The Power of a Wave There he stood, right in the middle of the street. He was nonchalantly smoking his cigarette and talking on his cell phone. I mean right in the middle, between the northbound and southbound traffic. At a major intersection. There was no divide, just a yellow line. The southbound were sitting still but the easterlymoving were now turning, right in front of him. He didn't flinch, just took another drag between words. Some of the drivers panicked when they turned and suddenly saw him standing there. They hit brakes. Their own screeched, the sound added upon by those behind. He waved them on, never looking up. The drivers waved too as they maneuvered around him. Theirs were not friendly waves. The light changed. He casually strolled across the remaining half of the street. The phone never left his ear.

The cigarette did leave his lips. He flipped it in front of my car. My green light came on and I started forward. I was sure his cigarette was going to lodge in my tire tread. It would then flip up against my gas tank. There would be a terrible explosion and I would be in little pieces, scattered all over the intersection of Baldwin Avenue and Duarte Road. I glanced to my left to see if the car in the next lane was close enough to be affected by the explosion. It was starting forward with me. The driver was stretched up to the rear view mirror applying her lipstick. Her car was moving into my lane. I realized I might not live to explode. I beeped my horn. She smiled and waved at me. I admit, I waved back -a one handed, one fingered wave. It wasn't a friendly wave, but it sure made me feel good.

One of the single most important responsibilities of a manager is to develop the skills of their employees. In turn, one of the single most important things an employee can do is to take the initiative to build their skills. And the true power of skill development occurs when the manager and employee are in partnership. Taking action now to build skills is the foundation for success. Cross-training is one way to build skills. Employees who know how to do multiple jobs find work not only more interesting, but it positions them for career advancement. They get to know more about how the organization operates and how to work with a wide cross-section of people. The organization benefits because cross-training develops a workforce that is multi-talented, with employees who can fill in on a pinch. Mentoring is another way to build skills, by learning from a seasoned professional. While mentoring may traditionally be

thought of as something associated with the early part of one’s career, the value of it actually transcends the entire lifecyle of an employee. In other words, employees with all levels of experience can benefit from a strong mentor. The value of mentoring includes retention, succession planning, job satisfaction and knowledge transfer. Another way to build skills is through job enrichment where the responsibilities, authority, and decision-making level of the employee are increased all within the scope of their current job. Examples of job enrichment include special projects, committee work, and serving on a cross functional team. Job enrichment not only builds skills but enhances morale and satisfaction. Often times we associate skill development with a promotion, but in fact lateral movement can do the same. Moving laterally offers greater challenges, use of new skills, and the opportunity to work with other

people. Creating an action plan is the key to skill development. Ideally, it’s a collaborative plan designed by the manager and employee. A plan demonstrates commitment from both parties which creates the groundwork for success. An effective plan specifically captures the nature, scope, and timing of the skill development strategy, along with an overarching goal and objectives. The plan then becomes a roadmap for the manager and employee. Take action today for skill development. If you’re a manager, ask what you can do to build the skills of your staff. If you’re an employee, ask what you can do to enhance your own skills. Then, work together to create a plan.

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com MR. DURSTON’S LETTER LOADED WITH FALSEHOODS Dear Editor: What an ordeal reading Mr. Durston’s letter about the unionizing process presently underway at HM Hospital; it is all over the place. The author himself is falling victim to the very thing he is accusing Mr. Grula of. Mr. Grula’s article was concise and did not even mention the national “Egg in the Face” HMH administration received in last years’ Consumer Report publication. The magazine researched mandatory reportable adverse events of 450 California hospitals Medicare records. HMH was on the bottom of the list with two small hospitals below them. Administration freaked and accused the magazine of lying. Now I ask you what beef would they have with HMH. During the last Joint Commission the hospital scored very poorly on patients’ safety. All of my statements can be learned online. Mr. Durston’s article is loaded with so many falsehoods that it is mind-

boggling how misinformed he is about unions. Maybe he should talk to one of the many police officers he encounters at HMH before feeling the compulsion to share his ignorance with the public at large. Let me clarify things: Mr. Durston is an RRT and according to his job description not even eligible to vote. This concerns only the registered nursing staff, who reached out in desperation to the union due to the fact that they did not have enough supplies and staffing to provide optimal patient care. Mr. Durston’s duties are not to be compared to the care the nurses provide. His scope of responsibility involves supervising patients on respirators, dealing with blood gases, and other respiratory procedures. You seriously have to ask yourself what is his motive to spreading so much misinformation. He probably was part of the group of employees from the non-nursing departments galvanized by HMH administration to verbally abuse the pro-union nurses

and supporters like Pasadena Council Members and clergy at a recent rally. I have worked at HMH for many years and experienced firsthand their management style. They take their nursing staff for granted, totally forgetting that their jobs would become obsolete without their nursing staff. How can Mr. Durston, who had only one job for 40 years at the same institution, even be qualified to know what other places are like? 40 years of limitation. For 10 years none of us saw an increase in salary or cost of living, compounded by inflation and cancellation of the pension plan. HMH is so far behind the rest of the market place it is not even funny. I worked in surgery and it was not unusual that you got your first break six hours into your working day. The work pace was relentless and stressful. HMH has very dedicated nurses who presently get intimidated and harassed by administration. I was already unionized

in 1975 working at Mount Sinai in New York. By law the hospital administration could not take the health insurance away, nor can they change it to an HMO, they have to abide what was in place before unionization. The dues are the amount of ONE hour of your base rate biweekly. That only increases when your rate goes up. A small price to pay, taking into consideration that you will be represented without the hospital management being able to pull rank. As a union member you can only strike during negotiations of a new contract, which happens usually every three to four years. Nurses at HMH have no input in the decision making process regarding their patients’ care; this would change if the majority of nurses are voting for the union. Union or no union, the hospital management would be well advised to institute lasting changes to improve patients’ care and their staffs’ benefits and salaries, instead of trying to turn a profit. Nice try Mr. Durston, but totally misguided! -Christina Gold, SRN, RN, CNOR PASADENA

Reader Encourages Pasadena to Vote Salzer for Mayor Dear Editor: As Bill Bogaard is receiving major accolades for 14 years of “great” service, he is unaccountably leaving City Hall in the throes of years of unchecked runamuck rampant-thievery, with teens and others unaccountably dead due to more than a century of continued unchecked police brutality, all while potential Mayor Jacque Robinson and Terry Tornek were also “seated”

with him in City Hall. Clearly, more than anyone else, Pasadena REALLY NEEDS Robin Salzer in our Mayor’s office! About Tornek’s slogan, “Keep Pasadena great!”-from whose perspective? What’s “great” about more than $6 million “stolen” on your and Ms. Robinson’s watch during the majority of Bogaard’s terms? With Ms. Robinson doing little other than running for Mayor throughout the entirety of her eight Council years! So, what’s going to happen? Same old story: most Whites are going to vote for Tornek, most Blacks are going to vote for Robinson, while most Hispanics and other minorities “split” their votes, or, “sit” with their votes! Then, whoever “wins,” with a very-small voter- turnout will do as Bogaard: nothing of real value or consequence! So, this “radical” says: Pasadena voters, everybody of all colors, go into your voting-booth, and overwhelmingly write-in Robin Salzer for Mayor! Then, all of us, of all colors, will work with him to bring all of our businesses “up” to his viable and GIVING business standard! With he and his wife running Pasadena’s City Hall, finally, this wealthy city will be able to put an end to hunger and homelessness in what for over a century has potentially been the “greatest” city in our nation! Now, Pasadena, if you do this, you just might be setting the stage for, and totally-changing, what happens in our 2016 national Presidential-election. Because it’s obvious: most present local & National Democrat and Republican incumbents and

With our de-facto segregation and police brutality the reasons, Jackie Robinson would not even consider living in Pasadena after his stellar career!

Teen Died Trying to Rescue Girl from Drowning A Long Beach Poly High school student died trying to save a girl from drowning at Hermit Falls in the San Gabriel Mountains, according to multiple reports on Thursday. Jesse Yuth, 18, jumped 50 feet from a cliff into the water with the girl, who could not swim, during a spring break hike Wednesday, friends said. The female got into trouble in the ice-cold water and he tried to help. Some other friends jumped in to try and rescue the pair, but Yuth ended up getting trapped for around five minutes, according to a report on KABC TV. "He tried to save a girl. He got hurt in the process," his cousin, David Chum, said. "We jumped in, me and another man. I saved the girl but he couldn't get Jesse." Yuth had posted a video of himself making a

daring leap into a mountain pool on an earlier trip. He had headed to the Angeles Forest with a group of relatives and friends, hiking from Chantry Flats to Hermit Falls. The Long Beach Poly High wrestling program said it “suffered a tragic loss on Wednesday when 18-year-old senior Jesse Yuth died in a Hermit Falls diving accident in Angeles National Forest.”

“He could do more pushups than all of Long Beach,” Poly wrestling head coach Michael Hughes said of Yuth, who was also involved in ROTC, Mr. & Mrs. Jackrabbit Pageant and other on-campus clubs. Yuth's ROTC mentor Sgt. Robert Donovan said he was the best future soldier he'd ever worked with. The Long Beach recruiting station is planning to honor him with a memorial.

Pasadena Holocaust Survivor Honored at Capitol Ceremony In a moving ceremony Monday at the State Capitol, Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena) honored Holocaust survivor Ike Langholz of Pasadena, whose nightmarish journey through the Nazi occupation of Poland was recounted on the Assembly floor as part of Holocaust Remembrance Week. "I am honored to be able to share Ike Langholz' story of survival in the face of incredible pain and suffering at the hands of the Nazis," said Assemblymember Holden. "Ike lived through extreme persecution and horrific experiences during this agonizing dark history. The number of survivors is dwindling, so we are here today to raise awareness of these dark events and hon-

or Ike for his courage and his willingness to tell his story." Ike's story began as 8-year-old along the Poland/ Ukraine border. Following the Nazi conquest of Poland in 1939, any sense of normalcy became impossible. Jews were beaten and forced to work in labor camps or killed simply because they were Jews. Three of Ike's six brothers and sisters, as well as his mother, grandmother, and other family members, were killed by the Nazi SS. Ike and his brother Sam ran away from the labor camp where they had been forced to work as slave labor and hid in the woods, surviving on potatoes and sugar beets and their own skills. With the liberation of the

camps by Russian troops in the waning days of World War II, Ike and his brother, two sisters and their father made their way to a displaced persons camp in Germany. There he learned a trade as an electrician and said he "learned to be human again." Ike and his brother arrived in Pasadena in 1951 and soon got jobs and later owned a small retail business. He married Faye Chason, and they have four children and six grandchildren. The now 88-year-old survivor looks back on those years and says it is important to remember: "For decades I was silent, but I and other survivors have an important story to tell so that no child will have to deal with the hatred and violence that my family experienced."

CAL FIRE and California National Guard Train in the Air Annual Training Prepares Military Pilots for Firefighting Mission As California enters its fourth year of drought, CAL FIRE and the California National Guard held their annual fire aviation training in preparation for the peak fire season ahead. The training this year was held last week at the CAL FIRE Academy in Ione and Lake Pardee in Amador County. “As the drought continues to create extreme fire conditions, it is more important than ever to train with our partners in order to be prepared for our state’s inevitable wildfires,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, director of CAL FIRE. “During years of high fire activity, the assistance from the California National Guard has been vital in aiding us battle large, damaging fires.” CAL FIRE and the California National Guard have worked in cooperation for over three decades, enabling CAL FIRE to augment its helicopter fleet during times when the department

is battling numerous large wildfires at the same time. The training that the National Guard pilots and crewmembers receive includes basic incident management, firefighting operations and safety. “Cal Guard aircraft and crews train throughout the year so we’ll be ready when fire season inevitably arrives,” said Maj. Gen. David S. Baldwin, Adjutant General of the California National Guard. “But this is a team effort, and the annual training in Ione is critical in making sure we stay in sync with CAL FIRE and all our partner agencies in keeping Californians safe.”

The most effective way to teach crews is by utilizing the tools they will have while fighting a wildfire, including water. In order to conserve the water the crews will use, the staff will work closely with local water districts to identify drop areas in ravines and drainages that will allow the water to work its way back into the lake.

CAL FIRE will hold similar trainings with the United States Marine Corps and Navy. “Military pilots have skills we can draw upon when we need assistance on firefighting missions,” said Chief Ken Pimlott. CAL FIRE has the largest aerial firefighting fleet in the world, with over 50 aircraft, including 11 UH-1H Super Huey helicopters.

Pasadena Resident Says Armenian Genocide Memorial violates all ethical and legal standards By richard m. vartaniann Editor’s Note: The City of Pasadena plans to unveil the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial at Memorial Park on April 18th, just ahead of the 100th anniversary of the April 24, 1915 Genocide. The design chosen in April 2013 was approved by the City Council on Sept. 9, 2013. Ground was broken for the site on Sunday, Jan. 25, 2015. The City of Pasadena can evict this $400,000 memorial on 30-days’ notice. Per license agreement no. 22,112, willfully, deliberately, and insanely agreed to and illegally signed by PPD Sgt. Greg Afsharian for the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee (PAGMC). Common sense clearly dictates and confirms that License No. 22,112 violates all ethical and legal standards. No sane business person would ever sign a License/ Lease for their private enterprise with 30-Day Eviction of their $400,000 investment. The City Attorney conceded on 26th March 2015 that any future hostile City administration (or Court challenge) could evict this Memorial. These are facts: the City failed to lawfully follow, and violated, these four City Charter sections requiring: Approval of the Voters, City Council Approval and Public Comment, Competitive Bidding, and Prohibiting Illegal (conflict of) Interest of Involved Parties. Eviction would be at Armenian expense. A victory for Turkish denialists and their friends! State law and Pasadena ordinances require full disclosures when soliciting charitable donations. This means the PAGMC must law-

fully disclose to all Donors this essential and material fact that their donations are being illegally invested in this Memorial that has a revolving life-span of only 30 days. This Memorial is not permanent, as touted to donors and as they expect. This is one of many PAGMC failures to disclose. Any PAGMC failures to disclose to any Donor(s) that this Memorial can be evicted on 30-Day Notice, or any failures to disclose any other material facts to any Donor(s), would be violations of State law and constitute fraud! Noteworthy Additional Facts: -The illegal building permit, which was illegally extended on 11th Dec. 2014 by the City Building Official, via “illegal insider manipulation” in violation of the California Building Code. -Violations of California Corporation Code governing corporate conduct compliance. -Violations of California Business & Professional Code and The Supervision of Trustees for Charitable Donations. -Violations of California Code RE: Charitable Organizations Audits. -Violations of California Penal Code RE: Illegal Lotteries, Sections 319/320/321. -Violations of IRS Regulations RE: Disclosures and prohibiting co-mingling political campaigning. -Violation of Pasadena Voters Civil Right to Vote; per the below bullet point. -Give-Away of City Property and Assets to a private entity, reeking of favoritism not available to other ethnic groups. -Violations (multiple) of

City and Pasadena Police Department Personnel Policies. -The failure of the City of Pasadena to enforce: State Law, City Ordinances, and City and Pasadena Police Department policies. City of Pasadena and Police Department personnel, present and former, are deeply and unethically involved in these above violations kept hidden from the public. Unfortunately, among them is a clique of persons of Armenian ancestry. The PAGMC Board Members are aware of the above violations and illegalities. They have chosen to ignore! They put themselves at personal risk. Each one can be sued, personally and collectively, by the California Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts. City Manager Michael J. Beck, Assistant City Attorney Julie Gutierrez, Assistant City Attorney Brad Fuller, and other City Department Heads or Staff, are either deeply involved in, or aware of, License No. 22,112 and its illegalities. Internal memos of 22nd Dec. 2014 and 7th Jan. 2015 addressed to City Manager Michael J. Beck tie Mr. Beck directly to illegal License No. 22,112, and to the $329,700 Performance Bond which caused a violation of the City Charter. This Memorial Scandal is significantly greater than Wooten’s $6.4 Million embezzlement as it goes directly to the heart of exposing the years of pervasive culture of corruption that exists in City Hall that made this Memorial Scandal possible. Wooten was larger only in dollar amount. It is important for read-

Saving on auto repairs just got a little easier.

ers to know that official documents supporting and confirming all stated herein have been obtained from the City of Pasadena via the California Public Records Act (Freedom of Information). Armed with these documented facts, complaints have been officially filed with the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Public Integrity Unit, the California State Bar, the California Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts, and the IRS. This presentation to readers about the Pasadena Genocide Memorial is not a trivial matter. It should be of grave concern to all voters of Pasadena and the State of California; to all citizens of the U.S.; and to all true Armenians! This is personal to me, being born in 1935. I am the eldest son of a Genocide survivor, hidden Anne-Frankstyle by my grandfather’s Turkish partner. Dad then became one of the “Orphans of the Genocide.” I am also the grandson and nephew of the top Armenian leaders in Sepastia province. Enver Pasha was acquainted with my Uncles, who were arrested 28 March 1915, murdered June 1915. Sepastiatsi Murad was a “dear brother”and fellow compatriot in the cause. Vartanian money funded the Mauser rifles and ammo that armed Murad and his Fedayee! All this is well-documented in books; the first a 1916 publication for the British Government, “The Treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire” by Viscount Bryce, plus many other books and online sources. Not many have this legacy pedigree and

"Beauty and the Beast" Backstage Hints at Spectacular Show to Come by Courtney blackburn

As evening falls on an industrial parking lot by a long, gray-faced former warehouse in Montclair, streetlights shine on cheerful children and parents, dressed warmly, pouring in and out of glowing glass doors. We're at premiere professional company Inland Pacific Ballet's studio--three large, white, cool rehearsal stages with high ceilings crossed by exposed wood beams, metal vents, and cooling fans, and a number of smaller rooms and nooks for every aspect of ballet, from sewing costumes to snacking. Inside the wood-floored lobby, few dancers are to be

seen. But a step inside the main studio reveals about 25 of them, both male and female in various colored leotards, tights, or sweatpants finishing up a series of leaps, twirls, and triumphant poses--and we've arrived at the backstage rehearsal for IPB's original ballet, "Beauty and the Beast." IPB, founded in 1994 by Southern California natives Victoria Koenig and Kevin Myers, is doing a completely original version of the famous fairytale. Based largely on the traditional story (not the Disney movie), this unique

ballet has the familiar Beauty and her Beast, but adds in Beauty's two selfish sisters, wolves, fairies, and gnomes. This particular version is the masterpiece of IPB's own choreographer, Clinton Rothwell. Clinton, English-born, retired from a successful professional career--performing for the San Francisco Ballet, Royal Ballet, Het National Ballet of Holland, and National Ballet of Canada--to teach his art to students and professionals alike. He was brought to IPB by Kevin Myers, who was actually one of Clinton's students! "Now he's my boss! I came to do a guest class and never left," Clinton chuckles. He, his wife, and Victoria Koenig watch the rehearsal studiously from the sidelines, ready to both correct and encourage their performers for this "Village Scene." The music stops, and everyone breathes heavily, hands on hips, perfect posture relaxing. Clinton, who looks the creative spirit he is with a grey beard, ponytail, HarleyDavidson shirt, silver earring, and flip-flops, has a clear vision of what he wants. He gets up to demonstrate-"Keep the wrist broken; I don't want to see the palms." The cast is given a "five-

minute break” and Clinton hands himself over for an interview. He brings out a thick sheath of papers that contain scribbling—it looks like a mix of sheet music and calculus formulas. He explains that every single movement in the entire ballet is planned; from the "port de bras" or arm movements to every sideways glance. With enthusiasm, Clinton hops up to take us through the very first scene of the ballet. He hunches his back, and heaves up and down as the Beast, describing all the while the curtains' (which will be painted like a forest) rise, the mist spreading the floor, and the riot of roses surrounding a solitary figure. His movement is fluid, animal, yet sorrowful--all describing the inner workings of the Beast. It's not hard to see that Clinton was, and still is, an artist of the finest caliber. We ask what allowed him to bring this vision to life. Clinton responds: "People [at IPB] gave more hours than they had to give. I'm very blessed." His love for IPB runs deep. "Well, [I'm here] because of Kevin. And Vicki ... These kids take criticism; they work hard ... I like to see good ballet; I like good work ... and when you have these people

in front of you, you don't get tired; you get inspired!" We then catch Meilu Zhai, formerly of the National Ballet of China, who is playing "Beauty." ("She's the spirit of the Beauty," Clinton emphasizes.) When asked what she likes about the role, Meilu pauses to think. "It's very challenging; all the choreography is very beautiful. Beauty’s a very brave girl--I like the character for that. "I hope, when people come, they can be inspired by how beautiful ballet is--not just the fairytale ballet, but the deep meaning--the inner story--of Beauty and the Beast." Audiences young and old will have a chance to see the "beauty" thanks to Inland Pacific Ballet's lovingly crafted and meticulously detailed show. At one hour and 45 minutes, IPB's "Beauty and the Beast" is shorter than IPB's last offering, "The Nutcracker." Ten performances are scheduled in four theaters from the San Gabriel Valley to the Inland Empire. Tickets, starting at $34

Los Angeles is definitely not a city known for its great pizza joints. Unlike places like Chicago, which prides itself on deep dish pies, you would not expect to go to anywhere in Los Angeles that might provide a unique and scrumptious pizza experience . . . until now. Venture out to Arcadia; yes, Arcadia. This is the city in which you will find some pizza nirvana. However, don’t drive too fast on Foothill Blvd, because you could drive right by the restaurant. From the outside, it is just another tiny business front on a long strip of the busy street that connects the foothill communities in the San Gabriel Valley. But, look closely, and you will see a small patio area and the “Zelo” sign above. I visited the restaurant for a weekday lunch. Zelo specializes in their pizzas and has a substantial lunch crowd even in the middle of the week. As most of the patrons sat inside on the overwhelmingly warm day, I decided to sit in their shaded patio area in front (which allows dogs). For that reason, I started chatting with some of the “regulars” (who also brought their dog) for a midday lunch break. Zelo offers this kind of relaxed comfort to each patron. What seems like a relatively small restaurant as you pass it by on the street is actually a fairly large business space (one that recently expanded to accommodate more pizza-hungry customers). There is no doubt

that the once San Franciscobased owner, Michael Freeman, has to be pleased with the success of his San Gabriel Valley restaurant. And as I discovered, he certainly should be proud of the product his restaurant produces. The signature dish that Zelo is known for best is its “corn pizza.” You read this right: corn pizza. As the

restaurant mentions on the website, all of their gourmet pizzas are prepared with cornmeal crust. The “corn pizza” goes a step beyond. Their best-selling pizza is made with fresh corn, balsamic marinated roasted red onions, mozzarella, and chives. The perfectly cooked crust crunches in your mouth as the melting mozzarella seems to blend idyllically with the roasted corn. In my opinion, it is the red onions that offer a tinge of flavor that matches masterfully with the other ingredients of the pizza.

The corn pizza at Zelo is one of the most unique food creations that I’ve ever tasted. Being someone who has tried pizza in some of the best pizza cities of our country, including New York City and Chicago, I have to happily admit that Zelo’s corn pizza could stand up with the best of them. But, Zelo has more to offer than pizza. It provides traditional Italian dishes including the house made meatballs (which I tried). Perfectly cooked, you can taste the homemade difference. And if you don’t feel like a slice of pizza when you visit, I’d suggest just a side order of the meatballs and their beet salad made with fresh beets, roasted walnuts, blue cheese, Balsamic vinaigrette, served on greens. What I like most about Zelo in Arcadia is that, different from the “trendy” or well-known pizza joints in other parts of Los Angeles, this restaurant provides incredibly reasonable prices. Also, the staff at Zelo seems to know the regular customers by name and that kind of friendly, personable service is invaluable in urban areas. Certainly worth trying, I am convinced – as I convinced myself with my initial visit – that once you try it for the first time, you will be coming back again soon. For more information on Zelo, call them at (626) 358-8298 or check out their website www.myzelopizza. info and visit them at 328 E Foothill Blvd, Arcadia, CA 91006.

On Saturday, April 25 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Santa Anita Racetrack, Truck Adventures will be hosting their second annual event for the Make A Wish Foundation of Greater Los Angeles. Truck Adventures is a unique fun filled event meant to bring families and children together in the community in which they live. Children of all ages will be able to get up close and personal with all types of trucks and other vehicles that they see every day on the road. Fire trucks, police cars, construction vehicles and many other vehicles will be on display

for children to see, explore, sit in the driver’s seat and talk to the individuals who drive these vehicles each and every day. Children will have the opportunity to rub elbows with Los Angeles’ every day heroes and talk to them about the vehicles and their experiences. There will also be booths for activities and several award winning food trucks. Some of last year’s participants include Toyota, Federal Express, Kraft Foods, Costco, Target, Home Depot, Colgate, Nickelodeon, Time Warner, DirecTV, City of Hope, AAA, Mitsubishi, City of Arcadia Police,

Fire & Public Works departments, Sunstate Equipment, Quinn Rental, Caltrans, Los Angeles Police Department Special Weapons & Tactics, Brinks Armored Trucks, US Forestry, Waste Management, Republic Services, Los Angeles County Fire Department, US Navy, Army and Marine Corps, California National Guard, Hertzberg-Davis Forensic Scientific Investigation Division, Los Angeles Port Police TransPORTer, City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation, and many more.

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.

LANAP Laser Therapy

LANAP laser therapy allows us to treat periodontal disease with a minimally invasive procedure that eliminates the need, in most cases, for conventional blade surgery (flap and osseous surgery).

Fairyland at the LA County Arboretum and Botanic Garden Have you ever seen magic left over from a rainstorm? Have you ever walked in a forest and thought you saw something little and enchanting out of the corner of your eye? Do you believe in Faeries? As children we believed in magic and knew in our hearts there was something enchanting out there; hidden, kind, beautiful, and filled with goodness. Do you remember these feelings? The yearning? If so, you too may have glimpsed Fairyland. A Faery Hunt, the Nickelodeon winner for "Best Children's Theater in Los Angeles" will be creating Fairyland right here at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden on Saturday April 18.

hunt, and storytelling, along with enchanting guided tours through the magnificent Celebration Garden. The fairies will weave the magic of the stories of Fairyland, as the children are reminded to protect the earth and keep it safe. "Here are my friends the water fairies,” says Fairy Sedona as she points out the Watering Wall in the Celebration Garden. "The water fairies remind us that we are in a draught right now, so we need to use our water carefully and not be wasteful." Sedona then has a dialogue with the children about protecting the environment and asks them what they can do. The children and their families then take the fairy pledge to protect the earth and keep it safe. Children are encouraged to come in their fa-

Taiwan Demonstrates That ‘It’s Easy Being Green’ Taipei Economic and Cultural Office to Exhibit at San Diego EarthFair

The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles (TECO-LA) is proudly announcing its inaugural year as an exhibitor at the San Diego EarthFair at Balboa Park on April 19th, 2015. The event is being held in honor of Earth Day. EarthFair has been a San Diego tradition for the past 26 years. Each year, it draws around 60,000 visitors. San Diego EarthFair is the largest free annual environmental festival in the world. Produced by 400 volunteers, EarthFair 2015 will feature more than 300 exhibitors. All exhibitors will be showcasing products and educating visitors about causes related to the

environment. Taiwan is a global leader in green technology, and has pledged to bring its carbon emissions back to 2005 levels by 2020 and to 2000 levels by 2025. Taiwan is also one of the few developed nations that have successfully decoupled GDP growth and production of household waste. The average Taiwanese citizen produces less than two pounds of waste per day. In comparison, the average American citizen produces more than twice that amount. As the de-facto consular office of Taiwan, TECO-LA will be showcasing sustainable products that were made in Taiwan. These prod-

ucts include t-shirts, toiletry bags, scarves, and hats made out of recycled materials such as plastic bottles and coffee grounds. There will be Taiwanese pinball machines at the booth, and visitors can play to win some of these innovative products as prizes. “It is wonderful that Taiwan’s green technology is being showcased at such a well-known and popular environmental event in San Diego,” said Steve Hsia, Director-General of TECOLA. “We are excited to raise awareness about Taiwan’s green initiatives, and hope that this year will be the first of many years that TECO-LA will be exhibiting at EarthFair.”

Coalition Claims CleanTech’s New Facility Violates Zoning Code By Mariela Patron A coalition made up of environmentalists, community volunteers, and religious leaders in defense of the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area continued their fight against CleanTech Environmental Inc.’s new used-oil treatment and hazardous waste storage facility last week. The coalition signed a letter asking the Irwindale City Council to rectify alleged incorrect zoning code information the Department of Toxic Substances Control obtained while assessing the Environmental Impact Report for CleanTech’s new facility. “The DTSC has abandoned the people that it is supposed to protect from toxic harm,” Liza Tucker, consumer advocate for Consumer Watchdog, said. “It is a matter of being ignored.” The letter claims CleanTech’s facility goes against the permitted use of the area and does not have a needed conditional use permit. It also classifies the new facility as large processing, which, according to the zoning code, is

not allowed to process hazardous materials or expand without modifying the required permit. Irwindale Community Development Director Gus Romo said CleanTech does not qualify as a large processing facility because by definition a facility of the sort collects and processes recyclable materials and occupies at least 25,000 square feet of gross collection, processing and storage area. CleanTech installed two tanks in February—one for treating used oil and the other for storing non-RCRA wastewater. DTSC Media Information Officer Russ Edmondson said tanks are only allowed to be installed in CleanTech’s existing 18,240 square foot warehouse. The coalition says it is concerned with the facility’s quarter mile proximity to the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area because it will increase the risk of oil spills and pollution. “I wish we could more seriously consider the wellbeing of all people and of the Earth itself and not

let corporations guide the health of the planet,” said Rabbi Jonathan Klein, executive director of CLUE Los Angeles. “It’s painful to see it’s an undeserved Latino

However, Tucker said the community is being taken advantage of. “I think the DTSC minimized the potential effect of spills and trucks coming in

community that faces the wrath of toxic polluter.” CleanTech President Bob Brown said oil cannot reach the recreational area. “We’ve got many layers of new concrete, multiple protection barriers around all the tanks included,” Brown said. “There’s no way that anything can impede or harm the Santa Fe Dam.”

and out of deliveries,” Tucker said. “I think they wanted to come out with this result to ram it down the throats of that community.” Advocates are reaching out to neighboring cities for support against CleanTech’s facility. Beatriz Sandoval, volunteer coordinator for L.A. Voice PICO, said she is scared the same oversight

that occurred in Vernon, California will happen in Irwindale. In March, an Exide Technologies battery recycling plant officially shut down in Vernon as a result of lead emissions. According to status updates from advocates on the Save the Santa Fe Dam Rec Area Facebook page, the DTSC ignored Exide Technologies’ operations for years. Tucker said the DTSC knows how to use loopholes to the advantage of companies. “There is a revolving door of people that leave the DTSC and then go represent industry,” she said. Brown said the new facility benefits the community. “It’s creating green jobs and improving the environment by lowering our carbon footprint for the state,” Brown said. “It is the cleanest facility for recycling used oil in the state of California because it is done indoors.” Before installing the facility, CleanTech transported used-oil to Veolia Environmental Services in Azusa.

CleanTech submitted an application for its waste storage and treatment facility to the DTSC in 2010. The permit issued December 2012 was appealed, and it prompted the DTSC to do an Environmental Impact Report instead of the initial Negative Declaration, Edmondson said. Deputy Director of the Planning and Development Agency of Los Angeles Norma Garcia said the department reviewed the Environmental Impact Report draft and found the facility would not cause a significant environmental impact on the recreational area. In addition, Romo said the city determined in 2012 that a conditional use permit was not needed because the new facility is considered a supplementary part of CleanTech’s business as a registered manufacturer and of its hazardous waste management programs. Upon Rcompleting the ED Impact ReEnvironmental UC port, the DTSC ED granted PR CleanTech the necessary permit in February. ICThe E DTSC denied all appeals to the final decision.

West Nile Virus & 2015 El Monte Relay for Mosquito Awareness Life Kicks Off at Mountain Week April 19-25 View High School

California’s State Assembly recently declared April 19-25 as “West Nile Virus and Mosquito & Vector Control Awareness Week” to help increase the fight against mosquitoes, which can transmit viruses to humans, including West Nile, Chikungunya and Dengue fever. Pasadena residents are urged to do everything they can to help prevent those pesky mosquitoes from breeding by eliminating all standing water sources left outside; keeping swimming pools clean, and regularly checking for mosquito larvae in still water sources such as bird baths and ponds. “Current drought and warm weather conditions may contribute to more stagnant water sources and higher numbers of mosquitoes, which increases the risk of West Nile Virus infection,” Pasadena Public Health Officer Dr. Ying-Ying Goh said. “Take precautions now to prevent mosquitoes from breeding and to avoid being bitten.” In 2015, there have been no reported human cases of West Nile Virus in Pasadena and in California. However,

drought conditions can increase virus activity because standing water stagnates easier and a reduced number of small pockets of water create an even more attractive environment for mosquitoes to lay eggs. Citations will be issued to homeowners who allow the breeding of mosquitos. For vector control information and to report a green pool or still water source, call the Pasadena Public Health Department (PPHD) Environmental Health Division at (626) 744-6004. Online information is at http://westnile. ca.gov/. If you find a dead bird on your property, please report it to the California West Nile Virus website at http:// westnile.ca.gov/report_wnv. php. The PPHD also recommends protecting yourself by taking precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Preventive measures include wearing repellants containing DEET, avoiding areas likely to be inhabited by mosquitoes at dawn and dusk, wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors and checking your window screen for holes.

The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fundraiser is the world’s largest and most impactful fundraising event dedicated to end cancer. This event unites communities across the globe to celebrate individuals who have battled cancer, remember loved ones and continue to advocate for cancer research. The City of El Monte invites members of the community to form teams and participate in this two-day event, which will be held at

Mountain View High School at 2900 Parkway Drive in El Monte. Gates open at 7 a.m. on Saturday. Closing ceremony will be held at 8:45 a.m. on Sunday. Lunch and dinner provided to all registered applicants. Please visit the website www.RelayForLife.org/ElMonteCA to register online. For more information, please contact Community Manager Maggie SernaLoera at (714) 470–5351 or through email: Maggie. Serna-Loera@cancer.org.

El Monte Citizens Able to Experience Police Training for Free Continued from page 1

encouraged to attend the “Range Week/Grand Theft Auto” event held in part at the El Monte PD’s firing range. This event will provide citizens to learn the basics of gun safety, certain firearms control laws, and how to aim and fire a gun properly at a target in a controlled area. Each week focuses on a selective aspect of the job, with most of the events taking place at the department’s Wayne Clayton Administrative Building. However, some events are held elsewhere. For example, on the 23rd of this month, residents who wish to attend the Citizens’ Academy will meet at the El Monte Air Support in order to view demonstrations from the El Monte’s Air Support unit. Sgt. Martinez says that residents at the event will be able to learn how to use the FLIR Infra-Red camera used by the El Monte PD to track suspects from a moving helicopter. On May 14, classes will be held to demonstrate how the police radar works. “So afterwards, if they ever get pulled over for speeding again, they know exactly how we got ‘em,” said Sgt.

Martinez, “They get to pull the trigger to see how accurate the [RADAR] gun is.” Following this event will be a display by the Police K-9 unit including a live demonstration on, “What the canine does.” During the demonstration, a dog will “come out of the patrol vehicle and actually extract the suspect [an El Monte PD officer wearing a protective suit] out of the car,” said Sgt. Martinez, “it shows people what the dog can do and can’t do and why we use those types of dogs.” Residents who attend the K-9 demonstration will be pleased to learn that the El Monte PD uses Belgian Malinois, which are less prone to hip displacement than German Shepherds. Plus, they are lighter. “We

get them from overseas,” said Sgt. Martinez, “They tend to be lighter. When we have to do attic searches, we bring stairs. But sometimes we gotta just put ‘em up there [and when we do] we gotta lift that dog!” Other demonstrations include information from the detective bureau, the police dispatch unit, the mounted police unit, the gang unit, the narcotics investigations unit, and a class outlining what the El Monte Police Department classifies as a proper “use of force.” The El Monte Citizens’ academy is free, and citizens who complete the course will earn a certificate and get to attend a graduation dinner on Thursday, the 28th of May.

Holden’s Bill to Increase Opportunities for High School Students Passes Key Committee Assemblymember Chris Holden’s (D-Pasadena) bill to expand pathways for high school students who want to enroll in college courses or career tech classes has been unanimously approved in the Assembly Higher Education Committee. AB 288 (College and Career Access Pathways Act) enhances concurrent or dual enrollment opportunities by encouraging school districts and community colleges to enter into formal agreements that outline the terms and goals of the partnership. “There is a growing recognition that concurrent enrollment at community colleges can pave the way to a four-year college, while also reducing the cost of that four-year degree,” said Assemblymember Holden. “The boost in confidence a student receives when he or she completes a college course as a student in high school can encourage the realization that college

is within their reach; this is especially important for minority and low income students.” “We believe AB 288 is an important policy step forward to provide broader access to dual enrollment opportunities and to ensure greater student success in both high school and college,” testified Vincent Stewart, Vice Chancellor, California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office. AB 288 would create College and Career Access Pathways partnerships between community college districts and high schools in its area. It also authorizes students to take up to 15 units instead of the current 11. Gives priority to those students participating in a career pathway. Authorizes community college courses to be offered on high school campuses. Prohibits “double-dipping” where both the high school and the college are reimbursed for the student.

Protect Local Citrus Trees

And provides more transparency and accountability between high schools and colleges. “As a worldwide economic leader, we must do everything we can to ensure that California students are ready for the jobs of an ever-changing California economy,” said joint author Assembly Republican Leader Kristin Olsen. “Making community college courses more accessible to high schools students will help ignite their sense of purpose and drive that is essential in today’s fast-paced world, while improving their eligibility for a wider range of jobs early on.” AB 288 is supported by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, The California Community League, The California Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles Community College District, Los Rios Community College District, Pasadena Community College District, Sacramento Pathways to Success, among others.

A deadly citrus tree disease called Huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening disease has been found in your area and is threatening citrus trees that have been growing in local backyards for decades. The disease is spread by a pest called the Asian citrus psyllid and it has no cure. Infected trees will die. Trees infected with HLB must be removed to protect other trees in the area and the community’s citrus. While researchers are looking for long-term solutions for HLB, we must do what we can now to protect our local trees.

Follow these tips: HLB causes uneven yellowing of leaves.

Infected trees will die.

•Inspect trees regularly for the disease. •Call 800-491-1899 if you suspect your tree has been infected.

•Cooperate with local agriculture crews who may ask to access your property to inspect or remove infected trees. •Do not move citrus plants into or out of the area. •When grafting, use registered budwood with source documentation.

No More Tobacco Smoke in Apartments? By S.A.F.E. – Smoke-Free Air for Everyone

Scientists have proven that tobacco smoke will travel from unit to unit in an apartment building through cracks in fixtures, electrical outlets, plumbing, vents, and baseboards as well as through shared ventilation systems and windows. Door to door surveys of 375 El Monte apartment residents from August 2013

to May 2014 showed that almost one third had tobacco smoke drift into their apartment. The surveys were conducted by the non-profit organization Smoke-Free Air For Everyone. The residents surveyed included non-smokers and people who smoke. But almost 100% agreed that secondhand smoke is harmful to people’s health.

Of those who said they were being exposed to a neighbor’s tobacco smoke, 87% said they live with children and/or senior citizens. These are groups that are particularly vulnerable to tobacco smoke. The surveys showed that most residents would prefer to live in a completely smoke-free building.

California American Water to Invest $126 Million in Local Infrastructure in 2015-17 The California Public Utilities Commission approved new rates for California American Water customers throughout the state. The average revenue increase statewide is 1.2 percent in 2015 and approximately 2 percent each in 2016 and 2017. Customers will receive notifications of how this decision will impact their bills in the coming weeks as new rates are implemented. Some customers will see small rate decreases while other will see modest increases. “This decision is the product of open public proceedings that examined and deliberated every aspect and financial detail of our original rate request over the course of the last two years,” said Robert MacLean, President of California American Water. The CPUC decision includes funding for over $126 million in infrastructure replacement and improvements over the next three years. Some of the major projects include: • $4.5 million in the Sacramento District to enlarge critical piping to allow for more efficient water transmission

• $4.06 million in Monterey to replace over 20,000 feet of aging water mains • $2.19 million to refurbish the Potrero water storage reservoir in the Ventura District, lengthening the life of the asset and improving water supply reliability • $3.89 million to combine domestic and irrigation systems in Los Angeles “This decision will allow us to continue making infrastructure investments to renew and improve the facilities that serve our customers,” said MacLean. “It also maintains a robust budget for our conservation programs and services that will help support our customers’ efforts to reduce water use during this historic drought.” The decision increases California American Water’s total annual revenue statewide from $203,933,000 to $206,415,000 and will have an average impact of 1.3 percent for residential customers around the state. The decision also authorizes $5,950,302 in spending to continue a variety of conservation programs and rebates over the

next three years. Programs include offering low-flow showerhead and hose nozzles, sink aerators, leak detection kits and many other types of water-saving devices to all customers free of charge. The company also provides rebates for qualified water-efficient appliances like clothes washers and lowflow toilets as well as water efficient landscaping. California American Water offers customers a free home or business water use survey, where, upon request, the company will dispatch a conservation specialist to the customer’s home to look for leaks and recommend other areas of water savings. These surveys can help people reduce their water use and water bill. For low-income customers, the company proudly offers Low Income Ratepayer Assistance, a program designed to assist those experiencing financial difficulties in paying their water bill. Customers can find out more by calling (888) 237-1333 or visiting our website at www. californiaamwater.com. In the coming weeks California American Water

will begin implementing the new rates. Customers will receive district specific communications about changes to their rates. As part of the implementation processes other outstanding costs for changes to water production costs, purchased water and energy costs and deferred revenue will be included. Customers should also expect to see rate adjustments in 2016 and 2017. California American Water, a subsidiary of American Water (NYSE: AWK), provides high-quality and reliable water and/or wastewater services to more than 600,000 people. Founded in 1886, American Water (NYSE: AWK) is the largest and most geographically diverse publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility company.

Beacon’s CEO Speaks About Leadership By Jennifer Schlueter This past Tuesday, our CEO Jesse Dillon was invited to speak at the Monrovia Rotary Club’s (Club hereafter) weekly luncheon. Established in 1922, the Club consists of local leaders giving back to their community with monthly service projects and more. Its currently oldest member has been active for 55 years. “In service, you find happiness,” said club president Bryan Earll and tells us that he was not only able to serve his community, but also grow and make many connections and close friendships since he joined the club.

Leadership being Jesse’s strength and passion, he presented the key points of the topic to the club members. “Very inspiring,” commented one of them afterwards. For Jesse, it is important that people follow their leader out of their own will because they see integrity in him and share his vision. The Monrovia Rotary Club meets every Tuesday and every first Friday of the month and usually takes part in a monthly service project, its next one Arbor Day on April 24.

Jamison’s Cleaners & Laundry by AMELIA FAVELA Jamison’s Cleaners & Laundry is a full-service dry cleaning company that has been a part of the Monrovia community for more than a century. The business was established in the early 1900s by a Mr. Jamison and is now owned by Diane Moon, who manages the business with the help of her son, Johnnie Moon. Together, Moon and her son offer laundry services such as stain removal, expert

alterations, pressing, and embroidering for a variety of garments and special fabrics including wedding gowns, dress shirts, dress pants, leather, silk, polyester, fine linens, and draperies. Jamison’s Cleaners & Laundry, which is the oldest dry cleaners in Monrovia according to Moon, passed through a series of owners after being founded by Mr. Jamison in the early 20th

Owner Diane Moon.

century. Following in the footsteps of the previous owners, Moon has kept the long-time business name since purchasing the company in 1995. Moon had her heart set on buying Jamison’s Cleaners & Laundry for a year before purchasing it. The former real-estate agent frequently asked her client, who was the previous owner, if she would sell the business. “I asked Amber, who was my client for about five years, if she wanted to sell the business. At first she said no, but after a year she said yes.” As a single mother, Moon wanted to invest in a business that would allow her to accomplish her goal of providing a higher education for her two children. “I heard that single women with children could handle a dry cleaning business ... I had to send my kids through colPhotos by Amelia Favela lege, and I made

it,” said Moon. Since purchasing the business, Moon has renovated nearly 80% of the dry cleaners. “I’ve done a lot of things … a new sign, new floors, new wall,” said the owner. The foundation of Jamison’s Cleaners & Laundry rests upon its loyalty to customers, honesty, fair prices, and regular specials, such as the current $1.65 men’s dress shirt special. The majority of the dry cleaners’ clientele consists of a wide range of men and women in the workforce. “Young people, old people, they all alter their clothes … particularly working people,” said Moon. When asked about company obstacles, Moon said she’s very fortunate to not have had many. “I’ve only seen my business grow… If there is a really high increase in the unemployment level I could potentially see my business

slowing down, because most of my clients are people that work, but so far I’m thankful to continue to see an increase.” Moon is now looking forward to retiring, but until then, she is inviting everybody who would like any type of dry cleaning to her store. “Anyone who is in

need of a dry cleaning related service is welcome to my store … I will do my best to provide whatever they need with honest, fast, and reliable service.” You can contact Jamison’s Cleaners & Laundry at (626) 357-1516, or visit them at 503 W. Foothill Blvd Monrovia, CA 91016.

Doctor Baruch Stresses: Quick Response Saves Lives Continued from page 1

angioplasty care. "When people show up at a hospital that doesn't have that kind of capability, it was a real challenge in getting those people to the right place," Baruch explained. "The sooner you can unclog the artery, the more muscle tissue you can save," he continued. "The longer the artery is closed, the more damage is done. If it's closed up to eight, 10, 12 hours, it's all damaged, there's nothing you can do. But every minute you can get earlier than that limits the amount of damage. Less than 90 minutes has been the standard, and we've all been able to do that." According to Baruch, damaged heart tissue is poignantly measurable in terms of equating with the number of years shaved off of a patient's lifespan. By raising awareness among potential heart attack sufferers, he hopes 90-minute response times will elevate to 75 percent from the current level that totals around 40 percent of the county's heart attack cases. "My goal is to get people as soon as they start having their symptoms to call 911

and get them into a place like mine where we can actually do something for them," said Baruch. "I must want to save 100,000 lives, which I think I can do if everybody does this throughout the country." With greater public awareness of heart attack symptoms and the crucial need for assistance from paramedics, the 30-year veteran cardiologist aspires to a "30-minute or less" standard. "If you can get them in and out to the other hospital in less than 30 minutes, you save people's lives," he said. In 2008 in conjunction with the American Heart Association and the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Department, Baruch spearheaded a campaign to reform emergency procedures that significantly sped up the process for getting heart attack patients to angioplasty-capable facilities. Noteworthy accomplishments during this period were equipping paramedics with electrocardiogram machines, commonly known as "EKGs," which are essential to swiftly diagnosing a

heart attack, and instructing ER staff at hospitals without angioplasty capability to call paramedics for quicker transport to the proper medical facility. "That worked great. It's like picking them up at

cy health care providers in the county were able to respond in 90 minutes or less in just 10 percent of heart attack incidents, according to Baruch. Still, greater public awareness of heart attack

home, but we would pick them up at the other hospital and transfer from one emergency room to another hospital," Baruch recalled. "That's made it to where we were able to open the artery in less than 90 minutes, which is our goal, 40 percent of the time." Prior to 2008 emergen-

symptoms remains the most crucial part of cutting response time, he said. "Denial is a big factor in this," he added, noting that another key goal of the current campaign is to help make people connect symptoms with the need to dispel resistance to calling 911. Baruch's bottom line: "If

you want to live, call 911." To get the word out to patients about the importance of timely angioplasties, Baruch designed a series of posters targeting emergency room waiting areas as well as a postable set of guidelines for ER staff members aimed at quickly getting heart attack sufferers out of hospitals that don't offer angioplasty treatment and into appropriate nearby facilities. Baruch also established a website and produced a series of musical and dramatic YouTube videos titled "Heart Attack Blues" that echo the messages in his poster designs. The posters, which come in a variety of sizes ranging from more than six feet in height to 11-by17-inch wall models, detail symptoms and very directly instruct potential heart attack sufferers to immediately seek emergency care. Typical symptoms include "the sudden onset of severe crushing, tearing or squeezing chest pain or pressure that can radiate to the arm, neck or back," shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness or nausea.

Baruch's posters also identify more subtle, atypical symptoms — intermittent chest pain; "mild to severe pain or a sense of pressure in other parts of your body" such as the stomach, arm, throat or jaw; nausea and vomiting; sudden fatigue or weakness; dizziness or lightheadedness; shortness of breath; and suddenly breaking out into a cold sweat. Baruch said this year he will focus on getting his posters approved and installed at the 43 hospitals in the county that don't do angioplasty. Thirty-three medical facilities in the L.A. area currently offer the procedure. He also has plans to expand his symptom-awareness program into the realm of strokes. "A stroke is essentially a blood clot in the brain," Baruch said. "The brain is worse because you can survive with a weak heart and be fairly functional, but with a weak brain you don't go very far."

Water Company Explains Conservation Measures to Duarte Council by Joe Taglieri

A representative from the company managing Duarte’s water supply discussed state-mandated conservation efforts Tuesday at the City Council meeting. As drought conditions continue in California for a fourth consecutive year, Gov. Jerry Brown issued an executive order earlier this month that calls for a 25 percent reduction in water usage and proposes a number of more stringent conservation measures. “Shortly thereafter, the State Water Resources Control Board drafted guidelines using the 2013 levels of our production numbers that we supplied to them,” said Brian Barreto from California American Water, Duarte’s water company. The board has asked CalAm’s Los Angeles County service areas that include Duarte, San Marino, and Baldwin Hills to reduce water consumption by 25 percent, Barreto told council members. In total, the company serves about 100,000 residents in several additional cites and unincorporated areas of the San Gabriel Valley. State-mandated conservation efforts throughout the last year resulted in CalAm’s L.A. County customers decreasing water usage by 17 percent. Despite pointed questions from council members who sought guidance on pending restrictions and enforcement, CalAm still has to complete quite a bit of research before specifying actual conservation requirements for Duarte and its water district neighbors. This will depend significantly on how the state water board votes on the governor’s policy recommendations early next month, according to Barreto. At that point municipalities would have until July 1 to implement the new water usage restrictions. Generally, however, Barreto said CalAm customers likely can expect a two-day-aweek limit on outdoor irrigation in addition to the water board’s policy approvals that went into effect Wednesday. These include: No washing down sidewalks and driveways; no irrigation overspray onto sidewalks and driveways; no washing a vehicle with a hose that isn’t equipped with a shut-off nozzle; and no use of fountains and decorative water features that don’t recirculate water.

Additionally, water agencies will be required to notify customers when they become aware of leaks that are within the customer’s control to repair; food service businesses can only serve water to customers on request; and hotels and motels must offer guests the option of choosing not to have towels or linens laundered daily. Enforcement of the restrictions is based on CalAm responding to calls from community members who report violations, Barreto said. Written notices from the company are the first steps toward correcting infractions, but if they persist rulebreakers are then brought to the attention of a client city’s code enforcement department, which has the capacity to levy fines. The company offers rebates for water-saving indoor appliances and outdoor irrigation products such as “ultra low flush toilets, highefficiency dishwashers and washing machines, rain barrels, smart irrigation controllers, pool covers, irrigation spray nozzles and turf removal,” according to Barreto’s council presentation. CalAm also does what it calls “Water Wise House Calls,” which is a free assessment of a customer’s water use and subsequent conservation plan for both indoor and outdoor applications. “When it comes to conservation and reducing water usage, customers should look outside first,” CalAm Director of Operations Garry Hofer said in a statement. “If the only time you walk on your lawn is when you mow it, this is the year to consider converting to a beautiful water efficient landscape.” Barreto noted public events the company sponsored last year that provided instruction in sustainable landscaping. “It’s hands-on experience for our customers and your residents to learn how to turn turf over, learn about drought-tolerant planting,” Barreto told the council. “There are other options than just rock and cactus.” CalAm is a subsidiary of American Water Works Company Inc., which is publicly traded and headquartered in New Jersey. The State Water Resources Control Board consists of five members appointed by the governor and confirmed by the California Senate.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD ON MAY 18, 2015

CASE NO.: DR 14-03 – The City of Rosemead (hereafter referred to as “Lead Agency”) has completed an Initial Study (IS) of the proposed Garvey Garden Plaza Mixed Use Project to be located at 8408 Garvey Avenue in the City of Rosemead, California. The mixed use development would be located on 1.13 acres. The project consists of the demolition of all existing structures to construct a four-story, mixed use development with 11,860 square feet of retail/office space on the first floor and 46 apartments on the second through fourth floors. Parking is proposed as a combination of surface and one level of subterranean basement parking. Access to the proposed project will be provided by two driveways from Delta Avenue that extends along the west project boundary. The project includes a density bonus application under Senate Bill (SB) 1818, which amended the state bonus law to allow density bonuses up to 35%. Therefore, 10 of the 46 apartments will be available for lowincome households. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Initial Study has been undertaken to determine if the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Initial Study was prepared and completed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. On the basis of the Initial Study, the City of Rosemead has concluded that the project would have less than significant impact, unless mitigated, therefore a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared. The MND reflects the independent judgment of the City as a lead agency per CEQA Guidelines. The project site is not on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5. The proposed project is considered a project of statewide, regional or area-wide significance and could affect highways or other facilities under the jurisdiction of the State of California Department of Transportation. Copies of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration are on file at the City of Rosemead Planning Division located at 8838 Valley Blvd, Rosemead, CA 91770, for public review. Any person wishing to comment on the adequacy of the Mitigated Negative Declaration must submit such comments, in writing, to the City of Rosemead Planning Division, Attn: Lily Valenzuela, Associate Planner. Comments must be received within the 30-calendar day public review period from April 16, 2015 to May 15, 2015. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65091, this public hearing notice has been published in at least one newspaper of general circulation within the local agency and has been mailed to all owners of real property as shown on the latest equalized assessment roll within 300 feet of the real property that is the subject of the hearing. Lastly, this notice is also posted onsite and in five (5) public locations, specifying the availability of the application, plus the date, time and location of the public hearing.

San Gabriel City Notices CITY OF SAN GABRIEL SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 619-C.S. AMENDING CHAPTER 153 OF THE SAN GABRIEL MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENTS Ordinance No. 619-C.S. amends existing sections of the San Gabriel Municipal Code to make additional changes in its regulation of massage establishment businesses and the practice of massage in order to protect the public. The changes to Chapter 153 reinstate the CUP requirements and massage establishments will be allowed to locate in the C-1 and C-3 zones of the City with a conditional use permit. These changes will also trigger corresponding changes in the Valley Boulevard Specific Plan area so that massage establishments will be allowed in the Plan’s commercial zones with a conditional use permit. In addition to reinstating the CUP requirement which will apply immediately to all new massage establishments, this ordinance establishes a three-year amortization period for massage establishments which did not have a CUP under the City’s previous zoning ordinance. Additionally, this ordinance will provide that a nonconforming massage establishment, i.e., one without a CUP, will terminate if the business is terminated for a period of 90 consecutive days. The termination will be subject to the provisions of Sections 153.424 through 153.425 of the San Gabriel Municipal Code which require notice, a right to request relief, and enforcement provisions. Ordinance No. 619-C.S. was introduced and given first reading by the San Gabriel City Council on April 7, 2015. The Ordinance will be considered for adoption by the City Council at its regular meeting on April 21, 2015. If adopted, it will become effective May 22, 2015. A copy of the complete text of Ordinance No. 619-C.S. is available in the City Clerk’s Office, San Gabriel City Hall, 425 S. Mission Drive, San Gabriel. Eleanor K.

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, 1-800-280-

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $634,593.52. 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. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 this property. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2014-00778-CA. 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 Date: March 30, 2015 Western Progressive, LLC , as Trustee C/o 30 Corporate Park, Suite 450 Irvine, CA 92606 Automated Sale Information Line: (866) 960-8299 http:// www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/ DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx For Non-Automated Sale Information, call: (866) 240-3530 ________________ THIS FIRM IS ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

Grandparents & Special Friends Visit Maranatha High School Last week close to 300 grandparents and special friends visited Maranatha High School for breakfast, a student-filled program, and campus tours. This annual tradition brings the Maranatha community together to honor the critical role grandparents and special friends play in students’ lives. After breakfast, guests enjoyed performances by the Mixed Ensemble and Orchestra and heard from student Stacy Rasmussen ’16 as well as Headmaster Dr. Gyertson and Principal Dr. Purghart. The most treasured time of the morning is always when students meet their guests for an extended break. Locked arm in arm with their students, these grandparent and special friends walked around the campus and enjoyed meeting with students’ teachers and friends. In almost every classroom you could find grandparents gushing over students’ work and asking teachers all kinds of questions. Many grandparents commented on the beautiful campus and splendid time with their grandchildren.

PCC Celebrates Life, Literary Work of Pulitzer Prize Winner August Wilson

As part of National Poetry Month, Pasadena City College will be hosting an evening program on Thursday, April 16 celebrating the life and literary work of Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson. Titled “Celebrating August Wilson ... Ten Years Later,” the program begins at 6:30 p.m. in PCC’s Center for the Arts. It will feature a discussion with a panel of actors who have performed in or produced one of Wilson’s plays. The panel will include actress Ella Joyce, an NAACP Image Award nominee; producer Russell Andrews, CEO of StageWalkers Productions; and vocal stylist and actress Michole Briana White. An acclaimed playwright and poet, Wilson - who passed away in 2005 - is best known for The Pittsburgh Cycle, a series of 10 plays that earned him two Pulitzer Prizes for Drama. Each play is set in a different decade and depicts the comic and tragic aspects of the African-American experience in the 20th century. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the public to hear from actors who have starred in Wilson’s plays, on-

and off-Broadway,” said Dr. Christopher Jimenez y West, PCC assistant professor of history and primary organizer of the event. “It will be an engaging, educational, and entertaining experience of art and culture for the soul and the senses.” The program will also feature performances from the Los Angeles regional finalists of the Center Theatre Group’s August Wilson Monologue Competition. The three finalists - all local high school students - will be bringing Wilson’s memorable characters to life through a series of monologues. “To hear the youth embodying a work of a person whom they haven’t even met before will be an incredible experience,” West added. A screening of the documentary “August Wilson: The Ground On Which I Stand” will also be held at the event, which is free and open to the public. “Celebrating August Wilson ...Ten Years Later” is made possible through PCC’s Jackie Robinson Arts & Humanities Lecture Series. In its third academic year and initiated

by Dr. Robert Bell, senior vice president/assistant superintendent of PCC, the series is named after PCC’s most internationally recognized alumnus, Jackie Robinson. The implementation of this annual event celebrates the multiple aspects of the college’s diversity through a series of presentations, workshops, performances, and lectures. Pasadena City College is located at 1570 E. Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena. For more information about the event, please contact West at (626) 585-7236 or via email at cdjimenezywest@pasadena. edu.

28th Annual Fiesta April 24, 25 & 26, 2015

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

Sprinklers Wash Away Minutemen’s Final At-Bat; Lose to Village Christian 2-1

Monrovia Remains Undefeated in League After 8-1 Victory Over South Pasadena

by jacob bigley

Maranatha was headed into the bottom of the 7th with Village Christian leading 3-1 at 9:52 p.m. on Tuesday night. Trevor Marrs (#7) was due up and while taking his practice swings, the clock struck 9:55, triggering the unwanted symphony of sprinklers showering the Village Christian infielders. After a few moments scattering for the location of the sprinkler control box, coaches and umpires decided to call the game. Shortly after the players shook hands and exchanged their “good games,” it was 10 o’clock and the baseball field lights shut off, Maranatha forfeiting the 2-1 win to Village Christian. (When an inning is unable to be completed, the score falls back to the last completed inning, which was the 6th, resulting in the final score of 2-1). The game itself was an entertaining one. Marana-

tha’s starting pitcher Walter Harris (#17) pitched 6 innings with 6 hits, 3 walks, 2 runs and 2 strikeouts. Village Christian’s two runs came in the 1st inning beginning with a single by Josh Argarin (#20) followed by a Ryan Whisenant (#2) fly ball to left field, which was dropped by Maranatha’s left fielder. With runners on 2nd and 3rd a hard ground ball scored Argarin, followed by a sacrifice fly to center field allowing Whisenant to tag up and reach home, giving the Crusaders a 2-0 lead. Village Christian’s start-

ing pitcher Chris Davidson (#13) had himself a game by throwing 6 innings consisting of 10 strikeouts, 3 hits, 3 walks and 1 run. The Minutemen’s run came in the 4th starting with a leadoff walk from Paul McAllister (#3). A hard grounder advanced McAllister to second base followed by a bunt which rolled back to the pitcher (who could not grip the ball), giving Maranatha runners on 1st and 3rd. Davidson walked Daniel Netz (#10), and now the bases were loaded. Shane Kinsman (#5) hit a high grounder to the 1st baseman, who mishandled the ball allowing McAllister to score, giving the final result 2-1. The game went a total of six innings due to the time constraint with Village Christian scoring the win. Maranatha is now 1-4 in league; Village Christian remains undefeated at 5-0. They face off again this Friday, 4:00 p.m. at Tujunga Little League Field.

The Monrovia Wildcat’s side-armed pitcher Brian McConnell (#12) went the distance, recording 7 innings with 6 strikeouts, 3 hits, 1 run and 0 walks. McConnell’s pitching caused the South Pasadena Tigers to keep the ball within the infield, causing 12 groundouts throughout the game. Monrovia’s bats racked up 9 hits and 6 walks, earning them the 8 runs. Hits came from eight different batters as well as five stolen bases from the Wildcats. The Tigers would have three different pitchers at the mound, starting with Alec English (#7) who completed 3.2 innings with 2 hits, 4 runs, 4 walks and 0 strikeouts. English was succeeded by Jack Ren-

ken (#10), who went 1.1 innings with 3 hits, 2 runs and 1 strikeout. The Tigers finished the game with Brandon Louie (#35), who pitched 2 innings recording 3 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk and 1 strikeout.

Monrovia’s victory brings their league record to 5-0 while South Pasadena falls to 1-4. These two teams meet again this Friday, April 17th at Monrovia High School.
