By terry miller and Jennifer Schlueter A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection to a fire at a tire shop in South El Monte that left three people dead early Saturday morning. A surveillance video led

homicide detectives to Roberto Fuentes of Baldwin Park, who was seen at the shop before the attack. A witness told police he saw several men throw a Molotov cocktail into

Cheque Tires in the 1200 block of Santa Anita Avenue and then run from the scene at approximately 5:30 a.m. On Sunday, Fuentes was arrested for murder and is being held in lieu of

$1 million bail. In vain, responding Los Angeles County firefighters tried to save a man trapped SEE PG. 7

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com Open Letter to Elected Officials of Arcadia This is an OPEN LETTER to the Elected Officials for the City of Arcadia. AGAIN, I want to bring to your attention the lack of the big yellow signs “Children Crossing,” “Pedestrian Crossing,” etc. prior to the crosswalks near schools where there is a traffic signal. Las Tunas Drive and Duarte Road are major streets running East and West through the City of Arcadia. There is a lack of the above mentioned signs at Longley Way Elementary (on Las Tunas Ave), Arcadia High School, and Holly Avenue Elementary School (on Duarte Road). There are stop signals, but cars do not always stop on the red lights. I’m sure the drivers that commute via these streets are aware of Arcadia HS (as it is quite visible). But Holly Avenue Elementary and Longley Way Elementary are not quite as visible when driving past them. Longley Elementary School has a tall hedge running along Las Tunas Ave and I would bet that 90% of the commuters are not

aware there is a school there. There is a Speed Sign saying “Speed 25 Miles when students are present” and a 3” x 12” sign above it that says “SCHOOL.” The North/South streets (less traveled) at all three of these schools are marked with yellow cross and with the additional big yellow “Children Crossing and Pedestrian Crossing” signs. The City of Arcadia is a very wealthy city and it seems to me that they could protect the children, young people, and grandparents crossing at stop signals near the schools much better than they are. The City of Arcadia needs to talk and take lessons from Temple City as to how they mark their school crosswalks and what kind of yellow paint they use. The paint stays bright and the thick diagonal lines in the crosswalks can’t be missed by drivers. Approx. six months ago, I wrote to the City of Temple City pointing out how dangerous the corner of Warren Way and Live Oak Avenue was when the crossing guard was crossing students

and parents. The crosswalk lines had long faded and cars speed on Live Oak Ave. Within one month the City of Temple City painted the crosswalk with the bright yellow paint and the thick diagonal lines. Within two months they installed a solar powered flashing yellow sign when someone wanted to cross Live Oak Ave they could activate it by pushing a button. Hurray for the City of Temple City, they listened. Arcadia just recently painted “White Left Turn Arrows” in the left turn lanes on the road. On Las Tunas Avenue they also added the word “ONLY.” With the lack of additional “NO U TURN” signs being installed along with the newly painted road markings, the drivers are NOT paying attention to the “White Left Turn Arrow” and “ONLY” and are still making u-turns. I’m a crossing guard at Warren Way and Las Tunas Avenue and day after day I see drivers running the RED LIGHT (not amber) at least three times per hour and since the white left turn only arrow was painted drivers are still making u-turns.

So, in conclusion, I feel that Temple City is doing a much better job in protecting pedestrians than Arcadia. WHY IS THAT ARCADIA? You obviously do not care about the safety of children, parents, and grandparents crossing the street where a signal is located. -E. Nelson ARCADIA

Boy Scout Encourages Using Water Wisely Dear Editor: Hello. My name is Praneeth Bandi, I live in Arcadia and I am a Boy Scout from Troop 103 and would like to express my concerns about the water shortage in Arcadia and in Greater Los Angeles. I want to share about the water issue everyone is facing in Southern California. I have recently met with the Mayor of Arcadia, and he said that in Northern California there is lot of rainfall and it would benefit Southern California if the government could possibly stop some run-offs and divert it to Los Angeles and this would help lots of farmers and will create more jobs. I will work with my fellow scouts to campaign in my community to use water wisely and save water. Thank You, -Praneeth Bandi ARCADIA ­­Doctor Thanks Pasadena Independent Dear Editor: I wanted to let you know your piece on our meeting [between Allen Warner and firefighter/paramedic Manuel White, who saved his life at a Long Beach gym] Saturday was by far my favorite of all the news outlets.

Thank you for requesting this interview. -Bill Bogaard, Mayor PASADENA Jacque Robinson Thanks Contributors for Support Dear Editor:

Neighbors & Friends: I want to take this moment to say THANK YOU on behalf of my family and I for your contributions of time, money, prayers, and well-wishes in my campaign for Mayor of the City of Pasadena. I am sure some of you join me in my profound disappointment on the final disposition of votes. I am proud of my campaign and the team I secured to ensure we had a competitive election and open eyes to the issues that exist in Pasadena beyond historic preservation and development south of the 210 freeway. Decreasing gun violence, increasing affordable housing, stronger support for the greatness that exists within our public schools, economic development opportunities for our business corridors of need like Lincoln Avenue and East Pasadena - these are the issues and more that I hope will be not just discussed by the future city council, but formulate and fund longterm solutions. I am eternally grateful for each of you who voted for me, endorsed, and believed in my vision of Moving Pasadena Forward to create a more progressive Pasadena. I was able to run for Mayor because of the unending support of my family and every Pasadena organization and individual that touched my life growing up in the same house, on the same corner, for the last 36 years. I am newly engaged and look forward to beginning this chapter of my life. I took great risk in running for Mayor and had to give up my council seat representing District 1 to do so. Thus, my time on the city council is nearing end on May 4th (ceremonial council meeting SEE PG. 8

Alhambra - When you decide to sell your home, setting your optimal asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Price is often the first thing a prospective buyer sees, and many homes are passed over as “not in our price range” before the home even has a chance of being shown. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make an excellent first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds,

When will the government act on collecting the water that flows down all the rivers of the state and winds up in the ocean? The San Luis Obispo reservoir cannot be filled with Delta water because of the Delta

Central Valley agriculture. Every day the water flows into the ocean and the reservoir is not being filled. Locally, the San Gabriel River and L.A. River water flows into the ocean with little or no effort being made to conserve. Instead, the government wants to levy a parcel tax on every lot in L.A. County in order to clean up the beaches.

The Santa Anita Dam project was supposed to have been finished in 2012 and is not completed as yet. This prevents the water from being diverted into the Sierra Madre settling basins. Every storm drain flows into the rivers and out to the ocean. When will the government act to conserve the fresh water that flows into the ocean from every river in the State? Please quit showing us dried up lakes and basins and do something to fill them with the water that is available daily. Aside from that! Anybody hear of “cloud seeding?” -Sierra Madre Watchman Reader has advice for incoming and outgoing mayor(s) of Monrovia I want to thank you, Mary Ann Lutz, for your years of dedicated service to the City of Monrovia. Because I didn’t like or agree with your core principals, I never voted for you. That does not mean that I cannot respect your tireless efforts. In my

opinion the issues that got you unelected are still there and need to be addressed promptly. They are the development of a workable plan to properly maintain and modify the City’s infrastructure. Secondly, our building codes need to be modified in a fair and reasonable way to keep our valuable neighborhood character. Thirdly, access and use improvements need to be made so the citizens of Monrovia can use their wilderness preserve like the approved plan called for. Now that Tom Adams controls the helm, my advice to Tom is: to steer ahead. You have what you wanted, and we will judge you in two years. -Glen Owens MONROVIA

Editor’s note: Reply to Comments on “Alternatives Proposed to SR-710 Tunnel” by Nick Kipley The Pasadena Independent very much appreciates readers’ comments made by its readership on the matter of the SR-710 tunnel, however, the reporter who covered the City Council Meeting from which cer-

tain views in the piece were drawn would like to offer a full rebuttal in the form of an opinion piece that may run either online or in print, slated hopefully for next week. Due to the recent goings-on with the Mayoral election, Pasadena Independent has been quite bust keeping residents informed and we did not have the time this week to respond to your much appreciated comments. The reporter who covered the piece would like to issue a preliminary statement, however, that his comments came as a result of views espoused during the meeting that, to him, seemed not to encompass values shared by members of the quote, “the younger generation,” spoken of. The reporter also feels that because that such a large youth demographic was spoken for in both the PowerPoint presentation and speeches made during public comment, he would like to speak on behalf of what he feels the is ethos of that group. What he means by this shall be expanded upon further in his opinion piece next week. Original comments were taken from pasadenaindependent.com

Three South El Monte Residents Killed in ‘Firebombing’ at Tire Shop

behind a fence who was trying to escape. He later succumbed to his injuries. The bodies of Christopher “Munch” Jimenez, 20; Destiny Aguirre, 19; and Rodrigo “Baby Spanky” Gonzalez, 18, all from South El Monte were found at the scene by firefighters. Earlier, Christopher

had just celebrated his 20th birthday party at the tire shop. Friends now had to leave their birthday cards and balloons as mementos in front of the shop. The vehicle used in the murders, a gold 2002 Nissan Altima, is being held for evidence. Earlier reports of a white Chevrolet Silverado

pick-up truck seen leaving the scene at the time of the fire were determined to not be related. Anyone with further information on this incident was encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.

Pasadena City College Foundation’s May 16 Scholarship Fundraiser The Pasadena City College (PCC) Foundation’s May 16 “PCC Celebrates Student Success” scholarship fundraising gala will commemorate 90 years of PCC history with a dramatic 3D finale combining light, animation and sound. The gala, which is the foundation’s first scholarship fundraising event, will begin at 6 p.m. on the campus’s East Lawn.

Los Angeles-based PaintScaping, a global industry leader in 3D projection mapping, will combine digital mapping and visual animation technology to merge the real and virtual worlds, transforming the nearly 4,800-square-foot façade of one of PCC’s historical buildings into a “living and moving” part of the 90-year retrospective.

ping display, believed to be the first in Pasadena, will capture five generations of PCC history: - PCC: From just a dream to one of California’s top-ranked community colleges; - From earthquakes and the campus tent city to returning WWII GIs and the Tournament of Roses Honor Band; and - A legacy of student

achievement: Clive Cussler, Jackie Robinson, John Singleton, Nick Nolte, Alex Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen, Kenny Loggins, Kim Carnes, David Lee Roth and others. “Pasadena City College is a continuing Southern California success story,” said Bobbi Abram, PCC Foundation executive director. “3D technology will help us tell that story in one of the most dramatic and visually-engaging ways possible and showcase the tremendous contributions PCC and its alumni have made to our communities during the past 90 years.” Philippe Bergeron, PaintScaping president and CEO, said “PCC has a living history and many of the people who will see this production either experienced it firsthand or had a family member who did. That challenged us to find a way to bridge the present and the past while balancing the personal with the historical. The transformation we’ve designed for one of the college’s older buildings will provide a perfect canvas for visually painting that story.”

The May 16 gala is PaintScaping’s first project commissioned by a community college foundation. The visual display requires eight weeks for design, development and animation by a staff of seven visual artists. During the event, a three-person technical crew will handle the network of computers, projectors, and sound and stage equipment needed for the nearly four-minute-long production. “PCC Celebrates Student Success” to date has raised net proceeds of more than $950,000 for scholarships to PCC students. Proceeds will enable the foundation to increase its annual scholarship giving to more

than $850,000, up from the more than $650,000 in scholarships it now awards to PCC students every year. During the event, Bill and Brenda Galloway, the Boone-Fetter Family and the Pasadena Tournament of Roses will be recognized for their support of the college and foundation. Pasadena Area Community College District trustee Bill Thomson and his wife, Carol, are event chairs and noted Southern California philanthropist Alyce de Roulet Williamson is co-chair.

The Pasadena Playhouse’s Community Organizer Summer Internship by MAY S. RUIZ As summer internships come, the one offered by the Pasadena Playhouse is by far one of the most challenging and exciting! This year’s program was made possible through a grant from the Los Angeles National Arts Council, a first for the Playhouse. The posted job description for this intern is that he or she will report to Seema Sueko, Associate Artistic Director, to activate the Playhouse’s Consensus Organizing for Theatre Methodology and represent the Playhouse through interactions with community leaders and members of the public. If that doesn’t sound daunting enough, the list of duties should give anyone pause. Some of the intern’s duties include: conducting a dramaturgical examination of the plays in the 2015-2016 season; supporting the CO work by consolidating information, data and spreadsheets from the 2014-2015 season of CO work; brainstorming and activating Consensus Organizing partnership; and participating in the rehearsal prep work for the first show of the 20152016 season, among others things. The responsibilities are major and varied, requiring this individual to be a self-starter with a tremendous drive and creativity. He or she needs to have a passion for theatre and its community-building possibilities. The successful candidate would be chosen based on his or her application letter that includes a one-page Community Organizer’s Statement telling Ms. Sueko his or her core values as an Organizer and/or personal mission. A consistent theme in this entire internship pro-

gram is that of the Consensus Organizer – a concept originated by Seema Sueko when she founded the Mo’olelo Performing Arts Company in San Diego. She based this methodology on Mike Eichler’s principles of consensus organizing for civic environment. When applied in theatre, this means getting involved in several pockets of the community and inspiring them to get involved back. If successful, this Consensus Organizing method should result in ticket sales and funding opportunities, and a more meaningful connection between the theatre and the community. It is apt that Ms. Sueko is advocating this concept in an environment that is open to such a notion. The Playhouse’s history is steeped in community participation and involvement. When its founding director, Gilmore Brown, died in 1969 and the theatre closed its doors, The Pasadena Playhouse Alumni & Associates continued working. In 1985, it reopened as a result of a partnership between local government, businesses, patrons and various philanthropists. The Playhouse went on to inaugurate new works and significant reproduction of American theater. Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prizewinning plays and musicals

of cultural and theatrical diversity have been featured on the Playhouse stage. Sheldon Epps, who became Artistic Director in 1997, organized the Theatrical Diversity Program in 2005 that gave youths from disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to experience theatre through free student performances and arts education events. In 2013, it supported exploratory outreach initiatives to further engage the Hispanic and Asian/Pacific communities. Under Mr. Epps’ helm, the Playhouse launched the national tour of Purlie in coordination with the Goodman Theatre; Sister Act: The Musical, which played at the London Palladium in the West End and at the Broadway Theatre on Broadway; and Baby, It’s You, which was presented at Broadhurst Theatre on Broadway. He also oversaw the production of A Night with Janis Joplin; Stormy Weather: The Lena Horne Story, Can Can: The Musical, and Ray Charles Live. Other performances staged at the Playhouse include: Fences, starring Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett, with Sheldon Epps directing; The Heiress, featuring Richard Chamberlain; Citizen Kane, with Val Kilmer; Above the Fold, starring Taraji P. Henson; Stone-

face, with French Stewart; and Kiss Me, Kate, starring Wayne Brady, and once more directed by Sheldon Epps. The addition of Seema Sueko to the Playhouse staff in January underlines Mr. Epps’s conviction that diversity and engagement with the community are founding principles of this venerable institution. In a January feature story in American Theatre, Ms. Sueko explains consensus

organizing for theatre. “A mutual stake is built by surfacing mutual self-interests. The theatre knows what its self-interests are, and it initiates mindful conversations with community members and businesses to bring their self-interests to the fore. Where things align, that’s where the organizing happens – we organize around that.” The Playhouse has come full circle from its early beginnings as the

caltech presents

Pasadena Community Playhouse, when the tremendous local support moved George Bernard Shaw into giving it the sobriquet “the Athens of the West.” It is into this scene the Playhouse’s summer intern will enter. For Sheldon Epps, the success of “consensus organizing for theatre” would be a defining moment for The Pasadena Playhouse and solidify its place in history as the State Theatre of California.

Duarte High School Moves on to Nationals in News Broadcasting By jennifer schlueter

Four students from Duarte High School won the gold medal of the statewide SkillsUSA competition for news broadcasting and are advancing to the National round in Kentucky in June. There, students Bree Reyes-Graves, Yanely Serrano, Leonard Ramirez, and Daniel Ranjel, along with their teacher Levon Yotnakhparian, or “Mr. Y.,” will have to take a test on news broadcasting and create a three-minute news broadcast out of stories and equipment provided to them by the host. Yanely is the most seasoned competitor, with one silver and one gold medal from statewide competitions in two previous years. While taking Mr. Y.’s class a few years ago, Yanely volunteered to compete when he asked. She is also on the high school’s news broadcasting team along with the other winners. The three first-time competitors were asked by Mr. Y., who has been teaching at DHS since 1997, to take

over the roles of floor manager, technical director, and anchor. Mr. Y.’s background lies in mass communications with an emphasis on video and photography. When asked about what they love most about the competition, the students mentioned the professional environment and meeting people who share their passion. Daniel enjoys being at a hotel without his parents’ supervision. Bree, who was named after a news anchor, wants

to continue her current high school position as news anchor once she graduates: “I enjoy being able to share the news and interact with people at my school through this and they actually listen.” Her dream is to work at Fox covering international politics. Post-high school, Yanely might stay in news broadcasting, Daniel plans on being a crime scene photographer, and Leonard wants to pursue a career in audio for cinema.

down such text as daunting as breaking down Shakespeare, but, with skilled actors and direction to translate each line in a thoughtful and sensitive manner, the play becomes entrancing from beginning to end. Felicity Huffman, most famous for her award winning performances on film and television, exhibits why she’s had such a wellreceived career, as she waxes philosophical and plays on our sympathies. And when clashing with Rebecca Pidgeon’s calculated and powerful performance in which she balances power and humanity, Huffman exposes Mamet’s incredibly complex creation and keeps us wondering whether we can believe everything she says.

Three years after its critically divisive run on Broadway, David Mamet’s The Anarchist opened again, this time in the smaller, more intimate Theatre Asylum in Los Angeles. The Pulitzer Prize winner’s play follows a conversation between Cathy, a former member of an infamous group of anarchists who, decades ago, murdered two police officers, and Ann, a prison administrator who has the power to grant Cathy her freedom or condemn her to a life of imprisonment. As Cathy, played by Felicity Huffman, attempts to convince Ann, played by Rebecca Pidgeon, of her reformation, a game of wits and wills unfolds that exposes dueling philosophies and questionable motives. Criticized mostly for its dense, verbose material, and use of “Mamet speak,” this production directed by Marja-Lewis Ryan maintains many of these characteristics, but exemplifies what makes Mamet such a monumental presence in the writing world. True, on paper, Mamet’s dialogue can feel frustratingly muddled, what with its non-sequiturs, overlapping dialogue, and advanced vocabulary, but when analyzed closely, the writing clearly exhibits a level of mastery that intends to misdirect, amplifying the tension in this 70 minute chess game on the stage. Still, audiences justifiably may feel that breaking

These performers are so natural and meld so well with their surrounding that we forget that we’re watching a play and are instead dissecting authentic human beings. In short, while still dense and verbose, with a collaboration of masterful artists, The Anarchist is another incredible achievement for an already accomplished creative team. The Anarchist will play through May 23rd at Theatre Asylum, 6320 Santa Monica Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90038. Show days are Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 8 p.m. Running time: 70 minutes.

Betrayal by Harold Pinter By jennifer schlueter Inspired by playwright Harold Pinter’s extramarital affair with Joan Bakewell, Betrayal provides a dark, depressing insight into the lives of two unfaithful couples. For seven years, Emma and Jerry betrayed Emma’s husband (and Jerry’s close friend) Robert, who had also cheated on Emma with other women for years. Emma and Jerry’s affair starts shortly after Emma and Robert’s wedding, when best man Jerry compliments his friend’s wife and confesses his interest in her— and she reciprocates the feelings. The two acquire a secret flat where they continue their relationship – Jerry, under the impression that Robert has always been completely unaware, pretends to be a good friend. Pinter makes us travel in time, opening the play with Emma and Jerry meeting two years after ending their affair. Emma tells Jerry that she and Robert are parting

The music intermissions are a wonderful addition and the instruments well-chosen and soothing; however, the singer’s impression did not last (possibly also because she read from her electronic device during the play). The bright and colorful ‘70s wardrobe and Pinter’s captivating plot make up for most of these distractions, and make Aaron Craig’s California directing debut still a great experience, which you should only enjoy if you’re in positive state of mind rather than a failing relationship. Betrayal runs through May 17, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 7 p.m. at the NOHO Arts Center on 11136 Magnolia Blvd in North Hollywood.

Thousands Join March to Turkish Consulate General on Centennial of Genocide

Thousands of people marched in Los Angeles Friday, April 24th to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the killings of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians under the Ottoman Empire. Throngs joined for Friday’s six-mile walk from the Little Armenia neighborhood to the Turkish Consulate, carrying flags and signs denouncing Turkey. The event comes after President Barack Obama once again stopped short of calling the 1915 killings a “genocide.” Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I. Turkey denies that the deaths constituted genocide, and earlier this month recalled its ambassador to the Vatican after Pope Francis described the killings as genocide. Michael D. Antonovich issued the following statement on the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide: “Today, we mark the 100th anniversary of one of the darkest chapters in human history. The cen-

tennial of a crime that Pope Francis called ‘the first genocide of the 20th century,’ in quoting the statement made by Pope John Paul II. Yet, the President of the United States refuses to refer to the mass killings of Armenians as genocide. It is ‘necessary, and indeed a duty’ to remember that this was a genocide and today, 23 nations have officially recognized it. “In Los Angeles County, home to the largest population of Armenians in the nation, we are ensuring that those who died are never forgotten by consistently remembering — and openly condemning — the atrocities committed against the Armenians. “At Tuesday’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors, we will also have an official Board presentation to members of the Armenian community and clergy to proclaim the Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide. Additionally, the Board of Supervisors will consider a motion co-authored by Supervisor Hilda L. Solis and me, to send a 5-signature letter to President Obama requesting him to reverse

his decision and officially recognize the Armenian Genocide.” On Saturday at 5 p.m. in Grand Park, Mayor Antonovich unveiled a month-long interactive public art display which commemorates the centennial through public art. Conceived by artists Ara Oshagan, Levon Parian and architect Vahagn Thomasian, “iwitness” incorporates photography and architecture to educate and inform a new generation about the Genocide. The display consists of massive portraits of eyewitness survivors telling the story from the frontlines — people who were there — most of whom are Southern California residents who immigrated here to reestablish their lives. For the next 30 days, school children and other visitors to this remarkable memorial will hear the personal stories of survivors — first-hand eyewitnesses to one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century.

Bumble Bee Foods, Two Others Charged in Death of Employee Trapped Inside Industrial Oven Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey announced Monday that Bumble Bee Foods LLC and two others were charged with willfully violating worker safety rules, allegedly causing the 2012 death of an employee who became trapped inside an industrial oven at the company’s Santa Fe Springs plant. "We take worker safety very seriously," District Attorney Lacey said. "For the past year, prosecutors and investigators from my office have begun rolling out to major industrial incidents involving serious worker injuries and death. Our goal is to enhance the criminal prosecution of workplace safety violations. Although the Bumble Bee investigation began in 2012, this case

represents our commitment to protecting workers from illegal – and, potentially, deadly – on-the-job practices." Bumble Bee’s former Safety Manager Saul Florez (DOB 3/7/73), the company’s Director of Plant Operations Angel Rodriguez (DOB 1/30/52), and Bumble Bee Foods LLC were charged in case BA435950 with three felony counts each of an Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) violation causing death. The defendants are expected to be arraigned on May 27 in Department 30 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center. The case will be prosecuted by Hoon Chun, assistant head deputy of the Consumer Protection Division, and Deputy District Attorney

Friends of Foothill Unity Center will celebrate the organization’s 35th birthday on Saturday evening, May 2, with a gala evening in the Sofia Ballroom at Noor Event Center, 260 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena. The festivities begin with a 5:30 p.m. cocktail reception and silent auction, followed at 7:30 p.m. by a dinner and birthday festivities, featuring a live auction. Tickets are $150 per person; tables seat ten. Proceeds from the gala will support Foothill Unity Center’s wide range of programs helping the most vulnerable children, individuals and families across eleven San Gabriel Valley cities. During the past five years, the number of families coming to the Center for help has more than tripled. Last year the organization provided over 75,000 critical services to 4,994 low-income families (10,288 persons). This kind of success would have been unimaginable in 1980, when a caring and determined woman named Josephine Anderson borrowed a closet at Immaculate Conception church in Monrovia and started a grassroots effort to aid struggling local families. That first year, help consisted mostly of blankets

and canned goods. But word began to spread that there was now a place where people could help neighbors in need, and the effort started to grow. Supporters named it “Unity” to reflect a community coming together. 35 years later, the tiny startup is the primary provider of food, case management/crisis help, and access to health care resources across eleven San Gabriel Valley cities. It gives out 4 million pounds of food a year; connect with some 100 agencies and support groups to help clients meet a range of challenges; and inspires thousands of local individuals, businesses and organizations to give it their money, time and support. Through the years, the Center’s mission statement has remained the same: “We help neighbors in crisis attain self-sufficiency by partnering with the community and using our resources wisely to provide vital support services with love and dignity.” As Foothill Unity Center turns 35, that mission continues to shape its future. For more information on tickets, sponsorships and program ads, contact Barbara Rolf, (626) 3583486, barbara@foothillunitycenter.org.

Christopher Curtis of the Environmental Crimes/ OSHA Section. Prosecutors said on Oct. 11, 2012, victim Jose Melena, 62, of Wilmington, entered a 35-foot-long cylindrical oven as part of his job duties at Bumble Bee’s Santa Fe Springs plant. The oven is used to sterilize cans

of tuna. Coworkers were unaware that Melena was inside the oven when they loaded multiple carts, collectively containing about 12,000 pounds of tuna, closed the front door and started the oven. The victim inadvertently became trapped in the back of the super-heated, pressurized

steam cooker. During the two-hour heat sterilization process, the oven’s internal temperature rose to about 270 degrees. Melena’s severely burned remains were discovered by a coworker, prosecutors said. Melena worked for the company for about six years. If convicted as charged, Florez of Whit-

tier and Rodriguez of Riverside face a maximum sentence of three years in state prison and/or a $250,000 fine. San Diego-based Bumble Bee Foods faces a maximum fine of $1.5 million. The case remains under investigation by the Cal/OSHA Bureau of Criminal Investigations.

Supporters of a local massage therapist who was cited for practicing without a license expressed their displeasure Tuesday to the Duarte City Council regarding the city's ongoing revamp of regulations for massage businesses. Roxana Ponce de Leon is facing a $300 fine after code enforcement officers caught her providing massage services at Bellagio Fountain of Youth Wellness Center, her business on Huntington Drive. Ponce de Leon applied for a massage license last April, but the city instituted a moratorium four months later on such licensing before her application process could be finalized. Claudia Ponce de Leon, the massage therapist's daughter, referenced California law that prohibits municipalities from unreasonably restricting a licensed service provider's ability to work. "Clearly the city prevented my mother, a state of California licensed massage professional, to practice her profession," she said. The average length of a massage application process is five or six months, Duarte Public Safety Director Brian

Villalobos said in an interview. "The application must be reviewed by the city's Finance Department and meet the criteria of having the proper licensing, they then must go through the Community Develop-

ment Department and meet the planning and zoning [requirements]," said Villalobos, who oversees code enforcement. "It requires an inspection by the Public Safety Department to make sure that the property is conforming with our codes, then all of that is put together and submitted for final approval by the Finance Department because they issue business licenses." Two clients praised Ponce de Leon for helping

"To maintain a positive, calming sense when we're in the middle of stress in our life, you need someone like Roxana," Elizabeth Gallion told council members. "The fact that you would need four undercover officers to come get this nice, beautiful woman is just a waste of city time, you should be encouraging her," Gallion added. "Not only is Roxana good, but she is still learning the art of a therapist to heal

us, to make us feel better," Lorraine Cheung said. "She is not about money, she is a very caring person," Cheung continued. "It's about her art, and I think that all this nonsense that she has been put through is not doing her justice and is not doing the city of Duarte future clientele justice." "What you heard tonight was some frustration about those ongoing code enforcement activities," City Attorney Jeffrey Melching told the council. "The adoption of the ordinance will end up removing the moratorium and allowing people to move forward from here." Villalobos said Ponce de Leon could potentially have to pay a $300 fine based on the citation she received, but due process affords her a hearing and the chance to request the city waive the fine and keep her business license in good standing. The council has approved a number of changes to its massage business regulations. Some noteworthy municipal code revisions pertain to hours of operation, facility requirements, licensing, record keeping and city inspections.

LASD Deputy David March Remembered at 13th Annual Memorial By Terry Miller

Each year on the anniversary of Deputy David March’s murder, LASD holds a 24-hour vigil honoring their fallen colleague on Live Oak Road. This 13th year was accented by a Sheriff’s helicopter circling the memorial while playing a version of Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s door” through the P.A. system. As the LASD chopper made its final circle, a deputy broadcast over the Helicopter’s speaker “Deputy David March, you are not forgotten.” The song played: Mama, take this badge off of me, I can't use it anymore. It's gettin' dark, too dark to see, I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, ... Deputy David March was shot and killed after stopping a vehicle in Irwindale, CA, at approximately 10:40 a.m. April 29, 2002. The suspect had stated

to friends that he wanted to kill a police officer during a traffic stop. The suspect intentionally got stopped and waited for Deputy March to get in front of his patrol car so he could open fire, as Deputy March would have no place to take cover. Deputy March was shot several times in the head and chest. The suspect, who was identified shortly after the shooting, fled to Mexico where he remained for four years. On Feb. 23, 2006, the suspect was arrested in Mexico by U.S. Marshals and Mexican federal agents following a joint investigation. He was extradited back to California and on March 2, 2007, he plead guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Deputy March had served with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for seven years. He is survived by his wife and stepdaughter.

Zoning Change Could Allow Operation to Continue Continued from page 1

Officials have warned a long-standing bungee jumping business in the Angeles National Forest that it is violating county zoning regulations. However, recent zoning code revisions could allow it to continue, much to the chagrin of U.S. Forest Service volunteers who work in the area. Despite for the last two decades regularly conducting weekend hiking excursions to and from the Bridge to Nowhere, located about 25 miles northeast of Azusa near the east fork of the San Gabriel River, Bungee America received word from the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning to stop conducting bungee jumps and zip-line runs and remove two of its three 40-foot metal storage containers. The containers house bungee gear, tools, and camping equipment for the company's overnight weekend staff, according to an Oct. 28 letter from a Bungee America attorney to the planning department. One container serves as a hangar for the company helicopter, which utilizes a helipad on the property. The bridge is on a 50acre parcel in the San Gabriel Mountains owned by Bungee America CEO Ron Jones and borders the federally owned Angeles National Forest. The planning department's violation notices went out nearly a year ago, but so far it's been business as usual for Bungee America. The department granted the company's requests to continue operating as the county Board of Supervisors considers a zoning code change that would allow for-profit recreational activities in the area currently zoned for light agricultural use. The Forest Service, however, nixed the zip line because its termination point crossed the boundary between Jones' property and federal land. After receiving the violation notices Bungee America lobbied planning officials and representatives of Supervisor Michael Antonovich's office for a zoning code change, which the board unanimously approved in November as part of a comprehensive update to the regional planning policy in the supervisor's district. The Bridge to Nowhere is part of the Antelope Valley Area Plan, which stretches from the San Bernardino County line to the Santa Clarita Valley and applies to the northern, mostly rural areas of the county. Antonovich staff members did not respond to re-

quests for comment. The board must again vote to confirm its approval of the plan update before the Bridge to Nowhere zoning change takes effect, said Supervising Regional Planner Oscar Gomez, who issued the violation notices. Planning staff is waiting for the zone change to take effect before deciding whether or not to allow Bungee America to subsequently continue operating in the area. The new zoning regulation, which Gomez guessed would be up for a confirming board vote in May, requires Bungee America to file for a conditional use permit in order to continue using the bridge on a weekly basis. This is a somewhat lengthy permitting process that includes an environmental impact assessment by planning staff and a public hearing. "Our department is right now reviewing that request to continue operating while they file this CUP," Gomez said. "The department will see if they meet all the [criteria] and if it's granted, then they file their CUP and there's a hearing," he explained. "The CUP requires a public hearing and neighbors have a chance to attend the hearing and express their views. The worst case is there's many unanswered issues, concerns, and the department decides not to grant the waiver at which time they'd have to stop and ... they could no longer operate. ... The zone change does not make any notice of violation moot." The planning department first became aware of the violations after Forest Service volunteers alerted the agency's ranger staff of concerns they had about Bungee America's large groups of customers, which they estimated at times exceed 50 people. It's a 10-mile round-trip hike from the trail head that starts at a parking lot at the end of Camp Bonita Road to the bridge, and trail workers object to issues that include public safety concerns, parking availability and inadequate permitting. "[Jones] should have never been allowed to get as far as he's gotten with the zone change," said Ben White, head of the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders. "He knew what he was buying when he bought it, he knew what was allowed and not allowed, yet he set up this business." Jones contended that his business "was licensed by the state over 20 years ago. It was our understanding that we met all the requirements." Tom Walsh leads the

Fisheries Resource Volunteer Corps and regularly patrols the San Gabriel River's east fork area, performing a wide range of trail, wilderness, and river maintenance that includes lending a hand in the realm of public safety. Walsh opposes the zoning change largely because Bungee America customers and staff have to cross federal land to get to the Bridge to Nowhere on Jones' property, which he said puts an undue strain on the area's natural environment as well as on the limited resources of the Forest Service and affiliated volunteer groups such as the FRVC. "We have on many, many occasions had to get [Bungee America's] customers out of trouble who weren't capable of making the hike," said Walsh, who has volunteered in the area since 1999. "They don't care because they've got [customers'] money up front," he added. "So if only 10 people show up out of 50 because something happened to them or they got lost along the way — we're constantly giving their customers directions because they're lost." Jones countered: "The bungee operation has a vested interest keeping the entire five-mile hike of this canyon in a beautiful condition. ... There are groups who clean the trail once or twice per year and we thank them for their contribution, but we do more to clean it every year than any other group because we are there every weekend." Jones also touted his company's public safety record: "Every year we assist the general public by rendering assistance in the form of providing them first aid and EMS. ... With our satellite phone capabilities we are the only emergency communication to the outside world and on 8-10 occasions per year the public asks for our assistance." In 2010, however, a Bungee America instructor, 24-year-old Mykel Sargent, was reportedly found dead in a ravine below the bridge after fellow campers reported him missing early on a Sunday morning. Jones denied he fell from the bridge and declined to comment further. Walsh and White also noted weekend parking scarcity that they attributed to Bungee America. "Parking is very limited, and you've got 60 to 100 people going on a weekend day and taking up all of this parking area crowding everybody else out, everybody that's just going to do hiking

or enjoy the area for reasons other than bungee jumping," White said. "[Jones] should be required to transport those people in there somehow in a bus that he operates and not dominate that parking lot for everyone else that goes in there," Walsh said. "Bungee America customers and staff do not dominate the parking at the trailhead," Jones said. "In fact, we utilize less than 25 percent of the spaces." Walsh also claimed Bungee America operates without Forest Service permits required for hiking groups. "First of all, to go into a wilderness area, I don't care if you're an individual or if you're a group, you need to have a wilderness permit," Walsh said. "Anybody can get one, but you're limited to the number of people you can take into a wilderness area in one party. This operation takes in anywhere from 40 to 60 or 70 people at a time." According to White, Bungee America "doesn't have an outfitter and guide permit from the Forest Service [or] a wilderness permit to conduct people through

two and a half miles of wilderness through that property, and that's a big thing as far as the abuse of the land goes. There are supposed to be small parties, they're supposed to be guided through. [Jones] doesn't do that." Forrest Service officials did not return calls for comment. According to Jones, case law shows his company is not required to have the permits. "We are very confident the law is clearly on our side," he said. "There will always be

a small group of haters out there, but the public will look at our past and all the good we do for them," Jones observed. "The public is smart and they realize the way to keep the canyon clean and preserve public access to the Bridge to Nowhere is support our cause." Bungee America's website shows that jumping fees range from $99 for a single leap and $50 for each additional jump to bundled deals such as a nighttime five-jump deal for $275 and a $1,000 midweek jump package.

California Task Force 2 Deploys to Nepal Earthquake– International Red Cross Already Assisting Victims By terry miller A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal on 25 April. Authorities report over 5,000 people have been

killed and many buildings have collapsed in the capital, Kathmandu. As search and rescue efforts continue,

hospitals in the capital continue to function but are stretched to the limit. Powerful aftershocks continue

to be felt, so further damage is a risk, increasing the climate of fear amongst the local population. Major relief organizations, including the Red Cross, have already arrived on scene and describe the indescribable destruction this massive quake caused. While details of the impact continue to come in, the Nepal Red Cross, which has extensive experience in responding to natural disasters, is providing first aid, search and rescue, blood to medical facilities in the capital and support to first responders. Reports vary, but well over 3,000 people have been killed in Nepal, Tibet, Bangladesh, and at the Nepal-China border, with some 5,800 more injured. Many are feared trapped under rubble and the number of casualties is expected to rise. Some eight million people have been affected by the quake. At least 15 aftershocks, ranging from magnitude 5 to 6.7, caused further damage to buildings and increased the risk of collapse. Tremors were felt as far away as Lahore in Pakistan, Lhasa in Tibet, and in Dhaka, Bangladesh. More than six million people live within 60 miles of the epicenter, located some 50 miles northwest of the densely populated capital Katmandu which itself has a population of 2.5 million. Buildings and infrastructure have been damaged and destroyed. Electricity and telephone

connectivity is intermittent and mobile services are experiencing heavy congestion. Hospitals continue to function but are stretched to the limits. Accessibility and transportation are challenging in Nepal in the best of times. Before the earthquake, many rural communities where the Nepal Red Cross worked were only accessible by foot. The main international airport in Kathmandu is a very basic facility, and planes often have to wait long hours in queue to land. With the destruction, this situation is even more dire and getting supplies and transporting them within country is going to be a major challenge. The Nepal Red Cross is headquartered in Kathmandu and has branches in all 75 districts, more than 1,300 sub-branches, 1.1 million members, and 100,000 active volunteers. The American Red Cross

Protect Local Citrus Trees

April 30, 2015 - MAY 6, 2015 | 19

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.

tional readiness for international deployments and as a local resource for residents of Los Angeles County and the Southern California area. Upon request of the Government of Nepal, the United States has deployed a USAID Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART), including the Los Angeles County Fire Department Urban Search and Rescue Team (USAR). The USAR component of the DART is what is called a “Medium team,” with 57 specialized personnel and all necessary equipment to make live rescues from collapsed structures and confined spaces. According to Caltech and USGS: “Seismicity in the Himalaya dominantly results from the continental collision of the India and Eurasia plates, which are converging at a relative rate of 40-50 mm/yr. Northward underthrusting of India be-

neath Eurasia generates numerous earthquakes and consequently makes this area one of the most seismically hazardous regions on Earth. The surface expression of the plate boundary is marked by the foothills of the north-south trending Sulaiman Range in the west, the Indo-Burmese Arc in the east and the east-west trending Himalaya Front in the north of India. “The India-Eurasia plate boundary is a diffuse boundary, which in the region near the north of India, lies within the limits of the Indus-Tsangpo (also called the Yarlung-Zangbo) Suture to the north and the Main Frontal Thrust to the south. The Indus-Tsangpo Suture Zone is located roughly 200 km north of the Himalaya Front and is defined by an exposed ophiolite chain along its southern margin. The narrow (<200km) Himalaya Front includes

numerous east-west trending, parallel structures. This region has the highest rates of seismicity and largest earthquakes in the Himalaya region, caused mainly by movement on thrust faults. Examples of significant earthquakes, in this densely populated region, caused by reverse slip movement include the 1934 M8.1 Bihar, the 1905 M7.5 Kangra and the 2005 M7.6 Kashmir earthquakes. The latter two resulted in the highest death tolls for Himalaya earthquakes seen to date, together killing over 100,000 people and leaving millions homeless. The largest instrumentally recorded Himalaya earthquake occurred on 15th August 1950 in Assam, eastern India. This M8.6 right-lateral, strike-slip, earthquake was widely felt over a broad area of central Asia, causing extensive damage to villages in the epicentral region.”

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.

California 6th Nationally in Advanced Placement Exam Scores Earning the state a sixth-place national ranking for the second year running, California’s Class of 2014 kept the momentum going in the percentage of students taking and performing well on Advanced Placement® (AP) exams, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced. According to the College Board’s “AP Cohort Data: Graduating Class of 2014” national report, 29.1 percent of California’s 2014 graduates earned a score of three or higher on an endof-course AP exam taken during their high school career. This represents a 2.1 percentage point increase from 2013 and is 7.5 percentage points above the national average. The state has experienced an 11.3 percentage point growth in AP performance over the past decade. Nationally, 21.6 percent of high school graduates in the Class of 2014 scored at least a three on the five-level AP exam. Students who get at least a three can earn college credit.

“Progress in AP scores is another sign California is on the right track,” Torlakson said. “We have worked hard to better prepare students for careers and college in the 21st century by

the free or reduced-price lunch program in the Class of 2014, 43.4 percent took at least one AP exam and 39 percent of those test takers scored a three or higher. Nationally, 49.6 percent of U.S. public school students were low income, 29 percent of

them took at least one AP exam and 23.3 percent of those test takers scored a three or higher. “I am pleased to see growing participation among diverse student groups in our state. California is stepping up to serve all our students and giving them access to the kind of rigorous education that will help them succeed in college and the workplace,” Torlakson said. California receives federal funding to pay a portion of the AP exams for income-eligible public school students. For the May 2014 testing cycle, the California Department of Education (CDE) reimbursed $8,503,858 to 411 local educational agencies (LEAs) for 229,834 AP exams for income-eligible students. End-of-course AP exams are usually given in May.

Holden Bill Provides S.T.E.M. Courses in Underserved Communities Under legislation proposed by Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena), students in underserved communities throughout California would have access to advanced coursework in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Computer Science classes. The bill, AB 252, passed Assembly Education Committee late Wednesday on a vote of 5 to 1. The measure is aimed at increasing the number of minority, female, and low income students who often do not have access to advanced courses at their high schools. “In many areas of California, disadvantaged students who have the potential to succeed in AP courses never get the chance,” testified Assemblymember Holden. “Increasing access to AP courses in the STEM fields, especially for underrepresented minority students, ensures that California’s workforce will be diverse and well-prepared for the developments that

spur technology.” AB 252 creates a grant program to help school districts meet the costs associated with creating Advanced Placement (AP) courses in the STEM fields. According to the National Science Foundation, women only make up a quarter of the workers in the STEM industry, while Hispanic, African-American, and other minority ethnicities make up less than twelve percent. This bill is supported by several education and technology groups, the California Chamber of Commerce and the Silicon Valley advocacy group, TechNet.

CONGRATULATIONS!

TO OUR WEEKLY WINNER 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.

Stats Floral Supply by amelia favela Stats Floral Supply, also referred to as “Stats,” is a multi-faceted store that was established more than 50 years ago by Dan Stathatos in Old Town Pasadena. Originally just a floral supply shop, the location now holds four additional shops known as “Shoppes at Stats.” The idea of diversifying Stats by introducing new stores within its walls was introduced by the founder’s son, Damon Stathatos, in 2013. Since then, Stathatos, who is a partner and the general manager of Stats, has opened “The Old Town Shaving Company,” “The Bea’s Knees Wine Cheese and Gifts,” “Sierra Madre Sawing & Milling,” and “J. Verne & Co.” Damon Stathatos’ father Dan was tired of working long hours as a florist in downtown Los Angeles and decided to open his own floral supply shop in 1962. At the time, downtown LA was the only place where people could purchase floristry-related materials. With this in mind, the owner attempted to shortstop florists who were traveling east of LA by opening his shop in Pasadena. The attempt proved to be a success as Stats later grew into

a well-known florist shop that now includes Shoppes at Stats. As a primary florist supply store, Stats carries various materials relating to floristry, including home décor and seasonal merchandise. Some of the store’s most popular items stem from Stats’ tradition of offering one of the widest selections of Christmas decorations. “It’ like a Disneyland type of experience … people come from all around every year,” said Stathatos. Since diversifying the store with Shoppes at Stats in 2013, it now offers numerous products pertaining to the genre of each shop. For instance, due to the addition of The Old Town Shaving Company, Stats now carries a wide selection of gentlemen’s European style shaving supplies. The Bea’s Knees Wine Cheese and Gifts makes gourmet food, wine, and unique kitchen items available for Stats customers as well. Craftsman supplies are also offered at Sierra Madre Sawing & Milling, and one-ofa-kind steampunk art décor, and vapor smoke components at J. Verne & Co. Introducing the concept of Shoppes at Stats was

a challenge at first because some customers had the misconception that the new shops were replacing Stats. However, by having quality merchandise, great customer service, and the most complete selection of different products, Stats has managed to retain both old and new customers. Stats’ target market has expanded over the years from homeowners who delight in home décor to a wide range of men and women who enjoy anything from gourmet food to unique craftsmen supplies.

Stats’ target market will most likely continue to broaden as additional stores are integrated into Shoppes at Stats. Regardless of the many unique shops Stathatos envisions incorporating, customers can still expect Stats’ endof-the-year tradition. “We’re going to continue to retain the annual Disneyland Christmas component; that’s not going to change,” said Stathatos. Contact Stats at (626) 795-9308, or visit them at 120 S Raymond Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105. Website: www.statsfloral.com

Spring Clean Your Finances

Why Do I Need a Trust?

by alan whitman

by tony j. tyre, attorney at law

Spring has arrived in Los Angeles, but not every resident looks forward to this time of year. Spring is often associated with tax time, forcing many to confront their finances for the first time in 2015. According to a recent study by the American Psychological Association, about three out of every four Americans experience financial stress, which can lead to low productivity and poor health. Now that tax season is over, do more this spring than clearing out your closets and fluffing your pillows for a fresh start to the rest of 2015 – try spring cleaning your finances. -Create the Right Environment The first step to spring cleaning is to set aside ample time. If you’re going to go through a year’s worth of receipts, budgets and options, you can use similar techniques to set yourself up for success. In this case, time really can be money and it’s worth setting aside a few hours or even days to properly comb through your finances. -Stick to the Plan After setting aside time, you’ll need to develop a strategy and decide where to clean first. Organization is just as critical when it comes to spring cleaning your finances. As a Morgan Stanley financial advisor, I recommend to all my clients to keep track of their budget. It’s important to know what you are willing to spend and what your saving goals are. Creating a budget can be a big task in itself and sticking to one requires constant re-evaluation. If your salary or rent changed this year, or if your cable bill was raised or your gas charges were lower than usual, you may want to rethink your spending choices for the rest of

the year. -Be Efficient Why hand-wash all your dishes if you have a functional dishwasher? Spending smart is for everyone; and it often doesn’t require any lifestyle changes. Always keep track of discounts, coupons and sales to ensure you’re always getting the best deal. Efficient spending habits simply involve thinking ahead; whether that means downloading digital coupons, planning your big purchases around holiday discounts or filling up on gas when you’re near the cheapest station. -Clear Out the Clutter Spring cleaning is all about clearing out clutter to make room for necessities. There’s nothing like tax season to remind us how important it is to keep a record of certain transactions, but it can also raise awareness to the excess copies and bills we don’t need. As digital banking becomes increasingly popular, it can be helpful to shred statements that simply add to the clutter. Of course if your financial information is kept anywhere online, I recommend being particularly cautious of accounts’ security. Documents you are unlikely to require for the rest of the year include credit card bills, pay stubs and utility bills. You should keep house and mortgage documents, vehicle titles and insurance policies as they may come in handy for future transactions. -Spread Your Skills When you’re sprucing up your financial lifestyle, don’t forget about your investment habits. Now is a good time to talk to your CPA or Financial Advisor about the status of your investment. You’ll want to work with a professional to

assess if your portfolio is as diversified as you’d like it to be and determine how you can reallocate assets to fit your financial goals. If you are a year closer to retirement or a few months away from expanding your family, take the time to consider your risk tolerance and how this may change in the future. Once you re-evaluate your current budget, goals and situation, you can make more informed decisions about how to invest smarter this year.

Many clients come in to my office and ask, “My best friend just had a trust drafted and said I should have one drafted, too. Why do I need a trust?” In my opinion, a trust is an invaluable estate planning document for several reasons: -Avoiding Probate Court A trust allows you to pass your assets to beneficiaries of your choosing without having those assets go through probate court. The negative aspects of probate court is that the process is expensive (both costly attorneys’ fees and court filing fees) and lengthy (can take over a year). For most people, if you simply draft a will, your beneficiaries will still need to take the will through the costly and lengthy probate court process. Similarly, most people who pass away intestate (without a will or a trust), will have their assets pass to legal heirs (blood relatives) through probate court. People who pass away intestate do not have any say how assets are distributed. -Having a Choice A trust gives the person creating the trust the freedom of choice. You, as the trust creator, get to choose who gets what assets and

when. For instance, would you want your 19-year-old son to receive all of your assets at age 19? Or, would you rather hold the assets in trust until your son reaches the age of 30 when he is arguably more responsible? You could specify that trust assets could be used for the health, support, maintenance, and education of your son until he reaches age 30 to allow your son access to funds for reasonable and necessary expenses. While you are alive, you are in charge of your trust. The trust can be amended, revoked, or changed. The trust still allows you to change assets or accounts and buy or sell real estate. -Protection Against Liability A trust can also protect you from liability. For instance, if you own a house in joint tenancy with your daughter and she accidentally hits someone with her car, the property you own jointly could be potentially be taken in a lawsuit. Putting that property in a trust may protect you from such liability. Tony does not charge for initial consultations.

Pasadena Women Conference

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. Here in Pasadena, they are hosting an independently run event. TEDxPasadenaWomen announced its partners for its May 30 conference at the Los Angeles College of Music (300 S. Fair Oaks, Ave., Pasadena). The day-long conference (9 a.m. – 5 p.m.) will feature local speakers and performers as well as a recorded session from the TEDWomen conference being held earlier that week in Monterey, CA. Live speakers include Global Press Institute founder Cristi Hegranes, actress/activist Tembi Locke, KPCC host Alex Cohen, and John Muir High School student Consuelo Martinez among others. A complete list of live speakers is listed on the TEDxPasadenaWomen website.

Pursuant to Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the general prevailing wage rates in the county, or counties, in which the work is to be done have been determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations. These wages are set forth in the General Prevailing Wage Rates for this project available from the California Department of Industrial Relations’ Internet web site at http://www. dir.ca.gov. The Federal minimum wage rates for this project as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor are set forth in the books issued for bidding purposes entitled “Proposal and Contract,” and in copies of this book that may be examined at the offices described above where project plans, special provisions, and proposal forms may be seen. Addenda to modify the Federal minimum wage rates, if necessary, will be issued to holders of “Proposal and Contract” books.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of VIRGINIA HERNANDEZ. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by JOHN HERNANDEZ in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that JOHN HERNANDEZ be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent's WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act . (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

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. Plac-

ing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

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.

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.

Monrovia Beats Temple City 5-1; Remains Undefeated in League

Pasadena Falls 4-3 in Extra Innings to Crescenta Valley by vincent nguyen It wasn’t a matter of hits--it was a matter of runs. With a total of 16 hits altogether from both teams, the Crescenta Valley High School baseball team overcame Pasadena High School in a 10-inning thriller, with the Falcons conquering the Bulldogs 4-3 on April 28. “It was a fun game, heartbreaking, but fun,” Pasadena baseball head coach Michael Parisi said about the “crazy” game. “Unfortunately we came up short and we gave everything we had but it just didn’t work out. It’s just one of those games.” The Falcons garnered nine hits for the evening, while the Bulldogs notched seven in all 10 innings. Both teams had four errors apiece. Pasadena pitcher Niko Lopez commanded the mound for nine innings, registering four strikeouts, nine hits, and three runs. Lopez also earned two walks and a steal on offense. Pasadena went down a run in the first inning, but scored twice in the second to gain the lead that would last the majority of the game. The Falcons tied it all up in the fourth inning, thanks to a Bulldog error that sent Crescenta Valley pitcher Brian Gadsby home. Gadsby would take over at the mound in the very next inning, striking out three and allowing only one run in his first inning pitching. Gadsby did not allow another run, and only four hits, during his six innings at the mound. Pasadena’s Jorge Reyna (#12) was the only Bulldog to score on Gadsby, lifting Pasadena to a 3-2 lead

going into the sixth. Gadsby would allow two more hits but nothing came of it, while Lopez wouldn’t allow a single hit in the same inning. In the final inning of the game, the Falcons were on their final two outs, when Chase Walker (#21) hit a double to right field to get Crescenta Valley on the field. Moments later, Adrian Damla (#1) repeated the same play, and scored Walker on his double to right field, sending the game into extra innings.

Parisi relieved Lopez from the mound and brought on Trent Buchanan (#22) to finish the game. “Proud of Niko,” Parisi said about Lopez’s nineinning stretch, striking out four during his run at the mound. “He competed and he gave us everything he had.” Buchanan started off his time with a leadoff walk, Pasadena’s Daniel Richman swings during the Bulldogs’ 4-3 extra inning defeat against the Crescenta Valley Falcons on April 28.

“There’s no momentum, I don’t think anybody had it!” Crescenta Valley baseball head coach Phil Torres said about his side’s grinding comeback over Pasadena. “Both teams made a ton of mistakes.” It was all Lopez and Gadsby in extra innings as the two faced off in the eighth, with Gadsby allowing the only hit of the in-

before sending a player out. Crescenta Valley’s Weston Walker (#22) approached the plate and earned a single, before Brett Klein (#12) sealed the game, bringing Damla home after earning the walk early in the bottom of the 10th. Pasadena will face Burbank at home at 3:30 p.m. on May 1, with hopes of regaining their league momentum.

The Monrovia Wildcats hosted the Temple City Rams this Tuesday in their first league matchup of the season. Monrovia’s bats were hot early as the Ram’s Starting Pitcher Tyler Hazlet (#5) ran into trouble against the Wildcats in the bottom of the first. The inning started with a walk from Kevin Chavez (#21) followed by a successful bunt down the right baseline by James Wright (#5), getting Monrovia run ners on first and second with no outs. Isaiah Ramos (#9) stepped to the plate and hit a gap double, scoring both Quinonez (#21) and Wright (#5). A ground out by Eric Herrera (#13) brought P.J. Goebel (#24) to the plate, who blasted (what might have been a home run but for the strong wind that held it in play) a one run double over the right fielder’s head towards the wall, ending the inning with the Wildcats up 3-0. The Wildcats earned two more runs in the bottom of the 5th thanks to two consecutive singles from Wright (#5) and Garcia (#27). Ramos (#9) singled to right, scoring Wright (#5), followed by another single from Herrera (#13) which scored Garcia (#27), stretching the lead to 5-0. Brian McConnell (#12) submarine pitched a great six innings for the Wildcats by recording four hits, one run, two walks and two strikeouts. Three of those four hits came in the seventh inning as Temple City threatened Monrovia’s lead

by loading the bases with no outs. This is when Head Coach Brad Blackmore called in Justin Rosedale (#10) to finish off the Rams. Rosedale’s (#10) direct, over-the-head delivery was quite a change from McConnell but proved to be the correction decision as Rosedale only faced three batters; retiring each by fly out, strikeout, and groundout and earning the save. The Wildcats earned their ninth win in league play, remaining undefeated and number one in the standings.

Temple City’s starting pitcher Tyler Hazlet (#5) went the distance, pitching six innings with eight hits, five runs, two walks and six strikeouts. Hits were recorded from Ryan Lewis (#12), Chris Rabine (#2), Kevin Chavez (#21) and Jake LeGrand (#3). This loss brings the Rams’ record under .500 at 3-4 in league play. Both teams face off again this Thursday at Temple City High School 3:30 p.m. It should be another entertaining matchup.
