Lengthy Lawsuit Between City, Sierra Madre Couple Slowly Approaches Trial Date by joe taglieri

After five years of legal wrangling, a contentious lawsuit featuring Sierra Madre’s Building and Planning Department versus a local pair of aspiring wine entrepreneurs appears to be heading toward the home stretch — an actual courtroom trial that yields a definitive verdict. The case is scheduled to begin in September at the state Superior Court’s Burbank venue, according to sources familiar with the lawsuit. The time frame for Jeff and Taryn Hildreth’s project to convert their Montecito Avenue residence into an art cafe and wine storage and bottling business dates back much further than the lawsuit — to the late-1990s, when Jeff began excavating the 1910-era home’s lower portions with the goal of creating a subterranean wine cellar. The Hildreths claim they had all necessary permits, copies of which they provided to the Sierra Madre Weekly, and were in compliance with the city’s building protocol when, more than 10 years down the line, the project came to an abrupt halt. Development Services Department officials levied an order to stop work based on numerous but nonspecific code infractions and their apparent inability to locate the Hildreths’ permits, the couple contends in a 2013 court document. Making matters worse, they allege officials ignored their repeated requests for direction on corrections necesSEE PG. 16

Huff Education Measures Get Unanimous Floor Support

Pedestrian, Bike Infrastructure to Accompany Gold Line Station

Legislation Designed to Help Students and Schools

by joe taglieri

Two education measures authored by Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar) received unanimous support during a Senate Floor vote and will now move to the State Assembly. The measures extend the School District of Choice program and removed antiquated laws from the California Education Code. “Our children deserve the highest quality education we can give them,” said Senator Huff. “These modest measures help deliver on this promise. These bills provide better choices for parents and students -- no matter where they live.” SB 597 extends the 22-year running School District of Choice program, which SEE PG. 15

The Duarte City Council unanimously decided to move forward Tuesday with a project to develop pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure centered around the Gold Line train station. As the commuter train system linking foothill communities gets set to roll through Duarte next year, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Authority in conjunction with the state's Transportation Commission administers a program that encourages municipalities to build amenities such as pathways for walking and bicycling. The Active Transportation Program, which came into effect in 2013 when Gov. Jerry Brown signed state Senate and Assembly legislation into law, combines state funds with a proportional local financial

match based on a city's population. A city staff report by Public Works Director Rafael Casillas spells out the project's scope: "The City of Duarte's ATP project consists of design and construction of pedestrian and bicycle improvements around the Duarte Gold Line Station connecting the station with surrounding uses including the City of Hope National Medical Center, the civic center, a recently rezoned area for mixed-use [transit-oriented] development; residential and retail areas to the west, south and northwest of the [Gold Line] station; the Class I Duarte Bike Trail and LarioSan Gabriel River Trail regional bikeway network; the planned Emerald Necklace regional bikeway network, and schools, SEE PG. 14

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com Dear Editor: Terrified of the SR-710 Tunnel Those of us who live on Orange Grove are terrified. We will be spending a good deal of money as necessary to avoid this crazy scheme by MTA. It is particularly devastating for Pasadena– -known and loved for the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day. Millions of people

travel here and millions watch the game. This outrageous idea of two tunnels, the resulting traffic jams, the poorer air quality, and years of building and tearing apart one of the most beautiful areas of Southern California … . The last idea MTA had for making a connector of some sort meant that many families were required to sell their homes

to MTA. For whatever reason, this never worked either. Those homes were not maintained well according to the press coverage of that last idea. They were rented to people who complained about the lack of maintenance verified by the press– roofs leaking, dead or dying lawns. A street which was once attractive has been crumbling for decades–-for

no reason-–at a high cost to taxpayers. It is a scandal! Someone must be making money on this. Surely, MTA should have learned a lesson here. You want to dig up the Tournament of Roses house? -Jan Dils Via PasadenaIndependent.com

Dear Editor: This is in response to a letter to the editor of the Arcadia Weekly on April 30, 2015 by Ms. E. Nelson. The City of Arcadia takes pedestrian safety very seriously in every aspect, and especially at crosswalks and around schools. With regard to crosswalk signage, Ms. Nelson points out the lack of big yellow “Children Crossing” or “Pedestrian Crossing” signs where there is a signal. The City of Arcadia, as with most cities in California, follows the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CMUTCD). The CMUTCD has been adopted by the State in accordance with the California Vehicle Code as the uniform standards and specifications for all official traffic control devices. As for pedestrian crossing signs at traffic signals, the CMUTCD very clearly states that School Crosswalk Warning signs shall not be installed on approaches to crosswalks that are controlled by stop signs, yield signs or traffic signals. We certainly agree with Ms. Nelson that these signs at midblock and uncontrolled intersections are important and helpful and the City of Arcadia does place such signs and other warning systems at uncontrolled intersections. The City of Arcadia has made schools a high priority for pedestrian and traffic safety. The City employs 13 crossing guards, of which Ms. Nelson is one, throughout the City at key crosswalks at or near its public schools. The City also makes annual visits to each public

school to observe traffic safety conditions with a team comprised of the City Engineer, the Transportation Services Manager, the Police Traffic Sergeant, and a school district representative. The team observes vehicle and pedestrian activities, identifies problems and recommends improvements. These visits often result in changes or modifications to City street signing and striping, and/or School operations and circulation. Also, the Police department assigns specific schools to its traffic officers to perform regular patrol and enforcement on a more consistent basis. Regarding pedestrian safety at traffic signals, the City continuously monitors its signalized intersections and makes upgrades where necessary for pedestrian safety. Recent improvements have included such items as extended green times for pedestrian crossings, pedestrian countdown clocks, striping modifications to the ladder-style striped crosswalks, and audible pedestrian signals. For any traffic related questions or requests, please contact Patricia Auriemmoin the Engineering Division of the Development services Department at (626) 574-5411 or pauriemmo@ci.arcadia.ca.us. Thank you for this opportunity. -Philip Wray Deputy Development Services Director / City Engineer Development Services Department, City of Arcadia ARCADIA

Olympic Swimmer Michael Phelps learned how to be prepared for unexpected events in his life. When he was young, he attended a swim meet and left his goggles behind. Phelps’ coach, Bob Bowman, decided to hold on to the goggles. Bowman knew that Phelps would not be able to vsee in the water. This was Bowman’s way of preparing Phelps for unexpected things that could happen in the pool. In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, during the 200 Meter Butterfly Race, Phelps’ goggles filled up with water. He couldn’t see

where he was going. Phelps was prepared. He handled the situation because of past experiences, and made a world record. When Venus and Serena Williams were first learning to play tennis, their father would have them practice hitting old tennis balls that had very little bounce and thus bounced low to the ground. He informed his daughters that when they would be playing Wimbledon one day, they would be prepared to hit any low balls that would be served to them. The best athletes and the most successful peo-

ple have put themselves in mock situations to prepare for the worst situation that might happen on the playing field. What is the worst case scenario that you can think of? What is the worst thing that could happen and how are you prepared to deal with it? Being prepared for the worst is one of the ways to be the best.

In a Sling By Dorothy Denne Name your dominant hand (mine is my right); now using that hand and arm pick a 20-pound box of cat litter off the supermarket shelf and drop it into a cart. That’s what I did. The trouble is, I forgot that I’m old and I lifted that 20-pound box with what has become a five-pound arm. When the box dropped into the cart, I heard a pop in my arm, gawdawful pain shot north and south and I

couldn’t move my arm. That is why right-handed me has had her right arm in a sling and is unable to use arm or hand. It is amazing what I can do with one hand that is non-dominant. It is also frustrating what I cannot do. I can peel a hard-boiled egg with my left hand only. How is that for talented? Before this happened I sometimes had trouble peeling one with both hands.

Getting dressed with one arm while not moving the other arm? Trust me, that is not as easy as peeling that egg was. It is possible to brush your teeth without gouging an eye out, but the cheeks might take a bit of a beating. Of course, getting the food into your mouth that you will want to clean off later is no easy chore either. Neither is opening a bottle of wine!

AccuWeather reports the persistent drought in California and other parts of the country continues to be a drag on the agricultural sector of the U.S. economy, according to the Federal Reserve. AccuWeather.com longrange forecasters are predicting the historic California drought will only worsen this summer. Agricultural conditions have worsened slightly due to wet fields, drought, and a cold winter between mid-February and the end of March, the Fed reported in its April 15, 2015, edition of the Beige Book, a compilation of economic conditions across the 12 Federal Reserve Districts. The drought will have a significant and prolonged impact on the economy, AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions Senior Research Analyst

Rosemary Radich said. “As water resources become more scarce, price and demand will have disruptive effects on the economy for agriculture, retail, and food service,” Radich said. Drought conditions continued to create challenges for many farmers, but those with adequate access to water benefited from favorable weather conditions in California, the Southwest and Pacific Northwest, the Fed said. “Reduced water availability affected plantings of annual crops, including rice, corn and cotton,” the report stated. “The need to purchase water or drill for water put upward pressure on the cost of production.” Drought conditions improved but still persisted in some areas of the Atlanta, Dallas and San Francisco dis-

tricts, while wet field conditions slowed planting in parts of Richmond, Chicago, St. Louis and Dallas, according to the report. California received some precipitation this winter, but it was not enough to halt the four-year-old drought. Very little snowfall accumulated in the Sierra Mountains during the winter, exacerbating the California drought. Drought conditions are expected to expand into the Pacific Northwest, AccuWeather.com Expert Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok said as part of the summer 2015 forecast. Temperatures are also expected to increase along with the dry conditions. “Precipitation is way be-

bles and fruits. Farmers absolutely have to rely on irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley.” Corn and soybean prices fell in the Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis and Kansas City districts, the Fed said. Chicago and St. Louis districts reported that less corn would be planted this year, being replaced by soybeans. Farmers tend to split between corn and soybeans in the Midwest, depending

on the market price, Mohler said. Soybeans, which yield between 30 and 50 bushels per acre, are about double the price of corn. Rainy weather is expected this summer in the southern Plains and the lower to mid-Mississippi Valley. Drought conditions may initially improve in parts of Texas but could reappear later in the summer, AccuWeather. com meteorologists forecast.

rie they enjoy. John Vertrees has designed the bachelor’s living room with circa ’60s touches. A copy of “Life” in a vintage magazine rack, college pennants on the wall, a dial phone…. Every bit of clutter is well-chosen to convey Oscar’s inattention to orderliness. Even the ferns are dead—until the second act, by when Felix has replaced them with fresh ones! In the past 50 years, various Odd Couples have entertained us: Walter Matthau and Art Carney in its Broadway debut in 1965, followed by two movies starring Matthau with Jack Lemmon. Moreover, there have been three TV series. You’ll be delighted to know that these actors at the Playhouse are the perfect pair to step into Felix’s and Oscar’s shoes. We are fortunate to have such a polished performance to regale us. Their impeccable timing, along with that of their cronies, allows for the audience’s peals of laughter to roll. Playwright Neil Simon is a master at creating repartee that brings laughter in unexpected places. Yet beyond the humor, he also plumbs the depths of human foibles and relationships. The neat vs. slob ploy is an over-simplification. This play is built on the men’s constant antagonism, yet their underlying caring for each other blunts the sharpness of their confrontations.

SUNSET AVE.

When Felix and Oscar of The Odd Couple come to life at the Sierra Madre Playhouse, it’s as if they never went away during the five decades since their first appearance on Broadway. This iconic American comedy with its “neat-freak vs. slob” plot is as hilarious as ever. When Felix’s wife tosses him out, he shows up in utter despair at his old pal’s New York apartment. What can Oscar do but invite him to stay a few days? That stretches into weeks…. From the start, the men are at odds. Oscar Madison, having been divorced a couple of years, has settled into his easy-going “bachelor” life. But obsessive Felix Unger can’t help himself—he tosses out Oscar’s empty pizza boxes and half-spoiled leftovers; he fluffs the pillows and picks up dirty socks. All of which drives Oscar crazy. Brad David Reed as Felix has exactly the right air of prissiness and self-righteousness to justify his ubiquitous tidying up. Meanwhile, Jack Sundmacher plays a laid-back Oscar who has no intention of reforming his lifestyle. In an effort to drag Felix out of his doldrums, Oscar promotes a double-date with the attractive Pigeon sisters from an upstairs apartment. Flibbertigibbets both, Gwendolyn and Cecily steal the show with their giggles and their expressive, coy-but-come-on looks. It helps that costume designer Angela Nicholas has outfitted the young ladies in startlingly colorful, even bizarre, ensembles. In a nod toward diversity in these roles, Kari Lee and Jane Lui play Gwendolyn and Cecily, respectively. Every one of the men’s wisecracking, poker-playing friends stays true to his character: Vince DonVito as Speed, Steve Bean as Murray, Joe Langer as Roy, and Richard Van Slyke as Vinnie. Their boisterous insults, put-downs and ribbing belie the long-time camarade-

Blvd.) When Roberto Martin started cooking for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, they asked him to turn their favorite meaty dishes into delicious vegan feasts. Martin became known for his “fried chik’n” and other meat-free versions of popular carnivorous dishes. Using those basic recipes, tools, and tips as a foundation, his cookbook was a major success.

A Mothers’ Day Treat: ‘Beauty and the Beast’

MAY 14, 2015 - MAY 20, 2015 | 7

Bringing Skin to Life

by courtney blackburn

eavy blue curtains hung, impassive, fifty feet high above stage. A few rows up, one little girl wore a twirly pink jumper over stylish white leggings, and her shoes were sparkling with pink glitter—even though they were tennis shoes. Laughter and excitement rose from the stacked blue rows of seats and filled up the Arcadia Performing Arts Center on Mothers’ Day. Inland Pacific Ballet was about to take the stage in their original production of “Beauty and the Beast.” Arcadia High School’s theater was full of happy mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, aunts, and even a few fathers. But mostly? Adorable little girls, from toddlers to tweens, in their Sunday best. Because, as every girl knows, wearing a beautiful dress is part of the fun of going to the ballet. And the ballet itself? In a word, “beautiful.” From the opening scene, pulsing with dark, dramatic music in the Beast’s rose garden, to the triumphant wedding celebration gilded with glittering dancers leaping and spinning in dizzying tandem, every inch was just beautifully done. The painted backdrops, provided by the Ahmanson Foundation and other sponsors, were of the high style seen back in Disney’s first golden age. They could have been sets for animated features in the ‘30s and ‘40s. The music, which was carefully chosen and spliced by Choreographer Clinton Rothwell, carried the story—it was sad and dramatic whenever the Beast took the stage, chilling and pulsing when the Wolves surrounded Beauty, and absolutely showstopping when the Beast rescued Beauty—sneaking in amongst the whirling wolves, unseen, and suddenly holding her aloft in the spotlight as the curtain fell to thunderous applause. The background dancers--the corps de ballet--performed delicately as “Roses” in green bodices and floating pink and white skirts. They made merry as simple villagers, dancing with props such as hoes and ribbons. They transformed into twittering fairies, skipping lightly between the painted trees. The danseurs, or male dancers, morphed into skulking wolves, frightening poor Beauty (and a few children in the audience). And for the grand finale, they wore

shades of gold and black and provided a solid wall of talent—spinning, leaping, arching talent--supporting the main players. What main players! Meilu Zhai as Beauty was delicate, precise, and never stopped smiling—her pure spirit showed in her lovely lines and gentle hands. Her beautiful tutu in her wedding scene drew gasps from the children, and her bravura fouettés spontaneous applause. The Beast, Cameron Schwanz, had to perform through his huge, immobile mask—but the arch in his back alone, whether hunching up to rise in from sleep or twisting away from Beauty in despair at her rejection, expressed the heart of the Beast better than words ever could. And when the mask was finally cast off to reveal a handsome prince, the little girls in the audience gave a collective gasp. Perhaps it wasn’t just the little girls… Delightful comedic performances were given by Beauty’s sisters, Ashley Mohadjer and understudy Emily Baggarly, whose antics, along with those of their husbands Evan Swenson and Reece Taylor, drew giggles. Giggles also came from the grumpy, slumping performances of four “Gnomes” played by Scarlett Arreola, Elizabeth Jacobson, Kylie Spina and Hayley Winslow in colorful pointy caps and striped socks. They were

there to clean the Beast’s castle, and what a job they did! Beauty’s father, Jonathan Sharp, drew attention with his magnificent bearing and expressive performance. He also gave a special lesson right before the performance on “balletic mime,” teaching the language to the audience. They were attentive, too— every little girl copied his motions and throughout the ballet, muttered exclamations of “that means love!” and “that means dance!” could be heard. After the wedding onstage, the ballerinas fluttered out to the lobby to smile and pose for the cameras, and sign autographs for the awestruck children. Moms, grandmoms, and daughters all crowded into the glittering nest of gold tutus and enthusiastic smiles. It was a perfect ending to the spectacular show that Inland Pacific Ballet brought to Arcadia High School on Mothers’ Day. The final shows of IPB’s “Beauty and the Beast” are next weekend at the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside. Really, it is worth seeing—not only to support this local company, but to experience a live, sweatvisible closeness to hundredsomething-year-old art form made fresh, friendly, and above all else, beautiful.

The Elliots A Long-Winded Romance by Jennifer Schlueter The Elliots is A.J. Darby’s world premier adaption of Jane Austen’s final completed romance novel Persuasion, which was published one year after her death. Post-mortem, Austen’s brother titled the work Persuasion, but it was rumored that Austen had wished to call it The Elliots. The play jumps back and forth from the time Anne Elliot (Kelly Lohman) and Captain Frederick Wentworth (Travis Goodman) first met in 1806 to when they reunite eight years later. If you are unfamiliar with the play, these jumps sometimes seem blurred on stage, but the booklet with the timeline you receive will help you. 19-year-old Anne and Wentworth fall for each other, and she accepts his marriage proposal; however, withdraws after her affluent family’s disapproval because Wentworth has no money. When he returns from naval battles as a wealthy, distinguished soldier, Anne attempts to rekindle their re-

lationship, but soon realizes that he hasn’t forgiven her. Meanwhile, the tables have turned for Anne’s family as their fortune is at risk. Talented actors, jokes, and bits of sarcasm loosen up the otherwise wellknown tale of love, heartbreak, and money of which we have all heard at least five versions. If you’re curious to see for whom this play has a happy ending, check it out at the Freemont Centre Theatre in South Pasadena. The Elliots runs through June 7, Thursdays- Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. It is sold out on May 30 and June 7. The regular admission is $25, students and seniors pay $20. Reservations can be made via phone at (866) 811–4111 or at www.freemontcentretheatre.com. TOP: Madison Kilpatrick (l.), Travis Goodman, Paula Deming. BOTTOM L: Kelly Lohman, Travis Goodman.

Are We at War? (Baltimore, South Carolina, Ferguson, Pasadena)

ast Monday at City Council, a most interesting event came during public comment. The CICOPP advocacy group and individuals articulated the need for community oversight of the Police Department and that its time was overdue. It was mentioned that three staff members of the City of Pasadena have read the McDade report in its entirety: Chief Sanchez, Michael Beck, and City Attorney Michelle Bagneris, all of whom in finality report to the Mayor and City Council. Wait a minute! In what reality does my subordinate get to see the results of a report commissioned by the city of Pasadena, and I am denied access to the full report? How can the City Council ask the community to be patient on the issue of community oversight when they are not even in the loop on the most recent report on improprieties involving the Police Department? It appears that the City Council is resigned to the fact that Michael Beck runs the city where the Police are concerned and they have no right to review the Kendrec McDade report. This misguided shirking of the responsibility by the City Council to advocate on the part of the people is ludicrous. The same confidentially that was required of Sanchez, Beck, and Bagneris would be afforded to the City Council. Councilperson Steve Madison and Jacque Robinson often stated that the oversight provided by the Public Safety Committee was all that is needed for oversight in Pasadena. Again, the reality is that the

Two Women, Three Men Who Helped Crime Victims Honored in Pasadena Ceremony by Deputy District Attorneys Melanie Buccat from the Pasadena Office, Tony Cho of the Elder Abuse Unit and David Ayvazian, formerly with the Alhambra Office. The honorees are: Francisco Godínez, 40, of South Gate, and Zinobi Gerbs, 44, of Burbank (Case No. GA088187). On Nov. 21, 2012, a woman met her ex-husband at a Burbank gas station to facilitate visitation with their daughters. Out of fear for her safety, she always met him in public places. When the woman arrived, her ex-husband forced his way into her vehicle, displayed a replica handgun and said, “You know what I’m capable of.” He drove off with the woman and their children in the car. When they stopped at a red light, the woman got out of the car

and ran toward the gas station, yelling for help. Zinobi Gerbs was in his car waiting at the light and saw the incident unfold. He drove into the gas station to help. When the man caught his ex-wife, he pulled out a knife and

stabbed her, even as an offduty sheriff’s deputy tried to stop him. At that point, a third man, Francisco Godínez, grabbed a metal wrench and hit the attacker over the head and then, along with Gerbs, subdued him. Defendant Trino Godínez, 47, was found guilty on Aug. 14,

Telésforo Arellano Díaz, 58, of Montebello (Case No. BA422179). A 40-year-old homeless man violently attacked a 78-year-old man collecting bottles and cans from a dumpster in Montebello on March 14, 2014. The man punched his elderly victim, knocking him to

the ground, and then kicked and struck him with a broomstick. Telésforo Arellano Díaz heard the victim’s cries for help and rushed to his aid just as the defendant was about to hit the victim with a glass bottle. Díaz yelled at the man to stop and then stood in front of the attacker when he attempted to flee. The man threw the bottle at Díaz, narrowly missing his head. Díaz then wrestled him to the ground and held him until police arrived. Defendant Richard Paul García, 40, was sentenced on July 29, 2014, to eight years in state prison after a jury found him guilty of elder abuse and assault with a deadly weapon. The case was investigated by the Montebello Police Department. Jennifer Clark, 43, of Redondo Beach and Con- Courtesy Photo

Two women making their morning stop at an Alhambra coffee shop witness an attempted kidnapping and decide to help the victim. A Montebello man hears the cries of an elderly man being beaten and answers the calls for help. Two men driving by a Burbank gas station see an assailant stabbing a woman and decide to intervene. These five courageous citizens were honored in Pasadena by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for their brave and selfless actions. “They stepped up in very dangerous situations. In a split second, they decided they were going to make a difference,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey said. “There is no doubt that our community is safer because of them.” The District Attorney’s Office presents an award four times a year to recognize ordinary people who have performed extraordinary acts of valor and selflessness in assisting in the prosecution of criminals, saving victims, preventing crimes or even capturing suspects.

nie Tejada, 58, of Downey (Case No. GA090950). On the morning of Sept. 12, 2013, a 66-year-old parolee met a 24-year-old woman he knew from church at an Alhambra coffee shop. He claimed he wanted to give her a gift. As the victim parked behind the store, the man, who had removed his GPS monitoring device earlier that day, forced his way into her car while brandishing what appeared to be a handgun. He took her cell phone, hit her in the head and threatened to kill her. After seeing the struggle, Jennifer Clark made eye contact with the victim who mouthed the words “help me.” Clark began verbally confronting the man, who then jumped into his own car and drove away. Connie Tejada also saw the attack and followed the man to his car. She got his license plate number and gave it to police. Defendant Frank Hernandez was found guilty on June 26, 2014, of making criminal threats and was sentenced to 40 years to life in state prison. The case was investigated by the Alhambra Police Department.

Teens: Volunteer at the Sierra Madre Library This Summer

Suspects Arrested for Attempted Robbery and Possession of Stolen Property

4867

On Wednesday, May 13th at 4 a.m. a resident on Grove Lane heard noises in the front of his residence. The resident looked out the window and observed a suspect breaking into his vehicle. The resident went outside and confronted the suspect, who was now inside his vehicle, and a brief struggle ensued. The suspect had a large silver object in his hand which the resident felt was a gun. Fearing for his safety, the resident backed away from the suspect, allowing the suspect to flee southbound to a dark colored SUV. As the SUV pulled up, another suspect ran out of the residence south of the original victim’s and fled to the vehicle. Within minutes of the original call officers spotted the dark colored SUV traveling at a high rate of speed southbound on Baldwin from Sierra Madre Blvd. A high risk traffic stop was conducted and three suspects were detained without incident. Stolen property and narcotics were

located inside the vehicle. Police Chief Larry Giannone said, “We discourage residents from confronting suspects for their safety but are glad the victim is okay. The quick response from the officers was instrumental in apprehending these suspects and recovering the victim’s property.” Police located additional property in the vehicle and will be attempting to identify other victims. The three suspects are gang members and have lengthy arrest records. All three suspects reside in El

The San Gabriel Valley Chapter of the NAACP held Officer Installations on March 21. The NAACP is committed to equality and justice for all. The oldest and most effective civil rights organization in the country will continue the fight for freedom until all people have realized the equal hand of justice. Throughout our country’s history there are few words or phrases that have caused as much damage and degradation

to a specific population as the use of the N-word. It is critical to realize that the Nword is not only offensive to the African-American community but to our society as a whole, as it demonstrates a lack of understanding and tolerance for others. The following individuals have been installed: President - Ronald Jones; 1st Vice President Hazel Gaines; 2nd Vice President - James Cousar; Secretary - Michelle Fletcher;

Assist. Secretary - Pat Jones; and Treasurer - Nemiah Miller. Executive Committee Board Members: Janie Mathis, Gwendolyn Jones, William Thigpin, Loretta Cousar, Gene Hurd, Bob Kilpatrick, Olivia James and Carter Sprain. The San Gabriel Valley NAACP meets at 10 a.m. every third Saturday of the month at the West Covina Senior Center, 2501 E. Cortez St., West Covina.

Rosemead High Receives Whole Kids Grant By Anne Donofrio-Holter

Rosemead High School has received a $2,000 Whole Kids Foundation Grant for its “Best of Thymes” edible garden, which students established as part of the Green Apple Day of Service. "The goal of the garden is to create smarter, healthier, more inspired students," said Joe Vasquez, Rosemead High School teacher and garden coordinator. "The grant allows students to learn more about sustainability and health by immersing themselves in real science." Students have been excitedly watching lettuce and cabbage beds sprout and grow as their garden progresses at a natural pace. Students plan to plant and harvest fwoods that will help them engage culturally through food. They are also looking to engage other members of the campus through succulent propagation and cut flower gardens, which will use raised beds purchased by principal Dr. Brian Bristol. Students have also experimented with a vertical garden which they de-

signed and installed, and are turning an empty patch near the school's marquee on Mission Drive and Rosemead Boulevard into a water-wise grade. Students are digging shallow trenches to collect rain water and sprinkler runoff, as well as

"We are also planning to create native habitats for birds and pollinators on campus," said Vasquez. According to Vasquez, the grant will be used to expand and sustain the garden. "We will build more beds and create cross curricular opportunities," he said. "Produce grown will either be donated to local groups or sold to campus staff as part of a community supported agriculture program. We hope this will promote sustainability among our students."

Temple City Ranked 37th Safest Municipality in the State

Temple City was named one of the safest California cities by SafeWise.com, a security organization focused on safety education. “This ranking just proves that Temple City is a great place to live,” said Mayor Tom Chavez. ”I’d like to commend our public safety officials, firefighters, police officers and our residents for working so hard to keep our community safe.” In compiling the list, SafeWise used the most recent FBI crime data from 2013 to analyze and rank cities. Data was gathered on the number of violent and property crimes reported, and then calculated by the chance of these crimes hap-

pening out of 1,000 people. “When we explored recent FBI Crime Report data, we were impressed to discover that 42 of the 50 safest cities on our list reported no murders,” SafeWise security analyst Alexia Chianis said. “We also found that the average violent crime rate of California’s safest places to call home was 70 percent less than the typical American community experiences, and its property crime rate was nearly 60 percent less than the national average. Those are some really impressive numbers!” In discussing its ranking, SafeWise credited Temple City’s strong com-

munity relationships and low crime rate as a factor. The report stated, “It’s the kind of place where neighbors know each other’s names, which delivers a strong message to criminals that they’re not welcome here.” Public Safety Supervisor Bryan Ariizumi said that the City’s safety record was due to its neighborhood watch program and involved community members. “Over the past year, suspects from various burglary cases were arrested because neighbors reported suspicious activity to the Sheriff ’s Department,” said Ariizumi.

fosters public school choice by allowing parents to transfer their children to participating school districts without a transfer agreement. California’s District of Choice program gives both parents and students the right to decide which school is best for them and their academic needs (especially helping those who want to get out of underperform-

ing school districts). It also compels many schools and districts to regroup and make positive changes to ensure that both students and their parents desire to remain within the district they reside. Without the enactment of SB 597, the School District of Choice program will end in July of next year. Senator Huff’s legislation will keep the program run-

ning until July, 2017. “There are many school districts in California that enroll a great number of students from outside of their district boundaries under this program,” said Senator Huff. “Ending the District of Choice program right now could, and mostly likely would, send several small districts into a chaotic, death spiral of declining enrollment.”

Preliminary plans also call for streetscape improvements featuring a variety of flowering plants and trees. Duarte's share of the cost for the project's planning and design phase is $38,000, and state funds total $148,000. Overall the project's estimated budget is $1.7 million — $341,000 from Duarte and $1.3 million from the state. Council Member Liz Reilly pointed out the city's contribution will come from the Proposition A special revenue fund, not the general fund budget.

"The Proposition A local return portion is a dollar amount that's given to all municipalities, so we're using that fund specifically," Casillas explained in an interview. "So it is not a gas tax or general fund. There are a bunch of different activities that you can choose from. We're using Prop. A funds for the local match." Casillas estimated the city would start accepting bids from project design consultants by the end of the year. Construction is slated for completion in 2017, according to the staff report.

shopping, and community facilities on the north side of the I-210 freeway that is currently a barrier to travel due to lack of sidewalks. "Improvements include sidewalks and bike paths on Duarte Road between Mountain Avenue and Hope Drive and bike paths on Highland Avenue between the station and Royal Oaks Drive," the report continues. "The project will complete a block long gap with a new sidewalk on the west side of Highland Avenue south of Evergreen Avenue and include citywide way-finding signage."

Protect Local Citrus Trees

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.

Sierra Madre Couple Fights City in “Craziness” of Court Battle Over Proper Permits, Which Couple Says They Had and Sierra Madre Has “Lost”

sary to resolve the project’s tainted status. Frustrated from inaction that stretched well past a year from the June 2009 stop order, the Hildreths sent a letter in October 2010 to the Sierra Madre City Council that was highly critical of officials. The letter accused the city’s administrators of corruption akin to the wrongdoing officials from Bell in South Los Angeles County were at the time under investigation for perpetrating. The Hildreths also contacted a number of state and county officials, demanding they investigate Sierra Madre officials. “The City of Sierra Madre is using the same

playbook that the City of Bell used, concerning their bond, building fees, property tax assessments, and water rates,” the Hildreths wrote. “The City Manager did not like it at all,” said Taryn Hildreth. “I think those letters embarrassed her and she was just like ‘pull out all stops, I don’t care what it takes. I want these people out of town.’” The city struck back in December 2010 with its lawsuit and the Hildreths found themselves in court, which granted the city’s request for an injunction to the stop the construction project. City Manager Elaine Aguilar countered that no valid permits for the project

nances.” Because the litigation is ongoing, Aguilar declined to comment further but provided a statement the city released in 2011. “The Hildreths were originally given permission to start their development in 1999, which the City approved in the form of a conditional use permit,” according to the statement. “The Hildreths did not commence the use of the premises within the time period required under the terms of the conditional use permit. It was subsequently discovered that the Hildreths had undertaken construction under their home and no permits could be identified or located authorizing such work. The Hildreths likewise could not produce any valid and approved permits for the work.” Taryn Hildreth questioned the officials’ supposed inability to locate her permits and said that construction work had not ceased. “How do you have five concrete pours without inspections?” she said. “You can’t do it. There’s these big concrete trucks. The pours were approved; it is craziness.” While researching the

case, the Hildreths’ attorney, David Rosenbaum, said an assistant discovered evidence that revealed the city’s efforts to digitize building permits beginning in 1999 and continuing through 2007. Budget documents from 2000 to 2005 show that the city’s “Electronic Archiving effort ... completed all building and safety permits to the current date, all Variance, C.U.P. and map cases from the current date, back to 1990.” Aguilar vehemently denied the city destroys planning documents. “Absolutely not, and I can’t say that more strongly,” she said. Hildreth attempted to sum up the motivation for the city’s legal action against her and her husband: “[Aguilar] doesn’t care because she doesn’t have a vested interest in Sierra Madre; she goes home to another city at night. And the attorneys — it’s billable hours for them. At the end of the day, they’re happy that this continues. It’s not their personal lives and they really just don’t care. It’s not a dime out of their pockets either; it’s the taxpayers of Sierra Madre who are footing this bill.”

Three School Board Members Take Office; Dr. Elizabeth Pomeroy Elected President Roy Boulghourjian, Patrick Cahalan, and Larry Torres were sworn into office Monday as new members of the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) Board of Education at the board’s annual organizational meeting Monday. All three board members were elected to office March 10, 2015. Also at the meeting, Dr. Elizabeth Pomeroy was unanimously elected president of the PUSD Board of Education by a vote of 6-0. “I am truly honored to be in this role as board president and will give it my very best,” said Board President Pomeroy. “I plan on following the words of former Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard to ‘first listen’ and I hope to carry on in that same vein.” Dr. Pomeroy was originally elected to the board in 2009 and currently represents District 5. Following the election of Dr. Pomeroy as board president, Kim Kenne was re-elected as board vice president and Roy Boulghourjian was elected board clerk. Roy Boulghourjian has been a resident of Pasadena for over 30 years. He has spent over 20 years as an educator teaching high school math and economics including serving as a vice-principal for four years. Currently he is a college professor and department chair at Mt. Sierra College in Monrovia. He has served as a board member of both the Pasadena Educational Foundation and the Measure TT Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee. Before becoming an educator, Boulghourjian worked in the construction field and later in the diamond wholesale business. Roy has

a passion for languages and speaks Armenian, French, Arabic and Turkish in addition to English. He lives with his wife Ema and their two daughters, Sharon and Meg. Roy loves staying active by playing basketball as often as he can. Patrick Cahalan has a long career in educational technology, beginning in the mid-1990s at Loyola High School in downtown Los Angeles. His current position is manager of technical operations for the Computational and Mathematical Sciences (CMS) Department at Caltech, where he has worked since 2002. Pat has a master’s degree in information systems and technology, and is a Ph.D. candidate in information systems and technology at Claremont Graduate University (CGU), with a research focus on designing information systems for regional-wide disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. His two minor programs are in CGU’s schools of politics and economics as well as organizational science. Prior to his election to the PUSD School Board, Cahalan served on the District Advisory Council of PUSD, most recently as vice chairman, and the School Site Council at Longfellow Elementary, most recently as chairman. His wife Kitty Cahalan is president of the PTA Council of PUSD and the former president and current treasurer of the Longfellow Elementary PTA. Pat and Kitty have two children attending PUSD schools. Larry Torres first started teaching in the Los Angeles Unified School District in 1986. Hired as a junior high school social studies teacher in El Sereno, he

was a pioneer in the middle school movement in Los Angeles. In 1993 he moved to City of Angels School, an alternative K-12 program that works with students who need a non-traditional educational experience. He grew up in nearby Eagle Rock before moving east to attend college. Mr. Torres graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut with a double major in history and political science. He attended the Harvard Graduate School of Education where he earned a master’s degree in teaching, curriculum and learning environments. He also received a certificate of advanced study from Harvard for completing a year of study past his master’s degree. Torres also received an Ed.M. from the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies in educational administration. He is a National Board Certified Teacher, an honor fewer than 3% of teachers earn. Mr. Torres has served on school site councils at Sierra Madre Elementary School, Sierra Madre Middle School, and Pasadena High School since 1999. He lives in Sierra Madre with his wife and two daughters. His older daughter is a former PUSD student who is now at Cal Poly Pomona and his younger daughter attends Pasadena High School. There is currently one vacant seat on the board with the election of Tyron Hampton to the Pasadena City Council. The board is scheduled to determine the process of filling the vacant seat for District 3 at a special meeting May 7th. For more information, visit www.pusd.us/pages/PasadenaUSD.

Pasadena Unified Students and Staff Excel in Los Angeles County Competitions Students and Staff from the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) have recently been recognized as top performers in Los Angeles County. Eugene Field Elementary School students Liam Chia, Aaron Du, Justin Hong and Isabelle Wang were the overall winners for fourth grade in the 2015 Los Angeles County Office of Education’s (LACOE) Math Field Day competition. In addition to winning the overall fourth grade competition,

the students also won a gold medal in the problemsolving category. Other PUSD schools also participated in the event with students from Sierra Madre Elementary School and Sierra Madre Middle School receiving medals. LACOE’s Math Field Day is designed as an enrichment activity to promote mathematical reasoning, teamwork and a balanced mathematics curriculum for all students in upper elementary and middle school.

Burbank Early Learning Center preschool teacher Dina G. Pérez.

Participation allows students to demonstrate their math knowledge through competition in the following elements: computational and procedural skill, conceptual understanding and problem-solving. It is open to four person teams from schools in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles Universal Preschool (LAUP) has announced this year’s Preschool Teacher of the Year recipients with Dina G. Pérez, a preschool teacher at PUSD’s Burbank Early Learning Center, receiving the prestigious honor. The countywide preschool teacher recognition acknowledges the quality, creativity and hard work of those who teach children during a time when, according to researchers, rapid brain development can be leveraged toward long-term academic achievement. Winners hail from each of Los Angeles County’s five supervisorial districts and have gone “above and beyond” to provide excellent learning environments and

classroom experiences for preschool children. For the selection process, LAUP uses an external committee comprised of county officials and early education experts. “Teaching was a natural instinct,” said Pérez. “Working with children has been a rewarding experience, and seeing the results has fueled my passion.”

Old Town Barber Shop photos and story by amelia favela

Old Town Barber Shop is a traditional men’s hair salon located in the heart of Old Town Monrovia. Living up to its name “Old Town” Barber Shop, the business holds tight to the classic setting of the Hollywood Golden Age by being filled with vintage décor and iconic images. Owner Gabriel Vaca works with a staff of nine barbers to provide a variety of men’s grooming services. Members of the family-like staff include flattops specialist John Salazar; former barber instructor Tony Perez, who focuses on traditional gentlemen’s haircuts; Joe A.K.A. Pep Garcia, who is also a former barber instructor; Gilbert, whose main skill is regular cuts; straight edge facial shave specialist Max; all-around-barber Casey Harrington; Carlos Mata, who is popular with the customers; Ralph Carillo and Sam. As a former barber at his brother’s barbershop, Vaca knew he wanted to someday own his own shop too. Vaca achieved that goal when he purchased Old Town Barber Shop; formerly known as Alexis Barbershop, in 1995. Over the years, Vaca has managed to go from utilizing only one station to now having six stations. “I started with one chair, eventually got the second and third going … and now I have six chairs total,” he told us. Vaca’s diligence has proven to pay off, as he will now be celebrating the shop’s 20th anniversary later this year. Some of the services offered at the shop include

facial shaves, military flats, gentlemen’s business cuts, traditional cuts with taper backs, medium conservative haircuts, and even fauxhawks. According to Vaca, the regular clientele you can find at the shop usually consists of ethnically diverse middle-aged men. However, the business offers “first hair cut” certificates as well as a senior citizens’ discount, so children and senior men can also be seen visiting Old Town Barber Shop on a regular basis. As with any barbershop, the company struggles when business is slow. “If there’s not enough customers, peo-

as a solution by creating an Instagram and a Facebook account that allows him to interact with customers and promote the company. Although a casual atmosphere, Old Town Barber Shop works diligently to uphold a professional, clean environment. The barbers remain consistent by always being on time and remembering their customers’ usual cuts and styles. The ultimate goal of Vaca is to relocate the busi

ple aren’t making their paycheck, that can be a struggle … but most of the time, we’re fine,” said the owner. Vaca has turned to social media

ness into a building of his own. He said he would move forward with purchasing his own property, which he hopes will be in Monrovia, when he feels the time is right, “If God opens the way, I will pursue [buying] a property.” Till then, Vaca and his crew will remain in Old Town Monrovia, providing barberrelated services to the best of their ability. Contact Old Town Barber Shop at (626) 3584310, visit them at 111 E. Lemon Ave. Monrovia, CA 91016, or find them on Instagram @OldTownBarbers.

Rep. Chu Reintroduces CREED Act to Help Small Business Owners Yesterday, Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27) reintroduced the Commercial Real Estate and Economic Development Act (CREED Act). The bill will help small businesses expand their access to capital by extending the Small Business Administration’s 504 Loan Refinancing Program for five years. Rep. Chu released the following statement: “Small businesses account for two out of every three new jobs created. Which means that the best way to cement the gains of the still fragile economic recovery is to put more capital in the hands of those job creators. And that is exactly what this bill will do. While small businesses continue to face challenges with unreasonable real estate loans, this bill allows businesses to take advantage of low interest rates by refinancing existing loans and locking in long-term, fixed-rate financing so that they can create jobs and boost economic growth. All at zero cost to the taxpayers! This is a smart, bipartisan policy that works, but it has not been reauthorized since the 2012 trial year. At that time, over 2,700 businesses refinanced nearly $7 billion in old, expensive debt. Extending the program for another five years would help an additional 250,000

small businesses, saving each of them up to $20,000 per month.” The Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 504 Loan Refinancing Program allowed small businesses to refinance their eligible fixed assets, like commercial property, through the SBA’s 504 program. This program pairs governmentguaranteed loans made by nonprofit certified development companies with conventional loans. It allowed small businesses to lock in long-term, stable financing, and finance eligible business expenses as well as protect jobs and hire additional workers. The program was enacted in 2011 and expired on September 27, 2012. There is bipartisan companion legislation introduced in the Senate by Sen. Shaheen, S.966.

Duarte Ralphs to Close in July

Clyde Roy Stelling August 22, 1929 – May 5, 2015 Clyde Stelling died last week at Huntington Memorial Hospital. He was born in San Francisco California on August 22, 1929. A second-generation American of German ancestry, he was the only child of Roy and Dora Stellings. The Stellings owned a grocery store in San Francisco and Clyde worked there while attending school and before enlisting the in Air Force. After his tour of duty in the service, Clyde began working for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company in San Francisco. He became one of the company’s youngest and most successful salesmen. In the early 1950s Clyde moved from the bay area and opened the Liberty Mutual offices in Santa Ana and Long Beach. Eventually he became a Vice President of Liberty Mutual working on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. Clyde and his family lived in Palos Verdes before moving to Monrovia in 1972. He opened C. R. Stelling Insurance in Monrovia in 1974 and remained active in the business until

shortly before his death. Those are the bare facts; the person was much more complex. Listening to friends and family reminisce about the man fills out the picture. One son-in-law called Clyde “a giver” writing that “his life was characterized by a propensity to always give more than he would take.” That son-in-law, Tim Smith, went on the write: “Those of us who knew and loved him are better today because of the positive influence he had on us. He was passionate about life and that passion extended to family, friends and even strangers. Clyde had an uncanny ability to connect with complete strangers, which was a constant source of entertainment for the family. We knew that within minutes those strangers would soon be over for drinks or dinner; strangers no more. “His kids and extended family were all beneficiaries of his most special gift; his undivided attention. He always had time for you. During the worst of times

he would ask you to tell him a success story. Sometimes we’d have to dig deep to satisfy his expectations, but as he encouraged our storytelling we would

find our way to solve our own challenges. It was undoubtedly part of his master plan. His endless encouragement and inevitable positive spin seemed to get us refocused on the positive. Interestingly, his optimism wasn’t reserved for the good times. He would light the low roads with the same high-beam optimism and unbridled enthusiasm that characterized the rest of his life. Anything was

possible. “Success was no stranger to Clyde, but in spite of his success he enjoyed in life he was ever-approachable, always in the moment and, at times, even self-effacing. Even as an adult he lived life with the enthusiasm of a boy, scouring the paper every day looking for old cars or real estate that he just couldn’t live without. He bought the old Studebaker summer home on a whim. He saw it while driving through Monrovia, liked it, and walked up and knocked on the door and made a deal to buy a house that wasn’t even for sale! He even bought a 1918 Studebaker convertible to park in the driveway. ” It is also a tribute to the man that his other sonin-law had worked with him for many years. Tom Suess worked closely with his father-in-law, not just in business, but also in his many personal pursuits and interests. Angela Taylor, who also worked with Clyde at Stelling Insurance, remembered that Clyde had

survived the Curve Fire in 2002 by submerging himself along with his dog Bandit and a friend in a manmade pond by his Mt. Baldy Cabin while the fire burned around them. That fire ultimately destroyed the cabin he loved so much, but Clyde survived. Angela also remembered that one of Clyde’s favorite things was hearing about the success of other people. He would ask people for positive stories and relish hearing them. Another close family friend Kris Mariconda simply summed up what the man meant to her and her family saying: “Clyde Stelling was one of the most generous souls one could know. He enjoyed entertaining friends and “strangers” mostly because those “strangers” soon became new friends - no one was a stranger for long with Clyde Stelling!” At his request, there will be no formal services. Clyde is survived by all those whose lives he touched and the entire city of Monrovia which he loved.

The city of Duarte received formal notice from the Ralphs Grocery Company on April 30th that it will be closing its Duarte location in July, 2015. This is a corporate decision by Ralphs based on a variety of different business factors, including that the Duarte Market was consistently one of its lowest-performing stores and that many who shop at this store do a portion of shopping elsewhere, making the current model in the City unsustainable. Darrell George, Duarte City Manager, commented, “Although this is a private matter between the Ralphs Corporation and a private shopping center owner, the City is committed to doing whatever it can to help attract another grocery use to Duarte. “ The City has received numerous complaints and concerns over Ralphs decire sion jand that us recommends d complaints with t sbeulodged ce ol d p office the Ralphs corporate d! rThose at 1-800-576-4377. ice with computer access can make comments at https:// www.ralphs.com/customercomments.

ALTADENA FARMERS MARKET Educating on Domestic Technology photos and story by MAY S. RUIZ beit quaint setting. Joseph conducted a “healthy snacks for kids” demonstration at the Aveson Charter School opening. Last summer, he and Elizabeth organized food demos with their market vendors. Salim served as facilitator for the market, and provided such services as marking designated areas for each vendor, assisting farmers put up stalls, making sure there is electricity powering the area, and helping out in the actual selling at various booths. Some changes took place in the meantime. The Altadena Community Garden assumed sponsorship from the Altadena Heritage. Last year, Elizabeth Bowman took over from Joseph Shuldiner as Manager of the Altadena Farmers Market, and Salim Moore moved up to the spot she vacated. Together, Elizabeth and Salim continue Joseph’s legacy of making farmers market food more accessible, cooking with raw ingredients, stretching the food budget. They show people how they can feed a family of four on a $25 budget using fresh, locally grown produce. Joseph was the first participant in

the $25 Challenge. As the Altadena Farmers Market heads into its fourth year of operation since its founding, it is thriving as more urban growers and regional organic farms establish their business

It is a true community endeavor – food crafters use produce and ingredients they buy from the urban farmers in the other tents. There is a palpable feeling of congeniality – regular customers come up and chat with vendors, stall owners visit with other farmers. A lot of ideas-swapping goes on throughout the afternoon. Performers provide music later on and further enliven the mood at the market. The general atmosphere evokes an image of times past when life was simpler, when the food on the table were made from ingredients freshly picked from the garden and were shared with neighbors. Today the Altadena Farmers Market continues to be a flourishing endeavor. It has evolved into a true reflection of its entrepreneurial manager, Elizabeth Bowman – young and vibrant, with a definitely contagious positive outlook!

WE HAVE “SOMETHING” YOU NEED

S E N

It all started when Joseph Shuldiner taught classes at the Altadena Urban Farmers Market at the Zane Grey Estate in Altadena. This underground market became a means for growers in the area to share information and exchange goods. Somehow, Los Angeles County officials got wind of this activity and took it as a sign that there was a need for a community market. They approached Joseph about starting a Certified Farmers Market in the park and on May 30, 2012, he established the Altadena Certified Farmers Market. Elizabeth Bowman, writing her thesis to earn her Master’s degree on Urban Sustainability from Antioch University, heard about Joseph’s program. A young woman with a mission to devise ways to get locally grown food to people in the community, she joined this urban farming project. Meanwhile, Salim Moore, interning for Pasadena Magazine, was researching for a story he was writing on “Flour & Tea.” He was reading back issues of the publication “to get a feel for their writing style” and ran across Joseph’s Institute of Domestic Technology. He immediately sent an email to Joseph, and the rest is history. It was serendipity. Three individuals coming from different background and circumstances happened upon each other born out of one concept. Elizabeth served as Assistant Secretary of Urban Farming. She helped backyard growers understand the various regulations and certification requirements of the Department of Agriculture and L.A. County. She was also instrumental in securing certification for a handful of backyard farmers with L.A County’s agricultural commissioner. The Farmers Market found a sponsor in the Altadena Heritage, a non-profit, volunteer-based advocacy organization dedicated to protecting, preserving and raising awareness of the rich architectural, environmental, and cultural heritage of this foothill community. Every Wednesday from 4 to 8 p.m. in spring/summer, and from 3 to 7 p.m. during fall/winter, at the Loma Alta County Park, about half a dozen urban farmers, a few regional organic farms, and prepared food vendors set up shop in this bustling, al-

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.

Pasadena Unified’s Blair HS, Marshall and PHS Receive Silver Medal in Best High Schools Rankings U.S. News & World Report May 12 announced the 2015 Best High Schools rankings, highlighting topperforming public schools on a state and national level. The 2015 rankings, available exclusively at usnews.com, include data on more than 21,150 public high schools. The School for the Talented and Gifted in Dallas, Texas, earns the No. 1 spot nationally for the fourth straight year, followed by BASIS Scottsdale in Arizona at No. 2 and Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Virginia, at No. 3. Congratulations to Pasadena Unified’s Blair

High School, Marshall Fundamental Secondary School and Pasadena High School for receiving a Silver Medal and being nationally ranked as part of the U.S. News and World Report 2015 Best High Schools rankings. U.S. News differentiates high schools with gold, silver and bronze medals, using gold medals to indicate the greatest level of college readiness. In this year’s edition of Best High Schools, 6,517 schools received medals. Maryland claims the highest percentage of top-performing high schools, with nearly 30 percent of its eligible schools earning gold or silver medals. California comes in sec-

ond with 27 percent, followed by Connecticut with 25 percent. A state-by-state breakdown is available here. “A high school diploma is essential for career and financial success,” said Brian Kelly, editor and chief content officer of U.S. News & World Report. “The Best High Schools rankings are a useful tool for families trying to discern how well schools are serving their students in preparation for college and careers.” To create the 2015 Best High Schools rankings, U.S. News worked with RTI International, a North Carolina-based research firm. New this year, the Best High

Schools methodology was updated to reduce volatility in the rankings from year to year. The Best High Schools website includes data for thousands of schools, including enrollment; diversity; participation in free and reduced-price lunch programs; and the results of state assessments, Advanced Placement® and International Baccalaureate tests.

Pasadena Chamber and PUSD Partner to Help High School Seniors With Internships

46 Pasadena Unified School District high school students plan to spend their summer interning in the culinary arts, law and public service, and health sectors. These upcoming seniors are eager to explore careers of interest while applying their skills to the workplace. Working with the College and Career Pathways office at PUSD, the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce is finding in-

ternship opportunities and placing students with employers this summer. Students will be required to serve a minimum of 60 hours of internship between June 8 and August 14, 2015. The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce is collaborating with the Pasadena Unified School District, Ideal Youth, the City of Pasadena and Chamber members to find intern placements.

The Chamber's Workforce Development Coordinator, Amy Foell, is working to find placements for students in the Health Careers Academy, Culinary Arts and Hospitality Academy, both at Blair High School, and the Law and Public Service Academy at Pasadena High School. Interested businesses may contact Amy@ pasadena-chamber.org or call Ms. Foell at (626) 7953355.

“Job shadowing and mentorship provides context for students,” said Ms. Foell. “The work experience helps students be better informed and more able to connect the internship to future career goals.” Students in the program plan to either enter the workforce upon graduation or allow the internship to help shape their college experience and future plans.

Monrovia Defeats San Marino 3-2; Undefeated With One Game Left by jacob bigley

Monrovia headed into Tuesday’s away game undefeated in league at 10-0 with only San Marino High left on their schedule. The standings are already locked, Monrovia will come out on top of the Rio Hondo League standings with San Marino behind in second, but it’s only fitting to end the league season with the top two teams battling for bragging rights. San Marino’s left-handed UCI commit Miles Glazier (#20) took the mound in hopes of giving the Monrovia Wildcats their first league loss of the season. At the top of the first, Glazier started off hot; retiring the first three batters at the plate. Pitching for the Wildcats was also a left-hander, Isaiah Ramos (#9). The Titans’ lead-off hitter Bryson Smith (#4) singled to left and stole second on a passed ball. After a strikeout, Garrett Hill (#12) bunted towards Ramos, who picked it up and delivered an off-target throw to first base, allowing Smith to reach home and give the Titans a 1-0 lead. The Wildcats were then able to string together three consecutive hits: Fidel Jiorge (#2), a single; Juan Quinonez (#21), a double to left center; and James Wright (#5), a double to left center, scoring Jiorge and tying the game at 1-1. In the bottom of the 5th, Smith led off with a double down the left field line followed by a ground out, which advanced him to second base. Garrett Hill (#12) singled between third and shortstop, giving Smith the green light to round third base and head home, putting the Titans back in the lead 2-1.

Monrovia decided to make a pitching change; replacing Ramos with Justin Rosedale (#10). Rosedale walked J.P. Shohfi (#23), resulting in runners on first and second. A groundball was hit to second baseman Ben Goettling (#26), who scooped up the grounder, tagged the runner headed to second base, and threw out the man at first for a double play. The Monrovia Wildcats began the top of the sixth inning with a walk from Nick Garcia (#27) but he was replaced by Marcelo Vega (#23) to pinch run. Vega showed why the switch was made by stealing second base and beating the throw. Up next, Isaiah Ramos grounded a ball back to the pitcher who, instead of taking the easy out at first, tried to pick off Vega heading for third. The throw was off-target, which allowed Vega to pop up from his sliding formation and trot home to tie the game 2-2. Pinch hitter Austin Crain (#16) stepped into the box and a controversial hit-by-pitch call was made by the umpire. After some debate, the umpires met at the mound and decided the ruling “stands as called.” Crain was subbed out for pinch runner Anthony Ramirez (#4).With runners on first and second and no

outs, Eric Herrera (#13) hit a routine grounder to third base. The third baseman made a bad throw to first, which resulted in Ramos scoring the go-ahead run and, ultimately, the game-winning run. Trevor Davis (#33) relieved Glazier, who finished with eight strikeouts, two walks, three runs, four hits and 1.40 ERA in five innings of pitching. Davis was able to retire the next three batters with a ground out, strikeout, and another strikeout. In the 7th, Carson Glazier came back in to relieve Davis and pitched out the inning. San Marino’s final ups were kept to only three batters by pitcher Justin Rosedale, who recorded a groundout, strikeout, and fly-out to put the Titans away and remain undefeated in League. Monrovia capitalized on errors made by San Marino. Change just a couple of plays in this game, and the result could have been very different. But-that’s baseball. These two teams’ final game of the regular season is against each other at Monrovia High on May 14th at 3:30 p.m. Both teams will receive a bid into the CIF tournament for finishing one-two in the Rio Hondo League standings. This final game will be San Marino’s last chance to take that undefeated title away from Monrovia, but I have a feeling Monrovia will have a couple things to say about that possibility.
