the classic film “Network,” Peter Finch plays “crazed” TV anchorman Howard Beale, who yells to his huge television audience “I want you all to go to your window right now and say... I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore ….” This is the mantra we should be singing to snottynosed Zuckerberg and his billion-dollar Facebook Empire. Some think we have come a very, very long way from the old Telex machine that use to spit out copy all over the world in seconds
for journalists and financial whiz-kids. It was an art to read those ticker-tapes (alas, that trade is long dead) and listen to the exciting clicketty-clack sound of news coming in via Associated Press, or any number of news bu-
reaus from around the globe. When I first started shooting pictures for a newspaper we didn’t even have a FAX machine let alone cell phones. Eventually the newsroom got one but the now-ancient FAX machine was like a baby waiting to have his diaper changed … a constant struggle with software and hardware. People at the other end of a transmission couldn’t read or decipher the sent copy or there wasn’t enough “memory” to send a mere five pages. Enter email: a wonderful light shone from brilliant minds and summoned users to sign up with AOL … and for hundreds, if not thousands of dotcoms full of hope of a promised-land
of internet and email – business was good - for a fleeting minute. Then, BAM, the digital iron curtain fell between 1999-2001, when the bubble burst. Amazon and eBay’s stock went from $107 to $7 dollars a share. A stunned
market affected hundreds of thousands of people in the dot.com surge. Alas, ten years later Amazon’s stock rose to $400 per share. So business started growing big again, especially with laptops, iPads and of course cell phones. Enter SPAM. Okay, I admit it … I’m fed up with the dribble coming out of peoples’ “Facemouths” … Do I really need to be followed by these people … aren’t they already following me on the freeway as well as on my “Facebook page”? I got sucked into FB, don’t ask me how or why … but I hardly ever go there. Yet, I’m bombarded with people who ‘tag” or “poke” me, or Zuckerberg emails me that a thousand of “my closest friends” have a birthday today or tells me so much has been happening while I was away from my Facebook account. Actually, so much has happened for that very reason. I’m doing something, not yakking about it. LinkedIn wants me to congratulate people on their new jobs and updated profiles – If I don’t even really know these people, why do I need to do anything? And Twitter is re-tweeting something someone said, in so many words. Part of learning to be a good friend, confidant, coworker, etc., is learning how to cooperate with others. This is most definitely not a skill learned on the Internet. Social media critics say this mania for instant gratification creates “excessive drama and frustration.” “This is because positive messages are read as more neutral than they are intend-
ed to be; neutral messages are read as more negative as they are intended to be and one can only imagine what happens with messages that are intended to be negative,” according to a recent report in Psychology Today. Teenagers, many of whom are already deeply sleep-deprived, are becoming more sleep-deprived because many are up until the wee hours of the night texting or lurking any of the billions of websites designed to distract. Teens, especially, need to learn to be “present in the moment,” according to the popular magazine. Continually we see teens (and adults) on their “smartphones” when they are in the company of their peers. They lose the ability to interact mindfully in the moment. In fact, it is rare to see anyone not glued to their iPhone (or whatever) at a restaurant, on a plane or even in
classrooms and meetings. A recent example struck me when a woman in front of me at the checkout counter at a local market was completely oblivious to her surroundings due to her sole attention to the dreaded cell phone. She, of course, was glued to her “smartphone,” head tilted to hold the damn thing and with an armful of items in the other ready to purchase. The checker asked her if she had a Vons Card and the ever-so-important woman gruffly retorted, “Can you wait? Can’t you see I’m on the ‘phone?" My reaction was much more acidic than the poor checker’s. I simply said she was remarkably rude. She was - she looked at me as if I was an alien from another planet, speechless (probably as she didn’t have my cell number to text her astonishment at my candor) The laws trying to prevent us from talking on our
phones while driving evidently don’t apply to most people I see on the roads in California. We should have cell phone laws in supermarkets too … especially those using hands-free devices, talking loudly while meandering through myriads of mustards and mayonnaise. Initially, I was convinced these people were talking to themselves. Finally, it dawned on me that these self-absorbed people must truly be influential and I don’t need to respond to their comments primarily thrown into my precious airspace on this planet. Social media users, remember: your information is being shared with third parties and privacy settings revert to a less safe default mode after each redesign … Facebook ads may also contain malware- you most certainly don’t want that.

Total Solar Eclipse to Transpire Amid Vernal Equinox and New Supermoon AccuWeather reports that on Friday, March 20, the vernal equinox will occur once again, marking the gradual return to warmer days in the Northern Hemisphere and winter’s official astronomical end. However, for 2015, the spring equinox will transpire amidst two other celestial events: a total solar eclipse [for some areas] and a new supermoon. “You could call it a cosmic coincidence,” Slooh Observatory Manager Paul Cox said, adding that he will be traveling to the Faroe Islands as part of Slooh’s expedition for the rare eclipse. Slooh will be broad-
casting the entire event live from the Faroe Islands, located in the northern Atlantic Ocean, which will serve as one of the best landbased locations for viewing

the full effect of the eclipse as the moon slides in front of the sun. “Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, in nature is as powerful and spectacular as the totality of a solar eclipse,” Slooh Astronomer Bob Berman said. “Sadly, they only happen every 360 years on average for any given location, which means that a very low percentage of the population has ever seen one.” While the total eclipse will only be visible from areas of the northern Atlantic Ocean, the farther north a person is located in Western Europe, the better visibility they will have, Cox said.

Maranatha’s Mixed Ensemble Sings in Musicale at Lake Avenue Church
Maranatha High School’s Mixed Ensemble recently participated in the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) two-day Musicale Festival at Lake Ave Church. Christian schools from the region gathered to collectively perform select vocal pieces as part of the closing night’s grand performance. Additionally, each school prepared two songs of their own choosing to perform for an adjudicator. Dr. James Melton, Music Department Chair at Vanguard University, and Dr. Galen Clark, Choral Conducting Chair at
Azusa Pacific University, adjudicated Maranatha’s ensemble. The feedback Maranatha received was both positive and uplifting. Dr. Garineh Avakian, Maranatha’s Choir Director, noted, “Our students were professional in how they conducted themselves and also how they sounded at the adjudications. We thank God for giving us the talent and opportunity to be a part of this special event. I am proud of all the hard work that our Mixed Ensemble has done this year.” Five Maranatha students were chosen to be
a part of the ACSI Honors Choir - Daniel Hsieh, Luke Simon, Kelly Ng, Emma Hausler, and Holly Campbell. Two MHS students were also chosen to sing the solo parts in the command performance: Emma Hausler and Luke Simon. Maranatha’s Mixed Ensemble will perform next on April 24 at their “Back to the Future” Spring Performing Arts Showcase that will feature the school’s Mixed Ensemble, Advanced Orchestra, and Dance Company. Tickets will be on sale in April at www.maranathahs.org/boxoffice.

Young Artists Showcase Their Talents at Cathedral's 5th Annual Robert Graham Art Exhibit Hundreds of parishioners, artists and art aficionados filled the art galleries of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels (555 W. Temple St., Los Angeles, 90012) in downtown Los Angeles for the opening this week of the 5th Annual Robert Graham Student Art Exhibit. The exhibit, named for the creator of the Cathedral's Bronze Doors, includes 84 student artists--a record number of participants--selected from 14 Catholic high schools throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Cathedral Pastor Msgr. Kevin Kostelnik opened the exhibit Sunday with a blessing. "Lord, bless these schools. Bless these teachers. And bless these students who have created great works of art to give glory to God," Msgr. Kostelnik said. Steven Graham, son of Robert Graham, and renowned artist Gayle Garner Roski, a member of the Cathedral's fine arts committee, joined Msgr. Kostelnik

As the lights dim, Mike Irizarry as a pretend-usher sings introductory hilarious “rules” for the audience, setting the stage for an evening of fast-paced Stephen Sondheim tunes and dancing. Aptly named “Putting It Together,” the musical revue includes tunes that originated in Sondheim’s many shows. They’ve been extracted and “put together” in a loosely hung story of two
no-longer-so-happy couple. The other, a composer/actor and his wanna-be starlet date, are earlier in exploring their relationship. The plot is virtually non-existent. Sondheim’s smart, sophisticated (if often biting and cynical) words provide the dialog needed to carry us from song to song. We appreciate the actors’ clear enunciation in the Playhouse production

Irizarry, as he caters the party, pops in with one-word “captions” to the varying moods of the song/ story. Desperation…Exuberance…Competition…Seduction…Revenge are projected on the backdrop of arcs, announcing forthcoming tunes. Those arcs! Huge arcs frame the stage wall-to-wall and up to the ceiling. That this stage design by Sarah Krainin could double with equal efficacy for the two current repertory plays is astounding! For “Einstein is a Dummy,” the concentric arcs evoke global imagery and display Einsteinian equations. For “Putting It Together,” the cocktail party seems to nestle beneath the arcs. Throughout, lighting on the arcs is used to great effect, creating entirely different colors and shadows. This is quite a feat indeed; credit the lighting artistry and technology to Phillip Powers.

They Are on a Roll, Literally: Cousins Maine Lobster by Ea Nicole Madrigal
The approach toward providing quality food in a particular setting has changed dramatically over the last decade. No longer is the brick and mortar building the only way to give diners a specific restaurant’s cuisine. Instead, over the last 10 years, the food truck has revolutionized the dining experience by giving excellent sustenance to hungry (and mobile) patrons. One of the best examples of this food truck frenzy is Cousins Maine Lobster. Many of you in the San Gabriel Valley might remember Cousins Maine Lobster from their former residence on the lavish and crowded Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. However, in the greater Los Angeles area, the cousins have utilized their food trucks to spread the good word and great food. I caught up with their food truck last weekend as it made a visit to the bustling streets of Sierra Madre Boulevard for the annual Wisteria Festival in the city of Sierra Madre. I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to indulge in this seafood phenomenon. However, Cousins Maine Lobster has one of those rags-to-riches stories worth a mention before I share my personal food experience. Started in April 2012 in Los Angeles by cousins Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis, Cousins became well known for taking the lobster food truck idea to ABC’s Shark Tank and finding an investor in Barbara Corcoran. Fast forward nearly three years later in 2015, Cousins services 10 different cities across the country (three in California) with the best
lobster the United States has to offer – Maine’s. With that said, why is it worth it to seek out this Los Angeles-based truck to try their lobster? Whereas most restaurants would charge you a premium for quality lobster, Cousins charges just a fraction of the cost for theirs. You may not be sitting down at a dining table with cloth napkins and a cocktail listening to elevator music, but a cold soda, some paper napkins,
for a restaurant on wheels, you may be pleased to know that the lobster at Cousins does not have that distinctly “fishy” taste. And despite the relatively small size of the meal, you will find yourself pleasantly full. Cousins does not simply serve a bunch of lobster rolls on their truck, either. The food truck cuisine also includes tasty items such as lobster-filled tacos. In addition, on their website, Cousins sells everything from - Courtesy Photo

Favorite Draught Beer with a Burger Favorite Cocktail with a Burger and the outdoor ambience should suffice. On my visit, I tried their most traditional item on the menu – the one that they have become best known for over time: the Maine Lobster Roll. It was sautéed with butter and served on a perfectly crisp white roll. The roll itself is likely no bigger than 4-5 inches in length, but it is stuffed to the brim with some of the most delectable lobster I have ever tasted. It is astoundingly fresh, which may be surprising for some since it is coming from a food truck. Especially for those of you who do not think of seafood when you search
lobster entrees to “lobster roll kits” where you can bring their restaurant experience directly inside your home to make your own lobster rolls. Cousins Maine Lobster reminds us all that – as things have tendencies to transform in the 21st century toward convenience – so too does the traditional restaurant. And these cousins, and their seafood-based business which recognizes these modern changes, are certainly on a roll!

Field Elementary School Students Score Big in Science Competition Students from Field Elementary School in the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) are gold medal winners in the Los Angeles County Science Olympiad, a daylong science competition recently held on the campus of Occidental College. 188 schools participated in the Olympiad, with 67 competing in the elementary division. The 15 person Science Olympiad teams faced off against each other in a series of events held across the Occidental campus. The students matched their science knowledge and engineering skills by taking rigorous written tests on geology, meteorology, marine biology, astronomy, and zoology and demonstrating engineering skills using ingeniously designed catapults, elastic-band powered paddle boats, and other apparatuses such as energy boxes and containers for the unforgiving 40-foot egg drop. When the final scores were tallied at the end of the Olympiad, the Field team tied with three other teams for first place and was presented with a gold medal. According to representatives from the Los Angeles County Science Olympiad,
¼ of Caltech Undergraduate students have participated in a Science Olympiad competition. This is the second year Field participated in the Science Olympiad, and the second year that the students earned a gold medal. Sierra Madre Middle School also participated in the Olympiad and placed 11th in only their third year of competing. The Field students put in an incredible effort developing their skills and
science knowledge over a period of four months by studying after school on Fridays and attended Saturday practice sessions. The Field team was guided in this initiative by a dedicated group of parent coaching volunteers who prepared curricula, led study sessions, and mentored the team members. The coaches worked with the students to design and test engineering principles, including devices made out of pasta or soda straws.
The Science Olympiad represented an important step toward understanding and exploring the natural world for the students and opened up their creative thinking, inspiring a new generation of scientists and engineers. The students from Field will be honored by Senator Carol Liu’s Office in front of the student body this Friday, March 13 at 8:45 a.m. Field Elementary School is located at 3600 Sierra Madre Blvd. in Pasadena.

Opnion: Anti-Social Media Continued from page 1
The potential for crime with Social Media is very real. According to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, victims of Internet-related crimes lost $559 million in 2009. That was up 110 percent from the previous year. If you're not careful using Facebook, you are looking at the potential for identity theft, or possibly even something worse. One British police agency recently reported the number of crimes they've responded to in the last year involving Facebook climbed 346 percent. These are real threats. Not only can photos be stolen and used by strangers, but many photos, especially those taken by phones or devices with GPS technology, contain tags that reveal exactly where the photos were snapped. In other words, if a parent takes a photo of his or her child playing at home and then posts it online, it's possible for strangers to know exactly where they live. A few simple steps can dramatically reduce your chances of falling victim, and there's no need to give up photo-sharing altogether. Here are a few steps everyone should take to protect themselves and their families when posting photos online: 1. Check your privacy settings. Facebook and many
other social networking sites give users options when it comes to who can view their photos and personal information. On Facebook, users can specify that they want only their "friends" to view their photos, or "friends of friends," or "everyone." (To check your settings, log in to your account and go to "privacy settings.") 2. Know who your real friends are. 3. Disable GPS technology before taking photos with a smartphone if you plan to post the photos online. 4. Become an anti-social media supporter, like me. Try it. See if you can go 24 hours without email, cellphone or internet access. Let’s face it; we’re dependent on the damn devices which we believe will enrich our way of life. Actually, we’re at the mercy of Apple, Samsung and subordinate companies that mandate how we live. We need to take back our lives and talk to one another instead of text. We need to visit foreign countries and learn atypical languages. I have 56,987 unanswered emails in one account. Most are probably spam and hopefully not from someone I care about. Please keep this in mind next time you are awaiting a reply, from anyone…especially me.

Arcadia Police Involved in High Speed Pursuit of Stolen Vehicle; Suspects Wanted On March 18, 2015 at about 2:18 a.m. Arcadia Police Department officers responded to the area of Mayflower Avenue and Jeffries Avenue on a report of two individuals with flashlights looking into vehicles. As an officer arrived in the area he located an occupied vehicle being driven by one male Hispanic. As they neared each other the suspect vehicle fled the area at a high rate of speed. A short pursuit ensued and the suspect
driver vacated the running vehicle near the intersection of Camino Real Street and California Avenue in the City of Duarte. A perimeter was set up with assisting area agencies in an attempt to locate the suspect, who was fleeing from officers during the pursuit. After searching the area the suspect was not located and the containment was dismantled. The suspect is a male Hispanic in his early 20s,

At the termination of the pursuit the vehicle driven by the suspect collided with two vehicles and this collision is being investigated by members of the California Highway Patrol.

Arcadia Rotary Club’s Salute to Seniors Luncheon The annual Salute to Seniors Luncheon sponsored by the Arcadia Rotary Club will be held on Tuesday, May 12, 2015 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Arcadia Community Center, 365 Campus Drive. At this special event, the Arcadia Rotary Club along with the City Council, Senior Commissioners and other guests will honor Jerry and Doris Selmer, the City of Arcadia 2015 Senior Citizens of the Year. About the honoree: The 2015 senior citizen of the year is the husband and wife team of Jerry and Doris Selmer. The Selmers have been the cornerstone of the Arcadia Public Library, serving as volunteers together for nearly 40 years. Jerry currently serves as the membership chairman for the Friends of the Arcadia Public Library and prior to this, served as the President for several years. Doris works alongside with Jerry, coordinating volunteers who establish the pricing for the Friends used bookstore and is in charge of restocking the store each day. In addition to their mutual commitment to the Library, they have been sup-
portive currently, and in the past, of other LA County organizations which have included: the Arcadia Historical Society, Autry Museum of Western Heritage, Southwest Museum, Natural History Museum of LA County, Arcadia High School PTA, Pasadena Philharmonic Society, and Historical Society of Southern California. The City of Arcadia is very proud of Jerry and Doris Selmer and thankful for their contributions of their time and talents to and for the community. They are certainly a reflection of this year’s Older Americans Theme of “Get into the Act of Volunteerism.” On behalf of the Arcadia Rotary Club and the City of Arcadia, it is a pleasure to announce Jerry and Doris Selmer as the 2015 Senior Citizens of the year. - Courtesy Photo

Attorneys for the City and Save the Arcadia Highlands Will Meet June 12 for a “Trial Setting Conference” Continued from page 1
6,000 square feet including a two-story home for the Highland Oaks Drive project. “It’s unfortunate that the city council didn’t listen to the citizens and their concerns about the mansionization that’s going on throughout the Highlands and the impact that it’s having on the neighborhood,” said David Arvizu, who heads the group Save the Arcadia Highlands. “That’s why we filed a lawsuit against the city.” Arvizu added that his group, which is the plaintiff in the lawsuit, is “basically looking for a judge to declare that these houses are not exempt from an environmental impact report, and that an environmental impact report needs to be done to find out the effect of what all these houses are doing cumulatively to our neighborhood environment.” John McClendon, attorney for the Highlands plaintiffs, said: “The immediate goal of this lawsuit is to have the court set aside the city’s approval of these two projects. The broader goal is to get the city to stop taking an ad hoc approach and look at this in a broader context ... and to show some respect and deference for the competency and concerns of the [homeowner association’s] Architectural Review Board.” On Tuesday Arcadia City Attorney Stephen Deitsch, City Manager Dominic Laz-

Instead, the City has approached each proposed mansionization project on a piecemeal, case-by-case basis and finding each one categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA.” The document also notes “190 other developerowned residential properties in the City for which similar proposals are expected.” Deitsch explained the local government’s opposition to applying a CEQA environmental impact review to the Orange Grove Avenue project in a Jan. 28 letter to City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto. The city attorney observed that project opponents have “submitted no evidence that the Project will result in a cumulatively considerable increase in traffic, water or energy usage, instead offering only speculation. Argument, speculation, and unsubstantiated narrative do not constitute ‘substantial evidence’ under CEQA and cannot be relied upon by the City.”
that the “Project ... is consistent with the City’s planning and zoning laws for the Project site and overall area and thus would not contribute (cumulatively or otherwise) to a level of development beyond that which has already been evaluated under CEQA as part of the City’s General Plan and, in particular, its 2013 Housing Element Update process.” Referring to what he deemed as precedent set by a prior court case, McClendon focused on actual “conditions on the ground” rather than a city’s hypothetical development plan as the main indicator of whether or not CEQA regulations should apply. McClendon centered his argument on what the court document describes as the “39 mansionization projects [that] are reasonably foreseeable based on the acquisition by known developers of smaller, older homes in Arcadia” such as 29 E. Orange Grove Ave. and 1600 Highland Oaks Drive. “That’s cumulative,” McClendon said. “The exception to the [CEQA] exemption is for exactly this kind of case. ... You need to take a look at what would be the consequences of doing this plus what else is reasonably foreseeable.” However, Deitsch further concluded: “Simply listing other new single family homes in the Arcadia High-
an Arcadia law, “Resolution 6770,” that grants design review authority to the city’s five homeowner associations. The law specifically references privacy concerns as an important factor toward determining the fate of a proposed construction project. “The design review authority granted to the [homeowner associations] is a subjective standard of compatibility and harmony, based on mass, scale, height, length, width and architectural style relative to neighboring structures,” the court document explains. It goes on to note that “the Council did not address, discuss, or otherwise comment on whether or not the proposed projects were designed and articulated to protect the privacy and views of surrounding homes and yards.” At the Highland Homeowners Association’s Feb. 3 appeal hearing, Council Member Roger Chandler said the association’s opposition to the projects was “unreasonable” and thus unworthy of council support. “The home that’s proposed there is a well-done, nice home.” Chandler said.
“I hear a lot about property rights, ‘defend our property rights,’” the council member added, referring to the previous homeowners who he said sold to Bowden Development Inc. for a higher price than private individual homebuyers were offering. “What about the people that own the property that have some skin in the game?” Chandler continued. “This is where the rub is, that there’s
a problem. For most people this is the most valuable thing that they own, is their real estate. They’re either going to use it to retire or they’re going to pass it on to their children.” Attorneys for the city and Save the Arcadia Highlands will meet June 12 for a “trial setting conference” or TSC at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, McClendon said.
Periodontal disease is one of the most underdiagnosed and undertreated health issues. Periodontal disease has adverse effects in all aspects of overall health (arthritis, heart disease, COPD, gastrointestinal, Alzheimer’s, etc...) Over 47% of people 35 years and older have periodontal disease (64% of those people are 65 years and older). It’s imperative to seek a professional to evaluate your status. As a board certified periodontist with 30+ years’ experience, and an associate professor at Loma Linda School of Dentistry Graduate Periodontics, I am at the forefront of treatment options to evaluate your periodontal status.

zaretto and council members declined to comment on the lawsuit. Several officials cited the city’s policy that they not speak publicly about pending litigation. Echoing a key point in the homeowner association’s appeal to the council, the lawsuit hinges on enforcing compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, which requires a study of a development’s long-term and short-term impacts on the local environment. “Despite the City’s approval of plans for nearly
“Things that are very close to the experience of neighbors such as traffic, aesthetics, noise impacts, things of that sort — the testimony of eyewitnesses there can constitute substantial evidence under CEQA,” said McClendon. “You’re not talking about, for example, air quality impacts where you have to have measurements ... that require a scientist,” he added. “What the neighbors experience, what the neighbors know can constitute substantial evidence.” Deitsch also contended

lands area ... that [opponents think] might cause significant cumulative impacts is not evidence that the Project will have adverse impacts or that the impacts are cumulatively considerable. Ultimately, [opponents’] assertion that significant cumulative impacts will occur simply because other new homes have been approved within Arcadia Highlands does not trigger the cumulative impacts exception in State CEQA Guidelines.” The lawsuit also claims the council’s approval of the Highlands projects violates

Temple City Runs Away With 6-1 Victory Over Pasadena By jacob bigley Temple City had the quicker bats against Pasadena High School, allowing them to jump out to an early lead. The hot hands came from Temple City’s Jake LeGrand and Josh Speakes, who each had three hits in the contest. Starting Temple City Pitcher Kevin Chavez recorded the win, pitching five complete innings and allowing only one run. The run came from Pasadena’s starting pitcher, Niko Lopez, who hit a solo-homerun in the 4th.

Maranatha Crashes Out of CIF State Championships After Falling to Crespi High School By Vincent Nguyen After going over a month without experiencing the taste of defeat, the Maranatha High School Boys’ Basketball team was unable to find their shooting stride and was knocked out of the CIF State Championships Tuesday night after losing to Crespi Carmelite High School 65-52. “We came out running
in mud,” Maranatha head coach Tim Tucker said. “It looked like we didn’t have any energy.” The Minutemen looked promising after scoring their first two baskets, but couldn’t get into their scoring rhythm and couldn’t control the tempo. The start of a turnover-filled night begin early in the first quarter;
and the Crespi Celts took a 15-10 lead and never gave it up. Turnovers continued to plague the Minutemen in the second quarter, and the usual shooters--senior guards Tyler Dorsey and Tey Williams, and junior guard Sean Romero--were just ice cold. “Defense wasn’t there, and we just didn’t have it tonight,” said Tucker. “It just
didn’t look like my team.” Crespi continued to not only give the Maranatha defense a hard time, but the offense as well. The Celts locked down Dorsey, who was coming off of a career-high 52 point game against Chaminade over the weekend, while the red-hot Romero couldn’t find his comfort zone around the arc. Crespi was able to hold Dorsey out to 25 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.
“We wanted him to see a second guy every time he dribbled,” Crespi head coach Russell White said on locking down Dorsey. “These concepts weren’t massive game changers.” Maranatha players started out the third quarter with two steals, but couldn’t capitalize on their efforts. Crespi continued to exploit the Minutemen as they were attempting to find their stride after turning the ball
over multiple times. Maranatha’s situation got worse as junior guard Zachary Smalley fouled out early in the fourth quarter. With chances to rally a comeback win, Crespi closed the Minutemen down and defended their lead for the remainder of the game. Crespi will roll through to the CIF regional finals, facing Campbell Hall for a chance at the state finals in Berkeley, CA.

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.

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.
dex indicates the number of months needed to sell the supply of homes on the market at the current sales rate. A six- to seven-month supply is considered typical in a normal market. • The median number of days it took to sell a single-family home shortened in February, down from a 52.4 days in January to 47 days in February but up from 40.1 days in February 2014. • According to C.A.R.’s newest housing market indicator measuring sales-to-list price ratio, properties are again generally selling below the list price, except in the San Francisco Bay Area, where a lack of homes for sale is keeping sales prices in line with original asking prices. The statewide measure suggests that homes are selling at a median of 97.7 percent of the list price, down slightly from a ratio of 98.2 percent at the same time last year. The Bay Area is the only region where homes are selling above original list prices due to constrained supply with a ratio of 104.2 percent. • The average California price per square foot for an existing single-family home was $210 in February 2015, an increase of 2.5 percent from the previous month and a 4.1 percent increase from February 2014. Price per square foot at the state level has been showing an upward trend since early 2012, and has been rising on a year-over-year basis for 37 consecutive months. In recent months, however, the growth rate in price per square foot has slowed down significantly as home prices leveled off. San Francisco County had the highest price per square foot in February at

since early 2014. The median sales price is the point at which half of homes sold for more and half sold for less; it is influenced by the types of homes selling as well as a general change in values. “The California housing market regained some traction in February as sales activity improved on a yearover-year basis for the second time in three months,” said A.A.R. CEO Andrew Cooper. “At the state level, the market is moving in the right direction as the growth of sales continues its upward trend and home prices start stabilizing. At the regional level, however, the San Francisco Bay Area continued to be hampered by constrained inventory and low housing affordability.” Other key facts from C.A.R.’s February 2015 resale housing report include: • The available supply of existing, single-family detached homes for sale statewide in February was unchanged from the five months reported in January. The index was 4.7 months in February 2014. The in-

sonal factors that typically influence home sales. “While February’s statewide improvement in the housing market was moderate, it’s an encouraging sign, nevertheless, as we head into the spring homebuying season,” said 2015 A.A.R. President Joe Pacilio. “On the supply side, housing inventory improved overall with active listings growing at a faster pace of 5.3 percent when compared to last February. Regionally, both active listings in Southern California and Central Valley increased moderately from last year, while housing supply declined 10 percent in the Bay Area.” The median price of an existing, single-family detached California home was essentially flat from January’s median price, inching up from $426,660 in January to $428,970 in February. February’s median price was 5.5 percent higher than the revised $406,460 recorded in February 2014. While the statewide median home price is higher than a year ago, the rate of increase has narrowed significantly

Slowing home price appreciation and improving inventory combined to boost California’s housing market in February as existing home sales and median home prices increased from both the previous month and year, the ARCADIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (A.A.R.) said Tuesday.. Closed escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes in California totaled a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 368,160 units in February, according to information collected by C.A.R. from more than 90 local REALTOR® associations and MLSs statewide. Sales in February were up 4.7 percent from a revised 351,480 in January and up 2.4 percent from a revised 359,600 in February 2014. The year-over-year increase was the largest observed since December 2012.

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.

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.

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, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www. nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9448-7504.

CA Leading Nation to Stop Growing Energy Waste, Say Top Consumer Experts
By heather backstrom, ed.d.
California Energy Commission to Set New Goals for Computer, Display Efficiency
We all enjoy some kind of reward at work. It makes us feel good and it’s a great motivator. It’s also safe to say employees aren’t motivated by the same things. What motivates one person doesn’t necessarily motivate another. That means to be effective managers have to make rewards personalized. The good news is, though, research suggests there are five factors that generally motivate employees. They are: appreciation for a job well done; interesting work; growth opportunities; enjoyable work relationships; and good pay. Let’s look at how leaders can use these rewards to foster employee motivation. -Appreciation for a Job Well Done: Recognizing good work isn’t limited to special occasions like when a big project is completed. Rather it can be done routinely through the simple yet powerful words, “thank you.” If you’re a manager make it a point to thank at least one employee each day for the effort they put in. -Interesting Work: When

employees enjoy what they’re doing they’re more motivated to do it. Pay attention to how interested your employees are in their work. Does it make them feel fulfilled? Does it use their talents and skills? Be sure to periodically ask employees how they feel about their work and if there’s other assignments that would interest them. If there are, then look for ways to crosstrain the employee or to outright assign the responsibility to them. -Growth Opportunities: People tend to like to learn new things. Growth doesn’t always have to mean moving up in the organization, it definitely includes lateral movement. That is, taking a job that is at the same level. Doing so is a great reward that adds to the breadth of an employee’s skills and can set them up for promotional opportunities in the future. -Enjoyable Work Relationships: Trust, good communication, respect and fun are just some characteristics that make for enjoyable and rewarding work relation-
ships. Modeling such behaviors is one way for a manager to encourage them in the workplace. -Good Pay: After all of their hard work employees like to be paid well. A paycheck is an indicator of efforts and contributions, so being paid fairly is a reward that is a motivator. But a paycheck alone is not enough of a reward to create motivation. When a person is paid well but they’re not appreciated, don’t find the work interesting, aren’t given opportunities to grow and have unsatisfying work relationships then likely their motivation is stifled. Good pay must be combined with other factors that are rewarding and motivating. Use these reward factors to generate motivation in your organization.

California is taking the first steps toward setting new goals for a growing source of energy waste in the state, say top consumer experts. Today the California Energy Commission (CEC) made public new proposed energy efficiency standards for computers, monitors and displays, which could save California consumers $430 million annually on their utility bills by the year 2023. “We applaud the California Energy Commission for proposing new standards that appear to be consumer and industryfriendly, will save energy and lower total pocketbook costs,” said Mark Cooper, director of research for the Consumer Federation of America (CFA). “We will examine the standards in detail and look forward to participating in the proceeding, but our initial reading leads us to conclude that the proposed standards exhibit the characteristics that our research shows result in effective consumer and energy savings.” Computers, monitors and displays in California represent about five-percent of electricity consumption in the commercial and residential sector, according to the CEC. A 2014 analysis
by CFA found that between the years 2000 and 2013, the amount of electricity gobbled up by computers, game consoles and network connectivity devices increased more than five-fold in the U.S., reaching an average of 800 kWh per year per household. The proposed standards, projected by the state to save enough energy to power all the homes in San Francisco county in 2013, call for significant energy efficiency innovation in desk-top computers starting in 2018, upgrades to small-scale servers and workstations in 2017, and efficiency improvements to the most inefficient notebook computers starting in 2017. “California has set the energy efficiency bar for the nation on everything from vehicles to buildings to refrigerators. A consumerdriven standard for desktop computer efficiency should do no less,” said Shannon Baker-Branstetter, policy counsel for Consumers Union, the policy arm of Consumer Reports. CFA and CU find that the targets now being proposed by the CEC are: -Strong and reasonable. -Consistent with the marketplace. -Afford manufactur-

ers considerable flexibility, thereby stimulating competition to meet the standards in the least cost manner. -In line with regulations being adopted globally, but exercises leadership in achieving energy savings and environmental goals. “As this important proceeding commences, we must again thank Governor Brown for vetoing a piece of legislation (AB 2581) that would have certainly delayed this day and likely weakened the standards that the Commission would have proposed. We hope that this process will proceed quickly and provide the model for developing standards across the full array of household digital devices that account for a large and growing part of consumer electricity bills,” said Cooper. The California Energy Commission plans to hold a workshop on April 15, 2015 to discuss the contents of its new analysis and proposal. The proposed new standards are part of the Title 20 proceedings to increase energy efficiency in appliances sold in California. California energy efficiency policies have saved consumers more than $74 billion since Title 20 was first adopted in the 1970s.

PUSD Parent Leaders Honored at Pasadena Education Network’s 7th Annual Wine Tasting Event The Pasadena Education Network (PEN) will host PEN’s 7th Annual Wine Tasting on Sunday, April 12, at Claud Beltran’s Bacchus’ Kitchen, 1384 E. Washington Blvd., Pasadena from 5 – 8 p.m. The event includes red and white wines donated by Everson Royce, eclectic appetizers donated by Beltran, live music provided by the Pasadena High School Jazz Band, and a silent auction. A boutique Whiskey Tasting experience will allow guests to enjoy a flight and cocktail. PEN is a network of more than 1,000 parents
who support and send their children to Pasadena Unified School District schools. The grassroots nonprofit promotes family participation in public education in Pasadena, Altadena and Sierra Madre, and believes that parent and community involvement are essential to building strong schools for all students. Annually, PEN recognizes parent leaders who represent the type of involvement for which they advocate. This year, four outstanding parent volunteers are being honored. Steve Cole is the Presi-

dent of Invest In PUSD Kids, a grassroots organization that aims to bring the community together to invest more of its resources, time and talents to support our public schools. Steve was a pivotal force in bringing the 8th Guiding Principle campaign to the Pasadena General Plan, lobbying for the Community Schools pilot programs at Jackson and Madison Elementary schools, and campaigning for the Measure CC parcel tax. In addition to his community activism, Steve has served on the Longfellow and Blair PTAs, as well as PUSD’s PTA Council. Lydia Finkley is the District Advisory Council (DAC) Chair for PUSD, a district level advisory group of School Site Council representatives. She serves on numerous school site and district level committees including the LCAP Work Group and Parent Advisory Council, and the Master Planning Team. She began volunteering at Field elementary school where she developed a GATE program, and went on to serve on the PTA, and School Site Council of not only Field, but Norma Coombs and Wil-
son Middle School. She is a frequent speaker at PEN’s “Parents As Leaders” programs. Mikala Rahn has dedicated her life to public education both professionally and personally. As a PUSD parent, Mikala has served on the Sierra Madre School PTA (where she eventually become President), School Site Council, and the Advisory Board for the Muir Ranch. She expanded her focus beyond her children’s school to join the PUSD Board of Education in 2013 where she serves on the Master Planning, Facilities, and Safety committees. Annually, Mikala leads PEN’s “Choosing an Elementary School That’s Right for Your Child” program. Tom Selinske began his volunteer work at PUSD when his children were students in the district. He was so passionate about improving education for all students that he eventually ran for school board. He has served on the PUSD school board since 2007 and was elected school board President from 2008-2010. Tom has supported the facility and technology needs
of PUSD, the promotion of Linked Learning Pathways and other career technical education, has led efforts for Board reform around improved board processes and protocols, and more. Kids Klub Pasadena will provide free childcare for children of attendees who contact them no later than April 3 at 5 p.m. Tickets for the Wine Tasting are $75; $100 ticket includes the Whiskey Tasting. Sponsorships and opportunities to recognize the event honorees are available at www. penfamilies.org. Wine is

Do you want your child to Assemblywoman Chang’s Resolution Promoting Women in STEM Passes Assembly Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang (R-Diamond Bar) announced the State Assembly passed Assembly Concurrent Resolution 17, which will designate April 5th-11th as Women and Girls in STEM Week. STEM, which includes studies within the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, is underrepresented by women and girls. “The good news is women in STEM careers earn a third more than those in nonSTEM occupations. STEM can literally be a life-raft to pull women and girls out of poverty and into the middleclass,” said Assemblywoman Chang. “The unfortunate news is that women are underrepresented in these critical fields by pretty dramatic
numbers.” California has large gender disparities in the STEM fields – especially in computer science and engineering. Only 15 percent of California engineering graduates are women and the workforce mirrors these numbers. ACR 17 will call attention this issue and call on all Californians and community organizations to encourage and celebrate women in the STEM fields, as well as support girls participating in STEM education. Despite disparities, there are many California female leaders who represent the STEM community and serve as role models for young girls preparing for STEM careers. History is full of women who excelled in
THRIVE?
the STEM disciplines such as Grace Murray Hopper, a pioneer in her field and credited for inventing the first computer language compiler. ACR 17 also seeks to celebrate the accomplishments of current, as well as historical female leaders in STEM. “The number of STEM jobs in California will grow by 19 percent over the next decade,” said Chang. “Any strategy to promote STEM needs women’s strategy that encourages young girls at every step along the path to employment in the STEM fields.” Prior to serving in the State Assembly, Chang was the President & CEO of the Youth Science Center, a nonprofit science education organization that focuses on STEM education.

Roy Boulghhourjian - Pumping New Blood into the PUSD by may ruiz His inspiring immigrant success story began inauspiciously halfway around the world. Today, he is an elected member of the Pasadena Unified Schools District’s Board of Directors. Roy Boulghourjian fled Lebanon in October of 1982 to escape the civil war. His early years in the US were spent in the construction industry where he toiled for two years. He later moved on to a better job in the diamond wholesale business and worked as an appraiser, sorter and sales manager. Grateful for the new life and opportunity that he had been given, Roy decided to give back to the community. Through his church in Glendale, he volunteered to teach ESL (English as Second Language) to immigrants on welfare. This was when the teaching bug
bit him. Roy left a well-paying post in the jewelry business and proceeded to teach full time. He taught high school Math and Economics in both public and private sector. He then went on to serve as vice principal for two private high schools, in Pasadena and Canoga Park, where he stayed for several years. During this time, Roy also got involved in Pasadena politics and became a board member of the Pasadena Educational Foundation (PEF). He currently sits on the Finance Audit Committee of PEF and the Measure TT Citizen’s Bond Oversight, and ACT Pasadena. In 2011, he was invited to be Principal for a Day at Marshall Fundamental School and witnessed the Pasadena high school experience first-hand. He was
pleasantly surprised at what he learned: He realized that all the gloom and doom he had been hearing about the Pasadena educational system was unfounded. This singular experience led him to start visiting various high schools in Pasadena. Everywhere he went, he found teachers who were caring, knowledgeable and capable of educating young minds. He met students who were polite, diligent and ambitious. Roy started advocating for Pasadena public schools. Roy joined Mt. Sierra College in 2011 as Adjunct Professor of Math and Economics. In two years, he moved up to become Department Chair of the Business and General Education Department. The eye-opening experience Roy had the day he served as principal re-
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced that the State Board of Education voted unanimously to suspend the Academic Performance Index (API) for the 2014-15 school year as the state develops a more comprehensive accountability system based on multiple measures rather than a single index. “One of my top priorities is developing an accountability system that meets California’s needs by looking at a broad range of measures defining student and school success,
rather than relying on just one test,” said Torlakson. “This will give us a complete picture rather than a narrow view.” Even though the API is being suspended, Torlakson pointed out that results from the first administration of California Assessment of Student Progress and Performance or CAASPP tests, which are currently being given to students statewide, will be reported to districts, teachers, parents, and the public. The board acted on Torlakson’s recommendation as well as that of the Public
Schools Accountability Act Advisory Committee that called for the development of a new accountability system to rate school performance. The new system would be designed to focus on multiple indicators, such as graduation data and student preparedness for college and career, and not only on test scores. The advisory committee also reported that because the transition to such a system will be a long-term process, the earliest an accountability report could be produced is fall of 2016.
