Southern California Edison Adding Flat Rate for Low-Energy Users BY NICK KIPLEY
On their website, Southern California Edison gives a reason for the recent plan to restructure their rates over the next few years. SoCal Edison claims that they will restructure their rates so that those who don’t pay much on their energy bills now will have to pay a flat rate, because their customers who use quite a lot of energy actually offset those who do not use much energy at all. This, they claim, isn’t fair to those who use lots of energy. Their official reasoning is as follows: “For many years high-usage customers have subsidized low-usage customers. With these changes, costs will be more evenly spread among all customers.” Of course, one could argue that by forcing customers who use very little energy to pay a flat fee, they are essentially paying in part for the whole complicated infrastructure that delivers the electricity to their door in the first place—and one could argue the same about the taxes embedded in a
gallon of gas. Unfortunately, rather than say this outright, SoCal Edison chooses to embed their reasoning in an example that doesn’t make much sense at all, claiming that “this allows for a more equitable recovery of ‘fixed’ costs through fixed charges, and will include a reduction in the price charged per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity. That should help avoid some of the bill volatility some customers experience during hot weather.” This means that the future “minimum” electric bill will be $10 per month, and $5 for low-income households. In other words, if you can only stir the air in your small studio apartment during a heat wave by means of a weak oscillating fan, you might as well invest in a pawn-shop window A/C unit given the fact that the guy who has to cool down his 7,000 square-foot hillside villa no longer has to “pay” for your energy expenses. Which is fair, if you think about it: you now get to re-budget for ten bucks a month worth of cold air.
In a vague conclusion, SoCal Edison states: “If our proposal is adopted, residential customers would see bill increases or decreases depending upon their monthly usage levels, their rate plan, and other changes in our authorized cost recovery.” Which ultimately hardly makes a claim whatsoever given what they’re suggesting is that if you use less energy you get to pay less, until you are hardly using any energy whatsoever, and then you get to pay $10. The reasoning behind all of this comes apparently form how energy is “changing,” or, from the fact that SoCal Solar Power Stations produce their maximum output at around noon, whereas SoCal wind farms produce most of their energy at night. It may also come from the fact that if you’re one of the people who can’t afford air conditioning and are worried that an eventual $10 flat rate energy bill might throw off your SEE PG. 7

Send your letters to tmiller@beaconmedianews.com Readers Respond Vehemently to Wuo’s Denied Involvement in Gemcoin ARCADIA – SPEAK OUT AND THEN VOTE HIM OUT!!! The political and financial morass is deepening for John Wuo. He makes public appeals for Gemcoin and is introduced as the company’s
honorary chairman. See the photos for yourself from Gemcoin’s investor/public slide presentation. http://behindmlm.com/ mlm-reviews/usfia-reviewgemcoin-ponzi-points-investment/ Wuo has not been forthcoming about his private financial affairs and the impact
they have on his actions as a public official. His statements of not knowing and his “afterhe’s-been-outed” shows of concern ring hollow. This is just the latest in a series of scandals for John Wuo, coming on the heels of his solicitation of money from developers in Arcadia to travel to China for more,
potential illegal or certainly conflict-of-interest business deals to be conducted while acting in an official city capacity. This is just the tip of the iceberg, Arcadia. Don’t be the Titanic. Steer a course away from John Wuo before he brings down our great city and further sullies our repu-

This article only scratches the surface. Thousands of investors around the world have put money into this Gemcoin scheme. The minimum investment is $1,000 but many have invested far more. In other words they have taken in millions. The only investors who make money are those who get commissions for bringing in more investors. Supposedly the Gemcoins are ‘guaranteed’ by $15 billion from amber mines in the Dominican Republic. However, there are no large amber mines in that country and the phone number of the USFIA ‘headquarters’ in the Dominican Republic is out of order. At first USFIA was telling investors they would get Visa debit card so they could withdraw money from their accounts at ATMs. However this wasn’t true. Now they are telling investors there will be a global ‘trading platform’ where people can sell their Gemcoins. They even claim they have shipped boxes of amber to the U.S. Treasury to ‘guarantee’ the Gemcoins. Here is a link to one of their member webpages in Italy, even if you can’t read Italian take a look at the photos. https://www.facebook. com/pages/USFIA-INC-Italia/1438953329697645. Interesting, but they mainly sign up investors outside the U.S., maybe they think this way they can escape the SEC and California authorities. -C.M. Friedland Vote him out; he thinks Arcadia residents are stupid and he doesn’t care about the future of the city he is slowly undermining. He is the leader of the pack of jackals (auto correct suggested jackass)
determined to do what they want that never seems to be in the interest of the majority of Arcadians. Our city looks like a joke with McMansions towering over average-size homes everywhere you look. -Carol Smith
Wuo feels used?????? The people of Arcadia have been used! We must get rid of him and two others. -Vonnie Stanchfield Dear Editor:
The article about feral cats written by D. Papa was very interesting. Many people just feed feral and stray cats without trapping and neutering them, and then the overpopulation problem gets out of hand. Trapping cats takes a lot of patience and can be very tricky. I have trapped many cats and kittens and had them tested and vaccinated and neutered. Many were adopted and screening people takes a lot of time but it’s worth it. If a female cat is not spayed she can have several litters in just one year, and then those kittens have kittens multiplying all out of proportion to the homes available. If a cat is abandoned he is subject to eventual disease and/or starvation! They cannot fend for themselves. Call 1-877-SPAYPET, toll-free, for low-cost spay and neuter through Pet Assistance Foundation. -C. Jensen TEMPLE CITY Take down that flag … Take down that flag by any means necessary … Then it happened, and no, it wasn’t a comic book super hero or heroine. There she was answering the call, while others ponder the challenge. What is the proper way to remove the confederate flag in South Carolina? Didn’t the governor Nikki Haley say the flag should be removed? Then it happened: a Black woman, Brittany Newsome, on a mission scaled the 30 foot flagpole outside the South Carolina State House. What a feeling of liberation For 20 minutes a sigh of relief What a monument that would make a Black woman bring down the Confederate battle flag with her words “We remove this flag today because we can’t wait any longer. We can’t continue like this is another day. “It’s time for a new chapter where we are sincere about dismantling white supremacy and building toward true racial justice and equality.” -Ralph R. Walker

Majority Leader Holden’s ‘Franchise Bill of Rights’ Legislation Passes Senate Committee Assemblymember Chris Holden’s (D-Pasadena) legislation to protect the rights of small business franchise owners has been approved in Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee. The vote was 6 to 1 in favor. AB 525 makes it more difficult for major chains to unfairly terminate their franchise operators. The measure will update the current vague and one-sided law to close loopholes and prohibit a corporation from closing a franchise business unless there has been a substantial violation of the contract, the law or local regulations. It also allows franchisees to keep the equity they invested in the event of termination and sell the business to a qualified new owner. “As a former small business franchise owner,
I can tell you that the onesided nature of a franchise relationship quickly becomes apparent after signing a franchise agreement,” testified Assemblymember Holden. “This bill will help prevent these small business owners from losing their establishments for “ticky-tacky” violations that should not lead to termination, but often does.” Specifically, AB 525 changes the standard for which a franchisee can be terminated from “good cause” to “substantial compliance.” Substantial compliance is found in the franchise law of five other states. The measure is jointly authored with Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, Assemblymembers Bill Dodd (D-Napa) and Scott Wilk (R-Santa Clarita). The bill now goes to Senate Judiciary.

Irene Konogeris Albeck Receives Medal of St. Paul Irene Konogeris Albeck of Pasadena has received the Medal of St. Paul, the highest honor given to a layperson in the Greek Orthodox Church. The medal was awarded by His Eminence, Iakovos, Archbishop of America, and presented to Mrs. Albeck by His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos of San Francisco, during the 32nd National St. John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival held in June at St. Anthony Greek Orthodox Church, Pasadena. Rev. Peter Stratos, pastor of St. Anthony, said Mrs. Albeck was honored for a lifetime of church service starting in San Bernardino and San Jose. She began her 48 years of teaching Sunday School at St. Anthony in 1964 and has been director for 25 years. She was recording secretary for nine years on the Parish Council Executive Board. In 2000 she helped launch the parish Vacation Bible School and directed it for 13 years. Mrs. Albeck coordinates Holy Friday retreats, and two parish youth programs. This year she also cochaired the 32nd National Oratorical Festival.
She also has worked for many years in the Philoptochos Society, the national women’s philanthropic organization, taking major responsibilities for the Christmas Benefit Luncheon and the board of directors. For the greater Pasadena community Mrs. Albeck has led the monthly teams of church volunteers serving dinners at Union Station for many years, and is a member of Villa Esperanza Women’s Guild. For decades Mrs. Albeck has been and still is one of the first people to
arrive at church to assemble supplies, prepare her classroom, and start coffee for Fellowship Hour, and the last to leave, making certain everything is clean. Father Stratos described her devotion and humble faithfulness as truly remarkable, especially coupled with the care of her family, the raising of a son and daughter, alone after her husband died, and teaching full time for 30 years - 17 years at Villa Esperanza, and 13 teaching special education at John Marshall High School.
A Rancho Palos Verdes physician was arrested on a warrant charging him with illegally prescribing drugs, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Dr. Richard Seongjun Kim (DOB 8/1/72) is scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday in Department 30 at the Foltz Criminal Justice Center in case BA437315. He is being held on $100,000 bail. The case is being prosecuted by Deputy District Attorneys John Niedermann and Emily
Street of the Major Narcotics Division. Prosecutors said Kim is charged with 21 counts of illegally prescribing narcotics without a legitimate medical need to undercover operatives working with the Drug Enforcement Administration. Over the course of three months in 2014, the general practitioner allegedly wrote prescriptions for Norco, Xanax, Soma, and Adderall without ever conducting a physical exam, taking any vital signs or completing any
medical charts at his clinic on Western Avenue in Rancho Palos Verdes. Prosecutors said Kim would ask the operatives to bring in prior medical charts and X-rays to justify the prescribing. On one occasion, an operative brought in a chest X-ray of a dog that was used to justify his prescriptions, prosecutors said. If convicted on all counts, Kim faces up to 16 years, four months in local custody. The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

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 that showed the attack, captured by a security camera, was played at trial. The case was investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Southwest Division.
A 39-year-old man accused of killing a AAA driver as he was helping a customer was arraigned, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Tobias Ruben Cabrera (DOB 8/24/75) pleaded not guilty to one count of murder in case VA139297. The charging document includes a special allegation that the defendant personally used a deadly and dangerous weapon, a knife, during the commission of the crime. Additionally, the felony complaint alleges that Cabrera was previously convicted of corporal injury with great bodily injury to a
spouse/cohabitant/child’s parent in 2001 and possession for sale of a controlled substance in 2011. Prosecutors said on June 2, victim Raymond Zabala, a AAA driver, drove to a Pico Rivera neighborhood to service a customer’s car. While working on the car, Cabrera, a transient, reportedly walked up to Zabala and asked what was going on before attacking and stabbing the victim with a knife, prosecutors added. Following the assault, Cabrera allegedly got on a bike and fled the area, prosecutors said. Zabala went to a neighboring home to
seek help, but ultimately succumbed to his injuries at the scene, prosecutors said. Several days after the incident, Cabrera was located by law enforcement and subsequently charged in connection with the attack. Cabrera is scheduled to return to court on Aug. 4 for a prehearing conference at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Norwalk Branch in Department J. If convicted as charged, the defendant faces a possible maximum sentence 37 years to life in state prison. The case is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

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

Golden State Water Activates Stage 1 of Staged Mandatory Water Conservation Golden State Water Company (Golden State Water) has activated Stage 1 of its Staged Mandatory Water Conservation and Rationing filing (Schedule 14.1) for all water systems, following approval from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This action adds new, more-specific outdoor irrigation restrictions for all customers, effective July 1. The Stage 1 restrictions assign two outdoor irrigation days as well as times when outdoor watering is permit-
ted for each water system. Failure to comply with restrictions could result in a written warning, installation of a flow restrictor for a minimum of seven days (fees for installation/removal) or termination of water service. Restrictions do not apply for trees or edible vegetation watered solely by drip or microspray systems. Customers are encouraged to visit Golden State Water’s Drought Page at gswater. com/drought (gswater.com/ sequiafor Spanish-speaking
customers) for additional information, including assigned outdoor irrigation days and times. Golden State Water has alerted all customers with written notification, sharing details of the Staged Mandatory Water Conservation and Rationing filing, including Stage 1 restrictions. Additionally, public meetings were held in all service areas to share information and answer questions about the filing. “Given the severe drought in California, the
State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) has assigned reduction mandates in an effort to reduce statewide water use,” said Toby Moore, Water Resources Manager and Chief Hydrogeologist for Golden State Water. “Regulated utilities like Golden State Water are required to file Staged Mandatory Water Conservation and Rationing plans that outline restrictions, water allocations and enforcement measures to help the communities we serve achieve the state’s reduction mandates. “Stage 1 activation should not significantly impact customers, given that outdoor irrigation was already limited to two days each week, per the current level of our Water Shortage Contingency Plan. This step simply adds enforcement op-
tions and assigns which days and times customers may water outdoors.” On May 5, 2015, the State Water Board adopted emergency regulations assigning water-use reduction mandates ranging from 4-36 percent, compared to 2013 usage, to water systems throughout the state. The reduction mandates took effect on June 1, 2015. On June 1, 2015, Golden State Water filed its Staged Mandatory Water Conservation and Rationing plans for all water systems, and on June 30, 2015, the CPUC approved the activation of Stage 1 in all areas. “Because the majority of California’s residential water use is for outdoor irrigation, the Stage 1 restrictions should help customers achieve the state-mandated
water reduction targets,” said Benjamin Lewis, General Manager of the Foothill District for Golden State Water. “Progression to additional Stages or a reduction in the number of watering days would only be necessary if we fall short of reaching the state’s conservation goals or if a water shortage emergency warrants the action.” Additional information about the drought, water restrictions and water-use efficiency rebates and programs available to customers is available at gswater.com/ drought or by calling Golden State Water’s 24-hour Customer Service Center at (800) 999-4033. Customers are encouraged to follow @GoldenStateH2O on Twitter for real-time information about the drought and their water service.

Fun with Words but then I lost interest. England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool. I tried to catch some fog, but I mist. I changed my iPod's name to Titanic. It's syncing now. Jokes about German sausage are the wurst. I stayed up all night to see where the sun went, and then it dawned on me. This girl said she recognized me from the vegetarian club, but I'd never met herbivore. When chemists die, they barium. I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can't put it down. I saw a theatrical per-
formance about puns. It was a play on words. I didn't like my beard at first. Then it grew on me. Did you hear about the cross-eyed teacher who lost her job because she couldn't control her pupils? When you get a bladder infection, you know urine trouble. Broken pencils are pretty much pointless. What do you call a dinosaur with an extensive vocabulary? A thesaurus. I got a job at a bakery because I kneaded dough. Velcro - what a rip off! And finally -- All the toilets in Arcadia's police station have been stolen. As of now, it appears the police have nothing to go on.

Governor Issues Call to Arms on Climate Change With the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris quickly approaching, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. Wednesday called on states and provinces to join California in the fight against climate change in keynote remarks at the Climate Summit of the Americas in Toronto. “The real source of climate action has to come from states and provinces,” said Governor Brown, “This is a call to arms. We’re going to build up such a drumbeat that our national counterparts – they’re going to listen.” Earlier in the day, Governor Brown joined founding signatories Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Washington Governor Jay Inslee to witness Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard sign the “Under 2 MOU,” a first-of-its-kind agreement amongst states and provinces around the world to limit the increase in global average temperature to below two degrees Celsius – the warming threshold at which scientists say there will likely be catastrophic climate disruptions. “Quebec and California have been leaders in the development of the carbon market and Ontario is also putting a limit on the main sources of greenhouse gas pollution through a capand-trade system,” said Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard. “Quebec is also
proud to have signed the Under 2 MOU today. With the concerted efforts of all federated states we will achieve concrete results in the fight against climate change.” The agreement, under which signatories commit to either reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 to 95 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 or achieve a per capita annual emission target of less than 2 metric tons by 2050, was first signed by Governor Brown and other global leaders in May. Additional states and provinces signed onto the agreement in June and July and with the addition of Quebec – Canada's largest and second most populous province – 18 states and provinces in nine countries and four continents have signed the agreement, collectively representing more than $5.3 trillion in GDP and 130 million people. The agreement provides a template for the world's nations to follow as work continues toward

other international climate change pacts with leaders from Mexico, China, North America, Japan, Israel and Peru. Governor Brown also helped convene hundreds of world-renowned researchers and scientists to issue a groundbreaking call to action – called the consensus statement – which translates key scientific climate findings from disparate fields into one unified document. In his inaugural address earlier this year, Governor Brown announced that within the next 15 years, California will increase from one-third to 50 percent the electricity derived from renewable sources; reduce today's petroleum use in cars and trucks by up to 50 percent; double the efficiency savings from existing buildings and make heating fuels cleaner; reduce the release of methane, black carbon and other potent pollutants across industries; and manage farm and rangelands, forests and wetlands so they can store carbon. The impacts of climate change are already being felt in California and will disproportionately impact the state's most vulnerable populations.
A 26-year-old man was charged last week with carjacking an elderly man in San Dimas, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Joshua Frontino (DOB 5/18/89) of San Dimas has been charged with four felony counts: carjacking; elder abuse, infliction of injury; grand theft auto with prior; and fleeing a pursuing peace officer’s motor vehicle while driving
recklessly in case KA110034. The felony complaint includes a special allegation that the defendant inflicted great bodily injury during the commission of the crime. Additionally, the charging document alleges Frontino was previously convicted of unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle in 2012. Frontino is scheduled to be arraigned in Department F at the Los Angeles County

After a police pursuit, the defendant was arrested in connection with the attack. If convicted as charged, the defendant faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in state prison.

Immigration Resource Center of San Gabriel Valley Receives Federal Recognition to Provide Needed Legal Services Immigration Resource Center of San Gabriel Valley (IRCSGV), an extension of Mountainside Communion – A Church of the Nazarene and community partners, announced that on June 12, they officially received federal recognition by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) to be an authorized site for immigration legal services. By law, only licensed attorneys and BIA accredited representatives can provide any form of immigration legal advice.
The BIA “recognizes” nonprofit organizations (such as churches) and “accredits” individuals trained in immigration law to provide immigration legal services. BIA-recognized non-profit organizations are authorized to conduct immigration legal work only if they provide low-cost services and serve under-resourced families and individuals. IRCSGV has become the only active BIA recognized site in the entire San Gabriel Valley region of Los Angeles
County. Along with the BIA recognition, Director Scott Haskins also received BIA accreditation for the IRCSGV. They plan to add on four more volunteer accredited representatives by the end of 2015. The IRCSGV is the fruit of many years of partnership between Spanish and English speaking congregations and civic and community leaders in the Monrovia area. The program has been in development over the
past couple years and officially launched in October 2014. Since then, the IRCSGV has been a part of leading seven educational community forums to spread accurate information about the Executive Actions President Obama announce in November 2014, as well as two application workshops where they were able to help a significant amount of people apply for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). They started providing in-office consul-
Girl Scout Emma Antonides’ Gold Award Project Is AbilityFirst’s After-School Program
The AbilityFirst Lawrence L. Frank Center, which provides programs for children and adults with disabilities, announced that Emma Antonides selected the center's after-school program for her "Girl Scout Gold Award" project. The award represents the highest honor a member of the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles can achieve. Earning the Gold Award requires the planning and implementation of a challenging, large-scale project that is innovative and engaging, and has a lasting impact on its targeted community. During the month of July, Emma will be leading and teaching unique and creative art lessons to participants in the after-school enrichment program at the AbilityFirst Lawrence L. Frank Center on Kinneloa Avenue in Pasadena. The center serves children and youth with developmental disabilities including autism, cerebral palsy, and intellectual disabilities, as well as a
range of physical challenges. Emma will be teaching them the three basic categories of color theory and color harmony. She will be using multiple forms including finger painting, scratch paper art, candy leis, and an innovative class called "Expressing Emotion through Painting," which will include music. Emma will be hosting a bake sale and jewelry sale fundraiser on Saturday, July 18, to help the Center continue the art classes in her absence. On Aug. 8, there will be an open house showcas-
ing the program participants’ art work and how their talent and love for art progressed. "The students in our program are eagerly looking forward to discovering their inner artists and musicians this summer. The Lawrence L. Frank Center staff is grateful to Emma for helping our participants increase their creative thinking and selfconfidence through arts and music appreciation," said AbilityFirst Program Supervisor Jenny Valadez. For more than 89 years, AbilityFirst has provided
A motorist was charged last week with the fatal hit-and-run death of a bicyclist recently in Highland Park, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Alexis Virto (DOB 10/20/93) of Los Angeles was charged with one count each of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage causing injury, driving with a .08% blood alcohol content causing injury and hit
and run driving resulting in death or serious injury to another person. He is scheduled to be arraigned today in Department 30 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center. On June 26 at about 3 a.m., Virto was driving northbound on Figueroa Street near Pasadena Avenue when he is accused of hitting 33-yearold cyclist Jose Luna with his vehicle. Investigators believe Virto was driving between 60 and 80 mph and the impact of the crash
severed one of the victim’s legs. Prosecutors said Virto reportedly drove away with Luna on his hood for about 200 yards. Virto allegedly abandoned his car and was later arrested at his home. Prosecutors are recommending bail be set at $130,000. If convicted as charged, Virto faces up to six years in state prison. Case BA437697 remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Traffic Division.

walking distance to some of you). However, not all parks are created the same and not all parks cater to different audiences (from adults to children). Yet, there is one exceptional park located in San Marino that caters to all. In my opinion, Lacy Park is the best park in the San Gabriel Valley. When you arrive, there is a small parking area located out front (which is often full), but luckily, the city of San Marino permits street parking (just be sure to verify allotted hours and excluded days). When I recently visited Lacy Park, I parked on the street, close to an entrance gate, and walked right into the beautiful, large city park. Different from other parks in recent years that may be void of lush trees and grasses, Lacy is filled with beautiful foliage. And you can walk, literally, through the trees on two different
concrete pathway loops that will take you around the park at whatever speed you choose to saunter. Lacy Park is 30 acres and it resides in the middle of a largely residential area of San Marino, an area that you likely would drive by, assuming it is large enough to be a golf course (so that’s what is must be). But on the contrary: it is one of the most easily accessible parks in the San Gabriel Valley, located closely to Huntington Drive. As the City of San Marino’s website mentions, the park was originally “Wilson Lake” in 1875 but the city bought the land in 1925 and it became a park. Today, the park provides the comforts and the entertainment you would expect when you take your family for an outdoor outing: picnic areas, a small softball field, large playgrounds, and lots of open
grass spaces. Dogs are absolutely welcome, but do note that Lacy Park is not a “dog park” and it is required that your dog is on a leash. There are tennis courts administered by the San Marino Tennis Foundation. But, best of all, I enjoyed the Rose Arbor. Tucked away in the far corner of the park, a small arbor area is covered with vines and elegant roses. Equipped with benches, the Rose Arbor area provides a pleasant space to come visit, even just to have a reflective moment outdoors. Of course, best of all, Lacy Park is free on the weekdays. But, as the city’s website states, there is a “nominal” fee to non-residents on Saturdays and Sundays for park entrance. For more information on Lacy Park, go to the city’s website: https://ca-sanmarino. civicplus.com/277/LacyPark.
Cal Phil Presents Rogers & Hammerstein With Special Guests Anthony Fedorov and Filipina Broadway Star Jennifer Paz
California Philharmonic audiences are in for an extra special treat when they attend the spectacular second concert of the season “Rogers, Hammerstein & More” on Saturday July 11 at Santa Anita Race Track and Sunday July 12 during a matinee performance at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Not only will they be enchanted and moved by a world-class orchestra under the direction of esteemed Maestro Victor Vener, but they will also feel first-hand the deep love that special guests Anthony Fedorov and Jennifer Paz have for performing – and for each other. The talented duo will be performing songs from South Pacific, Cinderella, and The Sound of Music as well as some other surprises. “This will be a couple of ‘firsts’ for me,” said Fedorov, who captured the hearts of millions years ago with his voice and his story as a finalist on the 4th season of American Idol. “It’s the first time I will be performing with the California Philharmonic and the first time ever doing a concert like this with Jen! I’m so excited! I love the rush of singing with a live orchestra.” Jennifer, a Filipina

thing special,” said Jennifer, who is currently a soloist with Boublil/Schonberg’s “Do You Hear the People Sing” concert tour and has starred on stage in such masterpieces as Les Misérables’ 10th Anniversary on Broadway and the national tour of Miss Saigon. As for this year, Jennifer is looking forward to revisiting some of Rogers and Hammerstein and Andrew Lloyd Webber music, noting that she has played Cinderella and Mary Magdalene in
regional productions. And, she continued, “Since I’ve devoted these recent years to being with our two-year-old son, Julian, it’ll be nice that mommy gets to dress up for the night and sing some gorgeous music while sharing the stage with my husband! Getting to perform together with Cal Phil is like the best date night ever for us!” In March of 2011 while on tour with Broadway Asia performing Joseph and the Amazing Techni-

As mentioned before, the kids are out of school and one of the first questions is: what are some enjoyable activities that my family can enjoy together? Perhaps even more pressing in the post Great Recession age is this: what activities can we enjoy together that won’t cost our family too much? Each week, Beacon Media News will take a quick glimpse at free entertaining activities in Los Angeles in hopes that this summer can be one to remember (and one that won’t break the bank). And one of the easiest ways to take a little break during the morning, noon, or evening has always been a visit to your city or regional parks. The San Gabriel Valley is no exception, because every few blocks from Pasadena to Azusa, there is a city park likely very close to where you live (even within a short

Filipino Singing Sensation Jennifer Paz Joins Cal Phil This Weekend From the Philippines to Seattle to New York, Los Angeles, around the globe and on screen, Jennifer Paz has lent her silver-toned voice and consummate acting skills to productions ranging from Miss Saigon, Les Misérables, Touched by An Angel and more. Last summer, she took Cal Phil audiences by storm with a brief appearance singing a medley of songs from Disney’s smash animated feature Frozen. On the bill are highlights from The Sound of Music, South Pacific, Cinderella and more, including some special surprises. “Working with Jennifer last summer was a real treat,” said Maestro Vener. “Her voice is gorgeous, and her ability to project character through music is unparalleled. I’m thrilled at the prospect of working with her again—and having her equally talented and accomplished singing and life partner Anthony Fedorov join us. The love, joy, and passion they exude when singing together is something everyone will remem-
ber for a lifetime.” Since Miss Saigon, Jennifer has appeared on Broadway in Les Misérables (10th Anniversary cast) and made her international stage debut in The
Fantasticks with Singapore Repertory Theatre. Jennifer is a soloist with Do You Hear the People Sing Concert Tour celebrating the music of Les Miz and Miss Saigon creators Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg. Her Los Angeles stage credits include David Henry Hwang’s newly adapted Flower Drum Song (pre-Broadway Mark Taper
Forum and NYC workshop) where she took over the role of Mei-Li for the production’s celebrated fiveweek extension.
Jennifer splits her time between Seattle and Los Angeles and is engaged to singer/songwriter/actor Anthony Fedorov—the two recently welcomed their first child, son Julian. Together the real-life couple forms the duo Auraganix and recently released their duo debut children’s album Every Little Thing. A California Philharmonic show is more than just a concert, it is an experience. Saturdays are always right on track with concerts at Santa Anita Race Track. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. to pre-concert dining including delicious gourmet food offerings available on-site, full bars, and live jazz. Concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. Table and lawn seating on the lush green grass of Santa Anita Race Track’s infield are available, complete with the area’s best unobstructed view of the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains.

SuperScooper Firefighting Aircraft to Arrive in Los Angeles Sept. 1 Two CL-415 SuperScoopers fire-fighting aircraft leased from the government of Quebec will arrive for service in Los Angeles County on Sept. 1, according to the County Board of Supervisors. SuperScoopers are a fixed-wing aircraft that can carry up to 1,620 gallons of water and takes only 12 seconds to scoop water from a lake and inject it with fireresistant foam – a combination up to three times more effective than water alone. They can be airborne in as little as five minutes and fly three hours before refueling. In addition, an Erickson Aircrane Type I Helitanker was also leased for the 2015 fire season. Capable of delivering 2,200 gallons per drop, it will be placed into service on Saturday, August 15, 2015. “To combat wildfire and protect life and property, these vital aircraft will supplement our County Fire Department’s water-dropping helicopters, its arsenal of ground equipment, and the nation’s finest firefighting force,” said Antonovich. The Los Angeles County Fire Department will continually monitor the fire activity, wildland fuel conditions and weather forecasts in order to determine if
these important firefighting resources will need to be
extended past their initial lease periods.
Introduced in March 2015 by Rep. Katherine M Clark of Massachusetts, The Pet and Women Safety Act (H.R. 1258) is just beginning its journey to becoming a law that could potentially save lives, and help countless victims of domestic violence, regardless of gender. It's a little-known piece of legislation that is getting a big push from MiLLENNiAL Magazine. With animal rights advocate and editor-in-chief Britt Hysen at the helm, the magazine hopes to bring attention to an often-overlooked cause. New Jersey animal advocate Adriana Meucci took an in-depth look at the problem in the June 10th issue of MiLLENNiAL. What she found was a problem that was serious beyond expectation. She learned that nearly half (48%) of victims of domestic violence stay in abusive situations longer than they otherwise would have out of fear of leaving their pet.
And it's a justified fear: the numbers show that abusers often harm or kill a pet when their victim escapes to a shelter. The PAWS Act would increase emergency shelter for the pets of domestic violence victims, allowing them to leave with their pet and make sure their pet is safe. Just as importantly, the PAWS act would offer legal protection to pets in domestic violence situations. Threatening a pet would be a crime, states would be encouraged to include pets when a victim is granted a protection order, and abusers would be required to pay financial compensation for any injury that they cause to a pet. In states that include pets in protection orders, an abuser would be subject to arrest if they approached the pet, something that would offer more peace of mind for victims and help them and their pets move forward with their lives.
As of June 15, PAWS Act (H.R. 1258) has the bipartisan support of 83 US Representatives. To support the Act, which has yet to pass the House and Senate, advocates should contact their State Legislators via the Animal Welfare Institute's Contact form, or by contacting their representative directly.

carefully balanced budget, then you’re probably a person who is too exhausted or working possibly one too many jobs to stand on the shadeless July sidewalk and picket a downtown utilities company. Which sort of makes it the perfect amount of money for SoCal Edison to charge such a customer for trying to get away with conserving electricity to begin with.
A new California Appellate case just published August 8, 2013, “Glaski v. Bank of America”, holds that a homeowner can challenge his lender’s right to foreclose by showing that the Deed of Trust never made it into the securitized trust until after the trust’s closing date. This issue is now squarely before the California Supreme Court in Yvanova v. New Century Mortgage Corp. This is the case in most loans made in the last 12 years. If the bank foreclosed we should be able to get the homeowner money damages and/or the house back. Or a lawsuit could be filed and a court ruling obtained preventing the court from foreclosing. Recently enacted Sections 2924(a)(6) and 2924.19 of California Civil Code provide the same relief to homeowners. It is highly suggested that homeowners take this window of opportunity to get relief before the banks get Congress to close this door with national legislation. Contact us so we can help you.

Big Bully Government! The Sierra Madre City Government has become a "big bully" of regulation and the charges that they have placed on the people of the city, whom they are supposed to be serving.
On the subject of water use, if it isn't bad enough doubling the water rates and the contraction of "4" tiers of charges, they also introduced a 30% mandatory reduction in the use of water. They constantly say there is no penalty when they charge $2.66/HCF for the first tier and $4.66/HCF for the 4th tier. What else is it if not a penalty? Then they set quotas for each household which is theoretically 30% below the use after the 20% voluntary reduction. If a person appeals for an increase based upon the city's error, then they cannot get the issues settled. Now the city wants the homeowner to submit to an audit by a
city-approved water expert. They also are placing limits on how much and what kind of landscaping a homeowner can plant. Now comes the subject of the 30% reduction, and we shall use the figures supplied by the city. The base figure August 2012 was 316 GPCD (two month billing). 30% reduction would be 221/HCF. The highest use per billing period equaled an overage of 203 (September 2014). The lowest use was December of 2014 equaling an average of 110 (More than 60%). Now they want to reduce the figure from 110 to 73/HCF per two-month billing period, which equals a 77% reduction from the 316 figure. You are welcome to check the math! What do they call 30%? Now the staff is recommending so-called sur-
charge (penalty) for any excess use over the individual conservation goals per Sierra Madre Municipal Code. 1st violation —2 x tier one rate 2nd and more —3 x tier one rate The Energy Environment and Natural Resource Commission is recommending: 1st violation - 2 x the tier 4 rate 2nd violation - 5 x the tier 4 rate 3rd violation - 10 x the tier 4 rate With this kind of thinking, who needs the EENRC after these kinds of recommendations? The only reason that the city did not adopt these recommendations is because the computers could not handle that program. Do we have a city government that is out of control? We welcome your opinion! -Sierra Madre Watchman

First Tee of Greater Pasadena and EWGA Host Second Annual Girls’ Golf Day July 25
On July 25th, The First Tee of Greater Pasadena and the Los Angeles Chapter of the Executive Women's Golf Association (EWGA) will hold the second annual Girls’ Golf Day Mentoring Event at the Arroyo Seco Golf Course in South Pasadena. The event will consist of 18 holes of golf at the par-3 course, and a "Big Break" challenge led by The First Tee of Greater Pasadena's coach Kathy Cho.
Last year, the EWGA and The First Tee announced a partnership to increase female mentoring opportunities. The partnership brings together more than 120 EWGA Chapters with 179 The First Tee Chapters to promote female role models and mentors. The partnership will assist The First Tee with their efforts to increase female participation. The First Tee's current female participation stands at 37
percent. This year's event will be comprised of girls enrolled in The First Tee of Greater Pasadena summer classes. Each girl will be paired with an EWGA (Executive Women's Golf Association) mentor. Check-in begins at 8 a.m. with the "Big Break" skills challenge occurring before golf. Tee times begin at 9 a.m. with a shotgun start and will end around noon, followed by lunch.
The executive director of Santa Anita Family Service (SAFS), Dr. Fred Loya, is retiring after thirty years of service to the agency and the City of Monrovia. While employed by SAFS to improve family stability and overall mental health of the community, Dr. Loya was also engaged in other community outreach programs. In the mid-1980s the City of Monrovia was experiencing high levels of crime and drug use. While the city worked to address these issues, Dr. Loya co-chaired the 1987 Drug Abuse Task Force with former Monrovian Mayor Mary Wilcox. Their work led to the Boys and Girls Club and the Mary Wilcox Youth Center in Recreation Park. The intent was to establish venues where
children could play under the supervision of adults. When he served as the Board President of a fledgling Foothill Unity Center, Dr. Loya advocated building the agency into a bigger and better organized agency to provide food and social ser-
vices to the community. He also oversaw the growth of Santa Anita Family Service from the one office in Monrovia, to additional offices in the cities of Covina, San Gabriel, and Pomona. SAFS now provides services to nineteen area cities

Azusa Council Revises Contracting Requirements by joe taglieri The Azusa City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to revise the city's rules for contracting and the procurement of equipment, goods, and services. Citing the need for improved efficiency and inflationary increases in the cost of the various things the city spends money on, council members raised the amount of contracts requiring council approval and a formal bidding process from $10,000 to $25,000. "We've amended the city's purchasing regulations to be more user-friendly," City Attorney Marco Martinez said prior to the council's vote. "We've also added provisions that establish a master service contract component similar to what we do sometimes when we seek services like engineering services from a multiple number of firms, each with a different specialty, we put out a [request for proposal] for that without necessarily having a project in mind," Martinez said. At a public meeting last month City Manager Troy Butzlaff said the threshold increase to $25,000 "does

give the chief executive officer a little bit more latitude to do things that can expedite processes, get things done and come back to the council as a report. ... It's an efficient move on the part of the city to have this authority." Azusa’s procurement ordinance was first adopted in 1999 and until now has not been updated, according to a staff report. City staff members reviewed existing policies and compared them with those of other cities, including Thousand Oaks, Anaheim, Banning, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena and Riverside. According to a staff report, the revised ordinance "updates the definitions in
the ordinance to match those definition in the Construction Cost Accounting Act" and "includes a more comprehensive list of exemptions that mirror the specific needs of Azusa." The revision further "authorizes a 'master service contract' process and continues to authorize the city manager to award public works contracts up to $125,000." The revised ordinance also "establishes formal bidding procedures and thresholds for other types of contracts," such as "professional services, supplies and equipment," the report states. "Generally, department heads may award contracts
up to $5,000, the Procurement Agent/City Manager may award contracts up to $25,000 and the City Council must award any contract exceeding $25,001, unless an exception applies." The revamped ordinance "continues the Azusa local preference in bidding contracts by local businesses, establishes a specific [bidding] process for professional services that complies more fully with Government Code, Section 4526 [and] includes the use of a design build process as an alternate to the more traditional public works construction project procurement procedures," according to the report. "Informal purchases would still be subject to prior budget authorization and the procedures provided in the city's Procurement Manual for formal bid or Request for Proposal processes," the staff report explains. "In addition, the ordinance includes a provision that requires the City Manager to inform the Council of all contracts executed by the City Manager." Council and staff members discussed the ordinance update at a special meeting June 22.

Three Deputy Sheriffs Found Guilty of Federal Civil Rights Offense Concluding a one-week trial, the jury determined that Deputies Fernando Luviano and Sussie Ayala, as well as former Sergeant Eric Gonzalez, violated the civil rights of the victim in 2011 when they beat the man and caused bodily injury. The jury also determined that all three defendants falsified records when they prepared reports about the incident. Two other defendants who were named in a federal grand jury indictment in late 2013—Pantamitr Zunggeemoge and Noel Womack—previously pleaded guilty and are pending sentencing. The evidence presented at trial showed that the victim and his girlfriend went to the jail to visit the woman’s incarcerated brother on February 26, 2011. Both visitors were in the possession of cell phones, which is prohibited under jail rules. When the phones were discovered, the victim was handcuffed and brought into an employee break room, where he was beaten and sprayed with a burning agent similar to pepper spray. The victim was later
transferred to the hospital by paramedics. Following the incident, Gonzalez instructed Zunggeemoge how to write a report that falsely described how the victim swung his left elbow and struck Zunggeemoge, which prompted the use of force against the victim. Subsequent reports by other defendants also falsely described how the victim attempted to escape from the break room. As a result of today’s convictions, Ayala and Gonzalez face a statutory maximum sentence of 40 years in federal prison, and Luviano faces up to 30 years. United States District Judge George H. King, who presided over the trial, is scheduled to sentence the three defendants on November 2. This case is the result of an investigation by the FBI, and is one in a series of cases resulting from investigation into corruption and civil rights abuses at county jails in downtown Los Angeles. With today’s verdicts, 14 current or former members of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department have now been convicted of federal charges.

Summer Can Be Prime Time to Encounter Snakes Outdoors
Huff to Governor: “Return the Money” Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff (R-San Dimas) is calling on the Governor to return $331 million in mortgage settlement funds that were illegally used to cover a state budget shortfall in 2012. A California Superior Court judge ruled earlier this month that the money was improperly taken from the Mortgage Settlement Distribution Fund controlled by Attorney General Kamala Harris. The $331 million represented a payment from five large banks and the money was intended to help financially distressed homeowners in California. In response to the ruling, Senate Minority Leader Huff and other members of the Republican Caucus sent a letter to Governor Brown urging him to restore the funding so the money can be made available to as many as 800,000 California homeowners. Read the letter at http://cssrc.us/sites/default/files/150629_Homeowner.pdf. “The ruling from Judge Timothy Frawley is clear,” said Senator Huff. “This money should be returned to California homeowners
who need it. The funding exists to comply with Judge Frawley’s decision.” The National Asian American Coalition, the COR Community Development Corporation and the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference are responsible for the lawsuit that led to the judge’s decision to return the money. More than two dozen homeowners affected by the ruling recently met with Democrat and Republican

City officials want to remind the public that summer months can be prime time to encounter snakes, including California rattlesnakes, while recreating outdoors in parks or open spaces and while on hiking trails. Remember, snakes generally seek shelter from the sun by hiding under rocks, bushes or in caves and animal burrows during the day. When it’s cooler at night, they can become more active as they hunt for prey. The City offers the following safety tips to help avoid snake bites: • Always be - Photo by Terry Miller aware of your surroundings. legislators. • Walk in areas where “If necessary, Senate Republicans would sup- the ground is clear so you port special budget action can see a few steps ahead. • Be aware of where through a trailer bill to return these misappropriated you sit, before you sit, espefunds,” said Senator Huff. cially in shady areas. • Wear protective cloth“Despite the improving economy, tens of thousands ing, such as long pants, longsleeved shirts and hiking of homeowners in CaliforCO MI to boots nia are still struggling NG • Wear gloves and longmake basic payments.

services organizations to train together, establish common policies and operating standards and share the same operational picture, as well as effective use of equipment and systems. The signing in Sacramento is part of a broader visit to the United States by the Minister for Emergency Services to look at the latest technologies, capability and systems that will help Victoria to achieve its shared goal to build safer and more resilient communities. "California's emergency management agencies are renowned for their expertise and experience in disaster preparedness and mitigation and this partnership allows Victoria to tap into that expertise," said Minister Garrett. "The Victorian Government is proud to have a partnership with the State of California that will produce real and tangible outcomes for the communities in both states." Commissioner Lapsley added,"Given California is currently experiencing drought conditions, there is much we can learn while we are here. But in the longer term, this agreement focuses on fostering joint development of initiatives that support and promote improved service delivery to the community and improved efficiency and capability to manage major emergencies."

California and the State of Victoria, Australia recently signed an agreement that will help make both states safer through the sharing of expertise, technical knowledge, training and best practices in wildland fire and flood management. The Director of the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services and Governor Brown's Homeland Security Advisor (Cal OES) M a r k Ghilarducci, Victorian Minister for Emergency Services Jane Garrett and Victoria's Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two states recognizing the value of international partnerships in emergency management. "This agreement breaks new ground for our state and its ability to be more resilient before, during and after any disaster," said Director Ghilarducci. "The similarities between California and Victoria's climates and hazards create a mutually beneficial learning opportunity for our communities and governments." Both states share similar climates and conditions, as well as similar challenges during emergencies. The MOU addresses some of those challenges by providing a broad framework for cooperation and support between the two states, and it is focused on common hazards such

A mark of a truly remarkable and unforgettable learning experience is when students go back to the same school to teach there. While AbilityFirst is not technically an educational institution, it is a place for individuals with disabilities to gain knowledge and life skills. And “alums” often return to AbilityFirst to volunteer their time and service, which could lead to partor full-time employment. Indeed, this has become a common occurrence. AbilityFirst was established as the Crippled Children’s Society of Southern California in 1926 by members of the Los Angeles Rotary Club, to assist kids with polio. In 2000, it adopted the name AbilityFirst to better reflect their broader mission of helping children and adults with physical and developmental disabilities reach their full potential by providing recreational and socialization programs, employment, accessible housing, and camping. Eight community centers with various locations in Southern California offer children assistance with homework as part of their afterschool enrichment program. The staff of AbilityFirst also engages youth from ages five to 22, with activities in basic life skills, education, adaptive recreation, and day trips. These children also participate in exercise and music programs. A majority of the centers are equipped with swimming pools where aquatic fitness exercises are held to help youngsters and adults keep fit. Mike Barkyoumb, Director of the Lawrence L. Frank Center in Pasadena, said that when he first joined AbilityFirst 16 years ago, activities at the facility were bingo and finger painting. His past experience as Senior Director at the YMCA taught him that it was possible to include sports in their program. The center now has such diverse offerings as basketball, kayaking, parasailing, surfing, even skiing in winter! Providing recreational pursuits to maintain a healthy lifestyle for people with disabilities is of paramount impor-
tance to AbilityFirst. Well planned, safe supervision makes it possible for them to participate in and enjoy any mainstream activity. A cornerstone of AbilityFirst’s plan to serve individuals with disabilities is their employment assistance program. According to Chris Otero, AbilityFirst Manager of Partnership Development, adult services include supported employment by developing specific job competency that applies to individuals’ interests and talents which they can utilize for future occupations. AbilityFirst operates three work centers in Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Wood-
open. Going to summer camps helps children develop social and communications skills as they participate in activities with other kids. It helps individuals build character and gain self-respect as they become responsible for their own safety and survival in a setting outside their comfort zone. Camp Paivika offers this same independence and self-reliance for children, teens, and adults with physical and developmental disabilities. Specially-trained members of AbilityFirst staff provide assistance and guidance as campers enjoy all the fun activities available to them – archery, arts & crafts, campfires and cookouts, nature hikes, horseback-riding, swimming. This year they will have nine summer sessions, and will be open during weekends in winter.

B Nutritious
B
Nutritious is a healthy meal prep service and restaurant that offers delivery, take-out, and catering. Brian Nguyen founded the business in 2014 as an online delivery service until opening his first restaurant location in his hometown El Monte in early 2015. Customers can find a variety of choices on the B Nutritious menu that assures them a healthy well-balanced meal. The simple three-step ordering process starts with guests choosing their carbs that may include mashed yams, purple yams, potato wedges, or brown or jasmine rice. Step Two consists of selecting a protein that can be a chicken leg (dark meat), chicken breast (white meat), ground turkey, ground beef, tilapia, shrimp, salmon, or top sirloin. Lastly, customers choose their boiled veggies that range from broccoli, asparagus, spinach, green beans, or cabbage. Guests who dine-in have more protein and veggie options such as swai, tofu, and bok choy; they also have the option of selecting house favorites that include different bowls, plates, and salads. For visitors who have
story and photos by amelia favela a sweet tooth, Lily’s Lean Machine Whey Better pastries such as cookie dough truffles and s’mores, as well as SD Protein Company donuts, can also be found at the restaurant. B Nutritious came to life three years after Nguyen began the fitness journey that changed his life. In February 2011, the El Monte native decided to make a major change to his lifestyle after coming to terms with the fact that he had gained more than 60 pounds in college. “I took a picture of myself, looked in the mirror, and I just wasn’t happy with how I looked,” said Nguyen. During his journey, the entrepreneur self-educated himself on fitness and nutrition and managed to completely transform his body within three years. After realizing “everything comes down to nutrition,” Nguyen used his acquired knowledge to give back to his community by establishing a service (B Nutritious) that pre-makes wellbalanced meals for whoever wants to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The core value of the prep meal service is to promote a healthier way of life.
B Nutritious owner Brian Nguyen.
Customers - anyone that wants to enjoy a tasty guiltless meal - will find a helpful and friendly staff at B Nutritious. The close-knit team of employees is readily available to help anyone who may need assistance in either choosing menu options or general fitness advice. One of the challenges the Nguyen said he faces is finding the highly sufficient staff members essential for B Nutritious to thrive: “It’s important that I have employees that understand the purpose and core values of
B Nutritious … which makes finding new additions to the team a struggle sometimes.” Although Nguyen faces challenges as the sole owner of the company, it doesn’t discourage him or change his vision of B Nutritious someday becoming a franchise. “This is only the beginning, there’s a lot more to come, I promise you that.” Contact B Nutritious at (626) 975-7524, or dine-in at 3311 Tyler Ave. El Monte, CA 91731.
