Weekend Event Harkens Pasadena’s Pre-Auto Days
In the 1890s people suddenly were interested in bicycles. Capitalizing upon this trend, Pasadena opted to build an elevated bike “toll road” connecting what is now considered “Old Town,” with what in L.A. is now either roughly Olvera Street or somewhere near where City Hall currently stands. Swooping along the Arroyo Secco, this path could have been one of the defining regional transport systems between Pasadena and Los Angeles, were it to have been completed. Had it been built, the Pasadena/Los Angeles cycle path could have been a throughway for cyclists and health

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com Reader Thanks Arcadia for Listening to Crosswalk Questions Dear Editor: I want to thank Philip Wray, Arcadia Deputy Development Services Director, for responding to my
letter which appeared in the April 30, 2015 edition. In response to the letter he wrote on May 20, 2015, I have a few suggestions. First of all, after over a year of asking the same questions of many city officials someone actually
took the time to respond to my questions of Pedestrian Crossings near schools. Thank you for taking time to respond. I now understand the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control and the rules they have adopted. But
there are exceptions to the rules. The signal on Campus Drive in front of Arcadia HS has the yellow pedestrian crossing signs. So does the intersection controlled with signals at Duarte Ave. and Holly Ave., when traveling South on Holly Ave. just

prior to Duarte there is a yellow pedestrian crossing sign. If we can’t have the yellow signs, how about painting ALL CROSSWALKS near schools with the bright yellow paint (like Temple City’s paint) in the ladder style? This could be done over the summer prior to the 20152016 school sessions. You stated that “The City makes annual visits to each public school to observe traffic safety conditions and makes recommendations improvements.” In the past three years at the three corners (Longley Elementary School) where there is a crossing guard, I have NOT seen any changes in signs, signal walk times, etc. Have they made suggestions for improvement at Longley School? If so, what changes do they plan? I would like to see the City Engineer, the Transportation Services Manager, and the Police Traffic Sergeant (out of uniform and no police car) visit each school where a crossing guard is stationed. They need to spend time with each guard and observe what is actually happening. The guard could point out signal problems, u-turn problems, drivers not following the crossing guard’s instructions while in the crosswalks, etc. Drivers need to be informed about California traffic laws. Maybe a flyer could be made up stating the Vehicle Code and passed out at the crosswalks near schools (15 minutes prior to school starting) by police cadets and VIPS. Of course it would have to be written in several different languages. California Vehicle Code States: 2815 cvc: Stop for Crossing Guard stop sign: Requires vehicles to stop and remain stopped for the Crossing Guard stop sign while the Crossing Guard is crossing students and until the Crossing Guard returns to a place of safety (the sidewalk. Remember to treat the Crossing Guard stop sign like a construction stop sign). It also requires motorists and pedestrians to obey the directions of the Crossing Guard. (Wait on the sidewalk until pedestrians are told it is safe to cross. Cars to wait when directed by the Crossing Guard until told it is okay to go.) 21970a cvc: Blocking crosswalks and sidewalks with a vehicle: No person shall stop a vehicle unnecessarily in a manner that causes a vehicle to block a
marked or unmarked crosswalk or sidewalk. The best time to see what is happening is 15 minutes prior and 10 minutes after school starts in the morning. In the afternoon the best time is also 15 minutes prior and 10 minutes after school lets out. It’s only 25 minutes out of their busy day. It should be done at least two times at each crosswalk where there is a four-way stop sign or signal and a crossing guard is stationed. I would suggest the first visit should be at Longley Way and Woodruff Ave. where there is a four-way stop sign in front of the school. Observe what happens at that corner on a daily basis. I have worked that corner in previous years; drivers block the crosswalk so the guard cannot cross the kids; when the guard is in the crosswalk drivers make left/right turns through the crosswalk, and drivers do not stop when instructed to by the guard. The drivers need to be educated about crosswalks and crossing guards. I give that crossing guard KUDOS for working there. Since I wrote the first letter, strangers have stopped their car and walked over to me to tell me how much they appreciated me bringing the problems of traffic to the attention of the city. People drive by honk and give me thumbs up. Again, thank you Philip Wray for taking the time to respond to my first letter. Finally someone listened and just didn’t say I’ll look into it. -E.

Mom Always Said … By Dorothy Denne My Mom had a storehouse of clichés. She often used them to teach me the lessons of life that she felt were important. Cleanliness was one of the things very important to her. Mom always said, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." Well, in that regard, I'm afraid I'm not quite as close to God as I used to be. There was a time when you could move any piece of furniture in my house and it would be as clean behind it as in front of it. Now it's not guaranteed. Mom always said, "Her kitchen is so clean, you could eat off the floor." There was also a time when that described mine to a T. Now it sometimes looks like someone has eaten off it. Mom always said, "Anything worth doing is worth doing right." Somewhere along the timeline of life, I discovered the feather duster. Maybe not exactly right, but things look pretty good. At first, it was a great way to handle the little in-
between cleanings. Now my in-betweens have sometimes become the regular cleanings that they used to be between. Mom always said, "Cut the mustard and get your work done first. There will be plenty of time left to play." Yesterday I knew it was time to do it right. I got out the vacuum, the mop, the dust rag, the spray polish and went to work. I moved pictures, picked up knick-knacks and hauled furniture. I discovered dust that had been around long enough to form a real relationship with the surfaces upon which it lay. I polished and scrubbed 'til everything was shiny and spotless. I was next to Godliness. You could eat off my floor. I had done it right. I had cut the mustard, but there was no time or energy left to play. Next time I'm going to play first, but I'll still do as Mom always said: I'll "put on clean underwear in case I'm in an accident."

–WINNER–
BY Emmy Hernandez Certified Financial Planner® Practitioner, Attorney at Law Emmy, my son asked me and my wife for a sizable personal loan to pay down his debt. With some reshuffling, we probably can help but should we?
With so little background information, I’m hard-pressed to be of much help. But I shall try: First, treat this as a traditional business transaction. Take a clear-eyed look at the financial and emotional risks of making this loan. Then, decide if the possible outcomes fit within your risk-tolerance range. Sorry to sound so clinical, but this is probably the best way to begin. Imagine the worst case scenario, financially. Would it be a show-stopper if this debt can’t be repaid? Even if you can afford a loss now - look ahead. If you were to find yourself in unexpected financial difficulty, expensive medical bills for example, are there any reserve funds to access in an emergency? People close to, or in, retirement may not have the opportunity to make up for the loss of a large amount of money. Closely examine if this loan truly protects your son from an equally significant harm. If you chose to take this fi-
nancial risk, ensure that the benefits are long lasting. Also, would your relationship with your son, or other family members, be substantially eroded if the funds weren’t repaid? Have several open conversations between yourselves, and then with your family about this possibility. Long-term family tension could be of greater consequence then any loss of money. To move forward on the loan, everyone must be on the same page. Properly document this loan. Outline clear-cut repayment terms in writing and what response can be expected if the terms aren’t met. The loan must be legal and enforceable or the amount of money lent may be deemed a gift by the IRS. You, as the lender, could incur hefty taxes and penalties for any gift over $14,000. For this reason alone, it’s important to charge interest. The rate of interest on the loan should be at least as high as the minimum interest rate set by the IRS – which is currently around 2.3%. Write an agreement that shows
the loan amount, how it will be paid, the rate of interest, and list any collateral or security. Both parties will need to sign the agreement and keep it in a safe place. One of the advantages of writing up such a contract is that if your son doesn’t repay, you might be able to take a tax deduction for a non-business bad debt. Sometimes adult children need financial help. There’s nothing untoward about that. But, if you decide that the risks don’t outweigh the benefits and decline to make the loan, instead consider making a smaller, no-stringsattached gift that doesn’t have to be repaid.

Mail Processing of Vote-by-Mail Ballots Continues to Grow in Importance
As Policy Makers Discuss Options to Increase Turnout ‘Vote Centers’ May Increase Use of Vote-by-Mail Ballots The statewide Association representing California's election officials (California Association of Clerks and Election Officials) urges postal officials to keep voteby-mail ballot operations as a top priority as discussion over the use of vote-by-mail ballots continues to expand. "As the Legislature continues to look at alternatives to increase turnout in California, options such as "vote centers" are being discussed", said Neal Kelley, President of the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials. "It is vital that we work to ensure ballot delivery remains a top priority as the possibility of expanded use of voteby-mail ballots continues to climb", he continued. Voter participation by mail has been increasing in popularity, and will likely continue to increase in the future. Most recently, over 46% of voters in California are registered as perma-
nent vote-by-mail voters. This has increased steadily since 2002 when the percentage of permanent voteby-mail voters was only 8%. This number has only increased over time, and will most likely continue to increase. The number of ballots cast by mail has also increased since 2002. In 2002, 27% of the ballots cast in the General Election were vote-by-mail ballots. As recently as the primary election in 2014, this num-
ber has increased to 69%. In the most recent presidential general election, 6.7 million votes in California were cast by mail. In the majority of California counties nearly 40% of the vote-by-mail ballots returned for the most recent presidential election were received between the Friday before the election, and Election Day. Any delay to the delivery of the ballots could affect hundreds of thousands of ballots across California.

Hear ‘Shakespeare in Song’ by Acclaimed Pasadena Chorale Group AVOLA
A ‘Den of Thieves’ Many may have heard of the Stella Adler Academy in Hollywood and its notable alums -- Marlon Brando, Warren Beatty, and Robert De Niro, to name a few. But not as known are the oftenoverlooked productions that run in the academy’s small theatres where they exhibit the growing talent of some of their greatest pupils. Such is the case for the Stephen Adly Guirgiswritten production, “Den of Thieves,” which opened earlier this month. The play, directed by Alex Aves, follows an incompatible group of thieves composed of a recovering kleptomaniac, her over-idealistic sponsor, her Puerto Rican wannabe ex-boyfriend and his voluptuous stripper girlfriend. After inadvertently stealing $750 thousand dollars from the mob, the unlikely gang of crooks find themselves tied up, arguing about who should live and who should die at the hands of emerging gangster Little Tuna. While the plot offers nothing really revolutionary, from beginning to end, the backand-forth between characters charms us with hilarious dialogue that doesn’t beg for our attention, but rather genuinely seduces us with its organic progression and humor.
But, such humor only really succeeds because of the production’s incredibly impressive cast who are able to take initially stock characters and add a certain level of uniqueness to them. While most in the cast are still considered students of the academy, their talent and professionalism, which we see even in their slightest gestures, really exhibit that these are more than capable actors. Their potential is especially apparent in the second half the play, when they must maintain the play’s energy despite being anchored by duct tape. And while the entire cast deserves kudos, two performers really stand out: Chris Petoski and Alexandra Lemus. Petoski, who plays the Puerto Rican wannabe, Flaco, brings animated comedy, making us laugh with his character’s charming slowwittedness. Simultaneously, Lemus, who plays recovering kleptomaniac Maggie, corrals all of the silliness in, and grounds the play with her character’s very complex, truly human emotions. Now, the Stella Adler venue may be quite small, and the sets quite minimal, but in every artistic aspect, this production is efficient and effective. With good written material, a strong cast and skilled direction,

represent “the dreamers� of society who must salvage mankind from man-made destruction. But of course, the story is much more than this. Without giving away some of the best details and scenarios, much of the film follows the adventure of adult Henry, Newton, and Athena as they attempt to go “back to the future� (or more correctly, back to Tomorrowland) and save the world. In the meantime, we discover that Athena is not human, Newton’s glimpse at Tomorrowland was more of an advertisement than reality, and Henry has grown cynical that the world can ever improve. Throughout the story, humor and action match perfectly, in only a way Damon Lindelof has mastered so well. His artistic creativity is on full display as he imagines a world that is simultaneously in the future and in the present. At the same time, it cannot go without notice that the entire art direction of this film is brilliant with scenes from an imaginary world where cars fly, there is a hover public transport, and people can dive in swimming pools several stories high (with the greatest of ease, of course). One of my favorite as-
pects of the film is the score composed by Michael Giacchino. The waves of drama in his sound are matched by the adventurous and futuristic tone of the film itself. And quite honestly, the crescendo toward the end of the film, combined with the obvious creative approach by the director to hone in on the movie’s message one final time, made me tear up a bit. However, therein lays one of the flaws of Tomorrowland. For adults more so than children, perhaps the film returns so much to the clear message of humanity’s role in the demise of societies that it becomes a bit dull at times. This, of course, is not the first time that children’s films have possessed an underlying societal message; and there is no doubt that many of these messages (whether transparent or not) are important. However, redundancy can often be distracting to the fun of the film as a whole. And it was the fun of Tomorrowland that makes it worth watching (with the entire family). This is a completely family-friendly movie. It is a film to start the summer movie season with. Humorous and filled with imagination, Tomorrowland is a film worthy of the Disney brand.
The Pasadena Playhouse presents the world premiere musical Waterfall, an epic 1930s love story set in Bangkok and Tokyo. Featuring a glorious romantic
score from one of the creators of Miss Saigon, Richard Maltby, Jr., and an Academy Award-winning composer, David Shire, Waterfall plays May 29 through June 28.
Waterfall marks a groundbreaking collaboration between American and Asian theatrical artists. The musical will be directed by Broadway and Thai theatrical impresario Tak Viravan and co-directed and choreographed by Tony Awardnominee Dan Knechtges.

The Pasadena Playhouse will feature special events tied into their presentation of Waterfall with their highly acclaimed Talkback Tuesdays post-show conversations.

Disney has been teasing its summer blockbuster Tomorrowland for over a year now. This Friday, audiences nationwide finally had the opportunity to see the studio’s latest addition to its non-animated collection of films. For the young and for the young at heart, Tomorrowland does not disappoint. The film begins in the 1960s as a young Henry Walker (played by Thomas Robinson) goes to the World’s Fair to share his latest invention: a jetpack. Although Hugh Laurie’s character (Nix) is at first not impressed with Henry’s creation, Athena (played by Raffey Cassidy) is enamored by it and invites Henry to come to a fantastical place: Tomorrowland (or better described in the context of this film, the place that “could be�). As suddenly as the audience is introduced to young Henry, the audience also comes to know both adult Henry (played by George Clooney) and the teenage star of the film, Casey Newton (played by Britt Robertson). Newton is somewhat of a young scientific rebel, but more so, she believes in a better world and the progress of scientific research. Both Clooney and Robertson’s characters

When Hunter Keane was seven years old, he was bitten on the nose by a family dog. Now fourteen years old, Hunter and his family understand it wasn’t the dog’s fault; it was theirs. Like many people, they thought the way to show affection to a dog was the same way as showing love to people – by hugging and kissing them. Even though the bite didn’t break the skin, that day taught Hunter and his parents several valuable lessons but one stuck out the most. Most dogs don’t like to be hugged. National Dog Bite Prevention Week®, led by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), is May 17-23, 2015. State Farm and other members of the National Dog Bite Prevention Coalition have joined forces to educate adults and children about ways to reduce dog-related injuries. While an overwhelming majority of interactions with dogs don’t result in injury, most dog bites to children could be
prevented. Children make up more than 50 percent of all dogrelated injury victims. To better understand the level of knowledge about dog behavior among children, the National Dog Bite Prevention Coalition created a quiz focused on children age 5 -9. The quiz was distributed by State Farm and Prevent The Bite to schools and community organizations last month with the results indicating that the need for education about safely interacting with dogs is significant. -710 children answered the dog safety quiz -No child answered all twelve questions correctly -34% of the children indicated they had been bitten by a dog at least once -50% of the children who took the Spanish translated quiz indicated they had been bitten -Only 33% of children correctly answered the question “does an angry dog ever wag his tail?” (the correct answer is YES) -Only 27% of children
correctly answered the question “is a dog that is afraid as dangerous as a dog that is angry?” (the correct answer is YES) -Only 24% of children correctly answered the question “do dogs like to be hugged and kissed?” (the correct answer is NO) Insurance is an important aspect to being a responsible dog owner. When renting a property make sure to have rental insurance because most landlords do not provide coverage should there be a dog bite incident. If you are a homeowner, talk to your insurance agent about what is covered under a standard homeowner policy related to dogs. In 2014, State Farm paid nearly $115 million as a result of 3,500 dog-related injury claims. Over the past five years, the insurer has paid $528 million for claims resulting from accidents involving a dog. State Farm does not ask policyholders what breed of dog is owned when writing homeowner or renters insurance.

10 | MAY 28, 2015 - JUNE 3, 2015
Arcadia PD For the period of Sunday, May 17th, through Saturday, May 23rd, the Police Department responded to 1,005 calls for service of which 134 required formal investigations. The following is a summary report of the major incidents handled by the Department during this period.
May 17 Just before 1:35 a.m., officers responded to the Station Bar, 1218 South Baldwin Avenue, regarding an extra patrol request. Upon arrival, officers heard possible shots fired from the location. An investigation revealed a 25-year-old Chinese male was driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and his passenger, a 27-year-old Hispanic male parolee, was seen firing two shots into the sky. Both were arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking. At approximately 7:78 p.m., an officer responded to 24 Hour Fitness, 125 North First Avenue, regarding a commercial burglary report. The victim returned to the locker room, found his pad lock was missing, and cash taken from his wallet. No suspects were seen and no witnesses were located.
May 18 At about 8:46 a.m., officers responded to Royal Construction, 11680 Goldring Road, regarding a theft report. Surveillance footage revealed two male suspects stole fuses from an unlocked electrical box on Saturday, May 16th, in the early morning hours. The suspects arrived in a white, four-door sedan. The investigation is ongoing. At approximately 5:09 p.m., an officer responded to the Westfield Shopping Town, 400 South Baldwin Avenue, regarding a robbery report. An investigation revealed the victim placed her shopping bags in her trunk, pressed the “Close Trunk” button, and while the door was closing, two female suspects took the bags. When the victim confronted the suspects, one of the suspects pushed the victim, and both fled in a black sedan. Suspect 1 was described as a black female in her late teens with a slim build Suspect 2 was described as a black female in her 20’s with a heavy build. The investigation is ongoing.
May 19 Around 1:14 a.m., officers responded to In and Out Burger, 420 North Santa Anita Avenue,
regarding a possible drunk driver. Officers located the driver asleep in her vehicle while stopped in the drive through lane. The officers detected a strong odor of alcohol emitting from her breath. Through a series of field sobriety tests, the officers determined she was driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage. She was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking. Just after 12:46 p.m., an officer responded to the 000 block of North First Avenue regarding a vehicle burglary report. A Hispanic male in his early 20’s was seen smashing the front passenger side window and stealing the victim’s purse from the front seat. The suspect fled in an awaiting Honda Accord. The investigation is ongoing.
May 20 Shortly after 1:38 a.m., an officer initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle in the area of Michillinda Avenue and the 210 Freeway for having expired registration. Upon contacting the driver, the officer discovered the 21-yearold male of unknown race was driving with an expired license. He was cited and released in the field. His vehicle was left legally parked. At about 2:24 p.m., officers responded to the parking lot of KC Studio, 1 West Duarte Road, regarding two males handling assault rifles in the trunk of their vehicle. Officers contained the area and discovered the weapons were airsoft guns. The subjects were released without incident.
May 21 At approximately 7:58 a.m., an officer responded to the 300 block of West Huntington Drive regarding a report of indecent exposure. During the investigation, the officer determined the indecent exposure call was unfounded but discovered the suspect, a 25-year-old black male, provided the officer with a fraudulent name. A records check of the suspect’s proper name revealed he had an outstanding felony warrant. He was arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking. Around 12:19 p.m., an officer responded to the 200 block of East Foothill Boulevard regarding a theft report. The officer determined unknown suspect(s) removed a backflow valve from the location sometime between 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on this date. No suspects were seen and no witnesses were located.
May 22 Just after 9:39 a.m., an officer conducted an enforcement stop on a vehicle in the area of Mayflower Avenue and Camino Real Avenue for having expired registration.

The 54-year-old Hispanic male was cited and released in the field. At about 11:54 p.m., officers responded to the Westfield Shopping Town, 400 South Baldwin Avenue, regarding a battery report.

Congressman Adam Schiff Mike Gatto’s Bill to Keep Strangers Joins New Coalition of Cities, from Using Your TV to Record Private Conversations Passes State Assembly Launch ‘Beyond the 710’ New Plan to Replace SR-710 The Connected Cities and Communities, comprised of five San Gabriel Valley cities and community allies joined Congressman Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) Thursday morning to announce “Beyond the 710: Moving Forward,” a new plan to replace the long debate over the proposed 710 Tunnel with a set of forwardthinking mobility and smart growth proposals that will better connect people to important destinations and relieve congestion throughout the San Gabriel Valley, while ending the debate over a tunnel proposal that has generated widespread and passionate opposition. “Beyond the 710” dis-
tributed written copies of its plan, which was presented to the Metro Board at its meeting following the morning press conference, and will launch a new website to encourage community participation.

Imagine a television that records and transmits conversations in the privacy of your bedroom. Then imagine words meant to be heard only by your spouse being reviewed by strangers, to discern your personal tastes. This scenario sounds like something straight out of 1984, but it’s real, and it might be in your home right now. Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Glendale), joined by members of the Assembly Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection, authored AB 1116 to protect Californians from this type of unwanted surveillance, and today measure was approved by the full Assembly on a 72-0 vote. The measure will require manufacturers to ensure their television’s voice-recognition feature cannot be enabled without the consumer’s knowledge or consent. AB 1116 also
prohibits manufacturers from utilizing recordings for a use not intended by the consumer. In that way, it preserves the ability to control a television with voice commands, or to make a Skype call using a television, but prohibits manufacturers from using recorded speech to generate targeted advertisements “A family’s home is their castle. Yet new technologies have breached the walls, and now even a family’s most private moments are at risk from the Big Data hordes,” said Gatto. Much to the dismay of civil libertarians, reports have surfaced that televisions can record and transmit private conversations back to the manufacturer or a third-party without the knowledge of the user. While some manufacturers have inconspicuous warnings tucked away in their
user manuals, consumers are largely unaware that what they say can be monitored, recorded, and transmitted to a third party, say, for targeted advertising. “It might be a little creepy if the family discussing financial issues finds themselves receiving targeted commercials from bankruptcy attorneys as they watch their favorite show,” said Gatto. “AB 1116 will give the consumer the ability to personally determine the level of privacy protections inside their home,” Gatto said. “We’re not trying to stymie technological advances or fetter profit margins. The television industry has survived for nearly 100 years without knowing what I said to my wife during an episode of The Bachelor.” The measure will now moves to the Senate for further consideration.

Duarte Residents, Officials Question AQMD on Azusa Air Monitor Delay by joe taglieri
Despite data indicating the air quality in Duarte is currently at a safe level, officials and residents have voiced concerns over the absence of monitoring equipment on the Azusa side of a commercial mining operation that straddles the border between the two cities. A community meeting earlier this month at Duarte City Hall with representatives from the South Coast Air Quality Management District served as the latest venue of public discourse for this contentious issue. For two years officials from Azusa and the AQMD have been unable to reach an agreement on installing a device designed to measure particulate matter, elevated levels of which could potentially pose a public health risk. Dust generated by the Azusa Rock Quarry for years has been the subject of much debate and concern in Duarte and Azusa as a seemingly apparent source of particulate mat-
ter that has been shown to cause asthma and other ailments. In 2010, the city of Duarte sued Azusa and Alabama-based Vulcan Materials Co., which owns the quarry, in an attempt to garner an environmental impact assessment acceptable to Duarte officials. Two and a half years later an appeals court upheld a Los Angeles Superior Court decision that found in favor of Vulcan and Azusa, which approved the company's plan to extract granite aggregate from a ridge on the company's property that overlooks Duarte. The lack of an air quality monitor near the Vulcan property in Azusa was a prominent line of discussion at the public meeting May 5 at the Duarte Community Center. Residents and Duarte City Council members repeatedly asked AQMD officials about the lengthy stalemate. "The city of Azusa had come up with some proposed locations, and AQMD

had also submitted a draft plan that had its own set of proposed locations," replied Jason Low, atmospheric measurements manager for the air quality oversight agency. "That's still in discussion." A March 10 letter to Low from Kurt Christiansen, Azusa's economic and community development director, sheds light on the
rift between the city and air quality officials regarding placement of the monitoring station. "While we understand SCAQMD's preference for collection of data immediately adjacent to the Vulcan Materials site, we note that such a location would not comply with the requirements of ... the Development Agreement" between
Azusa and Vulcan, Christiansen wrote. Azusa has suggested Northside and Slauson parks as potential monitoring sites, according to the letter. At the recent meeting, Low characterized the divide as hinging on Vulcan and Azusa favoring "ambient measurements" of air in the city's urban center, while the AQMD favors placing monitors closer to the Vulcan quarry. "Our proposed location was more toward the northeast side of Azusa to be able to capture that upwind and downwind to see if there's potential movement of particulate matter and differences between what we would see in the city of Duarte's monitor [at Valley View Elementary School] versus what is the proposed monitor that would be in Azusa," Low said in response to a question from Duarte Council Member Margaret Finlay. Christiansen's letter quotes an email Low sent
last June explaining his opposition to the park locations. "[Northside Park] is less than a mile from the [existing] SCAQMD air monitoring station and would likely not be effective about providing more information regarding ambient air quality in Azusa," the letter reports. "Slauson Park may provide more information regarding ambient air in Azusa, but [the park] is farther away from the SCAQMD air monitoring station relative to Vulcan Materials so [it] would not be assessing community impacts." About a mile and a half from Slauson Park and upwind of the Vulcan property, there is a broadly equipped AQMD monitoring station that the agency uses as part of its countywide data collection efforts measuring a range of airborne toxics. Duarte council members said they plan to establish an oversight committee tasked with tracking air quality issues.

Police Officers’ and LASD Deputies’ Random Acts of Kindness Police Officers Extend Their Hands More Than Their Guns by terry miller In recent history, the very mention of a police officer has sadly had a profound negative image burned in the collective mind of Americans. It is, for this very reason, I’d like to share some rarely mentioned acts of extreme kindness and generosity that never seem to make the headlines – until now! With that said, these few examples I cite below are a proverbial drop-in-thebucket, so to speak, of the majority of peace officers everywhere who perform random acts of kindness every day (on and off duty ) – not for notoriety, but to be empathetic and considerate human beings, sworn to protect and serve us. On May 4 this year, the City of Pasadena Police Chief Philip Sanchez received correspondence from a local community member who was stunned by an officer’s kindness helping someone in need. “… Dear Sir, I am writing to inform you of the absolute generosity I just saw one of your officers partake in. Today, around 4 p.m., I was walking out of the Whole Foods on Arroyo Parkway, when I observed security and other Whole Foods Staff standing with an elderly woman. To my shock, I learned the woman was being detained for shoplifting vitamins. This woman was sickly, white hair, of advanced age. She looked disheveled, but not homeless. “Moments later, one of your officers arrived. I’ll admit my nosiness kept me there. Your officer met with staff and then contacted this woman. I heard the woman tell the officer that she’s living on social security and has no money. The officer asked the woman how much the vitamins were. Staff returned and told him the amount, which was over a
hundred dollars. What I saw next amazed me, your officer reached into his wallet and said, ‘I’ll pay for them,’ and handed the staff the cost of the vitamins. The officer told
the elderly women he paid for the vitamins. She was overwhelmed and began to tear up. And, just like that the officer walked away.” Needless to say, Chief Sanchez immediately looked into the matter and quickly discovered that Pasadena Police Officer Barry Glockson was the peace officer involved in this “exceptional example of public service and compassion.” According to Lt. Tracey Ibarra of Pasadena Police Dept., “Stories like this are not uncommon in the city of Pasadena. One year a woman’s purse was stolen, which contained all her food and rent money … the team investigating the crime collected the money the woman lost.” Officer Glockson is to be highly commended. Officer Glockson is not alone in this selfless act of helping a person who may be “down

In fact, the deputy opened the door to what was once a working fridge (circa 1950) and immediately knew what he had to do. That deputy, William Harrington, went out later that same day and bought the young woman a brand new working fridge which was delivered a day or so later. Deputy Harrington went far above and beyond and paid for the appliance with his own money. When I first heard Deputy Harrington’s tale, I said I wanted to do a story. He was reluctant. “I didn’t do it to get a pat on the back. It’s just what we do …” he said casually. Most law enforcement members care deeply about their fellow man - Har-
A Los Angeles firefighter was found guilty today for the beating of a woman who cared for stray cats in their neighborhood, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Jurors deliberated for less than two hours before determining Ian Justin Eulian, 39, was guilty of one count each of battery with serious bodily injury and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury in case BA416446. Deputy Dis-
trict Attorney Joshua Ritter said Eulian approached the woman, who was inside her parked car, on Sept. 14, 2013. Eulian leaned into the
car and yelled at the woman who threw cat kibble at him. The defendant punched the victim twice, then pulled the victim out of her car and hit her again as she fell to the ground where she lay unconscious. Video was played at trial that showed the attack. Sentencing is set for June 30 when Eulian faces up to seven years in state prison. The case was investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Southwest Division.

The picture has more than 19,500 shares by May 15. “There’s a lot of good in America and that needs to be heard. Police need our support.” Owusu said according to a CBS News report. In his weekly commentary last month, “Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer said that the “overwhelming majority of police officers are professionals who deserve to be commended, and that the coverage of some recent police controversies doesn’t paint a complete picture.” Schiefer said it well. An old Editor’s proverb in this business is “If it bleeds, it leads … .” For the majority of news outlets, this is still true today, thereby circumventing some astonishing human stories about the gargantuan benevolence of our local , federal and state police.

LASD - Suspect Sought in Attempted Murder of a Deputy, May 6, 2010, Captured & Returned to the U.S. On Thursday, May 6, 2010 at approximately 1:30 a.m., a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy was working a one-person patrol car in the City of Lomita. She conducted a traffic stop of a black Chevrolet Silverado in the area of the 1700 block of 257th Street, Lomita. While making her approach to the vehicle, the driver fired several rounds at the deputy striking her. The suspect fled the scene in the truck. The suspect was later identified as 34-year-old Ernesto Casillas. Suspect Casillas fled to Mexico where he had been hiding for the past five years. Casillas was arrested for an unrelated charge, by Mexican authorities in the state of Jalisco, sometime last year. He was brought to Los Angeles International Airport, 1 World Way, Los Angeles, where U.S. Marshals’ personnel transferred custody to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide detectives. Casillas was transported to Lomita Sheriff’s Sta-

Billion Dollar ‘New Charter’ Will Show LA Dodgers Charter Communications may begin showing Dodgers games to its Los Angeles subscribers within the next few weeks, the company confirmed following news of its mega deal to buy Time Warner Cable. According to the Associated Press, the $55.33 billion deal, which was announced early Tuesday morning, still needs federal, state and shareholder approval. If the deal is finalized, it will create the largest pay-television provider in Southern California. The new parent company is set to be called New Charter. The agreement is a cash-and-stock deal that will merge Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications and a third cable provider, Bright House. Across the nation, New Charter would serve 23.9 million customers in 41 states. This deal could be a game changer for Los Angeles Dodger fans, according to KABC TV: “For the past two years, Time Warner has carried all Dodgers games exclusively with its SportsNet LA channel. Other cable providers
like DirecTV, Dish Network, AT&T U-Verse and Cox Communications are not currently carrying this channel. This means that more than 70 percent of the Los Angeles market cannot watch most games.” What remains unclear is how this will affect negotiations with those other cable providers. This deal comes a month after Comcast, the country's largest cable provider and owner of NBCUniversal, walked away from a $45.2 billion bid for Time Warner Cable, the number two cable company, after intense pressure from regulators. Time Warner Cable had chosen the Comcast deal and rejected a $38 billion hostile offer from Charter in early 2014. Charter Communications Inc., based in Stamford, Connecticut, will provide $100 in cash and shares of a new public parent company equal to 0.5409 shares of Charter for each outstanding Time Warner Cable Inc. share. The transaction values each Time Warner Cable share at about $195.71, according to multiple reports.

Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts Awards 67 Gifts & Grants Totaling $630,000 On a beautiful afternoon earlier this month, Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) held their annual Gifts & Grants Awards reception at the 51st Pasadena Showcase House of Design. This year, PSHA awarded 67 gifts and grants totaling $630,000 to non-profit organizations, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, for music education, school music programs, instruments, music therapy, and underwriting of concerts. “While it is a huge responsibility for the members of PSHA's Gifts & Grants Committee to decide to which organizations to award funds, it is very rewarding to know that these organizations are doing their part to promote music and the arts, especially with regard to children and young adults, and particularly to those in under-served areas of our local communities,” said Gifts & Grants Chair Eileen Reilly. About 180 guests were in attendance at this year’s reception. They were treated to classical music performed by an ensemble
from USC Thornton School of Music's Cardinal Winds made up of Catherine Baker (flute); Zach Pulse (oboe); and Alex Garcia (bassoon). Reilly, with the help of member Mary Ann Clay-
ton, the Benefit Chair for the 2014 Pasadena Showcase House of Design, the proceeds of which funded this year’s Gifts & Grants program, presented each recipient with a certificate and a check for their project. A representative from each organization spoke about how the funds would be used while President Katherine Watkins congratulated the recipients for bringing music directly to the community. “It is an absolute privilege for us to play a small
part in the work that these incredible organizations do in the community. And, it is profoundly motivating,” said Watkins. “Tomorrow, we will go back to work with their stories in mind,
more determined than ever to be successful so that we can make even larger contributions in the future.” An all-volunteer organization, PSHA is a non-profit California Corporation whose members donate their time and talents to produce the annual Pasadena Showcase House of Design. It is one of the oldest, largest and most successful house and garden tours in the nation. PSHA just celebrated the milestone of its fiftieth Showcase House in 2014. Founded in 1948,

Mayor Calls for Sustainable Development, “Increased Walkability” Continued from page 1
the preliminary section of this elevated path was to be built before the whole project was deemed unfeasible (given the fact that the bike tolls made no money for the system and also by the early 20th century, Americans had ditched bikes to all suddenly become interested in cars). Thus, the path was eventually scrapped for lumber and the Arroyo Secco Highway - arguably the region’s first “freeway” was built to cut through the region instead. Now, after a century of cars, Southern California is gradually becoming a bit jaded on the idea. Mobility trends are shifting back to the 19th century modes of walking and cycling in many ways in urban areas where parking can sometimes seem frustrating, and the price of fuel has risen to the point that going to the gas station can sometimes feel like you’re buying lunch for an ungrateful coworker who never buys you lunch in return. Capitalizing on this trend in mobility, Pasadena has launched what is being described as a “free streets event” with the help of the
organization CicLAvia and a nearly $500,000 grant from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. What that means is that this Sunday, Pasadena residents will get to experience
a section of their city devoid of cars that runs roughly the length of the Rose Parade. From the intersection of Pasadena and Colorado, and running along Colorado to Bonnie Avenue, what is arguably the city’s main east-west thoroughfare will be closed to cars and open to bicyclists, pedestrians, dog-walkers, families with strollers and at least one undoubtedly futuristic mobility-thing that some professor at Cal Tech built in his or her garage which will be seen creeping along, electrically, at a walking pace. In addition to the eastwest route, portions of Lake and Raymond avenues will
be closed off to car traffic as well. In an interview with the Independent regarding Pasadena’s new development and plans for the future, Mayor Terry Tornek expressed interest in helping facilitate a community in which residents could get around with less dependency on their cars. “The real tug of war,” he said, is between what he called an evolving and more “intense” kind of urbanization and “neighbors who have lived here for years.” In other words: the Pasadena of the future should balance its new developments not with new parking garages but with strategies geared for alternative modes of transit, calling for a Pasadena that balances sustainable development with “increased walkability.” As this will be the first big public project with Tornek as mayor, it will be interesting to see, this Sunday, how CicLAvia and the mayor’s vision for a bikeable, walkable Pasadena fits in with how the city capitalizes on the mobility trends of the future the same way they did in the past.

Rio Hondo Prep loses 5-2 to Sage Hill in Extra Innings in CIF Second Round BY VINCENT NGUYEN Sage Hill pitcher Conner Bock (#30) drilled a home run to center field in the eighth inning to end Rio Hondo Prep’s CIF playoff run with a 5-2 defeat in the second round of the Division 6 Southern Section Baseball Tournament. “He did great,” Rio Hondo head coach Thomas Carson said about Bock’s sixth homer of the season. “I don’t worry about the home run. He’s a great hitter who hits lots of home runs.” Bock went 2-for-4 on the afternoon, grabbing two runs and an RBI in the process as well as three strikeouts in his four innings on the mound. Rio Hondo pitcher Sampson Sly-hoar (#4) threw for seven innings before being relieved by outfielder Domenico Chico (#19). Sly-hoar ended the game with six strikeouts, four walks and nine hits. While Rio Hondo used one pitcher for seven innings, Sage Hill utilized three. Bock was relieved by Kellen Ochi (#1), who threw for three innings before Brett Super (#9) closed the game out. “Great performance. Still young,” Carson said about
Sly-hoar’s performance. “He doesn’t have much experience but he’s just going to get better and better.” Neither team scored until the third inning in which Rio Hondo netted two runs that were sparked by catcher Clark Bolinger (#12). The junior cracked one to centerfield that was impossible for Sage Hill’s Cole Tait (#27) to grab. The hit brought Stephen Martin (#13) home to give the Kares a 1-0 lead. Bolinger made it 2-0 shortly thereafter as Eric Mosher’s (#8) squeeze hit brought the catcher home and earned the first baseman an RBI. “Clark is super intense,” Carson said. “If he makes a mistake, it’s going to be a mistake of aggression. That’s the way we like it.” Bock made his first impact on the game with his second plate appearance. His base hit confused two Rio Hondo outfielders and allowed him to advance to second. Super earned a base hit right after Bock and as Rio Hondo second baseman Hudson Barrett (#15) threw it to Sly-hoar in an attempt to catch Bock at home plate,
the pitcher was unaware of the throw and allowed Bock to cut the lead to 2-1. The Lightnings would make it all square at the top of the sixth with a sacrifice fly from Tait that brought Ochi home. “The top [of the lineup] was coming up, and I really felt like we could get around, so I wasn’t concerned,” Carson said on the game-tying run. “In the back of my mind, I was just thinking about Sampson’s innings if it were to go to extra innings, because we were hoping to play Friday so we can save him for a little bit.” In the bottom of the seventh with two outs and Barrett on second, Martin grounded one toward left field that rolled past two infielders. Barrett darted to third but then hesitated too much and was tagged out before he could reach home. In extra innings Bock shattered the homer in the eighth, bringing home Parker Reposa (#5) to give the Lightnings the 4-2 lead. Tait would add another run to close the game out with a 5-2 victory for Sage Hill, knocking out Rio Hondo and stretching their undefeated run.

Read to the Rhythm Mt. Sierra College’s Mural Design Competition for Monrovia Library by MAY S. RUIZ Tim Botengan, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at Mt. Sierra College, was seated at his desk one August day last year when the school receptionist put through a call to him. The caller was Gail Jebbia, librarian at the Monrovia Public Library. She wanted to know if Mt. Sierra College would be willing to partner with them on creating a mural design that could be hung so the entire community can come together to color it. Gail had read about this concept originated by a young artist named Ernest English, who became famous in Boston as one of the Top 25 innovators under 25 by Boston.com for his influence on the community through his art. English himself was a transplant from New Orleans; he moved to Boston in February 2013 to join the MIT Community Innovators Lab. The concept was certainly a worthwhile idea, but an important component was finding the artist to create the mural. Then Gail had a "eureka" moment! She said, “There’s Mt. Sierra College down the street and they have students studying to get Art degrees!” And she got right on the phone. Tim didn’t need much convincing and their collaboration began rather quickly. Starting in August 2014, Gail and Tim met once a month with the project team of Annette Simpson, Edward William, Ceora Brown, Mike Pace and Vicky Panossian, to discuss the logistics of this undertaking. There were several things that needed to be decided upon before they could involve the students:
the mural had to be on vinyl material to withstand the outdoors; it had to be mobile as it needs to move from inside the library to the park; it had to fit the door and make the turn as it is moved; etc. Theirs was a markedly friendly partnership. The library group and the Mt. Sierra team left their egos at the door as they made all the preparations for this project. They agreed that this mural was to be 15’ wide by 6’ high and that it needed to stand on a movable structure. They decided on how to break down the mural into blocks to make it easy for people to color it in. They determined that Graffiti markers would be best to use for coloring in the artwork. Mt. Sierra then opened the competition to all their Art students. They were tasked to create a mural to represent the Library’s Summer Reading Program theme “Read to the Rhythm.” A panel of judges made up of the Monrovia Public Library team: Barbara Radford, Library Board Chair; Mary Ann Lutz, former Monrovia mayor and President of the Library Foundation Board; Linda Granicy, Senior Librarian; Annette Simpson, Librarian II; and Gail Jebbia, Librarian, had the job of choosing from nine entries. Laura Da Costa and Scott Lane were then declared the clear winners, having the artwork that best depicted this year’s theme. The other contestants were Melodie Wang, Samantha Quintero, Jackie Gutierrez, Jonathan Delagado, Ilene Bowers, Adam Steinberg, and Sarah Rodriguez.

An awards ceremony was held on May 11 at Mt. Sierra College amid a gathering of Mt. Sierra staff, Monrovia Public Library representatives, families of the contestants and various guests. Design Competition winners Laura and Scott received plaques and were awarded a full quarter’s tuition by the President of the College, Dr. Bill Kakish. All the contestants were honored for their contribution and received plaques of recognition. For a first time joint effort of this scale, the Design Competition has been a rousing success. It showed that collaboration and partnership could lead to an unimaginably satisfying experience. Gail had dreamed of creating something beautiful while at the same time engaging the Monro-
via community in creating their own piece of art that was representative of their spirit and identity. On June 20, back-toback murals will hang at
the Monrovia Public Library to usher in this year’s Summer Reading Program and everyone will be invited to color in the artwork. The completely colored-in mu-
ral will represent a community that came together as one to celebrate not just the value of reading but also that of solidarity.

PUSD Receives $3 Million Grant From the California Career Pathways Trust The Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) is the recipient of a grant for $3,046,545 over the next two years from the California Career Pathways trust in support of six College and Career pathways at every district high school. PUSD’s grant is one of 40 totaling $244 million announced today by the California Department of Education. PUSD, Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, Pasadena City College (PCC), Foothill Workforce Investment Board (FWIB), Pasadena Educational Foundation (PEF), and the city of Pasadena have formalized a partnership to prepare students for college and careers, successfully transition to postsecondary education, and effectively link them to careers in high wage, high need industries. This local consortium, LINC (Linking Industry for NextGen Careers) Pasadena, builds capacity and coherently links existing local and regional structures to sustain PUSD and PCC pathways to careers by establishing a strong local intermediary structure. It also strengthens and expands K-12 Pathways not currently linked to regional consortia and helps recruit and
retain students. The goal is to ensure all students have the skills, attributes and experiences that will prepare them for college, careers and life. LINC Pasadena builds upon the statewide support structure PUSD has been a part of since its selection in 2009 as one of nine Linked Learning Districts in California. The secondary program has grown to serve 1871 students in grades 9-12 within ten Pathways at all six high schools, including two alternative education sites. Four of the ten PUSD Pathways are part of two large regional California Career Pathways Trust consortia grants focusing on information and communication technology led by PCC and advanced manufacturing led by Long Beach Community College. This grant expands the six innovative career pathway programs focused on the health care industry, legal careers, business and entrepreneurship, culinary arts and hospitality, and other creative industries supporting the community’s workforce development needs that do not yet benefit from the systematic linkage to regional and local industry resources.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Initial Study has been undertaken to determine if the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Initial Study was prepared and completed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. On the basis of the Initial Study, the City of Rosemead has concluded that the project would have less

than significant impact, unless mitigated, therefore a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared. The MND reflects the independent judgment of the City as a lead agency per CEQA Guidelines. The project site is not on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5. The proposed project is considered a project of statewide, regional or area-wide significance and could affect highways or other facilities under the jurisdiction of the State of California Department of Transportation. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was distributed for a 30-day public review and comment period from April 16, 2015 to May 15, 2015. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65091, this public hearing notice has been published in at least one newspaper of general circulation within the local agency and has been mailed to all owners of real property as shown on the latest equalized assessment roll within 300 feet of the real property that is the subject of the hearing. Lastly, this notice is also posted onsite and in five (5) public locations, specifying the availability of the application, plus the date, time and location of the public hearing.

Rosemead City Notices NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD ON JUNE 9, 2015 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Rosemead City Council will consider a Negative Declaration and will conduct a public hearing to consider Municipal Code Amendment (MCA) 15-02 on Tuesday, June 9, 2015 at 7:00 PM, at Rosemead City Hall, 8838 Valley Boulevard, Rosemead: CASE NO: MCA 15-02 is a City initiated amendment to revise Title 17 (Zoning) of the Rosemead Municipal Code to modify several regulations for nonconforming uses, structures, lots, and parking facilities. The code amendment proposes to establish new limitations on legal nonconforming uses that were previously approved by a discretionary entitlement. It was originally drafted to allow the addition of conforming residential structures on R-1 and R-2 lots that are developed with legal nonconforming residential structures subject to the City’s existing Minor Exception application process. However, in accordance with the Planning Commission’s direction at the May 18, 2015 public hearing, the proposed section regarding such residential expansion was omitted. The intent of the revised amendment is to encourage the continued improvement of the City by limiting the extent to which nonconforming structures and uses may continue to be used, expanded, or replaced, while allowing for improvements to their appearance. MCA 15-02 also proposes to eliminate the term and definition of “bachelor apartment” from Chapter 17.04, as it is no longer accepted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Initial Study has been undertaken to determine if the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Initial Study was prepared and completed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. On the basis of the Initial Study, the City of Rosemead has concluded that the project could not have a significant impact on the environment, and has therefore prepared a Draft Negative Declaration (ND). The ND reflects the independent judgment of the City as a lead agency per CEQA Guidelines. The project site is not on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5. The proposed project is not considered a project of statewide, regional or area-wide significance and would not affect highways or other facilities under the jurisdiction of the State of California Department of Transportation. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration was distributed for a 20-day public review and comment period from March 16, 2015 to April 4, 2015. Written comments should be received before June 9, 2015. Comments should be sent to: Planning Division, 8838 East Valley Boulevard, Rosemead, CA 91770, Attention: Sheri Bermejo, City Planner. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65091, this public hearing notice has been published in at least one newspaper of general circulation within the local agency, as the number of owners of real property within 300 feet of the project site(s) is greater 1,000. Lastly, this notice has also been posted in five (5) public locations, specifying the availability of the application, plus the date, time and location of the public hearing. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65009 (b), if this matter is subsequently challenged in court, the challenge may be limited to only those issues raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Rosemead at, or prior to, the public hearing.

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 are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-626050-RY . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

Sexual Assault of Minor Occurs at Rose Bowl Aquatic Center Police Attempting to Identify Additional Victims On Monday, May 18, 2015, shortly before 7 p.m., a male minor advised his mother that he had been sexually assaulted while in the dressing room area at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center located at 360 N. Arroyo Blvd., Pasadena. The minor’s mother immediately reported the incident to the Center’s staff, which recognized the suspect as a patron at the facility. Staff notified police and lifeguards followed the suspect from the Aquatic Center through the park where officers took suspect Leslie Dittert into custody without incident. Suspect Leslie Dittert (white male, 57 years old, and a Glendale resident) was booked at the Pasadena jail for PC 288(a)(b)(1). The case was presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office on Thursday, May 21. No charges were filed against Dittert at this time, although the investigation is on-going. Police detectives are at-
tempting to identify any additional victims. Suspect Dittert was released from custody Monday afternoon. Parents or minors that may have had inappropriate contact with Leslie Dittert are asked to contact Detective Monica Cuellar (626) 744-7128 (Tuesday through Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.) or the Pasadena Police Dispatch non-emergency number at (626)744-4241 24/7.

have certain strengths, and we realized it was a win-win situation.” Together as one, the two medical groups, now known as Radiant Imaging, are able to offer high quality sub-specialty care to patients of all ages throughout the entire San Gabriel Valley, with offices located in Pasadena, Glendora, and Arcadia. One of the newest members to join the team of radiology experts is interventional neuroradiologist Angelos A. Konstas, M.D., Ph.D. Konstas’ contribution allows Radiant Imaging to better assist patients who may suffer from a stroke. “If someone comes in within six to eight hours of having a stroke, we can minimize the amount of time they may spend recovering from the stroke in a hospital,” said Dr. Hedley. The core value of the company is to provide the highest quality of medical image readings. “It’s about giving patients the right test at the right time,” said Dr. Hedley. In order to assure patients are being led to the right tests, Radiant Imaging

makes every effort to be involved in all aspects of each patient’s experience. “Opposed to just interpreting the results of a test, we like to be there at the front-end, recommending what tests to do, being real consultants alongside the doctor.” The challenges the medial group faces are no different from the challenges that medicine and radiology are facing as a whole across the U.S., including decreases in reimbursements and more computer system requirements. “There are a lot of things we’re being required to do which are relatively new. They’re all doable, just extremely expensive at a time when the reimbursements are going down,” said Dr. Hedley. Dr. Hedley stated the goal of Radiant Imaging is to continue to grow and serve Southern California with excellent medical imaging. “The highest quality care is to be able to provide the most subspecialty care, and the only way to do that is to get bigger … Our goal is to offer subspecialty readings 24 hours, seven days a week.” For more information about Radiant Imaging, visit their website at www.radiantimaging.net.

Radiant Imaging Radiant Imaging is an advanced radiology group that focuses on providing patients with top-tier medical care. The company came into existence when two medical groups emerged in 2013, The Hill Medical Corporation and Arcadia Radiology Medical Group, both of which have over 50 years of experience. Working within these branches are 26 board-certified radiologists with multiple areas of expertise. The subspecialized group is capable of offering medical related services such as body imaging, interventional radiology, musculoskeletal (MSK), neuroradiology, pediatric imaging and nuclear medicine. President of The Hill Medical Corporation and Radiant Imaging, Dr. Hedley, said Radiant Imaging is the result of two medical groups realizing the potential in joining forces. “In order to survive in the new environment, you have to have more subspecializations and be able to offer more services.

Social Security Benefits Reduced If You Retire at 62 More than 30 years ago, a bi-partisan effort between Republican President Ronald Reagan and the Democrat-led Congress produced changes in Social Security to ensure its solvency. When the retirement age was 65, someone choosing to claim Social Security benefits at 62 suffered a 20 percent reduction in benefits. When the full retirement age reaches 67, the early retirement penalty will be a 30 percent reduction. The drop will be enough to push some recipients below the poverty level if they depend wholly upon Social Security. A cornerstone of the 1983 agreement was the creation of a Social Security Trust Fund, to cover the retirement of Baby Boomers. The Trust Fund built-up over for more than two dec-

ades, but a monthly drawdown began in 2010. The Pew Research Center cites Congressional Budget Office statistics in predicting that Social Security will deplete its storehouse of Trust Funds and Treasury Bonds in 2033. After that, it’s expected that Social Security
will bring in enough to cover 75 percent of promised benefits. But until Congress and some future president agree on how to revamp the system, the focus is on 2017— a further drop in benefits if you plan to take Social Security at 62.
