Cal Phil Gets Ready for Summer Concert Series at Santa Anita First Concert Will Feature ‘Beatlemania Now’
BY TERRY MILLER
With just a few weeks to go before opening night on June 27, a crane and workers were finalizing positioning of the massive Hollywood Bowl-type dome Monday evening at Santa Anita’s infield. The dome will be home to the California Philharmonic’s award winning orchestra and Maestro Victor Vener through August 22 when they perform the final concert of the season, “Postcards from Abroad.” The opening concert will surely be a classic, combining revolutionary music from two prolific eras. Adding to the excitement this year, California Philharmonic welcomes special guest Beatlemania Now, the “best tribute band on the planet,” SEE PG. 15

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com Sierra Madre Resident Urges Council to Rethink Cutting Community Services Dear Mayor and Councilmembers of the City of Sierra Madre,
I am writing as a Sierra Madre resident who is concerned with the proposed budget cuts to reduce the library staff and services and close the Community Services Department. I am a Sierra Madre native, current resident, and parent who
is raising two school-age children. My husband and I grew up in Sierra Madre and decided to buy our home and raise our family here so that they could enjoy the great community spirit that we enjoyed. As I read about pro-
posed cuts to the Library and the proposed closure of the Community Services Department, I am very concerned that what makes Sierra Madre special will disappear. Both the library and the Community Services Department bring the com-

munity together. My boys spend lots of time at the library finding reading and research material. They also enjoy the various programs sponsored by the library. The Community Services Department helps to execute the events and traditions that we have enjoyed for many years. Due to their efforts, our downtown area experiences increased foot traffic from residents and those who reside outside our city limits. This results in more people spending money in our downtown, which results in increased revenues for our small town. It is good for Sierra Madre and its businesses. As a member of the Sierra Madre Civic Club, I know that the Community Services Department is an integral part of putting our community events together. Our members volunteer at events throughout the year. Even though Civic Club has taken over Halloween Window Painting and the 4th of July games in the park, we work closely and in concert with the Community Services Department. We cannot pull off these events without their help. For example, the Mount Wilson Trail Race Committee and many community organizations work together to execute the event. If the Community Services Department closes, what will happen to the traditions that we have enjoyed all these years? They will disappear. We will have to say good bye to Huck Finn, Mount Wilson Trail Race, 4th of July festivities, Summer Fun in the Park, Concerts in the Park, Movies in the Park and Halloween happenings. Also, our seniors in town will lose the services that they have enjoyed and need. The park and facility rentals, which generate income, will also be impacted. My family urges you to rethink this "easy way out" to balance our budget. The Community Services Department is already working with a skeleton crew, but is still able to execute their duties. The "fat" has been trimmed from this department that
only makes up 2% of Sierra Madre's budget. A friend who moved to Sierra Madre a few years ago told me what happened in her former hometown. When she moved there, they held fun parades and events in town. Then the city decided to do away with them. To her, her former hometown has lost its community spirit and what made it special. Now she looks at it as a bunch of homes and nothing else. I would hate to have this happen here. I urge you to work on other ways to balance the budget. Tough decisions will need to be made. Please do not touch the library and Community Services Department. They are at the heart of what makes Sierra Madre special. Thanks on behalf of myself, my husband, and our boys. Regards, -Maria Decker SIERRA MADRE

By Dorothy Denne
Noiseless Noise I am a people person. I need people in my life. Barbra Streisand sang, "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world." I believe that -- just not too many, not all at one time, and not all the time. In his book Courage to Be, Paul Tillich writes, "Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. It has created the word 'loneliness' to express the pain of being alone, and it has created the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone." I am not a solitudinarian, but having time to myself is one of the essentials of my life. I like to break away on my own and shut off the outer world -- no newspapers, no radio or TV, no telephone, no people. I remember someone saying something to the effect of, "Sometimes I just sits and thinks. Sometimes I just sits." I especially like the times I can just sit. They are rare. It is not easy to not think. When the thoughts do go away, no matter how brief
the time, that's when the music sounds. A special time. A peaceful time. A rare and precious time. Today I sat in Nature. Sometimes I thought, but mostly I just sat. And listened. An insect buzzed in close, faded away, returned to whir and whisper in my ear. Then, flittered off again to investigate its space. In the trees behind me the birds sang their carols -- the twitter and tweet, the warble and whistle, the chirrup and cheep. The speech of angels. Beneath the trees something rustled. A squirrel scampered out, sensed my presence, stopped to study me. He sat erect in stately style, nose wriggling, tail twitching, little paws bobbing up and down as if in greeting. Greeting given, study done, he dropped to all fours and bounced across the path, disappeared in the bushes. I? I just sat. I listened to Keats' "little noiseless noise among the leaves, born of the very sigh that silence heaves."

Man Charged With Trying to Kill Girlfriend in Pomona
A 26-year-old man was charged Tuesday with attempted murder after his girlfriend was discovered unconscious last weekend, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Francisco Javier Munozcapetillo (DOB 2/10/89) of Ontario has been charged with three felony counts: attempted murder, injuring a girlfriend, and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury in case KA109892. The felony complaint includes a special allegation that the defendant personally in-
flicted great bodily injury during the crime. Munozcapetillo is scheduled to be arraigned in Department F of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Pomona Branch. Prosecutors will ask the defendant’s bail be set at $1.03 million. Prosecutors said on June 5, Munozcapetillo reportedly went to his girlfriend’s Pomona home for an overnight visit. The next morning, the girlfriend woke up to the defendant allegedly striking her stomach and trying to strangle her with an electrical cord until she
lost consciousness, prosecutors added. After some time, the defendant left the home. Law enforcement subsequently was called to the scene and the victim was taken to the hospital for medical treatment. Later the same day, police apprehended Munozcapetillo and he was arrested in connection with the incident. If convicted as charged, the defendant faces a possible maximum sentence of life plus five years in state prison. The case is being investigated by the Pomona Police Department.

Dehydrated, Exhausted Canine Rescued in Eaton Canyon The Altadena Sheriff’s Station received a 911 call for a dog that had collapsed from possible heat stroke Monday while hiking with her owner. A 20-year-old female from Downey was hiking in the Eaton Canyon Nature Center with temperatures averaging 100 degrees with her dog, when the dog appeared lethargic and stopped walking. Along with Pasadena Fire Department and the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the Altadena Search and Rescue Team responded to Eaton Canyon. Fire Captain Joe Grayston of L.A. County Fire Engine 66 was able to telephone the hiker and direct rescue crews into the location of the injured dog. The Altadena Mountain Rescue Team was able to drive up the dirt hiking trail

and reach the hiker and her dog. The first arriving rescue crew saw that “Tyson,” the four-year-old Boxer, was unable to sit up and breathing rapidly. An attempt was made to give the overheated dog water, but sadly Tyson threw up every time water was given. Tyson was loaded into the air conditioned cab of a waiting Altadena Rescue Team truck, and both Tyson and her owner were driven off the
hot trail to the parking lot at Eaton Canyon Nature Center. The Pasadena Humane Society was waiting at the nature center parking lot, and they accessed the dog. After 30 minutes of cooling off, Tyson was given water, and appeared okay to go home. Authorities remind everyone who is walking with their pets to bring enough water for them too. Especially during excessive heat.

Deputy District Attorneys Kimberly Toney and Sandi Roth with the Justice System Integrity Division are prosecuting the case. Solis allegedly got into
a fight with Salome Rodriguez on March 13 outside a bar in Pomona, chased the man down and fatally shot him. Solis, who had been with the LAPD less than a year, fled the scene and was arrested last month in Mexico. If convicted, Solis faces up to life in state prison. The case remains under investigation by the Pomona Police Department.

California Court Council Adopts ‘Historic’ Ruling By terry miller
- Photo by Terry Miller
Up until last Monday, you were guilty until proven innocent, at least when traffic tickets were concerned. But as luck would have it, the council for California courts finally saw the green light at the end of the unconstitutional tunnel that so many have been forced to travel. At an urgent open meeting via teleconference, the Judicial Council unanimously adopted a new rule Monday that directs courts to allow people who have traffic tickets to appear for arraignment and trial without deposit of bail, unless certain specified exceptions apply. The rule also states that courts must notify traffic defendants of this option in any instructions or other materials provided by the court to the public. The rule takes effect im-
mediately, although courts have until September 15 to ensure that their forms, written instructions, and websites comply with the notice requirements of the new rule. In addition, the council directed that its Traffic Advisory Committee and Criminal Law Advisory Committee expeditiously provide recommendations to promote access to justice when

an individual has previously failed to appear or pay and in other types of infraction cases. “This is an historic meeting,” said Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye. “I am proud of the rule that has been developed. This is an important first step to address an urgent access-to-justice issue. More work lies ahead.” At the end of the meeting, she directed the council’s Rules and Projects Committee to oversee and coordinate the two advisory committees and to report back to the council on August 20 on their progress. During the meeting, the Chief Justice noted that the Futures Commission, which she appointed last year, is taking a broader look at effective public access to California’s courts, including traffic proceedings.

The More Determined You Are, the More Likely You Will Achieve Your Goals By LAURA WILCOX SMART Goals Coach
In 1903, Horatio Nelson Jackson became the first person to drive by car across the country from San Francisco to New York. Jackson was joined on this adventure by Sewall K. Crocker, a professional bicycle racer and mechanic. They drove a touring car that was built by the Alexander Winton Company. Only two years earlier Alexander Winton had driven this same path, but only got as far as Nevada and needed to stop the journey when his car got stuck in the sand. Jackson and Crocker were amateurs, but they
had determination. They were doing this for the adventure. The only financial support they had was Jackson’s wife’s family money. Jackson and Crocker were not going to let failures and problems keep them from achieving their goal. The two had many problems along the way--flat tires, getting stuck in the desert, and needing new parts for their car. And yet, every time something happened Jackson would confidently remark that once they were past this hurdle, they would be home free and on their way to New York!
Even when there would be several days of delays, Jackson would write his wife letting her know that they would get home successfully. These statements and ones like it followed every setback along the way. Jackson’s determination got him to New York in 63 days, 12 hours and 30 minutes.

City of Pasadena Wants You to Be ‘Water Police’ If They Turn On, You Can Turn In By terry miller In a press release issued by the city of Pasadena on Tuesday, residents, visitors, and businesses are being asked to turn in neighbors who may be water-wasters “by calling the city and reporting.” There was an old saying in the 1960s … when it really was all peace and love and understanding. Not like today, when everyone seems to be spying on us (for better or worse.) That famous saying was “Save Water, Shower with a friend ….” There was a terrific poster too. Ah, the good old days, when turning on had nothing to do with overwatering your cabbage patch. But wait, there’s more … there’s even an app for turning in your neighbors: The press release states, “The free app will accept your location coordinates if your device’s GPS is activated and will also accept a photo. Once installed, active the app, take a photo, answer a few questions and send! The City appreciates you contacting us and we’ll do our best to respond and correct the situation.” Come on, really - do we really have to “turn in” against our fellow man?
I tried to turn in the City on January 2nd when the Public Works department was seen hosing down the leftover debris from New Year’s Eve revelers on Colorado Blvd. with - guess what? Gallons of water. Heck, if people are irresponsible enough not to know we’re in a massive drought of biblical proportions in our state then maybe we should act like water police; but I think it’s the wrong way to solve a massive problem. The real culprits who waste water are the cities themselves, golf courses, and almond farmers. Perhaps Nicolas Kristof said it best in a recent NY Times column: “LET’S start with a quiz. Which consumes the most water? A) a 10-minute shower. B) a handful of 10 almonds. C) a quarter-pound hamburger patty. D) a washing machine load. “The answer? By far, it’s the hamburger patty. The shower might use 25 gallons. The almonds take up almost a gallon each, or close to 10 gallons for the handful. The washing ma-
chine uses about 35 gallons per load. And that beef patty, around 450 gallons. “The drought in California hit home when I was backpacking with my
water used by humans goes to farming and ranching.” The City of Pasadena also is reminding us to conserve water wherever and whenever possible. Since
the current restrictions on the books: -Outdoor watering is allowed only on Tuesdays and Saturdays, before 9 a.m. or after 6 p.m.
daughter there recently on the Pacific Crest Trail, and the first eight creeks or springs we reached were all dry. The crisis in California is a harbinger of water scarcity in much of the world. And while we associate extravagant water use with swimming pools and verdant lawns, the biggest consumer, by far, is agriculture. In California, 80 percent of
June 1, 2015, the City has been under its Level 2 Water Supply Shortage Plan to reduce water use by 28 percent was adopted by the City Council due to serious drought conditions. “Fines for repeat offenders can be up to $500 per violation for residential customers and up to $1,000 per violation for commercial accounts.” In Pasadena, these are
-A one-day per week outdoor watering limit takes effect November to March. -No turf irrigation at all within 48 hours following a measurable rain. (Duh?) -No washing hard or paved surfaces using potable water, except as necessary to alleviate safety and/ or sanitary hazards. -All master-metered multifamily properties must
certify installation of waterefficient shower heads and aerators on faucets by Sept. 30, 2015. -All identified water leaks must be fixed within 48 hours. -Filling ornamental lakes and ponds is prohibited. The City itself has taken additional steps to reduce its water usage, including: -Closing the La Pintoresca Park “Splash Pad” water play facility for summer 2015. -Removing turf from city facilities where possible, including at center medians. -Retrofitting city medians with low-emitting irrigation systems for trees. -Turning off all water fountains at city facilities. -Acquiring new technology and hardware to capture water flushed from pipes during maintenance. To report your neighbors’ misuse of water during the drought, the city has re easy: made jitusrather Howdu t s cwe ever, hopefully can all e d ol regulations, adhere to the d! pric use common sense, and e conserve without spying on our neighbors. Do we really need to become Water Police Officers?

LASD Deputy Charged with Perjury, Filing False Police Report A Los Angeles County sheriff deputy has been charged with filing a false police report following a 2012 arrest, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced today. Deputy District Attorney Deborah Delport said Gregory Rodriguez (DOB 2/23/80) faces one felony count each of perjury by declaration and filing a
false report. Arraignment for Rodriguez is scheduled on June 18 in Department 30 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center. Case BA436858 was filed for warrant on May 28. According to the felony complaint, Rodriguez falsely declared that Christopher Gray attempted to open the rear passenger door of a patrol car to free two suspects
in custody on Aug. 23, 2012. Based on Rodriguez’s report, Gray was arrested that day for attempted lynching. Lynching is the legal term for the taking of any person from the lawful custody of any peace officer by means of a riot. If convicted as charged, Rodriguez faces a possible maximum sentence of four years and eight months in county jail.
Legislation to Raise Tobacco Purchase Age Passes Through the Senate Bill Aims to Reduce Smoking by Restricting Teen Access to Tobacco Products
Senate Bill 151 cleared another major hurdle earlier this week as it passed out of the Senate by a vote of 26-8. Senator Dr. Ed Hernandez, O.D. (D–West Covina), Chair of the Senate Health Committee, introduced the bill in January that would increase the minimum legal sale age for tobacco products from 18 to 21. The bill now moves to the Assembly. “We will not sit on the sidelines while big tobacco markets to our kids and gets another generation of young people hooked on a product that will ultimately kill them,” said Hernandez. “Tobacco companies know that people are more likely to become addicted to smoking if they start at a young age.” In March, the Institute of Medicine released a study examining how increasing
the minimum legal sale age for tobacco products would impact tobacco use trends. They concluded increasing the age to 21 would result in 200,000 fewer premature deaths for those born between the years 2000 and 2019 and cause a more rapid decline in tobacco prevalence. Tobacco remains the leading cause of preventable death in the United States with 480,000 people dying annually – 40,000 from effects of secondhand smoke. According to the CDC, tobacco use kills more people per year than alcohol, murders, illegal drugs, AIDS, and motor vehicle accidents combined. Aside from the vast human toll, tobacco is a heavy burden financially. The Campaign for Tobacco Free
Kids estimates that direct health care expenditures related solely to smoking in California amount to approximately $13.3 billion annually – with about $3.5 billion in Medi-Cal costs. “As Henry Waxman once said, cigarettes are the single most dangerous consumer product ever sold,” remarked Hernandez, “We need to wake up and stop making it so easy for tobacco companies to poison generation after generation of Californians.” Hawaii passed a similar measure in April of this year that is still awaiting Governor Ige’s signature. SB 151 would make California either the first or second state in the nation, depending on the fate of the bill in Hawaii, to raise the legal smoking age to 21.
The Impact of Feng Shui on Our Lives With Crystal Chu
Feng Shui is centuriesold systematic knowledge and wisdom from Chinese ancestors. From the definition given by H.H. Grandmaster Lin Yun: “Mankind use the knowledge available to them at the time to choose, to build, to create a most suitable environment to live for their better survival, that knowledge is called Feng Shui.” Regardless whether one believes in it or knows about it, the impacts of Feng Shui exist objectively. Feng Shui affects many different aspects of our lives, career, relationships, education, travel, wealth, family, marriage, children, and health. Bad Feng Shui causes problems in our daily life, but on the other hand, we can ben-
efit from having good Feng Shui. We also can improve our lives through Feng Shui adjustments and enhancements. Feng Shui is getting more and more popular in the Western world and in this insightful lecture, attendees will gain an overview of Feng Shui, learn what it can do, and bring home a couple Feng Shui tips. Crystal Chu is a spiritual teacher, meditation master, author, international speaker, and an international Feng Shui educator and consultant. She is also an Adjunct Professor at the School of Arts and Letters at San Diego State University, the CEO of Yun Lin Temple, and the Chairman of Taipei Lin Yun Foundation. Crystal
Chu holds a B.A. in Sociology from National Taiwan University, and an MBA from University of Georgia. In 1998, Crystal Chu was recognized and consecrated by His Holiness Lungtok Tenpai Nyima, the supreme leader of Tibetan Bon tradition, and honored with the title of Khadro Rinpoche which represents the highest female religious position and a precious spiritual teacher in Tibetan Buddhism.

Pasadena Makes Music Draws Diverse Crowd Starting Summer by ea nicole madrigal
It’s that time of the year again in Pasadena. The weather is warmer, the breeze cools off the dry heat in the evenings, and musicians have taken over the streets. Make Music Pasadena 2015 just happened on Saturday, and thousands of people from all walks of life poured onto the streets and back alley ways of the legendary city. For the last several years, Make Music Pasadena has stimulated the local music scene from various genres while simultaneously encouraging community outreach and the promotion of small businesses. According to the event’s website, Make Music Pasadena was modeled after a similar event that originally began in Paris in 1982 called Fête de la Musique. The efforts of that early event were to “celebrate music by making all genres accessible to the people and taking music to the streets.” If you visited Make Music Pasadena on Saturday, you know very well that the event stays true to the original purpose. The annual event takes place at over 30 venues that cross 20 city blocks in Pasadena. With thousands in attendance each year, Make Music Pasadena is a truly democratic-esque musical event that caters to all people possessing varying tastes of musical genres for the cost of nothing (unless you want to include parking prices). This year’s headliners included artists such as How to Dress Well, Sir Sly, Hundred Waters, and Kishi Bashi as well as local musical favorites such as the JPL Chorus and the Pasadena Symphony and POPS. However, it is often the artists who are not scheduled to grace main stages that can be the gems of the event. I visited several of the local restaurants and bars where artists were featured as onlookers danced on small stages or sat on bar stools while enjoying a refreshment. I listened to everything from a young acoustic musician, to two different reggae
bands, to a group of young, rock musicians playing covers of Muse, U2, and Katy Perry. These are the moments and the musicians that accentuate why Make Music Pasadena is so worthwhile each year. However, for some, it goes without saying that this event has often been able to attract some better known names in the past to their main stages (which are often the biggest draw) than it proved to accomplish this year. Artists such as Youngblood Hawke, We Are Scientists, Grouplove, Best Coast, and Matt and Kim have graced the main stages in the past few years. I stopped to
chat with a group of event attendees and several of them agreed that Make Music Pasadena could be an even more successful event if it was not free; perhaps then, better known artists might be attracted to come as headliners. With that said, this same group of attendees pointed out that one of the most exciting parts of Make Music Pasadena is the “diversity.” As onlooker Jennifer Kent noted, Make Music Pasadena is a

wonderful opportunity for the “Coachella crowd”, older patrons, people who live out of the city, and Pasadena locals to come together to enjoy different kinds of music. Undoubtedly, each year Make Music Pasadena truly demonstrates just how binding music can be, bringing people together with the impact of sound and harmony.

‘ Waterfall ’ A Must-See Musical by nathaniel cayanan
June 7th marked the premiere of the much-anticipated musical Waterfall, which opened in the Pasadena Playhouse. The elaborately produced production tells the story of Noppon, a Thai college student who falls in love with an ambassador’s American wife. Their tale of forbidden love spans from his college days in Japan to his return to his homeland Thailand, told through ornate sets and Disney-esque song and dance. While the Tak Viravan-directed musical delves into fairly traditional storylines of exoticism and passion, the production overall succeeds in amazing the audience from beginning to end. Incredibly refreshing about this production is the casting of mostly Asians and Asian-Americans, something usually not seen in theatre, especially in lavish productions such as this. The cast is led by Thai superstar Bie Sukrit, who makes his debut in American theatre in the lead role of Noppon. While this performance is considered his introduction, Sukrit eases into his role with his charisma and delightful singing. Alongside him, Emily Padgett,
who plays love interest Katherine, exhibits her experience in Broadway musicals, as she charms with her elegant performance as the conflicted wife of an ambassador. Thom Sesma also exhibits great acting skill, bringing an authentic sense of prestige to his role as said ambassador. The music and lyrics by Academy Award Winner David Shire and Tony Award Winner Richard Maltby Jr. are both catchy and, at times, profound, focusing not only on the typical ideas of love and self-discovery, but also the

complex perspectives of Eastern-Western relations. This is most true in the understated, but extremely compelling character, Kumiko, played by Lisa Helmi Johanson. Johanson’s Kumiko briefly explores the concept of being an American-born Asian who cannot find belonging in either 1930s America or in her supposed country of origin, Japan. The main character and his American love interest also share unique perspectives of each other’s culture. Noppon explores Asians’ glorification
of America and its culture, and Katherine presents herself ironically as the exotic character. Sure, at times, the musical draws painfully close to tired story of western ideology saving Asians from their oppressive eastern traditionalism, but, holistically the musical balances out these perspectives enough to prevent the production from becoming one-sided. Finally, most compelling about this musical are the aesthetic aspects of the play. From beginning to end, the production team truly amazes with gorgeous set pieces and costumes that not only hurl the audience back to the period in which the musical is set, but also exhibit the changing cultural attitudes of Asia at the time - not an easy feat to accomplish. In short, with great performances, wonderful music and aesthetics that astound, Waterfall is a must-see musical. Waterfall will play until June 28th at Pasadena Playhouse, 39 S. El Molino Ave., Pasadena, CA 91101. Show days/times are Tuesday through Friday evenings at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Prices are $30 to $87,
plus premium seating at $125. Tickets can be purchased at www.PasadenaPlayhouse.org, by calling (626) 356-7529, or at the Box Office.

Behind the Scenes of ‘Waterfall’ at the Pasadena Playhouse By jennifer schlueter Waterfall was adopted from the Thai novel Behind the Painting by Sriburapha. Director Tak Viravan loves its “universal love story” and was glad to direct a romantic musical, which, he claims, has become rare. In 2008, the musical successfully premiered in Thailand. Viravan had connections to the US from studying in Boston for twelve tears, and was asked to bring his production to the Pasadena Playhouse, where Artistic Director Sheldon Epps was looking to feature a production which would appeal to our Asian communities in the surrounding areas. The US team saw videos of the Thai production and wanted to create the same masterful set design, which scenic designer Sasavat Busayabandh accomplished. There will even be a real waterfall on stage (now, before anyone panics or complains due to California’s current drought conditions: it only runs recycled water). The Independent interviewed Viravan after the exclusive press preview of
Waterfall on Tuesday afternoon. The director explained the challenges of this multicultural production were to combine the beauties of both the Thai, an Eastern, with the American, Western cultures, which meant presenting the best of both worlds without diminishing the other. During the rehearsals, they were especially “careful” to incorporate everything correctly and “open” to learn from one another. The whole team was able to explore each other’s interpretations and together, they achieved a truly unique multicultural
collaboration, which was one of Viravan’s best learning experiences working with an international crew. Compared to Thailand, production process in the US has time limits “because of the unions and stuff,” Viravan elaborates. “In Thailand, you have all the time you want.” However, the director also notes that he has learned a lot of techniques here. Viravan laughs when he brings up a memory: One time, he told Maltby, Jr.: “You are so Thai.” Richard asked: “Is that a good thing?” Viravan answered: “Absolutely, I mean it in a good way!”

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.

The event is literally a museum without walls. Artworks range from classical to contemporary, whimsical to fantastic, inspirational to socially relevant. Participating artists work alone or in teams. Most are practicing professionals and many represent creative companies, animation studios, colleges, arts and cultural groups, and even artist families. Consequently, the artists of Pasadena Chalk comprise an incredibly diverse group, speak over 25 languages and span all ages. Street painting goes back to 16th century Italy, when artists were first named "Madonnari." Often, soldiers returning home from battle would give homage to the Madonna by painting at the steps of village churches and cathedrals. Over the years, prestigious cultural festivals in Europe, North America and South American have become popular attractions for artists, arts lovers and people from all walks of life. Many variations of 'dry painting' and painting with sand on the ground or similar art forms go back to Navajo,
Latin American and Tibetan traditions, just to name a few. At the festival's conclusion, participating artists will select the outstanding murals from among their peers. Awards include first, second and third place Best of Show, Best Technique, Best Use of Color, Best Original Design, Rendering of a Masterpiece and more. Festival visitors will also have the opportunity to vote for the "Paseo Colorado People's Choice" award. Ballots will be available on Sunday at the information booth.

City of Hope Researcher Leads Study to Test Drug That May Prevent Heart Failure for High-Risk Childhood Cancer Survivors by joyce peng Today, patients with childhood cancer have a better chance of surviving than before, due to better treatment. In the US, there are 400,000 survivors of childhood cancer, Dr. Saro Armenian, a pediatric oncologist and a clinical researcher at City of Hope Duarte, said. Yet, as these survivors age into adulthood, the very same treatments that saved their lives can cause significant health complications. Health complications, developing five or 10 years down the line, include the development of other cancers, problems in the lungs and thyroid, fertility issues, hormonal changes and cardiovascular complications. Heart failure can occur in survivors who have been treated with high doses of certain types of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, they tend to develop it much earlier than the general population, in their 20s and 30s, when they still have a long life ahead of them. There is not one type of drug that drives these com-
plications, Armenian noted. It’s a multi-modal approach with many different drugs, radiations, surgery and bone marrow transplant (BMT) that cause complications. Some patients develop complications from one specific drug and others from multiple treatments methods. Anthracyclines, a drug used in chemotherapy, is linked with a risk of heart failure - the higher the dosage, the higher the risk. Risk also increases in survivors who received anthracyclines along with radiation where the heart is in the treatment field. “We try to balance both treatment and strategies to maintain a healthy lifestyle after treatments,” Armenian voiced. Armenian’s primary study as a clinical researcher is the long term effects cancer has on the cardiovascular system in the aging population of survivors. His current study is testing whether a low-dose blood pressure medication could be used as an early prevention strategy for individuals

who have a high risk of developing heart failure. The study randomizes subjects in half, one half receiving a placebo and the other the actual drug. For two years, the participants will take the drugs while Armenian and his team monitor them. The low-dose
blood pressure medication, known as Carvedilol, has been around for decades and used by many people to treat high blood pressure and prevent heart failure. “The drug has never been used in this context before,” Armenian explained. “We use a lower dosage to
minimize the side effects to protect the heart. The drug is safe and well tolerant.” Armenian mentioned that two foundations, St. Baldrick’s Foundation and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, have contributed funds to his study. St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-powered charity based in Monrovia that funds the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and to give survivors long, healthy lives. Survivorship is one of its focus areas for funding. It has contributed $262,088 to Armenian’s study, St. Baldrick’s Foundation Media and PR Manager Traci Shirk said. City of Hope is the coordinating center among the three institutions working on this study: City of Hope, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis and the University of Michigan. His team’s plan is to have the study open within the children’s oncology group, which coordinates research across more than 200 institutions in North America.
Armenian and his team is currently looking for participants who received high doses of anthracyclines, are off treatment or therapy, and are at least 16 years old at the time of enrollment. They started recruiting a couple of years ago, and there are already participants enrolled on the study who are taking the drug. If Armenian’s study is successful, its information can be used to help avert the onset of treatment-related heart failure after completion of therapy. Additional risk reduction strategies being explored include: reducing the total doses of treatment given to children with cancer, as well as designing better drugs that specifically target the cancer cells in order to minimize the toxicity to non cancer cells. Armenian noted that as oncologists, they do not stop once treatment is over. “We continue to study survivors,” Armenian said. “We are committed to patients after cancer and want them to live long and healthy lives.”

One of the City’s most important booster stations is located at 510 S. Mountain Ave. That facility, which is known as the Mountain Avenue Booster Station, feeds both the Cloverleaf Reservoir and the other portions of the Cloverleaf Pressure Zone. In total, 90.95 percent of all of the water supplied to customers runs through this particular booster pump location. According to City M a n a g e r Oliver Chi’s weekly report, “It appears that one of the critical booster pumps (Booster 2-4) at the Mountain Avenue Booster Station has been inoperable since February 2005. This situation does need to be resolved, as we are rely-
served that during the summer of 2014 that we on several occasions nearly ran out of water for the Cloverleaf Pressure Zone due to the fact that our remaining
booster pumps could not quite keep up with the customer demand on our water systems. To further exacerbate the situation, during a very recent inspection, staff determined that one of the remaining critical booster pumps (Booster 2-1) at the Mountain Avenue Booster Station is in need of major repairs. “While that booster pump is operating now, staff is certain that the pump will fail at some point in the near future. The city is undertaking emergency repairs to Booster Pump 2-4 at the Mountain Avenue Booster Station to ensure that we will not have a system failure should Booster Pump 2-1 stop working.”
Services will be held for Mary Baker, fifth generation Californian, formerly a long time resident of Monrovia and the mother of that city’s Historian and City Treasurer. Mrs. Baker had resided in
central California for the last 42 years after being raised in this area. Services were held in the Ventura area last week with a local memorial to be held at St. Luke’s Episcopal
Church at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and California Avenue in Monrovia. The memorial will begin at IPM. A full tribute to Mrs. Baker will appear in next week’s paper.

City Manager Oliver Chi’s report on the city website. The report continues: “To that end, Chief Hunt has worked to reconvene the Homelessness and Park Conduct Committee to review the effectiveness of our current strategies, as well as discuss potential adjustments moving forward. Our current efforts have been based on the recommendations developed by the Homelessness & Park Conduct Committee that was established in 2014. The six ideas that the group came up with include: 1. Community Outreach Educational Programming 2. Directed Giving Campaign 3. Populate the Parks with Programs 4. Neighborhood Park Watch 5. Video Surveil-
lance Cameras 6. Restorative Court Program. “Of late, new issues and transient-oriented concerns have been raised, and we plan on engaging the committee in a discussion regarding the following items: Assess strategies for addressing the rise in transient populations living in recreational vehicles throughout the City; determine next steps for the directed giving campaign; and discuss current status of the six initial recommendations adopted by the city council. The committee will be meeting here again in the next week or two, and we will be sure to keep everyone apprised of the progress that we make here moving forward.”

Monrovia Police Chief Hunt called us back just before we went to press to tell us the cameras are, in fact, license plate readers part of a 2013 Homeland Security grant . The cameras ( four
in Monrovia) are part of the Gold Line corridor and will be placed in or around other main roads leading to and from the new light rail stations. The cameras, which have not yet been ac-

A recent University of Houston (UH) study suggests that long-term exposure to news may negatively influence racial bias toward social groups. Temple Northup, assistant professor at UH’s Jack J. Valenti School of Communication, studied the influence of news coverage on an individuals’ unconscious attitudes toward social groups. His study “Effects of LongTerm Exposure to News Stereotypes on Implicit and Explicit Attitudes” recently was published in the International Journal of Communication. According to Northup, this research is particularly unique because it examines the effects of news coverage in two cultural contexts – in the United States and in Austria. Three empirical studies were tested in the U.S. and Austria. Florian Arendt at the University of Munich in Germany and co-author of the study conducted the research in Austria, while Northup focused on subjects in the U.S. “The two countries were selected due to access of available data for a comparable news stereotype that exists in both countries,” said Northup. “In the U.S., a large body of research indicates crime is overrepresented on local television news relative to the actual amount of crime that actually occurs in a community. Previous content analyses conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan and the University of California, Santa Barbara have shown that that AfricanAmericans are overrepresented as criminals on local television news when compared to their actual crime rates. In Austria, research has suggested foreigners are overrepresented as criminals in tabloid-style daily newspapers.” A total of 316 individuals participated in the first study in the U.S. Participants completed the Implicit Association Test (IAT), a tool used in psychology to measure hidden bias people may have but are unwilling or
unable to report. After completing the IAT, participants answered a question about their explicit (conscious) attitudes toward AfricanAmericans, as well as how many hours of local television news they watch per day. “Based on the findings from the study in the U.S., long-term exposure to local television news, wherein African-Americans are depicted frequently and stereotypically as criminals, predicted increased negative implicit attitudes toward AfricanAmericans,” said Northup. “Viewers who watched more local television news demonstrated more unconscious negative attitudes toward African-Americans.” The study conducted in Austria was intended to be a replication of the U.S. study. A total of 489 individuals participated in the study. The same data procedure was used in the Austrian study as was used in the U.S. study. Participants reported how many days per week they read the specific newspaper under investigation. The study found that exposure to the tabloid-style daily newspaper did not increase the negativity of implicit attitudes. “Unlike with television news, though, people have much more control over a printed newspaper because they are able to selectively expose themselves only to stories of interest,” Northup said. “In other words, when watching television news, one has little control over what stories are viewed.” A third study also was conducted in Austria as a post hoc explanation of the second study’s findings that were inconsistent with the U.S. research. The third study investigated how much newspaper content participants are exposed to and the kinds of articles (i.e. crime articles) they read. A total of 470 individuals participated in this study. In addition to completing the IAT, participants reported how many days a week they read the specific newspaper under investigation and how often they read crime
articles. The findings from the third study found reading content specifically about crime had a significant effect on implicit attitudes toward foreigners when individuals indicated that they often read crime articles. “The results of the studies suggest that in both these countries, regular exposure to stereotypical news coverage creates negative implicit attitudes,” said Northup. “The findings from the study in the U.S. suggest individuals who consumed more local television news than others in the study may have increased negative racial bias toward African-Americans. In Austria, individuals who read more crime-related articles in a tabloid-style weekly newspaper tended to have an increased negative racial bias toward ‘foreigners.’” Northup hopes the results of this study will contribute to a better understanding and awareness of how watching television news coverage may lead to a negative racial bias, which in turn can lead to other negative outcomes, such as discriminatory behaviors. “Given that long-term exposure to media stereotypes seems to influence evaluations of AfricanAmericans and foreigners, more research investigating this implicit effect is needed,” said Northup. “Studying this phenomenon and its underlying mechanism is necessary. Only then will researchers be able to test different strategies to deal with these negative media effects, thereby enabling society to adequately resist the possible detrimental consequences of news media consumption. “By further studying this phenomenon, mass media research can contribute to the maintenance and improvement of a humane and open society.” To read the press release on the UH website, please visit http://www. uh.edu/news-events/storie s/052815WatchingTVRaci alBias

Two Duarte Unified Schools Selected for Prestigious Honor Roll
Royal Oaks Elementary & Valley View Elementary Recognized by California Business Community for High Achievement
Duarte Unified School District is pleased to announce that Royal Oaks and Valley View Elementary Schools have been selected by Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE) as two of 1851 public schools in California to receive the title of 2014 Honor Roll school. Schools receiving this distinction from the California business community have demonstrated consistent high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement levels over time and reduction in achievement gaps among student populations. Royal Oaks and Valley View Elementary received CBEE Honor Roll status and earned the “Star Schools” Award for showing a significant increase in the gradelevel proficiency of their students over time that includes their significant socio-economically disadvantaged student population. “It is an honor to be recognized by The Campaign for Business & Education Excellence, and we are proud that Royal Oaks and Valley View have been selected as Honor Roll schools,” said Dr. Terry Nichols, Superintendent of Duarte Unified. “Through the collaborative efforts of our faculty, staff, administration and parents, all Duarte Unified schools work to deliver a first class education that is engaging and adapted to the passions of our students. By
incorporating high expectations and quality instruction, we are making record gains in student academic achievement.” The annual Honor Roll award is made possible with support from numerous businesses and organizations including State Farm, Macy’s, Wells Fargo, Southern California Auto Club, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, the California Business Roundtable, and several private foundations. Chevron Corporation provided specific support in the creation of the STEM Honor Roll. “Many of our high performing schools are not getting the recognition they deserve. These schools that succeed in reducing the achievement gap and preparing their students for college and careers should be celebrated,” said Lee Blitch, CBEE Chairman and past CEO, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. “There are schools all over California that are leaders in ensuring their students are getting the best quality of education. Those schools need to be recognized.” The Honor Roll is a school recognition program that uses only academic achievement data showing improved academic growth over time and a closing of the achievement gap. “The American education system has a secret. Many schools are doing well… the Honor Roll proves it. Students are achieving at
Pasadena Sierra Madre Monrovia
higher levels than anyone admits and more students than ever are succeeding when given the opportunity.” said Jim Lanich, CBEE president. “All schools, no matter what zip code they are in, can achieve this kind of success and leadership from the business community is critical to ensuring successes for all students.” The Honor Roll list grew from 261 schools when the program began in 2005 to the current 1851 for 2014. The number of Honor Roll STAR (higher poverty, high achieving) schools increased from 74 in 2005 to 1328 in 2014. A full list of the Honor Roll schools and the STEM Honor Roll can be found at ca.edresults.org/HonorRoll or follow Jim Lanich, President and CEO at @JLanich or via email to outreach@ cbee.org. About the Campaign for Business & Education Excellence: The mission of the Campaign for Business & Education Excellence is to use the power of data to learn what works to improve public education and close the achievement gap. Since 1998, CBEE has worked to focus businesses around a common agenda for high performing public schools leading to increased college success and economic productivity. CBEE serves as the business community’s leading voice in education in California.

PCC Restructures Women’s Basketball Program Pasadena City College (PCC) Assistant Superintendent/Senior VicePresident of Academic and Student Affairs, Dr. Robert H. Bell, announced that the decision has been made to make changes to the coaching structure for the women’s basketball program for the 2015-2016 academic year. A head coach will be named in the near future to serve for the 2015-2016 academic year in place of Coach Joe Peron while the College evaluates its current coaching structure. Dr. Bell advised that in or about February 2015, the College was made aware of possible violations of the South Coast Conference’s recruiting bylaws. Upon review and determination that at least one violation occurred, in May 2015, the Conference called upon the College to examine its coaching structure and to take affirmative steps to ensure strict compliance with Conference bylaws. In response, the College has determined to evaluate the women’s
basketball coaching structure while under different leadership, to ensure that PCC students continue to reap the rewards and benefits of participating in organized team sports at the collegiate level. Dr. Bell explained, “PCC must not risk Conference sanctions for violation of Conference bylaws. That would penalize student athletes in the women’s basketball program, and potentially conference competition in all of the intercollegiate sports at the college. This would be heartbreaking and unfair to our students for whom athletic competition is an important part of their collegiate experience.” Dr. Bell added, “This is the basis for the decision to reconsider the coaching structure for the women’s basketball team. The decision was not disciplinary nor punitive, and during the coming year, Professor Peron will continue as a vital and important member of the faculty within our Kinesiology program.”
sports City of Hope Wins Big at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia The Santa Anita Bowling Green Club held the 44th annual City of Hope Tournament of the 6th of June. This year, Steven Bauchiero was the Tournament Director since Gayle Plunkett had to turn it over due to illness. So this year Steve changed the name of the tournament to “The Gayle Plunkett City of Hope Fundraiser” in honor of Gayle ending her cancer treatment at The City of Hope. (She’s doing great now.) There were 16 triple teams entered for the event, from all over Southern California. The lawn bowlers were divided into A and B Greens. The A green was for the more experienced Tournament Bowlers and the B green for the less experienced bowlers. As it ended up this year, the Winners on both greens were from Santa Anita Bowling Green Club. On the A Green the winners were Marinko Tudor, Margi Rambo, and Alan Ngo. The winners on the B green were Shuman and Amy Chan and Bob
Hauerwaas. The winners only got a small plaque for their efforts and all of the money collected from entry fees were given to The City of Hope’s Representative Mrs. Brenda Warner in the amount of $3,425. Brenda’s City of Hope Auxiliary in Whittier brings cookies, soda pop and cold water bottles for the bowlers each year. The effort of the Whittier ladies is greatly appreciated since they bake all of the cookies themselves. The attendance was low this year with only 16 teams entered. The event has a maximum of 28 teams’ capacity, and we’re hoping to have more teams next year. If you would like to learn to lawn bowl call Gene Plunkett at (626) 361-5327 for more information or schedule a free lesson. You need the desire to learn, flat sole shoes, a cap or visor and sun bloc and loose fitting clothes. We will provide everything else. Online you can go to www.lawnbowling-arcadia.com for more information about the club.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20120015000960. 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.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand
BeaconMediaNews.com that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05001618-14-1.

– Photo by Jacob Bigley
The Sneider family has hosted the Senior Games Powerlifting Championships for the last 23 years. Harry Sneider won numerous world championships and, at age 61, bench-pressed a world record 450 lbs. Sarah and Rob Sneider continued Harry’s legacy by hosting the Games again this year at Sneiders Family Fitness in Arcadia. Official referee Kevin Meschew and spotters Carolyn Zorn, Loren McClurg, and Hans provided great support. In the Women’s Division, the amazing Joyce Getzen, 86 years young from Arcadia, put up an impressive 70 lbs, winning a gold medal. Lee Brandon, Women’s two-time Long Drive Champion and creator of the Ab-Inforcer, won another gold. Arline Connelly from Pasadena, a gold medalist who has been a loyal lifter for the last 17 years, put up a very strong 95 lbs at age 68! Sarah Sneider won her 20th gold medal. And Kimberly Jones from Ventura received the Women’s Best Lifter Award with her lift of 120 lbs. The youthful 80 yearold Gino Roncelli from Arcadia competed along with his lovely wife Bingo Roncelli;
both walked away with gold medals around their necks. Robin Connelly from Pasadena won his 18th gold medal lifting over his bodyweight at age 68. From Alta Loma, Alan Haskvitz, 73, won gold lifting 160 lbs. David Conner from Shadow Hills captured the Men’s Best Lifter Award by powering up 285 lbs. The most inspiring lifter was 68 year-old Ronnie Garcia from Newbury Park, who arrived in a wheelchair. He is blind and has an amputated leg. Ronnie lifted 120 lbs to the applause of the audience, winning a gold medal. The California Senior Games Championships run through June 28 and you can still enter. 27 different sports will be contested at various venues including Cal Tech, the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center, and Pasadena City College.

Pasadena City College Program Preps New Students for Success by MAY S. RUIZ Most 18-year-olds in America reach an important milestone in their lives graduating from high school and entering college. This significant event usually involves moving away from home for the first time, making them independent people whether they are ready for it or not even close. The fact that so many teenagers going to college are unsure about how to navigate this new phase on their own was not lost on administrators and teachers at Pasadena City College. Brock Klein, PCC’s associate dean of pathways and professional learning, described what they observed. “Like other community colleges, PCC has struggled to help students identify their academic goals in a timely manner,” he said. “A powerful and transformative moment for me was when we convened a large group of campus leaders, and they presented their research data that showed that a vast majority of students were not completing their basic skills sequence. Over 65 percent didn’t have discernible outcome or milestone after six years, and almost 20 percent dropped out before the end
of their first year of college.” These findings led them to create First Year Pathways - a road for leading incoming students to transition to college smoothly and achieve success in school. This program was made possible through resources from the U.S. Department of Education’s Title V grant, Student Access and Success Initiative funds. Incoming freshmen enrolled in Pathways get guaranteed priority registration, acquire vital assistance in and out of the classroom from counselors, mentors and tutors, gain access to a study center and obtain access to the Second Year Pathway. First Year Pathways is made up of three components, the first of which is Summer Bridges. They currently host ESL, Design and Math Jams, which is the biggest. This is a one-week, nocost event that combines creative math instruction with student support services and engaging orientation activities. It is designed to make it a fun way to learn math
by making the subject less intimidating for students who are below the required college-level skill. Incoming freshmen attend workshops, meet faculty, tutors, advisors and counselors to familiarize them with campus life, and new students get acquainted with their classmates. Summer Math Jam participants found that it really wasn’t about learning math but about making connections and being comfortable on campus. New students then get to meet the Student Success Team of counselors, coaches and tutors, which makes up the second component of FYP. This group of experts is trained to handle their special needs, assist them academically and personally in getting and understanding their regular course status reports. Success Team mem-

He outlines the steps for anyone interested - complete the online admissions application, take the online student orientation, take the Math and English placement tests, apply to one of the First Year Pathways, and attend a New Student Counseling Session. As director of the hugely successful FYP, Klein proudly says that at the end of program’s first year, evaluation findings showed that students’ success rate was higher than their comparison group. They piloted this program with 300 students in 2011. This year the FYP served almost 1,900 students and is expected to grow to 2,500 participants next year. The San Gabriel Valley is home to a number of very desirable, highly selective colleges and universities that enhance the lives of students lucky enough to gain admission to them. But Pasadena City College stands out as the one institution of learning that actually transforms lives.

FSP Designs First Source Printing, also known as FSP Designs, is a printing shop located in Old Town Monrovia that specializes in customization. Established in 2001 by co-founder and current owner Matthew Geiger, the shop offers more than the average printing needs. Aside from business cards and brochures, the business also offers a variety of personalized printing services including design, sublimation, sports apparel, cheer/dance apparel, fan wear and accessories, heatapplied graphics, marketing, signage and promotional products. Although officially founded in 2001, FSP Designs has been in the making since 1993. The owner ignited his passion for graphic design when taking his first screen-printing class as a high school freshman. From that point on, there wasn’t a year Geiger wasn’t growing in his craft as he took the printing class every semester. Noticing his eagerness towards graphic design, Geiger’s professor allowed him to utilize the equipment to produce customized prints during his last semester of high school. Geiger seized the opportunity as he began to create merchandise for his first band “Undecided.” A few years following high school, Geiger collaborated with band partner Chad Daly and FSP Designs was born. After Daly moved to New York, Geiger continued the business. While juggling odd jobs and working as a mailman to sustain the company, Geiger finally took a leap of faith. “After four
years I quite the post office, I said ‘That’s it; I’m going to do this (work at FSP) fulltime,’” said Geiger. The chance proved to be worthwhile as FSP Designs now serves as one of the most recommended customized print shops in the San Gabriel Valley. FSP Designs’ target market ranges from a vast array of school programs, community organizations and different businesses to individuals who may simply want a customized pair of socks. However, FSP Designs offers special printing incentives for school associated programs. The company also makes various donations; such as its upcoming donation of a hundred gift-bags to Duarte for hosting the Special Olympics. One of the challenges for FSP Designs is getting accustomed to the new advanced equipment. Although mastering new printing machines takes a lot of trial and error, Geiger said it’s worth it to stay updated with the latest printing trends. Aside from the ongo-
